Huang Song subconsciously did not want to agree. He was a little hesitant.
Jiang Pengji did not wait for him to think of an excuse and made a joke.
"Bogao, you won't be reluctant if I ask you for Mister Nie, right?"
"Why would I be reluctant? Lanting is willing to let Chengyun accompany him. This is his trust in him … "Although he said that, Huang Song knew very well that if Yuanxin's hostility was not too obvious and made Jiang Pengji unhappy, she would not have taken such a precautionary action.
Jiang Pengji stationed the army in Qianyan County and rushed there with only 5,000 men. She had taken a huge risk.
Huang Song could completely understand that she was very defensive and repelled people who were hostile to her.
Yuanxin drank a little too much. When he heard that Nie Xun wanted to get close to Jiang Pengji's people, his nerves tightened.
"I'm just a boorish man. I can't say extravagant words of praise … Burp … Governor of Liuzhou is honorable. A mere Nie Chengyun does not carry enough weight. How can he match my lord's friendship with you? If word gets out, outsiders will say that my lord is neglecting a distinguished guest and doesn't know etiquette. " Yuanxin's cheeks were red from drinking, but his eyes were not cloudy. Instead, they flashed with a narrow-minded and stern look. "I heard … Burp … I heard that Governor of Liuzhou and Fengbie Jia are good friends when they were young. Fengbie Jia is my lord's most trusted right-hand man. It will not be impolite if Fengbie Jia accompanies you."
As he spoke, he burped. The wine bottle in his hand trembled and half of the wine was gone. It seemed that he was very drunk.
In fact, he seemed drunk but not drunk. His mind was still very clear.
There was only one thought in his mind. He absolutely could not let Nie Xun and Jiang Pengji's people get too close!
Unbeknownst to him, his precautionary action had put Nie Xun in an awkward position.
Huang Song's expression was slightly unfriendly. He could only laugh dryly and apologize to Jiang Pengji on behalf of Yuanxin.
Feng Jue, who was sitting below, was about to step forward to speak when Jiang Pengji said with a tired and bored expression, "Forget it, forget it. Why are you so defensive? We're family, why speak so differently? If Huaijie has time and Bogao is willing to let him go, it'll be good to accompany me … "
Seeing this, Feng Jue had no choice but to swallow his words of apology. He cupped his hands and said, "If Governor of Liuzhou doesn't mind, I will accompany you."
The atmosphere of the banquet was strange to begin with, and now it became even more stagnant.
Huang Song tried his best to lighten the mood, but the crowd still did not know the taste of food. There was suspicion and wariness among them.
Jiang Pengji pretended to be drunk and left. She returned to the tent arranged by Huang Song.
She asked someone to get a basin of cold water for her and then buried her face in the cold water.
After a while, Jiang Pengji raised her head, closed her eyes, and searched for the position of the cloth.
She grabbed a towel and wiped the water stains on her face. Her pale face was flushed red because of the cold water and the towel.
When she opened her eyes, she happened to see the screen full of bullet screens. Most of the audience was comforting Jiang Pengji.
Although they were only spectators, the strange atmosphere of the banquet and the unnatural interaction between old friends made everyone feel that something was wrong.
Shuimo Niannian: "My heart aches for the streamer. Things remain the same, but people have changed. It's too cruel."
Hongbanxi Feng: "Last night, I stayed up late to chase after Feng Tian's group. Today, when I saw the scene between the streamer and Huang Song, I suddenly remembered Crab saying to Bao Zi that we will never be the same again. Oh my god, I've been stabbed twice in a row. My heart is broken."
Even though the audience had been mentally prepared for the streamer and Huang Song to quarrel, they still felt bad when they saw the scene.
In this regard, Jiang Pengji could only say that they were still too emotional.
Streamer V: "If I were Bogao today, guess what I would do? I would set up a Hongmen Banquet, cut the weeds, and eliminate the roots. Bogao did not do this, not because he did not think of it or because he was not that vicious, but because he was not confident and had concerns.
Although it was just a short sentence, the audience felt the coldness and heartlessness that came rushing at them.
The audience was stunned. Many felt that Jiang Pengji's thoughts were too dark and could not help but refute.
Crab Huang Bao Shishui: "If Huang Song is really so bad, why didn't he do anything at the banquet? This is his home ground. He poisoned or set up an ambush in advance. Streamer, you didn't bring many people with you. If it's really a Hongmen Banquet, no matter how I look at it, Huang Song has a higher chance of winning. "
Jiang Pengji smiled, her expression a little cold.
Streamer V: "Bogao has seen me kill people. No one under him can stop me, so he said that he is not confident. If we really fight, the first person to die will be him. As for concerns … If Bogao and I fight, others will benefit. It's not worth it. "
At that moment, Feng Jue sent someone to send Huang Song, who reeked of alcohol, back to the backyard. Lady Qi hurriedly sent someone to get some hangover soup.
"Lady, leave the hangover soup first. Let me get drunk for a while …"
Huang Song supported his swollen head with his right hand on the short table. His breathing was heavy and tired.
"How much did you drink today, Langjun?" Lady Qi said angrily, "You haven't recovered from your chronic illness, yet you still dare to go against the doctor's advice and drink without restraint?"
Huang Song said with a slurred tongue, "I didn't drink much. I'm only half drunk. It's good to be drunk. At least I won't let my imagination run wild …"
"Let my imagination run wild?" Lady Qi was surprised.
Huang Song leaned against Lady Qi's shoulder and buried his head in the crook of her neck. He lowered his voice and said, "Lanting only brought 5,000 elites with her. This is a good opportunity. Perhaps there won't be a better opportunity than this. However … I can't act rashly, and I can't lose my footing. "
He had to restrain the demons and greedy heart that were clamoring in his heart so that he would not make a stupid decision that he would regret.
Instead of letting his mind clear, it was better to get half-drunk and use his headache to divert his attention.
Lady Qi was stunned for a moment, as if she could not immediately digest this fact.
"Langjun, you mean that today you actually …"
"I haven't put this idea into action yet. I'm just thinking about it in my mind …" Huang Song looked slightly tipsy. He shook his head and said, "I'm not as good as Lanting in this regard. If I brought 5,000 elites with me today, what awaited me would definitely be a banquet at Hongmen that was filled with killing intent and no chance of survival. She has nothing to worry about. I can't do that. If I dare to do anything else, she can crush my neck first …"
The scene of Jiang Pengji dismembering a living person with a ceremonial tablet in the court left a deep impression on him. He would occasionally have nightmares about that scene.
Of course, if the banquet at Hongmen was effective, Huang Song would not miss this opportunity.
He did not make a move. It was precisely because of what Jiang Pengji had said …
Firstly, he was not confident. Secondly, he had concerns.
The next day, Feng Jue and Nie Xun came over early in the morning to take attendance.
"Where is Meng Zhan being locked up at the moment?"
Jiang Pengji did her morning exercise as usual, then brushed her teeth, washed up, and changed her clothes. She looked refreshed.
Feng Jue cupped his hands and said, "Meng Zhan is locked up in the dungeon."
"I'll go and see him myself." Jiang Pengji glanced at him and pointed at two people. "Zixiao, Shijiu, you two follow me."
Li Yun volunteered. "My lord is traveling alone outside. The two gentlemen are not very skilled in martial arts. I hope my lord will allow me to follow you."
