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

Zhang Shi quickly took another bite of rabbit meat, making it seem as if he had already eaten, so that Ning Wanqin could not ask for more. Then, with a look of surprise on his face, he asked, "Miss Wanqin, why are you back?"

"So, has your position as president been confirmed?"

Ning Wanqin's face showed some bitterness as she said, "General Zhang Shi, compared to them, I only have a few merits, but these people don't recognize them at all. I feel..."

"It won't be easy for me to get the position of President!"

Zhang Shi immediately said seriously, "Hey, Miss Wanqin, how can you say such a thing?"

"Where there's a will, there's a way. How can you predict the outcome without effort? How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"

"I think you have a very good chance!"

"You need to work incredibly hard, even harder, and try your best!"

Ning Wanqin exclaimed in surprise, "General Zhang Shi, really?"

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Me, me, I have a chance?"

Zhang Shi affirmed, "There's an excellent chance!"

You must have a chance!

"Moreover, we have a close relationship, and I am willing to support you as the Grand Commander. As long as you can convince your other four sisters, I will have no objections."

"From now on, I'll consult you about anything!"

Ning Wanqin instantly became excited.

Her purpose in returning this time was to ask Zhang Shi for help in ascending to the position of Grand Commander, or at the very least, to gain Zhang Shi's support.

Unexpectedly, General Zhang Shi offered his support without her even having to say a word. She immediately expressed her gratitude, saying, "General Zhang Shi, I understand. I will fight tooth and nail for this position of Commander-in-Chief!"

"Good, very good, well done!" Zhang Shi praised Ning Wanqin three times, expressing his appreciation for her. Then he said, "Miss Wanqin, it's getting late. You should go back now to avoid arousing suspicion from others."

Ning Wanqin nodded, clearly better than Ruan Fei. She didn't covet the roasted rabbit in Zhang Shi's hand, and left gracefully after saying "Keep this a secret."

Zhang Shi had almost finished eating the roasted rabbit in his hand, but he did not choose to leave. He had a vague feeling that someone might come looking for him.

Zhang Shi's calculations were accurate. Before long, Shen Zhi'an arrived, hoping that Zhang Shi would support her in becoming the Grand Commander.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen, we have a close relationship, and besides, your husband Zhou Buzhang works for me. For that reason alone, I must support you!"

"Besides, you've contributed both money and effort to the all-female army. From that perspective, you deserve the most credit for its formation. You've done a tremendous service, so it wouldn't be fair not to give you the position of commander-in-chief!"

"So don't worry, I'll definitely support you!"

"Furthermore... I won't tell anyone about our alliance; it's a secret between us!"

Shen Zhian left happily.

Zhang Shi thought he could leave now, since he wasn't familiar with Gu Qingyue and Tang Baobao before, especially Tang Baobao, whom he had only met for the first time today.

The two of them probably won't come looking for him.

but……

Zhang Shi was wrong. He had just reached the mountainside when Gu Qingyue, panting heavily, rushed uphill. When she met him, she was overjoyed.

"Lord Gu? What are you doing here?"

Zhang Shi guessed that they were trying to form an alliance with him, but he wasn't entirely sure.

"General Zhang Shi, you mentioned the position of Grand Commander today..." Gu Qingyue said with a serious expression, "After careful consideration, I still feel that this position was prepared for me."

"It's safe to say, who else but me!"

"But those four little bitches are constantly fighting over it, which infuriates me. After much thought, I've realized that only General Zhang Shi is worthy of my assistance!"

"General Zhang Shi, please help me ascend to the position of Grand Commander. Once I become Grand Commander, I can properly manage the all-female army. This way, we will have a greater advantage when facing Ren Tianye in the future."

"Look..."

"Is this okay?"

Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Lord Gu Qingyue, what you said really hit the nail on the head. Of the five commanders of the entire female army, I, Zhang Shi, only recognize you. Only you can become the commander of the entire female army."

"Only you can lead them to defeat Ren Tianye. Putting everything else aside, for this reason alone, I must support you as the commander-in-chief of the entire female army."

Gu Qingyue was overjoyed. She hadn't expected Zhang Shi to be so understanding and able to recognize her importance at a glance. She immediately thanked him and made a series of promises.

Then he said, "General Zhang Shi, this matter is confidential. I urge you to keep it to yourself and never tell anyone else."

Gu Qingyue left only after Zhang Shi agreed.

"Wow, amazing!" Looking at Gu Qingyue's retreating figure, Zhang Shi couldn't help but exclaim, "Out of five people, four of them want to secretly ally with me, hoping I'll help them ascend to the throne of Grand Commander!"

"Ha, I thought this plan might be useful, but I never imagined it would be this useful."

"At this rate, even if I don't mention the position of president, they'll still start fighting amongst themselves."

"But what can I do? I was in such a hurry!"

Zhang Shi smiled, looking relaxed and at ease, completely unlike when he was in the northern frontier, always tense before fighting the barbarians, and even unable to sleep for nights on end.

Fighting this all-female army will be much easier.

I felt refreshed and invigorated.

With these feelings in mind, Zhang Shi leisurely descended from the mountainside, his pace neither fast nor slow, even taking the time to appreciate the scenery of this desolate mountain in the night, which was quite charming.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, he casually whistled, and a rustling sound immediately came from afar. The jade lion that the Duke had given him, which seemed to understand human nature, galloped over with its four hooves flying.

Upon reaching them, the Jade Lion didn't even stop. Zhang Shi grabbed the reins and, with an extremely graceful movement, mounted the horse, looking incredibly dashing.

However, after rushing a few steps, he saw a woman who was not tall but very graceful and slender waving at him from the side of the road, with a rather anxious look on her face.

"It seems so..."

"A child with Down syndrome!"

"No way?" Zhang Shi was stunned. "I was already thinking that it was pretty outrageous that four out of five people had been contacting me privately, but it turns out..."

"They all have to contact me privately!"

"Most importantly, this Down syndrome baby is someone I've truly never met before, and he's been so proactive?"

Zhang Shi slightly lifted the reins, and the Jade Lion, as if it were very intelligent, slowly stopped and came to a stop in front of Tang Baobao.

"Miss Tang Baobao..." Zhang Shi, still on horseback, cupped his hands in greeting and said, "What are you doing here? Didn't you go back with the main group?"

Tang Baobao was very polite: "General Zhang Shi, um... I want to talk to you about something."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I want to be the Grand Commander, and I'd like to ask General Zhang Shi for your help!"

Zhang Shi: "..."

Okay, okay, they're all here!

"General Zhang Shi, you have to help me! Those four bitches are utterly incapable of being the commander-in-chief. Only I am qualified for the position!"

"After all, my husband is the garrison commander of Zijin Pass. If I become the Grand Commander, the troops of Zijin Pass can also come to help fight Ren Tianye. In this way, our all-female army will have assistance, so..."

"Only I can be the Grand Commander!"

"I have a huge advantage over those four!"

"and……"

At this point, a smile crept onto Tang Baobao's lips.

The smile held a hint of mystery as he said, "General Zhang Shi, those four wretches, though not very bright and incompetent, are all quite pretty."

"General Zhang Shi, if you agree to help me become the Grand Commander, I'll give you one as your maid, who will take care of you day and night!"
