From eunuch to emperor

Linhu City.

After several battles, the Long family army rested on the spot.

Beiling City was only defended by a small number of soldiers, and the same was true for Zhongwu City, leaving only a few thousand defenders. .?0?4?0?2m

He Juntao entered Long Chen's room with the information ahead, and Di Lingyi was still resting on the couch.

Long Chen asked the two sisters to spend the night each to save them from arguing. It was Di Lingyi's turn last night, so he hadn't gotten up yet.

"My lord, princess..."

He Juntao felt a little embarrassed when he saw it outside the door.

Di Lingyi slowly got up, picked up the clothes on the bed and put them on.

"Princess."

Di Lingyi got up to go out, and He Juntao saluted again.

Di Lingyi nodded and went out.

"How is the situation in Qingren County?"

Long Chen coughed dryly to resolve the embarrassing situation.

He Juntao was used to it, so he pretended not to see it.

"The devil ordered the training. Li Chengdao and Liu Feibai set up a military camp outside the city to practice. It seems that they don't plan to attack."

"In addition, the military department is still recruiting troops, and the household department is making weapons."

Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "After several major defeats, there are not many elite soldiers left in Nanliang, and the ghosts know how to train soldiers."

There are no elite soldiers in Nanliang now, and almost all the generals have been killed. Do you want to attack by force?

Long Chen still had almost 40 elite soldiers in his hands, and the 20 Long family army suffered little losses. The soldiers and horses of the North Camp were useless, and with the soldiers and horses of Linjiang City and Li Xiannan, a strong attack would not be impossible.

It's just that the city of Qingren County is strong, and the price of a storm will be very miserable.

"There is also news from Qingren County that Guitai somehow obtained the formula of gunpowder and the craft of forging guns and cannons."

"Military Minister Yu Ziming started to build a forge on the mountain in the southeast of Qingren County. I heard that he plans to build artillery."

Long Chen frowned and said: "Linglong Pavilion has indeed been infiltrated by ghost fetuses, it's not surprising that the production method of muskets and cannons has been leaked."

"It's okay, let them build it. It takes time to build, and it takes time to train Musketeers."

"Let's do it before the ghosts train new recruits."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and technology will leak out sooner or later.

It's not surprising that ghosts build gunpowder, Long Chen had already expected it.

The process of making gunpowder is very dangerous. When the time comes to send people into the forge and cause a few explosions, it will be difficult for Nanliang's musketeers to form.

He Juntao felt that this made sense.

"How is the progress in Yufu Country?"

Long Chen sent Yu Fuguo to infiltrate Jinling City, and urged Wu'an King Li Zhaoliang to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and established a new court to confront Li Chengdao's court.

In this way, Nanliang was split and two emperors were created, making it impossible for Li Chengdao to call on the people of Nanliang.

He Juntao said: "Last time, Yu Fuguo said that he had met Li Zhaoliang, and Li Zhaoliang was also tempted. There is no information recently."

"I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to do. If you want to support a new emperor, you need manpower. Yu Fuguo's small number of people may not be enough."

Even though Li Chengdao and Guitai were confronting each other on the front line, no one was in charge of Jinling City.

But Li Zhaoliang didn't have anyone under his command, and it would be difficult to accomplish anything with Yu Fuguo's dozens of people alone.

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said: "What you said makes sense, there's nothing you can do if you don't have enough manpower."

He Juntao asked: "Does your lord want to go there in person?"

Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to go there in person, I'm afraid Yu Fuguo alone is not enough."

He Juntao worriedly said: "My lord is not here, what if a sneak attack occurs?"

The empress alone is no match for ghosts, and Long Chen's absence is very dangerous.

Long Chen said: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, I'll let the wind out first and talk about retreating and practicing."

"The ghost must suspect that I am not there, and will send someone to test it."

"When the time comes when I reappear, the ghost will know that I am cheating and will not come again."

The method of seclusion has been used many times, Long Chen intends to repeat the old trick.

He Juntao nodded and said, "That makes sense, then I'll go to Jinling first?"

Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, you are right here, keep an eye on Qingren County for me, and report back immediately if there is any abnormality in the ghost fetus."

In Long Chen's absence, intelligence is the key.

If the information can be obtained before the ghost fetus acts, the empress can take the initiative.

He Juntao nodded slightly, she understood the reason.

"Okay, let the wind out and say that I am practicing with the two princesses in the city."

He Juntao let the wind out immediately.

...

Qingren County.

In a yard, Bu Zining was playing with Chunxiu in his arms, throwing his clothes on the ground, and Chunxiu looked out through the window.

After Xuanjizi's death, Chunxiu had no one to rely on, but Buzining saw the right moment, and played with this teacher's wife.

"How am I better than Master?"

Bu Zining asked quite proudly.

Chunxiu laughed softly: "Of course he is better than your master. Your master is just a bit more experienced. He can't compare to you."

As the saying goes, Chang'e loves young people, Xuanjizi is old after all, and Chunxiu thinks it's better to keep her body at ease.

Bu Zining giggled and said, "As long as Master likes it, I will serve you every day in the future."

Chunxiu was a little worried, and said: "Your master is dead, and you don't have any official position in the court, what shall we do in the future?"

Bu Zining stopped and poured a cup of tea, feeling a little worried.

"This matter...I'm still trying to figure it out."

While talking, a person came in from the outside, it was Zhong Gui.

"Eunuch, why are you here?"

Bu Zining immediately got up to greet him.

Xuanjizi can not give Zhong Gui face, but he dare not.

Zhong Gui glanced at the disheveled Chunxiu, walked slowly to Bu Zining, and said, "Our family has something to look for you."

Bu Zining bowed respectfully: "Eunuch, please tell me."

Zhong Gui made a sudden move and punched Bu Zining in the heart. Bu Zining was unprepared and hit the wall with his body.

Before Bu Zining could get up, Zhong Gui had arrived and broke Bu Zining's neck.

Chunxiu watched the whole process, she was frightened and stupid.

After killing Bu Zining, Zhong Gui turned around and broke Chunxiu's neck.

"Dog men and women."

Xuanjizi insulted the harem, and Zhong Gui always wanted to take revenge.

When Xuanjizi was around, Zhong Gui couldn't beat Xuanjizi, and he was protected by ghosts.

Now that Xuanjizi has been arrested, the ghost fetus has to rely on Li Chengdao to train troops and fight wars, so there is no need to keep Bu Zining, a pair of dogs and men.

Moreover, Xuanjizi was arrested, and Zhong Gui had an excuse to kill them.

Xuanjizi surrendered to the enemy and treasoned, Buzining must be killed.

After finishing the two men and women, Zhong Gui went back to the courtyard where Li Chengdao was, and happened to be looking for Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao followed into King Qingren's mansion, sitting under a tree, feeding the chicken with a bowl of rice in his hand.

In the past few days, Guitai suddenly fell in love with feeding chickens, and sat in the yard when he had nothing to do.

"The servant pays homage to the Holy Son."

Li Chengdao prayed to the ghost fetus.

The ghost didn't look at Li Chengdao, the rice in his hand was scattered on the ground, and the rooster ran over and clucked and clucked, pecking at the rice grains non-stop.

"I heard that Long Chen is retreating in Linhu City, and sent someone to see if it is true."

"Every time this guy talks about retreating, he is doing things secretly."

When Xixia was destroyed back then, Long Chen often used retreat as an excuse, but in fact he had sneaked into Xixia.

The ghost was worried that Long Chen would repeat his old tricks, so he asked Li Chengdao to investigate.
