It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 509

On this day, the city lord's mansion of Toad City was cleaned up, because he was going to meet with the representatives of the general mansion today, and he specially changed into a brocade robe. He was sitting behind the handsome case, with Xu Shenji, Liu Bei, and He Shen on the left, with silver eyes holding swords standing behind them.

No matter what Xu Shenji's ability is, among the many military advisors in the cottage, he still ranks first.

Where is Brother Cheng Xian, where is Brother Cheng Xian, my brother Cheng Xian...

Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and saw a group of people pouring in outside, the first one wearing a black robe, strode into the hall.

When he saw Cheng Dalei, the man's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply and said, Brother Cheng Xian, you really make me miss you.

Cheng Dalei was stunned for a while, he really knew who this person was. This person is Bailisheng of the General's Mansion, and he was named a little Hou Ye. When Cheng Dalei was in Chang'an City, he had not dealt with the other side less.

Cheng Dalei put the people from the General's Mansion aside this time, and hadn't seen them for several days, but he didn't expect that the man sent by the General's Mansion was actually him.

Cheng Dalei quickly stood up, clasped his fists in return, and said, Master Hou, why are you here? It's my brother who offended me.

Hahaha. Bailisheng raised his head and smiled for a while: If I hadn't missed you, my virtuous brother, I wouldn't have been overwhelmed by this journey. In any case, I'll meet today.

Master Hou, please take a seat, please take a seat quickly.

Cheng Dalei gave Bailisheng a seat, and then sent someone to serve tea. After giving in to each other, Cheng Dalei said, It's been a while since Lord Hou and I were not in front. I don't know why Lord Hou's driver came to me?

I'm here this time, one is for our brotherly friendship, and the other is to pass on the decree of the present saint.

Seeing Cheng Dalei stunned for a while, Bailisheng smiled and said, The Sage was enthroned in Chang'an, and the title of his reign was set to be Xiaowu. Thinking of the grievances that my virtuous brother suffered in those years, the Sage couldn't rest assured.

Grievance, what grievance?

Could it be that my wise brother forgot how many people of the empire were saved in the battle against the Rong clan. Brother wise man, if you don't take credit, can the sage still remember it? He specially ordered me to pass on the decree to enshrine brother Xian as the master of Qin Chuan, eight hundred Liqin River is under the rule of the wise brother. The official uniforms and seals have been brought, and the generals under the wise brother also have their own awards.

Cheng Dalei paused, even if he was whitewashed. However, the eight hundred li Qinchuan is mine, whether you seal it or not, it doesn't actually change anything. And my people, do you need your reward?

Oh, it's good, it's good. Cheng Dalei said in his mouth, but the smile on his face slowed down: I already know the will of the sage, if you have nothing else to do, you can take a look at Qinchuan, the scenery here... ...well, not bad.

Bailisheng rolled his eyes and understood what Cheng Dalei meant. It is true that the General's Mansion can't offer any strong price now. After all, Cheng Dalei needs people and food. If he really wants something, why can't he grab it himself. After all, Cheng Dalei's own line is a bandit.

Alas! Bailisheng sighed deeply, How can I not understand the grievances in my heart, my brother, today, I would dare to ask, what does my brother think of Liangzhou in the northwest?

Uh... Cheng Dalei paused: How do you say this?

Baili Sheng said: If someone has a corpse for a vegetarian meal, they are not suitable. A hero like a worthy brother can only be reduced to the grass, and a good brother has anger in his heart, so why not be angry with his brother. As long as the worthy brother has the courage, the saint will let you do it. The king of Liangzhou, sealing his wife Yinzi, is also a promising future.

Cheng Dalei narrowed his eyes, thinking about Bailisheng's words. His words are not without temptation. Although Toad City is good, it is a rebel bandit after all. There is one person in the world who can kill himself in the name of justice. But if he goes further and becomes the king of Liangzhou, it is indeed a future. With the current strength of Toad City and the help of the General's Mansion, this may not be impossible.

Once he becomes the king of Liangzhou, if he advances, he can take over the world, and if he retreats, he can become a prince. In other words, even if Cheng Dalei was not interested, would his brothers have no idea, after all, no one was born just to fight.

Of course, this isn't a bad thing at all. The presence of Liangzhou is a natural barrier for Toad City. If you swallow Liangzhou City, you will have to carry a lot of trouble yourself. You know, it takes silence to make a fortune.

Brother Xian, Brother Xian... Baili Sheng called out several times.

Cheng Dalei suddenly came back to his senses and laughed for a while: Master Hou really woke up the dreamer, but I am short of troops and food in Toad City. If I really have an idea, what can Master Hou help me?

Bailisheng looked at Cheng Dalei speechlessly, thinking that you are just talking nonsense. It's not that I haven't seen it in the past few days. This year, Toad City has opened up tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, and it is a year of great harvest. Now your granary is almost full, and you are still saying that you are short of troops and food.

However, he also understands that it is impossible for Cheng Dalei to do things without paying any money.

Brother, don't worry, how could it be possible for my brother to treat you badly. If you have the heart, we can make a good plan for what to do in the future.

Cheng Dalei nodded, picked up the teacup and said, Master Hou will stay in my cottage for a few more days, let me think about it.

Bailisheng said his goodbye wisely, and is currently still living in Toad City. Almost as soon as he left, another group of people was ushered in.

Where is Mr. Cheng's family, where is Mr. Cheng's family... One person walked in quickly, clasped his fists and saluted: Master Cheng, but I really miss me.

Cheng Dalei saw that this person did know him. It was Zhong Weihu from Liangzhou City, who often dealt with Heshen.

Sit, sit. Cheng Dalei waved his hand: Recently things have been complicated, but I have neglected Master Zhong. I don't know why Master Zhong is coming here?

Zhong Weihu took a sip of tea and stared at Cheng Dalei with bright eyes: I wonder what Cheng's family thinks of Liangzhou?

Uh……

Cheng Dalei and several others in the hall were stunned. Zhong Weihu's words were almost exactly the same as what Bailisheng said just now.

Cheng Dalei paused for a while and said, Where did Mr. Zhong say this, it made Cheng Mou confused.

Zhong Weihu let out a long sigh and said, The Cheng family doesn't know anything. Since you arrived in Liangzhou, our two families can be said to be living in harmony with each other and have never offended each other. The king of my family respects the people of the Cheng family, and is very resentful about what happened to the Cheng family. But now, someone came to Liangzhou and wanted to take a step in our territory. Even if the Cheng family agreed to this matter, my family king would not agree.

Cheng Dalei blinked and asked, I don't know who wants to intervene?

Zhong Weihu pursed his lips and said, Has the Cheng family heard the name Bailisheng?

Cheng Dalei sat back in his chair and said slowly, I've never heard of it, I wonder what happened to this person?
