From eunuch to emperor

Although the soldiers in Qingren County fled, there were still more than 60 soldiers, and there were only 35 soldiers and horses in Linhu City.

Of course, there are soldiers from the Long Family Army and the Beidaying Army in Linhu City, they are all elite, even if there are many ghost fetuses, it is not a problem.

The most worrying thing is the ghost. If he leads Li Chengdao to attack the city, the empress alone will not be able to resist it.

Yingfeng also said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that Mrs. Ziyun and Miaoyin's landlord be added as reinforcements, as well as Zhang Qian and the others."

"Many people are strong, even if King Wu can't come back, we should have no problem defending with so many people."

The ghost fetus is very powerful, and the empress will definitely not be able to beat it alone.

If you add Master Ziyun, the landlord Miaoyin, and Di Luoxi, Di Lingyi, and Zhang Qian, it shouldn't be a problem to defend Linhu City.

The empress nodded slightly and said: "Okay, pass the order immediately and let them all come to defend."

It is impossible to predict when Long Chen will come back, the Empress must prepare for the worst.

Yingfeng delivered the decree immediately.

In the Ministry of War in the city, Wang Wei was looking at the documents of his subordinates.

Wang Wei's excuse for coming to Linhu City was to train soldiers. When he got here, he naturally had to put on a show and organize the prisoners for training.

A little girl came in through the window and walked gently to Wang Wei's side.

This person is Xiao Yu'er, Wang Wei's personal envoy.

When Wang Wei usually works in the room, everyone goes out and does not need anyone to serve him.

This is of course for the convenience of the little fish to come in.

"Wang Shangshu is very busy."

Xiao Yuer walked over with a giggle, Wang Wei was startled, and immediately put down the paperwork.

"You're here? What's your business?"

Xiao Yu'er walked to the case, stood on tiptoe, reached out to grab the document to look at it, and said: "The emperor asked me to ask you, do you know where Long Chen is?"

Li Chengdao had already returned to Qingren County. After discussing with the ghost, he felt that something was wrong. Long Chen might really not be in the city.

In order to confirm whether Long Chen was there, Li Chengdao sent Xiao Yuer over to ask.

Wang Wei shook his head and said: "Where is Long Chen, I'm afraid only the empress knows, and no one else knows."

"The only thing I can be sure of is that Long Chen is still here, even if he is not in Linhu City, he is also in the surrounding cities."

The order Wang Wei got was to insist that Long Chen was still in the city, and he would not let the devil act rashly.

Xiao Yu'er stared into Wang Wei's eyes for a long time, then slowly nodded and said, "Why do you say that?"

Wang Wei said: "The soldiers and horses are still being mobilized, Long Chen wants to capture Zhangcheng, and deliberately hides his whereabouts."

Xiao Yu'er said coldly: "Now that Zhangcheng has withdrawn his troops, when will Long Chen attack?"

Zhangcheng's soldiers and horses have retreated, if Long Chen is in the city, he should send troops.

Wang Wei was surprised: "Zhangcheng withdrew his troops? Why?"

He didn't know the news yet, so he was really surprised.

Xiao Yu'er sneered and said: "It's useless, I don't know what's going on outside, I'm waiting for you, you must give me an accurate answer today, whether Long Chen is here or not!"

Wang Wei nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll go and find out."

With a flash, Xiao Yu'er came out of Wang Wei's room.

After the person left, Wang Wei felt that something was wrong.

Obviously, the ghost has become suspicious, and this matter must be reported to the Empress.

Picking up a memorial, Wang Wei walked quickly to the empress's courtyard.

When I got to the door, I happened to see Yingfeng, who had just sent someone to deliver a message to Diaoyu City.

"Wang Shangshu, do you have something to report?"

Yingfeng asked with a smile.

Wang Wei said with a gloomy face, "There is something urgent."

Yingfeng immediately brought Wang Wei into the room, and before Yingfeng informed, Wang Wei said first: "My lord, just now Li Chengdao's special envoy came to find Weichen and asked if King Wu is in the city. Today we must give an accurate answer!"

Wang Wei actually didn't know about Long Chen's presence in the city, because the empress didn't tell him the truth.

The empress told Wang Wei that Long Chen was indeed in the city, so Wang Wei also told Li Chengdao that Long Chen was in ambush inside the city.

The empress did this because she couldn't trust Wang Wei.

For such an important matter, if Wang Wei knows that Long Chen is not there, if he really informs, it will be over.

Wang Wei felt that the empress said this on purpose, the so-called falsehood, deliberately said that Long Chen was there, and the ghost would suspect that Long Chen was not there.

The empress laughed and said: "I heard that Li Chengdao is suspicious, and it really is suspicious. I have told him, and he still comes to ask?"

"You told the truth, why didn't Li Chengdao believe it?"

In fact, the empress was very nervous. She thought the news had leaked out and she had to ask what was going on.

Wang Wei said: "The special envoy said that Liu Feibai withdrew from Zhangcheng, why didn't King Wu attack?"

The empress thought to herself: So it's because of this.

Before, Long Chen pretended to be in the city, just relying on increasing troops in the direction of Zhangcheng.

Now that Liu Feibai took the initiative to withdraw his troops, if Long Chen did not occupy Zhangcheng, it would seem unreasonable.

"It turned out that it was because of this. Liu Feibai did withdraw his troops, but I heard that there was an ambush in the city, so I asked King Wu to stand still for the time being, and we will talk about it in two days."

"Oh, Li Chengdao doesn't believe it, so what should I say?"

The empress leaned back on the chair with a funny look on her face.

Yingfeng laughed cooperatively: "Why don't you tell Li Chengdao that King Wu is not here?"

The Empress laughed and said: "I think it's okay, since he doesn't believe it, then tell Li Chengdao that Long Chen is not here."

Wang Wei looked confused, and asked awkwardly: "Then...what did the minister say?"

The empress knocked on the table and said, "Let's just say that Long Chen is not here, let's see how Li Chengdao reacts."

Wang Wei bowed and said, "This humble minister leads the decree."

After exiting the room, Wang Wei returned to the courtyard of the Ministry of War.

After the person left, Yingfeng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I'm suspicious, and the news of King Wu's absence may not be kept secret for long."

The empress looked sad, and said: "I know, but... Long Chen went to the grassland, we can't get in touch now, even if we are exposed, we can only bear it by ourselves."

Yingfeng said: "I urge Master Ziyun to come here sooner."

The Empress nodded, and it was the only way to go now.

When Wang Wei returned to the room, Xiao Yu'er came out from behind the screen and asked, "How? Where is Long Chen?"

Wang Wei looked suspicious, and said: "The empress just said that Long Chen is not here."

Xiao Yu'er's complexion changed suddenly, his two small eyes narrowed into a line, and he asked, "Then where is Long Chen?"

Every time Long Chen disappears, something big will come out, just like the last time, when he disappeared for a month, Li Zhaoliang proclaimed himself emperor.

Wang Wei shook his head and said: "I asked, but the empress didn't tell me, I'm afraid I'd be suspected if I asked too much. The empress said just now that Long Chen was not in the city."

Xiao Yuer stared at Wang Wei for a long time, then threatened: "Wang Wei, did you betray Daliang?"

Wang Wei was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said, "How dare I, if the emperor reveals my identity, I will definitely die!"

"Long Chen wanted to kill me a long time ago, if it wasn't for my status as Minister of the Ministry of War, he would have done it long ago."

"How dare I betray Daliang, I don't want to die!"

Xiao Yu'er said coldly: "It's good to know, your life is in Daliang's hands, if you dare to betray, you will die a miserable death!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu'er flew out of the room.
