Seeing that Lu Shiyan didn't shy away from her, Jiang Tangtang didn't stand on ceremony either and directly asked about the doubts in her heart.
When she came in just now, she heard Liu Chengfeng say that both Prince Duan and Prince Rui had sent people to contact Lu Shiyan, saying that their princes wanted to see him.
"What do they want with you?"
Liu Chengfeng glanced at Lu Shiyan out of habit and said, "They must have taken a liking to your talent and want to win you over to serve them."
Jiang Tangtang frowned. "So they all know about the situation in Puzhou."
Liu Chengfeng said, "They have many spies under their command, so it's not surprising that they know about the situation in Puzhou."
"This is too passive." If their every move is under the other party's control, wouldn't their trip to Baiyue also be under their control?
Lu Shiyan noticed her worry and said, "Although they have many spies, they only know some superficial things."
The other side had no way of knowing that he had entered the Western Rong army camp several times.
The reason the other party targeted him was simply because he was in charge of recruiting soldiers.
Zhang Kui was also aware of the past situation in Puzhou. He deduced that the current Puzhou was simply a result of Zhang Kui's advice and that he saw Zhang Kui as having some value.
In fact, he had known all along that both sides had spies in Puzhou. He had been pretending not to know and letting both sides do as they pleased, simply waiting for an opportunity to eliminate them in one fell swoop.
Liu Chengfeng asked, "I wonder what your decision is, sir?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "Needless to say, of course I won't associate with two wolves and tigers."
She didn't know about Prince Rui, but she did know about Prince Duan.
Back then, Fang Mingming was kidnapped by human traffickers just to curry favor with that lecherous old man, Prince Duan.
Not only does she have a fondness for men, but she also prefers younger men.
Just thinking about it made Jiang Tangtang feel disgusted. She wanted nothing more than to kill him.
As for Prince Rui, she didn't know anything about his past. But the fact that he disregarded the lives of ordinary people and was only focused on seizing power suggested he wasn't a good person.
What good can come of following someone like that?
Even if Jiang Tangtang hadn't said anything, Liu Chengfeng already had a feeling. Lu Shiyan wouldn't side with those two kings.
The military strength of Prince Duan and Prince Rui was many times greater than that of Puzhou today.
But once you're under their control, you have to listen to them. Even if you eventually unify the country, you're still handing your life over to them.
And after these days of contact, Lu Shiyan's abilities were clearly higher than he had thought.
Many times, Lu Shiyan gave him the impression of having both the power of an emperor and the strategic acumen of a great general.
He didn't seem like a poor peasant boy at all. Instead, he seemed like a child of royal nobility who had been abandoned among the common people.
With such talent, he felt he was fully capable of fighting for that position.
Although Lu Shiyan is highly capable, his resources are ultimately too limited. With the current military strength of Puzhou, it would be difficult to even fight against the Western Rong, let alone offend the other two factions.
He said with some concern, "If you refuse, sir, I'm afraid the other party will become enraged, and then we'll be surrounded by enemies on three sides..."
After a moment of composure, Lu Shiyan said, "You should try to keep both sides calm. If we can hold them off for two days, they won't have time to keep an eye on us."
Liu Chengfeng was immediately filled with excitement. "Does Your Excellency have a way to resolve this predicament?"
Lu Shiyan didn't answer, but instead asked, "Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare before?"
Liu Chengfeng said, "Ready."
Lu Shiyan said, "I'll bring the things over in a bit."
Jiang Tangtang asked curiously, "What is it?"
Lu Shiyan noticed that not only was Jiang Tangtang full of curiosity, but Liu Chengfeng, the person who had helped him prepare the things, was also staring at him, clearly curious about what he was going to do.
He succinctly stated: "It is something that will incite the Western Rong and the two sides of King Rui and King Duan to start a war."
Jiang Tangtang's eyes widened instantly. "Can you do that? It must be very difficult, right?"
If the Western Rong did not attack Puzhou, but instead changed course to attack the lands within the sphere of influence of Prince Rui and Prince Duan, that would be ideal.
With the three forces locked in combat, they won't have time to keep an eye on Puzhou. While they recuperate, they can also take the opportunity to expand their military strength.
But none of the three parties are fools, so why would they let Lu Shiyan scheme against them?
Lu Shiyan said, "I have my own way."
Others may not know, but he does. Because of the stolen grain and the poisoning of his soldiers, Helian Heng was furious and had been searching for an internal traitor. However, the search for the traitor was proving to be very difficult.
What he needs to do now is to pin the blame for the theft of his grain and the poisoning of his soldiers entirely on the factions of Prince Rui and Prince Duan.
Helian Heng has been holding back his anger for so long. Once he finds out that it was actually those two groups who were behind it, he will definitely abandon the impoverished Puzhou and start a war with them instead.
However, apart from Jiang Tangtang, everyone else thought that the food supplies in the Western Rong army camp had been burned.
So he didn't explain much to Liu Chengfeng.
Although Liu Chengfeng was still a little confused, he was sensible and quickly withdrew after the matter was over.
After Liu Chengfeng left, Jiang Tangtang wanted to ask Lu Shiyan in detail what his method was. But before she could speak, Lu Shiyan asked first, "Tell me what important thing you accomplished."
Upon hearing his question, Jiang Tangtang immediately remembered the important matter she had come to see Lu Shiyan for today.
So she quickly told them how she had persuaded the Li family to move to the valley and how she had found outstanding talents for the valley.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Shiyan with bright eyes.
Although she didn't say it, her bright eyes and facial expression conveyed a clear message: "I'm amazing, aren't I! Praise me!"
Looking at her childlike expression, which seemed to be seeking praise, Lu Shiyan couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "Hmm! Very impressive."
Jiang Tangtang shook her head smugly. But thinking about Lu Shiyan's actions just now, she sniffed and snorted, "What kind of action was that? I'm not a kindergarten kid."
Lu Shiyan asked in confusion, "What garden?"
Jiang Tangtang realized she had misspoke and quickly changed the subject, "I promised to help Aunt Li move her things, can you help me tonight?"
You know Uncle Li is a blacksmith, and his family needs a lot of tools for forging. It would be inconvenient for them to move everything themselves, and it would also make the valley easily discoverable. It's better if I help them transport it; I have space, and it's convenient for them to move things.”
Lu Shiyan felt that she was sometimes really childish, thinking that she could distract him like that?
However, seeing that she didn't want to explain what she had just said, he didn't press her. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Tangtang threw herself into his arms with an exaggerated expression and said happily, "Husband, you're so good to me!"
Rou Ran's body rushed into his arms, and Lu Shiyan's heart skipped a beat. He gently pushed her away, trying to hide his unease, and asked, "When are we going tonight?"
"Let's go a little later! If we go too early, Aunt Li's house probably won't be ready yet."
Jiang Tangtang clung to him, refusing to leave, and even sneakily slipped her hand inside to touch his abs, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Actually, you just need to think it through.
Time travel wouldn't be bad either.
Look at that amazing figure! None of the male models she used to be supported by everyone's wallets were this good.
