They were caught between a rock and a hard place. If they sent their people to Camp Zhan Yun, they would be sacrificing them for nothing.
However, this was a new camp! It was uncertain who would lead them. If there was a conflict and both sides suffered, Qian Jiyun might be the one to benefit.
Shang Ningyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he listened to their discussion.
What could he say? That he was also waiting anxiously? Qian Jiyun was Qian Jiyun! He was more calm and collected than them. Did he really want them to garrison the new camp?
He knew Qian Jiyun would definitely not allow it.
He did not send anyone to investigate who the new lord from Daqing Kingdom was. However, he deduced that he must be related to Qian Jiyun.
They definitely shared a relationship, even if it was not overtly apparent. Otherwise, Qian Jiyun would not allow them to send their people there.
Therefore, he came up with this strategy to suppress Qian Jiyun and make him suffer a huge loss. However, he never expected Qian Jiyun to be so stingy!
“He seems insistent on us garrisoning the new camp, so let’s do it. We can find out more about this person from the Daqing Kingdom,” he said in a deep voice, addressing all the lords.
“Well…”
The lords looked at Shang Ningyi and wanted to say something, but they were speechless.
What else could they do but wait for the new lord from Daqing Kingdom to come? How could they scheme against Qian Jiyun if they did not know who was arriving?
“This new lord probably has a huge feud with Qian Jiyun, right?” someone asked curiously.
“Don’t be too anxious. If he really has a feud with Qian Jiyun, we can use this opportunity, right?” Shang Ningyi said.
If the old Emperor of Daqing Kingdom really wanted to deal with Qian Jiyun, they could exploit this. They might not be able to defeat Qian Jiyun, that wily old fox, but they could potentially capture the newcomer in the palm of their hand, couldn’t they?
“Isn’t it better to join forces with Daqing Kingdom’s people to deal with Qian Jiyun?”
Lord Tang’s eyes lit up, and he nodded.
“Lord Shang is right.”
It would be too troublesome for them to deal with Qian Jiyun. After all, this was a matter between countries. However, the new lord would not need to go through so much trouble.
Would internal strife in Daqing Kingdom have anything to do with them? They were only fueling the fire for the newcomer, right? “Then we’ll sit and wait for the new lord from Daqing Kingdom to arrive.” He raised his eyebrows at the other lords, who nodded.
Some lords were naturally skeptical of this plan. They had never been able to successfully plot against Qian Jiyun, whether it was by demanding money or manpower.
They hoped that this time would be different.
“Let’s hope Lord Tang’s plan goes smoothly this time. We don’t want any complications again,” one of the lords said with a cold expression.
“Tsk!” Lord Tang glared at him angrily.
“Why are you so discouraging? We’ll definitely succeed this time. We’ll watch from the sidelines as they fight among themselves.. It’ll be a good show, right?”
