Chapter 126: Nice Try, Kid (V)

System: "So, your plan is to use Meng Liang in exchange for that officer's loyalty? Did you ask if Meng Liang is okay with that?"

Jiang Pengji tsked at the System before replying, "Do I need to ask permission from someone who robs others of their lives?"

System: "…are you trying to play god!"

Could she afford to be more shameless?

The System was not the only one who thought Jiang Pengji was toying with someone else's life––even Liu She thought so, too.

Normal people would be thinking of ways to get rid of Meng Liang, or to safeguard themselves in case they got into trouble because of him.

But Jiang Pengji? Her first reaction was to use him as an exchange for another's loyalty.

Was that how she planned to become the Jiang Dynasty's emperor? By ensuring that she had potential rivals working for her or locked away forever?
