It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 966

Li Xingzai came to this day only after rounds of bloody battles with the Rong clan. The sacrifice was so great and the pressure was so great that even Li Xingzai nearly collapsed several times.

Let Cheng Dalei fight against the Rong tribe according to his style of play, Cheng Dalei will definitely not be able to play. With his little fortune in Toad Village, he couldn't stand the toss of such intensity.

However, fighting against Ye Yuanhuo and fighting against the same Cheng Dalei are completely different. In Li Xingzai's heart, Cheng Dalei must be a more difficult existence than Ye Yuanhuo.

The key lies in what Cheng Dalei is thinking at this moment.

Today was another fine day. Li Xingzai woke up from a hangover, and on the couch fell asleep without knowing which woman was lying in a jade body.

Li Xingzai is a big man. Now there are several concubines and concubines. It is not surprising that he can't remember the names of some people.

Feeling dizzy and groggy last night, Li Xingzai thought that he should calm down. If he continued like this, not only did his body not get rest, but it was a consumption.

Since the defeat of the Rong army, Li Xingzai moved to the Jinxiu Palace to live. After a long hard time, now you can relax a little and rest.

He got up in his clothes and came to the balcony of Jinxiu Palace. A cool breeze hit him, and he had a panoramic view of the lake and mountains.

Li Xing is a person who understands enjoyment, and the elaborately built Splendid Palace is naturally not ordinary. It's a pity that Li Xingzai is making wedding dresses for others, which is cheaper.

What Li Xingzai looked at was the northwest direction.

He frowned and tapped his temple lightly. Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei, what are you thinking...

Do you want to fight for this world with me?

The former friends have become enemies one by one, and they are all troublesome existences. Li Xingzai was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

"Report to Your Majesty, the eldest princess, Princess Mingyu, asks to see you." Xiao Huangmen came to report.

Li Xingzai paused and said, "Let her wait for me in the study, I'll be there soon."

Now Li Xingzai has a concubine, and there are eunuchs and palace maids in Jinxiu Palace. Now is not the same as before, it is not easy to meet Li Xingzai.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that Jiangnan was not Chang'an, and only when he returned to Chang'an could Li Xingzai regain his homeland and regain his seat.

And this probably won't take long.

Li Xingzai dressed neatly and came to his study. Li Wan'er was already waiting in the study, and when she saw Li Xingzai come in, she bent down and said a thousand blessings.

Li Xingzai waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, little sister, I don't have so many rules to talk about here."

Li Wan'er showed her face and smiled: "It's not what it used to be, there are still some rules that need to be said, even if they are made for outsiders to see."

Li Xingzai smiled and ordered the waitress to bring tea.

Li Wan'er grew up in the deep palace, although she was eccentric by nature, she did not understand the rules at all.

Displaced for these years, it is a rare opportunity. Now that Li Xingzai is showing royal manners again, she doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Brother Huang called me, what exactly is it for?" Li Wan'er asked.

"It doesn't matter much anymore, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and there are too many things in between. Now I can finally take a break. I just want to chat with you casually."

Li Wan'er held the tea in her hand, blew the foam away, and said slowly, "Is there still no letter from the northwest?"

Li Xingzai was stunned, the smile on his face froze, he shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly.

Li Wan'er understands the relationship between Li Xingzai and Cheng Dalei, and the current situation of both parties is indeed a bit embarrassing.

"He didn't send the letter, why didn't the emperor send someone over to see what he planned?"

"Let me send someone to ask him?" Li Xingzai snorted coldly: "He should have sent people over this matter, but now all the princes have sent people over, but he has not responded, neither sending people nor delivering letters. , I'm afraid I have other thoughts."

Li Wan'er sighed in the bottom of her heart, after all she said, Li Xingzai still couldn't let it go.

His words are not necessarily unreasonable. If he sent people to the northwest, he would lose the initiative in the negotiation and lose Cheng Dalei in momentum.

"If he intends to negotiate, what is the emperor's plan in mind?" Li Wan'er asked.

Li Xingzai thought for a while and said, "Now that the general situation of the Rong family is gone, the empire will return to the hands of our Li family. People make up their minds, there should be no more wars in this world. If Cheng Dalei intends to negotiate, I would like to give him the title of a prince and his wife. Yinzi, it's not bad to treat him badly."

"One hundred thousand elite soldiers in Liangzhou?" Li Wan'er asked.

Li Xingzai shook his head: "I'm afraid that military power cannot be given to him. Liangzhou is too close to Jingzhou, and there is no room for others to sleep on the side of the couch."

Li Wan'er shook her head with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid Cheng Dalei will not agree to this condition. How can a nominal prince be worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers in Liangzhou."

"This is what makes me embarrassed." Li Xingzai sighed.

Now Cheng Dalei may not have the strength to compete for the world. If he puts on a stance to fight against Li Xingzai, Li Xingzai has a five-point chance of winning.

With such a bargaining chip in his hand, Cheng Dalei's price must not be too low. But if his asking price was too high, Li Xingzai would not be able to give up the hard work.

Li Wan'er said, "Why don't I make a price for Cheng Dalei?"

Li Xingzai gave her a meaningful look and said, "Tell me about it."

Li Wan'er opened her mouth and said slowly: "Liangzhou establishes itself as a country, and I will help you to gain the country."

Li Xingzai took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "It's true that girls are outgoing, but your appetite is not ordinary."

Liangzhou is very close to Jingzhou, and Cheng Dalei's generals are extremely difficult to fight. If one day Liangzhou has the heart of disobedience, he will fight all the way through, and he is afraid that this country will change hands.

"The asking price is too low, and it is impossible for Cheng Dalei to give up easily. Brother Huang should also know that he was born as a bandit."

"People are unpredictable, and some things have to be guarded against."

"If there is no Cheng Dalei, can the emperor really get this world?"

Li Xingzai was startled, raised his head, and a sharp edge flashed in his eyes.

After a long while, he slowly shook his head, with a smile on his face: "Sister, you can't look at me too much."

"Although Jiangnan is fixed, there are still many Rong tribes in the north. The various princes are eager to move, and they may not really protect you. If there is no real help, I am afraid that this world will not be so easy to get."

"Even if the emperor can successfully gain the world, the appetites of the various princes must be satisfied. The emperor, I don't plan to raise tigers, I'm afraid to feed the wolves first."

Li Xingzai frowned, his eyes slowly calmed down, and finally fell on Li Waner.

"Shibie should be treated with admiration for three days." Li Xingzai said slowly: "It's not that the younger sister underestimates the elder brother, but the elder brother underestimates the younger sister."
