If he could make Zhe Prefecture look like the scene in the painting, with clean streets, clean clothes for the people, healthy complexions, and a flourishing state … then, his cousin, Xu Fei, would no longer be able to contend against him. Even if his grandfather favored his cousin more, the Xu family would still be in the bag for Xu Bei. After all, as the head of the family, his grandfather could not go against the opinions of the elders.
However, how could he obtain the method to produce the flashing bricks?
Xu Bei was calculating in his mind. The banquet was nearing its end. Jiang Pengji had also gotten to know the people in Xu Bei's tent.
Just as he was feeling tipsy, Xu Bei suddenly remembered the purpose of inviting Jiang Pengji to this banquet.
He probed, "… Is my worthy younger brother interested in the position of the alliance leader? If you are, I will definitely support you."
Jiang Pengji shook her head. Her eyes were no longer clear, and she was hazy from drunkenness.
"To tell you the truth, I have sent troops to suppress the rebels several times. My purse is already empty and I cannot spend it. My subordinates and troops are exhausted and have almost lost their vitality. In order to give the people time to recuperate, and in order not to bear the bad reputation of being a warmonger, I plan to rest for a year or two first … Now, in the alliance meeting, to put it bluntly, I'm just here to join in the fun, to avoid being criticized … "
Xu Bei glanced at Jiang Pengji and saw that her cheeks were flushed red. She was so drunk that her eyes were glazed over.
As she spoke, the strategist behind her paled. He wanted to stop her but did not dare to.
Was she … drunk?
Xu Bei smiled. If she was not completely drunk, why would she reveal such important information?
Yang Si, who was cooperating with Jiang Pengji's act, secretly pouted.
He stood up and bowed, assisting her.
"My lord is drunk and delirious. If her words and actions are inappropriate, I ask for County Chief Xu's understanding …"
Xu Bei graciously agreed. Yang Si then wanted to help his lord back.
Unexpectedly, Xu Bei stopped him. Yang Si's expression immediately darkened.
It was a rare opportunity. How could Xu Bei let her go?
Xu Bei was good at getting information out of people, but how could Jiang Pengji, who had better acting skills, fall for it?
She only said what she was willing to say. She would not discuss anything else.
Even so, the combination of truth and falsehood made Xu Bei's heart blossom with joy.
Under his persuasion, Jiang Pengji agreed to sell him the method of making the flashing bricks.
However, to prevent the relationship between the two forces from becoming stiff, he knew when to stop. He did not take advantage of the fact that Jiang Pengji was drunk to lower the price.
In the end, he even gave Jiang Pengji the leading dancer. He planned to use the beauty to appease his "younger brother" so that he would not regret his decision after he woke up.
"It's deep in the night now, and the wind and snow outside are too strong. Why don't you stay in the camp and leave tomorrow after you've sobered up?"
What else could Yang Si say? He could only agree sullenly.
The delicate and frail dancer in red and Yang Si supported Jiang Pengji on her left and right, sending her to another tent.
The accommodation that Xu Bei had arranged for Yang Si was nearby. The two tents were not far apart.
The red-clothed dancer lowered her head slightly, revealing her slender, white neck. Her eyebrows were lowered.
"Sir, please allow me to serve Langjun."
Under the light of the lamp, the face of the beauty in red was even more charming. Even a single dog like Yang Si was stunned for a moment.
If the lord's gender was normal, Yang Si would have tactfully left … but …
He stood rooted to the ground, unmoving. The red-clothed dancer timidly stared at the tips of their feet. The two of them were in a subtle confrontation.
At that moment, Yang Si looked at Jiang Pengji from the corner of his eye.
His lord was lying limply on the bed. Her eyes were tightly shut. She waved a finger by her side, indicating for him to get lost.
Yang Si was speechless.
He should have let the prodigal son, Feng Zhen, come on such an occasion. He was not going to fool around anymore!
Yang Si resisted the urge to ridicule her. He coughed twice and said to the dancer, "Serve the lord well."
He was puzzled. Could it be that his lord wanted to use this opportunity to reveal her identity?
Or was it that his lord, as a woman, did not like men and preferred feminine styles?
It was terrifying to think about it!
He got lost nimbly. The red-clothed dancer sent him out of the tent, then carried the lamp back to the inner room behind the screen.
"Langjun?"
The red-clothed dancer called out softly. Jiang Pengji did not move.
The audience in the streaming room cheered. Was there going to be an erotic battle between the two of them?
Shen Bulai Wazi: I can't take it anymore. Is the streamer going to give us a bonus?
Goddess Zaiwo Xi Xia: No way, a lesbian? That's disgusting. I'd rather watch a gay man.
Hacker Mosquito Xiang: To the one above, you're even more disgusting. To put it bluntly, a lesbian can't be seen if you dry it. A gay man needs to wipe his shit. Who's more disgusting than the other? Emotions are fair. It has nothing to do with gender. This is the streamer's streaming room. We don't welcome uncultured trash like you.
Laosiji Lianmeng: To the one above, please calm down. Don't start a fight. The streamer has always valued her privacy. When did she not dress neatly before she started streaming? Do you think she'll stream so that you can watch her fight with a transvestite? You're thinking too much! Based on my many years of following the streaming room, the streamer must be preparing for some big move. Or … there's something wrong with this red-clothed dancer …
Old viewers were old viewers after all. As rational fans of the streaming room, they naturally would not be led astray so easily.
"Langjun?"
As she spoke, the red-clothed dancer took a step closer. She raised her hand and pushed Jiang Pengji.
"You're really drunk."
Her tone suddenly turned cold. Her originally coquettish, smoky makeup took on a sinister look.
At this moment, the audience expressed their shock with exclamation marks. Damn it. There's something wrong with the dancer!
Guicai Guofengxiao: Damn it. This vicious beauty has drawn her sword! Streamer, be careful. Don't pretend to be asleep!
The snow-white dagger was unsheathed. With lightning speed, it stabbed toward Jiang Pengji's neck.
The dagger slashed across. The snow-white light was like a waterfall. It was dazzling and blinding. The audience in the streaming room was so shocked that they covered their eyes, not daring to look directly at it.
The red-clothed dancer could even foresee the scene of Jiang Pengji's neck spurting blood in the next second.
However, the scene she expected did not happen.
The speed of her attack was so fast that she only managed to stab the pillow on the bed. Her target had already quickly rolled away.
Because of her strength, the dagger was deeply embedded in the wooden planks under the heavy mattress.
In the instant that the red-clothed dancer was stunned, Jiang Pengji had already kicked her left chest.
She did not succeed in dodging. Her soft chest was hit by a huge force. Her entire body flew backward.
The bullet screen in the streaming room followed the plot twist. The entire screen was filled with "666" and shocked exclamation marks.
Of course, there were also some sporadic bullet screens.
Hacker Mosquito Xiangpian: Oh my god. At that moment, I felt pain in my chest.
Lan Se Ci: To give a visual description, before the kick, it was "protruding." After the kick, it was "concave."
Mo Qianzui: To the person above, are you trying to make me laugh to death so that you can inherit my flower money?
Jiu Mo Miaoran: What the hell is "concave" and "protruding." The streaming room is indeed full of talents.
Indifferent Chujian: Hahaha. I want to stuff the microphone into the streamer's mouth and interview her about the feeling of that kick.
Jiang Pengji looked at the red-clothed dancer with a faint smile. She took the time to send a bullet screen to the audience.
