Chapter 1036
Qi Jiguang stood outside the valley. Although he did not witness the events firsthand, he knew what was happening inside the valley.
Qi Jiguang's mood was anything but jovial, in fact, it was quite heavy. Nobody would wish for the emperor they served to be a heartless and ungrateful person. The saying "rabbits will be cooked when their burrowing ends, and hounds will be stewed once the hunt is done" was disliked by all.
Li Xingzai was not such a person in the past.
When Li Xingzai had just arrived in Lofeng City, Qi Jiguang had resolved to assist him. Back then, Li Xingzai had no airs about him; despite his ambition to contend for the world, it was driven by passion rather than conceit.
Including this incident with Cheng Dalei, Li Xingzai was hesitant and indecisive, which did move Qi Jiguang somewhat.
He served the emperor and could be the lone loyalist, inciting Li Xingzai to commit unjust deeds. But Qi Jiguang did not hope for Li Xingzai to be unjust by nature.
