If the System wasn't upgrading, it would have jumped out to complain.
Who else would be as narcissistic as she was?
Qiguan Rang sighed and told the truth. "I'm a little nervous about Chief Liu's hospitality."
Jiang Pengji laughed. "Why are you so nervous? My sister is only nine years old. She won't be looking for someone as old as you. So, don't worry. It's good for you that he thinks highly of you. Just accept it. "
Qiguan Rang was speechless.
She had a point!
Unlike Feng Jin, who was rendered speechless by Jiang Pengji, Qiguan Rang was not afraid of her at all.
"Look at that mouth of yours. I wouldn't be surprised if someone taught you a lesson because of your blabbermouth one day."
When Jiang Pengji teased him with a "son-in-law" joke, he really wanted to teach her a lesson.
Jiang Pengji opened her eyes and smiled. "Tsk, you really don't know how to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
Qiguan Rang was suspicious. "Play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses?"
"Those who can outtalk me can't beat me in a fight. Those who can beat me haven't been born yet."
Qiguan Rang was speechless.
He suddenly wanted to be alone.
Jiang Pengji frowned and asked Qiguan Rang, "How do you plan to deal with that?"
Although she did not say it explicitly, Qiguan Rang understood her meaning and instantly understood what she was referring to.
"It's a bit difficult. The Meng's obviously want to protect Meng Liang. I'm afraid Gongcao alone won't be able to do anything. Unless … "Qiguan Rang rolled his eyes and smiled darkly." I can't do it openly. I'll have to resort to trickery. "
Without the protection of the Meng's, who would care about Meng Liang?
"Do you have a plan?" Jiang Pengji asked.
Qiguan Rang thought for a moment and said, "I heard that after the Meng Family Army appeared to quell the rebellion, the County Governor's Manor disappeared without a trace. No one knows if he's dead or alive, and there aren't many rumors about him. I have a guess. What would the County Chief do if he's not dead? I've asked the merchant about the County Military Officer in detail, so I have some confidence in my speculation. "
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Based on that county captain's character, I'm afraid he won't let this go easily. How could he let go of the culprit, Meng Liang, if he could burn down the Prefectural Governor's Mansion and betray the Meng family? Perhaps that person is just hiding his tracks to hunt down Meng Liang! "
"In other words, if Meng Liang is in Hejian County, the County Captain is most likely in Hejian County as well!"
Jiang Pengji listened attentively to Qiguan Rang's words, then laughed. "So, Wenzheng wants to kill with a borrowed knife?"
He openly admitted, "Mr. Gongcao is no match for the Meng family. If you want to take revenge, you can't expose yourself."
If he were to be exposed, even if he had a belly full of anger, he would have to suppress it and endure it.
If Wei Yuan did not have the confidence to extricate himself from this matter, the Meng's would take revenge on him. By then, his family would be ruined and the price to pay would be too high. Based on these considerations, Wei Yuan had to think it over carefully.
Jiang Pengji said, "Wenzheng's thoughts coincide with mine, but I think it's a loss if it's just this."
"A loss? Why do you say that? "
She stood up and said to Qiguan Rang, "Wenzheng, follow me somewhere. You'll know when you see me."
She thought they were going to the Liu's, but she had someone prepare a carriage and they drove out of the city.
Jiang Pengji did not say a word along the way. Qiguan Rang saw it and closed his eyes, pretending to take a nap.
The carriage steadily drove out of the city and toward the farm. The road was bumpy.
But the shock absorption system of the carriage was pretty good, so the bumps were bearable.
When the driver stopped the carriage and brought out the stool, Qiguan Rang finally lost his cool and asked, "What does Lanting want me to see?"
"You'll know in a moment. Come on time, come on time. Look over there."
Jiang Pengji jumped out of the carriage willfully, but Qiguan Rang stepped on the stool in a polite manner.
Looking in the direction that Jiang Pengji was pointing, he saw more than a dozen figures running out from the dense forest.
The weather was cool, but they looked like they had just been fished out of a river. Their clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to their skin, revealing the contours of their muscles. Their lips were pale, and sweat kept dripping down their cheeks.
Taking a closer look, he found that these people's shoulders were covered with a layer of cotton wool, and they were carrying a bamboo basket on their shoulders. Looking at their strenuous movements, the sweat on their foreheads, and the depth of their footprints, it could be seen that the weight in the basket was quite considerable.
"These?" Qiguan Rang was confused.
"The troops. Mine." Jiang Pengji gave a brief explanation. The dozen or so people jogged past them as if they did not see the two of them. Their panting sounds could be heard. "Wen Zheng, take a look and see if these people are lacking something."
Qiguan Rang took a closer look. "Why isn't there a leader …"
At this point, he subconsciously paused and suddenly tilted his head to look at Jiang Pengji.
"There's no spirit. It doesn't look like training. It's more like they're being tortured. To them, it's just a mission, not a fight for their lives. They're still missing a leader who can unite them."
"Are you saying … you want to … Aren't you afraid of the Meng's revenge?"
Qiguan Rang sucked in a breath of cold air. Even though he had an arrogant personality, he was still shocked by her audacity at this moment.
She had hinted very clearly that she wanted to recruit the captain who had escaped.
"So what?" Jiang Pengji said indifferently, "They relied on their ancestors to get to where they are today. They don't think about improving themselves, and each generation is more useless than the last. Who knows, when the nest is overturned, there will be no unbroken eggs? Dongqing is in danger, and the Meng's can't do anything about it. "
Qiguan Rang was so shocked that he forgot to speak.
He had thought about her words thousands of times in his heart, but he did not dare to say that the country was about to pass away.
Jiang Pengji snorted disdainfully. "As far as I know, the four factions of Nanman and Nansheng are going to have a winner soon. Do you think that Dongqing is connected to Nansheng and has internal and external troubles? If Nansheng is defeated and asks for help, can Dongqing still stay out of it and live peacefully? "
If Nansheng was destroyed by the four factions of Nanman, Dongqing would have to face the joint attack of the four factions of Nanman and the three tribes of the Northern Borderline.
In order not to fall into such a situation, if Nansheng came to ask for help, Dongqing would have to lend them.
Here was the problem. Dongqing emphasized culture and restrained martial arts. The only military general they could send out was the residence of the Count of Zhenbei. Furthermore, the current government was eyeing the military power in the residence of the Count of Zhenbei and saw them as a thorn in their side. Was there still a chance to turn the situation around?
