If Cheng Dalei and Li Xingzai join forces, the world will be easy to gain. Both Cheng Dalei and Li Xingzai have this confidence.
But how to divide the spoils later is a problem. Cheng Dalei doesn't belong to Toad Village alone, there are many men, women, and children. Everyone has worked hard for so many years, and you can't just give it up with just a word.
Seeing that Song Youqu's words were unclear and untrue, he must have hidden agendas and wanted to trick Cheng Dalei at some point.
Cheng Dalei is a fox that has been turned into a spirit for thousands of years. He can pull out his eyelashes and act like a whistle. How could he be fooled by Song Youqu's few words?
He suddenly coughed, which startled Song Youqu. He quickly held his breath and calmed down, listening attentively to Cheng Dalei's words.
"Youqu, is your Geng your age this year?"
Song Youqu didn't know why Cheng Dalei suddenly asked this, but he still said: "I have wasted my time for twenty-seven years."
"Humble." Cheng Dalei said: "You are so young and have become one of the leading figures in the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder how many people in the world can achieve that. If you are young and promising, your achievements in the future will be limitless."
"Your Majesty, thank you."
Song Youqu humbly held his hand, suppressing the excitement in his heart. Everyone likes flattery, let alone Cheng Dalei who said this. Cheng Dalei's words are not bad. If one day Li Xingzai ascends the throne, the position of prime minister will definitely fall to Song Youqu.
In his hands. At his age, he can indeed be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
However, he still didn't understand Cheng Dalei's temper. With Cheng Dalei's temper, Cheng Dalei would supply unlimited supplies of anything free of charge. Occasionally when he saw a beggar at the door, Cheng Dalei would give a thumbs up and say: There is no limit to what you can achieve in the future.
"When will Jiangnan launch troops?"
Cheng Dalei's topic suddenly changed, leaving Song Youqu stunned and unable to react for a moment.
He hurriedly calmed down and reminded himself of the serious business this time. Cheng Dalei was a very cunning person. He fell into his trap with just a few words. He must not take it lightly.
"As soon as the remnants of the Rong clan are leveled, the lord will definitely use his troops. When the time comes, the prince will be in the northwest to respond. If the two of them join forces, the world can be leveled."
"That's it." Cheng Dalei nodded calmly without much reaction.
Song Youqu was secretly anxious. He came with a mission this time. The first was to find out whether Cheng Dalei was willing to cooperate, and the second was to find out the conditions for cooperation.
Now the first point can be confirmed, Cheng Dalei did not act too greedy, and he would not be able to wipe out Beidi just by relying on Cheng Dalei and his family.
The key is the second point, what price is Cheng Dalei going to offer?
Cheng Dalei sat on a chair and chatted with Song Youqu, talking randomly every sentence. It seemed like chatting, but an occasional sentence came out, but it hit the vital point of Jiangnan Army.
Before Cheng Dalei didn't speak first, Song Youqu didn't want to show his trump card. But in this situation, if he didn't change the conversation to the main topic, he was afraid that Cheng Dalei would drag it on forever.
Taking a deep breath, Song You channeled: "Your Majesty, what do you think of the future?"
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"The situation of the Rong tribe is over, and they will be driven out sooner or later. People in the world are determined. When the Rong tribe is driven away, my lord is willing to sit down and talk to the prince. I just don't know what the prince is thinking."
"Li Xingzai, Li Xingzai." Cheng Dalei muttered twice, then smiled and said: "Your family's chief executive and I are poor and humble friends. We met before we met, and we have a fateful friendship. We are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other.
.”
Song Youqu breathed a sigh of relief. With Cheng Dalei's words, this mission was completed.
"My master also often mentioned the prince. If there was anyone he truly admired at that time, it was the prince."
"But..." Cheng Dalei changed the topic: "This world is not Li Xingzai."
Song Youqu's heart was filled with worry again. Sure enough, who would give up the supreme power in front of him?
"But it doesn't belong to someone like me, Cheng." Cheng Dalei said leisurely: "The world is uncertain now, and it's really too early to talk about these things. Go back and tell Li Xingzai that when he launches his army in the Central Plains, I will have elite troops to help. Now, first of all,
Don’t think about the things that are available and not available.”
Song Youqu was startled, raised his head and bowed his hands to Cheng Dalei: "I will definitely report back truthfully."
Song Youqu said goodbye and left, while Cheng Dalei sat alone in the hall and thought.
It wasn't that Cheng Dalei didn't want to give Song Youqu the right answer, but that he really had no idea in his heart. This was a one-day plan that would determine a century-old event, and Cheng Dalei didn't dare to make up his mind easily.
Not long after Song Youqu left, Liu Bei hurried over, followed by Cui Baiyu, Xu Shenji... Anyone in Runan City who could talk to Cheng Dalei gathered together as soon as possible.
Everyone gathered in a group with Cheng Dalei as the center, and everyone looked excited, like aunties rushing to buy cheap vegetables at the wet market.
Liu Bei was the first to ask: "Master, what do you want to say to us when Jiangnan sends someone here?"
"Oh, you ask that." Cheng Dalei smiled and said, "How else could it be possible? Li Xingzai misses me. It's been a long time since we last seen each other. So he sent someone here to ask."
A group of people looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the hall was silent and awkward.
After a while, it was Xu Shenji who broke the silence: "Master, please don't hide it from us. Li Xingzai sent people here this time just to divide the territory. Whatever the master has in mind, let us talk about it and discuss it together."
Everyone arrived almost at the same time and learned that Jiangnan had sent people over. Everyone was not a fool. In such a situation, everyone naturally understood what Li Xingzai's purpose was.
He hurried over in a hurry just to ask Cheng Dalei what he was thinking.
Toad Village is definitely not the Toad Village created by Cheng Dalei alone. People such as Liu Bei and Xu Shenji all worked hard with him from poverty. Until today, it has been a thorny journey.
It's not easy to get through to the current situation. If you advance, you will be granted the title of king and prime minister, and if you retreat, you will be granted the title of wife and shadow son. No one among us is willing to give in.
This is what makes Cheng Dalei embarrassed. He can give up the foundation he has worked so hard for. But as for the brothers who followed him in the rebellion, even if Cheng Dalei agrees, they will not agree.
Cheng Dalei cleared his throat and said, "Is it time to divide the territory now? There are still strong Rong troops in the north of the Yangtze River, and Li Xingzai may not be able to deal with the matter in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it too early to talk about this now?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Cui Baiyu spoke: "Sooner or later, the day will come. The Rong people are no longer in danger. What we should really think about now is the future. Whether it is war or peace, you must let us know your thoughts.
.”
Cheng Dalei sighed helplessly, approaching the palace step by step, and he could not delay it any longer.
"This troubled world has been going on for a long time. In my mind, I no longer want to fight anymore."
