Baili Sheng died too suddenly and too quickly. Cheng Dalei still needs to digest this news.
With the power of following the dragon, after tomorrow, Baili Sheng will definitely hold the imperial military power in his hands. As a minister, this can be said to be a step to the sky. But often standing too high will block the way of others.
Could it be that some force wants to clear the roadblock?
A dozen assassins suddenly appeared and disappeared mysteriously. This was Chang'an under the emperor's feet. Cheng Dalei would never believe it if no big shot was involved.
"Master, will the court suspect that we did it?" Liu Facai said.
"Uh... it shouldn't be possible, right?" Cheng Dalei was stunned and said, "I am innocent."
Liu Facai curled his lips and said, "This is the amount of dirty water that was poured on the boss."
Cheng Dalei took a breath and felt that Liu Facai's words were not unreasonable. He had just met Bai Li Sheng, and he was assassinated by an assassin. Moreover, the relationship between Bai Li Sheng and Cheng Dalei was really difficult to deal with. Cheng Dalei had an obvious motive.
.
Will those blind people in the imperial court blame the incident on themselves? The key to the question is not whether they have done it or not, but whether it is valuable to them to accuse them wrongly.
Thinking of this, things became complicated. At this moment, Zhang Tianci had finished handling the matter at hand and was coming towards Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei shook his head and had no choice but to put this matter aside and deal with the little Celestial Master first.
"Master Cheng, I apologize for not greeting you well." Zhang Tianci came over and saluted Cheng Dalei first.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Cheng Dalei waved his hand casually: "I also came because of his reputation. I heard that Master Zhang has the ability to predict the unknown. I happen to have something I want to ask the Master to explain."
Zhang Tianci sat down and said, "If it were someone else, Xiaodao would never refuse. But Master Cheng is a master, and the so-called prediction of the future is just a way to fool fools and fools, and it cannot be taken seriously."
"What about turning stones into gold and growing lotuses step by step?"
"Of course it's fake." Zhang Tianci waved his hand and said, "It's just some little tricks."
Cheng Dalei curled his lips. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but the other party's admission was so generous and straightforward, which caught Cheng Dalei off guard. The key is that it's hard to find fault...
He took a deep breath and felt that this opponent was a bit difficult and he had to brace himself to deal with it.
"The Heavenly Master just said a stupid word, and I would like to ask you for advice. What is your purpose of fooling these believers?"
Zhang Tianci looked in the direction of Cheng Dalei's finger and saw crowds of people crowded together to grab blessing cakes. Those who got the blessing cakes were beaming with joy, and those who couldn't get them felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
"The picture is just a letter." Zhang Tianci said slowly.
"letter?"
Zhang Tianci nodded: "Heaven and Earth are unkind and regard all things as rotten dogs. In this troubled world, the people are not as good as pigs and dogs. It is always better to believe in something in your heart than to believe in nothing."
"Even if what you believe in is false?" Cheng Dalei stared into his eyes.
"Even if what you believe in is false." Zhang Tianci said seriously: "People like Master Cheng can cut a way out with the sword in their hands. What do these ordinary people rely on? They can only believe that there is retribution in the world. In the sky,
There are gods above. In this way, life will be more or less easier."
Cheng Dalei thought about it carefully and realized that Zhang Tianci's words may not be unreasonable. He was suddenly shocked. The other party's level was obviously far behind him. No, he had to prove that the other party was unreasonable, even if it was a strong argument.
"I think this is wrong." Cheng Dalei said firmly: "Everyone should recognize the truth before they can make a choice. At any time, false beauty cannot be compared to the truth, even if the truth is ugly."
Zhang Tianci nodded, then shook his head: "Master Cheng is a great person, and I often hear about Master Cheng's reputation in Chang'an. Master Cheng doesn't care whether the truth is ugly or not, because Master Cheng can afford it. What is the truth of this world, then
Farmers have worked hard all their lives and cannot find a place to bury their bones before they die. Rich families have nothing to do and can still live and clothe themselves. Only a few people can break free from who they are when they are born and who they will be when they die.
Mr. Cheng, don’t you think this truth is too cruel for them?”
Cheng Dalei responded in silence, really having nothing to say. He had to face Zhang Tianci again. He didn't see his immortal spirit, but his vision was indeed extraordinary.
"Actually, I have always admired Master Cheng." Zhang Tianci suddenly said.
"Oh, what do you mean by this?"
"Xiaodao is definitely not trying to flatter Mr. Cheng, but he is just expressing his feelings. Don't be surprised." Zhang Tianci said: "Xiaodao has a certain understanding of what Mr. Cheng has done in the past. He can be a bandit and earn the title of king and prime minister.
, there are only a handful of them throughout the ages. A real man should be like Master Cheng, carrying a three-foot sword to do a great cause with great vigor."
Zhang Tianci's eyes were firm, and it didn't look like he was lying. Of course, he had no need to go out of his way to please Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei couldn't help but feel a little carried away, because he thought he was so highly regarded in the eyes of smart people.
In this way, I couldn't bear to make him my opponent.
Cheng Dalei thought about it and didn't know what to do, so he simply said it clearly.
"The name of Master Zhang is well known to me, otherwise I wouldn't have come to visit him as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. However, I heard something about Master Zhang in Chang'an, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Master Cheng, please tell me?"
"Ha, it's not a big deal. It's said that Man Tingfang once had an oiran who repeatedly rejected Zhang Tianshi's kindness and was finally driven crazy?"
Zhang Tianci frowned, with a look of confusion in his eyes. Cheng Dalei also had some doubts in his heart. Could it be that there was really a mistake? Zhang Tianci did not do the thing.
"Ha, I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this little thing."
"Oh, is it really true?"
Zhang Tianci nodded: "I don't think it's easy to use force. I just asked her to stay in the Jade Emperor for a few days. I patiently said a few mantras and Dharma to her. However, she was not blessed and could not understand the mantras.
.Whether she went crazy later, Xiaodao doesn’t know.”
Cheng Dalei narrowed his eyes: "I thought it was someone deliberately slandering it, but it turned out to be true?"
"Xiao Dao works openly and aboveboard, and it doesn't matter whether he is slandered or not. She is just a prostitute. I don't take it to heart. If it hadn't been brought up by Master Cheng today, I would have almost forgotten it. After all, a real man wants to do big things, so he has little love and little love.
It’s not worth mentioning.”
"That's it, that's it." Cheng Dalei nodded: "By the way, what day is tomorrow?"
"On August 15th, look at the sun, which will benefit the north and help you travel to Liang." Zhang Tianci said in confusion: "Why does Mr. Cheng have such a question?"
"Nothing, nothing." Cheng Dalei said slowly in his heart: "Tomorrow should be your death anniversary."
