Chapter 704: A Badger Game (IV)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

If he could turn Zhe County into a bustling city like the one portrayed by the painting, one with neat and orderly streets, and clean and healthy people… if he could govern the city until it prospered and attained its golden age… When that happened, his younger cousin, Xu Fei, would have no means of vying with him, even if their grandfather favored his younger cousin. The Xu family would also be in his possession and under his control because his grandfather, the clan leader, could not oppose a decision made by the elders in the clan.

Nevertheless, how could he sieve out information on synthesizing flash bricks?

While Xu Bei pondered over his strategy, the banquet came to an end. Meanwhile, Jiang Pengji identified those who were in Xu Bei’s tent.

Because they were intoxicated with wine by this point, Xu Bei brought to mind his purpose of inviting Jiang Pengji.

He attempted to test her. “…Does younger brother have any intention of taking on the alliance chief position? If you do, elder brother is sure to support you.”

She shook her head, both eyes shut. She was already intoxicated with wine.

“Truthfully, younger brother has commanded armies against our enemies countless times. I am already embarrassingly short on money and manpower. My soldiers are exhausted beyond measure. Because the people have to rest and rejuvenate, and to prevent a bad reputation of using military force indiscriminately, I have decided to rest for one to two years… At this alliance meeting, younger brother only wishes to join the event, as a formality, to prevent others from misunderstanding…”

Xu Bei glanced at Jiang Pengji and saw that both her cheeks were reddened. Her drunken state caused her eyes to stare blankly into space.

When she spoke, her strategist’s face went pale. He stood behind her with a facial expression that desired to stop her but was hesitant.

Was she… drunk already?

Xu Bei smiled. If she wasn’t dead drunk, how could she have let slip such an important piece of information?

Yang Si, who complimented Jiang Pengji’s acting, secretly curled his lips.

He arose to bow respectfully in a show of his support.

“My lord is drunk and has lost consciousness. If there are any inappropriate speeches or actions, I ask for County Chief Xu’s understanding…”

Xu Bei answered magnanimously. Again, Yang Si wanted to send his lord back.

Unexpectedly, he was held back by Xu Bei. Yang Si’s expression immediately turned sullen.

It was such a rare opportunity, how could Xu Bei let her off lightly?

This punk, Xu Bei was good at digging up information, but how could Jiang Pengji, who had superior acting skills, fall for it?

She only said what she’d wanted and had kept quiet about the other matters.

Even so, truths and lies formed a combination blow. Xu Bei’s heart was already filled with elation.

With his manipulation, Jiang Pengji surprisingly agreed to sell the recipe to synthesize flash bricks to him.

Nonetheless, to prevent conflicts from arising between the two powers, he did not insist or take advantage of Jiang Pengji by intentionally reducing the price.

When it ended, he offered the lead dancer to Jiang Pengji. He devised the plan to use a beauty to soothe his “younger brother’s” feelings. Thus, this would prevent her from having regrets after she regained consciousness.

“It is already deep in the night; the dew is everywhere and it’s snowing heavily outside. Perhaps younger brother could stay overnight at my campsite and leave tomorrow after you’ve rested from your drunken stupor.”

What else could Yang Si say? He could only grudgingly agree.

The gentle and frail dancer clothed in red, together with Yang Si, supported Jiang Pengji on her left and right. They sent her to another tent.

Xu Bei arranged accommodations for Yang Si nearby. The two tents were not far apart.

The dancer in red clothes subtly bent her head, revealing her fair, slender neck as she lowered her gaze.

“Master, please allow me to wait on Langjun.”

Under the light, the appearance of the gorgeous woman clothed in red was more appealing. Even Yang Si, who was single, when he gazed at her, paused to admire her beauty.

If the lord had no gender identity crisis to deal with, Yang Si would certainly be understanding and leave… but…

He was startled and stood firmly in his position. The dancer clothed in red stared at his feet without wavering. Both confronted the other discreetly.

At this, Yang Si turned to look at Jiang Pengji.

His lord laid down on her side, paralyzed on the mattress with her eyes tightly shut. She signaled with her fingers for him to get out.

Yang Si was surprised.

In today’s setting, indeed he should have let Feng Zhen, that wastrel, attend. He wouldn’t get involved anymore.

Yang Si swallowed this terrible temptation and coughed twice, then said to the dancer, “Serve my lord well.”

He was dumbfounded. Was the lord going to use this chance to reveal her gender?

Or else, was the lord, who was a female, attracted to women instead of men?

He quickly took his leave. The dancer clothed in red sent him out of the tent, then carried the lamp to the back of the inner chambers.

“Langjun?”

The dancer adorned in red garments called to her gently, but Jiang Pengji did not move.

In an uproar, viewers in the live streaming room shouted “666” out loud. Surely they weren’t going to showcase some X-rated war between women, were they?

Shenbulai Woziqu: I cannot take it anymore, not unless the streamer wants to reward us with benefits!”

Nushen Zaiwo Kuaxia: Surely it cannot be lesbianism? Disgusting, you must be sick. Wouldn’t it be better to watch males engage in homosexual acts instead?

Hacker Wen Xiangpian: To the viewer above, you are the revolting one. All relationships are equal, regardless of one’s gender. This is the streamer’s livestreaming room. You are not welcome to make such low-down, rubbish comments.

Laosiji Lianmeng: To the viewer above, please pause there and do not ignite a fight. The streamer has always valued her privacy. In what scenario has the streamer ever not dressed appropriately before turning on the livestream? Do you think she will air the livestream to let you watch how she battles with this woman? You must be over-thinking! Based on my experience watching the livestream over the years, I’m certain the streamer is plotting some schemes, or… this dancer clothed in red is abnormal…

These were audience members who’d supported her for a long time indeed. They were the rational ones in the live streaming room. Naturally, they would not be so easily sucked into the fray.

“Langjun?”

As she spoke, she inched a step closer, then she lifted Jiang Pengji with her hands.

“He’s drunk indeed.”

Her tone suddenly turned cold. Her originally seductive, thick makeup now carried with it a sinister and ruthless look.

When this moment arrived, the viewers used exclamation marks to express their shock. What the… There was indeed something wrong with the dancer!

Guicai Guofengxiao: What the heck, this malicious lady is unsheathing her dagger! Streamer, be careful, don’t pretend to be asleep!

Her snow-white dagger was unsheathed. Without anyone noticing, she menacingly attempted to stab Jiang Pengji in the neck.

The dagger brushed past. The snow-white dagger with a silver glint like shiny silk dazzled and blinded their eyes. Viewers in the livestreaming room were so astonished that they were afraid to watch the livestream.

The dancer clothed in red could even foresee the scene where Jiang Pengji’s neck would be spewing forth blood in the next second.

However, the predicted scene did not unfold.

The speed at which she’d made her moves was lightning quick, but it had only succeeded at stabbing the pillow that was on the couch. Her target had already fled speedily.

Because of the strength she’d exerted on her dagger, it pierced through the thick wooden board beneath the mattress.

While the dancer was stunned, Jiang Pengji kicked her in the chest.

She failed to evade the kick. Her tender chest suffered from the strong impact, causing her body to fly backward.

As the drama underwent a plot twist, the posts on the bullet screen in the live streaming room changed with it. The entire screen was filled with “666” comments and exclamation marks which expressed their astonishment.

Of course, there were also some random posts.

Hacker Wen Xiangpian: What the heck!? In that instant, I thought I was having a heart attack!

Lanse Xuanlu: If I were to make an analogy, before you make the first move, it’d be convex. After you take your first step, it’d be concave.

Moqianzui: To the one above, do you intend to make me laugh till I die so you can inherit my credits and loans?

Jiumo Miaoran: What the heck do you mean by “convex” and “concave”? Indeed, a genius has emerged from the live streaming room.

Indifferent at First Sight: Hahaha, I feel like putting a microphone in front of the streamer’s mouth to interview and ask her what she felt in that instant when their feet touched.

She seemingly smiled as she admired that dancer clothed in red, taking some time off to send a post to the audience.

Streamer V: So tender and bouncy, @Indifferent at First Sight, what a pity it dirtied my feet.
