It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 1004

Li Xingzai's eyes unconsciously swept the thunder, his face was calm, but his heart was confused.

He really couldn't understand Cheng Dalei's intentions. When the princes all over the world went to Beijing, he just did the opposite and chose to leave Chang'an City.

What is his true intention? It was because he realized that Chang'an City was not safe and wanted to go back to his own territory. After returning, he was honest, or he dispatched troops to conspiracy.

For a while, Li Xingzai smiled and said, "You can't go. This time the princes go to Beijing, who knows what they have in mind. I still have to rely on you to cheer me up, Cheng Dalei, we are our own people."

Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "Many princes in the world don't like me. If I leave this place, I can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Li Xingzai did not continue the topic and said, "How did Jingzhou play?"

Cheng Dalei shook his head: "The two places are too far apart, and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. I haven't received their battle report for a long time, and now I don't know what the situation is there."

"You don't know, but I do. Xu Wentian has already led the Jiangnan Army into Jingzhou. According to the news from him, Liu Bei has fought quite well. The King of Shu, relying on the dangers of nature, is also difficult to compete with Liangzhou." Li Xingzai sighed with emotion. Said: "Cheng Dalei, you are good at training your subordinates."

"This is also conceivable." Cheng Dalei said: "After all, Liangzhou soldiers have fought major battles, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers is not comparable to that of Shu soldiers. The king of Shu has recharged his energy in recent years. Although he has a large number of soldiers, he has not fought. It’s natural to have a tough battle, never fought a deadly battle, and it’s natural to be no match for the Liangzhou soldiers. It’s the same with the Jiangnan Army.”

"That being said, you don't have to be too modest about the strength of Liangzhou soldiers." Li Xingzai said, "It's best to end this war before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will show it to the world."

Cheng Dalei nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty, my resignation?"

"Keep it for now and talk about it later."

Li Xingzai vetoed, and Cheng Dalei had no other choice but to leave.

Li Xingzai looked at Cheng Dalei's back and narrowed his eyes slightly. He always felt that today's Cheng Dalei was different from the past, and his whole person was not full of energy.

"Cheng Dalei..." Li Xingzai stopped him again: "Do you have anything to say to me today?"

Cheng Dalei turned around and saluted Li Xingzai again: "May your majesty be considerate to the people and cherish life in the future."

Li Xingzai touched his nose, why did Cheng Dalei's words sound so sad? Did he have something on his mind that he didn't say.

Not long after Qi Jiguang reported, Li Xingzai told him about this. Qi Jiguang was startled after hearing this: "Why doesn't Your Majesty let him go? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Li Xingzai was startled: "What chance?"

Qi Jiguang said, "If Cheng Dalei died in Chang'an City, the bandits under his command would definitely not give up, but if he died on the road, no one could blame us."

Li Xingzai opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "You mean... kill Cheng Dalei?"

"Don't your Majesty want to kill him?"

Li Xingzai fell silent for a long time.

Qi Jiguang took a step closer and said: "My subordinate just got the news that Qin Man from Xizhaoguan has withdrawn his troops and marched towards Liangzhou. He must have received a secret order from Cheng Dalei. Your Majesty has ever thought that at this time, Cheng Dalei arranged this, What is the purpose?"

Li Xingzai also couldn't guess Cheng Dalei's intentions, so Fang felt in a dilemma. He was silent for a long time, and said, "I have already talked to Cheng Dalei, and he has no heart to fight for the world. If he really has this heart, he doesn't have to wait until today."

"Knowing the person, knowing the face, but not the heart, can Cheng Dalei really trust him?" Qi Jiguang pressed step by step: "If he is really trustworthy, why is this mobilization of troops? Even if Cheng Dalei can be trusted, what about his subordinates who are like wolves like tigers?"

"The minister has already received the news that after Liu Bei entered Shu, he has won consecutive battles, but he has turned a deaf ear to the request for the cooperation of the Jiangnan Army. What is the intention of going on like this?"

Li Xingzai frowned, his eyes were full of embarrassment, and finally he sighed: "Although I am rich in the world and known as the Supreme Being of Ninety-five, there are not many who can be called confidants. I have already killed a friend, do I still want to kill the second one? indivual?"

It is not without reason that the Son of Heaven is called a loner. Since Li Xingzai sat on that chair, there were not many people in the world who were qualified to be his friends. Ye Yuanhuo died in Li Xingzai's hands, and he really didn't want to lose another friend.

Seeing that Li Xingzai was still swaying, Qi Jiguang was ready to add more force.

"Has Your Majesty forgotten about Chu Yunsheng?"

Li Xingzai was startled, his eyes dimmed instantly.

If Li Xingzai was able to get to this day, the first hero is not Song Youqu or Qi Jiguang. Chu Yunsheng is the first person who deserves it.

But Chu Yunsheng was already dead, in Yangzhou City, south of the Yangtze River. The battle was very difficult, and Chu Yunsheng was so exhausted that he didn't last until Li Xingzai settled in Chang'an City.

In general, there are some reasons for Chu Yunsheng's death and Cheng Dalei. When Li Xingzai asked Liangzhou for help, Cheng Dalei procrastinated and made it clear that he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

What's more, the biggest enemy of Jiangnan World War I was Heshen, and Heshen was released by Cheng Dalei.

Qi Jiguang's words and Li Xingzai had to take it to heart, not to mention the few people who came out of Toad Village. Lin Shaoyu dragged the world into troubled times, Yeyuan fire burned most of the empire, and Heshen let Li Xingzai die again.

Will Liu Bei, who is now in Shu, be the second Heshen again?

Li Xingzai took a deep breath: Some things have to be guarded against.

Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, this is the blessing of the world. It has just experienced a troubled time, and the empire can't stand the ordeal. For Cheng Dalei, no matter whether he has a heart or not, as long as there is a chance to kill him, he must be killed. Get rid of him and remove any restlessness."

"Does he really deserve to die?" Li Xingzai asked weakly.

"The average man is innocent of his guilt. He has the strength to threaten His Majesty, so he deserves to die."

Li Xingzai closed his eyes, and Qi Jiguang stared at him with anticipation.

Qi Jiguang wanted to kill Cheng Dalei for a day or two, but as long as Li Xingzai didn't spit, no matter what he said, it would be of no avail.

After a long while, Li Xingzai opened his eyes and looked at Qi Jiguang helplessly.

"Your Majesty, if the interruption is continuous, there will be endless troubles?"

Li Xingzai sighed: "Since he deserves to die, then send him to die. You can handle this matter more cleanly."

Qi Jiguang's heart was overjoyed, and he folded his fist and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter is calculated in a thousand ways, and it will not let others think of Your Majesty. If there is a mistake, Wei Chen will bear it alone."

Li Xingzai waved his hand, the whole person seemed weak, and he sighed in the bottom of his heart:

Lonely.
