Temporarily shutting down the streaming room, Jiang Pengji washed up and changed into her usual home attire.
"Jing Rong, help me get a painting and put it on the table behind the screen in the commander's tent. Bring it with you to the banquet."
Yang Si did as he was told.
No matter how Yang Si looked at it, his lord was clearly a handsome young man.
This young face was full of vitality unique to her age. At the same time, she had a steadiness that her peers did not have.
As long as a normal person was not blind, who would find out that she was actually a girl?
However, the truth was that she was a genuine woman.
Hearing that she would bring him to the banquet and decline Feng Zhen, Yang Si felt that his lord's decision was correct.
Feng Zhen was a reckless fellow. When he saw wine and beauties, he couldn't move. It was easy for him to delay important matters.
How could such a guy share the lord's worries at the banquet?
If it was a man, it would be fine if he got drunk. Maybe he would have good luck with women and wake up the next day with a soft and fragrant beauty by his side. It would be a waste not to take advantage of a free gift.
Unfortunately, his lord was a woman. She could not drink too much on such an occasion. The people around her had to be more cautious. Yang Si felt that there was a long way to go.
At this time, Yang Si completely forgot one thing.
With Jiang Pengji's alcohol tolerance, she could overturn a group of people.
"Although this painting has no signature, looking at the painting technique and style … Was this painted by Zixiao?"
When Yang Si took the painting, it was already half unrolled.
With a casual glance, he could tell who the painter of this painting was.
"Yes, before the army set off, we asked him for a painting to use for publicity." Jiang Pengji walked forward and glanced at the pattern in the painting. She said with a smile, "Among the people I know, Zixiao's painting technique is the best. I like his painting style too. Jing Rong, if you've never been to Xiangyang District, would you be moved when you see the flourishing scene in this painting? "
Yang Si's expression was a little strange. He seemed to be struggling with something.
However, he said carelessly, "A paradise beyond the world. My heart admires it."
Just based on the contents of the painting, people who didn't know would indeed yearn for it.
However … speaking of Wei Ci's painting technique, he suddenly thought of something …
He remembered that Wei Ci had once painted a portrait of a woman who was exceptionally precious. Now that he recalled the face of the woman in the painting, he was extremely terrified when he thought about it.
In the beginning, Yang Si did not know Jiang Pengji's gender. When he saw the painting, he thought that Wei Ci had some hidden intentions.
Now that he knew the truth, the woman in the painting was obviously his lord.
So it wasn't that the lord wanted to do the unspoken rules with Wei Ci, but that the gentleman (pervert) Wei Ci had other intentions towards the lord?
Jiang Pengji noticed that there was something wrong with Yang Si's expression.
However, she did not delve too deeply into it. Instead, she carefully put the painting away.
"This is a magical treasure for us to expand our business. I plan to treat it as the God of Wealth. Who knows, we might be able to make a lot of money."
She opened the live broadcast room, and the 150,000 slots were filled in an instant.
By the time they arrived at the banquet, the sky had already darkened. Countless torches were lit up in the allied tents, like a red waterfall in the dark night.
Jiang Pengji was dressed in casual clothes with a thick rabbit fur cloak over her head.
She looked more childish and less valiant, making her look more scholarly and weak.
At first glance, she did not look like someone who lived in the army camp. Instead, she looked more like a noble young master from a wealthy family who had gone out to play.
There were bodyguards accompanying them all around. Yang Si rode a horse and followed them unhurriedly.
Xu Bei's campsite was built in the center of the allied army's campsite. Military tents were scattered all over the place. The commander's tent was in the middle, like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
Jiang Pengji scanned the area and realized that Xu Bei was indeed rich and imposing. He was indeed a descendant of the Xu family.
Every soldier wore a full set of armor. The weapons in their hands were of the same type and were of excellent quality. A complete set would not be a small sum.
Thinking about how many soldiers and generals Xu Bei had under him, if he were to equip every single one of them with a set, how rich would his family have to be to equip them all?
Jiang Pengji was secretly speechless. She lamented that a nouveau riche was indeed a nouveau riche. Rich and willful.
Inside the tent, a luxuriously dressed young man was sitting high up on the seat of honor. He was frowning as he conversed with his trusted aide.
Hearing the commotion outside, everyone kept quiet. Their gazes shifted outside the tent, waiting for Jiang Pengji to appear.
Not long after, the tent flap was lifted from the middle. Xu Bei also stood up from his seat of honor and went forward to welcome the distinguished guest.
A handsome young man wearing a rabbit skin cloak walked into the tent. His handsome face was like a gust of cold wind, blowing away the heat in the tent. Xu Bei's subordinates looked at Jiang Pengji's attire and doubts arose in their hearts.
This person was dressed in casual attire. He did not look like he was attending a formal banquet, but more like he was visiting a friend's house as a guest.
Although it was not impolite, the scene did not seem right.
"This is the son of the governor of Liuzhou? He is indeed a talented man, young and promising. "
Xu Bei's appearance was slightly handsome. Coupled with his scholarly aura, he added a few notches of charm.
The audience in the live streaming room roared in excitement. This was a carnival for those who were obsessed with looks. Xu Bei led Jiang Pengji into the tent, his lips warm.
"When I saw you enter just now, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if we've known each other for a long time. If I remember correctly, you and I are close in age and belong to the same generation. If district magistrate Liu doesn't mind my mediocre aptitude, why don't we address each other as brothers? "
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "To be able to address County Chief Xu as brothers is obviously my honor. How can I refuse?"
Xu Bei was also someone who took advantage of the situation. He regarded himself as the elder brother and unknowingly brought the two of them closer together.
Yang Si's seat was arranged to be behind Jiang Pengji. At the banquet, everyone secretly examined Jiang Pengji from the corner of their eyes.
Even though Jiang Pengji was young, no one present dared to look down on her. Even the self-proclaimed noble Xu Bei had to take her seriously.
Putting aside her relationship with Liu She, Jiang Pengji could occupy the entire Wanzhou without relying on her family or her father. Moreover, she was still so young. She was far superior to everyone present. If she added Liu She's influence, who in the alliance army would dare to provoke her? She might not treat her like an ancestor, but they would not become enemies.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu She and Jiang Pengji had brought too few troops, even if the Xu brothers had the intention to take the position of alliance leader, they would be powerless.
The most important guests had already taken their seats. Xu Bei ordered people to serve food and wine.
He turned his head and asked Jiang Pengji, "Worthy younger brother, do you like singing and dancing?"
She was about to reject him when the bullet screens in the streaming room changed.
[I like it!!!]
[I like it very much!!!]
[Let go of those singers and dancers, let me do it!!!]
Jiang Pengji swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. With a normal expression, she said, "It's alright."
When this answer fell into Xu Bei's ears, it became reserved. After translation, it was — I like it very much.
He revealed a meaningful smile and raised his eyebrows slightly. He said, "I understand. Which hero doesn't love beautiful women?"
Yang Si, who was in the background, looked down at the ground.
