Jintian Wugengo: “I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s my first ti seeing soone recruit a strategist like that. Strear, even if you’re seeking death, don’t do that. If this matter is circulated, will you still be able to recruit people in the future? Who’s going to work for you if there are no employees? There should be a limit to your death-seeking ga!”
Ni Cai: “I was thinking that if Liu Bei said to Zhuge, “If you don’t work for , you won’t be able to walk about this door” in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, do you think that the three kingdoms would be divided? Hahaha. I died laughing. The strear is peculiar.”
Shibushi Zhende: “Although I’m very surprised, it really suits the strear’s character. It’s indeed what she’s able to say. However, the strategists in the ancient society have their own pride. He may not submit himself to such threatening ans. Now that Yang Si’s life is threatened, he may agree to the strear’s solicitation and pretend to be polite and compliant to her in order to survive. Then he’ll stab the strear in her back when she’s caught off guard...”
The user above could be considered as a know-it-all. Did Yang Si not do the sa to his old master, Prince Changshou?
The key thing was that Prince Changshou only treated him coldly, ordered him around, and showed no consideration for his dignity. On the other hand, Jiang Pengji just directly threatened Yang Si’s life. By comparing the two, it seed that Yang Si would hate Jiang Pengji even more.
There were many onlookers in the streaming room. Except for a small number of viewers who could make serious comnts, the other viewers were just hilarious.
Sishui Liunian: “Tsk, tsk. You guys are still too young. If the strear successfully recruits Yang Si, she’ll definitely dump a pile of trivial official docunts on him and exploit his labor to the maximum. She’ll ensure that he won’t have ti for any private activities apart from sleeping, eating, and going to the toilet. He’ll be as busy as a bee and he won’t be able to rember anything else... It’ll take at least six months for the situation to beco clear!”
Sishui Liunian: “Do you think a person like the strear won’t be able to make him stay loyal to her in six months’ ti?”
The viewers posted a bunch of ellipses upon seeing the bullet screen. It made a lot of sense that they actually had nothing to say in reply.
What Jiang Pengji needed the most now was capable people. Everything would be fine as long as they could complete their work.
Laosiji Lianng: “Haha. I haven’t watched the streaming in a long ti, but the strear is still the sa. Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. The strategists each have their own temper. Perhaps the strear’s overbearingness suits Yang Si’s preference even more. After all, you have to believe that the strear isn’t an ordinary person. Furthermore, Wei Ci and Yang Si are good friends. Can Wei Ci watch him cause trouble?”
Indeed, Wei Ci could not watch Yang Si stab Jiang Pengji in her back, but he did not want Jiang Pengji to move in on Yang Si as well. If that happened, who would dare pay allegiance to her in the future?
“Lord...”
Seeing that they were ready to jump at each other’s throat, Wei Ci could not help but call out nervously.
Jiang Pengji ignored Wei Ci and continued, “Please don’t think that I’m willful and overbearing. It’s just that this place is the governnt office and the docunts which have been set aside are related to the district’s livelihood. The calamity in Fengyi County has just passed. I don’t want to invite any unnecessary trouble at this point of ti.”
Yang Si could beco her subordinate and it would then be fine for him to walk around in the governnt office. Otherwise, in order to keep the ‘secrets’, even if Yang Si could leave the governnt office, he would not be able to leave Chengan District.
Unperturbed, Yang Si asked interestedly instead, “Did you make Zixiao stay by the sa ans?”
He knew Wei Ci well. He would not join in the ga that early, let alone assist a little boy with a bad temper. He had been confused before. Now that he had seen it for himself, he felt that he had uncovered the truth.
Jiang Pengji replied narcissistically, “Of course not. Zixiao admires my talents and takes the initiative to look out for from thousands of miles away.”
Wei Ci looked sowhat embarrassed. Yang Si almost failed to maintain a straight face. He had seen narcissistic people, but he had never seen such a narcissistic and confident boy.
Yang Si said bluntly, “You’re not the wise lord who I am looking for.”
He had disliked Huang Song for being too immature. He would despise a willful and mischievous little boy like Jiang Pengji even more.
Jiang Pengji responded, “I didn’t say that I’ll make you stay here forever.”
Yang Si and Wei Ci were struck dumb and looked at her with surprise. What did she an?
She continued, “Having freeloaded so many als in the governnt office these days and seeing Zixiao and I being so busy, does your conscience not hurt? At any rate, you should help us out and pay for the food. After that, you’re free to go anywhere. I won’t make you stay.”
Yang Si’s face turned slightly livid. Did she plan to make him beco a casual laborer just because she was unhappy about him not paying for his als?
Wei Ci secretly put his hand on his forehead. Forget it. He really could not expect his lord to recruit talents by treating worthy n with courtesy.
Yang Si responded with an “oh” and smiled expressively. “I can help you handle the governnt affairs of Chengan District and assist you temporarily. However, aren’t you afraid that I’ll leak the information when I leave and put you in an unfavorable situation?”
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes and replied indifferently, “Perhaps the entire Wanzhou will be in my hands when you leave instead of just Fengyi County.”
Her tone was flat, but Yang Si could sense her irresistible and absolute confidence.
“You have such wild ambitions,” Yang Si responded. “Are you disregarding the royal family of Dongqing?”
Anyhow, Dongqing had not been completely destroyed.
“I heard that you originally served Prince Changshou. Could you not know what Prince Changshou’s sche was when he besieged Chenzhou with his troops in the na of ridding the emperor of ‘evil’ ministers?” Jiang Pengji said indifferently, “The old saying goes well. Are the powerful and noble people born with their standing? Isn’t it a matter of course that I, Liu Xi, can occupy the four districts in Fengyi County as the district magistrate of Xiangyang District?”
Wei Ci was initially worried that Jiang Pengji would be really hated by Yang Si, but as their conversation carried on, he had cald down instead. Yang Si had wild ambitions and he would go beyond his bounds. Jiang Pengji’s arrogance was very much to his appetite instead.
Especially when she said, “Are the powerful and noble people born with their standing?”, it hit Yang Si right in the spot. In today’s world, even if one was talented, it was impossible for one to advance further without looks, family background, and fa...
Did Yang Si not beco an official through Prince Changshou because he ‘recruited people without overstressing qualifications’ and ‘assigned jobs to whoever was talented’?
However, Prince Changshou was just putting on an act and did not really not mind one’s origin. It was inevitable for Yang Si not to be at odds with him.
Jiang Pengji sounded pretty dauntless. “... Besides Fengyi County, Wanzhou, Dongqing and even the five kingdoms... I want to go wherever my feet can stand. I can do what my predecessors can’t do.”
At that mont, the smile on Yang Si’s face seed quite forced.
He goaded. “You only have a part of Fengyi County and the surrounding areas are coveted by the Tsing Yi Army and the Red Lotus Group. Aren’t you afraid of putting yourself in danger by bragging so much?”
Jiang Pengji replied, “The earthquake in Dongqing just happened last year. There were many casualties and the land was full of famished refugees. I took thousands of troops and 20,000 commoners with and carried out a long-range raid on Xiangyang District. At that ti, Xiangyang District was occupied by nearly 10,000 mbers of the Tsing Yi Army. What happened in the end? Xiangyang District is still mine. This year, Fengyi County which was occupied by the Tsing Yi Army has also beco mine. The entire northern land will be mine next year.”
