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

Pei Jingzhi was quite happy.

He and Chen Liang plotted against the Duke in the capital. Later, the Duke disregarded past grievances and took him in as a trusted minister. He was deeply grateful and had no regrets.

The only regret is that my good friend Chen Liang disappeared without a trace. I haven't heard from him for so long. The next time I heard of him was in Pukou City, but after Pukou City fell, Chen Liang disappeared again.

They said they went to repay a debt of gratitude.

Where did the gratitude go?

So long?

Now that he was finally about to see Chen Liang, Pei Jingzhi was overjoyed. He stood up abruptly and said, "Lord Duke, um, I'm going..."

Go!

Ren Tianye smiled.

Pei Jingzhi, like a wild horse, immediately galloped out and spotted Chen Liang in the distance.

Chen Liang also saw Pei Jingzhi.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two felt as if they had been separated by a lifetime and walked up to each other without thinking.

"Lord Pei, it's been a long time. You've lost weight."

"You too, Chen Liang." Pei Jingzhi sighed, "Back then, you and I were both wholeheartedly devoted to the country, willing to shed our blood for the Empress, but in the end, we were left with nothing but confusion. Fortunately, now that we've followed the Duke, the situation is settled. Chen Liang, you should also serve the Duke."

Chen Liang said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking, but I'm afraid the Duke won't tolerate it."

Pei Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "The Duke is magnanimous and generous, how could he not tolerate it? Besides, you have done a great deal in Pukou City. Based on these achievements, you should be rewarded for your service."

As he spoke, Pei Jingzhi took Chen Liang's hand and they entered the tent side by side, kneeling down on the ground. Chen Liang also knelt down on the ground.

"Lord Duke, we have offended you greatly before. Now that Chen Liang has come to surrender, we hope you will give him a chance!"

Ren Tianye was being whispered to by Zhang Shi at this moment. When he heard about the chaos in the world, his expression remained calm. However, when he heard about Gu Qingyue, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Their gazes involuntarily turned to Chen Liang.

Upon hearing Pei Jingzhi's words, he immediately laughed and said, "I am overjoyed that Chen Liang is willing to come, and besides..."

"Chen Liang also brought me a lot of important news."

"Someone, bring a seat!"

There were no designated seats in the military camp. Ren Tianye's actions showed his high regard for Chen Liang. Chen Liang was intelligent and perceptive, so how could he not understand?

He quickly declined, then brought up the important matter: "Lord Duke, the world is about to descend into chaos, I implore you to take this matter to heart."

Ren Tianye's expression turned slightly solemn.

In fact, this matter was expected. Given the commotion caused by Empress Xiao Mingzhao, it would be strange if the world wasn't in chaos. It's just that powerful figures from all walks of life are observing the situation.

If he successfully takes Yunjing, then all will submit to him. But if he is bogged down in the attack on Yunjing, or even suffers a defeat, then the world will surely descend into chaos.

Ren Tianye had already decided on this matter.

Therefore, when Wei Shuo was first summoned here, another imperial decree was given to him halfway through the journey, instructing him to monitor the world on his behalf and to nip any rebellion in the bud.

During this period, Wei Shuo had been corresponding with him and had not seen any disturbances, proving that the situation was still under control.

Ren Tianye was not in a hurry.

Let's take it one step at a time. The Great Yu Dynasty has been in this state for eight hundred years. How can it be completely pacified and restored to its former glory overnight?

Right now, the most important thing is to take down Yun Jing, the culprit!

Ren Tianye nodded slightly and asked, "Zhang Shi said you also spotted Gu Qingyue this time?"

"Yes!" Chen Liang quickly replied, "This is the second thing I wanted to report to you, Duke. Although I haven't seen Gu Qingyue, I know what she's planning to do."

"Back then, after Gu Qingyue murdered the Duke of Ren in the capital, I personally let her go. When she left, Gu Qingyue still seemed full of confidence."

"At the time, I didn't pay attention."

"I felt overjoyed that I had finally gotten rid of this plague."

"But unexpectedly, Gu Qingyue actually did something. She is working hard to build an all-female army to fight against the Duke."

"And right now..."

Chen Liang said, enunciating each word clearly, "It has already yielded results."

Ren Tianye frowned slightly.

To be fair, Gu Qingyue's departure wasn't entirely due to Chen Liang's permission; it was intentional on his part.

In Ren Tianye's view, leaving a fool like Gu Qingyue to stir up trouble was far better than having countless enemies lurking in the shadows.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyue was even stronger than he had imagined.

He still has some skill.

They actually assembled an all-female army!

"An all-female army...does that mean an army composed entirely of women?"

"Such a large army... must be carefully protected!"

"Many of my brothers in the army are still single."

Thinking this, he asked, "How far has Gu Qingyue's all-female army progressed?"

Chen Liang said, "I haven't found out the details yet, but I have found out that Gu Qingyue has recruited several women to organize and lead her so-called all-female army."

"Oh?" Ren Tianye asked in surprise, "Who are they?"

Chen Liang said, "I only know that there is one at Zijin Pass, who seems to be the wife of the garrison commander of Zijin Pass."

"There are two more on the other side of the Yangtze River."

"One of these two men seems to have an inextricable connection with Zhou Mengyan, the Grand Admiral of the Navy."

Upon hearing this, Ren Tianye was immediately invigorated.

Not only Ren Tianye, but everyone else in the military camp was also invigorated.

Especially Zhang Shi.

Their eyes lit up.

Is it related to Zhou Mengyan, the Grand Admiral of the Navy?

So... once this romantic relationship is figured out, isn't the Yangtze River defense line just a pile of clay and earthenware? It'll shatter with a single blow!

"There's one more person..."

Chen Liang's voice rang out again: "It's Ning Wanqin, the betrothed of Lu Chaosheng of the Jiangbei Fortress Complex!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shi jumped up.

"Who?"

"Who are you talking about?"
