The System was exasperated.
"Hehe, the patrolling merchants are just sanctimonious people. Regardless of whether they are 'reborn' or 'time travelers', once they are discovered, they will be humanely destroyed. In terms of ruthlessness, they are even more ruthless than me. I will at least let the host die of old age, but he won't. "
The System tried hard to dispel Jiang Pengji's idea of stirring up trouble.
If the System didn't need Jiang Pengji to hide its whereabouts and avoid the patrolling merchants, it wouldn't have revealed so much.
It thought that Jiang Pengji would be frightened, but she nodded in agreement.
"There's nothing wrong with enforcing the law impartially."
The System almost couldn't breathe. "Who are you on the same boat with now? Don't forget, you are also a 'stowaway.' If you are caught, the situation will be very serious. You will be killed and your soul will be destroyed … Fine, fine, fine … I promise you, whether it is me or the main body, we will not do anything to hurt you in the future. Big sister, now is not the time to be willful and mischievous. "
Jiang Pengji smiled. "You and I have formed a temporary alliance, but it will fall apart in the end. This kind of promise is as worthless as toilet paper. If you are sincere, answer my question honestly. Is the main body of the system … really in Wang Huiyun's body? Or is the system in her body just a subsystem? Is it just a bait separated from the main body to mess up the world? Answer me, don't hide it. "
The System was stunned. It said, "That's two questions!"
Jiang Pengji snorted. "Then answer the first question. Is the system in Wang Huiyun the main body?"
The System answered very decisively, "No."
Hearing that, Jiang Pengji's lips curled into a cold and mocking smile.
Sure enough, it was not the main body.
In this way, she was even more certain of her previous speculation.
The main body of the system was really well hidden.
It was a pity that she forgot to hide the fox's tail.
She was a qualified hunter, but the System was a failed prey.
She said meaningfully, "I thought my tricks were deep enough. I didn't expect to meet an ancestor who was born to play tricks. However, things like intelligence are destined. No matter how deep the tricks are, people are too stupid … I don't want to know what's wrong with the main body of the system. It cut itself open and divided itself into subsystems, but … please don't let it happen to me again. "
The System secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Since she said that, it should mean that she agreed to cooperate, right?
"I've answered your question. Are you willing to help me now?"
Jiang Pengji blinked and said innocently, "Don't you know that all is fair in war? Making a promise to a gangster leader? The patterns were all broken. An unstamped promise is like a roll of toilet paper to me. I can throw it away after using it. "
The System, "…"
F * ck, Jiang Pengji, you're shameless!
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest. "When will that dimensional patrol merchant arrive? I can report you to him. "
The system snorted twice. "In your dreams. It will take at least ten years. Don't even think about tricking me."
Ten years?
"That long?"
Jiang Pengji asked, "It's been more than ten years. Why are you so eager to seek my protection now? Trying to trick me again? "
The System said in a contemptuous voice, "You are a human. How long do you have to live? I'm a system. Time is cheap to me. To you, it takes up one-fifth of your life. To me, it's only three to five days, or even a few hours. Mortal, don't use your time to measure my time. As an almost eternal existence, you are but a mayfly to me that is born and dead! "
Tremble, lowly human.
Jiang Pengji responded with an "oh." She was not provoked by the System's words. She stabbed back bitterly.
"Congratulations! Then you can go to prison in three to five days. I can still be free and unfettered for more than ten years before I'm destroyed by the dimensional merchant. "
The System, "…"
F * ck, where did the director find such a hateful female protagonist?
Jiang Pengji sneered. She buried what happened that night in the bottom of her heart. It did not stir up the slightest ripple.
With the System, it seemed that it was not unacceptable for there to be any dimensional patrol merchants.
Just as the System said, "reborn" or "time travelers" were all outsiders who illegally occupied the bodies of the indigenous people. To the local plane, they were all pathogens. If there were really "rules" in the world, in order to maintain balance and order, it was natural to eliminate the anomalies.
She had nothing to say.
What would come would eventually come. Jiang Pengji accepted it calmly.
Of course, she would not let her remaining time go to waste just because she was going to die in more than ten years.
On the contrary, she would live a more exciting life. She would live a more passionate and unrestrained life.
Even if she had to die, she would let the people of this plane and their descendants remember the name "Jiang Pengji" thoroughly!
Her eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
Not only did the System's words not make her restrain herself, but it also stimulated Jiang Pengji's determination to do something big.
She felt that unifying the nine prefectures was not a big deal. It was better to unite the world together.
Was it because she had turned this plane upside down and deviated from the trajectory of fate? Would that annoying merchant arrive in advance?
If it knew that Jiang Pengji was such a troublemaker who was not afraid of death, the System would have endured it no matter what.
Now it was full of regret.
As a small subsystem, it could not defeat Jiang Pengji.
After being exposed to the night wind for most of the day, Jiang Pengji raised her hand to pat the cold air off her body. She was ready to get up and go back to sleep.
On the way, she happened to meet Yang Si, who had woken up at night.
Jiang Pengji saw that his eyes were misty and that he was floating as he walked. He yawned all the way.
"My lord, why did you come out dressed in military attire?"
Yang Si covered his mouth with his hand so that it would not be too rude to open his mouth while yawning.
Jiang Pengji said casually, "I had a nightmare and woke up in fright. I was not sleepy at all, so I went out for a walk. "
Yang Si did not suspect anything and continued to sleep.
Tomorrow, he would enter the mountain road and attack Jinmen County. After that, there would be a series of high-intensity combat plans. With his weak body, after riding a horse for a few days, he was so tired that he felt like he was falling apart. If he did not seize the time to recover his strength, he was afraid that he would not even be able to climb the mountain road. That would be embarrassing.
Jiang Pengji also returned to her original position, crossed her arms, and slept.
Regardless of whether it was the System or the dimensional merchant, the most important thing now was to take down Jinmen County. She did not care about anything else.
However … she really did not expect the System itself to have a brain.
Was it dark under the light?
It was indeed a trick.
She yawned and found a comfortable position. Soon, she fell asleep, and her breathing became long and steady.
The next day, the weather was rare.
The sky was blue and looked refreshing. The golden sunlight shone on the snow. It was golden and dazzling, so bright that it was a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Pengji gathered her troops and horses. She was still dressed in her red and white military attire. She looked energetic and had a high aura.
"My lord, the situation of the mountain road has been investigated. Last night, I also ordered people to quietly sweep away the snow. Now we can pass through."
