Lu Zheng was not the type of person who would sit and wait for death. It was just that he was old now, and his words were not as sharp and straightforward as when he was young.
Therefore, he mocked Jiang Pengji for not winning against An Cui honorably, saying that it was all because of An Cui's incompetent teammates that she could achieve what she had today.
Jiang Pengji twirled the chess pieces and thought about her next move so that Lv Zheng would lose more rhythmically.
"I didn't plant a spy around Ann."
She thought that Lv Zheng was mocking her for using spying to trick An Cui.
Even though this was a normal battle maneuver, and it wasn't a low level one, she wouldn't admit that she hadn't done it before.
Lu Zheng thought of the annoying Hua Yuan and the even more annoying Liu Xi personality. He sneered and said nothing.
"You're the only one I know among Andy's bunch of crooks. You can't be a spy that I sent, and I didn't do such a thing. " Jiang Pengji defended herself and ridiculed Lu Zheng at the same time. She continued, "Besides, luck is also a part of one's strength. If he really wants to blame someone, he can only blame An Cui for not being able to see through people and trusting the wrong person. How can he blame me for being too powerful and having a keen eye? "
Lu Zheng: "…"
Sure enough, it was a familiar taste, a familiar venomous tongue, and a familiar narcissism.
"It's not anyone else. It's Hua Yuan."
To prevent Jiang Pengji from continuing to be narcissistic and disgusting, he chose to take the initiative to explain.
Jiang Pengji was astonished.
She had a very good memory, so she naturally knew who Hua Yuan was. Wasn't he that unlucky guy with schizophrenia?
"Shaoyin, I don't understand what you're saying. I've only met Hua Yuan once. What can I possibly instigate in him? "
In the past, Hua Yuan represented An Cui and formed an alliance with Jiang Pengji. They only met once. What could Jiang Pengji do in such a short time?
Lu Zheng sighed and said, "Hua Yuan has gone mad."
A good counselor turned out to be a lunatic. It really made people sigh.
Jiang Pengji vaguely felt that the words sounded familiar.
She secretly glanced at Wei Ci. Wei Ci had said something similar to her before.
"I know that. I had a feeling when I first met him. His mind was a little abnormal. But so what? "
"He lost his mind and imagined himself to be Liu Xi. He imagined himself to be you, so how could he sincerely assist An Cui? "
Jiang Pengji's hand paused.
"What kind of personality did this lunatic split into?"
Lv Zheng did not understand, so Jiang Pengji changed the way she asked.
"I mean, who does Hua Yuan think he is?"
Lv Zheng didn't say anything. He just silently looked at her.
The meaning was clear.
After Jiang Pengji recovered from her shock, she quickly accepted the setting.
"So what? Without Hua Yuan, I'll be able to take down An Cui within the year. "
Lu Zheng said faintly. "Arrogant and conceited."
If Hua Yuan had not interfered, Lu Zheng would have been the one assisting An Cui.
Would he allow Jiang Pengji to destroy the An Cui line of defense within a year and conquer the entire territory?
Jiang Pengji smiled. "This is called knowing one's limitations. I never exaggerate my abilities."
Lu Zheng could not help but roll his eyes.
Although "Liu Xi's personality" had only been online for a short period of time, his destructive power was very strong.
He still insisted that Jiang Pengji had won with the help of the enemy's stupid teammates.
Little did he know that Lu Zheng was holding onto Wei Ci's script in this life.
Wei Ci could pat his chest and guarantee that in his previous life, Her Majesty had won against Nansheng without doing anything.
In his previous life, An Cui had insisted on using all his troops to wipe out the four factions of Nanman. He had won, but his strength had been greatly damaged. In the end, Her Majesty, his neighbor, had picked up the spoils. Wherever the army passed, there was almost no decent resistance. They were like a hot knife through butter, and they had forced An Cui to his death. Recently, Wei Ci had rarely thought about his previous life. Now that he looked back, he realized that his old master An Cui had not lived as well as he had in his previous life.
In his previous life, he had at least committed suicide with dignity. In this life, he had been forced to the altar and killed by his lord.
After placing the chess piece, Jiang Pengji asked Lv Zheng, "Did Hua Yuan do anything disgusting?"
Although it was a personality created by Hua Yuan, this personality called himself "Liu Xi." Whenever she thought of what disgusting things he had done with this identity, Jiang Pengji felt uneasy. It did not cause her any substantial harm, but it was disgusting.
As soon as she asked, she remembered something.
She had previously received information that one of the siblings from the Xichang royal family whom she had chased away had been kept by An Cui, and the other had been given to Hua Yuan as a reward?
In an instant, Jiang Pengji's face turned green.
She wanted to kill Hua Yuan with her own hands, and no one could stop her!
Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Pengji had made up her mind to kill Hua Yuan, Hua Yuan had disappeared.
She was not mistaken, he had disappeared.
At first, no one paid much attention to it, but when the old housekeeper realized that his master had not returned for two consecutive days, he sent someone to the magistrate's office to inquire. Only after asking did he find out that they had not seen Hua Yuan for a day or two. The servant's heart thumped, and he hurriedly passed the news to the old housekeeper.
All the servants and maids in the manor were sent out to search. They inquired along the way, and after a thorough search, they finally found some clues.
Some people who had witnessed it said that someone who looked like Hua Yuan had staggered out of the north of the city. They searched along the way, but they soon lost track of him.
Only then did everyone realize a serious problem.
Hua Yuan … did not seem to be pretending to be crazy. He was really crazy!
"What should we do now?"
Not only were the servants and maids in Hua Yuan's manor panicking, but Hua Yuan's former colleagues were also panicking. Those old foxes who had been fighting openly and covertly even stopped fighting. They knew how much the late lord, An Cui, valued Hua Yuan. The latter held considerable military power. If they wanted to gather their troops and work together to resist the invading Jiang Pengji, Hua Yuan could not be lost. Now that Hua Yuan had gone completely crazy, what could they do if he left them behind?
"What else can we do? Search! I don't believe that we can't find him even if we dig three feet into the ground! "
Heaven always failed those who tried. After half a month, they still could not find Hua Yuan's whereabouts. Instead, they found a lot of specious clues. They sent people to search, but they found nothing every time. They went around in circles, almost turning the ground upside down, but they did not even see Hua Yuan's shadow. To be honest, if not for the fact that Hua Yuan had really gone crazy, they would have suspected that this was another trap set by Hua Yuan.
With so many internal troubles and endless external troubles, they could only temporarily put aside the matter of Hua Yuan's disappearance and focus on fighting the enemy.
However, Jiang Pengji did not care whether they were ready to fight or not. She fought wherever she went, and she did not stop along the way. She was like a hot knife through butter. The old officials in An Cui's camp were not blind. In fact, they were better at protecting themselves than anyone else. Seeing that the situation was hopeless and that Jiang Pengji was destined to win, they planned to lead their troops and surrender before Jiang Pengji used force to break open the city gates.
Was surrendering something shameful?
Of course not. This was called obeying fate!
Autumn had just arrived that year, and the city gates of An Cui's old nest were opened to welcome the new lord.
To show their sincerity, they presented Jiang Pengji with a "gift" that had a special meaning.
Looking at the Xichang Princess's pregnant belly, which was about to give birth, Jiang Pengji's expression changed.
Using a pregnant woman and a posthumous child of the late lord to ask for credit from the new lord was really a cunning move.
