After Hong Lao left Crocodile Village, he immediately took a boat back to Yangzhou City. The two places were not far apart, and they traveled by water. It only took half a day to return to Yangzhou City.
In the south of the Yangtze River, Li Xing is recruiting troops recently, and there is nothing too important. Li Xing sent Hong to Crocodile Village and waited for the news from him. His family knew about his family affairs, and Li Xing knew that he did not have many men.
He is a useful person, so he still attaches great importance to peace.
After meeting Hong, Li Xing hurriedly asked about the meeting. After hearing what happened, Li Xing frowned and said, "If he really has no intention of going out, this matter will be troublesome."
Hong Liao smiled and said: "It's just an excuse to come out unintentionally. This matter has made a big fuss, and it must have been concocted by someone. After all, we still haven't agreed on a price."
"Being my minister in Jiangnan is the greatest sincerity I can show. Whatever he wants, after all, Cheng Dalei can give him whatever I can give him, and I can't give him more."
Hong thought for a while and said: "People like Ruhe are the most honorable. This time he came out of Liangzhou with a disgraced face. Although he didn't say why, he knew it was not a very glorious experience.
.With such a big thing going on this time, why don’t you try to show it to Cheng Dalei?"
"Since he wants glory, I can give him glory." Li Xing said: "Don't you just want me to invite him in person? I can go there in person. But what if I can't invite him? He is glory.
My face has dropped greatly..."
After all, Li Xing is now the king of a country. Although the world is uncertain, he does have the air of an emperor. He was pacing back and forth in the study, and this matter became difficult to handle. He can treat the virtuous corporal, but what if He will not give him face?
?It will damage his emperor’s dignity.
"Why don't we send troops to attack the Crocodile Village and snatch the people back first?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Hong Liao said sternly: "Even if you can snatch him away from someone like Ru He, I'm afraid he won't sincerely help you. Besides, if this matter spreads, who in the world would dare to seek refuge with him?"
Jiangnan?"
Li Xing was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "That makes sense. To be honest, I can't use force anymore."
"It is true that he cannot use force, but he must not be allowed to leave Jiangnan. People should be stationed at the pass near Crocodile Village. If he wants to leave Jiangnan, then..." Hong Liao made a waving downward gesture.
Li Xing nodded: "Go ahead and gather people and horses around the Crocodile Village. If you want to leave the Crocodile Village, do it immediately. In addition, it seems that I have to go to the Crocodile Village."
Li Xing doesn't care much about face if he can get help from He. This time he has planned to deal with Corporal He Lixian.
Of course, if He doesn't give him face, Li Xing may not give him face either.
He can do what a polite corporal does, but he may not have the ambition of a polite corporal.
…
Not long after Hong Liao left, He met a few more people and then said he was tired. No matter who wanted to see him again, he would not see them.
It has to be said that the grandeur he put on this time may not have been correct. He really wanted to give Cheng Dalei some credit.
After everyone had left, Guitoujiao came to He and said respectfully: "There have been a lot of people in the past two days. Even Jiangnan Li Xing has arrived. Does Mr. He have a plan in mind?"
He waved his hand and said, "Why rush? Just wait a little longer. The longer you wait, the higher the price will be."
"Yes, yes, everything is done according to the master's instructions. Whatever the master tells me to do, I will do it."
Now Guitoujiao is so convinced of He that even Li Xing came to invite him to come out. Li Xing can now sit in the north and south, which was a person he could not even think about before. If he can be on the spot under Li Xing's command
, how can it be compared to a small bandit.
But it seems that He is still not satisfied with Li Xing. So what is he pursuing... Sure enough, he did not make a wrong choice by following him.
Or it may be the best decision of your life.
Seeing that He was already showing some tiredness, Gui Tou Jiao immediately said goodbye and left. He did not dare to show any disrespect in his words.
The ghost-headed dragon walked back and walked with a man in the yard. He already had a plan in mind, but he couldn't say many things to the ghost-headed dragon.
He does not completely trust Guitoujiao, or he has never really trusted anyone. He has not made many friends in Toad Village for many years, and this may not be the reason.
Before leaving Liangzhou, he had already analyzed the general trend of the world with Cheng Dalei. There must be a battle between Jiangnan and the North to determine the ownership of the world. The key is who will represent the empire in a decisive battle with Nohara Huo.
Jiangnan Li Xing and Donghai Li Xingzai are currently the two most powerful people in Jiangnan. From the bottom of his heart, it is difficult for He to have any favorable impression of Li Xing, but he is more optimistic about Li Xingzai.
Although Li Xing currently has a strong army, he will eventually choose someone. At least so far, Li Xing has not shown any courage to fight for world hegemony.
But the news has spread for many days, and no one from Li Xingzai has appeared yet. He is inevitably a little uneasy in his heart. If Li Xingzai doesn't send someone, it will not end well for him.
To a certain extent, Cheng Dalei and Li Xingzai are similar. Both of them like to play cards that are not conventional. Could it be that Li Xingzai is concerned about his friendship with Cheng Dalei and does not want to poach the other's corners.
When thinking about this section, He was even more worried. According to Li Xingzai's style of doing things, this is entirely possible.
The reality was of course different from what He thought. Li Xingzai didn't think he could exploit Cheng Dalei. Donghai was far away from Crocodile Village. When the news reached Donghai, Li Xingzai was moved. He thought about sending someone to invite He over.
However, he is still a little worried. Crocodile Village is located on Li Xing's territory. If he dares to show up on the other side's territory, Li Xing will kill him at all costs.
Besides, Li Xingzai knew Cheng Dalei's character well. He knew that this man was shameless and cunning, and could come up with any despicable ideas.
He left Yangzhou for no reason and appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. Who knows if it might be another bad idea created by Cheng Dalei. If He is allowed to join a certain prince to act as a traitor, it is estimated that it will not take long to destroy the other party's territory.
I just don’t know who Cheng Dalei plans to deal with this time. Is it him or Li Xing? If he wants to deal with Li Xing, he will be asking for trouble if he rushes forward on his own.
After much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out the context of this matter. But Li Xingzai was really unwilling to let He go like this.
Finally, he asked Chu Yunsheng to visit Jiangnan Crocodile Village, with Xu Wentian accompanying him for protection, to test He's tone.
If it is really Cheng Dalei who sent him to cause harm to people, don't hide it.
