"Langjun, do you need someone to keep an eye on him?"
Xu Ke asked in a low voice after Meng Hun was out of sight.
"There's no need for that. He'll come back anyway." Jiang Pengji was not worried that Meng Hun could escape. After all, Meng Liang was still in the Liu residence. With Meng Hun's current ability, he could not ignore the Liu residence and kill Meng Liang.
"Oh?" Qiguan Rang said, "Why are you so confident? Why can't Meng Hun wait for Meng Liang to leave? "
Jiang Pengji sneered. "First, the Liu residence and the Meng's are not on good terms. They might not be willing to protect Meng Liang. Meng Hun still has a small chance of succeeding. If Meng Liang contacts his entourage, he will be protected by them. With Meng Hun's current manpower, it will be impossible for him to kill Meng Liang. So, if he wants to make a move, now is the best time. "
Qiguan Rang was speechless. He secretly exchanged a knowing look with Xu Ke.
"I'm a little curious. Why did you suspect that he was Meng Hun from the beginning?" Qiguan Rang asked.
Jiang Pengji heard the question and looked at Qiguan Rang. "Isn't it obvious? I didn't suspect that he was Meng Hun. I was sure that he was from the beginning. Even if he deliberately disguised himself, his technique was clumsy and there were flaws everywhere. "
Qiguan Rang cupped his hands and asked, "Flaws? I wonder if Lanting can clear my doubts? "
"I don't know if any of you have noticed, but the area between his thumb and index finger … that is, there are obvious calluses. That's the mark left behind by playing with weapons like swords, spears, swords, and halberds for a long period of time. He has the waist of a bear and the back of a tiger, and the muscles on his upper arms are knotted. His clothes are old and tattered. He looks like he's down and out. But because of that, his wounds are exposed. "
"There are a lot of deep wounds. From the wounds, we can roughly determine what weapon caused them …"
After Jiang Pengji finished, she added, "From this, we can determine the occupation of the other party."
"Other than that, although this person's toes have bloody blisters from walking, the marks are very fresh. They should have been made recently. The calluses on her feet are old and thin, which means that she once had a hard time. However, it didn't last very long. After that, the boots she wore were all soft and comfortable. Her living conditions improved a lot. Although there are calluses, they aren't thick … "
"Not only that, he is literate. There are traces of painstaking practice on his right hand. If one started to practice calligraphy from childhood, even the most inattentive and crafty students would have their knuckles slightly deformed. The degree of deformity varied from person to person. However, although this person's fingers show signs of calligraphy practice, the knuckles are not deformed. This means that this person has been practicing calligraphy for about nineteen or twenty years, and his body's skeleton is more or less fixed … "Jiang Pengji analyzed as she held out her right hand for them to see.
Qiguan Rang and Xu Ke were both dumbfounded. They could not help but stretch out their hands. There was indeed a little mark on their knuckles.
In order for the two of them to hear her clearly, Jiang Pengji slowed down her speech and tried her best to explain the content in detail so that the two of them would not be able to make sense of it. But even so, after listening to her analysis and the final conclusion, they were even more dumbfounded.
Xu Ke's eyes were filled with shock. He asked after a long time.
"Langjun, you said … you knew the identity of the other party as soon as they met … Does this mean that you have already thought so much when you first saw him?" He swallowed nervously. If that was the case, wouldn't it be a little too scary?
"Something like that."
Jiang Pengji shrugged nonchalantly. She had stood out among so many genetic warriors. How could she not have some concrete evidence?
Qiguan Rang looked down and said, "What's so surprising about that? I have also heard that Master Yuanjing of Langya is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia and is also proficient in physiognomy. Not only can he tell the origin of the person as soon as he sees him, but he can even predict what happened before and after. It's amazing. "
As soon as Xu Ke heard that, a lot of rumors about the demon Yuanjing of Langya floated into his mind. When he put the two of them together, he suddenly felt that compared to him, his Langjun seemed to be in the category of a normal human being. He had not become a demon or a demon …
Jiang Pengji secretly glanced at Qiguan Rang with a hint of warning and sharpness in her eyes.
She still remembered that in her previous life, she had retired from the first echelon of genetic warriors and entered the military to serve as a normal soldier. Her ability was gradually known by the people around her. She had long gotten used to the strange looks and the fear and alienation of the people around her.
Xu Ke was not a big deal. Did she need Qiguan Rang's help to ease the atmosphere? The sky was getting darker.
It was time for Jiang Pengji to return to the Liu's. Xu Ke had to busy himself with the farm, so he naturally could not follow her.
Jiang Pengji's face was still cold when she got into the carriage.
Qiguan Rang clicked his tongue and patted Xu Ke's shoulder.
Young man, good luck.
Xu Ke was confused. What the hell was with Qiguan Rang's pitiful expression?
Jiang Pengji felt that the carriage was already moving. She said coldly, "Next time, you don't have to be a busybody."
Qiguan Rang shook his head disapprovingly and said meaningfully, "Lanting, that's not right."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Pengji's mood was slightly bad when she thought of some unpleasant memories.
"Lanting, do you know what it means to be a ruler?"
Jiang Pengji squinted her eyes and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Continue."
Qiguan Rang continued, "You can't be stubborn and refuse to listen to others. It's important to open up a wide range of opinions. You can't lose yourself. Otherwise, if your subordinates have different opinions, how will the ruler make a choice? You can't be too close to your subjects to avoid messing up the hierarchy. You can't disobey orders and prohibitions. But you can't be too distant and lose the people's trust. In my opinion, ruling a country and ruling a family have the same effect. "
After saying that, Qiguan Rang asked, "If Xiaoyu is really afraid of you, will Lanting let him be?"
Jiang Pengji was silent. Liu She's words appeared in her mind.
"Lanting, you have to learn how to be a ruler. Your eyes can see so many things. This is something that others don't have, and it's also your unique advantage. You should make people respect you, not just fear you. It's a difference of one word, but it's a world of difference. "
Qiguan Rang didn't care how much Jiang Pengji would listen to him. After all, he had already said it.
The so-called way to be a ruler did not have a very specific or general description. It all depended on one's understanding and experience.
Xu Ke was not fully grown yet. His words and actions were inevitably not comprehensive, which made Lanting feel apprehensive.
Lanting had a stubborn temperament. She did not care why Xu Ke had such a reaction, nor would she take the initiative to point it out.
It was fine if it happened once or twice, but if it went on, it was hard to guarantee that it would not leave a hidden crack between them.
