"You don't have to sacrifice yourself like this."
Jiang Pengji wanted to say "I don't have to," but thinking about Huijun's feelings, she swallowed the word back into her stomach.
She said, "The situation is still under control. I know what I'm doing. You don't have to think too much."
Huijun's expression was slightly gloomy. Her brows were furrowed. Not only would men be reluctant to see her go, even women would feel pity for her.
"But Langjun … Other than that, I don't know what else I can do for you." After Jiang Pengji's rejection, Huijun seemed to be deflated and dispirited. She said softly, "Langjun once said that you don't take care of useless people … I've been living like a princess all these years, and I don't even know how to take care of people. If I were in the casualty camp, even the most ordinary medical soldier would be more agile and capable than me. Thinking about it carefully, my skin and flesh seem so lowly, as if I can only sell myself for a living … "
At the end of her speech, Huijun's voice even sounded a little choked and embarrassed.
For Huijun, her past was a wound so deep that her bones could be seen. Her skin and flesh had already rotted and had maggots. Even if she used the best rouge and face powder to cover it up, the stench and pain still followed her like a shadow. She could deceive the eyes of others, but she couldn't deceive herself.
"Silly girl." Jiang Pengji sighed slightly. "Even if you're just an idle person, I see you as my sister. Even if you don't do anything and just act as a rich and idle person, I can still afford to take care of you. So what if it's your past? With me around, who dares to say a word about it? "
A person couldn't be bound by the past. She admired and felt sorry for Huijun. Naturally, she hoped that she could focus on the future.
Jiang Pengji thought that Huijun was getting into a dead end because of her identity, so she said, "If someone makes irresponsible remarks, let that person come to me. When we return to Wanzhou, I'll get someone to arrange a new identity for you. At that time, you can set up your own household and be your own master … "
Huijun, who was originally sad, suddenly burst into laughter. She was amused by Jiang Pengji's words, but the latter didn't know what had happened.
Although they were both women, Jiang Pengji's brain was fundamentally different from that of a normal person. Naturally, she wasn't as meticulous as Huijun. She could understand why Huijun was sad, but she couldn't understand why Huijun would suddenly laugh. The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.
Jiang Pengji suddenly remembered what the audience in the streaming room had said. She thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
He felt that he had excluded himself from the category of "women".
"Langjun, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to do my best for you." At this point, Huijun bit her full lower lip and said hesitantly, "I'm not very knowledgeable, but I do know that the logistics are lacking now. Continuing to delay will only bring harm to Langjun. The General in charge of the Jiamen Gate Pass is a lustful man. Langjun only needs to let me show myself in front of him. Even if I can't seduce him, I can at least make his soldiers suspicious of me. Once the army is not united, their combat power will be affected … This is very beneficial to us … "
Jiang Pengji frowned. She still didn't approve of it.
"It's too dangerous. There's no need."
"Langjun!" Huijun plucked up her courage and grabbed Ji Yunshu's sleeve. Her tone carried the coquettish tone of a woman. "Please allow this concubine."
Jiang Pengji was indifferent. Her eyelids drooped. Her words left no room for negotiation. "No means no."
Huijun was a little discouraged, but she knew that Jiang Pengji was cold on the outside and soft-hearted on the inside. She might agree to this kind of thing if she was tortured a little more.
"Why not?"
After all, she had volunteered.
Jiang Pengji said, "Even though Captain Meng said that Fu Wang is a good man, a general on the battlefield and a man in daily life are two completely different concepts. The latter will show mercy out of kindness, but the former will only consider the overall situation. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is heartless. Even if you are his wife or concubine, he will not be soft-hearted when he needs to sacrifice you, let alone a woman sent by the enemy. You have read a lot of unofficial history of the previous dynasty. The ancestor of the Meng's, Meng Jing, was known as the 'White Dragon among men.' In order to boost the morale of the defeated soldiers, he personally killed his concubines and used their flesh to cook food. Isn't this heartless enough? He is the God of War that history praises. "
Huijun's face turned pale. She knew what Jiang Pengji was worried about.
As expected —
"If Fu Wang is a little more ruthless and kills you personally in order to stabilize the morale of the army and gain the trust of others, what will happen then? Beauty is indeed a weapon, but I hope that it can protect you and not become a double-edged sword that hurts you. You don't have to say anything more about this, I won't agree to it. "
Huijun had no choice but to run into a wall with Jiang Pengji.
The next day, she was about to go to the barracks when she coincidentally ran into Feng Zhen, who was feeling uneasy because of his alcohol addiction.
Based on Feng Zhen's years of experience with women, he had long discovered that Huijun's appearance was fake. Under her plain and unadorned appearance, she must be a peerless beauty. However, she stayed by his lord's side. Feng Zhen could only admire her from afar and guess at her true appearance. He didn't dare to flirt with her.
"What's wrong with you, Lady Hui?"
Feng Zhen saw that she had a troubled look on her face and couldn't help but ask.
Who would dare to bully someone under his lord's protection?
Huijun was immersed in her own thoughts when she heard someone call her. Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly woke up.
"Good morning, Mr. Feng."
She was still dressed like an ordinary soldier. Seeing Feng Zhen walk two steps closer, Huijun's expression became more flustered.
Feng Zhen frowned. He became more cautious and suspicious.
Staying in this barracks, with the lord's protection, who could make Huijun show an expression of unease?
"Did Lady Hui run into some trouble?" Feng Zhen asked.
Huijun thought about it and looked around. Her eyes signaled for Feng Zhen to step aside and talk.
She told him about her worries, which made Feng Zhen look at her in surprise.
"Mr. Feng?"
Feng Zhen came back to his senses and said, "Lady Hui's worries are not without reason. Using beauty to sow discord is indeed a solution. Jiamen Pass was abuzz with discussion. Everyone said that Fu Wang wanted to pledge allegiance to the lord. If a peerless beauty appeared now, even if Fu Wang had a mouth full of mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. However, Lady Hui, think carefully. If you do that, not only will you be at a disadvantage, but your life will also be in danger. "
In order to eliminate rumors, the best way was to kill the beauty who offered herself to him.
From what Fu Wang had done in the past, he was quite ruthless. It was not impossible for him to destroy a beauty.
Huijun gritted her teeth and said, "If I can share Langjun's worries, I am willing to do it. Please advise me on how to get Langjun to agree. "
Feng Zhen's expression became even more strange.
He sighed and said, "Femme fatale."
Huijun's expression froze. He hurriedly added, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the lord."
Being able to make a good little girl sacrifice herself like this was more terrifying than femme fatale.
"Lady Hui, come forward and talk. You only need to say this to the lord …"
