Chapter 701: A Badger Game (I)

Jiang Pengji temporarily shut down the live stream . She quickly washed up before changing into her home wear .

“Jing Rong, help me get a painting . It’s on the table, behind the screen in the commander’s tent . Please bring it along to the banquet . ”

Yang Si did as he was told .

No matter how Yang Si saw it, his lord was obviously an incomparably handsome youth .

Her youthful complexion was filled with the unique vitality that suited her age . Moreover, she was endowed with a maturity that her peers lacked .

How could any normal person discover her identity as a woman?

But the fact remained — she was undoubtedly a legitimate woman .

Rumor had it that she’d be going to the banquet by herself . She rejected Feng Zhen’s company and Yang Si approved of her decision .

Feng Zhen, that punk, had no sense of what’s important . His wastrel ways had no boundaries . He went wayward whenever wine and beauties were before him . As such, it was likely he’d ruin everything .

How could a fellow like him help share the lord’s burden at the banquet?

If she were a man, it’d be fine if he was forced to drink until drunk . Perhaps he’d be in luck with finding love . When he awoke the next day, there’d be a fragrant and tender beauty by his side . When someone offers themself to you, it is an advantage that you might as well take .

However, his lord was a lady, so it would be inappropriate for her to drink so much in that setting . The people around her would need to be cautious . Yang Si took this responsibility seriously .

But Yang Si had carelessly forgotten one matter…

Jiang Pengji could drink them all under the table .

“Although the artist of this painting didn’t sign it, from the strokes and style… was this drawn by Zixiao?”

When Yang Si picked the painting, it was already half unfolded .

He casually took a glance at it and could instantly guess who’d drawn it .

“Yes . Before the army departed, I requested a painting to use it for publicity . ” Jiang Pengji walked forward to admire the drawing on the scroll . Then she said humorously, “Of all the people I know, Zixiao’s artistic skills are the best . I also appreciate his drawing style . Jing Rong, if you’d never been to Xiangyang district and you saw the prosperous sight in the painting, would your heart be moved?”

Yang Si’s expression was rather strange . He seemed to be troubled by something .

But the words that proceeded from his mouth were indifferent . “A place where peace reigns… that is the heart’s desire of everyone . ”

Judging only the contents of the painting, those who were ignorant would have such futuristic thoughts when they saw it .

Nonetheless…when Wei Ci’s drawing skills were mentioned, he suddenly remembered something .

He remembered that Wei Ci had once drawn a painting of a woman . Strangely, it was his prized possession . As he recalled the woman in the painting now, it made him terribly afraid .

From the start, Yang Si had been unaware of Jiang Pengji’s true identity . But after he saw that painting, thoughts arose in his head that Wei Ci might have hidden intentions .

Now that the truth was out, he realized that the woman in the painting was obviously the lord herself .

Couldn’t it be that the lord had wanted Wei Ci to keep it a secret, but as a gentleman (and pervert), Wei Ci had felt other feelings for the lord?

Jiang Pengji noticed that there was something wrong with Yang Si’s expression . However, she didn’t probe, she just put the painting away carefully .

“This is a treasure to expand our business . I intend to honor it as our god of fortune . Perhaps we can earn a hefty amount of money from this . ”

She turned on the livestream and 150,000 viewers instantly filled the room .

When the time for the banquet came, the sky was already quite dark and countless torches were lit in the alliance army’s tents . They appeared as red spots that matched the dark skies .

She wore her usual garments and covered herself with a thick cloak made from rabbit fur .

Her juvenile aura was enhanced while her valiant spirit was downplayed . This made her appear more scholarly .

When one looked at her, she didn’t appear like one who stayed in the army . Instead, she seemed more like a rich master from a certain family who was out on holiday .

She was surrounded by her personal guards, while Yang Si rode his horse unhurriedly and followed behind .

Xu Bei’s campsite was at the center of the alliance army . Military camps were scattered everywhere while the commander’s tent was in the center, like stars surrounding the moon .

She looked around, discovering that Xu Bei certainly liked to display his wealth . He was undoubtedly worthy of being a descendant of the Xu family .

Every soldier was armored and carried weapons that were uniformly made . Their quality was high-end, and each set demanded an exorbitant cost .

Then she thought of the many soldiers and generals under Xu Bei’s command . If every one of them was equipped with a set, how wealthy must they be to equip all of them completely?

She was left speechless and in awe of these aristocrats who were so wealthy and willful .

Within the tent, a youth adorned with luxurious garments sat on the esteemed seat of honor, frowning as he conversed with his confidante .

When they heard a commotion from outside, everyone went silent . They turned their gaze outside the tent as they awaited Jiang Pengji’s arrival .

Shortly after, the entrance to the tent was lifted from the center . Xu Bei stood up from his seat and stepped forward to receive his important guest .

An elegant youth adorned with a cloak made from rabbit fur entered the camp . Her stoic features seemed devoid of emotions . She totally dissipated the happening atmosphere of the tent . Xu Bei’s subordinate surveyed her dressing, feeling doubt in his heart…

This person had worn her home wear . This attire seemed inappropriate for the banquet . She looked more like a friend who had come to visit .

Although it wasn’t rude, her choice of clothes was inappropriate .

“Is this the son of Magistrate Liu? Indeed, he is an outstanding and accomplished youth . ”

Xu Bei’s appearance was somewhat handsome . Coupled with his scholarly aura, it made him very attractive .

The viewers who watched the live stream were up in arms . It was an uproar from those judges . As Xu Bei led Jiang Pengji into the tent, he made an ardent speech .

“When I saw you enter just now, a sense of familiarity suddenly dawned on me as if we’ve known each other for a long time . If I remember correctly, we are of similar age and we belong to the same generation . If Magistrate Liu doesn’t mind my average aptitude, why don’t we address each other as brothers?”

Jiang Pengji smiled and praised him . “The honor is all mine to call County Chief Xu my brother . How could I not accept your invitation?”

Xu Bei was accustomed to pleasing others since he was the elder in the family . Inevitably, this brought both them closer .

Yang Si’s seat was designated by Jiang Pengji’s side but to the back . During the banquet, the others scrutinized her discreetly .

Even though she was young, none one present dared to belittle her . Even Xu Bei himself, who flaunted his honorable status at every opportunity, had to accord her respect .

Putting aside her relationship with Liu She, Jiang Pengji did not rely on her family background nor her father to occupy Wanzhou . At such a tender age, she had already far surpassed the masses . If they added on Liu She’s powers, who would dare to offend her in the alliance army? They need not worship her, but they would not want to be her enemy .

If not for the lack of military strength Liu She and Jiang Pengji possessed, even if the Xu brothers aspired to take the position of alliance chief, they’d be helpless .

The most important guest had taken her seat . Xu Bei ordered his servants to serve the wine and sumptuous meal .

Then he turned to ask her again . “Younger brother, do you enjoy music and dance?”

As she was about to reject, the bullet screen in the live streaming room flooded with comments .

We absolutely enjoy it!!!

Let go of the beautiful songstress and dancer, let me have them!!!

Jiang Pengji swallowed back her words and kept silent . With her usual expression, she replied, “I’m alright . ”

Her reply reached Xu Bei’s ears and was interpreted as a reserved answer . He translated it as “I love it . ”

He revealed a profound smile, then he raised his brows somewhat and said, “Elder brother understands . What hero could resist beauties?”

In the background, Yang Si lowered his head with embarrassment .

The audience voiced his inner thoughts . They made known what he felt in his heart and translated it as “what an idiot!”
