It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 1019

The two nominally discussed Cheng Dalei's title, but in fact they were talking about Cheng Dalei's life and death.

In the face of Song Youqu's proposal, Li Xingzai did not give a positive answer, which has already shown his attitude.

Song Youqu's eyes dimmed, and he left.

Li Xingzai kept watching his back go away, but when his back disappeared, the smile on Li Xingzai's face suddenly disappeared, and he slapped his hand on the desk, shaking the inkstone to the ground.

He and Song Youqu intersected with Wei Mo, and the two sides were not getting along well at that time. Supporting him all the way to today, Song Youqu contributed a lot in it. And Li Xingzai considered himself worthy of Song Youqu.

But Li Xingzai did not expect that Song Youqu would say such a thing today. In the bottom of his heart, there is a part that is biased towards Cheng Dalei.

Cheng Dalei's hand stretched out too long!

No wonder 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, will there be others?

Li Xingzai raised his head, his eyes full of chills. On the side of the couch, within ten steps, how many people actually turned to Cheng Dalei?

With an imperial decree, he declared Qi Jiguang to enter the palace. Qi Jiguang was also busy with the feudal lords entering the capital. After receiving the imperial decree, he put down the matter at hand and hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.

Where is Cheng Dalei? Li Xingzai asked in the first sentence of the meeting.

This... Qi Jiguang's face was troubled.

Li Xingzai frowned: You shouldn't say you don't know?

This... subordinates dare not. Qi Jiguang said: Not long ago, the minister received news that Cheng Dalei has passed Langya City and is now rushing to Youzhou.

How long ago was it?

A half month ago.

Qi Jiguang said embarrassedly, no wonder Qi Jiguang, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. When Qi Jiguang got the news, Cheng Dalei had swaggered away.

Li Xingzai rolled his eyes at him, and knew his difficulties in his heart. After all, the enemy facing this time is Cheng Dalei, and it is natural to be restricted everywhere.

What happened when Cheng Dalei passed through Langya City?

This... Qi Jiguang sorted out his thoughts and said: The news of Jiujiang City has spread, and the city lord of Langya dared to offend him. I wish he would set up a car to greet him ten miles away from the city, and Cheng Dalei made a pretence in the city in the name of His Majesty. Fu, you will be happy for a while before you leave.

Li Xingzai felt a bit of a headache, and regretted that he should give Cheng Dalei an imperial edict. Now he is swindling in his own name.

On the one hand, Yulongwei racked his brains to make him die, but the city lords from various places flattered Cheng Dalei in every possible way, for fear of offending the thief.

Your Majesty, why don't you spread the word to various places and surround Cheng Dalei with a large army? Qi Jiguang said.

Li Xingzai raised his head: Do you think you can do this?

Qi Jiguang also knew that he had lost his words, and shook his head helplessly.

This kind of thing must be done in the dark, and there is no light at all. It is best to have an accident and let Cheng Dalei disappear for granted.

Li Xingzai thought for a while and said, What have you been busy with recently?

Qi Jiguang said: My minister is arranging the residences of the princes in Beijing and their security work.

It's fine to leave these things to others. Li Xingzai said, Why don't you go to Youzhou and direct the operation yourself.

Qi Jiguang was shocked, but it was not that he was unwilling to leave the prosperous Chang'an and go to the Bitter Cold You State to perform his mission. He was just surprised by Li Xingzai's decision.

Sending himself out of Beijing showed Li Xingzai's determination. How could he suddenly become so determined.

After a while, Qi Jiguang regained his composure, clasped his fists at Li Xingzai, and bowed to the ground.

My subordinates will do it immediately.

Qi Jiguang said goodbye and left. After returning to the mansion, he changed into plain clothes. He only brought a few die-hard men with him. He rode out of Beijing on a fast horse and rushed to Youzhou non-stop.

Li Xingzai sighed lightly, patted the armrest lightly, and left the dragon chair.

The body is unprecedentedly heavy. Li Xingzai has experienced many things in his life, immersed in the prosperous world, and has also rolled in the mud pit. But even so, today's fatigue is still the first experience.

He turned to look at the chair and sighed helplessly.

This chair is not so comfortable to sit on.

Cheng Dalei, don't blame me, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

He let out a soft snort and left the hall sadly.

...

At this moment, Cheng Dalei had already passed Xuzhou and Qingzhou, entered the territory of Youzhou, and came to the Fallen Leaf City of Youzhou.

The farther north you go, the more desolate you see. Compared with the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is completely two worlds.

Unlike Jiangnan, the Northland is often invaded by the Rong tribe. After the first battle, Youzhou became a barren land a long time ago. Although the empire said that there were 13 states and 18 cities, the land of seclusion was already a land without owners, and the empire had lost its rule over this place.

When the Rong soldiers came over, the common people fled to death, and a number of them were killed and injured by the Rong swords. Others dragged their families to the south and fled to the south. One died of freezing and starvation on the way, and some people hid inside. In the deep mountains and forests, he lived a life like a savage.

When the war was over, these people dared to come out, cultivate the land, and herd cattle and sheep.

The Rong tribe once broke the Fallen Leaves City and made all living beings slaughtered. Now Li Xingzai is also out of reach, and has not yet sent anyone to take over the place. So Fallen Leaves City has become a zone of no concern, where many criminals and lawless people gather here.

Cheng Dalei and his party entered the city gate of Ye Yecheng at dusk. Looking at the scene in front of him, Cheng Dalei felt a lot of sighs in his heart.

When he first stepped into the Fallen Leaf City, he had some setbacks. It's just that things just started, and there are many things that are stretched thin. It is said that I still got my first pot of gold here.

It is really vicissitudes of life, and things are different.

From the first step he stepped into the city, he was already being watched. The so-called wealth is not revealed, Cheng Dalei and his party are all dressed in brocade clothes, and they are accompanied by beautiful women like Diaochan and Cui Baiyu.

The inhabitants of the city were all tattered and ferocious in appearance. They carried short knives and long sticks and mace, and they could smell the stench even before they got close.

And the bloody smell of drying on the body.

Where there is no kingly law, strength is the only rule. People living in the City of Leaves are either slaves who have lost their value as human beings, or beasts who have stepped on the bones of others.

When Li Xingzai and his party stepped into this place, they fell into the wolf's den like a white and tender little white sheep.

Immediately, someone quietly surrounded Cheng Dalei's group with weapons in their hands.

Where there are no rules, the rules of the beast are followed. The two beasts meet on a narrow road, each trying to swallow the other's flesh and blood, but they don't always say hello.
