When Li Xingzai said these words, there was a dead silence in the hall. No one spoke, everyone was shocked by the sudden news.
After a long time, whispers started to sound, and someone tentatively asked: "Is the news reliable?"
Li Xingzai didn't answer. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and let the liquor roll down his throat. Then he weakly waved his hand and left the hall silently.
This is also an extremely rare thing. After all, he is already the king of a country, and everything he says and does must follow the rules. And everyone can see that Li Xingzai is in a bit of a mess today, and the reason is naturally because of Cheng Dalei's death.
Qi Jiguang was a reliable person, so of course Li Xingzai could trust him. He hurriedly sent the news to the capital, and was naturally 100% sure that Cheng Dalei was dead.
Although this was the result of Li Xingzai's efforts and a result he was happy to see. But when Cheng Dalei really died, Li Xingzai still felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important.
It took a long time for Li Xingzai to realize what he had lost: with Cheng Dalei's death, an era ended.
This time the princes from all over the world went to Beijing in order to divide the cake after the world was settled. However, due to an unexpected incident, the meeting of princes was postponed.
Because in Li Xingzai's heart, what was more anxious was Cheng Dalei's funeral.
Qi Jiguang is still on the road, rushing to the capital day and night with Cheng Dalei's coffin. The funeral etiquette, Cheng Dalei's posthumous title... many things need to be determined.
At this moment, everything in the capital has been delayed because of this incident. Even the whole world has been affected.
Liu Bei's battle in the land of Jingyi is still going on. As the war progresses, his tentacles have penetrated deep into Yizhou. But when he learned of Cheng Dalei's death, both sides agreed to a three-day truce as a memorial.
Slowly, news leaked out. Everyone knew that Cheng Dalei encountered bandits in Qingniu Mountain, was surrounded by mountain fire and had no way out, and finally fell off a cliff and died.
After hearing the news, everyone felt a little bit sad. Cheng Dalei started out as a bandit in Qingniu Mountain, and finally died at the hands of a group of bandits in Qingniu Mountain. I guess it was fate.
Among the princes in the world, there were many who were ugly and hated Cheng Dalei. I don’t know how many people were looking forward to Cheng Dalei’s death day and night. But when he actually passed away, no one was in a happy mood.
What kind of person is Cheng Dalei? He is domineering in the world, and many powerful beings have died in his hands. Lin Shaoyu and Nohara Huo were all trained by him, and it was the two of them who brought this world into chaos.
But such a person will inevitably die in the end. Everyone is in a low mood. If he is dead, can the rest of his group escape?
Anyone who can become the brains of a force is not a fool. Even if everyone does not know the truth, they can still guess something.
Why did Cheng Dalei die in Qingniu Mountain, why did the Fish Dragon Guard appear at just the right time, and what was hidden in this?
Some people with quick minds can guess some things more or less. But seeing through things without telling them is a kind of wisdom in itself.
The news began to circulate, ferment, and intensify. Li Xingzai was determined to hold a grand funeral for Cheng Dalei. The reason was also to silence the world.
At this time, Qi Jiguang entered Beijing with Cheng Dalei's coffin. The streets were cleared, and there were heavily armed soldiers on both sides. A carriage pulled Cheng Dalei's coffin all the way into the Imperial Palace.
In everyone's eyes, it is indeed an honor for the coffin to enter the palace after death.
However, it is estimated that Cheng Dalei himself would not think so.
Lifting it until it was in front of Li Xingzai, Qi Jiguang bowed to the end and said: "Your Majesty, I have brought Prince Cheng back."
Li Xingzai nodded heavily. When Cheng Dalei died, a stone fell to the ground in his heart. After that, bitterness emerged.
He has been a loner all his life, and seems easy-going, but deep down he is very cold, and his relationship with his father and brother cannot be said to be very good.
There are only a few people he truly considers as friends, and Cheng Dalei is one of them.
He had worked so hard to win the country, but Chu Yunsheng left him along the way, then Nohara Huo, and now Cheng Dalei. Isn’t the price he paid a little too high for that supreme chair?
My heart was sour, and I just felt like my chest was filled with something, extremely heavy.
"Open the coffin, I want to see him for the last time." Li Xingzai said.
"Yes." Qi Jiguang agreed and ordered the coffin to be opened.
"Hold on." Li Xingzai suddenly remembered something: "Let the princess come and say goodbye to him properly."
Li Xingzai naturally referred to Li Waner, and he also understood the relationship between Li Waner and Cheng Dalei. Although killing Cheng Dalei was a bit cruel, it was a last resort.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, there are still some things that we still have to do our best.
During this period of time, Li Xingzai kept looking at the black coffin in front of him, and said in his heart: Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei, once you leave, I will really be alone.
Li Waner arrived very quickly, but unlike Li Xingzai's imagination, Li Waner's expression was very calm and she did not show much sadness.
"Sister..." Li Xingzai was about to say something, but felt that nothing was appropriate. He waved his hand helplessly and ordered the Yulong Guard to open the coffin.
With a creaking sound, the coffin opened a crack. Li Waner was the first to rush to the coffin and took a look inside.
Then, she frowned, and the numbness in her eyes dissipated and there was brightness again. She looked back at Li Xingzai and shook her head gently.
There was another hint of sarcasm in his eyes. Although Li Waner hid it well, it did not escape Li Xingzai's eyes.
Li Waner bowed and left silently.
What on earth happened?
Li Xingzai was confused in his heart. Li Waner's performance was too calm. He also left the chair, came to the coffin, and took a look inside.
With just one glance, Li Xingzai's expression changed drastically. Thanks to him knowing his identity now, he didn't lose his composure in front of others.
Li Xingzai ordered everyone else in the hall to be driven out, leaving only Qi Jiguang alone.
Qi Jiguang was also a little confused. He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty..."
Li Xingzai took a deep breath and struggled to calm down his ups and downs.
"He's still alive."
Qi Jiguang was stunned and said: "How is it possible? In that coffin is..."
"How do I know who is in the coffin? It's not Cheng Dalei anyway." Li Xingzai didn't know how he felt at the moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "I knew he wouldn't die so easily."
Unlike Qi Jiguang, Li Xingzai knew Cheng Dalei. Therefore, Liu Facai's disguise could hide it from Qi Jiguang, but it could not hide it from Li Xingzai and Li Waner's brother and sister.
They can tell the difference just by looking at it.
