Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

In the end, most of the forces in the city perished due to lack of food.

Zhang Yi's forces were reduced to only about 500 people.

Fortunately, the overall situation has been determined at this time. They have become a dominant force with their strength well preserved, so they have control over the entire Moyuan City.

The others became increasingly weaker and eventually starved to death in the blockaded Moyuan City.

After hearing what had happened, Song Zhi's eyes darkened. She handed the place over to Xin Wanyun and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the dozen or so women had already washed up and eaten something. They looked rosy and energetic.

After being packed up, everyone looked very pretty, no wonder the bandits kept them.

When they saw Song Zhi, their eyes turned red and they were about to kneel down. Song Zhi quickly asked someone to support them.

"Lady Empress, thank you for not giving up on us."

Their voices were choked with sobs, and their eyes were full of longing for the future.

Because while they were bathing and eating, the female soldiers had already described to them the current situation in Phoenix Country, where men and women were equal, and there would no longer be a situation where women regarded chastity as the most important thing. Women were free, strong, and independent, and could do whatever they wanted.

Even the women who left Yunshuiyouyou have found a lifestyle that suits them.

No one looks down on them, and no one looks down on them because they have been prostitutes.

"Thank you, Empress."

Their eyes were extremely sincere, and although they no longer knelt, they still bowed solemnly.

Song Zhi waved his hand and said, "Now that you have figured it out, you can think about how to deal with Zhang Yi."

The women looked at each other and saw hatred in each other's eyes. "Okay, let's go see him now."

Song Zhi did not go with them, but he heard from Alua that Zhang Yi died in a very miserable way, and those dozen women wanted to try all the cruel tortures in the world on him.

Finally, Zhang Yi couldn't bear it anymore and died in pain.

After dealing with Zhang Yi, these women didn't want to stay in this sad place anymore.

Almost all of their relatives have passed away, and they are left alone in this world. So after thinking it over for a while, they decided to join the army to rescue more women like them who have been bound by the concept of female virtue.

Of course Song Zhi welcomed them very much, and she handed over all the dozen people to Alua to lead.

I thought Aluan would find it troublesome, after all, she seemed to have no interest in anything except martial arts training.

But unexpectedly, A-luan was very gentle and considerate to them.

There were very few survivors in this city, so without staying here for too long, Song Zhi decided to let Xin Wanyun take the troops to the next city.

On the way, they successfully reunited with Zhang Liu.

Zhang Liu has lost a lot of weight, and at least his facial features can be clearly seen from his fat face.

He did not immediately claim credit for his achievements. Instead, he knelt before Song Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission."

Song Zhi said with satisfaction, "Alright, all previous matters are written off. You can go directly to Lecheng now. Nanqi and Ruoyu will naturally arrange a suitable official position for you."

Zhang Liu's face was filled with emotion. "Are you really willing to continue using me?"

Song Zhi said, "What else?"

Zhang Liu immediately bowed and said, "I will serve the Empress with all my heart and soul until my death."

"Okay, hurry up, we're still busy heading to the next city."

Zhang Liu said, "Mu Yuanzhi is heading east, but their morale is unstable and they are not moving very fast. If we were to confront them head-on, how would you respond?"

Song Zhi looked at him thoughtfully: "Do you have any opinion?"

Zhang Liu smiled innocently, "It's like this. I've learned a lot since I came to the capital this time. I learned that the reason the Iron Cavalry is willing to obey Mu Yuanzhi's command is because of a token. As long as you have that token, you can command the Iron Cavalry."

After a pause, seeing that Song Zhi showed no signs of impatience or disbelief, Zhang Liu continued, "The reason Mu Yuanzhi is still able to thrive is because of those hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen. Without them, he would be nothing."

Song Zhi understood Zhang Liu's meaning, "So you want me to find that token?"

"Do not."

Zhang Liu's eyes were sharp. "I'm not looking for him. Mu Yuanzhi is leading the army in person this time. He will definitely not leave such an important item in the capital. He will probably carry it with him. You can try to snatch this token from him, and then everything he has will fall apart."

Song Zhi nodded. This was indeed the first time she heard about the token.

"I'll pay more attention."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave."

Zhang Liu did not stay long. He got on the carriage and headed straight towards Lecheng.

Song Zhi continued to lead his army on the road.

Along the way, they rescued a lot of refugees as usual. These refugees all hated Mu Yuanzhi to the core and wished that Song Zhi would turn this place into the Phoenix Kingdom immediately. They began to reveal the situation of the city they were in, telling everything they knew.

Song Zhi got a lot of useful information from them, and thus avoided several ambushes set by the Tianqi army.

However, most cities were extremely disappointed with the imperial court and chose to surrender directly to the Phoenix Kingdom.

Therefore, along the way, eight more cities were soon captured.

Song Zhi estimated that after passing through another city, they would soon encounter Mu Yuanzhi's troops, so she asked the soldiers of the Phoenix Kingdom to advance slowly and recuperate.

The next city they faced was called Wucheng.

This city is not big and does not have a long history. Even the survey shows that the population is not large, and it is not a very wealthy city.

Therefore, Song Zhi thought that it would be no problem to take the city quickly, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, as they got closer to the city, more and more crows circling in the sky seemed to tell them that something was unusual here.

Xie Ting rode his horse to Song Zhi's side and said, "Boss, why does it feel more and more eerie the further we go? Could it be that there is no one left alive in Wucheng?"

Song Zhi soothed him, "Don't think too much. Everything will work out when the time comes. Don't scare yourself and disrupt the morale of the troops now."

Xie Ting quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Unlike before, there were no refugees along the way, not even the corpses of people who had starved to death.

Song Zhi felt doubtful, but he hid it well.

Soon, a group of soldiers arrived at the foot of Wucheng.

Wucheng is indeed not big. Even the two words "Wucheng" on the city gate are not domineering, but reveal a sense of being a beautiful girl from a small family.

Because the city gate was closed, the situation inside could not be seen, but many soldiers could be seen standing on the city wall, ready for battle.

Their appearance made the soldiers extremely nervous, and soon someone turned around to call for help.

Song Zhi looked at these people and couldn't help feeling a little doubtful.
