Huang Song nodded as he listened. He obviously believed Jiang Pengji's words.
No matter how much he criticized her in his heart, at least he believed her on the surface.
Cheng Jing, who was beside him, was not so easily fooled. In his opinion, even if Jiang Pengji was not lying, she was not lying.
She had conquered Chengde County in half a month. Such swift actions were enough for Cheng Jing to view her as a great enemy.
After saying this, Jiang Pengji asked him a question.
"Bogao, are you interested in the position of alliance leader?"
"Brother Liu, don't laugh at me. How am I worthy of being the alliance leader?"
Huang Song laughed bitterly, his tone self-deprecating.
Jiang Pengji said, "Why do you belittle yourself? You are the chief of a county and have tens of thousands of troops under your command. Why not? "
Why not?
Of course not!
If he could be the alliance leader with such little qualifications, who knew how many people would fight for him?
Although Huang Song was ambitious, he could see reality and his own strength clearly. He did not have that kind of arrogance that was higher than the sky.
He knew it was impossible for him to become the alliance leader, but he could find a way to maximize the benefits.
"I am ashamed. Brother Liu thinks highly of me, but with my meager strength, I will only be laughed at by the heroes."
The two drank and drank. Because Huang Song was a good talker, the atmosphere did not turn cold.
As the conversation went deeper, they began to talk about the various factions within the alliance.
Jiang Pengji listened carefully. She had heard a lot from Liu She and wanted to dig out more information from Huang Song.
Huang Song said, "Other than the Xu brothers, I think there are two other families worth paying attention to."
"Which two?" Jiang Pengji asked him.
Huang Song said, "One is the chief of Shanghai County, Wuma Shang. The other is the military chief of Zhangzhou Dongmen County, Yang Jian. In my opinion, these two are one of the few pure-hearted forces in the alliance that are willing to protect the Emperor. The military chief of Shanghai County, Wuma Shang, is second only to the Xu brothers. The military chief of Dongmen County, Yang Jian, has no more than 15,000 troops, but from what I know, this is all he has. This shows his sincerity. "
When Jiang Pengji heard these two names, she seemed to be deep in thought.
"Wuma Shang, just from the name, I know he is a relative of the royal family. Let's not talk about him … Then who is this Yang Jian?"
More importantly, Yang Jian was from Zhangzhou's East Gate County …
Zhangzhou was Prince Changshou's fief.
Huang Song smiled as he explained, "The County Chief of Hu County, Wuma Shang, is indeed from a branch of the royal family. He can be considered a relative. In terms of seniority, he is the uncle of the Emperor and Prince Changshou. As for Dongmen Commandant Yang Jian, he doesn't have any special background, but I like his temperament. This person's temperament was open-minded, and he was heroic and righteous. Although he looked crude and careless, he was actually very meticulous. Zhangzhou was Prince Changshou's fief. It looked rich on the surface, but in reality, it was a chaotic place. Prince Changshou used other reasons to cover up the incidents of water bandits robbing and killing the people, pretending to be peaceful. Only Yang Jian's personality was unyielding and unyielding. It was said that he dared to raise his sword at the age of seventeen and led his troops, who were good at swimming, to deal with the water bandits. He fought valiantly and often disregarded life and death. Now that he has made a name for himself, he can be considered a hero. "
Jiang Pengji pinched her chin. "From what you've said, Bogao seems to like Yang Jian a lot?"
Huang Song said calmly, "Of course I want to befriend such a heroic figure. It's just that … "
At this point, Huang Song's expression darkened. He felt slightly ashamed and didn't continue.
Even if he didn't say it, the two people in the tent understood what he meant. There was no point in saying it.
However, he didn't know that apart from Jiang Pengji and Cheng Jing, there were 150,000 onlookers. These people didn't understand.
Blackberry Can: "I'm confused. What's next?"
Huangtao Can: "Same question. What's next?"
Pomelo Can: "There's nothing more. This damned eunuch! He pretended to be mysterious halfway through his speech. Annoying, annoying, annoying! "
Jiang Pengji looked at the bullet screen full of "eunuch" and "There's nothing more." She held back her laughter in pain.
Host V: "The alliance is meeting here. They are here to suppress Prince Changshou, but this Yang Jian is from Zhangzhou. Zhangzhou is Prince Changshou's fief, so their relationship is more sensitive. If I'm not wrong, Yang Jian should have been declared independent by the alliance. Huang Song wants to befriend him, but the situation doesn't allow it. If he befriends Yang Jian, it's equivalent to making enemies for himself. Huang Song won't do such a thing. "
After her explanation, the comments on the screen changed again.
Weiwei An: "Eh, Huang Song is too cowardly. Why worry so much? If he wants to befriend him, then befriend him. Why does he have to avoid arousing suspicion?"
Sushui Liunian: "I think Huang Song is right. Yang Jian is isolated by the whole group. If he brazenly befriends him, he'll definitely be ostracized by the whole group. He'll even implicate Yang Jian. This doesn't fit Huang Song's character." There are many ways to express goodwill. Huang Song is a smart man. Offering help in times of need is much better than adding icing on the cake. If there's a war, Yang Jian might be thrown out by the alliance as cannon fodder. When that happens, Huang Song can lend a helping hand. This is better than "befriending" him. "
Hacker Wen Xiang Pian: "To the person above, please accept my respect."
Hacker Dian Wen Xiang Pian: "The type of streamer attracts the type of audience. I feel like the average IQ of the streaming room is getting higher and higher."
Jiang Pengji was very composed.
After so many years, she had long developed the habit of ignoring the bullet screen and not being affected by it.
She comforted Huang Song. "Bogao, don't be disappointed. It's fine if you secretly befriend Yang Jian. There's no need to announce it to the world."
Wasn't there a saying that went, "Showing off your love will lead to a quick death?"
Huang Song didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who would comfort someone like that?
This person's choice of words was still so amusing. It made people laugh and cry.
Words that were originally proper, but when they came out of this person's mouth, they always had a strange tint to them.
Huang Song said that they wouldn't go home until they were drunk. Jiang Pengji didn't feel bad about it.
Anyway, it wasn't her wine. It would be a waste not to drink it.
In the end, the tent reeked of alcohol. Huang Song was already paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud. His face was burning red, and he was delirious.
On the other hand, Jiang Pengji's wine jars were no less than Huang Song's. She still looked sober, but her eyes were shimmering with tears.
Huang Song hugged the wine jars in a daze. He stammered, "I … I … can … still … drink …"
"Bogao's alcohol tolerance isn't good. Tell him to drink less in the future. Although the war hasn't started yet, this is still an important military camp. He should remain sober at all times. He shouldn't drink too much to prevent it from affecting his sanity. " Jiang Pengji glanced at Cheng Jing, whose expression was normal and unchanging. She said in a lazy tone, "Look at how drunk he is. I'll send someone to send him back. What do you think, teacher?"
Looking at Cheng Jing's stature, Jiang Pengji really doubted that he could successfully drag Huang Song back.
Cheng Jing bowed with his hands in front of his chest. "Thank you for your kindness, district magistrate Liu. I thank you on behalf of my lord."
"Bogao and I are good friends. You don't have to be so polite."
When she finished speaking, she shouted for the soldiers to support Huang Song and send him back to his own tent.
She got up and sent Huang Song and Cheng Jing out of the tent. She looked at the few figures in the distance and frowned.
