Cheng Dalei stayed in the dungeon and never came out. He was determined to break through the prison. No outsiders were seen. Gao Feibao or Zhang Fei and others brought in his meals every day.
It is rare for Cheng Dalei to be so cautious or timid, which shows that he attaches great importance to Nie Yinniang. Cheng Dalei attaches so much importance to her that the people in the village do not dare to relax their vigilance. They all know that they have encountered a difficult enemy this time.
Heavy security was deployed outside the dungeon, and people on the three floors inside and outside protected Cheng Dalei. With the dungeon as the center, a dragnet search was launched, inch by inch, and after going through the entire Toad City, the search continued outwards.
During that time, Toad City was buzzing with noise, the vegetation was full of soldiers, and patrols often appeared within a radius of ten miles. Now it is more troublesome to get in and out of Toad City than before.
Using the power of an entire village to deal with one person is something that has never been done before.
Days passed day by day, and counting on my fingers, more than a month had passed.
On this day, Liu Bei came to the dungeon and reported to Cheng Dalei what had happened recently. When he saw Cheng Dalei's appearance, he was speechless.
He saw Cheng Dalei wearing toad armor and holding a sword in his hand at all times. Liu Bei had no doubt that Cheng Dalei always dressed like this when sleeping.
"There is news from Chang'an that Li Xingzai has arrived at Luofeng City safely, and Bai Yuanfei is also on his way back."
Cheng Dalei attaches great importance to intelligence work. Now the empire is divided into two emperors and eighteen kings. Cheng Dalei ordered Ah Xi to train manpower and place spies in the fiefdoms of various princes and kings. Now this work has just begun and has not yet been completed. However, the city of Chang'an
Where information circulates, Ah Xi has already set up an informant.
"It's good that we arrived safely." Cheng Dalei said, "Did you encounter anything on the way?"
"According to the news from Bai Yuanfei, there were several assassinations on the road. According to his judgment, they were sent by the General's Mansion. In the end, Li Xingzai faked his death and escaped and arrived safely in the fiefdom."
Cheng Dalei breathed a sigh of relief: "I know that Li Xingzai is still very energetic, but the distance between the East China Sea and Liangzhou is too far, so I'm afraid we won't be able to help much in the future."
"Another thing is that now all the princes and kings have issued recruitment orders to recruit masters in the world and recruit them into their own ranks. Now this matter has caused a big fuss in the world."
"It is expected that people in Jianghu will also rely on this to find a way out."
"Master, should we take some action, such as setting up a recruitment hall to recruit experts in the world?"
Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him and thought: Do I need a master? What I struggle with is that I have too many masters. He waved his hand: "What's next?"
"Oh, there is one last thing. Song Bokang from Liangzhou sent someone here and wants to meet with the boss, saying that they have something important to discuss?"
"No." Cheng Dalei said simply: "You don't know what my situation is now. How can I meet them? By the way, what are they doing this time?"
"Yu Heshen talked with the people they sent over, but was unable to extract their words. The Xizi team is investigating, and I believe there will be news soon."
Cheng Dalei nodded, he was still very confident about the ability of his men.
After Liu Bei finished his report, he looked at Cheng Dalei with an expression that he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"Master, how long do you plan to stay in bed? You haven't changed your clothes for a month, right? They're getting rotten." Liu Bei covered his nose.
"Do you think I want to be like this? But the world is big and there is no one alive. What if I run out and get killed with a sword?" Cheng Dalei said helplessly.
"It's been such a long time. From my point of view, the assassin knew that there was nothing he could do and was afraid that he would have left."
Cheng Dalei curled his lips: "It's easy to say, but how can you risk such a thing? You can't understand the temperament of a killer like this. Their minds are a little unclear, and they will never give up until they achieve their goals."
"But hiding like this is not an option. The boss has been locked up here, and he is afraid that his head will soon become unclear." Liu Bei said.
Cheng Dalei rolled his eyes at him and said, "Is there anything else? If not, I will go into seclusion to learn the sword."
Liu Bei opened his mouth, hesitated, and hesitated for a long time: "There is something, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. It's just a private matter. It's not really important. However, it may be somewhat important to the big boss, but the big boss
Current situation……"
"explain!"
Liu Bei's expression froze: "The saint of the All Things Sect is leaving."
"What's going on? You two just got married and you had a conflict. Where is she going? Back to her parents' house?" Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up, and his spirit of gossip burned brightly.
"It's not the original saint, it's the current saint, Princess Mingyu, she's leaving."
Cheng Dalei was startled: "What... is this?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to travel around the world. As for the exact reason, we have no way of knowing, but according to my subordinates' observations, Her Royal Highness has decided to go."
"Look, after becoming a saint, my mind has become a little unclear." Cheng Dalei said: "Call her back, and I will talk to her in person to make her change her mind."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Liu Bei said with some hesitation, "Her Highness the Princess is leaving today."
Cheng Dalei was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "Where are you now?"
"It's time to just leave the city."
When Liu Bei finished speaking, before he could recover, Cheng Dalei was no longer in sight. Cheng Dalei strode out of the dungeon, and when he reached the door, he pushed open the cell door with both arms, and a gust of breeze blew in his face.
Cheng Dalei paused and said subconsciously: "It turns out it's already summer."
Li Mochou was guarding outside the prison, and she was Cheng Dalei's first line of defense. Today was the first official meeting between her and Cheng Dalei, and she was obviously stunned when she saw Cheng Dalei.
After staying in the dungeon for so long, even though he had no worries about food and clothing, he was still a little decadent. Li Mochou looked up and down at Cheng Dalei, and finally curled her lips slightly: "So he's so ugly."
"Let's go."
Cheng Dalei suddenly jumped up, crossed the city gate, stepped on the roof and headed towards the city gate.
This move made Li Mochou narrow his eyes, but he never expected that Cheng Dalei, the Lord of Toad City, could have such outstanding Qinggong.
She tiptoed to the ground and jumped up as well, following behind Cheng Dalei.
Li Waner had indeed just left the city, and the followers of the All Things Sect had been sent five miles away from the city.
"No need to send her off, you can go back." Li Waner waved behind her.
"Your Highness the Saint, let us go with you." The believers of the All Things Sect were reluctant to be separated from Li Waner.
"This is my own business, just stay here."
Li Waner was dressed in coarse linen clothes without any makeup. She had a bamboo stick in her hand and a donkey standing beside her.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Cheng Dalei arrived at this moment with great strides.
