"Although I don't want to admit it, Nie Liang's death … seems to have something to do with me. If we send someone to offer our condolences now, I'm afraid that they won't appreciate it. They'll probably think that we're going there to show off our strength." Jiang Pengji felt that whoever she sent would be courting death.
Envoys are not to be executed during a battle?
Bullsh * t, this kind of conventional rule could be broken at any time. Which fool would stick to it?
Not only did Jiang Pengji and the civil and military officials feel excited, but the salted fish were so shocked that they forgot to eat breakfast. A small group of cute and good-looking people cried until they were out of breath. Topics such as "Nie Liang's death" and "Nie Liang was angered to death by the streamer" were also trending.
Hearing Jiang Pengji's opening words, many of the salted fish sneered.
Long Lasting Tea: What do you mean by 'a little bit of relationship'? From the looks of it, the host had no idea what was going on.
Toudu Feiqiu: "You can't say that. If I remember correctly, Nie Liang is not in good health. Didn't Beauty Ci reveal that Nie Liang had been poisoned in the past? It seemed that it was done by someone from within the Nie family. Nie Liang refused to rest quietly, and the remaining poison greatly reduced his lifespan. Later, it was said that Nie Liang's lifespan was less than half a year … Now that he was dead, the host could only be regarded as a catalyst and not the main cause.
The person who really killed Nie Liang was the original murderer who poisoned him. Jiang Pengji was at most an accomplice.
Always Wicked People Want to Harm Zhen: "Sigh, he's a duke of Zhongzhao after all. It's really sad that he's kneeling just like that."
Unreal City: "Come on, there are plenty of people who have died in the hands of the streamer. So what if they are feudal lords?"
Some salted fish lamented that Nie Liang's death was a pity, some salted fish celebrated that Jiang Pengji was one step closer to unifying the world, and some salted fish expressed concern and condolences. No matter what the cause of Nie Liang's death was, outsiders would think that he died because he was angered by Jiang Pengji. Sending people to offer their condolences was equivalent to sending people to their graves.
Jiang Pengji knew this too. How could she send someone to offer her condolences?
She never expected that Wei Ci would disagree with her at this time. Out of respect for her opponent, she still had to send someone to offer her condolences.
Jiang Pengji said, "I've killed at least eight thousand people, if not ten thousand. Do I have to pay my respects to all of them?"
In any case, she wouldn't agree.
Regardless of their strength, in terms of status, Nie Liang and Jiang Pengji were of the same level.
If she really wanted to send someone to offer her condolences, the status of the messenger could not be low. She was not willing to choose anyone.
Wei Ci volunteered himself. Jiang Pengji was so angry that she glared at him several times. No matter what Wei Ci said, she refused to agree.
"Lord, condolences are one thing, but confirming that Nie Liang really died of illness is another. What if he really faked his death?"
Jiang Pengji said, "Then let's wait for three to five months. Anyway, his body has long been ruined. Sooner or later, he will meet the King of Hell."
Wei Ci could only sigh. Jiang Pengji was stubborn, and so was he. No one was willing to take a step back when it came to issues that concerned the overall situation.
In the end, Jiang Pengji was so angry that she flicked her sleeves and left. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Qiguan Rang said quietly, "You're really bold. The lord obviously wants to protect you from taking risks, but you don't appreciate it."
Wei Ci smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not know the lord's intentions? It's just that Nie Liang died of illness. Whether it's true or not, if the lord doesn't express her stance, I'm afraid you'll be criticized. This is not good for the lord's reputation. The time when Nie Liang died of illness was when the morale of the Nie army was in chaos. No matter what, they didn't dare to kill the messenger when there was no leader. We can't sacrifice the lives of more than 200,000 troops just because of a moment of impulsiveness. "
His lord had a violent temper. If something really happened to the messenger, she would definitely send troops.
Qiguan Rang glanced at him and sneered. "I see. You've thought it through. No wonder you're so fearless."
It was precisely because he saw through the trick that he had the confidence to volunteer for the mission.
Wei Ci continued, "There's another point. Ci's elder brother, Wei Dan, is Nie Liang's confidant …"
Qiguan Rang said coldly, "If I were your elder brother, I would definitely make sure that you wouldn't be able to return. Otherwise, you'll become a scourge by releasing a tiger back into the mountains."
Wei Ci smiled and said, "My elder brother's temperament is different from Wenzheng's. He's good at everything. His only weakness is that he values friendship too much."
If it wasn't for this, Wei Dan wouldn't have tried his best to protect the legitimate son of Nie Liang in his previous life.
The situation in his previous life was very different from now. Nie Liang of the Nie family had died of illness a few years ago. His only son, Nie Qing, became a thorn in the eyes of the elders. The legitimate son of the third branch of the Nie family, Nie Yang, took advantage of the chaos to rise and secretly gained the trust of Old Master Nie.
Old Master Nie was also a weirdo. He was old but young at heart. His greed for power and desire to control his descendants made people's hair stand on end.
He was old and lacked the energy to deal with affairs. In order to ensure absolute authority, Old Master Nie promoted Nie Yang, who "coincidentally" came into his line of sight. Because Nie Yang was young, innocent, not loved by his parents, and his mother's family was weak …
Who would have thought that these were all Nie Yang's disguises.
Nie Yang used Old Master Nie to snatch the position of the Nie family master. He secretly harmed his disloyal fellow clansmen and sent Old Master Nie to heaven.
Nie Clan became Nie Yang's word, and Nie Qing's situation improved.
After all, everyone was afraid of Nie Qing's father, Nie Liang.
Nie Liang died of illness. Nie Qing's talent was not as good as his father's. There was nothing to fear. Raising him was just another pair of chopsticks.
In order to fulfill his best friend's wish and protect Nie Qing, his brother Wei Qiong married his eldest daughter to him. Wei Qiong himself died of depression.
When his brother died of illness, he was not even 50 years old.
It was because he valued his feelings too much that Wei Qiong could not kill him when Wei Ci went to pay his condolences.
Qiguan Rang did not comment, but he would not doubt Wei Ci's judgment of people.
If Wei Ci really went to pay his condolences to Nie Liang, it would most likely be daunting but not dangerous.
The only obstacle was …
His lord did not agree.
"What's the point of saying so much. If the lord doesn't agree, can you go there in private?"
Wei Ci laughed. "The lord will agree. Wenzheng, do you dare to bet with me?"
Qiguan Rang scolded jokingly, "When did you learn Feng Zishi and Yang Jing Rong's bad temperament? What's there to bet? I won't bet!"
Because he knew in his heart that if they really bet, Wei Ci would definitely win.
The facts proved that Qiguan Rang's guess was right. The next day, Jiang Pengji agreed to Wei Ci's request with an extremely sullen expression.
After all, it was not a matter of principle. Jiang Pengji really could not dissuade Wei Ci.
Of course, if it was a matter of principle, Wei Ci could not dissuade her either.
"I suddenly remembered that when my lord's grandmother died of illness, it was Zixiao who went on behalf of my lord …"
Jiang Pengji squatted on top of the wall and looked at the figures of Wei Ci and his group gradually becoming small dots in the distance. Her face was full of melancholy.
She said, "Otherwise, why would I call you my wife? You're so virtuous, what more can I ask for?"
Qiguan Rang's expression froze. He looked disgusted.
Jiang Pengji said with a face full of vicissitudes, "Wenzheng, do you think Nie Guangshan is really dead?"
Qiguan Rang said, "Zixiao will go to pay his condolences. Whether Nie Liang is dead or alive, there will be some clues."
Jiang Pengji said, "What if he's really dead?"
"Doesn't my lord think that this is a good time to seize the opportunity to annex the Nie family of Zhongzhao? Once Nie Liang is dead, Nie Qing won't be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility. The Nie family is full of hidden dangers … It's a good time to seize the victory and pursue the enemy. "Qiguan Rang sneered." What do you think, my lord? "
Jiang Pengji rubbed her chin. "I always feel that it's immoral to scheme for someone's family property the day after their corpse has yet to turn cold."
Qiguan Rang was speechless.
