Lu Jiutang was stunned, and everyone including Boss Zhu stayed where they were, wondering if they had heard the wrong words.
The man in front of him was a ghost among ghosts, an evil among evil. Standing in front of him, he trembled subconsciously when he spoke. After entering Liangzhou, everyone understood in their hearts that they would definitely die this time. How did they end up in the end?
, Cheng Dalei just waved his hand casually and dismissed everyone by saying "Go back."
Lu Jiutang paused and said: "Your Majesty was also very sad. After seeing Mr. He's head, Your Majesty sighed for a long time and cried silently. Finally, he decided to send the murderer here together with Mr. He's head, and let Mr. Cheng
Disposal."
Cheng Dalei leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, waved his hands and said, "Go back."
Lu Jiutang was about to say something else, but Cheng Dalei had already issued an eviction order, and Liu Facai blocked all other words.
Everyone had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, Lu Jiutang looked back. He saw Cheng Dalei sitting behind the desk with his eyes closed and concentrating. The intimate letter from Li Xingzai resting on the desk remained motionless, and Cheng Dalei did not even read it.
It was a long time after everyone left that Cheng Dalei opened his eyes, bent his fingers, knocked on the wooden box on the table, and let out a long sigh.
"Why bother?"
"Master, how should we deal with this matter?"
Cheng Dalei paused and said, "Let's find a place to bury it. They say fallen leaves return to their roots. We are all rootless people. Liangzhou is everyone's home. By the way, ask Bai Yuanfei to go to Jiangnan to retrieve He's bones.
Give him a whole body."
"yes."
Liu Facai agreed, held the head in his hands and left, going down to handle the matter.
Although he stayed in the south of the Yangtze River and did not participate in this great change in the world, Cheng Dalei was not blind to what was happening outside the window. There were spies from Liangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, the East China Sea, and the north of the Yangtze River where Ye Yuanhuo ruled.
Major events in the world were constantly brought to Cheng Dalei, who classified them into categories, traced their origins, and explored the inner meaning behind their manifestations.
The news that Li Xingzai had conquered Jiangnan in the first battle had already reached Cheng Dalei's ears. Even the news of He's death was known to Cheng Dalei in advance.
Being caught in a trap means suffering a fate. There is no one who will not die in a war. The one who dies will be He, and one day it may not be Cheng Dalei. Regarding this matter, Cheng Dalei has nothing to say except that he has nothing to say.
explain.
In the north, Ye Yuanhuo had defeated all the princes and became the ruler of Jiangbei in name only.
One is looking north, and the other is still intent on killing. It seems that the north and the south will not divide and conquer. Sooner or later there will be a battle between the two.
At this time, Liangzhou's troops and horses were also secretly mobilizing, and the undercurrent was surging, ready to go.
Cheng Dalei walked out of the house and felt a strong gust of wind blowing in his face, bringing a slight chill.
Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it is the end of the year. Liangzhou has been sharpening this knife for a long time. After this winter, I am afraid that Cheng Dalei will not be able to escape this troubled world.
…
It is said that after Lu Jiutang and his party left Liangzhou, they returned to Jiangnan on a starry night without half a moonlight.
Song Youqu and others expressed disbelief that this group of people could come back alive. In everyone's hearts, they were regarded as dead people, and even their wives, children, and children had begun to prepare funeral arrangements for them.
Who would have thought that this group of people would return to Jiangnan alive? Could it be that they were unwilling to give up their grievances, and that the ghosts of the grievances came back to demand their lives...
Li Xingzai took time out of his busy schedule to meet this group of people.
"I heard that Boss Zhu didn't come back with you, so Cheng Dalei left him behind?" Li Xingzai said leisurely.
"This... please tell me, your Majesty, this... does not exist." Lu Jiutang replied.
"What!" Li Xingzai was startled. He was leaning on the back of the chair, but suddenly he sat up straight: "Where did Boss Zhu go?"
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates sent Mr. Zhu to Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei let us back without interrogating or pursuing the matter excessively. It was because of my incompetence that my reins were worn out by Mr. Zhu on the way, and in the night
Ran."
Li Xingzai frowned, his face became more and more ugly, he paused and said, "I gave him a personal letter. Did Cheng Dalei say anything in reply?"
Lu Jiutang shook his head: "No."
"This is unlikely."
"My subordinates saw with their own eyes that when His Majesty's letter was handed over to him, Cheng Dalei did not open it, at least he did not read it before his subordinates left."
"Don't even look at it."
Li Xingzai raised his chin with his hand, frowning and lost in thought.
Song Youqu, who was on the side, saw that his face was not very good, so he waved his hand and asked Lu Jiutang and others to get out quickly to avoid disaster in the fish pond.
After a long time, Li Xingzai finally raised his head and sighed softly.
Song Youqu took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, why are you unhappy if Cheng Dalei doesn't pursue this matter?"
"Hey, what do you know?" Li Xingzai sat up straight and said: "When two armies are fighting, life and death depend on God. Since we are in this situation, it is natural for him to kill me or for me to kill him. I understand this truth, Cheng Dalei
I understand in my heart."
"In this case, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much."
Li Xingzai shook his head: "This is the truth, but there are some things in the world that should be handled according to reason. People are not grass and trees, and no one can be ruthless. If Cheng Dalei keeps Boss Zhu this time and deals with him severely, it means that Cheng Dalei is full of anger.
I vented it all on Boss Zhu. Even if I’m wrong in my mind, it’s only a matter of one or two sentences that can clarify it.”
"But he didn't interrogate or ask questions, and let Boss Zhu off lightly. Obviously, he didn't record this debt on Boss Zhu, but on me." Li Xingzai raised his head and spread his hands: "I and Cheng Dalei
There is no friendship between us."
Things in this world are not afraid of confrontation with open swords and guns, and there is nothing that cannot be understood in a quarrel. But the relationship between people is most afraid of being hidden and tucked in. Even though we know that the relationship between the two parties is not what it used to be, we can only keep it secret and understand.
Pretend to be confused and the other party will stab you at any moment.
He abandoned Liangzhou and settled the accounts with Cheng Dalei before leaving. He didn't owe Liangzhou anything, and Liangzhou didn't owe him anything.
But after all, we have worked together for so many years, and Cheng Dalei is extremely narrow-minded. How can this account be settled?
In order to save He's life, Li Xingzai didn't know if he would end up losing his friendship with He.
Forget it, it's just a confusing account that can't be calculated. Now that the matter has been done, let's take it one step at a time and talk about it later.
Speaking of which, Cheng Dalei was so shameless that he didn't even read his own handwritten letter. It was really a lack of friendship.
Now that Jiangnan has been decided, there are many things to deal with, and Li Xingzai is also busy with everything.
For him, this matter was either big or small. Anyway, the matter was at this point, and Li Xingzai couldn't be too distracted by this matter.
