Both of them clearly had the intention to cooperate, but they still tried to trick each other.
The viewers in the streaming room were dumbfounded. They thought An Cui would become Jiang Pengji's strategist. They were already prepared to laugh.
Some of them brought over a bench to eat melon seeds. They sat and watched how the streamer tricked someone into coming over and then threw heavy administrative tasks to An Cui.
Casserole Mutton Chop with Noodles: "Haha, I love watching the streamer trick people. Thinking about how Feng Zhen used to have a cheap mouth, the streamer forced him to quit eating Hanshi powder in order to exploit him. I went to find out what withdrawal symptoms were, and then my heart ached for him. "
Charcoal Roasted Enoki Mushroom: "Tsk tsk, how many workers have been tricked by the streamer? Just look at Feng Zhen. He's very unrestrained, but that's in the past. Now he has to tremble with fear when he drinks every day, afraid that a pair of eyes is staring at him from a corner. How pitiful. "
Sprite and Cola: "I'm betting on a cucumber. Guess how many rounds the streamer will need to take down An Cui?"
Yipan Tofu: "I'm not betting. I'm on the streamer's side anyway."
Today's Dinner: "I'm on the streamer's side too. She'll definitely take him down within 30 rounds!"
A group of salted fish in the pool who only knew how to cheer for the streamer discussed noisily.
However, as the two conversed, the onlookers felt that something was wrong.
Why … did it not feel like she was taking in a follower?
Was it their imagination?
Jiang Pengji sighed worriedly. "I only have 20,000 troops. Although the Red Lotus Group is a motley crew, they claim to have 100,000 members. It's not easy to deal with them. I also want to remove this tumor, but I'm alone. I'm afraid I can't do it alone. "
An Cui took advantage of the situation and volunteered himself.
"If you don't mind, why don't I be your pawn and open the way for you?"
The two had only known each other for a short period of time, but they were already calling each other "brother" and "brother An," as if they were very close.
Jiang Pengji's heart skipped a beat. She looked somewhat puzzled.
"Brother An, what do you mean?"
An Cui said, "We can work together from within and without. Although I don't have much ability, I have some confidants in the Red Lotus Group that can be of great use. Brother, you only have 20,000 troops, but each of them is good at fighting and can fight 10 of them alone. With the help of our spies, the Red Lotus Group will not be destroyed! "
Jiang Pengji revealed a slightly tempted expression, but she wanted to say something but stopped herself. She deliberately kept An Cui's heart in suspense.
After a while, she finished deliberating and said hesitantly, "If that's the case, I'll feel very sorry. Coordinating from the inside would certainly be extremely dangerous. If Brother An were to be careless and be discovered by the traitors of the Red Lotus Group, wouldn't that be harming Brother An? No, no, I can't take the risk. "
Ann almost couldn't catch her breath. That wasn't how the script was written.
He said, "Everything has a risk. How can one give up eating for fear of choking?"
Jiang Pengji looked hesitant. Her gaze kept drifting in the direction of Wei Ci and Feng Zhen, as if she couldn't make up her mind.
Feng Zhen raised his eyebrows and deliberately chose not to respond, but Wei Ci had no choice but to cooperate.
"My lord, I think this is feasible." In order to cooperate with Jiang Pengji's performance, Wei Ci had no choice but to put on a confident and slightly arrogant attitude. "Although the Red Lotus Group has a large number of members and claims to have 100,000 members, they are undisciplined and undisciplined. In addition, the Red Lotus Group secretly exploits the people and defrauds them of their wealth with their teachings. There are countless victims and complaints. If we can join forces with Mr. An, my lord will attack from the outside and Brother An will coordinate from the inside to deal with the people who are dissatisfied with the Red Lotus Group. Will we have to worry about not being able to take down Chengde County? "
The Red Lotus Group's operations were focused on Chengde County. With Chengde County as the center, they expanded to other places, deceiving countless people along the way.
If Chengde County fell, it was equivalent to uprooting the foundation of the Red Lotus Group. The other scattered strongholds could be slowly cleaned up.
Jiang Pengji nodded in agreement. "Zixiao is right, but the original plan was to send troops in spring. It's still the middle of winter now …"
She agreed. Ann felt that his opportunity had come.
He cupped his hands in front of his chest and said, "Brother, don't be anxious. This matter is of great importance and should indeed be planned slowly. Brother, you have long had the intention to uproot the evil group and benefit the people. This is a great deed. There are still a few months before spring. I can also take advantage of this time to properly deploy and try to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "
Jiang Pengji continued to act. As a "silly, sweet, and passionate lord without much experience in the martial world," how could she take advantage of him?
"In that case, I will first thank you on behalf of the people, Brother An. Brother An is benevolent and righteous. If we can completely uproot the Red Lotus Group and save the people in the north who are suffering and being bewitched, this move will surely be remembered for generations to come. " Jiang Pengji seemed very excited. She couldn't wait to do something big right now. She said, "If it succeeds, Brother An will have contributed a lot. How can Lanting claim all the credit?"
An Cui had been waiting for Jiang Pengji to say this.
He said self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a stray dog. I'm already satisfied to be able to do what I can to benefit the people. I don't ask for anything more."
Jiang Pengji said enthusiastically, "Brother An, why do you have to belittle yourself? So what if you don't have troops? With your ability, you will have them in the future. How about this, if we conquer Fengyi County, Brother An will get 10% of the money and manpower we obtain? "
An Cui's heart beat uncontrollably.
10%?
He had indeed thought of coaxing some benefits, but he had never thought that this silly and bold person would be so generous. She would ask for 10% of the money and manpower!
The Red Lotus Group's ill-gotten gains were far more than 10 million. Even if it was only 10%, it would still be a huge figure.
With money and the 10% of manpower that he would get, An Cui would be able to slowly build up his power. Perhaps he could even go further!
An Cui had been lurking in the Red Lotus Group for several months. He had carefully managed to build up some manpower, but there were only a few hundred of them.
If he could help Jiang Pengji conquer Chengde County, his manpower and wealth would increase by dozens of times!
He was already tempted, but he still had to be humble on the surface. "I'm just providing support. I don't have any great merits. How can it compare to you leading troops to exterminate the evil sect? No, no, this gift is too heavy. I'm ashamed to accept it. "
Jiang Pengji was so "enthusiastic." She was a proper "foolish son of a landlord." How could she take back the profits she had promised?
The two of them pushed back and forth for a few rounds. Under Jiang Pengji's "coercion," An Cui reluctantly accepted the heavy "thanks."
With a common cooperation, the atmosphere was naturally harmonious. They addressed each other as "Brother An" and "Younger Brother." They were like a pair of iron brothers.
Feng Zhen was the first to lose it. He got goosebumps all over his body and found an excuse to sneak away.
He even pulled Wei Ci away at the same time.
The two of them whispered to each other.
"My lord is too generous. 10% of the wealth and manpower. She's like a foolish son of a landlord."
Feng Zhen was as talkative as ever.
Wei Ci laughed. "My lord's focus is on the northern part of Dongqing. She can't take care of other forces. It's not bad if she can make An Cui a target. Besides, An Cui's enemies are the four factions of Nanman. The latter even destroyed Nansheng. Why would they be afraid of An Cui? "
Even in his previous life, An Cui had to squander years of Wei Ci's painstaking efforts. Coupled with the locust plague in the Nansheng tribe, he was lucky to win.
The four factions of Nanman were still at their peak. If An Cui wanted revenge, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
Wei Ci continued.
"You don't know how big of a hidden danger the diehard members of the Red Lotus Group are. None of them can be left alive."
Even without An Cui, Wei Ci wanted to privately suggest to Jiang Pengji to slaughter all the higher-ups of the Red Lotus Group.
