Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and leaned against a wooden pole. She raised her eyebrows as she looked at the training scene in front of her.
"I thought it would take a lot of effort to tame these bandits, or at least ten days to half a month … I didn't expect that you could tame them in just three to five days." She smiled at Xu Ke, who was standing beside her. "They are working very hard."
To prevent any possible hidden dangers, Xu Ke scattered all the bandits he took in and inserted them into the original troops.
However, looking at them now, those who trained so hard that veins were popping out of their foreheads, and it was obvious that they had used all their strength, were actually that group of bandits. In comparison, the original troops were also working very hard, but it was easy to see the difference between them.
That surprised Jiang Pengji.
"Except for a few evil people, most of them are ordinary people. They just want food and a peaceful family. If they had other choices, they wouldn't have taken the risk to become bandits. I only showed them the benefits of being part of the troops. I didn't need to do much else to make them want to stay. In order to stay, they will try their best to show off their abilities … "
To put it bluntly, whoever gave them milk was their mother.
They were willing to follow and work for whoever could give them a good life.
Xu Ke didn't need to say much. He only needed to let the original troops reveal a little about their current treatment.
When it came to these bandits, no amount of flowery words could compare to the benefits they could get.
Jiang Pengji calculated the time in her mind and said, "In a few days, the food from Meng County will be delivered here … We should also prepare in advance. Let's first arrange people to guard the border of Hejian County and Meng County. Let's find out the details of the food team."
Xu Ke heard her mention this and frowned worriedly. He asked, "If they deliver the food, how will we take it? The Liu's can't get involved in this matter to avoid being suspected by the Meng's. But if we let Coach Meng lead the people there in person, I'm afraid that the food team might be deceptive and suddenly attack … If that's the case, won't it put Coach Meng in danger? "
Jiang Pengji laughed and said, "When did I say that I would personally send people to take the food away?"
In fact, Jiang Pengji had no intention of showing her face. The more flaws she revealed, the easier it would be for others to use against her.
"So … Langjun, what do you mean?"
Xu Ke's eyes flashed as if he had thought of something.
"Bamboo pieces." At some point, she was holding a slender piece of bamboo between her fingers. It seemed to have been removed from an old bamboo slip. "We only need to write down what we need to do at each step and let them carry it out themselves. First, order them to put the food in the designated place, then use the bamboo pieces to lure them to another place, lure the tiger away from the mountain, and then move the food away. "
Xu Ming looked hesitant. "But … two thousand dans of food isn't a small amount. Even if we send everyone in the army, we might not be able to move all the food in a short period of time. If the Meng family returns to the future and catches us unprepared, what should we do? "
Jiang Pengji smiled and said mysteriously, "I have my own plan. Just wait and see."
Xu Ke: "…"
He suddenly felt an indescribable pain in the ass. It seemed like he was the brains of the other party, right?
It felt like the roles were completely reversed.
A few days later, the weather was getting warmer and warmer. Most people had already put on light spring clothes.
The good-looking Langjuns wore flower hairpins and powder, long robes with wide sleeves. When they stood in the wind, they looked like they had ascended to immortality.
Jiang Pengji couldn't stand the trend. She still wore no make-up and her clothes were plain and clean. At first glance, she seemed to come from an ordinary family, but if one looked closely at the material of her clothes, one would know that her family wasn't simple.
Jiang Pengji sat in a teahouse at the closest station to Hejian County. She asked the owner of the teahouse to bring her a big pot of tea.
"Lanting, the taste of this tea … It must be hard for you to eat it …"
Qiguan Rang glanced at the clay bowl she was holding and gulped down the tea. He looked at the shabby surroundings and shook his head.
Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes. "Nothing will happen to me if I drink it. Why can't I drink it?"
Compared to the delicate tea she usually drank, the big pot of tea was rough and simple. There was a slightly astringent taste in her mouth.
But the teahouse next to the station was for travelers to quench their thirst. You could drink it for one coin, so you could not expect the taste to be good.
Qiguan Rang looked at Jiang Pengji's image again and again. He found it funny.
At that moment, even if the person in front of him took the initiative to say that she was the Langjun of the Liu Family in Hu County, no one would believe her.
Jiang Pengji was not dressed in her usual refined and refined attire. She was dressed in a dark, coarse brown robe with two patches on her shoulders. Her long hair was tied up high, and the hair tie was made from rice stalks. Her skin was a little darker than usual …
Except for her delicate face and bright eyes, she looked like a farmer's boy.
If she had not come to find him in the Liu Family's carriage, Qiguan Rang would not have recognized her.
"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. But it doesn't seem to make a difference to you. "
Jiang Pengji smiled and raised her eyebrows at him. She said, "Am I that delicate?"
Qiguan Rang coughed. Jiang Pengji said she was not a delicate person, but she said he was.
He decisively changed the topic. He covered his eyes with one hand and looked into the distance.
"You said you wanted me to watch a good show … Where is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there seemed to be smoke rising in the distance. Qiguan Rang's nerves tightened. He instantly understood Jiang Pengji's intention.
"That … That sucker really sent something over?"
Since there were others in the teahouse, Qiguan Rang did not say it too clearly. He used a term that both of them could understand.
Jiang Pengji looked in the direction Qiguan Rang was looking at. She smiled.
"Do you dare to bet with me on whether this is a big fish or a small one?"
Qiguan Rang asked her, "What is a big fish and what is a small fish?"
"More than two thousand is a big fish, and less than two thousand is a small fish. How about that?"
Qiguan Rang hurriedly waved the feather fan in his hand and said, "I won't bet with you. I will definitely lose."
Jiang Pengji had dragged him over to watch the show. She must have known the details of the grain team. If he were to bet with her on the amount of grain in the team, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Whether it was big or small, the person in front of him would not lose. What was the point of betting?
"Boring!"
