“Strategist. Truth be told, I always felt like I’ve been lacking towards you. You know, how about you go join Han Huju? You know the situation with our camp, so you can lead the way for him and use my head as a way for you to enter his service. This way, it’ll give you and your daughter a prosperous future. What do you think?”
Cheng Dalei thought it over back and forth, but he couldn’t figure out any way to defend against the oncoming attack. With only the four of them, even digging a pit trap would take two full days, so how are they supposed to defend here? The only way he could think of is maybe sending Xu Shenji over to use his ability to always be wrong and completely mislead the attacking force. If that worked, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that Blackstone will fall on its own within a couple of days. Then, he might even have the chance to become the new lord of Blackstone and he’ll be able to jump straight to having a city to start with. It would end up saving him a ton of work and troubles, and at that point, there would doubtlessly be tons of families who would jump at the chance of a marriage alliance with him.
Xu Shenji had actually considered this idea. Actually, he thought it over very thoroughly the previous night, but when he considered Han Huju’s cruelty, if he were to try to join Han Huju, then he may very well be killed on the spot without any chance to present any strategies. Thus, it might be better to follow Cheng Dalei instead. He looked very confident at least.
If Xu Shenji were to find out where Cheng Dalei’s confidence came from, it’s likely both of them would have collapsed though.
Xu Shenji turned red with excitement and pointed right at Cheng Dalei’s face, “You! You misjudge me! The old boss treated me like a brother. If you didn’t decide to take revenge for him, then I would have! What is death between our brotherly bonds? I’ll follow him even in death!”
Qin Man at the side perked up.
Cheng Dalei still felt that to be a shame. It was the only method that he’s thought up. He had no other real ideas after all.
“Strategist, do you think they’ll give us 5 days of time?” Cheng Dalei asked.
