From eunuch to emperor

When returning to Linhu City from Jinling, Long Chen happened to meet Ji Zhang.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ji Zhang thanked Long Chen for bestowing the exercises, saying that his cultivation had improved a lot.

Then asked Long Chen if there was anything he could do?

It happened that Long Chen needed someone who could defend Jinling, so he asked Ji Zhang to defend Jinling.

After Zhong Gui's army arrived, Ji Zhang led his men into the camp to assassinate Zhong Gui and the general.

Ji Zhang led his men to disrupt the barracks again, creating opportunities for Liu Lan and Song Ding.

Ji Zhang's cultivation level is not low, as long as it's not a ghost fetus or Li Chengdao himself, he can kill him.

As for Liu Lan and Song Ding, the one who did it was naturally Yu Fuguo.

Long Chen must hold Li Zhaoliang to the emperor's seat.

There is no one available in the palace, the only available minister is Huairen, he is just a civil servant.

Long Chen wants to control all the troops in Jinling, so Liu Lan and Song Ding must die.

And tonight's scuffle is a great opportunity.

Yu Fuguo infiltrated the army and took the opportunity to assassinate the two of them, and things would be easy after that.

After a night of melee, the garrison and the imperial army returned victorious. When Li Zhaoliang greeted them at the west gate, he found that both of them were dead.

Li Zhaoliang asked what was going on, and a young general stepped forward to report: "The battle was very fierce last night. There are hidden masters in the enemy camp. Both Eunuch Liu and Commander Song were killed."

This young general is from Xichang, named Fang Zhen.

Li Zhaoliang asked in surprise: "Aside from Zhong Gui, are there any masters?"

Fang Zhen replied: "Yes, that person killed Eunuch Liu and Commander Song."

Huairen asked anxiously, "Where did that man go? Is he dead?"

Fang Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, our army won a big victory, that man should be dead."

Li Zhaoliang's face was solemn, and he said: "Our army has won a great victory, God bless Daliang, let's hold a celebration banquet!"

In any case, the defense battle was won and Li Zhaoliang gained a firm footing, which is worth celebrating.

The army immediately returned to the city. Everyone knew that Li Zhaoliang defeated Li Chengdao's army, and all the officials in the city were shocked.

Li Chengdao was good at using troops, while Li Zhaoliang was just a wealthy prince, with only the garrison and the imperial army in his hands, he never expected to win instead.

The ministers who wavered and wanted to surrender were beating their hearts, wondering whether they should contact Li Chengdao.

When the army was celebrating the victory, Li Zhaoliang hurried back to the palace, and immediately sent someone to discuss matters with Yu Fuguo.

Soon, Yu Fuguo arrived at the imperial study, and Li Zhaoliang asked, "What happened last night? Why did Liu Lan and Song Ding die in battle?"

Yu Fuguo looked sad, and replied: "Your Majesty... the Shadow Dragon is dead!"

Li Zhaoliang was stunned, and asked in surprise: "How is it possible, Yinglong's cultivation base is so high!"

The worst thing happened.

When I heard that Liu Lan and Song Ding died in battle, Li Zhaoliang was most worried about the shadow dragon.

He kept praying secretly, hoping that Shadow Dragon was okay.

Yu Fuguo red eyes and cried: "Last night after Yinglong assassinated Zhong Gui, he was charging in the army. He saw Eunuch Liu and Commander Song being killed. Yinglong fought with that man and both died in battle."

Li Zhaoliang sighed, "How could this happen?"

Yu Fuguo wiped away his tears, and said: "The emperor mourns, the officers and soldiers defeated Zhong Gui, and the shadow dragon deservedly died."

Li Zhaoliang lamented: "When I was about to rely on Shadow Dragon, he left me..."

Liao Houqi became more and more frightened. He had seen Shadow Dragon's methods before, and such powerful people were killed in battle.

Controlling the military power seems to be beautiful, but it actually puts oneself on the verge of life and death.

"The three important ministers I relied on were all killed...how can this be done?"

Li Zhaoliang felt that there was no one available around him, and he was very anxious.

Yu Fuguo paid homage: "There are many capable ministers in the prince's mansion, and this old slave feels that Eunuch Liao..."

Liao Houqi immediately said: "Grand Yu won the award. I have never led the army, so I really don't know about the military."

Li Zhaoliang glanced at Liao Houqi, and said, "I'm afraid I have to trouble Mr. Yu to choose someone for this matter."

Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old slave has already recommended a group of people, if he recommends someone to lead the garrison and the imperial army, it will cause rumors and gossip, please the emperor to decide."

Li Zhaoliang shook his head and said: "Who would say, who knows that Eunuch Yu is by my side!"

"Da Liang is about to rely on his father-in-law, so father-in-law Yu must not doubt himself."

Yu Fuguo still declined, saying: "It's not right, I don't want to bear a bad name."

Li Zhaoliang said displeased: "Can't you bear a bad name for the court?"

Yu Fuguo's face was troubled, he hesitated for a long time before bowing: "The old slave leads the order."

Li Zhaoliang urged: "No delay in recommending suitable candidates to lead the garrison and the imperial army within three days."

Yu Fuguo salutes and leaves.

After the people left, Li Zhaoliang asked, "Why don't you want to lead the army again?"

Liao Houqi faltered and said: "This slave can't..."

Li Zhaoliang snorted coldly: "You see them die in battle, don't you want it?"

Liao Houqi was speechless...

...

When Yu Fuguo returned to Qi's wine shop, Lu Ji hurried over and asked, "Is your father-in-law okay?"

Yu Fuguo sat down with a smile, and said, "What can happen to our family, my lord is really ingenious, everything is in his calculations."

Lu Ji poured tea for Yu Fuguo, and said with a smile, "That's because Mr. Yu is doing his job well."

Yu Fuguo shook his head and sighed, "Step by step, this emperor seems to belong to Li Zhaoliang, but actually belongs to King Wu."

Lu Ji said: "The new army, the garrison army, and the forbidden army are all under our control, and Jinling City is under our control."

Yu Fuguo said: "Choose two people right away, and our family will recommend them to Li Zhaoliang in two days."

Lu Ji immediately went to select candidates.

...

Qingren County.

The news of Zhong Gui's defeat soon arrived. When Li Chengdao heard that Zhong Gui was killed and the army was broken, his face was extremely ugly.

"Long Chen is in Linhu City, who can kill Zhong Gui among the [-] troops?"

"Di Luoxi? Di Lingyi? No, they never left."

After Zhong Gui set off, Li Chengdao kept paying attention to the movement of Linhu City.

If Long Chen leaves, or Emperor Luoxi makes a move, Li Chengdao sets off immediately.

But Linhu City was very quiet, Long Chen was inside the city, and no one else was moving.

Who killed Zhong Gui?Could it be Yu Fuguo?Impossible, Yu Fuguo and Zhong Gui have almost the same level of cultivation.

He Mengsheng came in in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, my son, please go over to discuss matters."

Li Chengdao understood what was going on, and immediately entered the palace.

The ghost looked at Li Chengdao coldly, and said sarcastically: "One hundred thousand elite soldiers were defeated by ten thousand weak soldiers, Zhong Gui was killed, what are you going to do?"

Li Chengdao was a little helpless, and said: "Long Chen still has dark forces, this attack must be from Long Chen's people, we don't know about this person."

The ghost also felt strange, Long Chen's generals were all in Linhu City, how could there be anyone else?

"Go and find out who it is."

The ghost gave the order, and Li Chengdao immediately bowed: "The servant obeys the order."

Guitu returned to the topic just now, and asked, "What are you going to do? You won't be able to defeat the elite soldiers, and Jinling City will soon be gone."
