Logically speaking, Lu Zheng and Jiang Pengji's friendship was not shallow. Why was Lu Zheng indifferent when Jiang Pengji conquered the world?
It was easy to understand. In Lu Zheng's eyes, Jiang Pengji conquered the world and beat other princes everywhere. It was the same as when she blew up people's latrines in the middle of the night. As someone who knew Jiang Pengji's mischievous side, Lu Zheng could not accept that his lord was invincible with words, whipping people with straw ropes, blowing up people's latrines in the middle of the night, kidnapping the bride and forcing the groom to turn gay …
It was fine if one was not frivolous, but Jiang Pengji's dark history was really too much.
If Lu Zheng became Jiang Pengji's aide, he was not sure if she would kill him to silence him if she was unhappy, or if she would drag him to do more unreliable things. Regardless of the former or the latter, it was not what Lu Zheng wanted to see.
In fact, when Lu Zheng heard that Wei Ci sought refuge with Jiang Pengji, he felt pity for him.
This child's chrysanthemum was about to be destroyed.
Why did he say that?
Lu Zheng and Jiang Pengji had a good relationship in the past. The two of them and three other friends who got along well often went out to play.
One time, Lu Zheng found out that Jiang Pengji had not returned from hunting for a long time. He was worried and went out to look for her. He found her sitting on the cliff and overlooking the stream dozens of feet away. Lu Zheng did not dare to make a sound and disturb her, for fear that she would fall off the cliff and die in fear.
He didn't ask until Jiang Pengji discovered his tracks.
"What are you looking at here?"
The young man with a high ponytail smiled and said, "A beauty coming out of the bath."
Lu Zheng's eyes were fixed on her. He said in disbelief, "Who would bathe outside in the wilderness?"
The young man turned her head and the ends of her hair flew in an arc in the air. She supported her chin with one hand and said, "Zixiao is a beauty."
Lu Zheng laughed and scolded, "You really know how to court death. With Zixiao's temperament, if you provoke him, he can kill you."
Everyone in Langye Academy knew that Wei Ci hated people talking about his appearance. The young man in front of him was not afraid of death and dared to tease Wei Ci. Besides, Wei Ci had gone out to visit a friend half a month ago and was not in Langya County at all. Did she have clairvoyance? How could she see people bathing?
The young man smiled and said, "Alright, he's not bathing, but I saw him washing his feet by the stream … Really, a beauty washing her feet looks good too."
Lu Zheng said, "Stubborn."
He did not take the matter to heart. After all, everyone knew that Jiang Pengji was a shameless person who only cared about appearances.
After a period of time, Lu Zheng left to study abroad. Before he left, Jiang Pengji invited him to Langya County's Wangshan Pavilion for a drink.
The two of them had drunk quite a lot of wine, and the ground was covered with wine jars.
At this moment, Lv Zheng vaguely heard Wei Ci's slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice coming from behind the dense thicket.
Listening carefully, it turned out that a certain scholar was pestering Wei Ci. His behavior was frivolous and his words were impetuous. One could tell at a glance that he was a bad person.
Jiang Pengji lifted the wine jar and gave him a good beating. Wei Ci glanced at Lu Zheng, who followed closely behind, and left Wangshan Pavilion without saying anything.
"Why did he leave? I'm still waiting for him to devote himself to me … Isn't this the plot of a hero saving a damsel in distress? "
Lv Zheng scolded jokingly, "Come on, Zixiao doesn't have any sexual fetishes. Don't covet him."
Jiang Pengji said, "Believe it or not, Wei Zixiao is interested in me."
Lv Zheng said, "It's faster in your dreams."
Jiang Pengji said, "He looks down on my charm. How about we bet on this?"
"Bet on what?"
Jiang Pengji said, "If Zixiao becomes mine in the future, under the premise that it doesn't violate the morality of a gentleman, you have to agree to one of my requests."
Lv Zheng hesitated and asked, "This request isn't to be in cahoots with you. You kill people and I'll hand over the knife, right?"
Jiang Pengji said, "As a member of the F5 Heavenly Group of Langya Academy, why are your thoughts so dishonest?"
At first, Lv Zheng did not know what the "Love Five Heavenly Group" was. He was confused when he heard it.
Jiang Pengji said that it was a group with similar interests, so he understood and tacitly agreed to be a cult. "Don't worry, don't think so badly. Maybe one day I'll become a minister and be conferred the title of king or marquis. I'll let you work for me. With me as the leader of the F5 Heavenly Group, I'll definitely share some soup with you. I'll guarantee you a lifetime of glory, splendor, and wealth. Thinking about it, don't you think I'm very loyal? "
Lv Zheng wanted to beat the brat to death.
"You eat the meat and I drink the soup? Liu Lanting, you brat, who gave you the courage to say that? "
To hell with similar interests. What Love Five Heavenly Group? Just cut ties with them.
All signs showed that Jiang Pengji had been coveting Wei Ci for a long time.
However, a gentleman did not comment on other people's quarrels. Lv Zheng could not keep Wei Ci away from Jiang Pengji without evidence.
Taking a step back, Wei Ci was a student in his twenties and had long since left Langya Academy. He did not have much interaction with Jiang Pengji.
He never expected that after many years, Jiang Pengji, the brat, would no longer harm Langya County. Instead, she would harm the world.
Wei Zixiao did not choose the feudal vassals but chose the brat who coveted his chrysanthemum.
This was probably fate.
When Lv Zheng heard that Jiang Pengji was causing trouble, he did not go to his old classmate. Instead, he slipped away with his boy servant.
He was afraid of Jiang Pengji. He was afraid that one day he would receive news of her forcing Wei Ci, but he was also afraid that she would use her promise to make him drink soup.
Later, when Jiang Pengji announced her identity as a woman to the world, Lv Zheng avoided her even more. He could not imagine that the brat who was invincible with words, who could whip people with straw ropes, who blew up latrines in the middle of the night, who kidnapped the bride and forced the groom to be gay … was actually a woman!
The scholars in Langya County would avoid her when they saw her.
"I'm afraid they'll be worried to death."
Lv Zheng pitied the people in Jiang Pengji's camp.
As the saying went, it was easier to change a leopard than a leopard. With such an unreliable lord, he was afraid that he would go bald from worry.
When Lv Zheng found out that Hua Yuan had imagined a "Liu Xi" personality, he panicked. No one could stop that woman from courting death.
After carefully observing for a while, he realized that compared to the original, Hua Yuan was quite normal.
Rather than saying that Hua Yuan had imagined a "Liu Xi," it would be more accurate to say that he had imagined a "Liu Xi" that he thought he was.
Was it because Hua Yuan's essence was not high enough, or was it because the original's personality was too difficult to replicate?
Sigh, different people saw different things.
Preparing for war was too boring, and Lv Zheng was gradually made a figurehead by Hua Yuan. To him, time passed slowly.
With nothing to do, Lv Zheng calmed down and picked up the calligraphy that had been neglected for many years. Occasionally, he listened to his boy servant talk about gossip to kill time.
There were many types of gossip. Among them, gossip about love affairs was the easiest to spread.
For example, when his lord, An Cui, was having a banquet, someone said, "I heard that the Princess's dancing skills are outstanding." He ordered the Princess of Xichang to dance in a thin shirt to liven things up. For example, Hua Yuan liked the prince's boy toy … All kinds of gossip made Lv Zheng frown.
"Master, there is a guest outside the residence. He claims to be your old friend."
"Old friend? Who? "
The boy servant said, "That person's surname is Fang."
Fang?
Old friend?
After thinking about it, there was only one old friend with the surname Fang.
