Qian Tongyu slowly calmed down and forced a smile: "I'm serious, I'm serious. Is Master Cheng really going to Chang'an?"
"I really don't want to go." Cheng Dalei said: "I've been feeling cold recently and have been traveling all the way. However, His Majesty has sent someone to issue an order. It's really unjustifiable not to go. Alas, after all, I have to work hard and can't enjoy peace and happiness."
Qian Tongyu and the other two people all kept their mouths shut. Some words were not convenient for them to say. After all, they couldn't point at Cheng Dalei's nose and say: You, a bandit, are not seeking death by going to Chang'an.
A surprising person must do surprising things. Since Cheng Dalei was born, many things he has done are invisible to everyone, but he always has unexpected gains. This time he went to Chang'an in danger, and he must have been confident in his heart, at least
It can guarantee that you will escape unscathed.
Where does his confidence come from? Could it be that he is secretly supported by the Li family, and the two parties have reached a certain alliance.
Naturally, no one is a fool who can become the lord of a city. Qian Tongyu, Bai Kongji, and Sun Bieshan are no exception. At this moment, they are all thinking in their hearts. Cheng Dalei is sitting in front of them, and he can kill him with his sword.
But he seemed to be surrounded by a fog that made it impossible to see through.
Qian Tongyu laughed and tried to dilute the seriousness of the scene: "Then I would like to wish Master Cheng a safe journey. In fact, Master Cheng has misunderstood. The three of us have always admired Master Cheng, otherwise we would not have sent anyone there.
Talk to Mr. Cheng. However, forgive us for being selfish. In troubled times, it is inevitable that we will have more thoughts in our hearts."
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Dalei finished his glass of wine: "I know that my reputation in the empire is not very good. Whether it is true or false, the world can decide for themselves. But let me ask, has anyone heard that I am sorry for my own people?"
The three of them thought about it for a moment, and found out that indeed, Cheng Dalei had no stain in this regard. For Lin Shaoyu, he did not hesitate to be the enemy of the entire empire, and even though scholars criticized him verbally and writing, the word "righteousness" in benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust, Cheng Dalei
It's not lost.
"If we talk about sincerity, my appearance here today is my sincerity. Since I want to be friends with the three of them, I will first hand over my life and death to the three of them. However, what the three of them said and did is really not satisfactory, and it really makes Cheng Mou talk about it.
I don’t admire you enough.”
Qian Tongyu and the other three all lowered their heads, a little ashamed in their hearts. But Sun Bieshan spoke first and said: "It's not that I don't trust Master Cheng, it's just the way the world is. Now that the words have reached this point, Sun will pick the topic."
Let me be clear. From now on, people named Sun will work with Master Cheng. In Liangzhou, Master Cheng has the final say."
Qian Tongyu paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Cheng is the one who is following his lead."
Only Bai Kongji did not express his position. Cheng Dalei looked at him, Qian Tongyu and Sun Bieshan also looked at him at the same time.
Bai Kongji and Song Bokang are sworn brothers. Regardless of their friendship, they have a good reputation. Who knows what he will choose, but Cheng Da Lei is not in a hurry, he is very patient. If friendship is really valuable, why would Bai Kongji show up today?
it's here.
"I'll listen to Master Cheng from now on."
Cheng Dalei picked up the wine glass and said: "Please."
The three of them raised their glasses at the same time and said in unison: "Honor Cheng, Master."
The setting sun sinks into the western mountains, and a bright moon rises in the sky. Looking through the window, the water and sky are the same color, and I can hear the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects in my ears.
Qian Tongyu drank till his face turned red and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng. We will rest in the city today. There is a little red carp from Pinlou who is both beautiful and beautiful. She will serve Mr. Cheng tonight."
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "No, I still have things to do at home, so I won't rest here tonight."
Qian Tongyu and the other three looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that the little red carp could not satisfy Cheng Dalei's appetite, and Cheng Dalei disliked the other party for being a prostitute.
It is not impossible that it is possible that the singer and concubine of the family must be sacrificed, or even Qian Tongyu's daughter and niece.
If Cheng Dalei can really win the title of King of Liangzhou, even if it is given to him, it will not be a big deal, and it cannot be said that it is a good thing.
But at present, Cheng Dalei is not worthy of Qian Tongyu's expense. Now Qian Tongyu doesn't understand Cheng Dalei's push for three things, but he has never heard that he is a vegetarian.
Cheng Dalei had made up his mind to leave, but Qian Tongyu and the others tried to persuade him to stay in vain. They had no choice but to take Cheng Dalei all the way to the ferry. Cheng Dalei boarded the boat, and the two sides surrendered to each other.
"Cheng Dalei, have a nice trip."
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. Please come back."
The silver-eyed oars were still swaying down the river, and the boat was moving very fast. But Qian Tongyu and the other three stood at the ferry, looking at Cheng Dalei's disappearing figure in the distance, but they had not yet left.
"Are you really going to let him go like this?" Bai Kongji said, "It's easier to manipulate a tiger than to capture it?"
Sun Bieshan said: "If we really take action, are we sure to save his life? Even if we kill him, so what? The elite soldiers from Toad Village will swarm us. Can we really stop him?"
"It may not be unstoppable." Bai Kongji said.
"Tiger..." Qian Tongyu shook his head: "This tiger has already revealed its horns. Looking at the entire empire, I dare not say that, but in Liangzhou, he is already a dragon that has transformed into weather and rain. I can't say that one day he will ride on the wind."
Rising up, the dragon soared into the sky."
Bai Kongji was stunned: "Are we really going to follow a bandit?"
"If a successful person is a prince and a defeated person is a bandit, who dares to call him a thief?"
Haojia is far away from Liangzhou City, but it is faster to go down the river than upstream. In about two hours, Cheng Dalei had returned to Liangzhou City.
Liu Bei, Xu Shenji, and Wu Yong were all waiting at the City Lord's Mansion. They were also worried about Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei had the courage to take risks, but who knew if Qian Tongyu would jump over the wall in a hurry.
The three of them were relieved when they saw Cheng Dalei coming back. Xiaolu brought sobering tea, and Cheng Dalei rinsed his mouth and spit in the spittoon.
"Master, what's going on? Has the matter been settled?" Wu Yong said.
"If you can come back alive, it means that we are almost done talking about it. If you contact them again, many things should be easier to talk about."
Not only Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu, but also Cui Baiyu and others were amazed by Cheng Dalei's deeds. If you want to be the boss of Liangzhou, you have to behave like a boss. The people Cui Baiyu has interacted with before are not lacking in wisdom and calculation, but courage
This kind of thing is indeed a rare quality among aristocratic children.
"Can we trust them?" Wu Yong asked.
Cheng Dalei couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Xu Shenji wouldn't even ask such a stupid question.
There is no such thing as absolute trust in the world. It's just that the temptation is not enough. As long as they can't afford the price of betrayal, they can only choose to trust.
"It seems that I really want to go to Chang'an." Cheng Dalei sat quietly for a while and drank a cup of tea. Now he felt that it was a good thing to be justified.
