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

Meng Chong’s story is actually simple.

His identity is indeed that of a bandit. He has never seen General Jiang in his life, and he has nothing to do with them.

But the bad thing was the tribute he gave during that tribulation.

It was a tribute from a small country to Emperor Qing. The things inside were actually not very valuable, but just ordinary gold and silver utensils.

However, there was also a secret letter from the emperor of that small country to Emperor Qing.

"I can't read, so I almost threw the letter away, but the second boss noticed something was wrong and took it over to read it again."

"After reading it, he was shocked. He said that what the letter said was that he promised Emperor Qing to help and cooperated with him to kill General Jiang."

"Although we are bandits and not good people, we have always admired General Jiang for protecting our family and country."

"Realizing that we might have caused a big trouble, I made a prompt decision and asked everyone to pack up their things and run away immediately. I only divided a little of the gold and silver in the tribute, and planned to go back to get it after avoiding the limelight."

"I hid the other things including the letter. I thought at that time... I kept the letter to avoid the limelight. I will take it to General Jiang and maybe save him. One life.”

Speaking of this, Meng Chong smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that none of us in the group escaped."

Everyone in the village was eventually caught, and after some severe torture, it was finally learned that only Meng Chong knew the whereabouts of the letter.

In order to threaten him to speak out, the people in the village were killed one by one in front of his eyes.

Meng Chong will never forget that kind of pain in his life.

When Jiang Li heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "You and my father have never met. Compared to him, the lives of those close to you should be more important, right?"

"Why didn't you say it?"

Meng Chong laughed at himself, "Sister, don't tell me I haven't read, but I'm not stupid either."

"Knowing such a big secret, can we still survive if we are caught?"

"Whether you say it or not, you will die!"

"Those of us who go up the mountain, who don't have a clue, all know that such a day has already happened."

"What's more, this time we acted rashly without understanding it, which brought disaster to ourselves. Even if we die, it will be our fate!"

"But we can't stand the behavior of that dog emperor, and we don't want to help him do it!"

At this point, Meng Chong sneered, "Even if he dies, leave a knot in his heart and make him fearful for the rest of his life!"

For the sake of the remaining morality in his heart, and for the sake of happiness in his heart, Meng Chong never revealed the secret even though he was imprisoned and tortured for three years, unable to survive or die.

Jiang Li looked at Meng Chong and Zhou Huansheng in silence.

They are all people whose names have not even appeared in the original work, but they are so vivid and full of flesh and blood.

The two of them made her realize for the first time that this was not just a book, but a real world.

Even though she was not the original owner, she stood up at this time and saluted the two of them sincerely, "...Thank you, for my father."

As arrogant as Jiang Li, he was perfunctory and disdainful when saluting Emperor Qing, but now this salute was solemn and sincere.

Not because of the crushing power, but because of true admiration.

When she did this, Zhou Huansheng and Meng Chong felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Huansheng said, "You also saved me, no need to thank you."

Meng Chong also shook his head and said, "You don't need to thank me, because after all, I didn't help your father."

"And later I heard from Lao Zhou that your father didn't die like that in the secret letter."

"I guess it was because the secret letter was missing that the Dog Emperor was still uneasy, so he changed his plan."

After a pause, he felt a little sad, "Speaking of which... the original agreement with the monarch of that small country was only to take the lives of your father and your eldest brother."

"It was because of me that the plan changed and so many more people died."

"...I hurt them."

After Meng Chong learned about these things, he always blamed himself in his heart. The fact that he could survive for so long may be due to this self-blame.

Jiang Li did not get angry at him because of this, "The one who did the evil was Emperor Qing, what does it have to do with you? Everyone on the left and right is just a victim, there is no distinction between high and low."

Although it was just a word of relief, Meng Chong felt a lot relieved when he saw that Jiang Li didn't blame him, and he couldn't help but smile at her.

"Sister, I have said everything I can. As for where the things are hidden... I still have to follow Lao Zhou. If he believes you, I will believe you!"

Jiang Li seriously stopped asking, stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me this."

"It won't be long before I go to Donglin County with Qin Jue, and it is not safe for you to stay in the capital, so after two days of training, I will have someone escort you to Donglin County first."

"My people will be there to take care of you, and they will take good care of you."

"You can't move around freely in the capital, but you can get some freedom when you go to Donglin County. If there is anything you want to do, you can talk to them."

The two people who originally wanted to bring the secret into the coffin, now that they have talked so much with Jiang Li, they feel that they have some expectations for her, and they no longer want to die so much.

So the two of them nodded, "Thank you."

After that, Jiang Li didn't stay any longer and quickly took Lan Yin back to the palace.

Although the two of them have decided to go to Donglin County, they still have to keep their houses and properties in the capital.

Therefore, both Qin Jue and Jiang Li still have a lot of things to deal with, and they don't have much time to get together, so it's rare that they don't have any conflicts.

Time passed by, and the two of them made arrangements and set a date to leave Beijing.

Before leaving, it was natural to go back to the palace to see Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing was very happy about this and pretended to be reluctant to leave.

"It's too far to go, and there are many dangers. I heard that you, Lao Wu, have a good relationship with Yuchi Feng. He is good at martial arts and has some talents. Let him lead the troops to protect you!"

"And that kid has always been interested in wielding swords and guns. He has admired the Flame Army the most since he was a child. If you go with you this time and let him stay in the Flame Army with you, he must be crazy about it."

Naturally, Qin Jue and Jiang Li would not object, so Emperor Qing immediately issued an edict to make Yuchi Feng the fifth-grade general of martial virtue.

One hundred elite troops will be selected from the nearest garrison in the capital, and they will be led by Yuchi Feng to protect Qin Jue and his party.

With an accompanying army of a hundred people, there is no need to worry even if there are blind bandits.

In this way, all preparations were completed, and the group set off from the capital in a mighty manner.

Because he wanted to live in Donglin County permanently, Jiang Li not only brought Lan Yin and Lan Xi with him this time, but also several people who had been brought to the palace from the Jiang family before.

After all, she doesn't trust Yuchi Feng, but she is more reliable.

In addition, there are a group of people who secretly left Jiang Li behind before Yang Jin left.

Jiang Li didn't show it openly, but asked them to set off an hour later and follow behind, which was considered a guarantee.
