Chapter 1000 Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger
Chapter 1000
Although it was a dark night, the lights on the four walls were brightly lit. Looking up at the sky full of stars, it felt like they could be touched at your fingertips.
"It's really a beautiful scene." Cheng Dalei sighed involuntarily.
Li Xingzai filled the wine cup and pushed it in front of Cheng Dalei, saying: "The empire has thirteen states, one hundred and eight cities, ninety thousand miles of rivers and mountains, vast sea desert in the northwest, boundless East China Sea, mountains and rivers in the north, water towns in the south, everything is included, everything is included.
Yes. The Kurong people have lived for more than a hundred years. In this troubled times, the mountains and rivers are broken again, and the people are in dire straits..."
At this point, Li Xingzai let out a long sigh and raised the wine cup: "Today, the country is finally back in my hands, Mr. Li. All your hard work has not been in vain. Come on, let me have a cup of wine in this troubled time."
Cheng Dalei drank all the wine in his glass and muttered in his heart: After all, this world still belongs to you, Mr. Li.
"You and I have worked hard on our own. Fortunately, there will be good days in the future. There is no need to mention the past."
Li Xingzai waved his hands. Apparently he didn't listen to what Cheng Dalei said, so he clapped his hands: "Come on, Cheng Dalei, I'll let you meet someone."
"Who is it?"
As the applause fell, a woman came up from downstairs. Cheng Dalei's eyes were involuntarily attracted to her.
This woman has long black hair and two eyes as black as charcoal. Although she looks pretty good, Cheng Dalei has also seen a master before, so this woman is just ordinary in his eyes.
Cheng Dalei was confused as to why Li Xingzai asked this woman to come up seriously.
"Rong woman?" Cheng Dalei frowned. Imperial women often had their hair tied up, while only Rong women had disheveled hair, so Cheng Dalei could tell at a glance.
"Good eyesight." Li Xingzai praised her and said, "Her name is Wulihan."
It can be regarded as an ordinary name. Cheng Dalei asked: "What is so extraordinary about her?"
Li Xingzai sighed and said: "There is something I don't know if you know. That Nohara Huo... actually you also know it?"
Cheng Dalei frowned.
Li Xingzai took a deep breath: "He is Fordler."
Cheng Dalei was taken aback. He suppressed his inner surprise and said, "I really can't believe it."
Li Xingzai said: "Back then, in a flood in Qingniu Mountain, you killed a hundred thousand elite members of the Rong tribe. But one man crawled out from among the dead. Later, he wandered around various places, and even became friends with you and me. No one could have imagined that this would happen.
He was actually the cause of this huge fire in troubled times. Cheng Dalei, look at how much trouble you have caused."
Cheng Dalei curled his lips and said: "If you want to blame me, I'm afraid I'll be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. I can't bear this crime. By the way, isn't Nohara Huo your brother who died? You can't deny it."
blame."
Li Xingzai choked and pointed at Wulihan: "The woman from Nohara Huo, she has been living in Weiyang Palace. I found her after the city was destroyed."
Cheng Dalei glanced at Wulihan again: "What are you going to do with her? Kill her?"
"You can't kill me! You two men can't bully me." Wulihan cried out.
Li Xingzai asked someone to take her down, and faced Cheng Dalei and shook his head: "The world is in chaos, what does it have to do with a woman? After all, it is the thoughts left by Nohara Huo, so it can be considered as showing some kindness to him."
Li Xingzai looked at Cheng Dalei: "Cheng Dalei, let me give her to you."
Cheng Dalei was startled and waved his hands quickly: "I don't dare to ask for it. You also know that I'm not good at this."
Li Xingzai looked at Cheng Dalei with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Cheng's family has been living a romantic life recently, with so many beauties around him, and he is having a great time."
Cheng Dalei smiled awkwardly: "It's just a rumor, it's just a rumor."
Li Xingzai looked at him meaningfully. Then he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's just a woman. She can be settled no matter what. Cheng Dalei, what do you think of the future situation?"
Cheng Dalei's heart moved. He knew that Li Xingzai had invited him here today. He didn't pretend to be the king of a country, and he didn't call himself me. It was obvious that he wanted to say some key words to him. Now after going around and around, he finally got to the point.
.
"The world is at peace, and the empire's 90,000-mile territory is in your hands."
Li Xingzai sighed, his voice weak: "I won this battle with hard work. Others don't understand how hard it was, but you know it. The country we built with so much hard work ended up in a mess."
"The Northland is secluded and has been emptied by the Rong tribe. It is thousands of miles away from people. Jiangnan and the East China Sea are the places where I started. Because of the continuous battles, life is very difficult now. In the land of Jingzhou, there are still kings of Shu who support their troops and respect themselves. What on earth are they?
I still can’t understand my attitude.”
Jingzhou and Yizhou border Liangzhou. Taking advantage of the dangerous terrain, they almost became a country of their own. Like Cheng Dalei, they did not get involved in this troubled times. Now they have strong soldiers and horses. If they choose not to recognize Li Xingzai, it will be a disastrous thing indeed.
A headache.
Li Xingzai drank a glass of wine and felt an unexplainable pain in his heart.
"Of course, this is not the most important thing." Li Xingzai said.
"What's important?"
Li Xingzai looked at Cheng Dalei, remained silent for a moment and said, "Cheng Dalei, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Me? I've been very free recently. I wander around the streets all day long, helping people repair houses and pave roads."
"Everyone is understanding, why do you hide it from me?"
Li Xingzai waved his hand and asked all the maids who were waiting on him to leave. After everyone had left, he looked at Cheng Dalei and said, "It seems that Liu Bei has led his troops back to Liangzhou."
Liu Bei had just left today, and Li Xingzai got the news in the evening, and his information was also very fast. Cheng Dalei smiled in his heart, and sure enough, when it came to this, he showed some edge.
"Liangzhou is empty and all the troops have been sent out. I am also afraid that the Rong tribe will seek revenge on me, so I let Liu Bei go back first. I am still staying in Chang'an City. If you have any need for me, just give me your orders."
"But Liu Bei leads an army of 100,000, and the Qin barbarians at Xizhao Pass also have 30,000 troops, guarding the gateway between the empire and the grassland. If they attack Chang'an directly, it will not take them three days to travel."
Li Xingzai stared at Cheng Dalei with eagerness.
Cheng Dalei shook his head, but didn't seem to feel the sharpness in Li Xingzai's eyes.
"So you sent Hua Mulan and Xu Wentian's troops to control the area outside Xizhao Pass. They should have been in place three days ago."
We are all sensible people, and there is no need to pretend to be ignorant. During this period, Li Xingzai was not idle, secretly mobilizing troops and horses just to guard against Cheng Dalei.
Although Cheng Dalei seemed to be doing nothing all day long, he was not ignorant of these things.
After a long while, Li Xingzai let out a long sigh and said, "Cheng Dalei, you are so bold. You dare to stay alone in Chang'an City. You are not afraid of five hundred swordsmen and axemen coming out at my command."
Cheng Dalei shrugged: "It's not that I underestimate you, at least no one in Chang'an City can kill me right now."
