"The magistrate of Liuzhou is loyal to the emperor and loves his country. Liang is impressed."
Even though his heart was in turmoil, Nie Liang remained calm on the surface. It was as if he did not notice Jiang Pengji's arrogance and fearlessness. He had seen many such stubborn people, but in the face of absolute profit, even the gentry would bow down.
As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god in, but it's hard to send him away. The Nie family had already entered the game. How could they leave empty-handed?
The current situation was clear. Cang Zhou was too big, and the people who coveted it were too strong. Whether it was Huang Song or Liu Xi, they could not defend Cang Zhou with their individual strength. Not only could they not defend it, but they would also get themselves killed. Instead of being greedy and occupying the entire Cang Zhou, they might as well retreat in order to advance and give some of the benefits to the Nie family. They could gain the most benefits with the least amount of effort.
Nie Liang smiled faintly and bowed with his hands folded in front. It seemed like a compliment, but the smile on his lips was meaningful.
Loyal to the emperor and love his country?
As the most powerful feudal lord in Dongqing, Jiang Pengji obviously had an army. The words "loyal to the emperor and love his country" were a mockery.
Jiang Pengji would smile faintly and raise the wine bottle in her right hand to toast Nie Liang, shamelessly accepting his compliment.
"You flatter me. Even though the royal family is declining, it is my duty to defend the land and protect the people. I dare not forget it for a moment."
So what if she was a rebel and a traitor who had an army?
Jiang Pengji asked herself if she was worthy of the land under her feet and the people living on it. That was enough.
Furthermore, what the Nie family had done in Zhongzhao was no better than what she had done.
The two were about the same. Did the crow want to laugh at the pig?
Jiang Pengji was about to expose the Nie family's past. Wei Ci saw her eyes turn cold. His heart skipped a beat. He could vaguely guess what she wanted to say.
If she really said it, wouldn't she offend the Nie family?
Wei Ci secretly tugged on Jiang Pengji's sleeve. She seemed to feel it and swallowed the words she was about to say.
"I have something to say. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me." Before Nie Liang could say anything threatening, Wei Ci smiled and continued Jiang Pengji's words. "Birds of a feather flock together. Forgive me for my rudeness, but a traitor like Meng Zhan is rare in the world. This person did not think of the emperor's kindness and preyed on the people, causing the people under his rule to have no way to live. For his own personal gain, he actually betrayed Cangzhou. In the future, he would be recorded in the history books as a treacherous official who would go down in infamy for thousands of years. Ci had heard that the Nie Family of Zhongzhao was a truly noble and distinguished family. They had been around for hundreds of generations and had nurtured countless sages and famous scholars, celebrities and capable officials. With such a powerful family background, how could he collude with those treacherous officials and villains for the sake of temporary benefits? "
Jiang Pengji was in charge of acting like a hooligan, while Wei Ci was in charge of adding insult to injury.
With the two of them working together, wouldn't those with weaker mental endurance be angered to the point of vomiting blood?
Wei Yong, who was sitting next to Nie Liang, did not make a sound from beginning to end, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
His memory of Wei Ci was still stuck at eight or nine years ago. The youth, who was barely in his twenties, was like an old monk, calm and uninteresting.
Now that they met again, he seemed a little sharper.
From the looks of it, he had experienced many things over the years and matured quite a bit.
Wei Yong's heart was filled with the feeling of having a younger brother who had just grown up. He smiled and said, "This sounds reasonable, but it's sophistry."
Huang Song took the opportunity to shift his gaze to Wei Yong and asked in a seemingly surprised manner, "This is?"
Nie Liang said, "This is Liang's close friend. His surname is Wei, his given name is Yong, and his courtesy name is Zishun."
Hearing Wei Yong's name and courtesy name, everyone in the tent could not help but shift their gaze to Wei Ci.
Whether it was their surname, first name or courtesy name, they looked like brothers no matter how they looked at it.
Faintly, everyone felt that they had grasped the truth.
This was another pair of plastic brothers!
Huang Song said with a smile, "How is it sophistry? I heard that Mr. Zixiao is very reasonable. "
Wei Yong said, "Now that there are five countries in the world, Nansheng has been destroyed, the four factions of Nanman are vainly trying to overthrow the orthodoxy, Dongqing's royal family is declining, and Zhongzhao is not far behind. The remaining Beiyuan and Xichang are in turmoil within their borders. China is divided, feudal lords are rising, barbarian horses are trampling, and rebellious officials are domineering. This is the sign of a chaotic world. At present, only the arrival of the Holy Emperor can turn the tide and help the Xia Kingdom. People say that those who speak benevolently die, while those who are ambitious and ruthless prosper. I also despise Meng Zhan's actions. However, are the people guilty? My lord has no other intentions, he just wants to protect the innocent people and prevent them from being plunged into misery and suffering. The district magistrate also said that protecting the people is part of his duty. As long as it can protect the people, why can't I sacrifice myself? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent was like a cold current rushing through, and the temperature dropped by several degrees.
Jiang Pengji restrained her frivolous attitude, and there was a hint of sternness in her eyes.
"This gentleman is really eloquent …"
Wei Yong replied calmly, "Every word and sentence is from the bottom of my heart."
Who would believe that!
Although she was choked back, Jiang Pengji was not embarrassed or annoyed. Instead, she revealed a calm smile, as if she did not care.
The atmosphere in the tent indirectly affected the audience in the streaming room.
When Jiang Pengji displayed her hooligan attitude, many fans and fangirls cheered for her crazily.
This was the streamer they were familiar with, who would make people cry at the slightest disagreement.
Jiang Pengji and Wei Ci, their tacit understanding was too high!
They were indeed the most popular couple in the streaming room!
Jieshou Meishu: "Can a language class representative translate this young man's words? I feel that his words are strange."
After following the streaming for so many years, they realized that the people in the streaming room usually conversed in the vernacular, not the pure classical Chinese that they had imagined.
Even so, on certain occasions, their dialogue was still very difficult to listen to.
Musixiangyang: "Brother Wei's words are not difficult to understand. To put it simply, this young man trampled on the streamer and supported the Nie family. Now that the world is in chaos, those who are capable will be in charge. Whoever has the bigger fist can provide security and protection for the people. Although the streamer is strong, she can't protect the people of Cangzhou. She can't give the people absolute security, but the Nie family can, so the streamer shouldn't stop the people from pursuing happiness? "
Kuangxia Moshi: "The streamer raised the flag of national righteousness, and the integrity of the territory cannot be invaded. Brother Wei retorted from the perspective of the people. The people are innocent. If the streamer forced them, it would be heartless, and she would slap herself in the mouth. The streamer has met her opponent with her mouth!"
The audience watched with relish, but Jiang Pengji's fangirls were unwilling.
Industrial Design: "What are you saying? Our streamer's influence is also very strong, okay? "
Yusui Jueyou: "You can't say that. The Nie family's influence in Zhongzhao is also strong. The point is that the streamer just attacked the North borderline, and before she could catch her breath, she brought troops to attack the Meng family. After a long war, the more she fights, the more her vitality will be damaged. Since the beginning of the war, the streamer has been fighting for a year and four months, and her vitality has been seriously damaged. The current situation is very complicated. Apart from the pressure from outside the borders, there is also Huang Song, the fake brother, who is watching covetously within the borders. In this aspect, the streamer is really not as good as the Nie family at protecting the people.
