From eunuch to emperor

Gan Xin tapped his pipe and the ash fell out.

"It's not a mistake, is it?"

After searching for so long, there was no clue at all, and Gan Xin felt depressed.

Mo Lin also suspected that the map given by Long Chen was wrong.

"Xiao Feng, will you be deceived?"

Feng He shook his head, and said very firmly: "No, you know what your lord does, and you are very cautious. If he is not sure, he won't let us look for it."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin also knew that Long Chen was always meticulous in his work, and it was impossible to talk nonsense.

Feng He looked at the flock of sheep in the distance and said, "Go over and ask, if it doesn't work, go back, we've been out for a long time."

Feng He led a dozen people slowly towards the herdsmen.

The relationship between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the barbarians eased. The two sides traded at Yanmen Pass, and Tuzhi was very strict, and the relationship between the two sides was good.

So when Feng He walked over, the herdsmen were not afraid.

"Do you have herbs to sell?"

Feng He smiled and walked over, a dark-skinned man stopped and said, "Yes."

A middle-aged woman was very happy, and immediately asked her son to drive the carriage over, and there were some dried herbs in a patched cloth bag.

"It's all herbs."

The man jumped off the horse and opened the bag to show Feng He.

Feng He asked his men to negotiate the price, and the man said that he didn't want money, but tea, salt, cloth, swords and other practical things.

There is very little money on the grassland, and bartering is more efficient and more practical.

Feng He has long been used to trading in the grassland, and his subordinates immediately brought tea cakes and salt, and the man was very happy.

In exchange for tea cakes and salt, the middle-aged woman picked out some cloth, and the young man asked for a dagger.

"Very good, I am very satisfied."

The middle-aged man said happily.

Feng He chatted with the man and asked, "Is there any place around here that has a lot of herbs? If you tell me, I will give you a good thing."

With that said, Feng He took down a box containing a recurve bow.

When the herdsman's son saw the recurve bow, he picked it up and tried it, and said excitedly, "Father, this bow is very good."

Herdsmen's bows are made of ordinary wood, and the materials and craftsmanship are very ordinary.

The recurve bow brought by Feng He made their eyes straight.

The man picked up the recurve bow and rubbed it repeatedly, and said, "There is a place, but it is a forbidden place, and it is very dangerous."

Gan Xin immediately asked: "Where?"

The man's excited face was full of fear, and he said, "It's a ghost land, anyone who enters will die."

The woman also said with fear: "Everyone who enters will become a bone and cannot enter there."

Feng He immediately asked: "Where is it? Which direction."

Both men and women looked fearful and reluctant to mention it again.

But the herdsman's son wanted a recurve bow very much, pointed to the northeast and said, "There is a mountain like a white bone with many bones around it, that's it."

"You can find herbs there, but there is a wolf god guarding it, and anyone who gets close will die."

Gan Xin and Mo Lin's eyes lit up, they felt that it might be there.

Mo Lin asked: "You tell me the route, this bow is yours."

After speaking, Mo Lin picked up the recurve bow, bent the bow and shot the arrow in one go, and the feathered arrow flew almost 1000 meters.

The herdsman's son was dumbfounded.

"Start from here, head in this direction, look at the Twin Wolf Star, and walk there in two days."

There are no routes to walk on the grassland. Guided by the sky, the twin wolves are very conspicuous on summer nights.

Feng He was overjoyed in his heart, but he said: "We went to such a dangerous place, we didn't want to die."

Gan Xin also said: "It's too dangerous, we won't go."

The herdsman's son became anxious and said, "You asked me where I got it, and I told you, but if you didn't give me the bow, you lied to me."

Feng He smiled and threw the recurve bow and feather arrows over, and said, "We Dazhou people never lie to others. Although we won't go, the bow is yours."

The herdsman's son was very happy, holding a bow and smiling, "Yes, you Dazhou people are better than Xixia people."

Feng got on his horse and said, "Okay, let's go."

More than a dozen people left slowly, and the herdsmen held their recurve bows and happily drove the sheep to continue nomadic.

Feng He said: "Let's go for a while?"

Mo Lin said, "Take a walk, after searching for so long, I finally have a direction."

Gan Xin said: "It looks quite dangerous, don't have too many people, just the three of us."

Feng He asked the others to go back to Yanmen Pass first, and the three of them rested on the spot, preparing to set off the next day and take a trip to the forbidden area.

...

Li Chengdao led his troops back to Qingren County slowly, and Liu Feibai withdrew his troops into the camp.

When Li Chengdao entered the palace, he sneered coldly and said, "Not bad, not a single soldier was lost, retreat safely."

Li Chengdao immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and replied: "It's all due to the might of the Holy Son, the Empress is worried that the Holy Son is lurking in the army, so she dare not go out to fight."

The ghost sneered and said: "It's good to know, don't think this is your ability, this is my deterrent."

There is no need for Li Chengdao to explain the truth, the ghost will naturally know it.

"Is Long Chen in the city?"

Li Chengdao reported truthfully: "I didn't see it. The slave called for Long Chen by name, but only saw the empress."

The ghost asked: "Then do you think Long Chen is in the city?"

Li Chengdao thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Shouldn't be here, if Long Chen is in the city, with his arrogant character, he will definitely fight."

The ghost sneered sinisterly: "Trash, I asked you to find out the news, but you didn't find out the shit!"

"Tell you, Long Chen is in the city, but you walk in front, he back!"

Li Chengdao was astonished, and said with a sneer: "If you rely on you to inquire about the news, I have already become deaf and blind."

Li Chengdao was ashamed, lying on the ground unable to answer a word.

The ghost said coldly: "Jinling City is empty, your throne is up to you!"

Li Chengdao kowtowed and said: "The slave is leading the order."

After exiting Prince Qingren's Mansion, Li Chengdao found Liu Feibai and said, "Order [-] soldiers and horses, gather in the east of the city!"

Liu Feibai heard about Jinling City and understood Li Chengdao's intentions.

"The last general takes orders."

Liu Feibai ordered [-] troops immediately and gathered in the east of the city to wait for Li Chengdao's order.

Back in the yard, Li Chengdao called Zhong Gui to his room.

"Li Zhaoliang rebelled in Jinling, I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and you will command the troops to put down the rebellion!"

There is only one general in Qingren County, Liu Feibai, and it is impossible for Li Chengdao to let Liu Feibai lead his troops back to suppress the rebellion.

Counting the whole city, Zhong Gui has the highest cultivation level, and his cultivation level barely reached Emperor Wu.

"Your Majesty, this slave has never led an army before in battle."

Zhong Gui was very worried, he had been following Li Chengdao to sort out the affairs of the palace, and he didn't know how to fight at all.

Li Chengdao said: "There is no need to worry, you can follow the real plan."

Li Chengdao ordered them one by one, and Zhong Gui wrote them down carefully.

After finishing all the orders, Li Chengdao personally sent Zhong Gui out of the city.

Originally, the best choice was for Li Chengdao to lead the troops back by himself, but there is a problem with this. If Li Chengdao is not around, in case Long Chen and the Empress sneak attack, the ghost may not be able to withstand it.

Also, in case Long Chen sneaked into Jinling again and Li Chengdao fought alone, he would be beheaded.

Therefore, after weighing again and again, Li Chengdao decided to let Zhong Gui lead the army.

Zhong Gui is loyal enough, and his cultivation level is enough to deal with the Jinling gang.
