Feeling a little awkward after being refuted by Xiao Tang, Di Yanhen touched the tip of his nose.
He never expected that Xiao Tang would call him impolite.
"Your Highness, I'll continue then..."
Di Yanhen didn't understand a single word of what Xiao Tang said after that.
Even listening to celestial texts is nothing compared to this.
Although he couldn't understand it, Di Yanhen subconsciously felt that this person was a formidable character, perhaps even better than Guan Liang.
Xiao Tang finished reading, looked up, and smiled at him, "Your Highness, how was it?"
Seeing Di Yanhen's pensive expression, Xiao Tang was certain that she had successfully fooled him.
Although the male protagonist in the book is portrayed by the author as someone who is skilled in both literature and martial arts, he has never led troops into battle.
The safety of the entire Great Sheng Dynasty was secured by the Regent's individual efforts, one soldier at a time.
Di Yanhen, however, possessed martial arts skills but lacked strategic acumen.
The fact that he was able to establish a rebel army must have been the pinnacle of his intelligence.
Di Yanhen nodded. "What's your name?"
"Your Highness, my surname is Zhang and my given name is San."
"Zhang San?" Di Yanhen nodded. "That's a good name. Where do you live? Where are you from?"
[...You're calling Zhang San a good name, but this isn't how you praise someone.]
"Your Highness, I am a fortune teller from Beisheng Town. You can go and ask him."
Xiao Tang made up a story off the top of his head.
Beisheng Town is a small town located on the border between Beijiang and Dasheng.
It shouldn't be difficult to find someone named Zhang San in such a large town.
She could clearly see that the man's expression wavered slightly.
It seems her words had an effect.
Before long, Di Yanhen nodded in agreement, "Alright, then I'll observe your performance first. If you pass muster, I'll keep you here."
"Your Highness!" A female soldier following behind him hurriedly called out to him.
After all, this person's origins are unknown.
Xiao Tang glanced at her sideways.
Goodness.
These two beautiful female warriors are much prettier than Xiao Rourou.
Xiao Rourou knew she was about to vomit blood, right?
"Your Highness, this person's true identity is still uncertain. We must not let him live."
"No need to say more, I have my own arrangements for this matter." He raised his hand to stop her. "Qiao Si and Qiao Yu, you two take this Mr. Zhang to rest."
The two women exchanged a glance.
They all looked at Xiao Tang.
It was as if he was glaring right through her.
Xiao Tang shrugged lightly, as if nothing had happened, and took the initiative to walk forward.
After walking a few steps, she looked around.
I wonder how things are going with Di Jingling?
This one military camp alone is clearly not enough.
How about... we also take the military treatise from Di Yanhen's place to have a look?
From any perspective, she can easily control the male lead.
Qiao Si, with her sharp eyes, noticed that her gaze was searching around, and asked in a shrill voice, "The way Zhang Junshi is looking around is like a country bumpkin who just came to the city. How stupid."
Qiao Yu tugged at her sleeve, reminding her not to say anything out of line.
Qiao Si angrily broke free from her hand.
Hearing their angry tone, Xiao Tang chuckled, "Gentlemen, I'm originally from the countryside, so what? You look down on the countryside? Then you might as well not eat, because the grain you eat is all grown by us."
"Also, since you respectfully call me strategist, you should show respect. Miss Qiao is too ignorant; she might get beaten to death if she goes out in the street."
"Are you cursing me?" Qiao Si's face darkened upon hearing this.
Xiao Tang waved her small hand indifferently.
She chuckled and replied, "No, I wasn't cursing you."
Qiao Si couldn't understand her hidden meaning and scoffed coldly, "I know you don't have the guts."
"I'm just giving you a piece of advice, because Miss Qiao's appearance suggests she'll have a short life."
"You bastard! You country bumpkin charlatan, I'll beat you to death!" Qiao Sike was really angry and raised her hand to swing it down at Xiao Tang's head, but Qiao Yu grabbed it.
Why are you pulling me?
"Sister, calm down. It's really not right for you to get angry over a mere charlatan."
While the two women were arguing, Xiao Tang entered the tent that had been prepared for her in advance.
It has to be said that the strategist has quite a lot of influence. In the huge military camp, everyone else sleeps together, but the strategist rests alone.
When Xiao Tang sat down, she could still hear the arguing outside.
She picked at her ear.
The system's voice kept echoing in his ears: [Burning military rations, 10 points. Burning military rations, 10 points.]
Okay, stop yelling, it's annoying.
The system is acting strangely today.
It's like they've been poisoned.
This usually cold and cunning system is surprisingly... like a stupid system today.
On the other side.
Di Yanhen instructed Qiao Si: "Go to Beisheng Town and find out who this Zhang San is."
Qiao Sizheng was furious.
Upon hearing this, she agreed without hesitation.
No matter what Zhang San's identity is, she'll just make up a bunch of lies and kill him.
A country bumpkin dares to dream of becoming a military advisor.
The position of strategist was originally intended for Guan Liang; it has nothing to do with him.
...
Xiao Tang waited until dark, wondering if the villain had returned safely.
Just then, they heard a commotion outside the tent.
"Someone has broken into our camp; it's probably the Regent's men."
"What are you waiting for? Go and catch them!"
Just by listening to the noise, one could sense a chaotic scene of fighting.
