From eunuch to emperor

"Don't worry, although the mountains are not lively, the meat is full, and there are animal skins in winter, so it's not cold."

Long Chen carried the woman on his shoulders, talking while walking.

The woman was surprisingly quiet on her shoulders, neither struggling nor cursing.

At the door, the smiling man saw Long Chen carrying a woman out, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you buy fish oil? Why did you buy a wife?"

Long Chen said with a silly smile: "Seeing that she is beautiful and fertile, I bought it."

The man smiled and said, "It's good if you can give birth."

Long Chen smiled and carried the woman back to the inn, walked all the way, and was watched all the way.

Back at the inn, the waiter was taken aback and asked, "Brother, why did you buy someone?"

Long Chen said: "Buy it back and be a daughter-in-law."

Xiaoer asked suspiciously, "Does my sister-in-law know?"

Long Chen said: "I don't know for the time being, cut first and play later, bring my horse over."

Xiao Er immediately went to the backyard to lead the horse, but Long Chen didn't go upstairs, he put the woman on the horse directly, and said: "Sell the fur in my room for me, and share the bill with you, next time I come , give me more money."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, he had met a high-ranking customer.

"Brother is generous, don't worry, brother will give birth to a fat boy."

Xiao Er was overjoyed.

Long Chen led the horse and walked towards the west gate.

When he arrived at the gate, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped Long Chen and asked, "Where did he come from?"

Long Chen laughed and said, "Master Xu bought it at home."

When the soldiers heard about Xu's house, they immediately let him go.

After leaving Qianjiang County, Long Chen walked west for more than ten miles, and saw a person riding a horse waiting by the roadside, it was Zhang Qian.

Long Chen rode over, the woman sat in front with a dull expression.

Seeing the woman, Zhang Qian asked in surprise, "My lord, this is..."

Long Chen didn't explain, but asked: "What about them?"

Zhang Qian said, "Camp by the river."

Zhang Qian led the way, Long Chen rode to the river, saw Lonely Jiali and Wu Jian, and many military tents.

When the woman saw the military tent, her dull face suddenly became puzzled, and she turned to look at Long Chen.

Dugu Jiali and Wu Jian patted their horses over, and said: "Lord Long."

Long Chen dismounted, and said to the woman: "Come down."

The rope on the woman's body had been untied long ago, and she did not move by herself.

"who are you?"

The woman didn't get off the horse, but asked Long Chen suspiciously.

"This is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, the chief eunuch, Long Cheng'en, the general who was appointed by the Holy Majesty to suppress the Kou."

Zhang Qian revealed Long Chen's identity.

The woman's face was shocked, as if she didn't believe Long Chen's identity.

"Bring her in."

Long Chen didn't explain too much.

Zhang Qian picked up the woman and brought her into the army tent.

After a while, Long Chen changed his clothes and came in. The woman was sitting on the ground, the cut on her body was still bleeding.

"Give her the fish oil."

Long Chen put the fish oil on the table, Zhang Qian asked, "How to use it?"

Before Long Chen could speak, the woman first asked: "Are you really Long Chengen?"

Long Chen didn't answer, but asked instead: "Who are you? Why were you caught and sold?"

The woman looked straight at Long Chen without making any answer.

"I am Long Chengen!"

Long Chen took out his token.

"This is General Zhang Qian, this is Captain Xiaoqi Wu Jian, and this is General Strong Crossbow Dugu Jiali."

Long Chen introduced him again.

Only then did the woman relax her vigilance, and said, "My name is Wu Xiangyun, and I was caught and sold as a pig by pirates."

Long Chen asked: "Just now at Xu's house, they said you were arrested from Zhenhai County, what is your relationship with the Wu family in Zhenhai?"

Wu Xiangyun's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said, "Wu Tianming is my father, and I am the Wu family in Zhenhai."

Zhang Qian asked in surprise: "I heard that the Wu family in Zhenhai was... exterminated because of resisting pirates."

Wu Xiangyun bit his lip, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and said bitterly: "My grandfather was a general, and pirates invaded. My father Wu Tianming led the people in Zhenhai to practice martial arts and killed many pirates."

"The people in the city who colluded with pirates hated our Wu family, and they cooperated with each other inside and outside to attack us, and took our whole family..."

At this point, Wu Xiangyun was crying.

Longcheng probably guessed what happened next, the Wu family was massacred, Wu Xiangyun fled among the people and was arrested, and then he was caught and sold at the Xu family.

Fortunately, there was an injury on his face, and he looked embarrassed, so he was not recognized, otherwise he would have escaped death.

"Heal the injury first. You should know how to use it. Only when your body recovers can you take revenge."

Long Chen handed over the fish oil, Wu Xiangyun took the fish oil, uncorked the stopper and smelled it, then drank most of the bottle with his head raised, and applied the rest on the wound.

Long Chen went out and stayed with Zhang Qian to take care of him.

Once outside, Wu Jian followed Long Chen: "My lord, it seems that Qianjiang County has been infiltrated by pirates."

He heard Zhang Qian talk about the situation in Qianjiang County.

"The Xu family is a pirate. There is no need to doubt that. What happened to the governor Chen Zu?"

As the governor of a state, he should not be willing to become a pirate, and there must be a reason for it.

"Is there any news from Feng He?"

In this fight, Jing Tianlie's hidden guards are mobilized, Nanliang's Imperial City Secretary may also get involved, and Long Chen's Xichang will definitely participate.

It's just that the West Factory has just been established, no matter how powerful Feng He is, he can only beat the side drums and inquire about some news. It may be difficult for him to fight.

In the final analysis this time, it still depends on Long Chen himself.

"It said that it entered the city yesterday, but there is no news today."

Wu Jian is not around, Feng He looks for Zhang Qian.

When Wu Jian was by his side, Feng He gave Wu Jian the news, and Feng He knew that Wu Jian was an absolute confidant.

"Let him go to the city to inquire and find out what's going on and why the governor Chen Zu joined the bandits."

Long Chen only figured out two things, the Xu family has a problem, and the governor has a problem, the specifics need to wait for Feng He's reply.

Zhang Qian came out of the army tent and said: "I have fallen asleep. She said that she still has an older sister who led soldiers and horses out of Zhenhai County. I don't know what's going on now. Please help me find her whereabouts."

Long Chen asked: "Do you have any information about the Wu family in Zhenhai?"

Zhang Qian shook her head helplessly: "This time the departure was too urgent, and I didn't know about the Wu family's affairs beforehand."

Looking at Qianjiang County in the distance, Long Chen said: "No hurry, just wait for them to come out."

Long Chen camped here, the city will definitely know, wait for them to come out to greet him.

Long Chen went back to the tent to meditate and practice.

Qianjiang County, Xu House.

A fat, bald man walked through the noisy yard, where women were still being auctioned, and arrived at the back yard. Although separated by a wall, it was much quieter here.

In the shrine, a tall middle-aged man is worshiping a statue. This person is Xu Zhi, the owner of the Xu family.

"Patriarch, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court has arrived outside the city."

Bald said.

After Xu Zhi worshiped piously, he turned around and came out, asking, "How many soldiers and horses did you bring? Have you arrived at the Governor's Mansion?"

These people are entrenched in Qianjiang County, and they also have their own news channels in the capital. They know that Long Chen is coming, but the specific situation is not clear.

The bald man shook his head and said, "It's only 1, and they were stationed outside the city, and they didn't enter the city."

Xu Zhi asked puzzledly: "1 thousand? Just such a small force? They were stationed outside the city, but they didn't enter the city? Did they become suspicious?"

The bald head didn't understand: "Patriarch, why don't you let the governor go to find out first?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes."

The bald head went out immediately and went to the governor's mansion.
