There is no colorful phoenix flying wings in the body, but there is a clear understanding in the heart.
The expression on Mo Jiangnan's face became increasingly ugly, his muscles twisted up, and his forearms tightened. But the knife that fell into Cheng Dalei's hand did not move an inch.
Even the two followers behind Mo Jiangnan had expressions of astonishment on their faces. They couldn't believe that there was someone in the world who could catch Mo Jiangnan's thunderous sword with two fingers.
But this scene actually happened before my eyes.
"I have shown enough restraint, I hope you will not push yourself too far."
Click!
Following Cheng Dalei's voice, the steel knife was broken by Cheng Dalei's two fingers. He waved his hand and plunged the tip of the knife into the ground.
Mo Jiangnan's face turned ashen. Defeat was not terrible. What was terrible was losing so miserably. The power Cheng Dalei showed made him understand that the gap between him and Cheng Dalei was something that he could not overcome even after all his hard work.
.
But after all, he is the leader of Wanma Hall, and he is used to being aloof. Today in front of so many people, there is really no place to lose face.
"People with the surname Cheng are bound to meet each other in the mountains and rivers. When we meet next time, I will take revenge today."
Cheng Dalei curled his lips and suddenly took a step forward. Before Mo Jiangnan could understand what was going on, Cheng Dalei appeared in front of him. Suddenly, Cheng Dalei grabbed him by the collar, picked him up on the spot, and threw him out for seven seconds.
Eight meters away.
Mo Jiangnan fell so hard that his internal organs were about to be shattered. Two of his men went over and hurriedly lifted him up from the ground.
"Brother, are you okay, brother?"
Mo Jiangnan spat out a mouthful of blood and glanced at Cheng Dalei. Seeing Cheng Dalei looking over, he immediately averted his eyes. With the help of two men, he mounted his horse and disappeared in a flash.
After the three of them had walked far away, they could no longer see the people at Qinchuan Pass, so they let out a long sigh of relief.
"Brother, are you feeling well?" the subordinate asked.
Mo Jiangnan's face was pale, and he had obviously suffered serious injuries. The key is that what happened today had a huge impact on his soul. The leader of the northwest green forest could not even finish a single move in front of Cheng Dalei today.
There is no falsehood under such a great reputation. Today, there is no need to admit Cheng Dalei's greatness without any difficulty.
"Hmph!" Mo Jiangnan snorted coldly from the wings of his nose and said: "If Cheng Dalei wants to be a coward, let him do it. Our brothers will go to Chang'an City and let the heroes of the world know Cheng Dalei's cowardly behavior."
"Walk!"
Three horses disappeared in the middle of nowhere.
…
At night, in Liangzhou City, a banquet was being held in the city lord's palace.
At the banquet, there were the Liangzhou Shepherd Song Bokang, the military general Dai Bai, the chief official Lu Luo, and the nobles of Liangzhou City... and the host of today's banquet was naturally the imperial prince Li Xingzai.
Everyone was sitting on the floor. In the center of the hall, there was a dancer from the Western Regions, swaying her toned waist, singing and dancing.
The upper echelons of the empire are all very smart. After drinking, everyone is a little drunk, and they have thrown aside the majesty and etiquette when they are sober. Some people are fencing and singing, and some are dancing with the dancer... The most romantic among them is Li Xingzai.
, he hugged the dancer on the left and right, holding in his arms a pink dancer who was only eighteen or nineteen years old at most. Sometimes he would hold one in his arms and take a sip of wine, and sometimes he would eat the rouge on the other's lips.
Fordler was also at the banquet today. He was not far from Li Xingzai. But no one wanted to talk to him. Of course, he didn't want to talk to these people either. He just sat there and watched this scene coldly.
Since meeting Li Xingzai, this is the first time I have seen him look like this. He looks more and more like a big shot in the empire.
Or, he is.
Fordler didn't know that the Sixth Prince was famous for two things in Chang'an back then, one was a waste, and the other was a romantic.
At this moment, he was going back and forth, pouring wine into his stomach. His face was already glowing red, but his eyes were still very clear.
"Your Highness, please drink this cup to the full. I have made arrangements for tonight. Zhu'er Cui'er will wait for His Highness to go to bed and relieve His Highness from the dust." Song Bokang.
Zhuer Cui'er is the dancer who accompanies Li Xingzai to drink. The two girls are of the same age and look very cute and adorable.
Li Xingzai laughed, drank the wine in the glass, picked up another glass of wine, and faced everyone.
"You are all the pillars of the empire. Today's solution to the country's difficulties depends entirely on the special forces. I dedicate this glass of wine to you all."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, you will die for the sake of the country and the people!"
Everyone was enjoying the banquet, but they didn't know when they would stop. Li Xingzai was helped back to the room, and fell asleep as soon as he was placed on the bed.
He and Fudler lived in a closed courtyard in the city lord's palace, which was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and the curved eaves and cloisters were particularly elegant. Li Xingzai lived in the main room, while Fudler lived in the side hall.
Li Xingzai fell asleep, but Fordler could not fall asleep. Thinking that Li Xingzai had a maid with him when he slept, but he could only sleep alone in the cold quilt, even Fordler felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
A gust of night wind blew the window lattice, and Fordler instantly grasped the waist knife under the pillow, his eyes shining like stars.
"who?"
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Li Xingzai breathed calmly.
Fordler was startled and found that although Li Xingzai was smelling of alcohol, he was speaking very soberly, not as drunk as he had been just now.
"Why are you here, willing to let go of your beautiful girl?" Fordler said with jealousy.
Li Xingzai curled his lips and said: "Stop talking nonsense. When we get to Chang'an, I will give you whatever you want. But here... we are not safe."
"This is your family's territory, so there's nothing unsafe about it. Look at how kind they are to you. They held a big banquet when they arrived and even had beauties waiting for you."
Fordler said sourly, and found that Li Xingzai's face had no trace of the cynicism before, and was more serious than ever before.
"But I didn't come here for the wine and beauties. The siege of Chang'an has not yet been resolved. Who would want to party and drink here?"
Fordler was startled: "What do you mean?"
Li Xingzai sighed: "The empire is the Li family's empire, but Liangzhou may not be the Li family's Liangzhou. In my opinion, Song Bokang has no intention of sending troops."
"Since I don't want to send troops, why do I want to bring you back?" Fordler asked confused.
Li Xingzai was silent for a moment and said: "We just wait for the city of Chang'an to be broken, and then we can take the prince hostage to order the princes."
The empire does not lack rebels, but similarly, the Li family does not lack support. After all, the Li family has been sitting on the throne for more than a hundred years. Once Chang'an is broken, the princes from all over the country will surely rise up in the name of wiping out the rebels. Until then.
At that time, the title of an imperial prince was quite valuable.
After seeing Song Bokang's performance today, Li Xingzai roughly guessed this.
Since Song Bokang dared to make this idea, it proved two things. First, Chang'an City might not be able to be defended, and second, he really treated himself as a waste.
