Power and money had always been mutually beneficial.
With money, you could buy power, and with power, you wouldn't have to worry about money.
The man knew this very well, but he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart as he looked at the two big boxes in front of him.
Sometimes, no matter how powerful you were, you couldn't get so much money.
How could he not know that the Meng family's promise to him was too illusory? But he was too greedy and wanted everything. Driven by greed, he took risks out of desperation. When the chief of Wolong died in battle, he felt a little bit of regret, but it was just a little bit.
Jiang Pengji raised her hand to close the boxes and interrupted the man's thoughts. She asked him again, "Do you know what's good for you, or do you not?"
The man's heart sank, and he smiled bitterly. "If I know what's good for me, I'll be able to keep my wealth for the rest of my life. If I don't, I don't think the Commander will tolerate someone like me who killed my master. But, will the Palace Commander really keep his promise and not go back on his word? "
Jiang Pengji sneered. "You trust the Meng's, and now you doubt me?"
The man knew that he had said something wrong, so he didn't dare to speak again.
He had no room for negotiation in his current situation.
He was like a fish on the chopping block.
"You can see what the Meng's are like if you keep your eyes open. Do you think the Meng's would dare to use you after you killed your master? "
Jiang Pengji's eyelids drooped slightly. Her pair of dark eyes seemed to be able to see through the man's soul, forcing the man to avert his eyes subconsciously.
After a while, the man gritted his teeth and surrendered to Jiang Pengji.
Apart from this path, he had no other choice.
Jiang Pengji already knew his secret. If she revealed that he had betrayed the chief of Wolong, there would be no place for him in the world. He shuddered at the thought of that, so he had no choice but to cooperate with Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji wasn't afraid that he would play any tricks now that she had his weakness.
Jiang Pengji didn't mind using some tricks to achieve her goal, but the viewers in the streaming room couldn't stand it.
Many people were indignant. They felt that Jiang Pengji was asking a tiger for its skin.
How could a traitor who betrayed his master and went back on his word have any credibility?
Jiang Pengji cooperated with him. Wasn't she afraid that he would betray her and stab her in the back?
Once unfaithful, a hundred times not tolerated.
Fairy Queen's Crimson: "Streamer, you better be careful. It'll be bad if this guy turns against you."
Yamada Miya: "In modern society, this thing can't be used." After all, everyone had their own ambitions. But before he left, he had colluded with outsiders to kill his boss. Moreover, the boss was the brother-in-law of the employee. This was simply intolerable. He was clearly a traitor.
Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng: "To put it in an extreme way, once disloyalty is tolerated a hundred times." Although the host is broad-minded, not everyone has the right to be forgiven. This big man was obviously a traitor who pretended to be loyal. The anchor could not let her guard down, lest she failed miserably.
The viewers in the livestream room expressed their worry.
They knew that Jiang Pengji instigated the rebellion of the burly Han Dynasty for the sake of the overall situation, but they were still anxious and fearful that the other party would betray them.
Jiang Pengji glanced coldly at the man kneeling on the ground and sent a bullet screen in her mind.
Host V: "I only said that it would be wise to keep him alive after the deed is done. I didn't say that I wouldn't settle the score later. Don't worry."
Even if the burly Han Dynasty was instigated, Jiang Pengji would not trust him at all. She would take precautions against him.
The viewers breathed a sigh of relief when they got the answer.
For two consecutive days, the camp was quiet. Jiamen Pass also hung a "no war" sign. Both sides seemed to dislike each other.
After Meng Hun returned, he reported the operation to Jiang Pengji.
"My lord, in my opinion, Fu Wang is not doing well under the Meng's. There should be room for him to defect."
If they could recruit Fu Wang, it would be a great harvest.
When Meng Hun thought of this, his gloomy mood suddenly improved.
Without Fu Wang, the Meng's would suffer a great blow. What could make Meng Hun happier than making the Meng's suffer?
Jiang Pengji did not comment. Feng Zhen asked in detail, "What do you mean?"
Meng Hun said, "Fu Wang is surrounded by spies. When I saw him, not only were there people eavesdropping outside the hall, but there were also people hiding in the hall. They looked like Fu Wang's personal guards, but from Fu Wang's attitude towards them, it was obvious that he hated and feared them. "
Feng Zhen shook his head. His wariness was not so easily dispelled.
"Officer Meng, what you see can sometimes be deceiving. To say the least, even if Fu Wang's situation is really bad and he is surrounded by spies, what reason does he have to betray the Meng family and seek refuge with the lord when the Meng family indulges him so much? "
As mentioned before, Fu Wang had caused trouble for the Meng's, but the Meng's had always granted him whatever he wanted.
If Fu Wang defected to Jiang Pengji, could Jiang Pengji satisfy all of his demands and demands?
In other words, Fu Wang had a reason to defect, but he had no reason to defect to Jiang Pengji.
Hearing this, Meng Hun broke out in a cold sweat. His mind cleared up.
"Counselor, what do you mean …"
Feng Zhen shook his head and said, "If Officer Meng really thinks he can win Fu Wang over and secretly instigate him, he might fall into his trap."
Meng Hun immediately apologized for his rash actions.
Jiang Pengji raised her hand to signal him to stand up. She said calmly, "You can't be blamed for this. Zi Shi only mentioned one of the possibilities … But from this, it seems that Fu Wang is not an ordinary person. You can't let your guard down … When two armies fight, there is no mercy. It's not only a battle of strength, but also a battle of wits. If Fu Wang was an ordinary brute, the Meng's wouldn't have tolerated him until now … "
It's always good to be more cautious.
Meng Hun listened and nodded to show that he understood.
But he still felt it was a pity. If he could win over Fu Wang, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for his lord.
One Fu Wang was nothing. The key was the elites under his command. Meng Hun was a little envious.
Wanzhou not only lacked civil officials but also military generals.
Poaching Fu Wang and getting a few thousand elites at the same time was a very good deal.
Jiang Pengji said, "In the next few days, send people to Jiamen Pass for all kinds of reasons. Since you and Fu Wang are friends, we can use this as an excuse to build a relationship. Even if we don't disgust Fu Wang, we must make the Meng's wary of him. If he doesn't have a good time, we can do it smoothly. If he shows that he wants to join us, we can just go along with it and confuse him. We can make him lower his guard … "
The possibility of making a famous general lower his guard was too low.
As long as we confuse him for a while and make him lower his guard, Jiang Pengji would win.
