They were silent for a while.
Qiguan Rang asked cautiously, "If that's the case, how does my lord plan to deal with it?"
Jiang Pengji snorted and said, "I'll pretend that I don't know for now. I want to see how long that person can endure. I've already found a clue as to his motive … I'm curious to see what his expression will be like when his schemes come to naught. "
Qiguan Rang knew too little about the inside story, so he was confused.
But Jiang Pengji's tone made him shudder with fear.
"Then … then we just leave it like this? Don't we have to take precautions? "Qiguan Rang asked.
Jiang Pengji raised her brows and smiled slyly. She said with certainty, "Before I become the ruler of the world, that person won't lay a hand on me. Not only will he not be a burden, but he will also do his best to help. It's a free gift, so I'll take it. That person thinks that I don't know anything and even set up layers of barriers to mislead me. He doesn't know that sometimes, being too thorough can also be a flaw … "
Qiguan Rang thought that Jiang Pengji was done, so she added another sentence.
"No one else can know about this matter after it comes out of your mouth and passes through my ears."
She never hit someone unprepared. Wei Yuan's reply seemed to have no content, but Jiang Pengji had already grasped the crux of the matter.
Haha …
Scheming, right?
Do you really think that all the smart people in the world are dead?
Since they want to hurt each other, let's see who's more clever.
Jiang Pengji raised her hand and rubbed between her brows. She said, "Wenzheng, help me draft a letter."
Qiguan Rang asked subconsciously, "To whom?"
Jiang Pengji replied, "To my father … Speaking of which, my brother is 12 years old this year. It's not good to always stay in Hejian County. He should have an elder to guide him. I'm busy with work, but my father is free. Let him guide him … Although he's a son of a concubine, his surname is also Liu. If he grows up crooked, won't it be a disgrace to the family? By doing this, we can beat that person up without alerting him. "
Liu She was also very powerful.
Liu Huan, the daughter of Prince Changshou and Wang Huiyun, eventually married into the Dongqing royal family and married the son of the emperor and Wang Huiyun.
They had the same mother but different fathers. The siblings were in a mess. Liu She, the mastermind, gained a wave of sympathy from passers-by.
As for this bastard son … hehe, his identity was also quite impressive.
Who said that women were petty?
When a man held a grudge, his means of revenge were even more terrifying.
Jiang Pengji had never thought that there would be so many demons and monsters gathered in the small backyard of the Liu's.
Qiguan Rang's expression froze. He thought that Jiang Pengji had suffered a great blow, which was why she said that. He looked closely and realized that she was very clear-headed.
"Yes."
Qiguan Rang agreed.
Jiang Pengji happily ended the topic and swept away the gloomy atmosphere from before. She turned to ask Qiguan Rang about his opinion on Yang Si's scheme.
Qiguan Rang appreciated Yang Si's stratagem very much.
He was very good at using fake and real.
Fighting a war was never a simple matter. Strange and treacherous schemes often had unexpected benefits.
They had planted spies in the Red Lotus Group. If they operated properly, taking down Jinmen County was a sure thing.
The only flaw was —
Qiguan Rang's expression was grave.
"My Lord's loyal and devoted elite soldiers and generals, why take the risk?"
The lords of other families wished they could stay at home, always remembering that a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall.
On the other hand, his lord was thinking about how to run out every day.
If she made a mistake, no one knew where she would have run off to.
Previously, there were many people around, so Qiguan Rang did not speak much to persuade her. Now that there were only the two of them, there was no need to worry about many things.
Jiang Pengji was also very straightforward. "Wen Zheng, do you still remember what I was like when you first met me? I did whatever I wanted to do, and no one could force me to do what I didn't want to do. I was the playboy from Hejian County. Ever since I became the magistrate of Xiangyang District, I feel like I've been restrained, like a fierce tiger locked in a cage. The sharp teeth of a fierce tiger are used to bite its prey, not to be admired … "
After hearing this, Qiguan Rang's face turned pale and he hurriedly explained.
"Why would my lord have such an idea? No one else has ever thought of restraining my lord … "
He was really frightened.
It was really frightening to be accused of such a serious crime.
Jiang Pengji said, "I know you're worried about me because I'm your lord, your backbone. If I die, the forces that we've conquered will also collapse. But Wen Zheng … have you ever seen a general cowering behind his soldiers because he's afraid of dying in battle? When hasn't he charged and broken through enemy lines, running at the forefront? I'm your lord, but I can also be a general who is good at war. There's no conflict between the two. "
"Believe me, I'll lead you to the most honorable position in the world."
Those who did not understand Jiang Pengji would think that the youth was too arrogant, arrogant to the extreme.
But those who knew her knew that her arrogance would become reality in the end.
She said leisurely, "Wen Zheng, if you're really worried about me, why don't you take care of the rear so that I don't have to worry about fighting at the frontlines?"
Qiguan Rang was choked by these hooligan words.
When it came to acting shamelessly, who was better at it than his lord?
She played the emotional card, acted pitiful, pretended to be innocent, stirred up emotions, and evaded the topic …
Even if it was Qiguan Rang, he would not be able to handle it.
Hence, many attempts to dissuade her to no avail. It became an established fact that Jiang Pengji would lead the Vanguard Battalion.
The soldiers below did not know the bitterness of the strategists. When they heard that the commander of this expedition was their lord, they all seemed to be on steroids.
The battle had not yet begun, but their morale was already high.
Jiang Pengji was a non-mainstream lord. The place she most often stayed was not the government office, but the woodworking workshop and the military camp. She would patrol there every few days. Occasionally, when she sparred with Li Yun, Meng Hun, and Luo Yue on the drill ground, there would always be soldiers who liked to watch the fun secretly watching.
For many soldiers, their "lord" was not a high and mighty deity. Instead, she was a valiant and extraordinary man with nimble skills.
In layman's terms, Jiang Pengji was very down-to-earth.
Her actions invisibly shortened the distance between the role of the lord and the soldiers, making the former more approachable to the people.
In the face of such a situation, no matter how worried the strategists were, they could only swallow their bitterness.
The soldiers had such high expectations of their lord. If they persuaded Jiang Pengji to withdraw from the frontlines, it would be a huge blow to their morale.
Fengyi County and Chengde County were not far apart. The movement of the troops here had alarmed the Red Lotus Group.
The Tsing Yi Army was already like a grasshopper at the end of autumn. They could not jump around for more than a few days.
If they were to deal with the Tsing Yi Army, there was no need for such a large number of troops.
Obviously, the transfer of troops from Fengyi County was directed at the Red Lotus Group.
When the higher-ups of the Red Lotus Group heard this news, their expressions were as grave as still water.
One by one, they could not help but criticize Jiang Pengji in their hearts.
