The matter between Nie Xun and Meng Heng had been resolved smoothly, but only the people involved knew whether or not it was over.
Huang Song still held a grudge.
Who asked Nie Xun to deceive them first?
Even though Huang Song did not show it clearly, Nie Xun was a shrewd person. He felt somewhat bitter in his heart.
Nie Xun had mixed feelings as he watched Meng Heng visit him every few days.
He had something to say, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
"Aren't you afraid that Liu Xi will suspect something?"
Nie Xun finally couldn't hold it in any longer and probed.
"If Heng distanced herself from you, Master would be suspicious. You and I have a clean relationship, so there's no need to hide it. It'll only make people gossip. "
Meng Heng let out a bitter laugh, as if he had his own difficulties.
According to the logic of ordinary people, brothers who had finally reunited with each other should naturally be on good terms with each other. How could they not contact each other until death?
Before they acknowledged each other, their relationship was already pretty good. Now that they were related by blood, there was no reason for them to drift apart.
Nie Xun was at a loss for words.
Meng Heng was like a piece of sticky candy that came to him of his own accord. He had not been able to get rid of him before, but now, he would stick to him even if he did.
Right now, the most troublesome thing was not personal affairs, but the activity outside Zhanjiang Pass and Yumen Pass.
After the Meng's manor was raided, the letters between Meng Zhan, the Nie's of Zhongzhao, and the Yi's of Beiyuan were also exposed. Not only was the Meng's pushed to the teeth of the storm again, but the grim situation at the border was also on the table of Jiang Pengji and Huang Song. If the two of them fought, others would definitely take advantage of it. The best solution was for the two families to continue to form an alliance and help each other. Only then would the Zhongzhao Nie Clan and the Beiyuan Yi Clan not dare to act rashly.
When Feng Jue visited Jiang Pengji on behalf of Huang Song, the audience in the streaming room exploded before she could.
Suige: "I've been following the livestream for so many years, but this is the first time I've felt so aggrieved. The streamer is the one who has been wronged. Not only did she not give her personal space to heal her wounds, but Huang Song shamelessly came up to her and wanted to form an alliance with her to fight against the enemy.
[Shen Jia]: "I've been a bit depressed lately. Although I've gotten back some face from Meng Zhan, I'm still not happy."
Fei Feifei: "The streamer's ultimate move takes a long time to charge up …"
Mushroom Soup Hotpot: "Calm down. This has happened a lot in history. Our Boss Cao, because of his lust, played with Mrs. Zou, the widow of Zhang Xiu's uncle, which led to Zhang Xiu's betrayal. His eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and general Dian Wei were all killed. What was the result? Didn't Boss Cao treat Poison Warrior Jia Xu as his precious eyeball? Jia Xu was the only one among Boss Cao's many advisors who died of old age. The grievances that the host has suffered are not even one ten-thousandth of what Boss Cao has suffered, so it is not considered bitter.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "# picknose1. The streamer wouldn't play the role of a widower who has been defeated by a general."
As the audience chattered on, the topic of conversation began to stray to an unseemly degree.
Jiang Pengji was calm and composed. She was not affected at all. Feng Jue looked at the big picture and hoped that the two families could let go of the past and defend the land of Dongqing together under the banner of righteousness. Naturally, she couldn't undermine him. Even if Huang Song hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Pengji would've suggested consolidating the alliance.
Now that Huang Song took the initiative to bring it up, the effect was better.
Feng Jue had a bad premonition that the lobbying this time was going too smoothly.
He went back and passed the message to Huang Song. Huang Song also expressed that something was wrong.
He kept pacing, almost making a hole in the ground.
"Lanting's temperament is, to put it nicely, serious. To put it bluntly, she's calculative and vengeful. After suffering such a big loss, the more generous she is and the more unfussy I am, the more uneasy I feel. I have a feeling that she's holding back some tricks." Huang Song felt uneasy, but according to the scouts' report, whether it was the 5,000 elites in Meng County or the army stationed at the border of Qianyan County, all of them were well-behaved.
Feng Jue thought so too.
Jiang Pengji had left a deep shadow in their hearts when she was young. They couldn't help but overthink it.
"By the way, about Chengyun … is he still close to Meng Heng?"
Feng Jue said, "The two of them are friends. My lord, you can't listen to Yuan Xun's words and ruin the harmony between the civil and military officials."
He didn't know what kind of temper Yuan Xin had. He kept his eyes on Nie Xun and refused to let go.
No matter how loyal a person was, he couldn't stand such suspicion. The more Yuan Xin did this, the further Nie Xun would be pushed away.
Thinking of this, Feng Jue felt some resentment towards Yuan Xin.
He was a dignified general, but instead of thinking about killing the enemy and being loyal, he kept his eyes on such a small matter. His vision was too narrow.
Huang Song responded vaguely, but only he knew if he took it in.
Before Nie Xun's identity was exposed, Huang Song naturally believed him. No matter how much Yuan Xin talked, he never wavered.
Ever since he found out that Nie Xun was deliberately deceiving him, Huang Song had a grudge. This grudge was very, very small, but it was a seed of suspicion. It took root fiercely. Yuan Xin snitched on him every now and then, which became the best nourishment for the seed to germinate. One day, it would grow into a towering tree.
Seeing Nie Xun go to the big pit and never return, Wei Ci felt even more sorry for Yang Si.
What was the connection between the two?
In his previous life, Yang Si had been harmed by his lord by sowing discord. In the end, he had no choice but to be recruited by his lord.
"Speaking of Jing Rong, there should be good news coming from his side soon, right?"
Jiang Pengji had been in Meng County for some time.
No matter how good it was, it was still Huang Song's territory. It was needless to say that it was dangerous.
She refused to move because she wanted to cover for Yang Si and Dian Yan.
In ancient times, the transmission of information was very slow. Even if it was 800 miles at top speed, it still needed a certain amount of time.
Chenzhou and Cangzhou were separated by the rapid Song River. As long as they seized this important route in advance, the news would be pushed back again and again.
When Huang Song received the news that Yang Si and Dian Yan had brought troops to Chenzhou, the situation was basically settled.
She wanted to see who would be the one to suffer in silence in the end!
Meng Zhan bore the crime of regicide and cleared the way for Huang Song. In the end, the person who would reap the rewards would be her, Jiang Pengji!
Wei Ci came back to his senses and said, "Looking at the time, it's almost time."
Jiang Pengji took a sip of fragrant tea and smiled like a fox.
"Jing Rong will not let me down."
Wei Ci stayed at the side with mixed feelings.
In both previous and previous lives, Yang Si had not been able to get rid of his lord. It was clearly fate.
"Time is still too short …"
Wei Ci could not help but say something good for Yang Si.
If Yang Si did not achieve the expected goal, he hoped that Jiang Pengji would be lenient.
After all, Yang Si was already pitiful enough.
He had been unexpectedly sent to Hu County by Jiang Pengji for several years. He had been dealing with Xu Pei's elite, Han Yu, all year round. Now he had to lead troops from thousands of miles away to help Chenzhou. Not only did he have to be fast and efficient, but he also had to do it quietly so that the news would not reach Huang Song's ears in advance.
He had not lived an easy life in this life.
He never expected that before Yang Si's news came, the messenger from the Nie family of Zhongzhao had already arrived.
"Fortunately, the messenger from the Yi family of Beiyuan is still on the way. Otherwise, when the two families meet, it will be a bloody battlefield."
Meng Zhan had asked for it. He had promised Cangzhou to two big shots, and then he had given Cangzhou to a third person.
