In one night, three thousand fish dragon guards were slaughtered, leaving no one alive.
Three thousand lives were thrown into the vast sea like a pebble without causing a single wave. Externally, they only claimed to have wiped out a group of bandits, but did not have any impact on the current Chang'an City at all.
Only a few people knew the truth, and the words Yulongwei shouted in unison before his death also reached Li Xingzai's ears.
Kill the dog officer first, then the foolish king
Li Xingzai felt a little troubled. He had just sat on this chair for a few days, and he didn't even sit on his butt to warm it up. How could he become a fool?
He was chasing this chair not because he was chasing power, but because he really wanted to do something. To inherit the legacy of his ancestors and create peace for all ages. But as a result, he was called a coward before he could secure his position.
Am I really a fool?
Li Xingzai looked at himself in the mirror and asked himself. Along the way, his face also took on a weathered look, and his eyes were no longer as clear as they were when he was a boy. Looking carefully at this moment, there was a deep shadow in his eyes.
Li Xingzai was shocked, that look in his eyes should not be his. I am the king of a country, wealthy and open-minded in my life, so I really shouldn't have such a dark and fearful look in my eyes.
What else in this world could scare him?
…
Cheng Dalei was still wandering on the grassland at this moment. The vast grassland, where the sky and the earth were connected, were uninhabited for thousands of miles.
He was riding a black bull among them. He was really a drop in the ocean and had no sense of existence.
The purpose was to attract the attention of the Fish Dragon Guards and buy time for Xu Shenji and others to move. He fled all the way north, and he didn't know where he fled. What made Cheng Dalei strange was that he encountered fewer and fewer Fish Dragon Guards in the process.
, it seems that they have completely disappeared from the grassland.
Cheng Dalei changed direction and headed west in the direction of the setting sun. He really didn't meet the Yulong Guards again along the way, but he did meet many Rong tribesmen.
When Nohara Huo invaded the border with the elite of the Rong tribe and brought the war to the territory of the empire, although the momentum was huge, it left as quickly as it came, and all the elite Rong tribe was lost to the empire.
The people Cheng Dalei met were all old, weak, women and children. As autumn turned to winter, the weather in the north was particularly cold. The cold wind swept the fallen leaves. I don’t know how many people would not survive next spring.
This Rong tribe has no clothes to cover their body, and they are shrinking their bodies in the cold wind, just like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the cold wind. For them, survival is luck, and failure to survive is fate. There is no way around it.
.
After a war, some people were crowned kings and prime ministers, and some people's names were immortalized, but regardless of whether it was the empire or the Rong clan, more people died silently and lived in agony.
Cheng Dalei also had nothing to say about this scene.
If the road is uneven, someone will plow it, and if things are uneven, someone will take care of it. But if the world is bumpy and all living beings are in trouble, no matter how good the knight is, he will feel powerless.
This world cannot be managed by one or two knights, nor can it be changed by people like Cheng Dalei.
He rode the black bull all the way west, turning a blind eye to what he saw and heard on the road.
The black cow's feet are extremely fast and can travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles in a night. This is also the reason why Cheng Dalei decoupled from the Fish Dragon Guard. The kite flew too high, and when he tried to pull it, he found that he was powerless.
I didn’t know where I was going that day, but I guessed that I was close to Liangzhou, but there were no landmarks around, and Cheng Dalei didn’t have a clue.
A group of people suddenly appeared in front of them. Cheng Dalei immediately steadied himself and was not in a hurry to get closer. When they met in this situation, who knew whether they were enemies or friends? Even if they were just a group of bandits, it would be troublesome if they met.
He quietly hid behind a big tree, looked over, and saw this group of people wearing black armor with a tattoo of a tattoo on their chest.
Cheng Dalei breathed a sigh of relief, came out from behind the big tree, and stopped in the middle of the road.
This group of people was startled, but although they remained calm, they each held their weapons tightly and calmly surrounded Cheng Dalei, blocking Cheng Dalei's escape direction.
Only then did the leader ask, "Who are you?"
Cheng Dalei secretly praised in his heart that he was worthy of the soldiers he brought out. After being baptized by the flames of war, even ordinary soldiers can stand alone.
"Where is Qin Man now? Let him come to see me." Seeing his men and horses, Cheng Dalei felt confident. Being chased like a dog these days, Cheng Dalei felt miserable in his heart.
"Bold!" the leading young general shouted: "How dare you call General Qin by his first name, who are you..."
Having said this, he suddenly froze and looked at Cheng Dalei up and down with a strange look on his face.
After all, there are currently 200,000 to 300,000 horses in Liangzhou. It is impossible for Cheng Dalei to have seen every one of them, and it is impossible for everyone to have seen Cheng Dalei. However, Cheng Dalei’s appearance is eye-catching and extremely ugly. In addition, Cheng Dalei’s appearance is eye-catching.
The black bull sitting under him and the ghost-faced ax on his back are indeed the only ones in the world.
"Are you the boss..."
"Isn't the boss dead?"
Several people were whispering together, and Cheng Dalei couldn't understand what they were saying. He waved his hands and said, "Qin Man should be nearby. Call him over, and things will become clear to you."
The young general at the head thought for a while and did not dare to neglect. He said to the two members: "You should go back quickly and explain the situation here to the general."
It seems that this person is extremely vigilant and still does not completely trust Cheng Dalei. He sent two people back to report the news, and he led his men to keep Cheng Dalei under surveillance, but did not withdraw the encirclement.
Cheng Dalei breathed a sigh of relief, got off the back of the black bull, and rested against the big tree.
No matter what, I have just returned home. When I meet up with Qin Man, I can go and stay as I please, and no one can do anything to me.
He looked at the young general and asked, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"
The young general thought for a while and didn't dare to completely trust Cheng Dalei, but he also didn't dare to offend him.
"This is Hu Yuan." The other party clasped his fists and handed over his hands, but he didn't reveal too much.
Cheng Dalei nodded: "You are very good, I don't think you will be a good talent in the future."
Hu Yuan didn't say anything, mainly because he couldn't figure out whether Cheng Dalei was genuine or not, and whether he should accept or refute his praise, so he chose to ignore it.
The two sides stood there in a state of confusion. Cheng Dalei also found it a bit funny, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward unconsciously.
"Just now you said Cheng Dalei was dead, how could this happen?"
As soon as the voice fell, Hu Yuan suddenly looked at Cheng Dalei angrily, wishing he could draw his sword on the spot. It seemed that in his heart, he worshiped Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei waved his hand to indicate that he had no intention of offending, but was speechless in his heart.
"May I ask your name?" Hu Yuan said.
"Me." Cheng Dalei touched his nose and said with a smile: "My surname is Niu, my last name is Sanjin. Your Master Cheng sent the black cattle to me and said that he would send me back to Liangzhou with a thousand taels of silver. I am specifically sending cattle
