A funeral was held in Chang'an City. The whole city wore sackcloth and mourning, and no music was allowed. I don't know how many people scolded Cheng Dalei for his mother. He died immediately, but it was unknown how much business of the brothel and karaoke house was delayed.
Regarding this matter, everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out. After all, even today, we had to eat cold food for three days and worship three times in front of Cheng Dalei's tomb.
Many princes in the world were unconvinced. Originally, everyone rushed to Chang'an City to discuss how to divide the cake. However, they were delayed a lot of time by Cheng Dalei's funeral.
Everyone admires what Cheng Dalei has done, but this idea only came up after he died. If he was still alive, everyone wouldn't mind letting him die again.
This incident created a great deal of momentum, and for a long time, all ongoing matters in Chang'an City were delayed. What everyone was concerned about and talking about was Cheng Dalei's funeral.
Li Xingzai did this to silence the living people and at the same time to reassure himself.
Everyone knows that Li Xingzai made this matter a big deal, and his handling of Cheng Dalei's funeral was definitely not the standard of a prince.
But what everyone doesn't know is that the palace has stepped up the security of Li Xingzai. During this period of time, Li Xingzai did not sleep with any concubine in the harem, and even when he slept in the middle of the night, he was wearing soft armor.
Even so, Li Xingzai would still wake up in the middle of the night, breaking into a cold sweat, always feeling that an ax would fall from the sky and chop off his head.
The reason for this is because Li Xingzai knew that Cheng Dalei was not dead.
There is a certain kind of people in this world that you cannot mess with. Their flaws will be repaid. If you steal a date from them today, you will be asked to give back a date tree later.
It just so happens that Cheng Dalei is this kind of person.
If he had offended Cheng Dalei, the matter would not be so serious. After all, Cheng Dalei knew that he wanted to kill him, so it didn't matter. But the difference was that this time it was Liu Facai who died for Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei neither wants others to owe him, nor does he want to owe others anything.
If Cheng Dalei didn't come out and do something about this matter, Li Xingzai wouldn't believe it even if he was a ghost.
So he strengthened his defense, hiding knives under his pillow, and wearing soft armor when sleeping, all to guard against Cheng Dalei. But even so, he could not completely rest assured.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Jiguang was really shocked when he saw Li Xingzai again.
I saw that Li Xingzai's face was yellow, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had completely lost weight.
Qi Jiguang took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, you should take care of your dragon body."
Li Xingzai waved his hands feebly and asked, "Is there any news?"
Qi Jiguang glanced up and saw that the main hall was filled with armored warriors. What he and Li Xingzai were talking about was highly confidential. Logically speaking, only the two of them knew about it.
"But it doesn't matter, they don't need to care."
Li Xingzai was truly frightened and did not dare to let down his guard at any time for fear that a sword would appear and take his life.
Only then did Qi Jiguang feel relieved and reported: "My subordinates have sent additional manpower, but so far, nothing has been found. But don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as there is news, we will never let him go."
Li Xingzai sighed: "Sometimes no news is the worst news. You have to understand that you have already lost at his hands once, but you must not have a second time. You and I can no longer afford to lose."
.”
Qi Jiguang hung his head in shame and began today's report: "According to His Majesty's instructions, heavy troops have been deployed on the front line of Liangzhou. Whenever there is any trouble with the Liangzhou soldiers, we will take action as soon as possible. But so far, there has been no one in Liangzhou.
Any possible movement."
"Based on that person's temper, he is very likely to take risks. Although he now has 300,000 elite soldiers and is qualified to fight against the imperial court, he still thinks that he is a Jianghu man, and I am afraid he still does things the Jianghu man's way."
Li Xingzai knew Cheng Dalei, so he felt even more terrible. Now Li Xingzai was like the landlord sleeping downstairs. The first boot had fallen, and he had been waiting for the second boot. Because he knew that sooner or later, it would fall on him.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea." Qi Jiguang said: "Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to lure the snake out of its hole. My idea is to lure the other party out and then eliminate the roots."
Li Xingzai narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the explanation?"
Qi Jiguang sorted out his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty has ascended the throne, so he should choose an auspicious day to go out of the city to worship heaven and worship his ancestors. If the other party wants to take action, this may be the best opportunity. Your Majesty can deploy elite troops to eradicate him.
.”
Li Xingzai looked thoughtful, then was suddenly startled and said, "Do you want me to be used as bait?"
"This subordinate's crime deserves death." Qi Jiguang knelt down and said, "But Your Majesty, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
Li Xingzai shook his head resolutely: "This will never work. You have to know what kind of existence the other party is and lure the snake out of its hole. I can guarantee that the other party will eat all the bait and escape without a trace."
Logically speaking, after Li Xingzai conquered the country, he should also find an auspicious day to comfort the ancestors of the Li family. Tell those underground souls: This country still belongs to our Li family, you don't have to worry.
But because things happened one after another and the main focus was on Cheng Dalei, Li Xingzai didn't have time to do it.
Li Xingzai will not take this risk. Cheng Dalei can not take his life seriously and be a lone killer. But Li Xingzai is different. Li Xingzai is now the king of a country, and the whole world belongs to him. He is no longer the same as before.
There is no need to fight Cheng Dalei for his life as a desperado.
Qi Jiguang knelt on the ground. He just mentioned this method. If Li Xingzai didn't agree, there would be nothing he could do.
"My subordinates will find the whereabouts of the other party as soon as possible. If he dares to come to Chang'an City, he will be killed and he will not cause any trouble."
Li Xingzai nodded, not having any confidence in Qi Jiguang. He said, "I have a way, but I don't know if it will be useful. Just do your best and obey fate."
"May I ask your Majesty's opinion?"
Li Xingzai issued an edict regarding the rewards for several people in Toad Village. In a small Toad Village, several people were crowned kings. People like Gao Fei Hu and Gao Fei Bao were all given the title of first-grade general.
Although it is in name only, it is still a matter of honoring the ancestors.
The reason why Li Xingzai was willing to do this was just to tell Cheng Dalei that I have treated you well, more or less, and you should miss some old feelings and should not keep asking for the truth.
After Qi Jiguang learned of Li Xingzai's intentions, he immediately sent down the order, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he wanted to reassure Li Xingzai first.
