Chapter 1013: The King's Heart is as Deep as the Sea
Chapter 1019
The two nominally discussed Cheng Dalei's title, but actually talked about Cheng Dalei's life and death.
In the face of Song Youqu's proposal, Li Xingzai did not give an affirmative answer, so his attitude was already indicated.
Song Youqu's eyes dimmed, and he said goodbye and left.
Li Xingya kept watching his back leave, but when his back disappeared, the smile on Li Xingya's face suddenly disappeared, and his hand slapped heavily on the bookcase, shaking the inkstone to the ground.
He intersected with Song Youqu and Weimo, and the two sides did not mix well at that time. has supported all the way to today, and Song Youqu has contributed a lot to it. And Li Xingzai thinks that he is worthy of Song Youqu.
But Li Xingzai didn't expect that Song Youqu would say such a thing today. In his heart, there is still a part of it that is biased towards Cheng Dalei.
really knows people and faces, but doesn't know their hearts, Cheng Dalei's hand is too long!
It's no wonder that Li Xingzai was angry, he really didn't expect that within ten steps of himself, there were still people who fell in love with Cheng Dalei. Song Youqu is one of them, could there be others?
Li Xingya raised his head, his eyes full of coldness. On the side of his couch, within ten steps, how many people are towards Cheng Dalei?
He made a holy decree and announced that Qi Jiguang would enter the palace. Qi Jiguang was also busy with the affairs of the princes entering Beijing, and after receiving the holy decree, after putting down the matter at hand, he hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.
"Where is Cheng Dalei?" asked Li Xingzai in the first sentence of the meeting.
"This ......" Qi Jiguang had a difficult face.
Li Xingzai frowned: "You shouldn't say you don't know, right?"
"This ...... The subordinates did not dare. Qi Jiguang said: "Not long ago, the minister got the news that Cheng Dalei had passed Langya City and was now rushing to Youzhou. ”
"How long ago was it?"
"Half a month ago. ”
Qi Jiguang said embarrassedly, it's no wonder Qi Jiguang, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and the news is inconvenient. When Qi Jiguang got the news, Cheng Dalei had already left with a swagger.
Li Xingzai gave him a blank look, and he also knew his difficulties in his heart. After all, the enemy he faced this time was Cheng Dalei, and it was natural that he would be restricted everywhere.
"What was the situation when Cheng Dalei passed through Langya City?"
"This ......" Qi Jiguang sorted out his thoughts and said: "The matter of Jiujiang City has spread, and the city lord of Langya dares to offend him. I can't wait to greet him ten miles away from the city, Cheng Dalei is in the name of His Majesty in the city, and he will leave after being happy for a while. ”
Li Xingzai faintly had a headache, regretting that he shouldn't have given Cheng Dalei a holy decree, and now he is swaggering and deceiving in his own name.
On the one hand, Yulongwei racked his brains and wanted him to die, but the city lords everywhere flattered Cheng Dalei in every way, for fear of offending this thief.
"Your Majesty, why don't you spread the word to all parts of the country and besiege Cheng Dalei with a large army?" Qi Jiguang said.
Li Xingya raised his head: "Do you think you can do this?"
Qi Jiguang also knew that he was speechless, and shook his head helplessly.
This kind of thing must be in secret, and there will be no light at all, it is best to cause some accident and make Cheng Dalei disappear as a matter of course.
Li Xingya thought for a while and said, "What have you been busy with lately?"
Qi Jiguang said: "The minister is arranging the residences of the princes in Beijing and their safety and security work. ”
"It's good to leave it to someone else. Li Xingzai said: "Why don't you go to Youzhou and personally command this operation." ”
Qi Jiguang was taken aback, it was not that he was unwilling to leave the prosperous Chang'an and go to the bitter cold Youzhou to carry out a mission. He was just surprised by Li Xingya's decision.
Sending himself out of Beijing expressed Li Xingya's determination. He went from wavering to suddenly becoming so determined.
After a while, Qi Jiguang regained his composure, clasped his fists with both hands at Li Xingzai, and bowed to the ground.
The subordinates immediately set about it. ”
Qi Jiguang said goodbye and left, and after returning to Fuzhong, he changed into civilian clothes, only took a few die-hard subordinates with him, rode out of Beijing on a fast horse, and hurried to Youzhou non-stop.
Li Xingya sighed lightly, patted the armrest lightly, and left the dragon chair.
The body is unprecedentedly heavy, Li Xingya has experienced many things in his life, immersed in the prosperous world, and rolled in the mud pit. But even so, today's exhaustion is still the first experience.
He looked back at the chair and sighed helplessly.
This chair is not that easy to sit on.
"Cheng Dalei, don't blame me, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. ”
He snorted softly and left the hall gloomily.
......
At this moment, Cheng Dalei has passed through Xuzhou and Qingzhou, entered the territory of Youzhou, and came to Youzhou Deciduous City.
The further north you go, the more barren you see, and compared with the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is completely two worlds.
Unlike Jiangnan, the Northland is often harassed by the Rong people. After the first great war, Youzhou became a barren land a long time ago. Although the empire said that there were thirteen states and eight cities, the land of seclusion was already a terra nullius, and the empire had lost its rule over it.
When the Rong soldiers came to kill, the people fled to death, and a number of people were killed and wounded under the knives of the Rong people, and some people fled to the south with their families and mouths, and one was frozen to death and starved to death on the road, and some people hid in the deep mountains and old forests, living a life like savages.
When the war was over, these people dared to come out, plough the land, and graze cattle and sheep.
The Rong tribe once broke the Fallen Leaf City and caused misery to the people. Now Li Xingzai is also beyond the reach of the whip, and has not yet sent someone to take over here. Therefore, Fallen Leaf City has become a three-way zone, where many traitors and lawless people gather.
Cheng Dalei and his entourage entered the gate of Fallen Leaf City at dusk, looking at the scene in front of them, Cheng Dalei sighed a lot in his heart.
When I first stepped into Fallen Leaf City, it took a lot of setbacks. It's just that there were a lot of things that were overstretched at the beginning, and it was said that his first pot of gold was obtained here.
It's really a vicissitudes of life, and things are wrong.
From the first step he stepped into the city, he was already targeted. The so-called wealth is not exposed, Cheng Dalei and his party of seven are all dressed in brocade clothes, and there are beauties like Diao Chan Cui Baiyu as companions.
And the inhabitants of the city were all ragged and vicious-looking. They carried short knives and maces, and before they could get close, they could smell the foul stench.
and the smell of blood that dries up on the body.
Where there is no royal law, strength is the only rule. The people who live in Fallen Leaf City are either slaves who have lost their value as human beings, or beasts who have stepped on other people's bones.
When Li Xingzai and his entourage stepped here, they fell into the jackal's den like a white and tender little white sheep.
Immediately, someone quietly surrounded him, holding weapons in his hands, and quietly approached Cheng Dalei and his group.
Where there are no rules, the rules of the beast are followed. Two beasts meet in a narrow way, each wanting to devour the other's flesh, but they don't always say hello.
