Jiang Pengji had long foreseen the outcome of Nansheng's defeat, but she did not expect that the news of them asking for reinforcements had only just reached Dongqing. Coincidentally, they bumped into the marriage team of the three tribes of the Northern borderline. Dongqing would be in trouble.
Although Dongqing and Nansheng had conflicts, they were still considered part of Great Xia, while the three tribes of the North borderline and the four tribes of Nanman were considered outsiders.
In layman's terms, Dongqing and Nansheng were two sons of the same father. Even if they were separated, their bones were still connected. However, the three tribes of the North borderline and the four tribes of Nanman were foreign enemies who coveted their family property. In order to protect the family property of their ancestors, the two countries had to temporarily put aside their grudges and join forces.
If Nansheng was really defeated by the iron cavalry of the four factions of Nanman, Dongqing would face the danger of being attacked from both sides by the three tribes of the Northern Borderline and the four factions of Nanman. The annihilation of the country was just around the corner. Therefore, Dongqing had no choice but to lend Nansheng troops to Dongqing. Both parties were interdependent!
However, if they borrowed troops, it would definitely affect the military strength of Dongqing's border defense. The military strength used to resist the northern borderline would also be affected.
The three tribes of the Northern Borderline had been at war with Dongqing for many years. They had always won more than they lost. Dongqing was courting death by promoting "emphasizing culture and restraining military force." It was foreseeable that after Nansheng came to borrow troops, Dongqing's military strength in the Northern Borderline would be thinned. It was no wonder that the envoy from the Northern Borderline was so fearless!
Liu She sighed and said, "The three tribes of the Northern Borderline have been coveting Dongqing for a long time. I only hope that you are clear-headed and don't let the wolf into the house. Marriage is not a permanent solution … but it seems that it is too late …"
Feng Ren looked at his son with pity. His heart ached when he saw his son's pale face.
He sneered coldly when he heard Liu She's sigh. He despised the man sitting on the throne.
Although Feng Ren knew that he would not get any justice in the palace this time, he still wanted to let the emperor know that the Feng family was not a pushover!
Feng Ren cupped his hands and apologized to Liu She. Then he left with his son, whose wound had just been treated. His face was as cold as ice.
After experiencing such a thing, many people no longer had the leisure to soak in the spring.
Suddenly, someone patted Jiang Pengji's shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to be so skilled in martial arts! It made one want to shout out in satisfaction. I don't like those bastards either. It's just that I can't beat them up like you. It is said that the warriors of the Northern Borderline are fearless of death, but from what I see now, it seems that they are not as powerful as you. "
She resisted the urge to subdue him and turned her head calmly. It turned out to be the young man who had tried to get close to her before.
Jiang Pengji warned him expressionlessly, for the sake of the words "grandson of a b * tch."
"I don't like people patting my shoulder from behind. If you're a stranger, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your arm."
The other party was stunned, and he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
"I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age."
As they were talking, the group returned to the Rose Courtyard's Sky Room 1.
Separated by a corridor, Jiang Pengji noticed a tall and slender figure in white standing in the corridor.
The man's ink-black hair draped over his shoulders, faintly revealing his pale, tightly pursed lips and a slight chin.
Perhaps he heard the footsteps, but he turned around slightly. His indifferent gaze swept around and fixed on Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji had fought with someone, so her clothes were inevitably stained with blood. If she didn't look relaxed, people who didn't know would think that the blood was hers. However, Wei Ci was very clear that this woman was not the one who was at a disadvantage. The blood could only belong to someone else.
Thinking of this, Wei Ci moved his gaze away calmly and asked the young man who was familiar with Jiang Pengji.
"Shaoyin, what's going on?"
"A group of boorish men who claimed to be envoys from the Northern Borderline were causing trouble in front. A servant from the Feng Residence came to Lanting for help. Out of curiosity, I followed them to take a look. I didn't expect those people from the Northern Borderline to be so arrogant. They bully Dongqing. How hateful. " The young man's voice was filled with resentment, but he immediately resumed his playfulness. "Zixiao, let me tell you, Master really took in a good student. She's really good at fighting."
"A servant from the Feng Residence?" Wei Ci frowned and glanced at Jiang Pengji, who looked normal.
Wei Ci had always known that she was good at fighting. Not to mention a few warriors from the Northern Borderline, if she had a spear, she could easily kill her way in and out of the enemy's formation more than ten times. She could take the head of the enemy's general as easily as taking something out of her pocket.
But … he sighed slightly in his heart. It was indeed different. He rarely saw this person show an expression other than indifference.
If it was in the past, she …
Thinking of this, Wei Ci firmly suppressed the thoughts in his heart and calmed his mind. Facing this woman, he needed to be 120% vigilant. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would have nowhere to hide in front of her … He had experienced this a long time ago.
Jiang Pengji explained, "Feng Jin is my good friend. He was bullied, so I naturally had to go over and support him. What's more, those boorish men from the Northern Borderline are really annoying. I gave them a light punishment, or else I would have nowhere to vent my anger. "
What a joke. Beating her partner was the same as beating her. Of course, she had to get back at them.
"You didn't just give them a light punishment just now. You made them lose their courage. To deal with the ambitious foreign tribes from the Northern Borderline, you should use such a forceful method. If you talk about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and trust with them, they will only think that you are afraid of them … "Shaoyin placed both hands on Jiang Pengji's shoulders. With an expression of experience, he said warmly," In the future, when we go to Langye Academy, I will protect you. "
Wei Ci silently glanced at Lu Zheng's hands. His eyes gradually darkened.
"I said, don't pat my shoulder from behind …" Jiang Pengji repeated.
"My name is Lu Zheng. Master gave me the courtesy name Shaoyin. Look, we know each other now. We are not considered strangers, right? "
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes and said, "Up to you. If I dislocate your arm next time, don't ask me to take responsibility."
After saying that, Jiang Pengji skillfully shook her shoulders and slid out like a mudfish.
Lu Zheng found that the shoulder under his palm had become extremely soft and smooth. Before he could subconsciously grab it, she had already left his palm.
He could only stare at his hands in a daze. Then he looked at Jiang Pengji's back and sighed.
"You really have good skills."
Wei Ci looked at him coldly. His eyelids slightly narrowed as he said, "When martial arts practitioners reach a certain level, they will be highly vigilant of their surroundings. If an unfamiliar aura tries to approach them, it is extremely easy for them to unconsciously capture it … Shaoyin, be more careful."
Lu Zheng was startled. He suddenly realized that Wei Ci was saying that he was stupid.
"Zixiao, why do you also read such indecent novels from the streets?"
No matter how he looked at it, his words sounded like the standard of a wandering master in a novel from the streets.
"If you don't believe me, try approaching her when she's taking a nap. But if her arm is crippled, I won't take responsibility. "
Wei Ci knew that it was not a rumor from the streets. It was true.
"Hey! Wei Zixiao, you never have good intentions. I won't be fooled. "
