From eunuch to emperor

"My lord, the boat is ready."

Wu Chuchu pointed to the pier in the distance, where there were more than 100 boats moored on the sea, all of which belonged to fishermen.

Wu Chuchu told the fishermen that Long Chen was going to Ghost Island to pacify the pirates, and the fishermen voluntarily took out the fishing boats as warships.

Long Chen looked at the sky, and said: "Rest here tonight, and leave tomorrow."

The army camped inland, and the fishermen knew that the officers and soldiers were coming, so they sent fish and rice one after another, Long Chen ordered them to accept them, but they gave money for everything.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Bai Tingting asked Wu Chuchu, "Why didn't you see the big ship?"

Wu Chuchu said helplessly: "The big boats have been robbed by pirates, and these small boats are still improvised."

Wu Jian said worriedly: "If the pirates take the initiative to attack, the situation will be very unfavorable for our small ship to fight against the big ship."

Wu Xiangyun said: "In fact, there are big ships, but...they belong to Nanliang, and they won't help us."

Everyone looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen smiled, and said: "Don't look at me, I chose to attack tomorrow just because the rising sea makes it easier to climb up to Ghost Island."

"I can think of this, and so can Mendoro. This is a fierce battle."

The rise in sea water can only allow the boat to avoid hidden reefs and shorten the distance to climb up to Ghost Island, nothing else has changed.

Mendorang has been a pirate for so many years, and he knows the ebb and flow of the tide better.

Long Chen didn't intend to use the tide to launch any sneak attack, the other party is not a fool.

"My lord, at sea, a small boat can't beat a big one."

Wu Xiangyun said in a low voice.

On choppy seas, big ships just need to run wild.

The boat will be knocked over, and the people on the boat will be the targets if they fall into the water. Arrows will be shot to end the battle.

Bai Tingting said regretfully, "It would be great if there was a big boat."

Long Chen suddenly thought of something, and asked Wu Xiangyun: "You said just now that there is a big ship from Nanliang, where are they?"

Wu Xiangyun said: "In the southeast, they fish whitebait in that sea at this time of year."

Wu Jian asked: "Is the boss of that fishing boat short and fat, with a mustache?"

Wu Xiangyun nodded and said, "Yes, how do you know?"

Wu Jian looked at Long Chen, Long Chen nodded slightly, Wu Jian got up and left the tent.

"Why did he go?"

Bai Tingting asked unhappily.

This girl fell in love with Long Chen for the first time, she thought that she was the only one who was closest to Long Chen in the whole world and could understand Long Chen's thoughts best.

But Wu Jian and Long Chen understood each other's thoughts just by exchanging glances, which made Bai Tingting very upset.

Long Chen smiled mysteriously: "He has a secret mission."

Both Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun were a little surprised, Wu Jian must have gone to find Nanliang's fishing boat, but why should Nanliang's fishing boat ignore Long Chen's order?

Bai Tingting complained: "You two eunuchs really have a good understanding."

Zhang Qian said with a smile: "That's right, Captain Wu was the one who performed Master Long's cleansing in the palace."

The three of Dugu Jiali lowered their heads and laughed secretly, embarrassed to look directly at Long Chen.

Bai Tingting felt something was wrong and said, "No, the two of them seem to have known each other for a long time. If Wu Jian and him are old acquaintances, how could Wu Jian castrate him?"

"You're not a fake eunuch, are you?"

Long Chen's heart was full of shit, it turned out that Bai Tingting was not stupid, he could guess it all.

"Come on, let's have a physical examination for you to see if I am a eunuch."

Long Chen stood up, pointing his crotch at Bai Tingting's face.

Bai Tingting turned around in disgust: "Are you disgusting, are you disgusting? This place makes me pissed off."

Long Chen sneered and said, "Scream your face? Be careful getting into your mouth!"

Bai Tingting was ashamed and angry, and cursed: "Disgusting, shameless!"

Zhang Qian quickly extinguished the fire and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's go check if the fishing boats are enough."

Zhang Qian pulled Bai Tingting out of the tent, and Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun went to help, leaving only Dugu Jiali in the tent.

"Uh... The last general also went out to check on the crossbowmen."

Dugu Jiali felt a little embarrassed, turned around and slipped out of the tent.

Everyone left, Long Chen sat in the tent meditating and practicing, waiting for news from Wu Jian.

If the prediction is correct, then the fishing boat should belong to Jin Luo. Wu Jian and Jin Luo have a deep friendship, so it should be no problem to ask him to help.

It's just that Long Chen's identity...

That night we camped by the sea.

The next morning, the fishermen's boat was ready, but Wu Jian still didn't come back.

Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun commanded officers and soldiers to board the ship. They are familiar with naval operations.

Bai Tingting looked at the sea in the distance from the pier, and asked anxiously, "Why hasn't dead old Wu come back?"

Long Chen asked: "Do you have a problem with Old Wu?"

Bai Tingting muttered, "Nonsense!"

Bai Tingting was wearing a white dress today, with a belt around her waist, and a sky-defying waist-to-hip ratio, so Long Chen couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Tingting scolded in a low voice.

Long Chen giggled and said: "You have a problem with Old Wu, is it because he cleaned me up?"

Long Chen stretched out his hand to touch it again, but Bai Tingting knocked it down with a palm, snorted coldly and remained silent.

Dugu Jiali came over and asked, "My lord, the soldiers are about to board the ship, are we still waiting?"

Dugu Jiali's crossbowmen hadn't boarded the boat yet, Long Chen planned to let them and other elites take the big boat to attack the island first.

"hold on."

Long Chen looked at the sea surface, the sea water had risen a lot, more than half of the pier was submerged, and the southeast sea breeze was blowing.

Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting looked anxiously at the sea to the southeast.

In the distance, several black dots appeared, and then they floated quickly by the southeast wind.

"The big ship in Nanliang!"

Wu Chuchu looked around and shouted in surprise.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Isn't this here?"

The ship approached and saw twelve large ships. The leading flagship was comparable to a large ship. Standing on the bow was Wu Jian and a short, fat man with a mustache. This man was Jin Luo, the boss of the largest fishing boat in Nanliang.

When the fishermen saw the fleet, they came to watch the fun.

The fleet stopped, and Wu Jian and Jin Luo jumped off the bow and landed on the pier.

"This is Lord Long Chengen I told you about."

"My lord, this is Jin Luo."

Long Chen saluted politely: "Thank you Boss Jin for your help."

Jin Luo's face was rough and dark, but his gaze was like a torch. He stared at Long Chen for a long time, and suddenly his mustache raised. He laughed and said, "Why should you be polite, my lord? It's a small honor to be able to do things for you again."

"Brothers are aboard!"

Jin Luo yelled happily, the sailors lowered the gangway, and Dugu Jiali and the elite soldiers boarded.

Jin Luo's fleet was very large, and some of the soldiers who had boarded the small boats were assigned to the larger ships.

Wu Chuchu felt very strange, why Wu Jian could persuade Jin Luo, and Long Chen seemed to have old friends with Jin Luo.

"Sexy, do you know him?"

Bai Tingting also noticed something was wrong.

Long Chen put his arms around Bai Tingting's slender waist, and said with a smile: "Guess, I'll give you a reward if you guess right."

Bai Tingting asked, "What reward?"

Long Chen touched the bottom, Bai Tingting quickly pushed Long Chen away.

The soldiers boarded the boat, Long Chen was at the bow, Wu Jian, Dugu Jiali and a group of generals were behind.

Jin Luo, the boat boss, was sitting not far away drinking wine, looking at Long Chen in a trance.

"set off!"

With an order from Long Chen, the sails were raised, and the fleet broke through the waves and headed towards Ghost Island.
