Ning Wanqin was on the verge of tears, but Gu Qingyue didn't care.

He said directly, "Of course it's you, Wanqin! You're the most suitable candidate, who else could it be!"

"When you get back, tell Ruan Fei for me that I, Gu Qingyue, am in charge of this all-female army."

"She, Ruan Fei, can only obey my orders!"

"She wants the Wind Camp? Dream on!"

"She wants 30,000 people? Dream on!"

"From now on, she must be one of the four battalions (front, rear, left, and right), and can only lead 10,000 men!"

"If she dares to disobey..."

Gu Qingyue's eyes sharpened: "I command an army of 60,000. I will make her know what the consequences will be if she dares to disobey me!"

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, he left, leaving Ning Wanqin alone, bewildered in the wind.

Ning Wanqin discovered that she seemed to be born to run errands. No matter what it was, as long as someone was needed to relay a message, she would inevitably be the one assigned to it.

The problem is, she can never refuse.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; I, Ning Wanqin, will one day carve out my own destiny, and I will never allow such a thing to happen to me again!"

Ning Wanqin made a silent vow in her heart.

After spending several days with the all-female army and establishing an alliance with Gu Qingyue, they had no choice but to set off again to return to the naval camp.

Despite the arduous journey that took several days, Ning Wanqin did not linger upon arriving at the naval camp. Instead, she went straight inside to find Zhang Shi.

Although he was stopped by his personal guards at the entrance of Zhang Shi's tent, most of the conversations inside the tent could still be heard.

"General Zhang Shi, I think we can bring that Commander Liu under our wing. He's quite capable, and since he's not a direct subordinate of the Grand Commander, he'd be perfect for us!"

"Vice Governor, why don't we just openly declare our intentions? If you step forward and make a grand gesture, countless people will surely flock to you and respond."

"Our strength is insufficient right now, so it's best to keep a low profile. However, General Zhou Buzhang is right; we can try to win over that Liu fellow first. After General Zhou Buzhang trains him, he might very well become a great general!"

"Stone, you need to work harder during this period, recruit more people, and expand our strength!"

……

Ning Wanqin, who was outside the tent, was completely dumbfounded.

She went to the all-female army and then returned; the whole trip took at most a month, maybe even less than a month. How could that be...?

Judging from what's being said in the tent, General Zhang Shi, is he going against the Grand Commander?

No, is General Zhang Shi really that fierce?

They're almost not even trying to hide it from people anymore?

Ning Wanqin's heart was in turmoil, but Zhang Shi remained calm, as his power had expanded rapidly during this period.

With the stone as a clue, he could easily find those generals who respected the Duke and even longed to join him.

Through Zhou Buzhang, we can win over not only veteran soldiers in the army, but also some pragmatic talents cultivated by Zhou Buzhang!

This made Zhang Shi's power terrifying in a short period of time. In addition, Ruan Fei kept various movements under Zhou Mengyan's control, making Zhang Shi very comfortable.

Zhang Shi felt that if he were given a year, he could become the Grand Admiral of the Navy!

With the situation already in this state, it was time to stop hiding it. Zhang Shi's actions no longer needed to be kept secret, since something this big couldn't be kept hidden!

Then let's leave it partially open!

In any case, with the power he has gathered now, even if Zhou Mengyan really wanted to take action against him, he would have to think twice!

"General Zhang Shi, Ning Wanqin has arrived."

"Hmm!" Zhang Shi nodded to his personal guard and said, "Bring him in!"

After Ning Wanqin entered, Zhang Shicai said to Shi Tou, Zhou Buzhang, and the others in the tent, "You should proceed according to the plan."

Everyone took their leave.

Ning Wanqin's mouth opened wide!

They really don't hide it from her!

"General Zhang Shi, this..."

Zhang Shi sighed immediately, "Alas, there's nothing I can do. The Grand Commander listened to Ruan Fei's slander and wanted to harm me. I was just trying to protect myself... By the way, Wanqin, why are you back?"

"What did Gu Qingyue say?"

Ning Wanqin then said, "Lord Gu Qingyue greatly admires you and hopes to have the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the grand plan against Ren Tianye. Also..."

"Sister Gu Qingyue disagreed with Ruan Fei's request and asked me to warn Ruan Fei."

"I'd like to ask the general for advice on what to do now?"

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment.

No, you're asking him that too?

Do you really think of him as a strategist?

Zhang Shi, will he ever have a chance to be a strategist in this lifetime?

He immediately said, "Regarding this matter, I think you should first go to see Ruan Fei, tell her the truth, and see her reaction before we make any further plans!"

Ning Wanqin still trusted Zhang Shi. After all, Zhang Shi had given her a clear objective as the Grand Commander and had also formed an alliance with her. She nodded and said, "Alright, General Zhang Shi, since you've said so, then..."

"I'll go find Ruan Fei first!"

"We'll talk about it later!"

After this was settled, Ning Wanqin left Zhang Shijun's camp and went straight to find Ruan Fei. However, along the way, she discovered some strange things in the camp!

seem……

There are so many more voices!

But this sound...

Every time she heard it and tried to get closer, it would suddenly disappear!

"Why are so many people gathered together?"

"In twos and threes."

"They were talking the whole time, but as soon as I got closer, they scattered?"

"What's wrong with this military camp?"

"It feels like sound is everywhere!"

Ning Wanqin was puzzled.

At the same moment, Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan was also puzzled.

He asked his personal guards, "Hey, have you noticed anything strange lately? There's been a lot more noise in the camp!"

"It's a complete mess!"

"But every time I approach, these sounds immediately disappear."

"Is it just my imagination?"

"Or is there something you need?"

The guard immediately replied, "Grand Commander, everything in the camp has been fine. Moreover, Miss Ruan Fei's disciplinary team has been monitoring us. If anything unusual happens, we will report it immediately."

"I think it's possible that you've been working too hard lately, Grand Commander, and that's why you're hallucinating."

"Calm down, and everything will be alright!"

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan asked in doubt, "Is that so?"

"Yes, Grand Commander, it must be because you've been working too hard!"

Zhou Mengyan sighed: "It's all because we don't have enough naval commanders, which is why I, the governor, am so exhausted."

"Alright, alright, let's get some rest early today."

"You may leave!"

The guards obeyed the order and left. As soon as they stepped out of the main tent, they gathered together with several other guards.

"Don't you think it's a better choice for us to join General Zhang Shi? After all, General Zhang Shi is not only capable, but also very generous and kind to his subordinates. I feel that following General Zhang Shi is better than following the Grand Commander!"
