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

Shen Moyan felt his chest boil with rage and a murderous intent rose within him.

Those two bastards, surnamed Zhao and Qian, are only arrogant because they control the entire Yangtze River defense line's navy. What are they so cocky about? You've humiliated him like this. Wait until he returns from the Jiangbei fortresses, having achieved unparalleled merit, and replaces you two with Lu Chaosheng. Then…

Thinking this, a cold glint flashed in Shen Moyan's eyes.

When the time comes, I will definitely take the heads of those two.

However, for now, he had to swallow his pride and carefully apologize, saying, "Generals, I am here to offer advice to the Grand Commander, which concerns the safety of our Yangtze River defense line."

"I dare to ask the two generals to make way."

"Let the villain pass."

Generals Zhao and Qian already knew about this matter, so naturally they wouldn't stop it, but insults and abuse were inevitable.

"You? Offering advice? What do you know besides those petty, despicable things in your head?"

"If you could offer any advice, pigs could fly!"

……

Although the two naval generals, Zhao and Qian, did not stop him, they did not spare him a single curse, making him follow Shen Moyan all the way to the Grand Commander's tent.

Upon seeing the Grand Commander emerge, the two reluctantly shut their mouths, but they still looked quite displeased with the way they saw Shen Moyan, that pretty boy.

Shen Moyan immediately knelt down: "Grand Commander, I, Shen Moyan, have come to offer a plan that can make that villain Ren Tianye retreat without a fight, thus securing the natural barrier of the Yangtze River."

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a square face and a dignified air. He wore armor and exuded an aura as imposing as a mountain.

Upon hearing this, she merely glanced coldly at Shen Moyan and said, "You?"

"Do you have a plan to offer?"

"Yes, yes, this humble general has a plan to offer."

"Heh!" Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan chuckled lightly, his tone full of detachment, but he still said, "Speak, what is your plan?"

Shen Moyan took a deep breath and said, "Grand Commander, the reason why Ren Tianye dares to covet such a natural barrier as our Yangtze River defense line is simply because he believes he can train a navy that can rival our Yangtze River defense line navy."

"Ren Tianye can only rely on Lu Chaosheng of the former Jiangbei Fortress Group. Coincidentally, I have a past relationship with Lu Chaosheng and we are very close."

"If I just send one letter..."

"If I go in person and persuade Lu Chaosheng, then Lu Chaosheng will surely abandon his post in Tianye and come to serve you, Grand Commander."

"At that time, without Lu Chaosheng, Ren Tianye will be like a tiger without teeth. With only 200,000 infantrymen he brought from the capital and the northern frontier, how dare he wage war against us at the natural barrier of the Yangtze River?"

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan nodded: "What you said is quite right. Without Lu Chaosheng, Ren Tianye would be like a tiger without teeth."

"Unfortunately, Marquis Jingyi, Pei Wugou, was incompetent, handing over a naval commander like Lu Chaosheng to Ren Tianye. What a pity..."

"but……"

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan abruptly changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming stern and cold: "You say you can persuade Lu Chaosheng to come and join us? I really can't believe it."

"It's true that you were once Lu Chaosheng's subordinate, and it's true that you know Lu Chaosheng, but as far as this commander knows, you stole Lu Chaosheng's woman, didn't you?"

"You and he have a romantic relationship?"

"What kind of friendship?"

"An irreconcilable friendship?"

The news that Shen Moyan and Lu Chaosheng's daughter Ning Wanqin had registered their marriage was widely known, not only among the soldiers of the Jiangbei Fortress complex, but also among everyone else.

Even the soldiers on the Yangtze River defense line talked about it with great interest, treating it as a topic of conversation during their leisure time. It can be said that Shen Moyan's reputation on the Yangtze River defense line is in no way inferior to that of Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan.

Even among ordinary people who are unfamiliar with military affairs, Shen Moyan's name is more well-known than that of Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan.

After all, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

Therefore, Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan was able to accurately point out the strangeness of the matter.

Meanwhile, Generals Zhao and Qian, who had always disliked Shen Moyan, got excited again.

"Heh, that's hilarious! A pretty boy like you dares to say you have a good relationship with Lu Chaosheng? What kind of relationship do you two have? Are you kindred spirits?"

"If I were Lu Chaosheng, the first thing I'd do upon seeing you is kill you. Talking about surrender? Are you dreaming? Or are you still dreaming?!"

……

After several rounds of conversation, Shen Moyan was rendered speechless, his face turning red. In addition, his military skills and mental fortitude were far from sufficient, and for a moment, he was stuck, humming and stammering for a long time without saying another word.

This further inflamed Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan's already bad mood, and he directly shouted, "Guards, beat him out with sticks!"

"If you dare to spout nonsense and disrupt morale again, I'll use your head as a sacrifice for the flag."

The guards on both sides immediately rushed out.

As if the matter wasn't serious enough, the two naval generals, Zhao and Qian, replaced their personal guards and rushed forward like tigers and wolves.

Just as Shen Moyan was about to faint from the psychological pressure, a charming and gentle voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tent flap was lifted.

A young girl, dressed in a clean, plain-colored long dress, without any makeup, and with a fair complexion, walked in with a smile.

"Brother Mengyan..." she called out sweetly to Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan, and said with a smile, "After all, I'm here to offer advice, it might be useful, you should give me a chance, right?"

The voice, sweet and gentle like honey, reached the ears of Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan. His solemn face instantly melted away like ice and snow, revealing a radiant smile.

"Xiao Fei, what brings you here?"

"You're not feeling well. We told you to rest in the rear camp, why did you come out again?"

"Wouldn't that make me worry?"

As he said this, Zhou Mengyan stood up, took three steps at a time, walked to Ruan Fei, and affectionately took her hand, pulling her to sit on the tiger chair together.

His hand instinctively reached out to rub Ruan Fei's stomach, but then he remembered there were outsiders in the tent, so he stopped. However, the concern in his eyes was overflowing.

"Xiaofei, be good and don't run around, understand?"

"Oh dear, Brother Meng Yan, Xiao Fei is a grown-up now, not a little kid anymore. Please stop treating me like a baby, okay?"

"I know what I'm doing."

"Alright, alright, alright!" Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan readily agreed: "My little Fei has grown up, she's not a child anymore, she should be treated like an adult."

The two exchanged sweet words, just like a loving couple. Generals Zhao and Qian under their command also wore maternal smiles, as if they were reading a love story certified by the Alliance of Hearts, and were reading with great interest.

Only Shen Moyan was bewildered in the wind.

"No, um, Grand Commander... about my matter..."
