With everything explained, the army was ready to set off.

However, everyone around was puzzled, wondering why Ye Fan was worth such a big commotion by Ren Tianye, to the point that he even abandoned Yunji City to go out and hunt him down.

Only Ren Tianye himself understands.

Yunji City will not be lost. Even if it is lost, he will have a chance to make a comeback. But if Ye Fan escapes and comes back for revenge after a while, he will be in big trouble.

After all, this kind of person can cause a river to thaw or a meteorite to fall from the sky at any time; they are simply unreasonable.

Soon, the army was assembled.

Just as they were about to set off, Su Jin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and knelt down in front of Ren Tianye's horse with a "thud": "General, my second sister has committed such a grave mistake, and our Su family cannot escape the blame."

"I hope the General can give our Su family a chance and allow me to go with him to find my second sister."

Su Jin spoke earnestly.

Ren Tianye frowned slightly.

A large army doesn't easily bring women on a march, especially since this is a forced march. However... this involves Ye Fan!

What if Ye Fan runs away?

What if we run to a place where he can't catch us?

If Su Jin were here, she might be able to find Su embroidery, which would give her more options.

He then said, "Wang Ming!"

"Your subordinate is here."

"You are to lead one hundred men and travel with Su Jin. You are free to move around, but you must stay near the main army. If you discover any trace of Ye Fan or Su Xiu, you must report back immediately."

"yes!"

After giving his instructions, Ren Tianye waved his hand dismissively.

The army of over three thousand men immediately marched out of Yunji City and headed straight for Qiniu Town!

……

As the bright light shone and a touch of red appeared on the horizon, Ye Fan and his group saw Qi Niu Town, and a smile appeared on Su Xiu's face.

Once they reach Riding the Ox Town, will they be safe?

With her brother Ye Fan and his master by her side, they were finally safe and sound.

Looking up, they saw that people were already coming to meet them in the distance, but it wasn't just a few hundred people like before; there were thousands of them, densely packed together.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see.

A look of astonishment appeared on Su Xiu's face.

Those thousands of men were all burly, strong men, clearly not to be trifled with; they seemed more like well-trained soldiers.

"Brother Ye Fan, why are there so many people?"

"Hahaha..." Ye Fan laughed loudly: "These are the three thousand soldiers I have stockpiled in Qi Niu Town. They were all personally trained by my master and are all elites."

"They are in no way inferior to the previous Crimson Beacon Army!"

Three thousand soldiers?

Su Xiu was somewhat shocked.

After being beaten in Yunji City, she gradually developed a concept of heavy military force, realizing that if she had soldiers under her command, she could act with impunity like Ren Tianye.

However, she did not expect that her brother Ye Fan also had a large army amassed in Qi Niu Town!

Three thousand people!

They are all elites.

only……

Upon closer inspection, however, they were somewhat surprised: "Brother Ye Fan, why aren't they wearing armor and weapons?"

"Shouldn't soldiers be clad in heavy armor and wielding long weapons?"

This is the stereotype of Suzhou embroidery.

The image of the soldiers of Yunji City will be used as a standard for evaluating all soldiers.

But faced with this question, Ye Fan couldn't suppress his smile any longer: "Sister Xiu'er, this is precisely where my brilliance lies."

"Qiniu Town has three thousand soldiers, but they haven't been issued any weapons or armor. Their training consists of moving goods and organizing granaries. In this way, the eight hundred thousand shi of grain that I've hidden in Qiniu Town can be even more easily concealed!"

Su Xiu's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed admiringly, "Brother Ye Fan, you're so amazing!"

Ye Fan smiled but didn't reply.

But the expression on his face already revealed his smugness.

After walking a few more steps, a man who had left the group and walked over from a distance came over first. He was an old man with white hair and beard, and his face was full of wrinkles, but he was very energetic and his eyes were like lightning. He was also carrying a pair of heavy-looking golden hammers.

"He's my master, Xiang Gui!"

After whispering a reminder, Ye Fan led Su Xiu to greet them.

"Master, how could I trouble you to come and pick me up in person?"

Xiang Gui rolled his eyes at Ye Fan: "Hmph, you secretly went to that dangerous place, Yunji City, behind my back. How can I feel at ease?"

"If you haven't returned by today, I'll storm into Yunji City. I'd like to ask the city's garrison commander how many of them have the guts to stop my disciple?"

"Is he tired of living?"

"Or is it that his entire family is tired of living?"

Ye Fan quickly smiled apologetically, "Master, look, I'm fine, aren't I? Besides..."

"I also rescued Xiu'er."

"Xiu'er, quickly call your master."

Facing Ye Fan's master, Su Xiu felt a surge of nervousness, much like a new bride meeting her husband's elders. She was quite shy, but she still managed to suppress her emotions and present herself with a poised and graceful demeanor.

"Xiu'er greets Master."

"So you're Su Xiu?" Xiang Gui's face was expressionless, rather cold: "You do have some beauty, no wonder my apprentice is infatuated with you."

"Master, you flatter me. Xiu'er is just a plain girl. It is Xiu'er's good fortune to be favored by Brother Ye Fan."

"At least he has some self-awareness, knowing he's not good enough for my apprentice!" Xiang Gui said, moving closer to Su Xiu.

Just as Su Xiu was wondering what Xiang Gui was going to do, she saw a hand reach out, and then...

A loud "crack!"

It slapped straight onto Su Xiu's face.

Su Xiu stumbled and was slapped so hard she fell off her horse. Her face stung with pain, and she was completely dumbfounded.

She covered her face with her hands, tears welling in her eyes, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Master, you, you..."

"Hmph! You slut! You seduced my disciple, putting him in danger for your sake. What kind of person are you?"

"You dare to put my disciple under such risk?"

"He's a million times more important than a single hair on his head than you, you know that?"

Still seemingly unable to calm down, Xiang Gui's chest heaved as he angrily rebuked, "My disciple's life is more precious than heaven and earth. Fortunately, nothing went wrong today."

"Otherwise, you, your Su family, the entire Yunji City, and even the entire Northern Frontier, will all be buried with my disciple!"

The sound was as loud as thunder, echoing for three thousand miles.

Zhen Suxiu's mind went blank.

Ye Fan quickly dismounted and gently comforted Su Xiu, saying, "Xiu'er, don't be offended. I am my master's man, and he cannot allow me to suffer even the slightest injury, which is why he did this."

Don't take it to heart.

"After I talk to him properly, I believe my master won't make things difficult for me. After all, he dotes on me, and he will definitely agree to whatever I want to do as long as I plead with him."

Su Xiu sobbed without answering, feeling a surge of injustice welling up inside her, like a raging river that she could not shake off.

She was pampered from a young age, raised like a precious gem, and never suffered the slightest grievance. When her father was alive, she couldn't bear to hurt him, and after his death, her second uncle also doted on her.

But in just a few days, she was first hung on the city wall by Ren Tianye, like a prostitute, for the whole city to see, and she was already disheartened.

She had finally met her beloved Ye Fan, and they should have been deeply in love and stayed together for life. However, after meeting Ye Fan's master, he gave her a huge gift as soon as they met.

The slap was powerful and heavy, and in an instant, pain spread throughout her body, making her even have the urge to die for a moment!

But what exactly did she do wrong?

All she wanted was love, so why did fate play such a cruel trick on her, refusing to grant her peace and stability?
