Chapter 08: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain

"Your Majesty, you are now reduced to such a field, I don't know, do you have anything else to say?" Cheng Yaojin stood at the door of the cell and said calmly to Ghost Li. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ghost Li slowly raised his head, and after glancing at Cheng Yaojin extremely calmly, he lowered his head again without saying a word.

"Ghost Li! Your death is coming soon! Let me ask you, do you have anything else you want to say?" Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly, and asked Ghost Li loudly.

"General Cheng, there is no personal grudge between you and me. Why are you here to entertain me, a dying man? Ghost Li sat on the wooden bed with his head hanging and said slowly to Cheng Yaojin.

"Ghost Li, I think you were already a vassal to Li Tang at the beginning, but in the end you went back on your word, so that you fell to the point where you are now. Ghost Li, do you regret the treacherous decision you made at the beginning?" Cheng Yaojin asked Ghost Li with a mocking expression.

After listening to Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Ghost suddenly laughed, he raised his head and pointed at Cheng Yaojin, and said with a smile: "I have fallen to the point where I am now, do I have the slightest relationship with Li Tang? The reason why I lost was only because I was betrayed by those dog thieves." I once wanted to be a minister to Li Yuan, but I have never been Li Tang's courtier for a day, so how can I be treacherous!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at the down-and-out monarch of the dead country inside, and after he sighed helplessly, he asked slowly: "If you are given a chance to choose again now, do you want it?"

When Ghost Li heard this, he immediately frowned, and he asked Cheng Yaojin in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Yaojin threw the small cloth bag he had been holding tightly in his hand into Ghost Li's cell.

"All the people who have betrayed you will celebrate your success tonight with a drink at the Blue Hotel. Whether you can seize this opportunity or not depends on how capable you are. After Cheng Yaojin finished speaking with a wry smile, he shook his head and turned around and left here.

Ghost Li picked up the small bag on the ground, looked at the lock pill antidote inside, and whispered to himself: "Do you want to borrow my knife and kill all your political enemies......?" , aren't you afraid, I'll even kill you too?" After finishing speaking, Ghost Li swallowed the antidote in his hand into his stomach without hesitation.

That night, when all the rebels of the Northern Liang were happily setting up wine to celebrate, Li Gui suddenly rushed into the Canglan Restaurant with more than 500 forbidden army warriors and killed all those who had betrayed him.

Early the next morning, Ghost Li came to the left and right guards alone, and asked to meet the only remaining general in Wuwei City, Cheng Yaojin.

"Thank you for giving me a chance to take revenge, all my grievances are settled now. You take this head of mine and ask Li Tang for merit and reward. Ghost Li closed his eyes with a smile and said to Cheng Yaojin calmly.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Ghost Li, who was already carefree at this time, and he remembered the conversation he had with the lord a day ago.

"Lord, this matter must not be done! If you release Ghost Li, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain! Lord, Ghost Li will never surrender to you!" Cheng Yaojin was anxious and angry, and shouted to Wukong.

After Wukong calmly took a sip of tea, he slowly said to Cheng Yaojin: "I have thought about it repeatedly, even if you kill all the important ministers of Beiliang, my father-in-law will not necessarily hand over Beiliang to you. However, Ghost Li is different, as long as he is a vassal to Datang, then my father-in-law must make him king no matter what. It's a lot more secure than your plan. ”

Cheng Yaojin saw that the lord had not figured out the key to the problem at all, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and tried his best to persuade the lord in a calm tone: "Lord, what you said is not wrong. However, if you give Beiliang to Ghost Li, have you ever thought that he will feel a trace of gratitude to you for this? Lord, don't fantasize about subduing him anymore, this is completely impossible!"

When Wukong heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"When did I tell you that I wanted to subdue him? When did I tell you that I was going to give Beiliang to him? If this person is a vassal to Datang, then he will give up the struggle for world domination. As long as the soldiers and horses of the Northern Liang are in your hands, you are the true master of the Northern Liang!" After saying this loudly, Wukong took another sip of tea and continued.

"Even if Ghost Li doesn't give up the fight for dominance in the world, even if Ghost Li still controls the entire Northern Liang, so what? As long as Li Tang doesn't get the Northern Liang, then, no matter what stupid thing I do, I will not be able to lose. This is what Wen Chen told me, the general trend!" Wukong was very serious and said to Cheng Yaojin in a deep voice.

Since the battle under the Five Tails City, Ghost Li's bleak and desolate back has always been in Wukong's mind, constantly flashing back and forth

The same overlord, Wukong thought of himself from Ghost Li, and thought of what kind of pain he would have in his heart if he also came to that point.

Gradually, Wukong began to sympathize with Ghost Lee's plight and didn't want to kill him anymore.

So, Wukong began to think about the consequences of releasing Ghost Li, and he found that the worst result was just that Cheng Yaojin relied on a hundred dragon horses to beat Ghost Li again, so he finally decided to spare Ghost Li's life this time, and if the other party didn't know what to do, then it would not be too late to kill him.

Cheng Yaojin lowered his head and thought about the lord's words repeatedly, and gradually, he also thought of many benefits of releasing Ghost Li.

In the end, although he still felt that the lord's decision was purely a blind toss here, and Ghost Li would not be so easily convinced, but he finally agreed to the lord's decision.

Just like Wukong said, as long as the military power is always in his hands, he is not afraid to toss it again!

"I have two conditions, if you can promise me, you will still be at the helm of Beiliang. First, take An Xinggui's head and go to Big Star City to profess to Li Yuan. Second, from now on, in Beiliang, you will be in charge of political affairs, I will be in charge of the military, and everyone will not interfere with the river water! Do you agree?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Gui with an expressionless face and said to him calmly.

Li Ghost opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Yaojin with a frown, and said in a deep voice: "You are not Li Tang's person!

Although Ghost Li exposed Cheng Yaojin's disguise, Cheng Yaojin could still do it if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

"Of course I'm not Li Tang's courtier! My original lord was Li Mi, after he failed to oppose Tang, do you think Li Tang will use me again? You don't have to think about it anymore, my only official position is the general you gave me. The reason why I must control the military power is just that I don't want to see you anymore and die. I'll ask you one last time, do you agree?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked Ghost Li coldly.

Li Ghost is very confident in his judgment, he knows that what Cheng Yaojin said is definitely a lie, but at this moment, does he still have a choice?

After Ghost Li sighed, he stretched out his right hand to Cheng Yaojin, and said with a smile: "Deal!"
