Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Zhou Huansheng said nothing, but looked at Jiang Li quietly, but his meaning was already obvious.

He just didn't trust her, even though she was General Jiang's daughter.

Jiang Li was helpless, "You don't trust me, are you afraid that I will collude with Emperor Qing, pretend to rescue you, and use my identity to guide you to reveal the secret?"

When the conversation came to this point, Zhou Huansheng stopped hiding it and said straightforwardly, "Yes."

"It's true that you are the daughter of the general, but you are also the adopted daughter of Emperor Qing."

"I don't want to judge you with my despicable thoughts, but...one is a foster father who can give you glory and wealth, and the other is a biological father who is dead and worthless."

"I wouldn't bet on your humanity."

Perhaps he felt that Zhou Huansheng's words were a bit harsh, and Meng Chong beside him couldn't help but say, "Um...Old Zhou, after all, he is also the biological daughter of the general. It would be a bit hurtful for you to say this."

Zhou Huansheng gave him a cold look, "Is it hurtful? But can you guarantee that there is no chance that what I said will happen?"

Meng Chong opened his mouth, looked at Jiang Li apologetically for the last time, and fell silent.

Jiang Li was not angry, and just nodded and said, "You are right, human nature is something that cannot stand the test. It is normal for you to have concerns."

"But if I'm not wrong, the secret you hold...should be related to my father's death."

"As a daughter, don't I have the right to know this?"

"Even if you don't trust me for a while and are unwilling to tell the biggest secret, you can at least tell me what you and Emperor Qing know, right?"

Meng Chong said nothing, but looked at Zhou Huansheng.

Obviously, among the two of them, Meng Chong listened to Zhou Huansheng and decided that he should naturally make the decision.

It's a pity that Jiang Li even mentioned this, but Zhou Huansheng still shook his head, "My child, I don't tell you just because I don't trust you."

As he said that, he took a deep look at Jiang Li and said, "I won't tell you, especially because you are the general's only bloodline."

"If you didn't lie to us, then we can't let you get involved in this danger... It's already a risk for you to rescue us, and the two of us don't want to drag you down, so you can just kill us."

"You don't need to know everything, just live well... This is the general's greatest expectation for you."

Jiang Li: "..."

Then her father's expectations for her are really small and pitiful. Just live, even if he is ignorant and deceived by lies for the rest of his life?

But when she thought about it again, Jiang Li lost her temper again...because she thought of the original owner.

The original owner was really simple, and with her temperament, it was indeed enough to live a safe life for the rest of her life. Knowing too much could only be a reminder to her.

Jiang Li sighed, "General Zhou...have you ever thought that since I am telling you this, it is precisely because I can no longer live well?"

Zhou Huansheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and stared at her and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Don't lie to me. I was only arrested two years ago and I know everything about you."

"In order to preserve his reputation and stabilize the Flame Army, Emperor Qing made you Princess Evergreen."

"But at the same time, he is using you as a hostage to control the Flame Army. As long as the Flame Army doesn't resist, you will be fine!"

"Don't tell me that Yang Jin rebelled?"

Jiang Li shook his head, "Of course it's impossible for Uncle Yang to do such a thing."

"But..." She looked at Zhou Huansheng, "General Zhou doesn't know yet, does he? I have married Qin Jue, the fifth son of Emperor Qing."

"Soon we will go to live in his fiefdom, Donglin County, which is not far from the border. Emperor Qing is planning to let Qin Jue join the Lieyan Army for training."

"It's just experience...but you should know what he wants to do, right?"

Zhou Huansheng's mind was still sharp, and he understood Jiang Li's meaning in an instant, "He...he wants his son to take over the Flame Army in the name of your husband?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Yes, when Qin Jue completely masters the Flame Army, what do you think will happen to me?"

Zhou Huansheng's eyes were dull and he muttered a few words: "Crossing the river and burning the bridge..."

"Yes, I will definitely die by then."

"So, does General Zhou still want to keep the secret?"

Zhou Huansheng's lips twitched twice, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly said: "But since you already know his plan, why do you still follow what he set?"

"Why do you still want to marry Qin Jue? If you marry, you are married. Why does Yang Jin want to hand over military power?"

Jiang Li shrugged, "You are right, we can resist."

"But...three years have passed. How many people in this world still remember my father?"

"Emperor Qing no longer has the helplessness he had to appease me because of the turmoil in people's hearts."

"What's more, he was planning for today at the beginning, thinking about enduring the calm for a while, and then slowly taking action."

"But if we resist this time, then Emperor Qing will know that there is no possibility of Xu Xu succeeding, so why would he keep us?"

"In short, we have been forced to die. We can either sit and wait for death, or... we can only do the opposite."

Zhou Huansheng's pupils suddenly widened, "You..."

He had already realized that since Jiang Li could say these words and rescued him and Meng Chong, he must have had some rebellious intentions...

For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he felt sad for Jiang Li's situation, but on the other hand, he felt how could General Jiang's daughter become a rebellious minister?

Even he originally wanted to kill the Dog Emperor because he no longer belonged to the Flame Army and had no direct relationship with General Jiang.

But if Jiang Li did this, then the world... would only think that the Jiang family were rebellious officials and traitors. Even if they knew that General Jiang was killed by the Dog Emperor, they would only feel that he deserved it.

He didn't want to see such a scene, but...he couldn't say anything like letting Jiang Li wait for death.

She is still so young, and she is the only descendant of the Jiang family.

Zhou Huansheng didn't know what to say and remained silent for a long time.

Meng Chong next to him was not as smart as Zhou Huansheng, so he was confused and didn't quite understand.

He wanted to ask, but seeing Zhou Huansheng's appearance he didn't dare, so he could only endure it.

Then Jiang Li spoke first, "I know what General Zhou is thinking, but you forgot...don't I still have Qin Jue?"

"He is the biological son of Emperor Qing. As long as Qing's surname is Jiang, I can't be considered a rebel... At most, it will be a fight between the princes for the crown prince, don't you think so?"

Zhou Huansheng suddenly realized, "You...it turns out you had this idea!"
