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

The confidants shouted loudly and dramatically.

Zhang Shi drew his knife, ready to fight, but Ruan Fei, standing to the side,...disdainfully ignored him!

He said, "Alright, stop shouting!"

"It's incredibly noisy!"

"General Wu Xingzhou, like General Zhang Shi, came to serve with sincerity. He brought more than twenty ships and loaded them with so much stuff to show his sincerity."

"General Wu Xingzhou hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already slandering and defaming him... Can you please stop being so petty!"

"Why do you always judge others by your own petty standards, no matter what?"

"I'm truly impressed by you!"

Zhang Shi immediately added, "Miss Ruan Fei is right. The saying goes, 'If you use someone, don't doubt them; if you don't trust them, don't use them.' Either don't send General Wu Xingzhou at all, or if he does, make good use of him."

"Furthermore, General Wu Xingzhou came with such great sincerity, and you've been slandering him... How despicable!"

After a pause, Zhang Shidao said, "Miss Ruan Fei, this person is really annoying. When General Wu Xingzhou comes over and sees this, he will most likely be very angry. Let him go."

Ruan Fei nodded and said, "He must be sent down."

The world suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Shi's mood soared. Although there were some minor setbacks, overall it went smoothly... no, it went very smoothly!

He felt like jumping up when things were going smoothly.

So they continued to wait together with Ruan Fei, watching Wu Xingzhou get closer and closer... and then...

"Huh, why does it look like there's a light?"

Ruan Fei suddenly asked a question.

"Really?" Zhang Shi said calmly, "Was there any firelight? I didn't see any!"

"General Zhang Shi, look closely, there's a flame! Wow, it's getting bigger and bigger!"

"Oh, it really is! There's a fire."

"The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting closer and closer..." Ruan Fei looked somewhat bewildered: "General Zhang Shi, this fire..."

Zhang Shi smiled, no longer wanting to answer.

More than twenty small boats came hurtling in like arrows, their hay and oil ignited, and the wind fanned the flames, turning the fire into a raging inferno in an instant!

When the fire gets close, all the large ships will be engulfed in flames in an instant, and the Yunjing Navy, which guards the Yangtze River defense line, will vanish into thin air.

At times like this, the only thing he needs to do is...

It's about avoiding their sharp edge!

Avoid Wu Xingzhou's raging fire to prevent yourself from suffering this unnecessary pain.

Just as she was about to leave, Ruan Fei exclaimed with delight, "I know, it's General Wu Xingzhou's celebration!"

"General Wu Xingzhou must have felt that he had broken away from Ren Tianye, so he couldn't help but set fire to celebrate on the way here."

Zhang Shidu was about to leave when he heard this, and he froze completely, turning around and saying, "What?"

Ruan Fei said, "Look at this huge fire, brought by General Wu Xingzhou. What else could it be for if not to celebrate?"

At this moment, Zhang Shi was completely stunned.

That's outrageous!

Just now, my confidant said that we should use fire. Now you've seen the huge fire that Wu Xingzhou brought, and you're saying it's a celebration!

This brain...

For a moment, Zhang Shi couldn't tell whether Ruan Fei was truly mentally challenged or just rambling on her deathbed.

However, Zhang Shi quickly confirmed it.

It must be due to a lack of intelligence and experience. In the eyes of someone like Ruan Fei who is not an expert, it is completely unimaginable that the Duke would launch a fire attack on the Yangtze River!

She probably couldn't understand that a single fire could be enough to decide the outcome of a battle.

Thinking this, Zhang Shi sighed again.

What kind of swift fighting style is that?!

Even the most powerful fighting style has to face a normal person. If you're facing that kind of person every day, even the best fighting style is useless, okay?

"Oh, something's not right..." Ruan Fei suddenly added, "General Wu Xingzhou may be celebrating, but if the fire spreads over, won't it burn our ships?"

"Then wouldn't the ships at the head of the line be damaged?"

"No, no..."

As the flames drew closer and the heatwave intensified, Ruan Fei finally realized something was wrong and said, "If the fire accidentally burns down our warships, and that scoundrel Ren Tianye takes the opportunity to launch an attack..."

"hiss!"

"Won't we then find ourselves on the defensive?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Shi's feelings were extremely complicated. For some reason, he felt that Ruan Fei's mind had finally returned to normal, and he even felt a little relieved.

But he still casually remarked, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"Our plan to block the river with iron chains is flawless. Even if some ships are burned by the fire, it won't be a big problem. As for Ren Tianye's sneak attack..."

"snort!"

"Unless something unexpected happens, Ren Tianye... shouldn't even think about attacking!"

Ruan Fei nodded again, completely trusting Zhang Shi's words, but the next moment, an unexpected event occurred.

A thunderous sound rang out!

"What a tragedy!"

"Who, who chained up all my ships...? And what's with the raging fire?"

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan, who wasn't even wearing armor, ran up to the deck with a pale face, but the scene that came into view almost made him so excited that he went to see his grandmother!
