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

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming stood up in surprise.

Yes, the ringleader Ye Tiancheng hasn't been killed yet.

It seems that the mole in Sifang City is quite shrewd, knowing to save the biggest credit for him; otherwise, this time they would have truly returned empty-handed.

He immediately said, "Hurry, hurry, go to the city lord's mansion right now!"

With Zhu Gui, the grain transport commissioner, leading the way, Wang Ming led his men to rush towards the city lord's mansion. Before long, they saw an army emerging from the north.

The two met at the street corner.

"General Zhang Shi, you're here so quickly?"

"Hey, Wang Ming, you're not slow either!"

Wang Ming and Zhang Shi greeted each other and then said nothing more before each leading their troops away. However, their expressions had changed.

Their expressions were increasingly anxious.

"Quickly, quickly, everyone run, run!"

"Send word: the cavalry will go first, and the infantry will follow."

"Damn it, Zhang Shi, do you have no shame? You're willing to show no mercy just to steal credit, huh? Men, let's go with the cavalry first, and then we'll deal with the infantry."

……

The two groups of people were running faster than each other.

A campaign to conquer cities and seize territory has been turned into a race.

They arrived almost simultaneously.

Each person took a different direction and surrounded the city lord's mansion.

Zhang Shi and Wang Ming were about to lead their men to the city lord's mansion.

As a result, just as the two reached the door, the door suddenly burst open, and a group of people covered in blood poured out.

Upon seeing Zhang Shi and Wang Ming, especially their equipment, they were initially stunned, then immediately knelt down with a series of thuds.

"General, we have severed Ye Tiancheng's head. We hope you will accept it with a smile!"

Zhang Shi: "..."

Wang Ming: "..."

Seriously? Is it that hard to make a name for yourself?

Having no other choice, the two men helped up each of the people who had pledged allegiance to them, examined them, and confirmed, after identification, that it was Ye Tiancheng's head.

Now, the ringleader of the villains in Sifang City has been executed, the third young master of the Li family is dead, the greatest merit has vanished without a trace, and what remains are just bits and pieces.

This caused Zhang Shi and Wang Ming great sorrow.

They came full of enthusiasm, but ended up becoming a backdrop for others.

"Oh right, there are two more people."

Wang Ming reacted faster and immediately said, "Ye Fan, Su Xiu!"

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up.

Su Xiu naturally understood that Ye Fan was actually rather confused. To this day, he still couldn't figure out why General Ren Tianye was so desperate to kill him.

However, if these two hadn't died, he would have had a chance to make a name for himself. In any case, he had come in such a grand manner that he absolutely couldn't leave empty-handed.

He immediately said, "I'll go kill Ye Fan!"

"Last time in Yunji City, Ye Fan escaped from my grasp. This time, no matter what, I will tear him to pieces."

Wang Ming had no objection and nodded, saying, "Then I'll go kill Su Xiu!"

As he spoke, Wang Ming's eyes sharpened.

Back in Yunji City, he was one of the first to participate in the marriage of Su Xiu and the General. He traveled back and forth, and just when things seemed to be going well and everyone was happy, one problem after another arose.

In the end, all their efforts were in vain.

His comrades in the army often laughed at him for this.

He was tasked with handling matters for the general, but the task was handled terribly.

He is someone who doesn't want to easily start killing, but he's not someone who won't decisively start killing.

So, they searched the city lord's mansion and quickly got the news. They broke into a boudoir and found Su Xiu tied to the bed with her hands and feet bound together.

This woman, who once dared to be arrogant and domineering even in front of a great general, is now extremely pathetic, like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Wang Ming, General Wang Ming?"

To Wang Ming's surprise, Su Xiu saw him as if she had seen a savior: "Please save me, save me, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"I know I was wrong."

"I don't want to stay in the Four Directions City anymore."

"Please, please save me and take me back to Cloud Ridge City!"

"I agree to marry the general."

"I don't want the betrothal gifts anymore."

"We're not setting any rules for the general anymore."

"After marriage, I will definitely uphold the virtues of a wife and not bring shame to the General."

Su Xiu's tears flowed freely, her appearance was pitiful.

Every word and phrase was sincere and earnest.

Wang Ming's expression remained unchanged, cold and expressionless, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Too late!"

"It was too late from the moment you falsely accused the general of stealing your maid's hairpin."

Wang Ming spoke casually as he walked up to Su Xiu.

With a swift stroke, the knife fell, and amidst Su Xiu's screams, her head rolled to the ground.

He wiped the blood off the knife, turned around, and showed no intention of collecting Su Xiu's body or taking her head as a reward.

He was most deeply involved in the marriage alliance between the Su family and the General, and personally witnessed Su Hong and Su Jin of the Su family working tirelessly on it, watching Su Hong's hair turn almost white overnight.

He had a rather favorable impression of Su Hong and Su Jin.

Both of them usually respected him very much.

He also knew that the general did not intend to wipe out the Su family, so there was no need to make the killing of Su Xiu public.

Otherwise, this resentment will persist forever.

Perhaps the Su family doesn't mind, but the General can't be sure whether the Su family does or not.

Then let everything return to dust.

He took the torch from the guard and threw it on the ground. Soon, a huge fire raged in the room, which was filled with wood. The fire crackled and popped, gradually engulfing Su Xiu's body.

Wang Ming stepped out, his cold gaze sweeping over his personal guards: "Su Xiu perished in the fire at the City Lord's Mansion. This is a settled matter, and it must not be spread. Do you understand?"

The guards readily agreed.

Wang Mingcai turned and left with his men to clean up the mess in Sifang City.

Meanwhile, Zhang Shi was chasing Ye Fan, but he encountered a completely different situation than Wang Ming. No matter how many people he asked and how many tricks he used, Ye Fan seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Without a trace.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe he can escape from this inescapable net! Keep searching!"

Zhang Shi was furious and became even more ruthless.

If Ye Fan escapes again this time, he will have no face to see the General, nor will he have any face to return to Yunji City.

"Report!"

Just then, a messenger came running in almost frantic fashion: "General Zhang Shi, something terrible has happened!"

"Our Yunji City has been attacked by barbarians. General Sun Xiang sent me to deliver this message."

"What?" Zhang Shi was shocked.

The general had long anticipated that Yunji City might be attacked by the barbarians, but when it actually happened, Zhang Shi was also filled with panic.

Yunji City is their root, and they cannot afford to lose it.

He quickly asked, "Have you informed the General?"

"No, I couldn't find the General, so I had to come and report to you first."

Zhang Shi calmed himself and immediately summoned more than ten of his personal guards: "Go find the General immediately and report this matter. We must not allow any mistakes!"

"The rest of you, go find Wang Ming and tell him about this. Now is not the time to compete for credit; we must be united and work together to overcome this challenge!"
