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

Ren Tianye was also feeling quite turbulent at this moment.

I never imagined that the Duke of Ren's mansion would have such a great influence in the Northern Frontier.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

She quickly grabbed Wang Hai's hand: "You've all worked so hard. By the way, how are my father and clansmen?"

Wang Hai's eyes darkened: "After the Empress learned that you had rebelled in the Northern Frontier, she ordered you to commit suicide, but you refused. So she ordered the extermination of the entire Duke Ren's family."

"Currently, only the Duke of Ren's mansion and your brother, General, are temporarily imprisoned due to the ministers' pleas, but their lives are also in grave danger."

"General Ren, you must save them!"

"Otherwise, you would be the only heir left in your Duke Ren's mansion."

Ren Tianye's face immediately filled with sorrow and pain.

But I felt a little annoyed.

Damn, there are two more?

They thought they could completely wipe out the ten clans of the Duke of Ren's family!

The result was that the two most important ones remained.

He immediately said, "Rest assured, everyone. I am the heir of the Duke of Ren's family. I have already received a secret letter from my father, ordering me to reorganize the army, stage a military coup against the Empress, and restore peace and order to the world."

"How could I, a general, fail to live up to my father's painstaking efforts in cultivating his talents?"

"We will certainly prepare our troops, and soon we will march into the capital to let His Majesty know that our Duke Ren's family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and we will not betray it!"

Wang Hai and the people behind him were all stunned when they heard this.

Wang Hai murmured, "General Ren, if you were to stage a coup in the capital, I'm afraid His Majesty would immediately take action against Duke Ren and your brother."

"Isn't this harming them?"

Ren Tianye immediately retorted righteously, "That is absurd! What kind of person is my father? Would he care about the lives of a mere family?"

"What he wants is a bright and clear world, a stable Great Yu dynasty, and the northern barbarians never daring to invade the border."

"He is loyal, brave, and righteous. He used his life to bewitch the Empress, which gave me the opportunity to develop. How can I betray him?"

"We must slaughter everyone in the capital and collect his corpse!"

These words left everyone stunned.

Things didn't seem to go as planned, but after listening to Ren Tianye's explanation, it seemed to be a scheme that Duke Ren had devised long ago, so he accepted it.

After all, their relationship with the Duke of Ren's mansion had long since faded.

The Duke of Ren's family has been passed down through generations. These people's ancestors had received favors from the Duke of Ren's family long ago. In addition, the Duke of Ren's family still has a high prestige in the army, which is why they came to serve the descendants of the Duke of Ren.

If that's what Duke Ren instructed, they would just follow it without much objection. However, Ren Tianye's behavior just now still raised some suspicions.

He then asked, "General Ren, do you dare to swear an oath?!"

"Of course!" Ren Tianye knelt down in the direction of Kyoto without hesitation and said loudly, "Father, you once said that you were willing to give up ten years of your life in exchange for your son starting a rebellion in the Northern Frontier. Your son has done it."

"Father, you once said that you were willing to use your crippled body to stop the Empress's absurdity. Although you did not do it, your son will do it for you."

"Father, you once said that you were willing to sacrifice the lives of your entire clan in exchange for your son's victory in the capital, to change the world and restore peace and order. I know your heart for the people of the world, and I will certainly do it!"

As he spoke, a few tears welled up in Ren Tianye's eyes: "I beg Heaven to have mercy and grant my father's wish!"

Then he stood up and said, "My father was loyal and brave. I will carry on his dying wish, stage a military coup against the Empress, and restore order to our land!"

Everyone then quickly bowed and greeted him: "Lord Duke, you are loyal and brave; General Ren, you are valiant and martial!"

After reassuring these people, Ren Tianye immediately sent someone to escort them to Yunji City, saying, "You go first. This general is currently pursuing a heinous criminal and dares not delay."

"I will speak with you all again when I return to Yunji City."

Ren Tianye was about to leave after he finished speaking.

After all, Ye Fan was a major threat, so we dared not be careless in the slightest.

Wang Hai replied, "Who is the person the General is pursuing? We have lived in the Northern Frontier for generations. Although we don't have many troops, we are well-informed and might be able to help the General!"

Ren Tianye paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.

Yes!

Isn't this a ready-made source of information?

Why go to such lengths when you can find something nearby?

It seems that his previous attempts to sever ties with the Duke of Ren's mansion had led him astray. He quickly replied, "That person's name is Ye Fan..."

"Ye Fan? That Ye Fan?"

Before Ren Tianye could even finish speaking, the members of the Northern Frontier families were already excited: "This is someone truly remarkable!"

Ren Tianye felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected Ye Fan to have such a big reputation in the Northern Frontier. But then again, it made sense.

After all, someone who is supposed to be a "protagonist" was an unknown three years ago, so it would be abnormal if he were still an unknown now.

"The Ye family was originally a prominent family in the Northern Frontier, just like us, with equal status. But this Ye Fan was originally just an insignificant member of a collateral branch of the Ye family, yet somehow he suddenly rose to prominence."

"He led the Ye family to make a great name for themselves in a short period of time."

"They have stockpiled a large amount of money, grain, and troops, and have also recruited countless talented people."

"Taking advantage of the fact that the northern border troops had been demobilized and the barbarians had occupied Shanhe City, they seized Sifang City in one fell swoop. With Sifang City as their base, they have already taken on the posture of a powerful ruler!"

"This is already a force to be reckoned with, but what's even more terrifying is that Ye Fan is known for his flawless calculations and unerring accuracy in every prediction, which is truly chilling!"

Ren Tianye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Four-sided city?!

This is considered a fairly important town in the northern border defense line. Since the Ye Fan family is based there, his previous deduction should be correct.

Ye Fan then ran to Sifang City.

This made his pursuit of Ye Fan more complicated. It was no longer a matter of many people chasing few, but rather that he had to conquer Sifang City first.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "What's the situation in Sifang City?"

"Sifang City is a major military stronghold in the northern frontier. It is high and thick-walled, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Li family in the city has also pledged allegiance to Ye Fan. Although the Li family is a powerful family like us, they are much stronger than us."

"Moreover, the Li family has three sons. One is a general who fights on the frontier and constantly expands Ye Fan's territory. The second is a doctor who has miraculous healing skills and has won the hearts of many people. The third is a civil official who is responsible for repairing the city walls and maintaining stability. He is doing a great job and can be regarded as the shield of the four directions of the city."

"They're all not to be trifled with!"

"Moreover, the city of Sifang has a considerable number of troops, all of whom are well-trained and possess formidable combat strength. Under the leadership of the eldest son of the Li family, they are constantly expanding their territory and subduing scattered border troops. I'm afraid..."

"There are now nearly 20,000 soldiers within the Four Directions City!"

Ren Tianye frowned.

Twenty thousand troops!

Normally, it would take 200,000 troops to attack.

But he only has eight hundred men at the moment!

However, Sifang City must be taken, and it must be taken immediately!
