From eunuch to emperor

From the road map, after crossing the river, the entourage headed almost straight to the north, passing through Luming Town, Anmu City, Yun'an County... all the way out of Yanmen Pass.

"The subordinates are incompetent. They followed him to the northwest of Yanmen Pass and lost them."

Looking at the route map, Long Chen only came near Yanmen Pass, Cheng Qing immediately pleaded guilty.

Long Chen carefully put away the map, patted Cheng Qing on the shoulder, and praised: "Very well done, that follower's cultivation has reached Emperor Zun, and you can't even reach the king. It's a miracle to be able to track it to the outside of Yanmen Pass!"

The difference in cultivation was too great, so it was easy to be discovered. Cheng Qing tracked for thousands of miles from Linhu City to the north to outside Yanmen Pass, without being spotted by his followers, and he did a very good job.

Seeing that Long Chen not only didn't blame, but also praised himself, Cheng Qing didn't know if Long Chen really praised him, or was he sarcastic?

There are often such things in the Imperial City Division. The boss seems to be praising, but in fact he is reprimanding.

Lu Ji saw what Cheng Qing was thinking, and said with a smile, "King Wu just praised you, don't think too much."

Only then did Cheng Qing feel relieved, and said: "King Wu has won the award, and his subordinates are incompetent. After passing the Yanmen Pass, they will not be able to keep up."

Long Chen said: "This person will definitely bring new helpers when he goes back. This king intends to ambush in the south of the Yangtze River."

"You go to Jiangbei to inquire about the news, and if you find their traces, tell the king immediately."

Yu Fuguo felt a little strange and asked, "Why didn't King Wu ambush in Jiangbei?"

Jiangbei is the boundary of the Great Zhou, so it is much more convenient to mobilize troops.

The Jiangnan side is in a state of confrontation, and the soldiers and forces of the two sides are intertwined. If they make a move, the target can easily escape, or even fall into the unfavorable situation of being besieged.

Long Chen said: "If you want to cross the river, there are only a few places with piers, so it's easy to set up an ambush."

"If it's in Jiangbei, it's not easy to choose an ambush location. Once the ambush fails and they escape across the river, it will be difficult to hunt them down."

In fact, Long Chen chose to ambush in Jiangnan instead of Jiangbei, in order not to startle the snake.

If an ambush is set up in Jiangbei, the ghost will definitely suspect that it will be tracked, thus changing the location of the meat garden.

If he chooses to hunt and kill in the south of the Yangtze River, the ghost will not think that his whereabouts will be exposed, and he will suspect that he was discovered by accident.

Yu Fuguo felt something was wrong, but it seemed reasonable, so he couldn't refute it.

After all, Long Chen has always been exhaustive.

"You follow my king's orders."

Long Chen explained the plan in detail immediately, several people have their own tasks.

"When you arrive in Jiangbei, someone will cooperate with you."

Long Chen made a plan, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

the next day.

After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, Yu Fuguo paid the bill, and Long Chen and his five left on horseback.

When leaving, Yufu Guoduo gave the silver, and the shopkeeper was very happy.

Long Chen walked for a long time before Cheng Qing came out of the guest room. After paying the bill, Cheng Qing immediately hired a boat to cross the river.

The five of Long Chen went downstream, the four of Yu Fuguo found a boat to cross the river, and Long Chen stayed in an inn in a small town downstream alone.

Taking out Cheng Qing's map, Long Chen read it carefully again, then wrote a letter and handed it to the informant in the city.

The informant was from Xichang. After receiving the letter, he immediately went to find Feng He.

When Yu Fuguo arrived in Jiangbei, the people from Xichang immediately responded.

According to the plan, everyone dispersed.

According to the route given by Cheng Qing, Long Chen asked Xichang, Jinyiwei, and Yingwei to cast a big net in Da Zhou.

After the follower finds reinforcements, the return route should be roughly the same, and it is impossible to change too much.

Long Chen laid a net around this line, waiting for them to sneak in.

a few days later.

Yun'an County.

The sky was covered by dark clouds and it was raining lightly. Five people wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats rode fast horses and rushed past the county town.

The horseshoes trampled on the mud, stirring up a burst of muddy water. The farmers working on the roadside looked at the horses rushing past, immediately put down their hoes, and ran back to the county.

These five people are the entourage of the ghost fetus.

After the entourage entered the northern border, they returned to the meat vegetable garden, selected four high-level ones, and immediately returned to Nanliang.

Instead of going back the same way, they bypassed Yanmen Pass, bought a few fast horses at the horse market, and then passed along the original road, sometimes taking new paths and sometimes taking old paths.

After passing through Yun'an County, the five abandoned their horses and entered Shantou Village.

This is a fishing village, where Long Chen ambushed and killed Foyuanlou Situ Jing and Wen Shouyi back then.

After the five arrived at Shantou Village, they found an inn to rest.

"Are the guests here for business?"

The shop waiter warmly entertained, but the attendant kept silent and said coldly: "I want a room!"

The shop waiter smiled and said: "No problem, what do the guests want to eat? Eat in the lobby, or have it delivered to the room?"

The follower said coldly: "No need!"

The waiter in the shop felt strange, and said with a smile: "Guest, people are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, how can you not eat?"

The attendant realized the problem and immediately said, "Send it to the room."

The shop waiter asked again: "What do you want to eat?"

The attendant glanced at the menu on the wall and said, "One big herring, steamed, enough."

The waiter in the shop felt that these guests were strange, five of them had one big herring, and they didn't eat staple food.

"Okay, the guests go upstairs first, and it's the number E."

The five followers went upstairs, found the room, and rested in it.

Running all the way, no matter how healthy they are, they still need to rest.

When he went upstairs, Xiaoer said strangely: "Shopkeeper, this is the first time I have seen such a guest. Five people sleep in one room and eat one fish."

The shopkeeper also felt strange, and said: "Don't worry, hurry up and steam a big herring on it."

The waiter immediately asked the kitchen to prepare.

In the lobby, a guest who was eating noodles looked up, hurriedly ate a bowl of noodles, paid the bill, and the guest went out to the inn facing the street.

Entered the inn, went upstairs and entered the room, Yu Fuguo sat inside.

"Elder-in-law, they are here. There are five of them at the Yuelai Inn."

The spy said excitedly.

Yu Fuguo was overjoyed, and said: "King Wu's calculations are very accurate, there are only a few places to cross the river, this is one of them, and they really came."

"Go and stare at me, keep your eyes wide open for me, don't blink your eyelids!"

The spies immediately led people to monitor the Yuelai Inn.

in the inn.

Soon, the big herring was delivered to the upstairs room and placed on the table.

They didn't eat it, they just took out the jerky from their bodies and gnawed it slowly, and they didn't even drink water.

The people in Longxing Valley were poisoned by Long Chen, their followers did not dare to drink the water here, they only drank the river water and stream water on the road.

After eating the jerky, the five fell asleep.

The next morning, the rain stopped outside and the sun was shining brightly.

The entourage got up and opened the window, and the crowd outside was very lively.

The dazzling sunlight came in from the outside, and several people were not used to it.

These days, they try to travel at night as much as possible, and only travel during the day on cloudy and rainy days.

"The sun is too big, should we go?"

The four looked at the lead entourage and asked.

They don't have names, because no names are needed in a meat garden.

Everything about them is manipulated by ghosts, including their names.

They only have their own names when they are given names by ghost fetuses.

The lead attendant glanced at it and said, "The boats here sail during the day and not at night. Put on your bamboo hat and bear with it."

The sun makes them uncomfortable, but not unbearable, just as ordinary people are afraid of severe cold, but they don't freeze to death immediately.

The five people put on bamboo hats, and threw the coir raincoats in the room.

Go downstairs to the counter, the leader put the silver on the counter, don't change the money, go out to the pier.

When several people went out, a person took a look from a distance.

When they arrived at the pier, the five of them chose an ordinary boat with the word Zhou written on it.

After paying the money, the five boarded the boat and sat down in their seats.

"We're being watched."

A follower whispered.

The leader nodded slightly, and said, "Don't worry about it, just go down the river and you'll be in the south of the Yangtze River soon."

Jiangbei is the place of Great Zhou, as long as they go to Jiangnan, they don't have to worry about it.

"Guests, sit still, the boat is about to start, don't walk around, be careful of falling into the water."

The boatman shouted, the rope was untied, and the boat drifted downstream.
