It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 1005

Cheng Dalei returned to the mansion and explained his heart to Xu Shenji and Cui Baiyu, and everyone knew that Cheng Dalei was going to leave Chang'an City.

"Master, if we leave at this time, will Li Xingzai think too much?" Xu Shenji asked.

"He thinks about it as much as he likes. I met Li Xingzai today, and I have already told him my heart. It just depends on whether he will let us go."

"What if he doesn't let us go?" Cui Baiyu asked.

"Then I'll sneak away quietly. It's not like we haven't done this kind of thing." Cheng Dalei said, "Pack up. If we can't wait for the imperial decree, we'll leave tonight."

Chang'an is very big, and it has gone through battle after battle, and now it is devastated. After Li Xingzai settled in Chang'an City, he began to repair the city wall and strengthen the city's defense.

But this is not a big problem for Cheng Dalei. He was born as a bandit, and breaking the wall is the craft of eating. Until now, Cheng Dalei has not left it behind.

Everyone began to pack their luggage and determine the route after leaving Chang'an City. In addition to Cheng Dalei and a few others, there are servants serving in the mansion. This is not one of Cheng Dalei's own people, it was arranged by Li Xingzai. They may not have the role of eyes and ears. Cheng Dalei also pretended not to know about this matter.

When it was getting late, Song Youqu came to visit and brought an imperial edict to Cheng Dalei.

"Lord Cheng, Your Majesty has approved your resignation, allowing you to patrol the sky and travel around the world."

Cheng Dalei guessed that Li Xingzai would allow him to leave, but he didn't expect the imperial decree to come so quickly, and Cheng Dalei didn't know how he should feel at the moment.

After handing the imperial edict to Cheng Dalei, Song Youqu looked at him and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Cheng would leave at this time. The princes of the world go to Beijing, I am afraid that many people are waiting to pay their respects to Lord Cheng's heroic appearance."

Cheng Dalei pouted, afraid that many people were looking forward to beating Cheng Dalei, if they could do it.

"I won't show up at this princely meeting. You also know that my popularity is not very good."

Song Youqu and Cheng Dalei laughed at the same time.

Song Youqu looked around, seeing no one around, and gradually put away the smile on his face.

"Master Cheng, no matter what the world thinks of you, I admire you very much. In my heart, you have done more to the empire than you have ever done. If you didn't have you in this troubled world, there would be a lot less wonderful."

At this time, what Song Youqu said to Cheng Dalei could be described as heartfelt and sincere.

Cheng Dalei raised his head: "merit is greater than demerit, what is my deed, and where is my deed?"

"Uh……"

Song Youqu was so choked that she finally regained her senses. He suddenly woke up, facing the thief in front of him, he must not be handled with common sense.

"Farewell today, I don't know when we will meet again in the coming year. Your Majesty asked me to ask Prince Cheng, what can I say to him?"

Cheng Dalei thought for a while, then shook his head again: "I have already said what I should say, does Your Majesty have any words for me?"

"My words just now are what His Majesty asked me to convey." Song You channel: "There is another sentence..."

Song Youqu looked into Cheng Dalei's eyes and said slowly, "As soon as the head of Cheng's family goes, His Majesty will really be alone."

Cheng Dalei was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "In the future, the world will be peaceful, and my generation will be useless. I believe that His Majesty will continue the past and forge ahead and become a wise and wise ruler."

After careful calculation, Cheng Dalei and Li Xingzai also have friendship. The meeting at Qingniu Mountain can be regarded as the first sight. But today, in the current position of the two, each individual has his own last resort.

That's why Cheng Dalei chose to leave at this time, so as not to cause trouble later.

...

When Cheng Dalei left, he didn't say hello to anyone. He, Xu Shenji, Cui Baiyu, Liu Facai, Yinmu, Diaochan and a group of seven people picked an evening and quietly left Chang'an City when the city gates closed.

The seven people prepared a carriage, two horses, and an ox, and after leaving Chang'an City, they headed south all the way.

It is said that Cheng Dalei has come to this day, and he has hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands. No matter in Liangzhou or Chang'an City, he lives a life of fine clothes and jade food. But Cheng Dalei is not someone who can't endure hardship, and he is used to this kind of night sleep.

The pre-determined route is from Chang'an City to Jiangnan, then from Jiangnan to the Central Plains, and finally from Qingniu Mountain to take a detour through the grassland to return to Liangzhou in the northwest.

As soon as Cheng Dalei left the city, Qi Jiguang got the news and hurried to the palace to report to Li Xingzai.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Dalei has already left the capital and has not returned to Liangzhou. Judging from his direction, it seems that he wants to go to Jiangnan."

"What is he going to do in Jiangnan, this is consistent with what he said." Li Xingzai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What I said, Cheng Dalei can't have any remorse, he has already told me in advance that he intends to go to Jiangnan to see Look."

Qi Jiguang said: "How does Your Majesty know that Cheng Dalei did not travel from Jiangnan to Jingzhou, join Liu Bei's team, and conquer Jingyi and Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

"This……"

Qi Jiguang was a little speechless, Li Xingzai used to be a decisive person, why is he indecisive about Cheng Dalei, and he has not made up his mind until now.

He didn't dare to push too hard, and it had the opposite effect.

"The subordinate has already made Yulongwei stare. If Cheng Dalei has the intention of treason, he will immediately start the beheading operation."

Li Xingzai nodded: "Is this the right thing to do? Some things don't have to be rushed. Now that the world has been decided, it is better to be quiet, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."

The actions against Cheng Dalei are top secret, and currently only Li Xingzai and Qi Jiguang know. In order to prevent leaks, even Song Youqu did not inform.

However, the wind and rain were about to come, and the air was full of restless atmosphere. It was impossible for Song Youqu to not notice at all.

After being proclaimed emperor, Li Xingzai has reorganized the Yulongwei. Part of them were the old men of Yulongwei, and part of them were the heroes of the rivers and lakes that Li Xingzai had recruited to his side.

Compared with the former Yulongwei, the strength has increased unabated.

And they are the main executors of this operation.

When Cheng Dalei went out this time, he didn't show off the mountains or water. Several people were wearing casual clothes and didn't say hello to anyone.

On this day, it is close to the big river, and crossing the big river is the boundary of Jiangnan.

At night, everyone rested in a deserted village. Years of war, ten rooms and nine empty spaces, the empire is mostly such a ruined village.

"The big boss, it seems that there are people behind us, like people from the imperial court." Liu Facai's eyes showed a stern look: "Would you like to get rid of them?"

Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "If they want to follow along, nothing can go wrong."
