【Inside the tent, Ye Yu sat on the main seat, while Huangfu Baizhi knelt respectfully before him.】
【At this moment, she had already prepared for the worst.】
【Even the possibility of immediate execution had crossed her mind.】
【Yet, she was deeply puzzled.】
【The disparity in military strength between them was vast.】
【If Ye Yu truly wished to annihilate their rebellion, it would be as easy as flipping a hand.】
【But why was he giving so much money to the rebels?】
【Was it really as the rumors said?】
【That the great money-sprinkling emperor’s only hobby was to distribute wealth?】
【As Huangfu Baizhi pondered this, Ye Yu continued to observe the rebel leader.】
【Ever since hearing Meng Shifang’s description of Huangfu Baizhi, he had been very interested in her.】
【He had even read through Huangfu Baizhi’s documents on the way here.】
【It was hard to stop once he started.】
【In the hundred years of war, the tasks Meng Shifang assigned to Huangfu Baizhi were nothing short of hellish.】
【Yet this woman had demonstrated astonishing talent in leading troops.】
【No matter how dire the situation, as long as she was in command, she could effortlessly turn the tide.】
【Such a brilliant record should have warranted a promotion long ago.】
【But now, she was still just a minor fourth-rank general, stationed in a frigid, desolate land, with no hope in sight.】
【No wonder she harbored grievances!】
【Ye Yu lightly tapped the table, then, after a moment of thought, slowly rose and walked up to Huangfu Baizhi.】
【As he approached, Ye Yu could clearly smell a subtle fragrance.】
【Unexpectedly, not only were her eyes so sharp, but she also smelled so pleasant.】
【It was a pity that she was still veiled at this moment, making it somewhat regretful not to see her full appearance.】
【Ye Yu frowned slightly.】
【He reached out and pulled down the veil from Huangfu Baizhi’s face.】
【Though she attempted to avert her face, she ultimately endured.】
【When Ye Yu saw Huangfu Baizhi’s true face, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise.】
【Originally, he thought that Huangfu Baizhi wore a veil to hide ugliness.】
【But he never expected that her appearance was so extraordinarily beautiful.】
【The beauty mark at the corner of her mouth added an extra touch of charm.】
【Huangfu Baizhi slightly lowered her head.】
【In a deep voice, she said: Your Majesty, there is no need to look further at this humble appearance of mine.】
【No matter what punishment is given, I can accept it.】
【Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.】
【If this could be considered a humble appearance, then perhaps there are no beauties in the entire northern wilderness.】
【Ye Yu took a storage ring from his hand and placed it before her.】
【Upon seeing this, Huangfu Baizhi was very puzzled.】
【Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?】
【Ye Yu explained: Inside this ring are martial arts techniques, spiritual stones, and artifacts. With proper use, they can definitely help you advance to the next level.】
【This statement left Huangfu Baizhi even more confused.】
【It seemed that His Majesty did not intend to kill her?】
【Moreover, why was he giving so many things?】
【Huangfu Baizhi found it increasingly strange.】
【Just then, a terrifying vast pressure descended in an instant.】
【Even though Huangfu Baizhi had already reached the Integration Realm, under this immense pressure, she couldn’t even move a finger.】
【Then, Ye Yu’s warm voice echoed in her ears.】
【I intend to keep you for future use.】
【But one must know their place. If you accept my things and still harbor ill intentions, then no one can protect you, and I mean that.】
【Huangfu Baizhi’s heart trembled violently.】
【After speaking, Ye Yu turned and left the tent.】
【The terrifying pressure also vanished.】
