Cheng Dalei has the power to threaten Li Xingzai's existence, which is why Li Xingzai is so afraid.
If Cheng Dalei was really weak, Li Xingzai wouldn't have to take him seriously. Both sides could also remove their shackles.
At present, both sides are riding a tiger, and it seems that some people are in control of the situation. It is impossible for Li Xingzai not to guard against Cheng Dalei, and Cheng Dalei also has to deal with it.
But Li Xingzai was not an ordinary person after all. Instead of covering the lice with silk and satin, he invited Cheng Dalei here, stretched out his hand to uncover the silk, and spread the matter out.
He leaned forward slightly and looked at Cheng Dalei sincerely: "To be honest, I have a lot of courage on my shoulders, but some small troubles are nothing. The two places of Jing and Yi have their own troops, but they did not dare to send troops when the world was in chaos.
, I still don’t dare to do it now. I can take care of the Rong people, and I can also take care of them. Cheng Dalei, you are the only one that really scares me. There are only you and me here today, under the dome, nine feet above, you
Every word I say can reach the gods. Cheng Dalei, tell me what you want."
Li Xingzai was so sincere, which surprised Cheng Dalei. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Now we are only five steps apart. Cheng Dalei, with your ability, there is no one who cannot be killed within five steps. My life is here today. You can take it away if you want."
Cheng Dalei's heart was agitated. Li Xingzai's words reminded him that if he really killed him, he might not be able to stabilize the situation with the men and horses in Toad Village.
Quickly suppressing the impulse, Cheng Dalei clasped his fists and said, "It's a joke."
Li Xingzai smiled and said: "Having a sharp weapon in your heart and having a murderous intention are all things you can't do. Cheng Dalei, do you dare to say that you are not tempted?"
Cheng Dalei couldn't answer this, he couldn't admit it, but he couldn't deny it either.
"Liangzhou's 100,000 troops are your sword. I can't feel at ease with this sword in my hand."
Cheng Dalei also had to confess his feelings: "I can't feel at ease even if I put the knife in your hands."
Li Xingzai laughed: "I'm not that greedy. I know you can't do this. To put it bluntly, I will set aside the land of Liangzhou and you will make yourself the king. You will not pay for food or follow the law. You will be your mountain king and I will do the same.
My king of a country."
Li Wan'er had already told Cheng Dalei about this, and Cheng Dalei knew Li Xingzai's trump card in advance. However, Li Xingzai's ability to speak out frankly surprised Cheng Dalei.
"Are you so generous?" Cheng Dalei asked.
Li Xingzai smiled: "Cheng Dalei, I am not you. I am the king of a country. I am rich and powerful. Of course, I have a small condition."
"I knew you had the conditions." Cheng Dalei nodded: "What do you want me to do?"
"I gave you a state, and you helped me take care of the affairs of Jingzhou and Yizhou. To be honest, I have nothing to do now."
Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said: "There shouldn't be any difficulty. I will go back to Liangzhou immediately and mobilize my troops. If they don't obey, I will beat them until they obey."
"Be calm and don't be impatient." Li Xingzai waved his hand: "Just let your men handle these things. You have to stay in Chang'an City for a few more days."
"What else?"
"I plan to inform the princes of the world and ask them to come to Chang'an City for a while and see what they think of me. Those wolves and tigers, Cheng Dalei, you have to stay here to help me suppress the situation."
Li Xingzai's words made sense, and Cheng Dalei nodded in agreement.
Li Xingzai picked up the wine cup in front of him and said: "Cheng Dalei, let me toast you one more glass. This is the last glass of wine between you and me as brothers. In the future, we may not be able to control the distinction between monarch and minister. This matter has been decided in advance.
Let the future generations worry about the matters of future generations.”
Cheng Dalei picked up the wine cup and both of them drank it down in one gulp.
…
Cheng Dalei walked out of the palace alone, still thinking about the conversation just now. Li Xingzai came to the point unbelievably, and in any case, the matter was settled.
Li Xingzai may not have any other options. The world has been settled, and everything is waiting to be done. Neither he nor Cheng Dalei want to provoke another war.
Such an arrangement may not be a choice. Cheng Dalei can be his own local emperor, and Li Xingzai can be his king. The two sides are not in conflict with each other, but they can also help each other.
Cheng Dalei carefully recalled the conversation with Li Xingzai, wondering if there was any trap hidden in his words. Accompanying a gentleman is like accompanying a tiger, so Cheng Dalei had to be more cautious.
"The great master, the great master..."
Unknowingly, Cheng Dalei had already walked out of the palace gate. Xu Shenji, Liu Facai, and Yinmu came over immediately.
This made Cheng Dalei come back to his senses: "Have you been waiting here?"
Xu Shenji said: "We are afraid that something will happen to the master. If the master doesn't come out, we will rush in."
Cheng Dalei felt warm in his heart and patted Xu Shenji on the shoulder: "Let's go, nothing will happen."
Before leaving, Cheng Dalei subconsciously looked back at Weiyang Palace. At this moment, he realized one thing. Behind him was the highest power center of the empire. And now his words and deeds could affect the future direction of the empire.
This gave Cheng Dalei an unreal feeling. After walking out of Qingniu Mountain, he had reached today without even realizing it.
It's extremely cold at high places.
The four of them quickly returned to the mansion. Cheng Dalei had just returned home. Before he could take a breath and tell Xu Shenji what happened today, Diao Chan from the mansion came over to report.
"Just now a person was sent from the palace to be handed over to the head master."
"Who is that?" Cheng Dalei asked, subconsciously guessing something.
As Cheng Dalei expected, Li Xingzai sent Wulihan to his house. At this moment, she was tied to a chair and stared at Cheng Dalei angrily.
"What are you tying her up for?"
"If you don't help her, she will bite someone." Diao Chan was still frightened when she said this, obviously she had seen how powerful this woman was.
Cheng Dalei sighed and stepped forward to cut the rope. As soon as he was freed, Wulihan wanted to jump up and shout.
Cheng Dalei put a hand on her shoulder, pushed her back into the chair, and stared at her.
Wulihan was frightened and immediately became more honest. After all, even if she knew nothing about it, she still heard of Cheng Dalei's bad reputation. If she wanted to cut off her own flesh and drink it, there was nothing she could do.
"You can't eat me?"
Cheng Dalei was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously smiled bitterly and said, "What do you want to do in the future?"
"What do you want to do?"
Wulihan frowned. For the first time in her life, someone asked her what she wanted to do. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Perhaps, for the first time, she realized that she was also qualified to think.
