"Zixiao, please treat this trip to Nansheng with caution."
After the crowd dispersed, Qiguan Rang could not help but remind Wei Ci.
Wei Ci turned his head upon hearing the voice. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had a sharp nature. It was not like he was unaware of Qiguan Rang's wariness and suspicion towards him.
Aside from official business, they rarely interacted with each other in private, let alone this kind of advice to a friend.
Qiguan Rang raised his eyelids and said lightly, "The lord's decision to form an alliance with Yang Tao was only to reduce the pressure on the battlefront. She wasn't afraid of the alliance between the Huang and Xu families. Since they were going to fight anyway, it would be the same sooner or later. When you go to Nansheng, it's best if you can persuade Yang Tao. If you can't, it's fine too. At the end of the day, the war can be fought at any time. The difference lies in the length of time and the degree of difficulty. But there is only one Wei Ci in the world. "
On the surface, Wei Ci did not show any extreme reaction, but in his heart, he was somewhat fearful and fearful.
Ever since Wei Ci had ascertained who was responsible for the "meteorite falling from the sky" in his past life, he did not expect to gain Qiguan Rang's approval and trust.
This was because the theory of rebirth was too absurd. Other than the lord, no one else would believe it.
Since Wei Ci could not be honest, he naturally could not completely dispel Qiguan Rang's suspicions.
"Wenzheng, do you think there will be other changes during the trip to Nansheng?" Wei Ci pretended to be confused.
"That's not it." Qiguan Rang shook his head. "I'm just reminding you to be careful and protect yourself. Don't force yourself."
If Wei Ci was just an ordinary strategist, it would be fine. However, he was a fat piece of meat that his lord had her eyes on. She could not let him be taken away by others.
Of course, his concern for Wei Ci did not mean that he did not suspect him.
Wei Ci accepted the other party's goodwill.
However —
"Sigh … I'm afraid the Lord is angry …"
From the time he volunteered to bring his men to Nansheng, Wei Ci had not found a chance to speak to Jiang Pengji.
The two of them met in a public place, so there was no chance for them to talk alone.
According to Wei Ci's understanding of her, it was highly likely that she was angry.
However, if time could be reversed and he was given another chance to choose, Wei Ci would still step forward.
Didn't he want to do his best to help her ascend the throne and create a better and more glorious situation than his previous life?
If he couldn't make up for the regrets of his previous life, wouldn't his rebirth be meaningless?
Wei Ci rode on the horse and looked back at the tents that were gradually getting further and further behind him, until the tents that were like mountains disappeared into the horizon.
To ensure Wei Ci's safety, Jiang Pengji assigned many guards to him.
A portion of them transformed into the guards of the courtyard to protect Wei Ci, who was disguised as a fleeing country gentleman. The other portion transformed into refugees and hid in the dark.
He would first take the land route, then he would change to the waterway before changing to the land route. He would cross the border between Zhangzhou and Nansheng and enter Nansheng's boundary.
Wei Ci thought that Jiang Pengji was angry, so she ignored him in a tsundere manner and even gave him a one-sided cold war.
Little did he know that his situation was completely under Jiang Pengji's control.
The Yin-Yang jade pendant was a gift from Jiang Pengji. Wei Ci always wore it close to his body. He never took it off even when he bathed.
In his eyes, the Yin and Yang jade pendant was just a jade pendant given by his lord, but in Jiang Pengji's eyes, it was an excellent dating artifact.
It was fine if Wei Ci was far away. She would be able to see him whenever she missed him.
The reason why she did not tell Wei Ci her parting words in private was that she did not want to put too much pressure on him.
"Langjun, we have arrived at Nansheng's boundary."
Wei Ci came out of the cabin when he heard the voice. The scenery of the lake and mountains before him was mesmerizing. It was a vast expanse of blue, and the lush green mountains were falling backward.
Nansheng was much warmer than Dongqing. When summer came, the scorching sun shone on the earth. Occasionally, there would be continuous rain.
Half a month ago, he was still wearing his spring clothes. When he arrived at Nansheng, he immediately changed into a summer shirt made of light material.
"This is Xunjiang River."
Wei Ci looked at the familiar scenery and suddenly felt like he had traveled through time. It was as if he had returned to the time when he accompanied An Cui to Nansheng. It was the season when the river water flowed rapidly. The ships heading south almost did not need boatmen to paddle. They could travel a thousand miles in a day. The wind from the ships blew against their faces.
"I didn't expect to have a chance to return in this lifetime."
There was no one around. Wei Ci murmured. He stood at the bow of the ship and gazed into the distance.
The wind from the river passed through the mountains and the water, blowing against his face. It blew against his wide sleeves and his headscarf.
Wei Ci volunteered to come to Nansheng not only to persuade Yang Tao to form an alliance.
In reality, it was not difficult to persuade Yang Tao. Any strategist under the lord's command could do it.
Yang Tao was a filial son. His hatred for Zhao Shao was like An Cui's hatred for the four factions of Nanman. He would hack the enemy into pieces even if he had to go to heaven or hell. Being loyal was his strength, but it was also his most fatal weakness.
If not for Yan Lin's old maid's constant reminders, Yang Tao would have courted death long ago.
His experience from his past life told Wei Ci that Yang Tao was not meant to rule the world.
Wei Ci's expression was a little complicated as he thought about what happened in his past life.
In his past life, those who fought with His Majesty for the world either killed themselves because they could not stand the failure or were beheaded by His Majesty. Most of them did not have a good ending. It was not that His Majesty could not tolerate them. On the contrary, these feudal vassals had been raised by the chaos of the world.
How could they be willing to be under someone else when the world was at peace?
They always had various concerns. They were worried that His Majesty would be afraid of them and harm them.
Rather than struggling at death's door under his old enemy, it was better to end it all. If he died before the chaos ended, he would be considered a hero of his generation.
Yang Tao was the odd one out among them.
His Majesty used powerful troops to suppress Yang Tao. Yan Lin was defeated and fell into the trap.
Guess what that brat Yang Tao did?
He was willing to give up everything in exchange for Yan Lin's life.
At that time, Yang Tao still had an extremely rich territory. If he gathered his troops, he could still resist for a few months.
He surrendered without hesitation.
Yan Lin was so angry that he picked up his weapon and hammered Yang Tao.
Wei Ci really wanted to cry out for His Majesty. His Majesty was not a narrow-minded person.
In his past life, when Yang Tao surrendered, His Majesty did not make things difficult for his family. He even gave him the important task of leading troops to conquer the world.
After the Jiang Dynasty was founded, Yang Tao was conferred the title of nobility. Although it was not hereditary, as long as his descendants were successful, at least his family would be able to gain a foothold in the court. That was not all. He was also one of the ten generals who entered the Golden Scale Pavilion.
If the title of nobility was a little exaggerated and somewhat comforting, then entering the Golden Scale Pavilion was a real military achievement.
Of course, the Golden Scale Pavilion in his past life was not the Golden Scale Pavilion of today.
Today, the Golden Scale Pavilion was an academy where countless books were gathered. But in his past life, the Golden Scale Pavilion was also known as "Path to Heaven", meaning to ascend to heaven in one step.
Only civil and military officials who had made great contributions to the people, the court, and the Emperor were qualified to have their portraits placed in the pavilion and enjoy the incense offerings of the royal family and the people. Even if the Emperor came to the Golden Scale Pavilion, he still had to dismount from his carriage and walk to offer incense.
Yang Tao was in the top five. His friend and mother, Yan Lin, was in the top three.
Wei Ci?
No ranking.
Not popular.

This was very sad.
