It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 493

People from the north ride horses, people from the south ride boats, and the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are vertical and horizontal. The imperial army led by Li Letian is not familiar with water warfare.

Therefore, although Li Letian hated his teeth in his heart, he couldn't fight against Li Xing. He could only issue a thief order to the world, stating that Li Xing was a traitor, and everyone in the world could attack him.

Yangzhou is one of the most fertile places in the world, and I don't know how many people stare at it and drool. Now Li Xing has also become a thief that everyone in the empire can kill, but everyone is afraid of his strength and has not done it for the time being.

One south and one north, became a situation of confrontation between the two emperors. In addition to the two emperors from the north and the south, Li Letian also enshrined eighteen princes and kings. In the territories of the princes and princes, they all have legislative power, executive power, and taxation power.

In the process of dividing up the profit cake, Cui Xiang failed to push Li Xingzai to the throne as he wished. But it can't be said that he has failed. Such a long-standing family will never put all bets on the gambling table. They always have a way to benefit themselves in any situation.

Of the eighteen princes and kings, two were representatives of the Prime Minister's Office, namely Song Bokang, King of Liangzhou, and Lei Tianyin, King of Yanzhou.

As for Li Xingzai...he had lost his use value and was naturally eliminated from the competition. But after all, it is the prince of the empire, and he also showed his face in this thief-hunting operation. Although he was a bit trashy, the big man of the empire can't be regarded as anything and nothing has happened. In the end, Li Xingzai also mixed the position of a prince and king, and the fief was in Luofeng City, Xuzhou.

Luofeng City is a small city with a population of less than 100,000 people. It is located at the junction of Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Yanzhou. Yangzhou is Li Xing's site, Yanzhou is the prime minister's site, and Xuzhou is the general's site. Therefore, the geographical situation here is extremely complicated. In the event of a war, Luofeng City will bear the brunt.

In addition, the land here is barren, and the residents of the city can only make a living by going out to sea to fish, and there are often pirates who make troubles, and the life of the residents is very difficult.

On this day, a dark horse came out of the capital, led by a young man, walking with a lame. This cripple is naturally going to take office in Luofeng City, Li Xingzai.

After being injured in Bingzhou, he still has some disabilities in his left leg. I thought that after leaving Chang'an today, I would go to my own fief. Before I left, there was no one to see him off, and I was just a dark horse with me.

He smiled bitterly. Of course, he already knew about Luo Fengcheng's situation in advance, but from his face, he could not see how decadent he was. Compared with before, his eyes were a little more angry.

A poster was posted at the gate of the city, and many people gathered around to watch it. Li Xingzai didn't join in the fun, because he knew what was posted there.

This is a recruiting order under the imperial court. Regardless of one's background, as long as one has a skill, one can go to the newly established recruiting hall to find a half-official position.

Li Xingzai knew that not only the imperial court, but also other princes and kings were doing the same thing, recruiting talents and fostering a wide range of disciples. In the future, it might be the world of warriors, killers, and lobbyists.

Li Xingzai didn't stop for a long time, leading the horse on the road. The situation in Luofeng City was very complicated. Moreover, from the capital to Luofeng City, the two places are thousands of miles away, so I don't know what will happen on the road. Not to mention the bandit bully occupying the forest, there is no doubt that there will be other forces sent to assassinate their killers, and they will kill themselves with a knife on the way.

When he left with the horse, he passed a woman, Li Xingzai glanced at the woman, and saw that she was born ordinary, and there was nothing unusual about her, but somehow, at the moment when the two wronged their shoulders, However, Li Xingzai felt a chill in his heart.

He shook his head and smiled, now that there is still a lot of trouble in front of him, so don't worry too much about things that have nothing to do with him.

...

Liangzhou, Toad City.

Cheng Dalei nestled in the small dark room, analyzing and studying the information sent by the Xizi team. Tsk tut in his mouth: "This Li Letian is troubled by raising tigers."

Sitting opposite Cheng Dalei, Axi said, "What do you think of the big boss?"

Cheng Dalei took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Two emperors and eighteen kings, Li Letian's court's control of the empire is limited to Jingzhou and Bingzhou. He is not only raising tigers, but raising eighteen heads in one go. Evil tigers. There cannot be two kings in the country, and there cannot be two tigers in the mountains. They are raised and raised, and in the end, it is just a dog bites a dog. Look, this empire will become more and more chaotic.”

"In your opinion, in the last dog-eat-dog, who will be the last dog to live?" Axi asked.

"How can I see this." Cheng Dalei said: "Now, all the forces are betting, don't they, I hope those who bet will go to the end. However, the world's general trend is changing rapidly, and now the least optimistic, may not be impossible. Be the last one. By the way, what is Li Xingzai doing now?"

"He is already on his way to Luofeng City, we won't know more information."

"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful this way." Cheng Dalei thought about it and said, "You let Bai Yuan fly over, I have something for him to do."

After a while, Axi brought Bai Yuanfei over together, and Cheng Dalei said: "Now, there is something for you to do. If you go out to the city, if you are fast, you should be able to catch up with Li Xingzai. After you find him, don't talk to him. See, it's only for protection in secret. When he arrives at Luofeng City safely, you can come back. By the way, you should be able to find him, right?"

"As long as he makes some noise along the way, it's not difficult to find him." Bai Yuanfei said.

"Okay, hurry up. When you come back, remember to bring back any information along the way."

After Bai Yuan flew away, he immediately rode a fast horse out of the city and went straight to Jingzhou.

Cheng Dalei, on the other hand, was still in the house, dealing with other things. He is quite used to the current life, these days have passed, and he has gained another two pounds.

Axi stood aside and said, "Master, how is your sword enlightenment?"

"It's good, I realized it early and late, and I'm almost covering my prickly heat." Cheng Dalei said casually.

"When the big boss is going to leave the customs, everyone is guessing now..."

Cheng Dalei pouted, he didn't dare to joke about his life, if he couldn't solve Nie Yinniang, he wouldn't leave this room.

With a sudden movement in his heart, Cheng Dalei asked Axi, "Has any woman entered the city these days?"

"Which woman is the boss looking for?"

"This..." Cheng Dalei sighed: "I don't know what kind of woman she is, but it's very dangerous, fatally dangerous."

Axi was confused and couldn't understand what Cheng Dalei was saying.

"No matter what kind of woman it is, all women who enter the city must be carefully checked, and the information obtained must be sent to me."
