It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 967

Facing Li Xingzai's eyes, Li Wan'er's expression did not change, but she said slowly, "Brother Huang, it's not easy for you and I to get to where we are today, and we each suffered a bit. Let’s talk about the future. Not only you and me, but the people of the empire can no longer afford more wars.”

Li Xingzai kept his mouth shut, and then said: "It's because the sixth brother is greedy, he wants to dominate the country and won't let go. I'm willing to sit down and talk, but will he definitely? You also said that he was born from a bandit, This kind of person is the most greedy. What I am afraid of is that the princes along the way cannot satisfy him, what he wants is the whole country."

Li Xingzai's words are not necessarily unreasonable, the key is that Cheng Dalei is too capable of hiding. Hiding in his own nest and never making a move, he finally boiled all his opponents to death, and now only he and Li Xingzai are left on the gambling table.

Back then, Li Xingzai had spent a period of time in Toad Village, and knew that Cheng Dalei was unfathomable. No one knew how many chips he had hidden in his palm. If he really went against Cheng Dalei, Li Xingzai didn't have much chance of winning.

But he is very close to winning the world, and even the brothers of flesh and blood will not want that position. People are greedy, and Li Xingzai is no exception.

But Li Xingzai was like this, but Cheng Dalei was not necessarily the same. What I am afraid of is that Li Xingzai is greedy, and Cheng Dalei is more greedy than him.

Li Xingzai hesitated for a while, unsure of his mind, because of this.

At this moment, Song Youqu hurriedly came, which could be called entering the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Li Xingzai's thoughts were disturbed, and his expression was a little unhappy: "What happened, make a fuss."

Song Youqu glanced at Li Wan'er, only to hear Li Xingzai say, "But it doesn't matter, what's there to be afraid of?"

Now Li Xingzai has the confidence to say these words. He has won the first battle, the lords of the world will serve him, and the Rong ethnic group has no leader. In this world, it is indeed difficult for him to be afraid of anything.

So he was still in the mood to pick up the teacup and take a sip of the tea.

It seemed that something really happened, Song Youqu couldn't stop sweating from his forehead, he said:

"Your Majesty, he found traces of Yeyuan Fire near Zhongli City. He summoned the remnants of the Rong tribe and prepared to return to Jiangbei."

Snapped!

The teacup in Li Xingzai's hand fell to the ground and smashed into powder. Li Xingzai stood up in a hurry, his eyes full of horror.

"This... where did this news come from?"

Song Youqu lowered his head: "There has been movement in the East China Sea. It is only said that Ye Yuanhuo is going to mobilize the remnants of the Rong tribe and return to Jiangbei.

"Check, check to the end." Li Xingzai waved his hand heavily: "Order Ma Mengqi to dispatch, no, let Hua Mulan also lead a team of people to do things, we must find out this matter clearly. Some people talk about this in private. The matter is unforgivable."

"My subordinate understands."

Song Youqu was ordered to leave, and Li Xingzai sat upside down on the chair.

The reason is just because of the name of Nohara Fire.

After the Battle of Liuping Lake, Ye Yuanhuo fell into the river and disappeared. In fact, no one knows whether he is alive or dead. It is estimated that there is a high probability that he will not survive. Bai Wushuang once searched along the river, and Li Xingzai dispatched more troops and searched once.

The result was exactly the same, the same nothing.

The river is fast, and the sea is connected to the east. It is easier said than done to find a person who does not know his life or death. But Ye Yuanhuo must die, and the world must be convinced of this.

So Li Xingzai randomly found a body and held a funeral for him with great fanfare. The purpose is to make the world believe that Ye Yuan Huo is dead.

Everything developed as Li Xingzai expected, but who would have expected another wildfire to appear now.

Could it be that he is really blessed and has not died yet, or maybe someone pretended to be deliberately trying to use the name of Ye Yuanhuo to do things.

Li Xingzai sat in the same place, his heart was in a mess, without the slightest thought.

Li Wan'er coughed lightly and recalled Li Xingzai's thoughts. She came to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and the Splendid Palace is also a good place, but no matter how good the Splendid Palace is, it is still not Chang'an."

After saying these words, Li Wan'er bowed and slowly left.

Li Xingzai sat there alone, the expression on his face changed.

Jiangnan is indeed not Chang'an. There are beautiful mountains and rivers, talented people and beautiful women, but after all, it lacks a bit of the king's spirit of Chang'an.

Before arriving in Chang'an, there are still many challenges along the way.

After a long time, Li Xingzai let out a long breath.

It seems that he really wants to have a good talk with Cheng Dalei.

Li Xingzai is a master who can bend and stretch, and he is not afraid of losing face. The situation in front of me is not as good as I imagined. If Cheng Dalei doesn't come to him, will he go to him and have a good talk.

...

Speaking of which, Cheng Dalei at this moment is really not carrying things in his arms and does not want to communicate directly with Li Xingzai. The truth is that there have been a lot of things going on recently, and Cheng Dalei was negligent for a while, and he didn't even think about it.

Li Xingzai defeated Ye Yuanhuo in Jiangnan, and the situation in Jiangbei was completely chaotic. Within the Rong tribe, Ye Yuanhuo was the absolute leader. This has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that the order is prohibited, and the subordinates have thorough execution. The downside is that once the wildfire fires, it is impossible for someone to take his place.

After Ye Yuanhuo's accident in Jiangnan, the remaining Rong tribe didn't know what to do. The imperial army revolted one after another, and the Rong tribe, who had lost their will to fight, was no longer invincible as before.

Wouldn't this be the best chance to beat the underdogs.

The key is that the Rong clan fled and swayed in front of Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei couldn't help it if he didn't make a move.

The toad army made a complete attack, attacking everywhere, beating the remnants of the Rong tribe and defeated generals. In the process, a lot of property was robbed, and a lot of prisoners were also recruited.

After the sharp explosion of strength, Cheng Dalei suddenly found a big problem: his men had the ability to attack the city, but they did not have the strength to defend the city.

Just like a black blind man breaking a stick, breaking one and throwing one away doesn't make much sense.

After careful deliberation, Cheng Dalei decided to give the Rong family a trick. Since you want to play, play some ruthless.

Now that the Rong people are in complete chaos, they all want to escape back to the grasslands. But since he's already here, how can he leave if he wants to.

Cheng Dalei sent his army to Xizhaoguan and seized the road from the empire to the grassland before the Rong tribe.

He wants to block all the Rong tribes who want to return to the grasslands in the empire, and then commit murder and arson.

This heavy responsibility naturally falls in Qin Man's hands.

Cheng Dalei is not without weaknesses. For example, he is good at defending and not attacking. There is absolutely no problem in defending the city. However, Cheng Dalei rarely does this in a head-to-head confrontation.

Qin Man can be regarded as inheriting the advantages of Cheng Dalei, and he controls Xizhao, so things will not go wrong.
