Jiang Pengji teased him with a smile, "You don't sound very willing."
Yan Lin didn't utter a word. He just stared at her for a long time with his jet-black eyes.
He had been completely represented by an irrelevant person, and at the same time, he had lost a part of the benefits that he could easily reap. No one would be happy about that.
Jiang Pengji was aware of his resentment. A sly smile flashed across her bright eyes. She shamelessly joked with him shamelessly.
"I know you have resentment in your heart, but when it comes to haggling over it, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, Xu Bei wouldn't have let them go so easily. He didn't have to do anything. All he had to do was stall for three to five days. Then, it would be too late. Even though Chief Yang had caused a ruckus earlier, which made the other feudal lords wary of him, it wouldn't last long. Jiamen Pass hadn't been conquered for a long time, so someone had to be the scapegoat. Among all the feudal lords, is there anyone more suitable than your lord? It wasn't easy enough to leave this troublesome place. "
Yan Lin's face darkened. He turned his head away from the annoying smile on the man's face.
It was Jiang Pengji who had set them up, but in her mouth, she made it sound like Yang Jian and Yan Lin were grateful to her.
His ability to invert right and wrong was already at the pinnacle of perfection.
"This person isn't simple …"
After parting ways, both parties went back to reorganize their troops. Yan Lin, who had been silent for a long time, spoke for the first time.
Yang Jian said, "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to children who know how to dig holes. How could Liu She's son be a good person? I just didn't expect Liu Xi to not only be good at fighting, but also be so eloquent. Now that I think about Zhengze, it's really worrying. "
In Yang Jian's eyes, Jiang Pengji was a typical "other people's child." Yang Tao, his own child, always made him worry.
Hearing Yang Jian talk about his son, Yan Lin couldn't help but feel wronged for his best friend.
"Zhengze has a good temper, and he's passionate and loyal. He's much better than someone with a dark heart."
Even if his best friend was a retard, Yan Lin still felt that the naughty kid's best friend was a better person.
Yang Jian laughed bitterly. "To put it nicely, it's passionate and loyal. To put it bluntly, it's impulsive and brainless. Fortunately, this kid was fortunate in his previous life to have a good friend like you … With you looking after him for me, I won't have to worry about him being bullied after a hundred years. "
Yang Jian had many children, but he only had one son, and he was the son of his first wife. He loved him even more.
Unfortunately, this child had been a one-track mind ever since he was young. He had stirred up a lot of trouble, causing Yang Jian to worry so much that his beard was no longer as smooth as it used to be.
Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief when he met Yan Lin.
Yan Lin smiled. "The Lord is in his prime. He won't look old in another thirty or fifty years."
Yang Jian stroked his beautiful beard. The two of them returned to the camp surrounded by his personal guards. He ordered the troops and horses to be reorganized and things to be packed.
There was still some time before they set up camp. Yan Lin went to Jiang Pengji's camp to discuss some matters.
Liu Xi and Liu She were father and son. Their campsites were very close to each other. When Yan Lin arrived, Liu Xi's campsite was busy tidying up. Liu She's campsite was as quiet as ever. He frowned and suppressed his doubts.
"My father doesn't like fighting and killing. He had no choice but to come to this alliance meeting." Jiang Pengji could tell what he was thinking. She explained with a smile, "Using a surprise attack to stop Prince Changshou's elite troops was too exciting for him, so I didn't want to disturb him."
"If you don't ask for help from the Liu governor, you only have ten thousand men. Is that enough?" Yan Lin asked.
Jiang Pengji said, "It's enough. Both our families have twenty-five thousand men. If my father's troops were added to the mix, we would be too big of a target."
They were planning to launch a surprise attack, and the key was the word "surprise".
If they were discovered by the enemy because they were too big of a target, the final result would be greatly reduced. They might even lose their lives.
Yan Lin's expression softened a little. "That makes sense."
Jiamen Pass was located in the middle of a mountain range. The terrain was steep and undulating. It would be very difficult to go around it and enter Chenzhou.
However, just because it was difficult didn't mean it was impossible.
"If we want to go around Jiamen Pass, there are two ways." As the representative of Yang Jian's army, Yan Lin wasn't a pushover. Since he had the guts to come up with this plan, he was naturally well-prepared. Even though it was an away battle, he was still full of confidence. "The first way is through the water, but the current is fast and dangerous. We have to go against the current. If we aren't good swimmers, we won't be able to cross it."
Yang Jian's men were from Zhangzhou's Dongmen County. There were many waters there, and the water was fierce. Every one of them was a natural swimmer.
The water route around Jiamen Pass was only moderately difficult for them.
However, most of Jiang Pengji's soldiers didn't know how to swim, which was a bit embarrassing.
Feng Zhen smiled and pointed at a certain mountain range on the map.
"The other way should be here, right?"
Yan Lin said, "Yes. However, the mountain path is rugged and dangerous. Wild beasts and poisonous insects roam the land. Normal people don't dare to enter because it's easy to get lost. "
In other words, if Jiang Pengji wanted to stop Prince Changshou, she had to choose between these two ways. If she felt that it was too dangerous and didn't want to take the risk, she could choose to take the longer route. However, it would take a lot of time, and she might even run into Prince Changshou's scouts.
The two ways Yan Lin chose were both the shortest.
If they walked normally, they would be able to get around Jiamen Pass in one night.
Jiang Pengji smiled and made the decision. "Deal. Let's set a time and place. We'll wait for you there."
As soon as she said this, Yan Lin's expression turned into one of shock.
The livestream room was flooded with comments of "666" for her domineering words.
Liuli Huoyu: "My streamer is still as domineering as ever."
Not-climbing Koala: Eh? What did the streamer do this time? Why are you guys giving her so many comments? "
Cha Yuanfei: "Hey, can't you tell? I remember the streamer said that Yang Jian's men were all good swimmers, so they would definitely choose the water route. They were so confident. The streamer's men can't swim, so they could only choose the mountain path. The mountain path was rugged and more exhausting. Looking at the map, the distance was longer than the water route. But the streamer said they would wait for Yang Jian's men. Isn't that domineering? "
Sai Pu: "Well, I can say that it's domineering, but it's even more annoying.
Didn't you see that Yan Lin's eyes were about to spit fire?
No one would be able to maintain a hundred percent composure when encountering such a chuunibyou like the host.
Not to mention Jiang Pengji's enemies, even the people around her couldn't keep their master's mocking face.
"Deal. Since the district magistrate is so confident, let's meet up here."
Yan Lin pointed at a spot on the map and his smile returned.
