From the first day he arrived in Luofeng City, Li Xingzai knew that it was not easy to get along here. He was surrounded by wolves. The key was that the piece of meat in the middle was not considered fat.
It's okay that Li Xingzai can't make a living, but if he does, someone will definitely take action against him.
Today, Li Xingzai has finally gained a foothold. The princes in the north, thanks to the Rong clan, are now defeated and can hardly pose a threat to Li Xingzai. However, Li Xingzai is powerful in the south of the Yangtze River and has always been Li Xingzai's confidant.
Now, the two families finally met. There was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us. In order to survive this disaster, Li Xingzai thought of all the ways he could think of. Even with all the troops on hand, they were not enough to fight.
Li Xingzai even sent someone to deliver a message to Cheng Dalei, sending two letters. One was a storyteller by Chu Yunsheng, which was an official article with high-sounding and righteous words. The other was written by Li Xingzai and started with a curse.
After hearing this from Cheng Dalei, he asked him to take the money back quickly to avoid harming Jiangnan.
The two letters ultimately have the same meaning, which is to borrow troops from Cheng Dalei to help the East China Sea.
Now, Cheng Dalei's reply has arrived. As a thief like Cheng Dalei, it is naturally impossible for him to travel thousands of miles to do such a thankless thing.
The words are extremely beautiful, but in the final analysis, they are just two words: Don’t borrow.
In response to this, Li Xingzai had no other choice but to be angry. Looking at himself and others, if he were placed in Cheng Dalei's position, Cheng Dalei might not lend him troops.
Thinking of the deadlock in front of him, Li Xingzai couldn't feel happy no matter what.
Song Youqu's trip to the south of the Yangtze River this time was not just to sow discord with Li Xing. He also had other things to do. One of them was to survey the geography and hydrology of the south of the Yangtze River to look for opportunities.
After reporting everything, Song Youqu said goodbye and left. During the war, everyone held multiple positions, and no one had a moment to spare.
Afterwards, Li Xingzai walked out of the tea room and came to a small house. He pushed the door open and was shocked by the scene inside.
I saw Chu Yunsheng sitting among the piles of books, writing and drawing on paper. He looked haggard and had disheveled hair. Even Li Xingzai didn't notice when he walked in.
Chu Yunsheng is good at planning and is the biggest think tank around Chu Yunsheng. This time against Jiangnan soldiers, Li Xingzai's greatest hope is placed on him.
However, due to the huge difference in strength between the two families, there was not much that Chu Yunsheng could do. He locked himself in the room and thought about it all day long, deducing ways to defeat the enemy.
After calculating again and again and starting over again, it is not easy to find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and he already looks like this. His black hair is already mixed with silver threads.
Li Xingzai felt a little sad and called out: "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu..."
After calling several times, the other party raised his head, his eyes were a little dull, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Li Xingzai sighed: "Mr. Chu, don't be like this. It's time to take a rest. Things are not urgent at this moment."
"The East China Sea is in danger. No matter what, we must protect this inheritance for Your Majesty."
Li Xingzai shook his head: "Your health is important. If you are injured, who will take care of me?"
With that said, he sent people in and carried Chu Yunsheng out, telling him to have a good rest in the past few days and take good care of himself.
But Chu Yunsheng was born to be a diligent person. Even if he was lying in bed with someone waiting on him, his mind would not be idle.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng like this, Li Xingzai felt a little heavy. He was plain yet somewhat heroic: In the East China Sea, everyone worked hard, why worry about Jiangnan not being broken?
Thinking about the matter in my mind, I strolled to where Wang Sun stood on the mountain.
Unlike Cheng Dalei, Li Xingzai has been known as a romantic since he was a child. Now he has Yuque and Wangsun Lishan by his side, but under such an urgent situation, he has been idle and has taken in a few more women intermittently.
After all, he is a master he has met before, he can take it and let it go. There are so many women around him, but few can really get into his heart. But everyone around him is devoted to him. It has to be said that everyone has different personalities.
, blessings are different.
Wang Sun Lishan also experienced ups and downs throughout his life, and finally settled down at Li Xingzai's place. Seeing his frown and sadness, one knew that he was unhappy.
He hurriedly welcomed him to the table, waved the serving maid out, poured a cup of tea with him personally, and sat next to him.
"Still there is no way?" Wang Sunlishan asked softly. She was not ignorant and knew that the situation in front of her was critical. She just didn't want to put more pressure on Li Xingzai, so she didn't ask many questions.
Li Xingzai put his hand on her leg and sighed: "If there was an easier way, it wouldn't be like this."
Wang Sun Lishan clenched his palm and said: "If we really can't hold on, we will retreat to the island and be independent from the world, no matter how the world is turned upside down and the dynasty changes."
Li Xingzai shook his head and smiled, with a touch of cruelty in his smile: "I am a descendant of the Li family. This world belongs to my Li family. I can die or be defeated, but I will not leave here."
Wang Sunlishan was startled, and became even more uneasy, and said: "I am also afraid that the burden on your shoulders is too heavy and your body will be exhausted. If you want to die here, I will accompany you."
Li Xingzai's heart felt warm, and the fatigue from the past few days had dissipated a bit. He thought about it and suddenly smiled: "What am I afraid of? I have never experienced any suffering in this world, and I have never met anyone. Today, there is only Li Xing."
, can it scare me? Let’s see whose hands the future world will fall into, and I won’t have a share.”
He is a master who has gone through great tribulations, including the destruction of his family and country.
To be able to get to where I am today is really not a bit of a fluke. It was all a step-by-step process, with a bloody head and a bloody head.
Because there are great tribulations, there is a great state of mind.
Li Xingzai was as worried as everyone else when heavy troops pressed into the territory this time, but after all, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart.
After a long sigh with Wang Sunlishan, Li Xingzai became more determined. Wangsun Lishan originally wanted to keep him here for the night, but he was troubled by everything, and Li Xingzai did not dare to indulge.
Staying alone in an empty room, I can only sigh.
Li Xingzai continued to do things as usual, rectifying the army's defenses and watching every move of the enemy, looking for opportunities.
On this day, Song Youqu came over in a hurry with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, good fortune, good fortune..."
Li Xingzai frowned and said, "What happened?"
"What great news, we have caught someone from Jiangnan."
"This is not good news. We have captured few prisoners and nothing useful."
"Your Majesty, this time is different. The other party has an important mission. He is going to the North to contact the princes of the North."
Li Xingzai was shocked: If the enemy had thought of this step, then things would be even worse.
"Your Majesty, once the enemy moves, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
