Jiang Pengji had thought that Wei Ci would back down, but she seemed to have underestimated this guy. He could be so stubborn.
"You should know very well what kind of people the Red Lotus Group is. You're going to lobby them at this time … Wei Zixiao, do you think your life is too long? The Red Lotus Group doesn't care about 'no killing of envoys when two armies clash.' If I were in their shoes, I would be the first to kill whoever dares to send someone to lobby me at this juncture. "Jiang Pengji's voice fluctuated a little. She asked," Are you really not afraid of death? "
Wei Ci smiled instead of getting angry. His expression softened a lot, as if he had a soft light filter.
He said, "Of course I'm afraid."
It was human nature to be afraid of death.
Even though Wei Ci had been reborn, every time he thought of the scene of him drawing his sword to commit suicide, he still felt a trembling fear.
However, if he could turn back time once, he would still choose to do so.
Life was indeed precious, but to Wei Ci, some things were more important than it.
"It's good that you're afraid. Take good care of your life."
Jiang Pengji didn't even look up. She gestured for Wei Ci to leave.
Wei Ci said, "It's precisely because I'm afraid that my life and the lives of the people are worthy of respect. I am confident that I can convince the enemy leader. If I succeed, the casualties of our soldiers will be greatly reduced. It's true that my lord is brave and good at fighting. There are few opponents in the world, but the enemy has a large number of troops and the city walls as a barrier. They can advance to attack and retreat to defend. If they defend the city and deliberately delay time, even my lord will have a big headache. While the enemy is still divided, I think that sowing discord and instigating defection is the best way. "
At present, the Red Lotus Group was still divided and hostile. They still had a chance.
If the Red Lotus Group put aside their former enmity and joined forces to fight against the enemy, Jiang Pengji's side couldn't afford to delay at all.
They needed to seize the opportunity to fight a war, and the same was true of strategy.
If they delayed for a while and the Red Lotus Group became harmonious, it would be too late.
Jiang Pengji was a little annoyed. She pondered for a while and finally made a decision.
"If you can guarantee that you'll come back alive, I'll allow you to try."
Wei Ci's face was filled with joy. Even his eyes were a little brighter. However, the audience in the streaming room was going crazy.
Beauty Ci is out of her mind and wants to "court death." Host, how can you not stop her?
Ai Di Not Enough: "The Red Lotus Group is a group of bandits. They don't have the habit of not killing envoys when two armies cross swords. If they see that Cimeiren is good-looking but not strong in martial arts, what if they develop crooked thoughts? Host, why didn't you stop him to the end?
Who Wants to Add Drama: "The streamer has taken over three territories of the Red Lotus Group. They hate the streamer to the core now. If Beauty Ci goes over, won't he be a ready-made punching bag? If it were any other force, I wouldn't be very worried. However, if it were the Red Lotus Group, I would be very nervous.
[This Chapter's Message]: The key is that Wei Ci wants to go. The host tried to stop him, but he was determined. What do you expect the host to do?
The viewers in the streaming room were worried about Jiang Pengji.
But she would not make decisions for him just because she was worried.
Perhaps her worry seemed to Wei Ci that she didn't trust his abilities, so when Wei Ci insisted, she chose to respect him.
After obtaining permission, Wei Ci changed into a simple and plain Confucian robe and left the military camp with only a few guards.
That night, the second-in-command got up from his concubine in irritation. He was about to call for hot water to take a bath when the footsteps of a messenger came from outside.
"Second-in-command, there is a group of people outside who claim to be messengers sent by Liu Xi. They want to discuss important matters with you."
The second-in-command was halfway through putting on his clothes when he froze on the spot. After a while, he reacted and revealed a malicious smile.
"Liu Xi actually sent people over … Interesting, interesting … I want to see who is so unafraid of death! Let them in. I'll go over right away. " The second-in-command took a battle bath and changed into a new set of clothes. He tidied himself up and went to meet the messengers sent by Liu Xi.
When he entered the main hall, he saw a young man in a dark green Confucian robe sitting on the table. His sitting posture was standard and his back was straight.
The hall was brightly lit. The candlelight swayed and the light flickered.
The young man's long, dark hair was tied into a jade crown. He was meticulous, and the color of his hair made his already delicate skin look even fairer. His eyebrows were straight, his eyes were like dots of paint, and the bridge of his nose was high. No matter who saw him, they would praise him — what a handsome gentleman with red lips and white teeth.
The young man seemed to have sensed movement outside the hall. He looked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing the fierce-looking second-in-command, he looked calm. It was as if he was not in the enemy's camp, but in his own courtyard. He was drinking alone at a table.
The second-in-command gathered his thoughts and strode to the seat of honor. He sat down in a dignified manner and said in a thunderous voice.
"You were sent by Liu … Liu Xi to persuade me?"
He wanted to call Jiang Pengji "Liu Xi," but the second-in-command did not know the young man's specific purpose, so he showed mercy.
Wei Ci bowed and said calmly, "No, my lord sent me here to point out a way for you to survive."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the second-in-command's murderous intent gradually surged. He sneered, "Point out a way for me to survive?"
"Exactly." Wei Ci was not afraid at all. He said, "You are entrenched in Qiuyu District and have 30,000 strong troops. You seem to be at the peak of your power, but don't forget that there are two strong enemies outside the city. Once the two besiege the city, how long do you think you can resist according to the reserves in the city? "
If Wei Ci tried to persuade him and put himself in a lower position, the second-in-command would only be more arrogant and think more highly of himself.
He was here to instigate the second-in-command. The two of them should be on equal footing.
Therefore, even though he was in the enemy's camp, Wei Ci did not lower his aura at all.
The second-in-command snorted. His eyes were as fierce as a wolf's. He stared at Wei Ci's neck, as if thinking of how to break it.
The second-in-command was disdainful and said in a rough voice, "Although I have conflicts with the Sacred Sect, behind closed doors, we are all family. No matter what, Liu Xi is still an outsider. In this world, who would help an outsider instead of helping their own family? "
Wei Ci said coldly, "Family? Are you referring to your own family who will be killed when the time comes? "
The second-in-command's face turned green. Wei Ci continued, "You should thank my lord. If not for my lord, based on your rebellious behavior, how could the Red Lotus Group allow you to survive? What you said just now is right. Broken bones are still connected. How can a family have overnight hatred? "
When it came to distorting the truth, the counselors under Jiang Pengji were all outstanding. Their ability to secretly change the concept was superb.
It was clearly Jiang Pengji who had forced the Red Lotus Group to fall apart. In Wei Ci's words, Jiang Pengji had become a "benefactor."
