Boom!

It was as if a thunderclap exploded above Zhou Mengyan's head.

He felt his head buzzing, and suddenly all the strength left his body, almost causing him to fall to the ground!

"Wh-what?"

"My soldiers, do you want to defect to Zhang Shi?"

"Do they all still want to pledge allegiance to Zhang Shi?"

The confidant quickly replied, "Yes, Grand Commander, there are definitely quite a few people who want to pledge allegiance to Zhang Shi, and the trend is getting stronger and stronger, it has become a prevailing trend and has spread throughout the entire military camp."

"If this continues, Zhang Shi..."

"I'm about to reign supreme in the military!"

Zhou Mengyan's body trembled even more.

Zhang Shi, will he become king and tyrant?

What does that mean?

The lady just left, and now Zhang Shi has arrived?

What's wrong with him? Is he really that incompetent as the Grand Admiral of the Navy? He can never seem to get under control? He'll be sidelined sooner or later.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he immediately asked, "Where's Ruan Fei?"

"Go and fetch Ruan Fei for me."

"Her disciplinary team is always on the move, so how come there's been such a huge commotion without any prior notice?"

The trusted confidant hurried to look for her, but after being harassed by Ning Wanqin several times, a tired-looking Ning Wanqin walked in.

"Brother Mengyan, what's wrong?"

"Oh dear, you don't look well."

"Has something happened?"

"Tell me quickly! Although I don't know anything about military affairs, I can still help you with your worries!"

Almost instinctively, Ruan Fei reached out to hug Zhou Mengyan's arm and give him a loving kiss.

However, the close relationship that the two had developed over time was now avoided by Zhou Mengyan.

"Brother Mengyan, what's wrong?"

Ruan Fei was a little confused.

"Let me ask you," Zhou Mengyan said sternly, "Zhang Shi, what's been going on lately?"

"General Zhang Shi?" Ruan Fei, unsure of Zhou Mengyan's intentions, replied truthfully, "General Zhang Shi is doing very well lately!"

"Very diligent!"

"He's either taking Zhou Buzhang to train the navy or inspecting the military camp every day; he's never idle. Now, everyone in the camp has a good relationship with General Zhang Shi!"

Ruan Fei was lavish in her praise of Zhang Shi: "After all, General Zhang Shi gets along well with all the soldiers, and often eats and drinks with them. He's strong, straightforward, and everyone likes him!"

Zhou Mengyan's fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

He knew nothing about any of these things!

This is clearly a way to win people's hearts!

Ruan Fei monitors everything every day, but what is she monitoring?

A cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes as he said, "Why didn't you report these things to me before?"

"besides……"

"Now the entire camp is talking about wanting to serve General Zhang Shi, wanting to serve General Zhang Shi..."

"If I hadn't discovered this today, the entire military camp would have belonged to Zhang Shi in a little while!"

Do you even know?!

Zhou Mengyan grew angrier as he spoke, and the last two sentences were almost shouted out, which startled Ruan Fei. However, Ruan Fei and Zhou Mengyan had a special relationship, and Ruan Fei still had a great psychological advantage when facing Zhou Mengyan.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Brother Meng Yan, I really don't know much about these things, but... even so, it's alright, isn't it?"

"General Zhang Shi is just insecure, which is why he wants to recruit more people to follow him. But whether they follow him or not, he is still your subordinate, Brother Meng Yan, so isn't that the same as following you?"

"They're all the same!"

Why are you so angry?

Ruan Fei didn't understand Zhou Mengyan's thoughts, but she was actually quite pleased with herself. She hadn't expected General Zhang Shi to be so capable, managing to make such a move in such a short time!

It seems that cooperating with General Zhang Shi was absolutely the right decision. With General Zhang Shi helping her gather talent and build her power, her strength will only increase, and then she will be able to compete for the title of commander-in-chief of the all-female army with an even stronger presence.

But her nonchalant attitude only added fuel to the fire for Zhou Mengyan, who roared, "Xiao Fei, don't you realize how serious this is?"

"If this continues, Zhang Shi will become a second wife!"

"The second person to control me!"

"I knew it! How could Ren Tianye be so wary of Zhang Shi, a figure who swept through the northern frontier and annihilated its inhabitants? So that's why... Zhang Shi has this mess of insecurities!"

"Once he felt insecure, he started trying to win over factions!"

"Hmph, I think Ren Tianye is too lenient. If it were me, I would have gotten rid of Zhang Shi long ago!"

Zhou Mengyan's anger surged, and he became increasingly rude to Ruan Fei: "Xiao Fei, you swore to me that you would monitor the movements of the entire army!"

"Is this the result of your investigation?"

"Did he create a major enemy for me in the military?"

Zhou Mengyan's face already showed a hint of disgust.

But Ruan Fei, suddenly...

She was on the verge of tears!

"Brother Meng Yan, you...you yelled at me!"

"How dare you yell at me!"

"This is the umpteenth time you've yelled at me."

"you……"

"You've started yelling at me all the time lately!"

"I knew it! You never loved me. All those promises about loving only me after Madam left were lies, complete lies!"

Zhou Mengyan was taken aback.

"Wait, wasn't this supposed to be about Zhang Shi declaring himself king? How did it suddenly turn into a question of love?"

"Xiao Fei..."

Zhou Mengyan's tone softened slightly as he said, "This matter..."

"You yelled at me!" Tears streamed down Ruan Fei's face, her expression one of utter despair. "You yelled at me... I don't want to live anymore!"

Ruan Fei turned and swerved towards the side of the tent, startling Zhou Mengyan, who rushed to stop her, and his confidants also tried to stop her. Finally…

They couldn't stop them!

Ruan Fei was too fast, and Zhou Mengyan couldn't stop her at all.

With a loud clang.

Ruan Fei was suddenly struck by a burst of golden light and immediately fainted!

Startled, Zhou Mengyan quickly bent down to check on her and then summoned the army doctor. After a long while, the doctor finally concluded, "Grand Commander, Miss Ruan Fei is alright; the impact wasn't serious!"

Zhou Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the impact wasn't too severe. But then again, the supports around the tent weren't rough wood or stones, so the impact shouldn't have been too heavy.

"Grand Commander, just let Miss Ruanfei rest for a while."

The military doctor prescribed the medicine and left.

Zhou Mengyan left his confidants aside and personally stayed with Ruan Fei until dawn, only returning to the military camp after Ruan Fei had fallen asleep peacefully.

He woke up his trusted confidant who had just fallen asleep.

His first words were a military order.

"Regardless of the circumstances, Zhang Shi is a..."

"They can't stay!"

"They must be eliminated!"

The trusted confidant, loyal to Zhou Mengyan, remained steadfast despite the ordeal. His expression turned solemn as he declared, "The Grand Commander is wise! A man like Zhang Shi must be eliminated; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"
