Happiness comes so suddenly that people are caught off guard and don't know what to do.
Cheng Dalei sneaked in without anyone noticing, which was like giving everyone a blow in the head. But when it comes to the real fight, although Cheng Dalei's offensive is fierce, everyone may not be able to resist it. And once time prolongs, as long as he finds a gap, Cheng Dalei will
Defeat is inevitable.
Of course, Zhang Baihe and others also performed at a superb level today. In the battle just now, everyone overcame their fear and made no mistakes at all, which was how they defeated Cheng Dalei.
Monk Tongxuan kicked Cheng Dalei and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than that."
"It's hard to live up to his reputation. There are so many people like him in the world. Everyone is intimidated by his reputation, but in fact he is vulnerable." Zhang Baihe said.
Monk Qingshi spoke at this time: "We will do our best to work for His Majesty. This can be regarded as too many helpers and too few helpers. If the right time, place, people and people were not on our side today, it would not be easy to defeat him. No matter what,
The poor monk admires him in his heart."
Everyone nodded in unison, agreeing with Monk Qingshi's statement. However, only the victors were qualified to say such honorable words. Standing in front of the enemy's corpse, no one minded showing off their high moral integrity.
As for what he is thinking in his heart, it is not enough to explain to outsiders.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Dalei, and their eyes became hot.
There is no doubt that whoever killed Cheng Dalei with his own hands must have done a great job. When Lin Shaoyu died on the battlefield, his weapons and horses were snatched away, and his body was cut into pieces.
Cheng Dalei had done more evil than Lin Shaoyu. His body would probably have the same ending.
Zhang Baihe and others looked at each other, each clenching their weapons. Who should make the final cut? Judging from everyone's expressions, no one wanted to let go of this opportunity. They might even move their hands against each other, judging by the strength of the weak.
"You shall not kill him."
An unexpected voice sounded, and Li Waner finally struggled to the window. She said to everyone downstairs: "We can't kill him. Send him to Chang'an for His Majesty's disposal."
Everyone was shocked and suddenly understood. That's right, Cheng Dalei didn't kill anyone he wanted. If he went all out during the fight, killing him would be a death. But since he was captured alive, he couldn't do it casually.
It was Li Xingzai's decision to send him back to his hometown, whether to kill him or to kill him.
Monk Qingshi clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness's views coincide with those of the poor monk, who is about to report to Your Highness."
Li Waner stood weakly in front of the window and said: "You can't kill him, you must not kill him..."
She had exhausted her last strength when she said this. Her meaning became increasingly vague, and she fainted after saying this.
This matter cannot be done with a big fanfare, it must be done quietly, and even Fan Muye cannot reveal too much.
First, send someone back to Chang'an to report what happened here. Monk Qingshi and Zhang Baihe escorted Cheng Dalei together. As for Li Waner, she also had to be sent back to Chang'an because she was injured.
In fact, in Li Xingzai's heart, the most important thing at the moment is Cheng Dalei's matter. As for other things, it doesn't matter. He should take care of Cheng Dalei first, and then do other things later.
…
In the middle of the night, Qi Jiguang entered the palace in a panic and woke up Li Xingzai in bed.
This is a very rare thing. After all, Qi Jiguang is a very conscientious person and always knows what he should and should not do.
This time he broke the rules and must have encountered something urgent.
When he saw Li Xingzai, Li Xingzai was still sleepy. His sleep quality has been very poor recently, it is difficult to fall asleep, and he is easily woken up.
"What happened?" Li Xingzai asked, yawning.
"Your Majesty, I'm so happy, so happy..." Qi Jiguang knelt down and said, "The thief has been captured."
Li Xingzai was startled, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He waved away the eunuchs and maids beside him, and stared at Qi Jiguang intently. When he spoke, his voice actually trembled a bit.
"Is it true?"
"It's absolutely true." Qi Jiguang was also a little excited: "My subordinates have already seen it, and there will be no lies this time. He was hit by a poisoned arrow, and he was not allowed to wake up along the way."
Li Xingzai was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say for a moment. During this time, he had been troubled by nightmares, unable to sleep or eat. Now that the culprit of the nightmares had been caught, a big stone fell in his heart.
He fell to the ground. However, he did not cry with joy as he imagined. Instead, he felt empty and wondered whether he was in a dream.
Qi Jiguang was also silent for a long time. After receiving the news, he was also stunned for a long time. Some good news is too sudden and it does take some time to digest.
After a long while, Li Xingzai asked: "Has the news leaked out?"
The most important thing is not to let the people in Toad Village know. Once they know, they will inevitably launch an operation to rescue Cheng Dalei. If they know that he killed Cheng Dalei, he will definitely become the enemy of Liangzhou's 300,000 cavalry.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have transferred him to the Chang'an Sky Prison. All the prisoners in the prison have been transferred, and the jailers are all trustworthy people. Not many people know about this matter, and it will be easy to clean up afterwards."
Qi Jiguang had already done this once before when he wanted to kill people and silence them. The second time he was naturally familiar with the process, and he had learned to prepare in advance.
"Your Majesty, how to kill?"
Qi Jiguang finally asked this question. After finally capturing Cheng Dalei, he was bound to die. The key was which method of death should be used to let him go. It would not be too much to kill Cheng Dalei with a thousand cuts. But because His Majesty is the same as Cheng Dalei.
Because of our friendship, it is reasonable to leave his body intact.
After he finished speaking, he realized that Li Xingzai had been silent and he had not waited for the response he wanted. He raised his head and saw Li Xingzai's eyes flickering, as if he was making difficult considerations.
"Your Majesty..." Qi Jiguang couldn't help but call out: "Do you want to give the order?"
"My dear, do you think he really must die?"
Qi Jiguang was stunned and felt that it was ridiculous. If he was not allowed to die, why would everyone spend so much effort?
In fact, Li Xingzai had not made up his mind. Cheng Dalei had a reason to die. Killing him would indeed solve a lot of troubles once and for all.
Li Xingzai has been living in a nightmare for the past six months. Being tortured by the words Cheng Dalei made him miserable. But when the real thing came and faced Cheng Dalei, he hesitated in his heart.
He hates Cheng Dalei and is afraid of Cheng Dalei, but he is also grateful to him in his heart.
What Qi Jiguang didn't understand was: Li Xingzai wanted Cheng Dalei to die precisely because he couldn't kill Cheng Dalei. But when he really had the ability to kill him, Li Xingzai had no need to want him to die.
