Chapter 1309 – Taking Down Huang Song, Uniting Dongqing (Fifty-One)
The idle folks were nonstop giving Wei Ci a shoutout, double-tapping 666, my dude!
While others see the streamer as either a bro or a dude, only Wei Ci boldly faced “the man,” truly a role model in the warrior world.
In the past, I always thought Wei Ci was too introverted and delicate, but now… wow, he sure knows how to charm the ladies!
The single dogs weren’t having it, watching a live stream only to get served dog food.
【Xingyue Tianyun】: One kick to overturn this bowl of lovey-dovey dog food!
【Handsome Little Loli】: The single dogs rejected this dog food and threw it back—
【Shi Yu】: Caught off guard by a mouthful of dog food, this dog food baby refuses (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
【Drunk Acting Na He】: Hahaha, a counterattack from the frog, has the streamer been charmed by the traveling frog?
The onlookers laughed, while those single older folks felt a sense of threat!
【Small Small Small Gong】: Wait—don’t you think the streamer and the beautiful Wei Ci have been flirting way too frequently lately?
What was the frequency before?
After a long drought comes sweet rain!
If it weren’t for the streamer occasionally mentioning Wei Ci, they would’ve suspected this couple was already cooled off.
Now, what’s the frequency?
Like a high school exam, a little test every three days, a big one every five days, and a monthly exam every month!
【Yuzi Xu】: Sigh, the streamer is no longer one of us single dogs; you’ve been expelled from the single dog alliance!
【Yao Ying Yun】: Even frogs are charming the ladies now, the world has no place for single dogs anymore!
Jiang Pengji couldn’t help but laugh.
Fortunately, she swallowed that mouthful of rice; otherwise, she would have lost her composure.
Wei Ci graciously accepted the empty bowl she handed him and filled it up again, packing it down.
Jiang Pengji had an appetite multiple times that of an ordinary adult male, and Wei Ci had long since become accustomed to it; he didn’t worry about her overeating but rather if she was still hungry. The last emperor suffered from a serious stomach ailment because the royal doctors said it stemmed from years of unreasonable eating habits.
In this life, he had to keep a close watch—she couldn’t go astray.
“What’s making the Lord smile?” Wei Ci asked.
Jiang Pengji chuckled, “I used to think Zixiao was a bit dull and passive, but now that he’s let loose, it’s truly eye-opening!”
Wei Ci smiled gently.
That also depended on who the subject was.
Jiang Pengji covered her eyes with both hands, her lips hinting a tease, “Zixiao, don’t smile, you always get me feeling uncomfortable.”
Wei Ci’s smile froze, his jade-like skin tinged with a suspicious blush.
In terms of boldness, he was still a long way from Jiang Pengji.
The audience in the live stream erupted, one after another turning into pufferfish, channeling their anger into witty banter, the screen flooded with comments.
Can’t we just watch a live stream peacefully? Can’t you wait until the stream ends to flirt and feed each other dog food?
But Jiang Pengji refused to appease them, for the idle audience kept saying Zixiao was their brain prince and princess!
She was determined to let them see just who Wei Zixiao belonged to.
The idle audience had no words to respond.
As the stream ended on time, Jiang Pengji picked up her pen to write a reply to Qi Guanrang, carefully detailing what he needed to pay attention to.
Ta Xue was merely a discarded pawn; the main system had thrown her out just to test the waters.
If it succeeded, Jiang Pengji’s ambitions would surely be hindered, forcing her to halt for a time.
If it failed, it was just a sacrifice of an expendable pawn; the main system would remain safely hidden.
Poor Ta Xue was still completely unaware.
Reflecting on Qi Guanrang’s description of Ta Xue’s appearance and demeanor, Jiang Pengji felt an added disdain for the main system.
Even without seeing it firsthand, she could guess how the main system had seduced Ta Xue, leading her step by step to sell herself out.
“Come, deliver this letter to Qi Guanrang in Wanzhou with the utmost speed; the sooner, the better.”
Jiang Pengji had Wen Zheng stationed in Wanzhou, not because she feared that Yang Si wouldn’t endure the hardships of marching.
Qi Guanrang was her confidant and intimate; there were some matters she hadn’t even informed Wei Ci about, but Qi Guanrang was in the know.
Not that she didn’t trust Wei Ci, but simply because their characters differed—Qi Guanrang was better suited for this kind of task.
Moreover—
Wanzhou appeared calm, but it actually concealed lurking dangers, and she needed Qi Guanrang to keep an eye on things.
Once she dealt with Huang Song, she’d regroup and prepare to mobilize against Nan Sheng.
The situation across the land was mostly under her control; she wouldn’t believe the main system, lurking in the shadows, could continue to sit back and reap the rewards.
As autumn harvest approached, the sizzling heat began to cool off a bit.
Jiang Pengji dispatched scouts to survey the lands, keeping a close watch on the fertile fields, and Huang Song was also on high alert.
An invisible tension hung between the two armies.
At this sensitive moment, an unexpected visitor appeared before Jiang Pengji.
That day, with nothing to do, she took the troops for an autumn hunt in the nearby deep mountains; the prey during this season was the most plump.
The military rations weren’t great, and she wouldn’t indulge herself, eating what the ordinary soldiers ate, her taste buds had dullened.
Even with someone as beautiful as Wei Ci around to make the food more palatable, Jiang Pengji felt that the oil and water lately had been too scarce.
Thinking about how autumn harvest was approaching, the hunting season was perfect, and she wanted to lead her troops out to hunt.
Everyone naturally tried to stop her, worried that she might be ambushed and killed by the enemy!
Jiang Pengji raised her hands in assurance, “I won’t go far; just hunting for small animals in the forest near the camp, I won’t touch wild boar, bears, or wolves, and I’ll bring over a hundred guards with me. If anything seems off, I’ll come back immediately—”
After much persuasion, Wei Ci and the others finally relented. Jiang Pengji didn’t wait for them to change their minds; she whistled for Xiao Bai and jumped on the horse, dashing off.
“It’s been stifling lately; finally found a chance to let loose.”
Jiang Pengji said this to the live stream audience, but the accompanying Qin Gong misunderstood, thinking it was directed at him.
Qin Gong held back for a moment before awkwardly speaking up, trying to support a few of his military advisers and generals.
“The gentlemen are just worried about the Lord.”
The idle audience in the live stream laughed cheekily.
【Not as Good as Petting Cats】: Young Master Qin has no idea about the streamer’s power level; releasing the streamer from confinement will only lead to trouble for others!
【Clear Clear Lotus Leaf】: Jiang Pengji, known in the rivers and lakes as “Jiang Ri Tian,” is someone who can take on the heavens and earth; Young Master Qin is simply too young.
【Fluffy Sheep】: I hate to say it, but it suddenly reminds me of a certain male god who was also a hunting enthusiast; he went hunting alone and ended up poisoned by assassins sent by a nobleman. Streamer, don’t set that flag; you’ve made more enemies than the male god!
【Rather Not Take Postgraduate Exams】: If the streamer also gets shot with a poisoned arrow, that plot would be truly surreal.
Jiang Pengji glanced at the comments, smiling as she turned to Qin Gong.
“What’s there to worry about? Are you worried that I’ll suddenly get shot by a poison arrow from the dense forest?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gong’s alarm bells went off in his mind, his back instinctively hunching, anxiously scanning his surroundings.
