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

Outside Yunji City.

Ye Fan and Su Xiu, leading twenty unarmored soldiers, were running swiftly, their speed like the wind.

We are getting further and further away from Yunji City.

Looking back, the lights of Yunji City gradually dimmed, enveloped and covered by the thick night, hidden in this vast world.

Having escaped with her life, Su Xiu still felt that everything was like a dream.

She thought she was doomed, but now...

We're out of the city?!

It can still run?

That's incredible!

"Brother Ye Fan..." Su Xiu had learned horseback riding. After all, among the wealthy young ladies of Yunji City, there was often a sport like polo. Su Xiu wasn't very good at it, but she could still ride.

In a situation like this, saving your life is of course the most important thing.

The horse beneath her was whipped into a galloping gallop.

Walking alongside Ye Fan, her eyes were full of admiration: "Brother Ye Fan, you are really amazing! I never imagined that I could run out so smoothly."

He spoke with lingering fear in his eyes.

After all, when they left the city, Yunji City was already in chaos, with lights lighting up one after another, soldiers standing in formation, and the entire city being searched.

But they still came out!

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan smiled slightly, his demeanor elegant and his face full of confidence: "It's just a trivial matter. In my life, have I ever made a mistake?"

"I said Ren Tianye would surround the Su residence, and he definitely will!"

"I said Ren Tianye would impose martial law throughout the city, and he definitely will."

"I told him Ren Tianye would intensify his search efforts, and he definitely will!"

"I told you that Ren Tianye would go to great lengths; as soon as he hears of our whereabouts, he will definitely lead a large army here. He will definitely bring a large army!"

Under the cover of night, Ye Fan appeared confident and composed.

But Su Xiu was extremely convinced.

Because what Ye Fan said has basically come true.

Ye Fan was indeed able to make accurate judgments.

only……

Ye Fan's last point, that Ren Tianye would lead his army to pursue them, made Su Xiu somewhat worried. After all, having dealt with Ren Tianye before, she was genuinely afraid of him.

She asked, "Brother Ye Fan, what if Ren Tianye comes after us?"

"With just twenty of us, I'm afraid we can't stop him."

These twenty men had been lying in ambush outside Yunji City, waiting for them to emerge. As soon as they came out, they provided them with horses, followed them, and provided protection.

How could twenty men possibly withstand Ren Tianye's tens of thousands of soldiers?!

"It's alright!" Ye Fan's face remained calm and composed. "Not far from here, there is a small town called Riding the Ox Town, which is already under my master's control."

"We'll be there soon. With Master's help, what can little Ren Tianye do to me?"

Riding Bull Town?

This town is not far from Yunji City, only half a day's ride away, so Su Xiu knew about it, but she was even more worried and said, "Brother Ye Fan, as far as I know, Qi Niu Town is just a small town, it doesn't even have city walls."

"Are you hiding a lot of soldiers there?"

"Otherwise, how could we possibly withstand Ren Tianye's tens of thousands of elite troops?"

"Hahaha..." Ye Fan laughed loudly, extremely proud: "Sister Xiu'er, you don't know this, how could I fight a battle unprepared?"

"Who is my master?!"

"He alone is worth a hundred thousand soldiers!"

"With him here, Riding Bull Town is safe and sound!"

Then, deliberately slowing down the horse's pace, she leaned closer to Su Xiu and said in a very low voice, "Moreover, Riding Ox Town is not the dilapidated town it appears to be on the surface."

"I have already ordered people to stockpile 800,000 shi of military rations there!"

Su Xiu's eyes widened.

After all, being born into a merchant family, she was quite sensitive to these numbers.

She remembered clearly that when her second uncle said he was preparing a dowry for her, the first batch of dowry given to Ren Tianye included 50,000 shi of grain.

Her second uncle, Su Hong, proudly said that with these 50,000 shi of grain, it would be enough to supply the Yunji City army for three months.

But Brother Ye Fan has stockpiled 800,000 shi of grain!

Eight hundred thousand shi!

That should be enough for 10,000 elite troops, enough for more than three years!

only……

Su Xiu asked doubtfully, "Brother Ye Fan, why are so many grains and fodder stockpiled in a small place like Qi Niu Town? What if someone sets their sights on them?"

"That's 800,000 shi of grain after all?"

Su Xiu has now subconsciously taken on the role of Ye Fan's wife and has begun to worry about Ye Fan in every way.

But Ye Fan...

His smile widened, his confidence seemingly piercing the darkness of the night, as he said, "Sister Xiu'er, this... is precisely where the brilliance lies!"

"Just imagine, who would have thought that such an inconspicuous place would have stored up 800,000 shi of grain?"

Could Ren Tianye have imagined this?

Could the imperial court have foreseen this?

"Could it be that the barbarians could have come up with this?"

"I, Ye Fan, am all about playing the game of hiding things under the lamp."

"In the most unexpected place, a large amount of grain and fodder is stockpiled. If there is any turmoil in the northern frontier in the future, these 800,000 shi of grain and fodder can be transformed into 100,000 elite soldiers."

"At that time, the war situation will be completely rewritten because of these 800,000 shi of grain."

Su Xiu was immediately filled with admiration. She realized there were so many intricacies involved. Her gaze towards Ye Fan softened, and her usually aloof and noble demeanor softened to a gentle, tender one.

"Brother Ye Fan, you're amazing!"

"It is truly Xiu'er's blessing that she can marry you."

"Hahaha..." Ye Fan was also very proud. He had been a shrewd strategist for half his life and regarded the heroes of the world as playthings, but the one he cherished most was the number one beauty in the Northern Frontier in front of him.

How could I not feel great to have such a beautiful woman admire me?

He said loudly, "Sister Xiu'er, don't worry."

"With me, Ye Fan, here, our future will be far better than you can imagine!"

Then he spurred his horse and rode quickly toward Qi Niu Town!

……

Inside Yun Crest City.

Ren Tianye waited for news all night long.

"Report, report..."

Two hours ago, the scouts sent out returned: "General, there is a group of twenty-two people riding horses and fleeing quickly outside the city. They are suspected to be Ye Fan and Su Xiu's group."

"Impossible!" Before Ren Tianye could speak, Sun Xiang, who had returned to report the situation, exclaimed, "Yunji City is heavily guarded; not even a fly could get in. Ye Fan doesn't have three heads and six arms; how could he possibly get out?"

"Besides, he brought someone with him?"

"If you dare to lie about your military achievements, I'll chop you up!"

Ren Tianye raised his hand to stop Sun Xiang's actions, his face calm and composed. After all, he had expected this to happen.

If he could be captured so easily in Yunji City, Ye Fan wouldn't be called "Ye Fan" anymore.

He said to the scout, "Continue to investigate."

"Remember, just like before, confirm his whereabouts from a distance, and don't let him out of your sight. There's no need to get close. If possible, try to avoid letting him notice you!"

"Yes!" The scout left.

Sun Xiang became even more anxious: "General, that's impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible!" Ren Tianye interrupted, "Go to Yunji City right now and search the city walls carefully. Check for any oversights or signs of departure. Confirm for me whether Ye Fan has actually left or not!"
