Chapter 665: Alliance Meeting at Huangshui (II)

Some viewers were worried. Naturally, some felt pity.

The handsome Wang Jiexi: I feel sorry for Yang Si, he’s probably received a terrible shock. Even the onlookers were taken in by the host, not to mention Yang Si.

The clever and skillful Yu Wenzhou: Actually, I was thinking… Perhaps the reason that Yang Si was so shocked is not that the host is a woman, but because such a robust, valiant, and kick-ass lord who is also good at war turned out to be a woman! Can you imagine the King Kong Barbie version of Nezha?

Adorable alliance of old hands: To the comments above mine, your usernames are vicious! Hahaha! Speaking of which, the host is almost eighteen, how’s her cleavage coming in? She also has her period every month. It appears that she has been pursuing an update for so long, but I’ve never heard her mention it.

Out of this talent Guo Fengxiao: Speaking of this, I’ve suddenly thought of something that ‘Little angle Li Hanmei’ said which can be considered a classic line — such a tall and imposing man like our lord here is posing as a woman, for sure he hasn’t shown you everything that he’s capable of yet — don’t you think that’s funny?

Jiang Pengji glanced at the livestream and rolled her eyes.

Host V: Prepare yourselves, I intend to confess my identity in an official capacity at the Alliance Meeting in Huangshui. Whoever dares to make noise, I will hit them!

To capture Wanzhou as a woman and to be bestowed the title of its governor… it was quite touching when one thought about it.

On the other hand, Yang Si had been stunned out of his wits.

Just like what the livestream viewers had debated over, he did not know which was scarier, that his lord was a woman or that a lord like that was a woman. He searched for Wei Ci in a hurry, only to falter and stammer. He finally asked his question after a long while.

“Our lord…” Yang Si stammered for a good while. Wei Ci felt so confused as he watched him. He couldn’t wait to pluck the words out of his mouth.

Wei Ci held a brush in each hand and wrote some beautiful characters. He asked, “What’s wrong with our lord?”

One could say that he’d handled the official business quickly. He was a multitasker who could operate both arms separately for different tasks without any of the tasks interfering with the others.

Yang Si silently made a circle with both hands in front of his chest, the posture looking extremely vulgar.

“Female?”

Wei Ci stopped moving his hands and nodded.

Yang Si’s face turned dark. He wanted to grab Wei Ci by his collar and ask about the matter thoroughly, “Since when do you know?”

“I knew from the beginning.” Wei Ci asked him in an indifferent tone, “Couldn’t you tell?”

Yang Si did not know whether to find Wei Ci’s words – half teasing and half nettling – enraging or hilarious. He felt that everything he had experienced today was incomparably absurd. This was a nightmare.

“Our lord… How do you expect me to tell when she’s like that?” Yang Si felt even more depressed. If he was blind, then wasn’t the world populated by blind people? “I was in the Vanguard Battalion with our lord during the battle at Chengde County. She… There’s no trace that she’s a woman!”

She’d charged into battle more ferociously and killed more ruthlessly than anyone else. Her strength was greater than anyone else’s and her style of doing things was also more arrogant than anyone else’s… Was this the conduct of a noble daughter from an aristocratic family?

Wei Ci’s eyes became distant. He said, “Who told you that women can’t be gallant and good at fighting?”

Yang Si was stunned by this remark. He almost couldn’t catch his breath.

“You knew that she was a woman from the beginning but you still swore fealty… Perhaps you’re the crazy one!” As he said this, Yang Si felt another arrow striking his heart. He had once joked with Jiang Pengji about how he looked forward to her daughter ascending the throne… F*ck, he’d been just awful.

Wei Ci paid no attention at all. His thick and slender eyelids drooped slightly as he said indifferently, “She led the troops to capture Xiangyang County and took down Chengan, Maolin, and Jiaoping County in a three-way operation. She also captured Shangyang County from the Feng family. Chengde County was captured within half a month. She’s essentially become the master of Wanzhou in just a year and a half with tens of thousands of soldiers under her control… She’s qualified to contend for the position of Emperor of this land! You know my will and my ambition, how I only hope for the world to be unified and at peace. As long as my wish can be attained, what difference does it make to me if our lord is male or female?

Yang Si was dumbstruck, unable to answer.

After a long time, he whispered, “Who else knows the true gender of our lord?”

“Me, you, and Huaiyu. Nobody else knows.” Wei Ci put down his brushes and evenly spread out the bamboo slips he had written on. He dried the ink marks and said, “But even if others find out, they probably won’t have much of a reaction. Feng Zi Shi has the disposition of a wastrel. He’s unbridled, does as he pleases, and thinks that the ways of the world are nothing but sh*t. As for Qiguan Rang, even if he does not know the truth, he may be aware of it to a certain extent. Lastly, Xu Xiaoyu has an extraordinary friendship with our lord. He’s faithful and loyal. He has accompanied our lord from when she had no achievements or glory to where she is today. Why would he have a change of heart now?”

Yang Si was astonished. “Feng Huaiyu knows?”

He’d come to Wei Ci because he was worried about Feng Jin. After all, based on Feng Jin’s upbringing, he was the one who was least likely to accept the current situation.

In the end?

He already knew!

Wei Ci said evenly, “He knows. I’ve listened to Huaiyu as he talked. It happened that Changsheng was born during the earthquake. The capital was destroyed and nine out of the ten families collapsed. There were countless deaths and injuries. Our lord was the one who personally received Huaiyu’s eldest daughter, Changsheng, into this world. Do you think he doesn’t know?”

Yang Si was stunned silent.

He felt that his three values had each been dealt a devastating blow.

After he had calmed down, Yang Si suddenly remembered something.

“Why did she suddenly tell me when she has been hiding this from the world for so many years?”

Wei Ci said, “You still don’t know? As the governor of Wanzhou, her power is not great, but it’s not small either. It’s just the right time to reveal her identity. Let me tell you, this is just testing the waters to find out the minimum level of acceptance she will receive. Just wait, our lord will fully reveal her identity before the rescue of the Emperor comes to an end.”

Yang Si rubbed his brow. The amount of new information was too much. He needed time to calm down.

“Our lord is really scheming…”

He could not help but force a smile when he thought of the Women’s Battalion. So, she had begun her opening moves and made arrangements long ago.

“How would she have gotten to where she is today without a little bit of scheming?”

Wei Ci knew that, not only could she become the governor of a province, she would become the master of the world, the final victor in the competition for the throne.

Yang Si’s mind was in an uproar.

He found that it rather touching once he accepted the fact that the lord was female.

At least… Yang Si wouldn’t be so confused in the future when Jiang Pengji put the moves on Wei Zixiao.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something. “How is the relationship between the lord and her father?”

Wei Ci glanced at him and said, “It’s not bad.”

Yang Si pinched his chin, his mind churning out some dark thoughts. “I’ve heard Feng Huaiyu say that she has a half-brother.”

If he didn’t know about Jiang Pengji ‘s gender, Yang Si would never have thought about making a clear distinction between Liu She’s and Jiang Yanji’s “father and son” forces. They were two different groups.

Now he was a little worried.

No matter how good a daughter was, she was still a daughter. In the end, she had to marry someone and have children. The children would take another family’s surname. How could a daughter be compared to a son?

Wei Ci looked down, his eyes glowing with a cold light. “I know what you’re worried about… That half-brother is indeed a potential pitfall.”

Wei Ci couldn’t care less about him if he knew his place.

If he made trouble, Wei Ci wouldn’t mind being ruthless.

If his lord wanted to blame him, that would mean that they could take the opportunity to cut off all the ties that shouldn’t have existed.

It was in this atmosphere that Jiang Pengji received further instructions about the imperial order to rescue the Emperor in the capital. Many forces were preparing to gather in Huangshui to discuss the major event.

“Huangshui?”

Jiang Pengji glanced at the map of Dongqing. Huangshui was a tributary of the main river in Dongqing that had given birth to civilization. It was only a little narrower than the main river.

The area near Huangshui took its name from the river. It was called “Huangshui County” and was located near Chenzhou.
