Meng Hun was delighted. So was that a yes? There seemed to be a “but” from Jiang Pengji.

“Just… Are you willing to sacrifice your life for a scum bag like him?”

Meng Hun forced himself to smile. “Do you know what it is to look upon human lives as if they were grass? My life is worthless, but it would be worth something if I could use it in exchange for Meng Liang’s. Thousands of people want him dead but they have no clue who he is––not to mention if we kill him, we get revenge for your family.”

Jiang Pengji sighed and asked him, “You can only stop letting it eat away at you after you kill him?”

Meng Hun nodded hard. “That’s right; he has to die, or I will never give up chasing after him even if it means I turn into a ghost after I die.”

Meng Liang was desperate. He sat aside from them and he knew there was no way for him to get away.

His had almost lost his voice from screaming constantly, but he still couldn’t excuse himself.

What had he done wrong? Which part had he done wrong?

He was born to be the Mengs’ child, and he was born to be honored and spoiled with the great wealth that his family had. Why did it matter if two pariah were dead or not?

There was a perfect word to describe his look at the moment, which he wouldn’t learn even if he was about to be killed.

Jiang Pengji sighed and said to him, “Okay. Since you are so determined…”

Meng Hun’s subordinates kneeled on the ground before Jiang Pengji after she finished her words. They begged her and said that each of them would like throw their own lives away for Meng Hun.

It was a good deal if they would give their own lives away for Meng Liang’s cheap life and, at the same time, save the rest of their people.

“Lang Jun, County Military Chief has to be alive. He has had such a tough life and he is needed by all our comrades. I can do this. I don’t have parents or a family to take care of. Death would be an easy end since I have no cumbrance at all.”

“Don’t listen to him. It should be me and no one is fighting with me for this!”

All the viewers in the stream room were touched.

If the viewers were in Meng Hun’s people’s shoes, they wouldn’t want to give up their lives for him––especially since there was no blood bond between them.

Laosiji Lianmeng: “From our modern perspective, these people from an ancient society are not just stupid––they are ridiculous, too. They have an absolute sincerity that modern people don’t possess, however. A decent man would die for his confidant––it is not just empty talk.”

Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan: “I am starting to resent the host. It feels like she schemes to exchange her fake righteousness for other people’s sincerity.”

Dahao Daguazi大好大瓜子: “I feel the same way, since you brought it up. It feels like she is way too indifferent.”

Shanghaojia Xiapi上好佳虾皮: “Me too.”

Most of the viewers were feeling similarly, even though Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan didn’t have the intention of leading them down that path.

When people showed the resentment to a certain subject, there had to be someone that felt differently.

Bufu Nilaidawoa: “The host never has a bottom line and no one ever said that she was a good person… But somehow you guys just learned that?”

Zhende Jiangshan Ruhu: “It would be the real her, only if she is cold blooded. I would rather name that as rational than cold blooded. Only this type of person could adjust well and merge into any environment. She doesn’t cause trouble to her surroundings, but the people who stand against her will have a bad run of things.”

Wanwan: “Just keep your mouth shut. You can go for it if you think you are competent. Did she ever say that she was genuine and kind?”

Yiye Chengzhou: “Even so, Nongfu Shanquan Youdianxuan didn’t say it exactly wrong. She is trading her fake righteousness for other people’s sincerity. Why does it matter as long as she treats County Military Chief well, unlike Meng Zhan?”

The viewers were uncomfortable with the idea, but they had to admit that they didn’t like the hypocritical, fake saints who played like they were innocent but had no principles.

Every now and then, people expected to see a positive side of a person, especially on certain matters. They criticized whoever performed ruthlessly. It was the same with Jiang Pengji. What she had done was out of the mass’s expectations, so it naturally caused an aversion for others.

Laosiji Lianmeng: “Those who are looking for the white lotus who can keep stainless from the dust, you are in the wrong place. You might as well go watch the television shows. I have to remind you that the host is meant to do great things. You either take the realm or fall to be an outlaw as an experience in the long history. The way she chooses makes her either become the queen, or she will die.”

How bizarre would it be if a white lotus contended for hegemony?

What other methods could she use if not her wisdom or scheming? Did she have to take advantage of her sexual privilege to please the people who could help her climb to the top?

If that was so, they might as well watch some porn.

Porn was high definition and there were even some close-up shots. It was joyful to watch the pretty girls in porn… The host? She didn’t have the hourglass figure.

The bullet screen didn’t impact Jiang Pengji much. She chose to neglect them because it was not necessary to make any explanations.

Why would she give a d*mn about other people’s opinions if it was what she wanted to do?

The room was full of voices of soldiers striving to die for Meng Hun. One of them even attempted to commit suicide.

“What the heck are you guys doing?” Jiang Pengji quickly snatched the dagger from him and cast it far away from him.

Suicide was the most annoying behavior to her. It was an entirely cowardly action, no matter what the initial purpose was.

“Everyone stand up. I have a solution to deal with this. You should feel shame about weeping and whining about killing yourselves!” Jiang Pengji was not impressed and she had a furious look on her face. She really flipped out about it.

The one who intended to take his own life was under the surveillance of the rest, just in case he tried to do something silly again.

Nobody noticed the reprimand in her tone because their concentration was on the first sentence that she had said.

She scolded them with anger. “I’m doing this just to save my family––it has nothing to do with you or the others. I just want my family to get out of this catastrophe in one whole piece. I don’t give a d*mn about whoever wants to live or die. It is never my business, just don’t do it in front of me!”

One of Meng Hun’s subordinates couldn’t wait to ask, “Did you come up with a good strategy, Langjun?”

“Not really a good strategy, but it will still be wiser than yours.” She seemed steadfast and said, “Meng Liang is really not worthy of being alive considering all that he has done. I have no problem transferring him to you, and it will be entirely your decision if you want to take his life or torture him first. But it is not an easy case to keep all of you safe.”

The guy continued, “We are all listening to you, Langjun. We will have to make sure that happens, no matter what it takes.”

Meng Hun had no chance to interrupt. Everyone was keeping their eyes on him just in case he decided to take his own life first.

“First of all, you are going to take the blame that you abducted and killed Meng Liang…”

The same man was dazed and said with a sense of confusion, “We are the ones that are going to kill him. Is there really anyone who wants to compete with us for the crime?”

Jiang Pengji was speechless.

To be serious, boy, you were kind of cute.

She ignored him and said, “The Meng’s will not be able to let the matter go as soon as they receive the message of Meng Liang’s death.”

Meng Hun finally grasped the chance to speak. “Meng Zhan has been suspecting the blood of First Langjun, but he wouldn’t recognize him as the pure blood of the Meng’s. He suggested multiple times the tendency that Meng Liang had to take domination of the lineage. If Meng Liang dies, the successor of the Meng’s will land on First Langjun, which would be the worst scenario for Meng Zhan.”

There was a big chance that Meng Zhan would go nuts if Meng Liang was really dead.

“That is what I was about to say.” She pursed her lips and said with a caution, “I had a slight concern when I heard about the turmoil in Meng County, Cang Prefecture from Meng Liang. You know, Meng County in Cang Prefecture is rather close to Hejian County. Even the Meng’s own military forces sealed the information about this, it will spread to Hejian County eventually…”
