It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 1009

When it was about to get dark, the boat crossed the river and docked at Jiujiang City on the other side.

Everyone's luggage was transported from the ship, and Liu Facai paid the ship's fare to Zhou Boss. Boss Zhou shied away. By this time, he could see that Cheng Dalei was not an ordinary person. Besides, if it wasn't for Cheng Dalei today, the three brothers would surely have fallen into the hands of a leper.

But this amount of money was nothing to Cheng Dalei, and he didn't want to waste too much time in this section.

After paying the boat fare, everyone parted at the dock. When he was parting, Boss Zhou was still pondering: Who is Cheng Dalei?

Dare to cross the river alone, with a beautiful concubine, gold and silver by his side, this kind of courage is definitely not something ordinary people can have.

Crossing the big river, people gradually denser, Jiangnan and Jiangbei are like two worlds.

The Rong people have been fighting to the north bank of the big river, and they have gathered millions of troops and are eyeing the south of the splendid Jiangnan. The entire Northland was drawn into the war by the Rong tribe, and battles were fought one after another, and the Northland was devastated, leaving ten rooms and nine empty spaces.

Although there have been wars in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone is from the empire, and they are restrained from each other. Therefore, Jiangnan was not greatly affected. Commercial exchanges and pedestrians are woven together. Although it is not as prosperous as before the war, the scene here is still lively.

After the people entered the city, they found an inn to stay. All the way from Chang'an to here, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and there were no people for hundreds of miles. Being in Jiangnan at this moment is like being in two worlds.

Cheng Dalei, Liu Facai, and Xu Shenji are okay to say, they are all used to traveling around the world and suffered hardships. Diaochan and the women were miserable all the way down, and now they can finally take a good rest.

After staying in Jiujiang City for three or five days, Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji came out of the city with a jar of wine.

There is a barren tomb here, which is covered with weeds, and there is a wordless stele erected in front of the tomb. Most people do not know who is buried in the tomb.

Cheng Dalei also found out after inquiring that this is Heshen's tomb. Heshen died in Jiujiang City at the beginning, and his body was transported back to Liangzhou for proper burial. He came out of Liangzhou, so it can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to its roots. Li Xing's former team in Jiangnan, grateful for Heshen's character, built a tomb for him outside Jiujiang City.

Cheng Dalei sprinkled the wine on the grave and stood silent for a long time. Before Heshen left Liangzhou, Cheng Dalei had a detailed discussion with him, but the two had different ways, so they parted ways. In the end, it ended like this, and Cheng Dalei didn't know what to say.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and he can be considered to be benevolent, so the boss needn't be too sad." Xu Shenji said aside.

Cheng Dalei poured the last drop of wine into his stomach, and he had seen too many dead people along the way. Everyone can die, and Heshen is no exception. So Cheng Dalei can't say how sad he is, but he is a little bit lost when he sees the tomb of his old friend.

"Let's go."

Cheng Dalei placed the wine jar in front of the grave and talked softly.

"Master, where are we going next?"

The two set off on their way back to the city, and Xu Shenji asked.

"Thinking about going to Yangzhou, it is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, let's go to open our eyes."

The empire was huge, with 100 singles and eight cities in thirteen states. Cheng Dalei had traveled to many places over the years, from Youzhou to Liangzhou, from the northwest grasslands to the East China Sea, but Jiangnan, he really seldom came. I have been here for a long time, but I only stayed in Qianzhou City for a few days before leaving quickly.

He really didn't know much about this splendid Jiangnan.

What Cheng Dalei said to Li Xingzai was half-truth, but he really wanted to take this opportunity to look around.

When Cheng Dalei planned his trip to the south of the Yangtze River in Jiujiang City, Qi Jiguang, who was far away in Chang'an City, had learned the news that Cheng Dalei had lost his trace.

He insisted that he did not report this matter to Li Xingzai. As the honorable man of the Ninety-five Five, Li Xingzai is qualified in many places.

But only in the matter of Cheng Dalei, he was indecisive and wavering. If this news was reported to Li Xingzai, Li Xingzai would have to think about it again, and even let Cheng Dalei go.

The king's way is ruthless, since Li Xingzai can't do ruthless things, then he will do it for heaven.

Do the ruthless way for the emperor.

After learning that Cheng Dalei's trace was lost, Qi Jiguang could be said to be furious, and sprayed a group of Yulongwei with blood.

It's a shame that all of you are known as the leader of the arena, the supreme martial arts, and the nicknames are Megatron, domineering, so that Cheng Dalei can slip under the eyes, what's the face of the rivers and lakes.

A group of fish and dragon guards stood in a row in front of Qi Jiguang and were scolded speechlessly, but they were somewhat unconvinced in their hearts.

"Sir, that's Cheng Dalei..." A man named Lu Kuiyuan said.

"What about Cheng Dalei?" Qi Jiguang asked with raised eyebrows.

Lu Kuiyuan obediently shut his mouth, he couldn't offend Qi Jiguang's authority, but he didn't have anything to say in his heart.

Just because he is Cheng Dalei, that alone is enough, no other reason is needed.

Since his birth, very few people have been able to get a bargain in front of Cheng Dalei. What happened to Cui Xiang, and what happened to the General's Mansion, they were all buried in the soil now. In this chaotic world, in order to protect themselves, Jianghu people will inevitably become eagle dogs with others, but Cheng Dalei can pull out the banner, become a prince, and even have the qualifications to stand against the court.

In this world, he doesn't want to fight. If he really wants to fight, it's hard to say who will die in the end.

Looking at the eyes of these people, Qi Jiguang knew what they were thinking, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Cheng Dalei is indeed a bit cunning, so we have to be more vigilant and try our best not to let him take advantage of it."

"My lord, why don't you spread the word about Jiangnan Green Forest Road, inquire about Cheng Dalei's news, and report it as soon as there is news." Lu Kuiyuan said.

"No." Qi Jiguang waved his hand, the action against Cheng Dalei was a secret operation. In the end, Cheng Dalei could die in anyone's hands, but it was best not to have anything to do with the imperial court.

"This matter should not be publicized. If it is publicized and spread to Cheng Dalei's ears, I am afraid that he will openly become an enemy of the imperial court, and at that time will bring harm to the people of the world."

In fact, according to Qi Jiguang, it doesn't make much sense to hide this matter from Cheng Dalei.

"You all don't know." Qi Jiguang sighed suddenly: "Cheng Dalei went out to Beijing this time to collude with the old Liangzhou faction and plot a rebellion. The empire has just experienced a war before the people have the opportunity to cultivate their business, which can withstand Another war. So I had no choice but to kill Cheng Dalei first."

Qi Jiguang's tone seemed helpless: "To kill this thief, you are all servants of the empire."
