"Isn't my lord worried about having no one to restrain the Nie family?" Wei Ci smiled. "Nie Liang is the best pawn."
He was a pawn that came to him on his own accord!
In this regard, Feng Zhen could only cheer for Wei Ci and cheer him brainlessly.
"You can even think of such a way to make the Nie family fall into internal strife. How can you be so cunning?" Feng Zhen said disdainfully, but his eyes showed otherwise. "However, I'm curious about one thing. How do you know so much about the Nie family? Since ancient times, one should not wash one's dirty linen in public. Only the Nie family knows about the internal strife. How could it be spread everywhere?
Wei Ci was busy with government affairs and battles everywhere with the army. How could he have the time to gather information?
Trade between Zhongzhao and Dongqing was basically closed. There were almost no other channels for information. How did Wei Ci know so much?
Wei Ci put his hands behind his back. His clothes fluttered in the wind. He looked at the sky and sighed.
Feng Zhen stretched out his ears to hear the answer. Wei Ci said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
Feng Zhen was speechless.
You'll lose the baby!
Wei Ci couldn't stand Feng Zhen's resentful gaze. He said helplessly, "I calculated it by watching the stars day and night."
"Why don't you say it was Guyou You who told you?"
Wei Ci was able to see this from observing the stars. Did Wei Ci really think that Feng Zhen did not understand the art of astrology?
Wei Ci answered readily, "Not only can I control ghosts, but I also understand the language of beasts. I know what plants are saying."
Feng Zhen's eyes widened in shock. He sneered. "Wei Zixiao, you really panted when I said 'you're fat.'"
The two bickered for a while and unknowingly returned to their home base.
Wei Ci told Jiang Pengji the good news. Nie Liang's return to the Nie family would probably cause a storm. He couldn't manage Cangzhou for the time being.
"This news is timely," Jiang Pengji said. "But can Nie Liang defeat the other old foxes of the Nie family?"
Jiang Pengji began to worry that Nie Liang wasn't strong enough. Wouldn't it be a pity if he "died" too quickly?
Wei Ci said confidently, "Nie Liang is known as the ghost of the Nie family. If he hadn't schemed in secret, the Nie family wouldn't be so strong. Now that the Nie family wants to get rid of him, he's probably very disappointed. My lord, Nie Liang may look harmless, but he is definitely not an indecisive person. If these cancerous tumors continued to plague the Nie clan, the clan's foundation would definitely be ruined. Given his temperament, there's no way he would watch the Nie clan decline without doing anything. "
"According to Zixiao, this person isn't a fool." Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with a frown, "He should know that he's dealing with the internal strife, so he won't have time to attend to Cangzhou. He'll miss a good opportunity. Letting a tiger return to the mountain will cause endless troubles in the future. How could he not know? "
Wei Ci smiled and said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too. So what if Nie Guangshan knows?"
Where there is gain, there must be loss. If he cared about one side, he would neglect the other. Nie Liang knew how to choose.
In his past life, Wei Ci had very little contact with this genius from the Nie family.
From what he understood, the family held a very heavy weight in Nie Liang's heart. With the current situation, was it more important to expand outward and allow the family to have internal strife, or was it more important to purge the family? Nie Liang had a balance in his heart and would not lose the bigger picture because of a small thing.
Jiang Pengji said, "Zixiao, make the decision. I trust you. However, before the Nie family leaves, we must first settle the matter in Cangzhou. "
The Nie family pressured Huang Song so that Jiang Pengji could use this as leverage to exchange for the two counties in Cangzhou.
If the Nie family's diplomatic group left, Huang Song might act shamelessly.
Wei Ci said, "Yes."
The next day, Feng Jue and Cheng Jing came to visit on behalf of Huang Song.
The two of them were quite tactful. They did not ask Jiang Pengji stupid questions such as why she sent troops to Chenzhou — Huang Song had done wrong in Chenzhou. Jiang Pengji had retaliated, so they could not reprimand her. Otherwise, they would have scolded Huang Song as well. The two of them were straightforward and decisive. They tested Jiang Pengji's tone a little. With a plan in mind, Feng Jue revealed his suggestion to exchange the two counties in Cangzhou for Chenzhou.
Jiang Pengji smiled and leaned on the table. "Is this Bogao's idea?"
Feng Jue said calmly, "Of course it's my lord's idea. Although I'm trusted by my lord, I dare not act on my own."
"The two counties in Cangzhou are a fat piece of meat that the strategists must fight for. Bogao is actually willing to exchange them for Chenzhou. Isn't this a great loss?"
Feng Jue said, "My lord and the magistrate of Liuzhou are as close as brother and sister. When has a family ever said such things? My lord doesn't care about these gains and losses. What's important is the stability of the alliance between the two families. My lord didn't handle the matter with Meng Zhan well. He worried day and night that it would cause a rift between the magistrate of Liuzhou. After thinking about it, this is the only way to make up for it. I hope that you don't mind. I can report to my lord and let him feel at ease. "
Feng Jue could not see that a group of fans were cheering him on across dimensions. The comments were even more varied.
Zhongfei Yesterday's Stars: "I've finally seen it. This streaming room is full of drama queens and big shots who lie with their eyes open."
Yu Yanran: "If I hadn't been following the updates and knew the whole story, I would have thought that Huang Song had really suffered a loss." He and the streamer only had a fake, plastic sibling relationship. Why did Feng Jue say that they were model siblings? This was the highest realm of lying with their eyes open. "
Mo Dansi: "It's not enough to lie with your eyes open. The key is to be thick-skinned. I like people who are so shameless."
Zhi Jing: "Although Brother Feng doesn't appear many times, I really like him. I'm cheering for him."
Jiang Pengji ignored the contents of the bullet screen. She smiled and said, "Bogao and I are not strangers. I don't agree with what Huaijie said."
Feng Jue said, "So, you agree to it?"
Jiang Pengji revealed a doting smile. "Since Bogao likes Chenzhou, Chenzhou will be given to him."
Feng Jue looked hesitant and only spoke after a while.
"Jue, there's one more thing. I don't know how you plan to deal with it."
"Huaijie, just say what you want to say."
Feng Jue asked, "Meng Zhan brutally killed the royal family and overturned the universe. My lord sent troops to rescue him and stationed them in Chenzhou. However, the valiant generals under the command of Liu mistook them for rebels and detained them as captives. If I may ask, have you thought about how to deal with them? "
He was asking her for captives.
Jiang Pengji smiled and squinted her eyes. She was very generous.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, how can I detain Bogao's men and not let them go? When Jing Rong comes over, I'll ask him to supervise this matter. "
He thought that Jiang Pengji would deliberately make things difficult or detain the captives, but it went unexpectedly smoothly.
Feng Jue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After leaving the main tent, Cheng Jing said to Feng Jue, "I have a bad feeling about this."
Feng Jue frowned. "Yes. Magistrate Liu's expression is too relaxed. He doesn't seem to be afraid of being surrounded by enemies on all sides."
Putting oneself on the edge of death to survive?
It was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to do it.
The two of them left together and happened to see a familiar figure leaving in a hurry. His expression was a little strange.
Cheng Jing glanced at Nie Xun's departing figure. "Why is he here?"
