Meng Hun looked around and made sure that all the personnel were on standby. Thus, he was satisfied and ready to respond to Jiang Pengji.

“As the saying goes, a gentleman should always predict potential danger and keep himself away from it. Why do you put yourself in danger instead?”

Xu Ke became more and more soft-tempered to his self-willed langjun, for he had never conquered her stubbornness.

In a dark-colored, coa.r.s.e-clothed short coat, Jiang Pengji was simply dressed, looking like an experienced fighter rather than a child from a n.o.ble family.

She sat on the ground and looked at Xu Ke with a doubtful smile. “Xiaoyu, your style is becoming more and more like a housekeeper’s. You know, I’m not weak. If these little fellows that have never seen dead bodies before don’t want to be trained, then I can kill out all the bandits in that village on my own.”

She uttered her ambition with confidence, but Xu Ke felt a headache coming on and had to persuade her in earnest.

“Your skill in martial arts is extraordinary, and I admire that a lot. But that doesn’t mean you have to join the battle personally. All that you have to do is sit in the barracks and a.s.sume your commands. As the saying goes, ‘Those children from wealthy families will never put their lives at risk…’”

Random punches would be able to kill an experienced martial arts master. The swords and knives would never mind whom they were stabbing. What if the desperados injured her?

Jiang Pengji smiled and said, “Don’t try to persuade me with those theories. I understand your point, but I don’t want to do that.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ke revealed his helplessness on his face. The audience in the live streaming room watched and burst into laughter.

They felt sorry for Xu Ke!

[Surao Chansheng]: “Haha, I quickly grabbed a screenshot of Xu Ke’s expression. I think it can be matched with a sentence: Annoyance overload! What should I do? What could I do? Having a problematic boss like the streamer, Xu Ke must have been considering job-hopping.”

[Gongsun Siyun]: “Nope, he wouldn’t. Xu Ke’s contract of selling himself is still in the vicious streamer’s hands! He will oppress her for his whole life!”

[Dashu Xiaobing]: “Selling himself? Alas, the malicious landlord! I will always support Xu Ke to rebel spiritually.”

[Paidaxing]: “Spiritual support is useless! You can directly send her a bunch of gifts and hearts. Maybe if the streamer gets happy about that, she will not be so tricky for Xu Ke to deal with.”

Jiang Pengji had never asked for a reward, nor had she played any tricks on the audience. If the audience liked her performance, they would reward her voluntarily. If they didn’t, they would watch the live stream in silence. Even so, the rewards kept increasing remarkably as time went by.

The System had already got a bit dizzy out of joy when it looked at the rewards coming in like the tide.

The more rewards Jiang Pengji received, the more points of popularity it could get. After all, the System and the streamer would share the rewards fifty percent each.

It was a pity that Jiang Pengji did not adopt the customized tricks that it had offered her. Otherwise, the rewards could be dozens of times more than they were now!

The System regretted that, but meanwhile, it kept drooling while it watched the steady stream of rewards.

Jiang Pengji said to the System in her heart, “You can open the semi-interactive streaming mode, and use the theme that we fixed.”

As soon as she finished, the System diligently followed her order.

In the next second, the audience saw a subt.i.tle across the bottom of the streaming room: Bandit Suppressing In Deep Mountain (1).

Bandit Suppressing was the task theme of the semi-interactive streaming mode!

Meeting Jiang Pengji’s expectations, Meng Hun led his troops and got their training on the right track.

The poor and unskilled troops had become more and more of a real army. The physical fitness of all the armies had improved in different degrees after a month of hard training. They were still much worse than the regular army; however, compared with the bandits in the village, they were stronger for sure.

“Langjun, you can’t be so capricious…” Xu Ke had already forgotten how many times he had sighed because of Jiang Pengji.

“It’s not the first time, and you’d better get used to it. I cherish my life, and ordinary people can’t hurt me.” Jiang Pengji smiled and comforted him. “You should have some confidence in me. If these bandits can scare me off, and all I do is look for blessings behind everyone, how can I make any accomplishments in the future? From now on, the scale will only get bigger…”

However, Xu Ke was so broken even if was just a small fight… How could he bear with the coming future?

Even with many words to say, Xu Ke was still like a deflated balloon while he dealt with Jiang Pengji. He remained in silence.

Just then, the tall and burly Meng Hun walked over and said to Jiang Pengji, “Langjun, everything is ready.”

“Hum, I know.” After that, Jiang Pengji took two rolls of coa.r.s.e cloth from his sleeve and spread them out.

Among the two coa.r.s.e cloths, the larger one was irregular in shape, on which was a geographical map drawn by carbon blocks. In addition to the rivers and mountains near Hejian County, there were many symbols with different meanings drawn on it. The symbols were thickly dotted and they dazzled people.

“This place will be our next target. I snuck into this place and roughly drew a picture of its geographical situation.”

After saying that, Jiang Pengji spread out another roll of coa.r.s.e cloth, which was a map of the village and the distribution diagram of the armies at every checkpoint!

Jiang Pengji had only noticed that he would take some people to go to suppress the bandits the day before. It was very urgent, for just packing up the food and necessary items would consume a lot of time. Meng Hun was also worried that his langjun would cause a mess and he intended to communicate with her privately. But, he had never expected her to be so well-prepared.

Meng Hun stared at the detailed picture of the bandits’ village in a daze, trying to simulate the action tactics in his mind.

Only Xu Ke focused. His face darkened and he asked, “Langjun, you said… that this was based on your exploration?”

Meng Hun rubbed his hands and said, “This way of drawing is obvious and clear. If we use a scout as the pioneer…”

Xu Ke hurriedly interrupted his words. “This is not the point. The key point is––when did Langjun sneak into the deep mountain and the bandits’ village alone for information?”

Wasn’t that more dangerous than her confronting the enemies personally later?

Meng Hun was shocked, for he suddenly understood why Xu Ke looked so serious.

The picture on the rough cloth was painted by Jiang Pengji herself. What did that mean?

That meant that she had gone deep into the mountain alone, and found out the strongholds one after another!

In the face of the disapproval of Meng Yu and Xu Ke, Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes.

She had not been alone, for there had been ten thousand audience members watching her the entire way in the streaming room.

Besides, she had done that kind of pioneering work numerous times.

Scouting the bandits’ village didn’t mean that she ventured deep into it; she had her own way to do so.

Jiang Pengji bluntly s.h.i.+fted the topic. “We could discuss those things after the bandits are annihilated. Xiaoyu, look at me! I am as good as always, and things are not as dangerous as you think…”
