Ren Tianye's happy appearance stunned Aunt Xiao.

She had originally expected that once Ren Tianye realized no one was following him, he would be terrified and make way for her, and would apologize to her respectfully.

After all, with no one behind her, it would be pointless for her to hit Ren Tianye.

But why is Ren Tianye laughing so happily?

Moreover, they showed absolutely no intention of making way.

Frustrated and worried about the young man's injuries, Ren Tianye knew he couldn't afford to delay. Without further ado, he coldly ordered, "Ren Tianye, get off your horse."

"Armored soldiers, tie him up."

"Guards, give him thirty lashes first."

Everyone obeyed the order, and the four armored soldiers immediately walked towards Li Yunfei. Then, a cold halberd light suddenly shone.

In the blink of an eye, two bowl-sized human heads flew down.

The two armored soldiers were lying dead in the field.

Before Aunt Xiao could react, she saw Li Yunfei cut down two armored soldiers with one halberd, and without pausing, smash the third armored soldier into pieces with a powerful blow.

The fourth armored soldier didn't fare much better.

Using the momentum, Li Yunfei swept his halberd across again, knocking him in the waist and sending him flying into a tree. He coughed up blood, clearly indicating that he, not being the main character, was beyond saving.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, almost instantly, with Ren Tianye making the first move, his intention to launch a sneak attack being extremely obvious.

This made Aunt Xiao scream instantly.

"Ren Tianye, how dare you disobey my orders?"

As she shouted these words, Ren Tianye had already charged over with his horse. By the time she finished speaking, the two maids closest to Ren Tianye had each been struck by a halberd.

Aunt Xiao brought eight maids with her on this trip. In addition to taking care of her daily life, they were also responsible for protecting her.

These eight maids were all skilled in martial arts.

Everyone is a skilled swordsman.

But unfortunately...

Ren Tianye's martial arts skills have reached the level of a top-tier warrior!

In the face of a top-tier male warrior, no matter how skilled a woman is in martial arts, it's all for naught.

After all, women are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and the martial arts they practice can only focus on lightness and agility, making it impossible for them to go head-to-head with men.

Once the weapons collide, the force alone can instantly rupture their tiger's mouth and render them incapacitated.

Therefore, the two maids who had just taken a hit from Ren Tianye's halberd were both smashed into a bloody pulp by the overwhelming force of Ren Tianye's attack.

Ren Tianye slew four people in succession, but he did not stop at all. He wielded his halberd as if he were a god of war, killing almost one person with each strike.

Several maids tried to use their agility to evade and find an opening in Ren Tianye's defenses, but Ren Tianye would not give them that opportunity.

Didn't you want to hide?

Alright, let's head straight for Aunt Xiao!

You can hide, but Aunt Xiao can't hide at all!

Therefore, in order to protect Aunt Xiao, the maid had no choice but to rush over again, stand in front of Ren Tianye, and receive Ren Tianye's powerful and domineering halberd.

One by one, they either coughed up blood or were flattened on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, all four armored soldiers and eight maids perished under Ren Tianye's halberd.

Only Aunt Xiao and the young man from the Li family remained inside the carriage.

With a flourish of his halberd, pointing it directly at someone, Ren Tianye smiled broadly: "So, Aunt Xiao, you didn't have anyone following you!"

"Nobody's with you, and you still dare to be so arrogant?!"

Aunt Xiao was trembling with fear, and she tried her best to say, "Ren Tianye, you, you, you dare to kill an official of the imperial court."

"Are you trying to rebel?"

"Aren't you afraid of implicating the Duke of Ren's family?"

"Aren't you afraid of implicating your entire family?"

"Aren't you afraid of implicating your family and friends?"

Ren Tianye's smile grew even brighter: "Aunt Xiao, didn't you say that no one saw it and no one could testify?"

Aunt Xiao paused!

Ren Tianye immediately put on a serious face and said, "As a border soldier, I, Ren Tianye, am dedicated to protecting the land of Dayu, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How could I possibly rebel?"

"It's just a pity that you, Aunt Xiao, were blind and mistakenly trusted those barbarian tribesmen with wolfish ambitions."

As he spoke, he brandished his halberd, the tip aimed directly at the young man from the Li family, and coldly shouted, "Barbarians are indeed vicious!"

"You were seriously injured, and Aunt Xiao, seeing you were young, kindly saved you. Yet you repaid kindness with enmity, poisoning them when they weren't looking!"

"They even set fire to the convoy in an attempt to destroy the evidence."

"Fortunately, I discovered you, otherwise you would have been caught in a trap."

"It's just a pity that Aunt Xiao, who was loyal and devoted to His Majesty, fell victim to your cruelty. This general...is deeply saddened!"

The young man from the Li family was completely pale, without a trace of color. Even the rosy face of Aunt Xiao, this beautiful woman, had lost its color.

His eyes could hardly conceal his terror.

Ren Tianye had even planned out how she would die; he was clearly prepared to destroy the evidence!

Does he really dare to kill himself?

Aunt Xiao had no time to think any further, because the halberd's light shone again.

As the halberd's light dimmed further, a large, beautiful head rolled off.

Aunt Xiao is dead!

But at that very moment, the dying Li family youth leaped out of the carriage, snatched a warhorse, and was about to gallop away.

This time, even if he has the potential to be a protagonist, Ren Tianye will not give him any more chances.

He hurled his halberd with all his might, smashing it down on the young man from the Li family with its immense weight. At the same time, the sharp tip of the halberd pierced into the young man's back.

"Pfft!"

The young man from the Li family fell off his horse.

Ren Tianye also jumped off his horse and approached to investigate.

Although, logically speaking, the young man from the Li family should definitely be dead beyond any doubt, this female-oriented website doesn't follow the rules.

They were on the verge of death, yet they still managed to jump out of the carriage. Does that even make sense?

Therefore, we must be careful.

Before inspecting the body, he picked up a knife and, upon getting close, chopped off the head with a single blow.

Ren Tianye was finally relieved.

Even if your heart is on the sole of your foot, you're still completely dead if you lose your head, right?

"call!"

After doing all this, I let out a long sigh of relief.

I just felt that this day was too difficult. I was only trying to save the people of Dayu, but I didn't expect so many things to happen.

I've encountered one outrageous person after another.

Surgery was performed again and again.

Fortunately, the matter is finally over.

No, it's not over yet!

They haven't even disposed of the body yet!

Ren Tianye dared not delay.

In this outrageous female-oriented online community, any carelessness could lead to outrageous events, so he'd better be careful.

Prepare fire-starting materials immediately.

After that, they started searching everyone's bodies to see if they had anything, and then... they found a turquoise ornament on the young man from the Li family!

Turquoise ornaments were commonly worn by barbarian nobles, and given the Li family's history of transporting tea to the barbarians, it's not surprising that they possessed such items.

But the unique design of the turquoise ornament made Ren Tianye frown.

"This... seems to be a gift from the barbarian prince."

Ren Tianye pondered the various intelligence gathered in the army, quickly comparing them in his mind, and became increasingly certain that it was indeed a gift from the barbarian prince to his subordinates.

"So, the Li family actually has a very close relationship with the eldest prince?"

"That doesn't make sense..."

Ren Tianye was somewhat confused.

The barbarian prince was the designated successor of the barbarian tribe. He commanded the largest cavalry force besides the Great Khan and was the most powerful person in the barbarian tribe.

The fact that this young man from the Li family received a turquoise ornament as a reward from him clearly indicates that he has a close relationship with the eldest prince.

Moreover, the fact that the young man from the Li family once shouted that he wanted to go and seek refuge with the barbarian prince also proves this point.

Can……

The Li family were clearly the eldest prince's people, yet they were being hunted and attacked by barbarians?

"Are there internal strife among the barbarians?"

"Or is there something else fishy going on?"

Ren Tianye felt that this matter was of great importance and that he would have to handle it carefully when he returned. If necessary, he would also need to report to the Chifeng Army.

He put the turquoise ornament into his pocket.

They also searched other places, mainly Aunt Xiao.

After all, it was highly likely that Aunt Xiao was carrying an imperial edict.

As Ren Tianye had predicted, he did indeed find an imperial edict. Upon opening it, his expression changed drastically.

"Empress, are you going to annihilate the Crimson Beacon Army?"
