Chapter 626 What Big Dreams Are We Having
Chapter 626 What Big Dreams Are We Having
At Wang Qiang's warm invitation, Li Cunxi and others settled down in the ancient castle in the deserted mountains.
Fortunately, the Black Society basically did not take any action during this period, and Li Cunxi did not encounter any embarrassing situations.
On weekdays, people just eat and drink, and then chat together and discuss some poetry and songs.
As we all know, Li Cunxi came from the distant 21st century, and his entire knowledge of poetry and songs of this era came from a book called "Three Hundred Tang Poems".
It would be better to kill him than to ask him to compose a poem that would shock the world right now.
Even if his IQ is as high as 110, it is not entirely focused on poetry and songs. Therefore, he can only learn from his mistakes and plagiarize the seven-character and five-character poems of the great poet Li Bai.
After just a few days of such carefree life, Wang Qiang was completely impressed by Li Cunxi, this gangster who changed his career halfway through.
Today, when he heard Li Cunxi's "Presented to Wang Qiang", he couldn't help but burst into tears and murmured:
"My dear brother, you treat me so well that you even write poems for me."
Li Cunxi was extremely embarrassed because his poem "Presented to Wang Qiang" was actually adapted from Li Bai's poem "Presented to Wang Lun".
I didn't expect that this could move the Paladin Wang Qiang. Man proposes, God disposes.
Wang Qiang, who originally wanted to go to Liangzhou to investigate Li Cunxi, said some affectionate words to Li Cunxi, and then turned around and went to Liangzhou.
Wang Qiang was gone for two and a half days. On the third night, Wang Qiang rushed back to the castle exhausted.
At this moment, it was already late at night. Li Cunxi and others had gone to bed early. After Wang Qiang learned about their recent situation in the past two days from the maid, she returned to his and Wei'er's room.
Wei Er was still looking at the mirror in front of the dressing table. When she heard Wang Qiang's footsteps, she didn't even turn her head and said lightly:
"How's the investigation going?"
"So is what Xi Ze said true?"
Wang Qiang calmly took out a wanted warrant and handed it to Wei'er.
Wei'er stood up and took it in her hands. She looked at it carefully and was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close.
"Suspect number one?"
"Here is also a warrant for arrest. My brother is truly a god. Come and take a look."
Wang Qiang reached out and handed over the arrest warrant.
The face of Li Cunxi was drawn on the wanted poster, and it was also clearly marked on the arrest warrant.
"Xize, male, 17 years old, from Lizhou. His crimes include killing Lizhou Governor Shi Yan, robbing wealthy families in Youzhou, occupying the Taihang Mountains as a king, participating in the Bleeding Eagle case, and killing dozens of people in Huzhou..."
Wei Er was dumbfounded and said in surprise:
"He's only been a thief for three years, and he's already the top suspect?"
"He is indeed a fierce and capable bandit. Such a person must hate the Great Zhou."
Then, Weier smiled and said:
"We can definitely find a way to win him over, make him one of our own, and then act together."
"I firmly believe that with such people on our side, we will surely win."
Wang Qiang nodded vigorously; he thought so too.
"Then it's settled. Let's observe for a few more days to see if he really hates the Great Zhou."
"As long as he continues to show his determination to fight to the death with the Great Zhou, we will win him over."
That night, Wei'er and Wang Qiang did not sleep all night.
They thought about it from midnight till dawn, trying various ways to test Li Cunxi.
At breakfast time the next day, Wei'er and Wang Qiang entertained Li Cunxi and his group with dark circles under their eyes.
Li Cunxi wanted to tease him, so he said, "Brother, you and sister-in-law should not be too indulgent. I guess you didn't sleep all night last night, right?"
Wang Qiang laughed dryly and didn't know how to respond.
They are family and know their own business. He and Wei'er's marriage is a fake one. They have been together for so long, but he is still a virgin.
As for whether Wei'er was a virgin, he didn't know.
Soon, all kinds of vegetables, fruits and meat were served on the table. Wang Qiang took a sip of wine and said to Li Cunxi:
"Brother Xize, I stayed in Liangzhou City the past two days and heard a little about your reputation."
"I think, brother, you just killed a few people, killed one or two governors, robbed some things, and occupied the mountain as a king."
"The Great Zhou actually dared to issue a wanted warrant for you and even listed you as the most wanted criminal. This is really going too far!"
Li Cunxi was also indignant and said:
"This Great Zhou Emperor is just too bullying. We brothers originally had more than ten people, and there were also several personal attendants."
"While I was traveling to many places, five of my brothers and close followers were killed. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night."
"If he gains power in the Western Regions one day and has the opportunity to counterattack the Great Zhou, it depends on whether I will fight to the death with that dog emperor!"
As Li Cunxi spoke, spit flew everywhere.
Whether in his expression, eyes, or words, he was dissatisfied with the Great Zhou Emperor, Wu Zetian.
He spoke nonsense in front of Wang Qiang as if he wanted to eat Wu Zetian alive.
Hu Jinghui held back his laughter, lowered his head and acted as if he was deep in thought, but in fact he was already beaming with joy in his heart.
"You're here to test the relationship between us and the emperor. Isn't this just a joke?"
"There is a hatred between Li Cunxi and the emperor that wants to kill his entire clan. He just cursed the emperor without thinking. There is no flaw at all."
Li Cunxi's insults never stopped from the beginning, and he continued until all the dishes were served. He was still chattering about Wu Zetian's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Wu Yanhao had no feelings for Wu Zetian, who forced his grandfather to death, so he just let Li Cunxi insult Wu Zetian crazily.
Wang Qiang sat in the main seat, listening to Li Cunxi's abuse, and her guard against Li Cunxi became less and less.
Even Wei'er let down her guard, believing that Li Cunxi hated Wu Zetian with a vengeance.
Finally, Li Cunxi felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the inferior wine to moisten his throat, then put the glass down and continued to curse.
At this moment, Wang Qiang said:
"It is understandable that my dear brother hates the emperor so much."
"I also have a prejudice against the emperor. In this regard, my brothers and I are of the same mind."
"To be honest, I have had the intention to rebel, but I have no manpower, so I cannot cede Gansu and Liang to govern myself."
"But I don't know, brother, do you have any ideas?"
Li Cunxi tilted his head and sprayed all the wine he had just drunk onto the carpet.
He raised his head and looked at Wang Qiang with disbelief.
"Brother, what are you dreaming about?"
"Cut off Gansu and Liang to govern themselves?"
"The imperial court has a full 100,000 troops in the Ganliang area. Killing you will be as easy as playing."
"If you want to rebel, there is only one way. That is to follow me to the Western Regions. We will develop there. After ten or eight years, when we are strong enough, we can counterattack the Great Zhou and make the borders of the Great Zhou restless!"
Li Cunxi's serious nonsense made Wang Qiang fall into deep thought.
In Wang Qiang's opinion, ceding Gansu and Liang to self-government is indeed not a good idea.
But apart from ceding Gansu and Liang to govern themselves, these people couldn't come up with any good strategy.
Wang Qiang turned to Li Cunxi and said respectfully, "Brother, could you elaborate on what you just said about developing in the Western Regions?"
