Li Xingzai's gaze unconsciously swept over Cheng Dalei, his face calm as still waters, yet his mind was shrouded in fog.
He truly could not fathom Cheng Dalei's intentions. At a time when all the lords of the realm were flocking to the capital, he chose to go against the grain and leave Chang'an City.
What were his true feelings? Did he sense that Chang'an City was unsafe and wanted to hunker down in his own territory? Once there, would he dutifully lie low, or would he dispatch troops and generals to plot mischief?
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Li Xingzai smiled and said, "You cannot leave. With all the lords coming to the capital, who knows what they're thinking. I still rely on you to bolster my courage, Cheng Dalei, we are our own people."
Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "The lords of the realm mostly look upon me with displeasure. My leaving this place can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles."
