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

Obviously they just have a cooperative relationship. If she dies, the Lu family can just find someone else to cooperate with. Is it worth risking his life for her?

She didn't care about her own life, so why should he?

Originally a person from another world, when Jiang Li came here, she always had the attitude of playing with the world, thinking that she did not belong here, and even if she died, she would return to dust and dust to dust, and there would be no regrets.

But now, there is a person who saves her life with his own life. How can this be a weight she can bear?

She vented her emotions almost unreasonably, but Lu Zhan was always tolerant.

During his final moments in this world, he always looked at Jiang Li with gentle eyes.

He said in a slow but firm tone, "Jiang Li... don't cry. It's my own choice to save you."

"I am very happy to be able to exchange my life for yours...Jiang Li, you must be happy."

He tried hard to raise his hand, as if he wanted to touch her cheek, but in the end it slipped down weakly and closed his eyes completely.

Jiang Li, this is the first time he calls her by her first name. She is not a princess, so she does not have to abide by the etiquette of a monarch and her ministers.

She is just Jiang Li.

The only person he wanted to save was Jiang Li.

"...Lu Zhan!"

Jiang Li subconsciously wanted to grab his slipping hand, but missed it, just like her mood at this time.

She sat there on her knees in a daze, as if she could feel the person in her arms gradually getting colder.

In the chaos, someone pulled her away.

"Princess, get up quickly, let's go to the city first!"

"Princess, princess?"

The voice was urgent and noisy, but it seemed as if it was far away from her.

Seeing that she didn't respond, they had no choice but to say, "Offended!"

Then he picked her up and headed towards the city gate.

It wasn't until she was forced to let go of the person in her arms that she seemed to come back to her senses, "Wait... Lu Zhan!"

She struggled to turn back, but Lan Yin's voice came from behind her, "Don't worry, princess, I will take Mr. Lu with you!"

So Jiang Li was brought back to Ningcheng in such a confused manner. Everything finally settled down and she would no longer be in danger.

Only Lu Zhan's body gradually became cold and could never come back.

After returning to Ningcheng, Jiang Li felt a little dazed and kept watching Lu Zhan's body in a daze.

To be precise, she was not completely in a daze. After she realized what she was doing, she immediately asked the system for help.

"You have a way to save him, right? You promised me something before, and now I want to use that opportunity. I want you to save him!"

System No. 007 was suddenly filled with bitterness, "I...I can't do it!"

"If I had the ability to bring back the dead, the two hosts I brought before would not be completely dead, right?"

"Jiang Li... I know you are sad, but Lu Zhan is dead and no one can save him."

Then Jiang Li really started to be in a daze.

She guarded Lu Zhan's body, thinking about many things in confusion.

Many people in this life have said that they are willing to give their lives for her, but only Lu Zhan truly died for her. He is different from others.

Sometimes she wonders, if Lu Zhan just died in battle, would she still be so sad?

Maybe it will still be sad, but it will definitely not be as sad as it is now.

To her, Lu Zhan's move was like lighting up a light again in her heart that was once full of holes and had no expectations for anyone.

Let her understand that there are really people in this world who are willing to give everything to love her.

When she felt ashamed that she was not worthy, he used his last strength to firmly tell her that she was worth it.

Even until his death, he never regretted saving her.

So Jiang Li suddenly felt that all the pessimism he had in the past was not an escape?

I feel like as long as you don’t have any expectations, you won’t get hurt.

Is she really as powerful as she thinks?

No, she is not actually powerful, she is just a childish ghost who disguises herself with indifference and pretends to be cool.

Jiang Li herself didn't know how long she stayed guarding Lu Zhan's body until someone opened her door.

She raised her head somewhat sluggishly and looked towards the door. Mixed with the pungent smell of blood, someone wearing armor was striding towards her.

"Ali!"

It wasn't until he was embraced in his arms that Jiang Li realized belatedly... Oh, it's Qin Jue.

His armor was a little cold, but she still reached out and slowly grabbed his shoulders.

"You're back."

Qin Jue's voice was filled with anxiety and guilt, "I'm sorry Ali, I came back late! Are you okay? Are you injured? You..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Li suddenly said, "Lu Zhan is dead."

Qin Jue paused suddenly, tilted his head slightly, glanced at the coffin not far away, and after a long while he said "hmm" in a deep voice.

Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Li suddenly asked, "Are you happy now?"

Qin Jue's body stiffened suddenly, and then he subconsciously pushed Jiang Li away from his arms.

He looked into her eyes in surprise, "...What are you talking about? Why do I think so?"

Jiang Li looked into his eyes and smiled slowly.

"Qin Jue, am I a fool?"

She was smiling, but her eyes were as cold as water, piercing his heart like needles.

"Am I being stupid if I'm still being deceived by you at this point?"

Qin Jue looked at her, his face pale, but he couldn't say a word.

"You were the one who wrote the letter to inform Lu Zhan of the Liang Kingdom's invasion, right?"

"I thought about many possibilities and eliminated them one by one. In the end, the only possibility was you."

"You wrote an anonymous letter asking Lu Zhan to come back because you wanted him to die in this war, right?"

"Because of me, you can't tolerate him, and you can't kill him yourself, so the best way is to let him die in the war and get rid of him legitimately, right?"

Jiang Li questioned word by word. The corners of Qin Jue's lips moved, but he was unable to say anything to defend himself.

After a while, he spoke, "...I wrote the letter, but I just hope he can come back and help you!"

He said: "I couldn't have predicted Lu Zhan's death, Jiang Li... I know you are sad, but you can't blame me for this!"

Jiang Li suddenly smiled, "Ah... you admitted it."

She nodded, but there seemed to be tears in her smiling eyes, "Okay, you are indeed only indirectly responsible for Lu Zhan's death. You can defend yourself."

"Then Lei Xingjun stationed in Yangzhou City rushed to Ningcheng to support him in such a short period of time. How do you explain it?"

Yes, Lei Xingjun arrived shortly after she returned to the city, and then joined hands with the Flame Army to repel the Liang Army.

They no longer have to defend the city with difficulty. With the timely support of Lei Xingjun's 100,000 troops, the rebellion in Liang is no longer a crisis.

Even if they are unwilling to fight again, it will only be a fair fight between the two sides, each with its own merit, and there will be no possibility of overpowering.

From Yangzhou City to Ningcheng, it would take at least ten days even if we were in a hurry. If we set out after asking for help in Ningcheng, we would not be able to arrive in such a timely manner.

Unless... someone had informed Lei Xingjun before Liang Guo launched his attack.
