The group of guerrilla generals who were searching for Ren Tianye suddenly grew excited.
The Madam isn't angry anymore? Hahaha, good, good. She finally understands the situation. That was no easy feat.
General Zhang, since the Madam is no longer angry, why haven't you come out to discuss these major matters with us? What are you waiting for?
Quickly, report this to General Zhang. This is a matter of great importance and cannot be delayed.
The maid's single sentence swept away the gloom from the faces of the guerrilla generals. A few of them even nodded secretly in approval.
Although the Madam usually acted out and caused scenes, this time she actually behaved reasonably. She didn't intentionally cause trouble and refuse to let go as she usually did whenever major military matters arose.
Inside the command tent, General Zhang stepped out quickly, clad in his armor.
the smile erupting on his face seemed no less radiant than those of the guerrilla generals. He asked in pleasant surprise, Is it true? Is the Madam really not angry anymore?
Yes, yes... General. The Madam is no longer angry. She even said she knows she was wrong and asks for you to... to go over for a moment.
Really?
General Zhang was so happy he could hardly close his mouth, as if he had just eaten a fruit of immortality. He didn't even notice anything unusual about the maid's stuttering.
He immediately said, Good, good, good. I’ll go right now.
Let's go, let's go!
This behavior was once again blocked by the guerrilla generals. They had finally managed to get him to come out just as they needed to discuss vital matters, and now he was going off for a tryst with his wife again?
Heaven only knew how long they would be occupied once they met.
The lives of eight hundred men were hanging in the balance. How could they allow him to keep delaying like this?
However, they simply couldn't stop General Zhang. They could only watch helplessly as he followed the maid toward the Madam's tent.
That joyful, almost skipping silhouette caused the hearts of the guerrilla generals, which had just warmed up, to turn cold again.
With General Zhang acting like this, was there even any point in discussing things with him?
Could it be that their only choice was to gamble on whether the Empress would show them mercy?
General Zhang didn't care about any of that.
At this moment, the joy in his heart was like boiling water. Not only was there a spring in his step, but he was also humming a little tune. His mood was more comfortable than it had ever been.
His wife was actually not angry anymore.
And...
She admitted she was wrong!
Had his heart finally managed to warm her heart of stone?
Had his years of meticulous care, his boundless doting, and his all-out protection finally allowed her to see his sincerity?
The more General Zhang thought about it, the more excited he became, and his pace quickened.
He directly overtook the maid and strode toward Su Jin's tent.
He didn't notice at all that the maids who usually guarded the perimeter of the tent were missing; his heart was entirely filled with the joy of seeing his wife.
While still outside the tent, he shouted loudly.
Madam, your husband is here!
As he lifted the tent flap, a flash of cold light lunged toward him.
The blade was swift and precise, driven by immense force.
Immersed in his wonderful joy, General Zhang had no time to react. With a sickening squelch, a blade was thrust directly into his chest.
The smile had not yet faded from his face when he slumped straight to the ground.
Phew!
Ren Tianye, who had struck the blow, let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he had already decided to rebel, at the moment of actually killing his superior with his own hands, even he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
Fortunately, the nervousness didn't affect his movements; instead, it heightened his excitement, making the strike even more precise.
The blade had pierced General Zhang's chest, instantly stripping him of his ability to resist, yet it wasn't immediately fatal—which was exactly what Ren Tianye wanted.
He immediately crouched down and asked coldly, Where is the military tally?
In General Zhang's eyes, he saw Ren Tianye's murderous face and, not far away, Su Jin's expression of agony.
He finally understood.
His wife wasn't "no longer angry" at all!
His wife hadn't "realized she was wrong" either.
Ren Tianye was the one behind everything!
This Ren Tianye, a descendant of the noble house of Duke Ren who had received the imperial family's grace for generations, did not think of repaying the sovereign. Instead, he intended to rebel!
And now, he even dared to covet the military tally!
This was treason! An outrage against gods and men!
Thus, using his last remaining strength, he roared, Su Jin, why... why did you lie to me?
How could you lie to me?
Do you... do you not love me anymore?
Ren Tianye pulled out the saber belonging to Adjutant Wang Ming and thrust it into General Zhang's left chest. His face grew colder, and his voice turned icy. Where did you hide the military tally?
Despite the two consecutive stabs, which were not fatal, they made General Zhang's face grow paler and his spirit weaker. However, this only caused a greater burst of fury from him.
Su Jin, speak! Why did you lie to me?
Do you... do you not love me anymore?
Or should I say, have you never loved me?
In your heart, has the most important person always been that coward Song Wan? You've never forgotten Song Wan, have you?
Being with me was just a last resort for you, wasn't it?
He has always been in your heart.
Even now, he's still in there, isn't he?
General Zhang hissed and roared, tears streaming down his face as he cried like a child.
I knew it. Although I had your body, I never truly had your heart.
The one you love has never been me. It's Song Wan... it's Song Wan...
All these years of love and time have been wasted, utterly wasted...
Ren Tianye was absolutely fed up!
If he hadn't failed to get the specific location of the military tally, he really would have liked to use his blade to rip General Zhang's mouth open.
Damn it, I've stabbed you twice and asked you where the tally is, and you haven't said a single word in response. All you care about is asking if this woman loves you?!
Love your sister!
What time do you think it is? All you know is love, love, love. Is there nothing else in your head but shit?
He was furious. He stood up, walked over, and yanked Su Jin toward them, coldly commanding, You ask him. Where is the military tally?
Su Jin's eyes were blurred with tears, her face full of pain.
Watching General Zhang suffer such agony while being powerless to help—especially since the situation was caused by her—made her heart suffer through an ordeal.
How could she possibly ask about the military tally for Ren Tianye?
However, the moment she met Ren Tianye's cold eyes, her body shivered. She had just experienced Ren Tianye's thunderous and ruthless methods.
He was not someone a weak woman like her could resist.
She could only grit her teeth and lean toward General Zhang.
With a face covered in tears, she said, Husband, please... please don't resist anymore. Just give the military tally to General Ren...
General Zhang found strength from somewhere unknown. Though his breath was as thin as silk, he suddenly roared again, You're actually speaking for an outsider?
How can you speak for an outsider!
Could it be that in your heart, my position is not only inferior to that coward Song Wan, but now even inferior to an outsider?
Jin'er, I love you to the bone! How... how could you treat me like this?
How could you treat me like this!
Ren Tianye's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. He really wanted to split General Zhang's head open right now to see exactly what was inside!
Can't you focus on the damn point?!
It's the military tally!
The tally!
The tally!
The command seal!
It wasn't about some goddamn romantic bullshit!
