"This is already the third day. The Alliance Leader's tent is filled with joyous songs. The feudal vassals are drunk and dreaming, indulging in the land of beauties …"
Cheng Jing and Feng Jue sat opposite each other. The two of them each held a black and white chess piece and were fighting on the chessboard. It was hard to determine the victor.
Feng Jue's expression was calm, and his jade-like black eyes drooped slightly.
"Didn't you already expect this? Everyone in the Alliance Meeting had their own ulterior motives. The Liu father and son and the Xu brothers, who were capable of carrying the weight of the alliance, had gone on strike and slacked off, while the latter only knew how to study their reputation and form cliques for personal gain. The alliance was like a group of dragons without a leader. Even though they had formed an alliance and chosen an alliance leader, in the end, they were still not strong enough. If people are of one mind, what's the difference between that and a plate of loose sand? "
Feng Jue lowered his voice and thought about his next move. This time, it was his turn to make a move.
He had to be extremely careful with this step. Otherwise, what awaited him would be Cheng Jing's storm-like attacks.
Feng Jue's style of playing chess was to advance step by step. Regardless of whether it was offense or defense, he had to be flawless, which was suitable for long-term battles.
The longer he delayed, the better it would be for him.
Cheng Jing's style was somewhat similar to Feng Jue's.
What was different was that once he found a loophole, the originally gentle breeze and drizzle would turn into a violent storm, extremely aggressive.
Feng Jue was "steady," while Cheng Jing was "seeking danger amidst stability."
Cheng Jing said, "What a pity. I thought Liu Xi would fight for the position of Alliance Leader. If this person is the alliance leader, the situation might be different. "
Feng Jue was surprised and asked, "Does Youmo have a high opinion of Liu Lanting?"
Liu Xi alone was able to reverse the decline of so many vassal forces?
"Liu Xi studied under Master for three years. Master valued him very much. Liu Xi had studied for three years, stirred up trouble for three years, and constantly made enemies. If he didn't have a strong backer and a good father to support him, he might have gotten into trouble long ago. However, this person was capable of causing trouble and was not afraid of it. On the surface, he looked calm and composed, but on the inside, he hated evil as if it was his enemy. If he were the Alliance Leader, he probably wouldn't be able to tolerate those people who indulged in singing and dancing all day long. As for Xu Bei? Ha — a glib tongue, good at business, concerned about reputation, but not about facts. With such a person as the Alliance Leader, in the end, he will only pretend that everything is peaceful. "
Don't underestimate the fact that the alliance leader's reputation was greater than his actual power. However, he still had some influence on the alliance. With Xu Bei's personality as the alliance leader, he was bound to fail miserably.
Cheng Jing could see it clearly, which was why he didn't have high hopes for this alliance meeting.
He wasn't the only one. Many people in the alliance could see it too, but they didn't say it out loud.
Feng Jue looked down. "That's a pity. Liu Xi obviously wants to stay out of this … He won't get involved in this."
As the two of them were talking, the tent flap was lifted, and cold wind poured in through the opening.
Huang Song's footsteps were hurried, and his face was still full of anger.
Cheng Jing and Feng Jue looked at each other and then at Huang Song.
"The Alliance isn't holding a banquet?"
"The banquet was disrupted by Yang Jian. He brought men with him and charged into the tent …"
What?!
"How could Yang Jian …"
Feng Jue was shocked by the news. Why would Yang Jian suddenly bring his men to the alliance's camp?
Huang Song took a deep breath. Seeing Feng Jue's reaction, he knew that he had misunderstood.
He hurriedly explained, "… I haven't finished speaking … Yang Jian only brought a few personal guards with him and charged into the tent. However, he didn't hurt anyone. He only broke everyone's table and caused a scene at the banquet. He called out Xu Bei by name, pointed at his nose, and scolded him. The situation just now was spectacular. Those people's faces looked as if they had been splashed with ink … How satisfying! "
When Feng Jue and Cheng Jing heard this, they groaned inwardly. Did Yang Jian have a death wish?
Yang Jian had already been isolated by the alliance. Now, he had caused a scene at the camp and threatened the alliance leader. One could only imagine how much damage Yang Jian's power would suffer.
Cheng Jing thought about it and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He said, "My lord, could it be that Yang Jian has left the alliance?"
Huang Song was gulping down water. When he heard Cheng Jing's words, he instinctively replied.
"How did Youmo know?"
The alliance held banquets every day. Cheng Jing and Feng Jue were extremely disgusted by this and refused to go. They would rather stay in the tent and play chess.
Cheng Jing thought to himself, as expected.
"Yang Jian is trying to protect himself. If he doesn't find a chance to leave the alliance, I'm afraid he'll bring disaster upon himself. Although I don't know who advised him to do this, it was indeed a smart move. Without destruction, there can't be construction. If we don't make a big deal out of it, we'll be passive at every turn. " Cheng Jing frowned, as if deep in thought. "Oh right, when my lord came in from outside the tent just now, why did you look so angry?"
If Cheng Jing hadn't mentioned this, Huang Song would have almost forgotten.
As soon as he mentioned it, the anger that was about to be extinguished reignited.
"Those bastards in the alliance are really inhumane," Huang Song scolded angrily.
At the same time, Jiang Pengji returned to her own camp, reeking of alcohol. She wore a faint smile on her lips and seemed to be in a good mood.
She went to the alliance to report to Xu Bei. Xu Bei had already helped her find 15 clients.
Including Xu Bei, she had sold 16 recipes for the flashing bricks. This was a huge sum of money. How could Jiang Pengji not be happy?
As for how chaotic the alliance was, she didn't care.
Liyun blindly followed behind her, guarding her sides with Dian Yan.
"My lord, will Chief Yang be alright?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "If Yang Jian hadn't caused a ruckus today, he would be."
That day, she brought Li Yun and Dian Yan to the alliance's camp for free food and drinks. Halfway through the meal, Yang Jian and a dozen guards in armor barged into the tent. Without saying a word, they drew their swords and chopped down a few tables. Everyone was in a mess.
Yang Jian pointed at everyone's noses and started scolding them. Xu Bei was the one who was scolded the most … To be honest, regarding Yang Jian's scolding, Jiang Pengji believed that someone must be helping him from behind. Otherwise, how could he have scolded them so fluently?
Even if he scolded them, Yang Jian's scolding was reasonable. While everyone was angry, they couldn't help but feel guilty.
After scolding them to his heart's content, Yang Jian announced that he was withdrawing from the alliance.
He was only withdrawing from the alliance, not giving up on protecting the emperor. He was willing to use all his military forces to save the emperor, but he didn't want to be in cahoots with these thugs in the alliance.
After saying this, Yang Jian left with his guards, leaving behind a room full of dumbfounded people.
Thinking of that scene, Jiang Pengji couldn't help but laugh. It was too funny.
Why?
Because before Yang Jian ran over to cause a ruckus, someone had already suggested letting Yang Jian's troops take the lead. It was obvious that they wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
Once this suggestion was made, it was immediately seconded by many. No one cared about Yang Jian's personal opinion.
After a short while, Yang Jian ran to the tent with his guards and caused a ruckus. Then, he left in a carefree manner.
The slap in the face came too quickly, like a hurricane passing through.
On the other side, when Yang Jian heard the exact news, he was furious but also vaguely afraid.
