From eunuch to emperor

"I do not know either."

Yu Wenkai smiled with a very embarrassed expression.

It's very embarrassing to talk about shame with two juniors.

"The old general doesn't know either."

The empress looked at Long Chen disappointedly.

Long Chen said: "Old General, I thought of a possibility, you three listen."

The three of Yu Wenkai looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen said: "I guess the meaning of the words "long and phoenix intercourse" is not that, but an exchange of blood."

Long Chen expressed his guess.

The three of Yu Wenkai were all taken aback for a moment, and then showed doubts and surprises.

The three of them remained silent for a long time.

Long Chen waited for a long time, and asked, "Old General, what do you think?"

Yu Wenkai has the oldest qualifications, so you must ask Yu Wenkai about this matter.

"This... You say it like this, I feel it is possible, when General Long and General Di came back, they were very different."

Yu Wenkai recalled the events of that year, and felt that Long Chen's guess was reasonable.

"Why is it different?"

The Empress immediately asked, Long Chen also wanted to know what was different.

Yu Wenkai said: "I am a half-ghost body. As you know, the blood of the Long family and the Di family is special, and I can feel it."

"After General Long and General Di left the customs, the blood in their bodies seemed to have changed."

"I didn't think much about it at the time, I thought it was because of the interlinkage of blood after cultivation."

"Now that you say it, I think it makes sense."

"However, this is just my feeling. I have no way of knowing whether General Long and General Di have exchanged blood."

Long Chen looked at Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue, wanting to ask for their opinions.

Yang Hu looked at Tan Wenyue, shook his head slightly and said, "I... don't seem to feel anything."

Tan Wenyue scratched his temples and recalled: "It seems that there is such a thing. After General Long's retreat, the feeling is indeed quite different."

After all, it's all guesswork from the three of them, there is no exact number.

"That's it..."

The Empress looked at Long Chen, waiting for Long Chen's decision.

Long Chen didn't speak for a long time.

This matter is all based on speculation, it is too difficult for Long Chen to decide.

"The ghost clan will be here soon. If we can't improve our cultivation, we are no match for martial saints and ghost girls."

Long Chen sighed long, thinking why Long Yuan and Di Feng didn't write this matter down?

The empress had the same thought in her heart, Taizu Di Feng left behind the jade book, but did not mention this matter.

"Hey..."

Long Chen sat down and let out a long sigh.

After a long silence, Yu Wenkai said: "Don't worry, Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl are here, we will stand in front."

The empress stood up and said, "Thank you three old generals."

Yu Wenkai got up, Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue exited the imperial study.

After closing the door, the Empress asked, "What do you think?"

Long Chen said: "Not sure, the risk is very high."

It is good if the blood exchange is successful, but if it fails, both of them may die.

The empress asked: "When you were in Shengxue Peak, why didn't they die after changing blood?"

Long Chen said about the Shengxue Peak, those higher-ups would replace it with the blood of meat and vegetables, so as to prolong their lifespan.

Their blood was not strictly matched, it was simply distributed, and those people did not die.

"The person who gets the blood will not die, but the person who gets the blood will die."

The meat and vegetables whose blood was drained will die. This is a way of exchanging one life for another.

"If there is no other way, I will give you my blood."

The Empress spoke her mind.

The Empress thinks that Long Chen is smarter, has better aptitude, and he is more valuable to survive.

When it was time for help, the Empress had no choice but to sacrifice herself and give Long Chen a final push so that Long Chen could defeat the ghost clan.

"What did you say."

Long Chen immediately rejected the empress' idea.

The two fell silent again.

"How about... give it a try? If the situation is not good, stop halfway."

The empress looked at Long Chen.

Long Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go prepare."

A blood exchange requires a lot of things, at least the cold jade coffin must be available.

Long Chen opened the door and went out, and immediately prepared the necessary things.

...

South of the prairie.

Martial Saint and Ghost Girl rode steeds, and Ghost Tai, Qin Hao, and Demon Ling followed behind.

Wu Sheng ran very fast, and the horse's nose sprayed out white mist.

"Husband, take a rest."

The ghost girl saw that the horse was about to reach its limit when she sat down, so she suggested to take a rest before moving forward.

Wu Sheng stopped, and the army behind him slowly stopped.

"How far is Yanmen Pass?"

Wu Sheng asked a question, and the ghost immediately replied: "There are still three days to go."

Wu Sheng has been asleep for too long, and he can't remember clearly.

"Three days, take a break."

Wu Sheng dismounted from his horse, and the army dismounted to rest on the spot.

The demon helped the ghost girl to dismount and rest.

The ground in the south of the grassland is covered with green grass, unlike the desolation in the north.

The war horse lowered its head and gnawed on the grass, kneeling on the ground to rest a little bit.

It was the first time for the ghost soldiers to see the real grassland, and the green grass made them feel strange.

"Is this grass? Is that a tree? What is flying in the sky?"

The ghost soldier looked at everything around him curiously, just like Long Chen felt curious when he entered the ice field.

The demon watched the ghost soldiers take off their animal skin clothes one by one. Some male ghost soldiers even wore only a pair of shorts.

"Your Majesty, it's getting hotter and hotter. I'm worried they won't be able to take it."

The ghost girl looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is on our side, as long as the sun doesn't shine, we can bear it."

The ice field where the ghost clan is located is dark and has never been exposed to the sun.

If the clouds cleared and the sun was scorching, these ghost soldiers would be dried as salted fish.

"The Yanmen Pass must be broken before the clouds clear, and Long Chen must not be allowed to escape to Nanliang."

Priest Demon Spirit looked to the south with resentment in his eyes.

Last time in Storm Canyon, Long Chen almost killed her, and was forced to a desperate situation by a junior, this feeling of shame could not be appeased in his heart.

After resting for a long time, Wu Sheng got on his horse, and the army continued to march south.

...

Yanmen Pass.

Hundreds of carriages drove into the pass, and a new batch of weapons from Linglong Pavilion arrived.

Wu Jian and Yu Fuguo checked them personally, some were put into storage, and some were immediately moved to the gate.

"What is this?"

Yu Fuguo looked at something like a stove, and there were some long sticks like charcoal beside it.

Wu Jian shook his head: "I haven't seen it either, could this thing be used to warm the fire?"

"Let's put it in the warehouse first. The things made by the major general must be useful. We just don't know the purpose."

The stove and long strips of charcoal were sent to the armory, and people from the West Factory guarded them inside and out.

After all the things were put into storage, Wu Jian asked, "Where did the Major General go? Have you gotten up yet?"

Yu Fuguo smiled and said, "General Wu, are you asking me that?"

Wu Jian and Long Chen have a better relationship, this question should be asked by Yu Fuguo to Wu Jian.

"I guess it was the two princesses last night."

Wu Jian gave a wretched smile, and Yu Fuguo sighed: "The four princesses of Dasi, King Wu monopolizes them."

"The princess of Xixia also followed King Wu, and the princess of Nanliang was the only one left."

"Li Chengdao also gave him a marriage back then, but I didn't expect those things to happen later."

Speaking of what happened back then, the two felt emotional.

"General Wu, King Wu has something to call you over."

A soldier ran over in a hurry, and Wu Jian immediately followed the soldier to the west side of the pass.
