The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Everyone was genuinely startled.

Especially Pei Wugou's imposing appearance instantly reminded the soldiers of the scene where Pei Wugou single-handedly cut through the Cangbo Camp with a single sword, their backs soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, it was just a scare.

Pei Wugou's face-planting appearance put the soldiers at ease.

"Oh my, I thought he could still fight!"

"My god, that really scared me. I have to say, the two brothers who carried out this task deserve a lot of credit."

"Both brothers almost broke their wrists. I felt really sorry for them, so I went to buy some good wound medicine and sent it to them."

"I'll give it to you, let's chip in and buy it!"

"No problem!"

……

The soldiers shouted, waiting for Pei Wugou's reaction. Seeing Pei Wugou fall to the ground and try to get up but fail to do so, they felt relieved.

At this moment, the brothers from Cangbo Camp rushed out.

"Hey, Lord Marquis, aren't you quite the fighter? Come on, the brothers of our Cangbo Camp are waiting for you."

"My lord, stand up, pick up your sword, and let me see how you're going to cut off my head!"

"Damn it, you think you're so tough? Come on then!"

……

Many people from Cangbo Camp followed, and after some teasing and joking, Pei Wugou could only lie on the ground groaning. His fear had completely disappeared, leaving only endless anger.

It can be said that the Cangbo Camp members harbored the most anger towards Pei Wugou throughout the entire army.

At this moment, such an opportunity to kick a man when he's down is one that we absolutely will not let slip.

One of them immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and said to his deputy Chen Song, "General Chen Song, this Pei Wugou is acting against the natural order and doesn't value our lives. To hand him over to the Duke is far too lenient on him."

"If you ask me, we can't just let this go!"

"Doesn't he have a woman? I think we don't need to give her to the Duke's Demon Suppression Division. Let's just distribute her among the brothers."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded with a resounding roar of agreement.

Laughter filled the air.

Pei Wugou, who had been crawling on the ground like a maggot, suddenly turned bloodshot.

"You...you dare?"

Immediately, a mouthful of blood gushed out with a "pfft".

This scene, on the contrary, made the soldiers even happier.

They all started signing up.

"General Chen Song, I'm a germaphobe, I'll be first in line!"

"General Chen Song, I can be last in line; I like being last!"

"General Chen Song, I don't want Wen He or anything like that. Give me Pei Wugou instead; she's so fair and delicate!"

……

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Chen Song gestured with his hands to lower the volume, and after the noise subsided, he said, "I don't know if you're joking or taking it seriously."

"However, we are going to serve the Duke next, which means that Pei Wugou is already the Duke's prisoner, as is Wen He, so..."

"Brothers, stop messing around!"

"Arrest these two criminals and wait for General Wang Ming to enter the city."

None of the soldiers objected; they immediately responded with a resounding roar. Two men from the Cangbo Battalion volunteered to escort Pei Wugou.

Just as Pei Wugou was helped up, a strand of hair fell in front of him. Almost instinctively, Pei Wugou blew on it slightly, making his hair fly and displaying what he considered to be an incredibly handsome look.

This immediately enraged the two brothers from the Cangbo Camp.

Damn, we're still here!

Even in this state, why are you still trying to act cool?

He casually picked up a basin from inside the tent and poured the cold water over Pei Wugou's head, soaking him completely.

Pei Wugou was already in a bad state after being beaten, and now, seeing his appearance in the bronze mirror inside the tent, Pei Wugou felt like he wanted to die!

He believed he had two weaknesses throughout his life.

One of their weaknesses is Wen He!

His only weakness is his stunning good looks!

But now, both of his vulnerabilities have been brutally trampled upon, making his life worse than death.

But what Pei Wugou didn't expect was that his third weakness would soon emerge.

That is……

As he was being put into the prison van, he encountered Wen He, who was also being put into the van.

When the two met across the prison cart, Pei Wugou's first reaction was: Oh no, I can't let Xiaohe see me in such a wretched state!

As he thought this, Wen He called out.

"Awu, Awu, is that you? Is that you?"

"No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me!"

"It's you, it's you, it's definitely you, A-Wu! What happened to you?"

These words shattered Pei Wugou's already breached psychological defenses once again.

This appearance?!

How could he show himself like this?

Or should we face Wen He?

He would rather die than face Wen He like this!

He tried his best to turn his head away from the prison cart, even though it aggravated his wounds and caused him excruciating pain, so as not to see Wen He.

Unfortunately, the brothers in Cangbo Camp didn't give him that chance.

He turned his face, showing Wen He his most disheveled state, and even answered for Wen He, "Don't you know how he got into this state?"

In short, this piqued the interest of Deputy General Chen Song.

"Hahaha, Miss Wen He, Pei Wugou is in this state thanks to you. If you hadn't had your saintly heart and secretly released Song Shaoyi, how could Pei Wugou have taken the beating?"

"If Pei Wugou won't take the beating for you, how can I let Pei Wugou be beaten so badly he can't stand up?"

"How can we invite the Duke's troops into the city if Pei Wugou isn't beaten to the point of being unable to stand?"

"If you think about it, you were a hero in the Battle of Zhenjiang!"

"You're the biggest contributor!"

"Come on..." Chen Song shouted to the entire army, "Everyone, shout with me, Miss Wen He is a great hero!"

The soldiers, eager for chaos to erupt, shouted, "Wen He is a great hero!"

"Wen He is a great contributor!"

"Wen He is a great contributor!"

The sound was clear and resonant, echoing through the sky.

Wen He's face was pale.

"Is it me?"

"Did I cause A-Wu's death?"

Lieutenant Chen Song smiled and nodded, saying, "Miss Wen He, congratulations! You've finally shown some intelligence!"

Chen Song was in a great mood, having vented all the anger he had been holding back these past few days, so he made jokes without restraint until a messenger came to report: "General, General Wang Ming's troops have arrived at the gates of Zhenjiang!"

"Good!" Chen Song's spirits lifted, and he turned to the entire army, shouting, "Brothers, General Wang Ming is here! You've all been waiting for him for so long, why aren't you going to greet him?"

With a resounding "yes," the soldiers rushed toward the city gate, even starting a race, as if afraid that if they were too slow, they wouldn't be able to join Ren Tianye's forces.

Before long, the city gate was packed with people, leaving only one passage to welcome the army into the city.

Wang Ming, leading the pack, was tall and imposing, with a broad smile on his face.

"So, Zhenjiang City has been captured again!"

"Ah, if only General Zhang Shi would have come along!"
