From eunuch to emperor

When the matter developed to this point, Yu Fuguo felt that he had contributed a lot.

If it hadn't been for the Imperial City Secretary to recruit Long Chen, if it hadn't been for him to promote Long Chen as the escort, if he hadn't sent Long Chen to Longxing Valley with his own hands, all of this might not have happened.

Once the ghost is traced, it is very likely that Yu Fuguo will be found.

Yu Fuguo must get rid of this suspicion.

Thinking about this point clearly, Yu Fuguo reprimanded him: "Why did you run away, there are guards around you, how could Liu An run away!"

"He must still be in the valley. We need to see people when we live, and corpses when we die!"

Wang Liang didn't dare to say more, and immediately searched again.

The chaos in Longxing Valley did not subside until noon the next day.

The Custodians on the mountain finally came down to help maintain order, the bodies were piled up, and the fires in the houses were stopped.

Yu Fuguo was sitting in the conference hall, and Zhuang Xin, the leader of the imperial army, came in to see him.

"Xiaguan Zhuang Xin, I have met Mr. Yu."

Yu Fuguo looked at the burly Zhuang Xin, and asked, "Where is Iron Mountain?"

Zhuang Xin sighed: "Lieutenant Tie was seriously injured in the scuffle yesterday and died of his country."

Tieshan was indeed seriously injured in the scuffle yesterday, but he did not die.

Zhuang Xin took the opportunity to stab Tieshan and took Tieshan's place.

Yu Fuguo sighed slightly: "Lieutenant Tie deserves to die."

"What's the situation with the Forbidden Army?"

Zhuang Xin shook his head and said: "Yesterday in the scuffle, our imperial army suffered heavy casualties. More than 300 people were killed and more than 100 people were seriously injured."

"One of the sentry towers in the south was breached, and all the brothers above died."

Yu Fuguo was secretly startled, the breach of the sentry tower meant that someone had escaped.

Is that guy Liu An?

"Long Chen has many schemes, and Longxing Valley has been defended with layers of defenses inside and out, but in the end he was taken advantage of."

Yu Fuguo didn't mention Liu An at all, only Long Chen.

Zhuang Xin nodded and said: "Exactly, we have set up several layers of defense, but none of them are useless."

"Elder-in-law, you are always from the Imperial City Division, please investigate thoroughly how Long Chen got in here."

Yu Fuguo was startled, thinking that Zhuang Xin knew something.

"What do you mean by that, General?"

Yu Fuguo asked tentatively.

Zhuang Xin said: "The defense of Longxing Valley is so tight, there must be someone to respond inside, so that Long Chen can succeed."

Yu Fuguo felt relieved secretly, he thought that Zhuang Xin knew that Liu An might be Long Chen.

"Whether there is an internal response, you can only know if you check it out."

"You know that Long Chen is full of tricks, he wants to infiltrate, and he has a lot of ways."

Zhuang Xin didn't have any proof, he just came here today to pay a visit to Yu Fuguo.

"My father-in-law is right, my subordinates will arrange for the imperial army and resign."

Zhuang Xin exited the meeting room, and Yu Fuguo's forehead was covered with sweat.

What Zhuang Xin said just now startled Yu Fuguo, thinking that Zhuang Xin had some information.

Picking up the kettle on the table, Yu Fuguo was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but thought of the poisoning, so he put it down again.

Nothing in the valley is safe to drink the water here.

After waiting for a while, Wang Liang came in and said, "Eunuch, I can't find Liu An, I don't know where he went."

"The two female slaves in the room heard that they went out to collect ice and snow yesterday and never came back."

Yu Fuguo immediately said: "It seems that Liu An is dead and turned into ashes."

Wang Liang's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately said, "Liu Yasi died for the country."

Yu Fuguo asked, "Where's Xu Feng? What are the black armor troops doing outside?"

Yu Fuguo knew that there were black armored troops around Longxing Valley, specially used to hunt and kill Long Chen, and heard that the equipment was different.

Wang Liang shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, maybe I went after Long Chen."

Longxing Valley has been destroyed, it is useless to stay here.

Yu Fuguo stood up and said, "Let's go, go back."

Wang Liang immediately prepared, took the surviving brothers, and followed them all back to Jinling.

There is nothing here, and there is no need for the people of the Imperial City Division to stay here.

The people from the Imperial City Department left, leaving only the Imperial Army in Longxing Valley.

...

When Yu Fuguo returned to Jinling, Long Chen was walking on the mountain road.

Along the way, Long Chen kept making traps, deliberately leaving footprints for Xu Feng to follow behind.

When he came to a river, Long Chen jumped, stepped on the top of the tree and flew for more than ten miles, then landed, and continued to walk forward on the mountain road.

Xu Feng, who was behind him, tracked to the front of the river, and suddenly lost his track.

"General Xu, there are no footprints left."

The young general lay down on the ground and searched for a long time, but he couldn't find a single footprint.

The surrounding hundreds of meters have been checked, but no traces have been found.

"General, Long Chen may go downstream."

The young general looked at the river and said.

Xu Feng let out a long sigh: "This guy is cunning, he can't catch up."

If Long Chen goes down the river, who knows where to land?

This is the end of the trace, and it is impossible to continue.

"General, are we not going after him?"

The young general was not reconciled.

With more than 300 people chasing and killing, there are constantly traps along the way.

After chasing up to now, there are only more than 50 people left, and the others are all dead.

After paying such a high price, he stopped chasing in the end.

Xu Feng said helplessly: "Chasing, where are we going? This guy has been playing tricks on us!"

There was another sentence that Xu Feng didn't say.

Long Chen didn't look back because he was worried that ghosts would be behind.

If Long Chen is sure that the ghost is not there, everyone here will die.

Xu Feng is not a fool, he will not lead his men to die.

"go back!"

Xu Feng made a decisive decision and led the people back the same way.

Long Chen crossed the river, flew more than ten miles, landed on the ground, walked for a long time, and saw a town.

Xu Feng must have been dumped.

The reason is simple, if Xu Feng wants to continue tracking, he has to look for traces in the surrounding area for more than ten miles, and within a few days he can't find them at all.

Faced with such a situation, Xu Feng would definitely choose to retreat.

Even if the ghost is present, you must spend time looking for traces.

Seeing this town, Long Chen reckoned the location, it should be Longjiang City ahead.

Longjiang City enters Yanghu Lake and flows east into the river.

Although Xu Feng was thrown away, there was still a possibility of encountering soldiers and horses besieging him ahead.

Long Chen sneaked into the town, found a hunter, took some clothes to change into, and left a piece of silver.

Wearing Orion's clothes, Long Chen arrived in Longjiang City.

There happened to be a passenger ship, Long Chen paid the money, found a place to squat down, covered his face with a leather hat, and began to sleep soundly.

I have hardly rested these days, and my body is already very tired.

When I woke up, the passenger ship had already arrived at the mouth of the river.

Long Chen got off the boat and changed to a fast boat to cross the river.

Soon, they arrived in Jiangbei, which is the boundary of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Long Chen changed to another carriage and walked slowly towards Diaoyu City.

...

Guitai led Yan Xi and ran wildly all the way, and several horses ran to death.

Guitai is in good health and doesn't need to sleep, and the same is true for the five people in Longye.

Yan Xi couldn't stand it, and the imperial army accompanying him suffered even more. Someone fell asleep on horseback and fell to his death.

The ghost completely ignored it, and chased him all the way to the vicinity of Linjiang City, but there was still no trace of Long Chen.

"What's going on? Hasn't this guy arrived yet?"

The ghost felt strange, logically speaking, Long Chen would definitely take this route.

But there was no trace at all, which made Guitai feel very strange.

"Holy Son, Long Chen is full of tricks, will he do the opposite?"

"He didn't head for Linjiang City, but turned around and headed for Jinling City?"

Yan Xi's words reminded the ghost that it is indeed possible for Long Chen not to retreat directly to Linjiang City, but to turn around and rush into Jinling to kill Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao still has very important value to ghost fetuses, and cannot be killed by Long Chen.

In the eyes of the people of Nanliang, Li Chengdao is the emperor of Liang.

Commanding an army of millions requires the help of Li Chengdao's name.

"It's possible, go back!"

Guitai immediately rode his horse back again, and Long Ye and the other five immediately ran back.

Yan Xi's eyelids could no longer be opened, and he fell off his horse after running for a short time.

Guitai ignored Yan Xi, but continued to attack eastward.

The Imperial Army dismounted to help Yan Xi up, and shouted: "Commander!"

Yan Xi closed his eyes and didn't respond, he was already asleep.
