Li Xingzai's eyes glanced at Cheng DaLei unconsciously, his face was calm, but deep down he was confused.
He really couldn't understand Cheng Dalei's intentions. At a time when princes from all over the world were going to Beijing one after another, he just went in the opposite direction and chose to leave Chang'an City.
What is his true intention? He realizes that the city of Chang'an is not safe and wants to go back to his own territory to hide. After returning, will he stay there honestly, or will he send troops and generals to do evil things?
Li Xingzai couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he smiled and said, "You can't leave. This time the princes are going to Beijing, who knows what they have in mind. I still need 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 dislike me. If I leave here, I can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Li Xingzai did not continue the topic and said, "How was the fight in Jingzhou?"
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "The two places are too far apart, so it's difficult for news to come and go. I haven't received any battle reports from them for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is like there now."
"You don't know, but I do. Xu Wentian has led the Jiangnan Army into Jingzhou. According to the news he sent, Liu Bei is fighting quite well. The king of Shu, relying on the natural danger and powerful troops, can't compete with Liangzhou." Li Xingzai sighed with emotion.
Said: "Cheng Dalei, you train your subordinates well."
"This is conceivable." Cheng Dalei said: "After all, Liangzhou soldiers have fought big battles, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not comparable to that of Shu soldiers. The King of Shu has been recharging his strength in recent years. Although he has many soldiers and generals, he has not fought
If you have experienced tough battles and never fought to the death, it is natural that you cannot defeat the Liangzhou soldiers. The same thing applies to the Jiangnan Army."
"That's what I say, but you don't have to be too modest about the strength of Liangzhou soldiers." Li Xingzai said: "It is best to end this war before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will show it to the world."
Cheng Dalei nodded in agreement and said: "Your Majesty, my resignation?"
"Keep it for now, we can talk about it later."
Li Xingzai objected, and Cheng Dalei had no other choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Li Xingzai looked at Cheng Dalei's back and narrowed his eyes slightly. He always felt that Cheng Dalei today was different from before, and he didn't have much 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: "I hope your majesty will be considerate of the people and cherish all living things in the future."
Li Xingzai touched his nose. Why did Cheng Dalei sound so sad when he said this? Did he have something on his mind that he didn't say?
Not long after, Qi Jiguang reported, and Li Xingzai told him about the incident. After hearing this, Qi Jiguang was surprised: "Why don't your majesty let him go? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Li Xingzai was startled: "What opportunity?"
Qi Jiguang said: "If Cheng Dalei dies in Chang'an City, the bandits under him will definitely not give up. But if he dies on the road, no one can blame us."
Li Xingzai opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "You mean...kill Cheng Dalei?"
"Don't you want to kill, Your Majesty?"
Li Xingzai fell silent and was speechless for a long time.
Qi Jiguang took a step closer and said: "My subordinates have just received news that the Qin barbarians at Xizhao Pass have withdrawn their troops and are marching towards Liangzhou. He must have received Cheng Dalei's secret order. Has your Majesty ever thought about Cheng Dalei's arrangement at this time?
What’s the purpose?”
Li Xingzai also couldn't guess Cheng Dalei's thoughts, so he felt in a dilemma. He was silent for a long time, and then said: "I have already talked with Cheng Dalei, and he has no intention of competing for the world. If he really has this intention, he does not have to wait until today."
"Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, can Cheng Dalei really trust him?" Qi Jiguang pressed forward step by step: "If he really can trust him, why did he mobilize the troops this time? Even if Cheng Dalei can trust him, what about his wolves and tigers?"
"I have received news that after Liu Bei entered Shu, he won consecutive battles, but he turned a deaf ear to Jiangnan Army's request for cooperation. What is the purpose of continuing to go his own way?"
Li Xingzai frowned, looking troubled, and finally sighed and said: "Although I am rich in the world and known as the Supreme Being, there are not many people who can be called close friends. I have already killed one friend, how can I kill the second one?"
indivual?"
It is not without reason that the emperor is known as a loner. From the moment Li Xingzai sat on that chair, there were few people in the world who were qualified to be his friends. Nohara Huo died at the hands of Li Xingzai, and he really did not want to lose another friend.
Seeing that Li Xingzai was still swaying, Qi Jiguang was ready to add more strength.
"Has Your Majesty forgotten what happened to Chu Yunsheng?"
Li Xingzai was startled, and his eyes dimmed instantly.
The main contributor to Li Xingzai's success today is neither Song Youqu nor Qi Jiguang. Chu Yunsheng is the well-deserved first person.
But Chu Yunsheng was already dead. He died in Yangzhou City in the south of the Yangtze River. The battle was very difficult and Chu Yunsheng worked hard. After all, he did not survive until Li Xingzai settled in Chang'an City.
Generally speaking, Chu Yunsheng's death was partly due to Cheng Dalei. When Li Xingzai asked Liangzhou for help, Cheng Dalei was procrastinating, making it clear that he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
What's more, the biggest enemy in the Jiangnan War was He, and He was released by Cheng Dalei.
Li Xingzai had to take Qi Jiguang's words to heart, and let's talk about the few people who came out of Toad Village. Lin Shaoyu dragged the world into troubled times, and Nohara Fire burned most of the empire, and Li Xingzai narrowly escaped death.
Will Liu Bei, who has entered Shu now, be the second one again?
Li Xingzai took a deep breath: There are some things that we have to guard against.
Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, which is a blessing for the world. We have just experienced a turbulent time, and the empire really cannot withstand the hardship. As for Cheng Dalei, no matter whether he has any rebellious intentions or not, as long as there is a chance to kill him, he must be killed."
Get rid of him and eliminate any unrest factors."
"Does he really deserve to die?" Li Xingzai asked helplessly.
"A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade. He has threatened His Majesty's strength, so he deserves death."
Li Xingzai closed his eyes, and Qi Jiguang stared at him closely, full of expectation.
Qi Jiguang had wanted to kill Cheng Dalei for more than a day or two, but as long as Li Xingzai didn't spit, no matter what he said, it would be useless.
After a while, Li Xingzai opened his eyes and looked at Qi Jiguang helplessly.
"Your Majesty, if you continue to stop this, the consequences will be endless, right?"
Li Xingzai sighed: "Since he deserves to die, then let him die. You can handle this matter and make it clean."
Qi Jiguang was overjoyed, raised his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter will never let others think of Your Majesty. If anything goes wrong, I will be responsible for it alone."
Li Xingzai waved his hand, his whole body seemed weak, and he sighed in his heart:
