Chapter 1005
Cheng Dalei returned home and explained his intentions to Xu Shenji and Cui Baiyu, and it was only then that they learned of Cheng Dalei's plans to leave Chang'an City.
"Chief, if we leave at this time, will Li Xingzai overthink it?" Xu Shenji asked.
"Let him overthink if he wants," Cheng Dalei said, "Today, I met with Li Xingzai and have already shared my thoughts with him. It all depends on whether he lets us go."
"What if he doesn't permit us to leave?" Cui Baiyu inquired.
"Then I'll slip away quietly. It's not like we haven't done this before," Cheng Dalei said. "Pack your things. If we do not receive the imperial edict, we leave tonight."
Chang'an is vast and, having endured numerous battles, is now full of ruins. After Li Xingzai took up his post in Chang'an City, he began to repair the city walls and strengthen the fortifications of Chang'an.
