It's about helping you navigate the female-oriented online community, not conquering cities and

Objectively speaking, after Yan Zhihan turned around, what she was thinking was:

I'm angry now! Come and comfort me! And promise me you'll never treat me so roughly again!

But after Lin Kai finished speaking, Yan Zhihan sensed that something was wrong.

blinked.

"Hey! What do you want to do...?"

Yan Zhihan wanted to turn her head to see what tricks Lin Kai was up to.

But that sentence was only half-finished.

"Pfft!"

A large pool of blood spurted from Yan Zhihan's mouth.

The long sword pierced through Yan Zhihan's body from behind, exiting from her chest.

...

【目标つふぬぬ，て&%￥*，%*ほ完成】(Actually: The target character dies, the mission cannot be completed, and it is automatically judged as completed)

【易か经（身形ひつみ韧，能せみぬ出ひふは势，加深つぬのねみ程度）】(Actually: 易体经（身形更加柔力，能自由着不同态，加深つぬのねみ程度））

"You think I'll regret it even when I'm about to die?"

Looking at the pop-up data panel, Lin Kai curled his lip.

I was just about to turn around and leave.

"never mind……"

Lin Kai stopped and turned around.

"Given the typical pattern of female-oriented online novels, there's probably something on this woman, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Kai squatted down.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Kai reached out and touched Yan Zhihan's body.

After several dozen breaths.

"really……"

Lin Kai's eyes flickered as he looked at the account book he had pulled from Yan Zhihan's arms.

"I'd like to see just how you, the richest man in the Southern Barbarian lands, really are..."

Muttering to himself, Lin Kai opened the ledger.

...

As the camp fell silent, only the occasional stench of blood wafted out from the gaps at the exit.

time flies.

It continued until halfway through the Xu hour (7-9 PM).

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Choi Ki, covered in sweat, rushed over.

"I've inquired, and those southern barbarian soldiers said that Yan Zhihan is indeed the richest woman, and rumors say that her ancestors were..."

Looking at the gauze curtain at the exit of the tent, Cui Ji spoke loudly.

However, before Cui Ji could finish speaking...

"I know about the death row inmates who fled to the southern barbarians at the end of the Daqian era."

A detached voice rang out, and then Lin Kai lifted the gauze curtain and stepped out of the tent.

"? How did you know, young master?"

Cui Ji met Lin Kai's gaze and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai curled his lip.

"I also know that Yan Zhihan's Rende Trading Company is spread throughout the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, including grain, armor, warhorses, tea, and salt and iron mines..."

Lin Kai strode forward and spoke without turning his head.

He naturally learned about it from the ledger on Yan Zhihan's person.

Lin Kai was genuinely surprised by the scale; the female-oriented online novel hadn't become stingy at all.

But there was one thing that Lin Kai was very suspicious about.

It's one thing to resell armor and warhorses, but in ancient times, would the imperial court really not care about things like salt and iron ore?

I feel like complaining, but then I think about how Dali still has merchants like Fan Tiefan who hold money...

Lin Kai was no longer surprised.

"what?"

Watching Lin Kai's retreating figure, Cui Ji blinked.

But very quickly.

"It seems that the true owner of this Rende Trading Company is now the young master..."

"Congratulations, young master! With the establishment of Rende Trading Company, you are one step closer to the throne!"

Cui Ji jogged over to Lin Kai's side, turned his head to look at Lin Kai, and spoke with a fawning expression.

Lin Kai remained silent.

The main problem is that he didn't know how to say it.

But Lin Kai ignored him.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Choi Ki scratched his head.

Could it be that the young master is unhappy because I didn't share the good news with him this time?

Thinking of this, Choi Ki frowned.

After a few breaths.

"Young master, I heard some news from those former Nanman soldiers. I don't know if it will be of any use to you."

Cui Ji looked at Lin Kai and spoke seriously.

"What news?"

Meeting Choi Ki's gaze, Lin Kai raised his eyebrows.

"I heard that when Yan Zhihan was young, her family was poor, so her parents forced her to stay in the Yihong Courtyard in the Southern Barbarian Imperial City for a period of time."

"?"

"In the year Yan Zhihan came of age, Sun Mufeng, the second prince of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, came to the Yihong Courtyard after being insulted by a woman, and that's when he met Yan Zhihan..."

"Wait a minute, isn't Yan Zhihan only in her prime (24 years old for women in ancient times)?"

"Yes, because of that night with Sun Mufeng, Yan Zhihan vowed to change herself and make the Second Prince Sun Mufeng look at her with disdain..."

"..."

Lin Kai fell silent.

Liu Bang was 45 years old when he was walking his dog in the village, and 54 years old when he became Emperor Gaozu of Han; you were a 15-year-old prostitute and 24-year-old the richest man in the southern barbarians.

After muttering to myself for several breaths...

"Pass on my orders to Chi Zongyuan..."

Lin Kai leaned close to Cui Ji's ear.

...

Based on Lin Kai's "various" experiences.

This is a common tactic in female-oriented content.

First, the female lead grows through hardship, then she accidentally has physical intimacy with the male lead. Next, the male lead becomes infatuated with the second female lead, so the female lead vows to fight for her own destiny. Of course, the ending is usually that the male lead repents, then kills the corrupted second female lead and embraces the female lead.

Commonly known as the "regretful" genre in female-oriented fiction, it can also be described as a "female protagonist's awakening and satisfying" story.

Although Lin Kai always thought it was ridiculous, he refused to film such roles in his previous life, which resulted in him being an extra for more than 20 years...

But Lin Kai quickly caught a key point.

According to the logic of female-oriented fiction, Yan Zhihan must have a lot of information about Sun Mufeng, right? She probably even knows how many times Sun Mufeng defecated tonight, right?

Perfect timing, Sun Mufeng wants to mess with me, so go Pikachu...

After Lin Kai spoke softly, he turned his head away.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Cui Ji jogged towards the nearby military camp.

"It not only gave me more resources, but also gave me the power to crush the Southern Barbarian prince..."

"Sigh, I really admire Yan Zhihan for single-handedly throwing her life away..."

Looking at Choi Ki's retreating figure, Lin Kai suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Is "The Strictest Father in the Female-Oriented Genre" still going strong...? This siege system is so thoughtful...

I sniffed.

"Clean up the camp."

"Find a coffin for Yan Zhihan's body and set off with the army for Rongyang City tomorrow."

"After arriving in Rongyang City, find someone strong to throw Yan Zhihan's body into the city."

Lin Kai turned to look at the captain standing at the exit of the barracks and said with a smile.

The third use: to take Rongyang City without bloodshed!

...

Since it was Lin Kai who spoke, the soldiers naturally had no objections.

After returning to his command tent, Lin Kai simulated the situation on the sand table for half an hour before falling asleep.

It continued until the next day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, it was still late morning when Lin Kai led his army out.

The terrain was already flat, and Lin Kai had instructed them to speed up.

So when it was almost noon, Lin Kai was able to see the outline of Rongyang City.

"Truly magnificent! No wonder it's known as a granary!"

"The construction of this city wall... thankfully I had the foresight!"

Riding on horseback, Lin Kai looked ahead and nodded in satisfaction from time to time.

This is clearly a barbican design!

Thankfully, they caught Yan Zhihan first...

Thinking about this...

"By order of the general, pull Yan Zhihan's body out of the coffin, then tie it to a catapult and head towards Rongyang City..."

Lin Kai turned his head to look at the messenger next to him.

However, Lin Kai had not finished speaking.

"Young master, something's not right about Rongyang City."

"It's one thing for the city gates to be tightly closed, but why isn't there a single soldier on duty atop the city walls?"

Cui Ji, who was standing next to him, put down the bamboo tube and turned to look at Lin Kai.

Lin Kai: ?

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai turned his head.

Lin Kai's gaze lingered on the tightly closed gates of Rongyang City in the distance for several breaths before he looked away.

After glancing at the city walls of Rongyang City a few times and confirming that Cui Ji was telling the truth,

"That's definitely a bit unusual... Logically speaking, even if female-oriented content doesn't understand tactics, they should still know basic defense and scouting techniques..."

Lin Kai stroked his chin.

What's going on here? The city gates are tightly closed, and there isn't a single soldier on duty on the city walls.

I thought about it.

"Send a team of scouts to Rongyang City to investigate in detail..."

Looking at the captain beside him, Lin Kai waved his hand.

The command was only half-spoken.

"Gentlemen, please pay the toll."

"What Lord Yan said is that this is the Mother Road, and men must pay a toll to walk on it."
