Liu Facai didn't necessarily want to be in the limelight, but he watched carefully. No matter who Chen Meng or Ma Mengqi defeated, with their youthful temperament, they would definitely challenge him in one go.
After avoiding the war one after another, there is no way to avoid it. In order not to be embarrassed, Liu Facai must end this matter in time.
He spoke loudly on the stage, and everyone listened carefully. But as for what he said - no one believed a word of it.
It is nonsense to talk about serving the country and the people. You, Cheng Dalei, have nothing to do with the empire becoming what it is now.
However, the two broken guns on the ground were not fake, and his words reminded everyone of one thing.
The empire is now in chaos, but the greatest enemy of the empire is still the Rong tribe who are eyeing the border.
Everyone can't help but think, if one day the Rong soldiers move south, how will the empire respond today? Is what everyone is fighting for today meaningful?
It was like a basin of cold water was poured on everyone, and everyone suddenly felt a little discouraged.
"Okay." Li Letian praised and said: "You still need to think carefully about what the King of Liangzhou said today. There are always some reasons why the King of Liangzhou became the King of Liangzhou today. The empire of tomorrow still relies on you.
Waiting for the young hero."
Li Letian may not believe what Cheng Dalei said. However, he had to give Cheng Dalei face. Since the other party had already said it with certainty, he could only grit his teeth and support Cheng Dalei.
After today, the reputations of Ma Mengqi and Chen Meng will spread, but what everyone will really remember is Cheng Dalei who folded the gun twice.
People will not tell whether Cheng Dalei is acting or not due to rumors. Ma Mengqi and Chen Meng earned their reputations hard, but to people who don't know, they think it was given to them by Cheng Dalei.
So Li Letian flattered Cheng Dalei on the surface, but in his heart he was already grinding his teeth.
After the King Ceremony, there was supposed to be a dinner party. Li Letian specially said to Cheng Dalei: "Cheng Aiqing must be here tonight. I still have many things to say to Aiqing."
Liu Facai hurriedly agreed, but as soon as the king-conferring ceremony ended, he and Xu Shenji hurriedly left. Li Xingzai originally wanted to stop the two of them to ask what happened, but in the blink of an eye they disappeared.
After returning to the mansion, the two changed their clothes, hitched the carriage, and left quietly with Cui Baiyu and Qiao Nongyun.
Li Xingzai felt a little unhappy, wondering what Cheng Dalei was doing. So after the ceremony, he did not return home immediately, but took Xu Wentian to Cheng Dalei's residence.
Xu Wentian still had a wizened look on his face along the way. It seemed that he still couldn't let go of losing to Ma Mengqi.
"Okay." Li Xingzai curled his lips on the horse: "Being defeated at the hands of the imperial general is not an insult to you. Don't you want fame? After today, no one in the world will recognize Xu Wentian. And true fame,
It always has to be earned with a knife and a gun."
Xu Wentian was holding the horse, a little dejected, and was suddenly stunned when he heard these words.
Reputation is a good thing, but it is still not as good as the things he has done. Without those things, Cheng Dalei would not be the Cheng Dalei he is today. But for Xu Wentian, Ma Mengqi, and Chen Meng, no matter how capable they are
, for the entire empire, they still have not accomplished anything.
There is still a long way to go, and I have only just begun the journey.
When Li Xingzai arrived at Cheng Dalei's residence, he found that the room was already empty. Only the maids and servants in the mansion were tied up with strong hemp ropes and gagged with cotton cloth.
Cheng Dalei and his party have long since disappeared.
Li Xingzai shook his head, with a wry smile on his face: He didn't even say hello, it was a bit unethical.
…
The rain never stopped. The drizzle on the long street formed a river and flowed into the distance along the slits.
When we reached the end of the long street, there was a grassy slope where a new tomb had just been erected. The bricks were paved with fine joints, white flags were hung in front of the tomb, and a tombstone was erected.
But what is strange is that there is not a single word on the monument.
Cheng Dalei held a black umbrella and looked at the tombstone soaked by the rain, speechless for a long time.
The three medicine sellers stood aside and said: "Master, I don't dare to make mistakes without your instructions. What words are you planning to engrave on this tablet?"
Cheng Dalei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "That's all, just stand like this. There is no need to engrave any words."
Pi San frowned. A new grave had just been erected, so there was no reason not to engrave it.
A carriage came far along the long street, and Liu Facai jumped out of the carriage.
"Master, everything is done."
"gone."
Cheng Dalei took another look at the new tomb, stepped onto the black bull, and saw several people riding horses and cars, and soon they disappeared into the rain.
Pi San stood there wearing a raincoat, looking at the backs of several people, scratching his head, confusion written on his face.
Several people changed their clothes and walked all the way to the west gate of Chang'an City.
Several soldiers in front of the city gate were searching the passers-by. They turned a blind eye to Cheng Dalei's eye-catching black cow. It was as if they were the kind of poor people who couldn't get even a little bit of money despite their best efforts.
When leaving the city, Cheng Dalei took a look at the city tower. There was a pair of eyes on the city tower looking at him with an indifferent expression. However, they stared at Cheng Dalei's back.
"Brother Lu, why don't we stop them and let them leave like this?" asked a general beside him.
Lu Junyi shook his head: "Master Hou is dead, more or less, we should leave a way out for our living brothers. Chang'an in the future may not be able to accommodate our brothers."
When he raised his head again, Cheng Dalei's figure had disappeared. They disappeared into the vast rain curtain, as if leaving nothing behind in Chang'an City.
Jade Emperor View.
A little boy sneaked into the Taoist temple, holding a fishing rod and basket in his hand, hoping to take advantage of the light rain to catch a few small fish in the mountain stream.
The master was very strict and rarely gave him time to have fun. But with his young mind, he could always save some time even if he didn't have time.
He hummed a little tune all the way, looking carefree.
When he walked to the mountain gate again, he suddenly froze. His face became extremely pale, his mouth opened wide, but no sound came out.
On the mountain gate archway, the Heavenly Master whom he admired was hanging by his hair. His whole body was stripped clean and naked, and what was even more horrifying was that his lower body was smashed to pieces by stones.
During his lifetime, Zhang Tianci was a decent man, handsome, handsome and handsome. Many ladies in Chang'an City secretly admired this Taoist little heavenly master and would rather recommend themselves to him.
However, when he died, it was extremely unseemly.
Later, after this incident spread, everyone speculated about how Zhang Tianshi died, but they could not guess the reason. However, some people in the world murmured secretly: I am afraid that someone is taking revenge.
Who wants Master Zhang to die?
Everyone couldn't figure it out at all, but they only knew that on that day, a little heavenly master died in the Jade Emperor Temple, a new tomb was built on Xiangyang Slope, and several people left through the city gate.
More or less, there is still something left behind.
