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

Ren Tianye led his men in a chase that lasted a day and a night.

Ye Fan and Su Xiu have vanished without a trace.

This left Ren Tianye feeling quite frustrated.

These eight hundred men were the most elite in Yunji City. They were given priority access to all the best equipment and rode warhorses obtained from the Imperial Guard.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it moves as fast as the wind.

Damn it...

How could they lose track of that?

"Grass!"

"His potential as a protagonist is truly extraordinary!"

Ren Tianye ordered the 800 troops to stop, while he opened a simplified map of the northern frontier and quickly understood it clearly.

The place they were in was far from any village or shop; the nearest city was Sifang City!

"It seems Ye Fan is most likely heading towards Sifang City."

"Otherwise, running around in the wilderness will only hasten death."

Ren Tianye made his judgment.

However, no conclusion was drawn immediately.

For a prodigy like Ye Fan, he should think things through carefully and make sure he doesn't make a mistake.

If he misses this opportunity, Ye Fan might be able to bring an army of 800,000 to attack him next time.

"Report! General, there is a group of men ahead carrying torches, heading straight for us."

Ren Tianye frowned slightly and asked, "How many people?"

"It's not very clear, so I can only make a rough estimate, but there are probably around five thousand people!"

Five thousand people?

"Could this be an ambush planted by Ye Fan?"

Ren Tianye dared not be careless: "Eight Hundred Army, listen to my command, maintain a state of alert!"

He went to the front of the group and saw a fire dragon getting closer and closer. However, as it got closer, he could see that it was not a combat unit.

These people, mostly dressed in cloth armor and carrying weapons, pushed carts full of goods, leaving deep tracks on the road. Their journey was not slow, but it was certainly not fast either.

Ren Tianye didn't know what these people did, let alone whether they were Ye Fan's people.

Without making any rash moves, he had his personal guards shout, "Hey, who goes there? What brings you here?!"

The other side had obviously also spotted Ren Tianye and his group, and was quite nervous. They sent out a middle-aged man in a long robe and fine clothes to reply.

"Gentlemen, we are from a prominent family in the Northern Frontier, and we are here to transport grain and supplies for General Ren Tianye of Yunji City."

"We hope that, for the sake of General Ren Tianye, we can be allowed to pass."

"General Ren Tianye will surely be grateful for everyone's kindness."

Ren Tianye was stunned when he heard this.

He immediately laughed.

Good heavens, he managed to run into a powerful family using his name on his trip.

Judging from their practiced manner, they had obviously used this rhetoric many times before. And these people were well-equipped, acted with composure, and showed no signs of panic... It was clearly very effective!

But thinking about it, it makes sense!

Northern Xinjiang is now in complete chaos.

Or rather, it's developing into a chaotic mess.

The barbarians occupied Shanhe City and held sway over Dayu.

The elite troops of the northern frontier were either killed or disbanded, and countless powerful families and clans either seized the opportunity to rise up or were reduced to mere sheep.

At this very moment, he rose up in rebellion, but instead of immediately announcing it to the world, he captured Yunji City and defeated 70,000 imperial guards at the city's walls.

Seventy thousand pieces of equipment belonging to the Imperial Guards were confiscated.

This matter had already spread throughout the entire northern frontier, and he had already had people exaggerate and publicize it further.

This made it clear to the people of the Northern Frontier that their Yunji City had a strong and well-equipped army, capable of defeating even the mighty Imperial Guard.

It can be said that in the minds of the people of the Northern Frontier, Yunji City is undoubtedly the most powerful force.

This is why Ren Tianye was able to contact those disbanded border troops, which moved them and made them want to join Yunji City.

And now, his tiger flag has been used by someone else.

That's quite a scheme!

However, Ren Tianye wasn't sure if it was a feint by Ye Fan, so he gave instructions to his personal guard. The guard immediately shouted, "You said it was being sent to Yunji City, so it's being sent to Yunji City?"

"We need to examine it carefully."

"Otherwise, all of you will have to stay here today!"

The eight hundred elite soldiers, though not heavily armored warriors, were all imposing and well-equipped. They regarded the five thousand men as nothing more than easy prey and paid them no heed.

But to everyone's surprise, the man in the distance shouted, "Since the officers have made this request, we men naturally dare not disobey."

"But if you soldiers do this, you'll delay General Ren Tianye's business. If General Ren Tianye investigates later, don't blame us for not warning you."

Hey!

Are you scaring yourself?!

It does resemble a plan that Ye Fan came up with!

Ren Tianye said, "Let them come over and talk to me!"

The guards immediately shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Come here right now and let us check carefully."

"Since you insist, sir, we have no choice but to obey!"

After agreeing, several people quickly stepped out from the group of five thousand people. They were all dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. Judging from their attire, they were indeed from aristocratic families!

Upon approaching, the leader introduced himself.

"My name is Wang Hai, a member of the Wang family, and I have received..."

Before he finished speaking, his gaze fell blankly on Ren Tianye.

The general sat on a jade lion and held a halberd. He had a handsome face but sharp eyes, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura.

This is so similar to the information they already knew about Ren Tianye.

He stammered, "You, you're Ren Tianye?"

"You are the heir of the Duke of Ren's family? Ren Tianye?"

Ren Tianye immediately replied coldly, "What is the Duke of Ren's mansion?"

"This general does not recognize you!"

"No, you are a descendant of Duke Ren!" Wang Hai shouted excitedly. "Our ancestors received a great favor from the Duke Ren family, which we have no way to repay. Now that Duke Ren has been imprisoned by the Empress and his fate is unknown, the only one who can save him is General Ren. General Ren, how can you not acknowledge Duke Ren?"

Not only Wang Hai, but also the people behind him shouted.

"The Duke of Ren's mansion has countless protégés and former officials throughout the northern frontier. We have received great favors from the Duke of Ren's mansion in the past. Now that we know of the general's uprising, we have specially joined forces to send four thousand men, grain, and countless weapons. Yet you say you don't know the Duke of Ren? Are you trying to fool us?"

"General Ren, could it be that you were instructed by Duke Ren to only claim that there is a deep-seated hatred between you and the Duke Ren's family? In order to sever ties with the Duke Ren's family and make the Empress show mercy to Duke Ren?"

"So that's how it is, General Ren. You truly are the Duke's filial son. We misunderstood you. However, we are sincerely serving the Duke Ren's mansion. In addition to the troops and weapons we have already brought, we also have a large amount of supplies and have made connections with many forces. As long as General Ren gives the order, we will immediately rise up. Please do not try to fool us!"

……

Ren Tianye, sitting on his horse, was stunned for a moment.

He immediately dismounted, his face full of excitement, and said, "I never expected you to be so clever, that you could see through my thoughts at a glance."

"That's right. This general deliberately severed ties with the Duke of Ren's mansion precisely because he didn't want to implicate them."

"In truth, this general was appointed by my father to reorganize the northern frontier, stage a military coup against the Empress, and restore peace and order to the world!"
