Seeing his lord return, Qiguan Rang still felt uneasy.
Seeing Jiang Pengji alive and well, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Qiguan Rang initially suggested Qin Gong and Baining to lead the troops and inform them of the plan in private.
However, his lord refused and insisted on leading the troops herself. When he asked for the reason, she remained silent.
Qiguan Rang felt that it was both a blessing and a pain to have such a lord.
It was a blessing to have such a tacit understanding with his lord, but he was always on the verge of death. It was painful to spread his wings.
"How's the battle situation?"
Jiang Pengji got off the horse's back and raised her hand to stroke White's mane. It rubbed against her hand intimately, panting heavily.
White was a top-notch warhorse, but it wasn't made of iron. It had fought for so long with Jiang Pengji on its back and exhausted its strength.
Qiguan Rang roughly explained the situation. The overall data was not too different from the battle report Jiang Pengji had received.
Apart from a small group of defeated soldiers who fled, the rest were either dead or captured. The casualties were extremely heavy.
Qiguan Rang said, "After this battle, the Nie family will never have a chance to rise again. The opportunity for our army to conquer Zhongzhao is right in front of us."
Including the troops and horses lost while Nie Liang was still alive, the Nie family had lost 260,000 troops when they attacked Zhanjiang Pass.
These troops were the Nie family's assets. Losing them all at once, the Nie family didn't even have their underpants left.
There were many feudal lords in Zhongzhao, but only Nie Liang had the ability to fight against Jiang Pengji.
Who knew that Nie Liang would die early, followed by repeated defeats. In the last battle, they lost their underpants.
In other words, it was only a matter of time before they conquered Zhongzhao.
At the thought of his lord extending her hand to the big cake that was Zhongzhao, Qiguan Rang trembled with excitement.
"Zhongzhao?" Jiang Pengji raised her hand to rub her forehead, but her palm touched the dried blood clot. She froze for a moment and put her hand down without a trace. She said tiredly, "Let's put the matter of Zhongzhao aside for a while. Let the soldiers rest and conserve their energy."
Qiguan Rang looked at her carefully and noticed that her eyes were bloodshot. Her eyes were also a little red. It seemed that she was really tired.
"If that's the case, then we'll follow the lord's wishes and take a break for now. Let Zhongzhao fight among itself for a while."
The corners of Jiang Pengji's lips curled up reluctantly.
"Oh yes, there's a captive … Does my lord want to see him?" Qiguan Rang asked, "Isn't my lord curious about why Zixiao isn't here?"
Jiang Pengji said, "That captive is related to Zixiao? Could it be his eldest brother, Wei Qiu? "
Qiguan Rang smiled and said, "My lord is still as powerful as ever. You guessed correctly in one go. It is indeed Wei Qiong."
Jiang Pengji tightened her grip on the reins and suddenly thought of something. She said coldly, "We'll see tomorrow. I'm really tired today."
Qiguan Rang seemed to understand something. He sighed and said, "Yes."
The two of them didn't say it clearly, but they understood each other's meaning.
It was impossible for Jiang Pengji to recruit Wei Dan. It was not that she was not charming enough, but Wei Dan was bound to Nie Liang. He could only be destroyed and not transferred.
She said that she did not want to see Wei Dan, but she wanted to set aside a night for Wei Ci and Wei Dan to have a good time together.
What would happen tomorrow, whether Wei Yao lived or died, depended on what Wei Yao thought.
Jiang Pengji hurriedly said a few words and turned off the livestream.
She went to a nearby well to fetch a bucket of water. She looked indifferent when she found that the water in the well was also red. She suddenly lost the thought of washing up.
Qiguan Rang was attentive. He sent a soldier to fetch a bucket of water from a place a mile or two away for her.
Jiang Pengji did not ask someone to boil the water. She directly washed the bloodstains on her body with cold water. Her swollen mind became much clearer.
You Abba: "Your eyes …"
Jiang Pengji said coldly, "What?"
You Abba: "I originally thought that the sequelae of the awakening would not affect you much. It seems that I guessed wrong."
Jiang Pengji used the water as a mirror to look at her eyes. She found that her eyes, which were originally light brown and slightly black, had a tinge of red.
"It's okay. I'll just say that I'm jealous." Jiang Pengji was very open-minded.
You Abba: "Remember to control your emotions. The ancestral genes of the Jiang family are very violent. You have to keep a clear mind."
"I know. I don't need you to remind me again."
Jiang Pengji used a dry towel to wipe her wet hair and suddenly asked a question.
"I remember the old chief said that he would leave the Federation a long time ago. Why are you so clear about the Federation's plans?"
You Abba: "I've been the chief of the army for more than a hundred years. I've seen more classified files than you."
Jiang Pengji laughed. "Is the old chief in love?"
You Abba: "What?
That's a big jump. "
Jiang Pengji said, "The Seventh Army is the first vanguard. When necessary, they will sacrifice a small part of their interests. That's what you taught me. But you said those words to me yesterday. I'm a little surprised. Is the old chief in love and becoming a little woman? His heart has softened? "
You Abba: "Tsk, Jiang Xiaojiu has grown bolder. He even dares to tease me."
You Abba: "When in a position, one has to take care of politics. When not in a position, one doesn't take care of politics. It's normal for one's mentality to change … I'm being too harsh."
Jiang Pengji was silent after reading it.
That night, she copied the Heart-cleansing Incantation.
Wei Ci had taught her that. When she was upset, copying it would help calm her mind.
At the same time, the atmosphere at the Wei brothers' side was very tense.
Wei Ci could be said to have been brought up by Wei Dan. When he was young, Wei Dan was also the one who taught him step by step.
In Wei Ci's heart, Wei Dan was like a brother and a father. He was more like a father than a father.
In their previous lives, the two brothers did not have the opportunity to confront each other at the frontlines. Now that it had been realized, the situation was like this in the end.
"Why … Eldest Brother refused to retreat at the frontlines?"
Wei Dan was considered a core member of the Nie family. If they wanted to retreat, he would definitely be the target of everyone's protection. But in the end, he was captured.
Rather than saying that he was unlucky, it was better to say that Wei Dan had no intention of escaping back.
"If you were me, would you have the face to go back?" Wei Dan asked him.
Wei Ci was speechless.
Wei Dan said, "Zixiao has been smart and quick-witted since he was young. I don't think you're here to persuade him to surrender."
He used a declarative sentence and his tone was firm.
Wei Ci said, "You and I haven't met for many years. We only met briefly in front of Guangshan's tomb … Why don't we take this opportunity to have a good reunion?"
He understood his eldest brother's temperament. It would be useless to persuade him. The other party's position and choice could not be changed with just a few words.
Wei Dan said, "Sure."
Most of the candles on the table were burnt. Wei Dan suddenly asked Wei Ci, "Do you still hate Father?"
Wei Ci's childhood was extremely unfortunate because of his horoscope and the death of his birth mother. This was also partly due to his father's neglect.
Wei Ci avoided the topic and said vaguely, "Those things are already in the past."
Wei Dan said, "Although there are many sons in the family, there are few who can stand. In the future … I'll have to trouble you to take care of everything in the family. "
Wei Ci's hand paused and he said softly, "I won't let outsiders bully them. I'll take good care of them."
Of course, that was all.
