The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 988 - 964: Alliance Formation

"Mr. Jiang, I've heard so much about you."

Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately spotted Huyan Qing, whose face was as dark as iron and as sturdy as a small mountain. His physique was imposing, and his eyes, as large as bronze bells, were especially unforgettable.

His appearance was truly extraordinary.

"General Huyan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Both parties exchanged greetings.

Huyan Qing escorted Jiang Xiaoxiao into the main camp.

The central military tent.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Huyan Qing took their seats. The other generals did not join them, mainly because Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Family Army came alone. It would seem somewhat oppressive if they all observed from the sidelines.

To create a fully harmonious atmosphere, the others withdrew.

Only Huyan Qing and Jiang Xiaoxiao were left in the tent, sitting opposite each other.

"Little General Jiang, your esteemed presence truly graces this humble abode. I never expected that at such a young age, you would exhibit such elegance, reminiscent of the old General Jiang. However, I am curious. It's always been said that Elder Jiang had disciples everywhere, yet the Jiang family suffered a calamitous massacre.

The entire Jiang family was almost completely wiped out. I've never heard of a young master of the Jiang family wandering outside. I wonder if it's my ignorance or if Little General Jiang has some hidden story."

Huyan Qing went straight to the point, seemingly intent on revealing Jiang Xiaoxiao's background.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, "General Huyan, since you've asked, and our two families intend to genuinely ally, I naturally won't hide my background from you. I am indeed from the Jiang family, but there is indeed no young master of my age in the Jiang family.

The young masters of the Jiang family of my age were all massacred by the court. I am the wanted criminal the court detests, the Jiang family's miss, Jiang Xuemei."

"Haha! Who would have thought you were a young lady of the Jiang family, disguised as a man for revenge. Truly admirable and commendable."

Huyan Qing's eyes immediately brightened.

If she were truly a miss of the Jiang family, all the better.

His life had been one of military campaigns, with ambitions encompassing the world, and for him, his ambition was this world.

In his struggle against the court, he had imagined various outcomes, and certainly the scenario of joining forces with the Jiang family to open up new possibilities and seize the world.

However, since joining forces with the Jiang family, one day they would inevitably become rivals.

All men inevitably harbor ambitions, desiring to seize the world; the Jiang family is no exception, especially with their deep background, they could easily rally support and rise in rebellion.

Elder Jiang's disciples once spanned the nation; should Little General Jiang seize the world, those disciples would likely rally to solidify the nation.

However, for him, merely attempting to reclaim those individuals posed a major challenge.

He envisioned countless ways of forming alliances, but upon learning that this so-called Mr. Jiang was indeed Jiang Xuemei, his heart was immediately stirred.

It was as though Heaven itself favored him.

"General Huyan, there's no need for these polite words. I had no choice but to take a desperate chance. I simply can't raise the flag without risking my life. General Huyan and I are different. General Huyan's ambitions encompass the world, while I, merely a humble woman, only seek revenge for my family."

Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally knew that in the instant her identity was revealed, General Huyan's gaze burned with intensity as if seeing a rare treasure.

How could she not know what intentions lay behind this General Huyan's thoughts?

Wasn't it simply because Jiang Xiaoxiao was a woman and perhaps lacked the capacity to vie for supremacy? But no matter.

What the other party thought of her was irrelevant, as it at least lowered his guard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was willing to expose her femininity, simply to let the other party understand that she lacked the ability to seize the world.

After all, in this era, men were the sovereign rulers, and women's status had not risen to that level.

Her interest was not in wine but in Huyan Qing's Red Flame Spear.

"Miss Jiang Xuemei, indeed, I am awed, truly, Miss Jiang's long-standing planning for revenge, resulting in today's situation, earns my sincere admiration. These are my heartfelt words, not a hint of falsehood. I have admired Elder Jiang for a long time; who would have thought he would be so treacherously betrayed by the court.

Miss Jiang is indeed the true descendant of loyalty and integrity."

Huyan Qing's entire demeanor changed, suddenly shifting from trying to project an aura of domination to exuding a gentle and broad-minded air upon hearing Jiang Xiaoxiao's true identity.

It was practically a 180-degree transformation.

"General Huyan, my grandfather, father, brothers, sisters, uncles, and elders have all perished at the hands of the court. My sole desire is to avenge them. I hope to join forces with General Huyan.

Once successful, the world will be yours, General Huyan. As a mere weak woman, once my great revenge is achieved, I only wish for a peaceful life with no further ambitions."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's words greatly pleased Huyan Qing.

He was even more impressed with the woman before him, who laid all her cards on the table without reservation, a display of confidence that was truly captivating.

The woman's competence and wisdom were undeniably impressive, being so direct.

She offered the world, with no interest beyond revenge.

Her very identity was enough to gain others' trust; how could a woman possibly achieve this?

How would the world allow a woman to sit in that position?

The benefits and interests are all laid bare, nearly explicating it outright.

She's only seeking revenge; as long as you help her with that, she'll help you claim the world.

This is the true alliance of strengths.

"Miss Jiang, you speak falsely. Elder Jiang used to be the mentor I admired most, and avenging the Jiang family and all righteous people of the world is my lifelong ambition. This loyalty and integrity cannot die in vain."

At this moment, Huyan Qing seemed completely energized, able to spout nothing but flattering words.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, bridging so much small talk.

Finally, it was time to go straight to the point.

"General Huyan, since this is the case, let's make a pact. Let the Huyan and Jiang families ally and seize the world. All I ask as a humble woman is to avenge my great grievances, and the world shall be yours, General Huyan. We shall swear an oath with blood, it is sealed."

"Sealed with an oath, any violation will be punished by heaven."

Huyan Qing now only feared that Jiang Xiaoxiao would not ally with him.

After all, if anyone knew Jiang Xiaoxiao's identity, they would flock to her like flies to blood.

The influence of Miss Jiang was undoubtedly unquestionable, especially once people knew her identity; all the talented and ambitious in the world would surely emerge, for the flag of Miss Jiang represented justice.

Moreover, Miss Jiang could never possibly attain the world, and whoever assists her will be the future ruler."
