From eunuch to emperor

"Everyone performs their duties, and it's your credit for defending Yuncheng."

Long Chen got off the horse, and Tang Na held the rein.

"King Wu, please enter the city to rest."

Tang Na led the way, and Long Chen and Shi Jingxiang entered the city.

The soldiers who knew Long Chen saluted one after another, all of them were very happy.

These days, Tang Na and Yan Gang have been saying that the ghost clan may invade at any time, and everyone is under great pressure.

Long Chen has arrived, they don't have to worry.

Of course, some smart generals were even more nervous. The appearance of Long Chen here meant that the ghost clan was likely to attack Yuncheng.

When Long Chen entered the city, Yan Gang got the news and immediately went to the General's Mansion to meet him.

"The last general, Yan Gang, pays homage to King Wu."

"General Yan, please sit down."

After Yan just sat down, Long Chen asked, "How is the defense around Yuncheng?"

Tang Na was the chief general, and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city. According to King Wu's order, fortifications were built inside and outside, and the waiting cavalry were thrown out. Once they find any movement of the ghost clan, they will know immediately."

Long Chen asked: "Have the firearms in Linglong Pavilion been fully replenished?"

Donna said, "It's in place, everything is ready."

Long Chen said: "That's good, we don't have the advantage at all in a frontal battle, and the ghost clan's cultivation level is as high as the Martial Emperor's, and we fighters can't beat it."

Tang Na and Yan Gang trembled slightly.

They had long heard that ghost soldiers had high cultivation bases, and when Long Chen said it, they were still shocked.

Tang Na also ate jerky, her cultivation had just broken through Emperor Zun, and Yan Gang was even worse, still stuck at Martial Emperor's cultivation.

That is to say, although there are [-] soldiers and horses in the entire Yuncheng, only Tang Na and Yan Gang can fight the ghost soldiers, and the other soldiers are meat heads.

That's why Long Chen kept increasing the number of firearms in Yuncheng, trying to avoid direct confrontation.

"King Wu, I heard that the battle at Yanmen Pass was very tragic..."

Yan Gang wanted to ask, but it was not easy to ask, because Long Chen fought this battle.

"Yes, it was tragic. More than half of the first batch of elite soldiers trained were killed or injured."

"But the ghost clan is not much better. When an army of [-] came out, it was estimated that [-] were killed, and [-] were captured by us. There are only less than [-] left. I estimate that only [-] are available."

Tang Na and Yan Gang looked at Long Chen adoringly.

Long Chen actually killed so many of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who were repaired by the Martial Emperor.

Long Chen continued: "It's because of this that Martial Saints sent ghost fetuses to infiltrate Xixia to plunder the population. They need to recover their fighting power."

Tang Na said: "Yanmenguan has suffered a lot, so I dare not covet the surrounding borders. Xixia's defense is weaker, so I want to attack here."

Long Chen nodded, affirming Tang Na's analysis.

Yan Gang asked: "King Wu is here, is the ghost clan coming soon?"

Long Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know either, I can only be sure that the ghost fetus is sneaking in with the ghost soldiers, but I don't know where the ghost soldiers are."

There is no need to hide this matter, Long Chen will tell the truth.

"That's it, do you want to increase the waiting patrols?"

Yan Gang looked at Tang Na, and Tang Na said, "The waiting riders are all gone, so where are the waiting riders?"

All the waiting riders in Yuncheng are patrolling the north to prevent the ghosts from sneaking in, and there are no more manpower.

"Don't be too nervous, there won't be too many of them, and their target may not be Yuncheng."

Hearing what Long Chen said, Tang Na immediately asked: "Do they have other goals?"

Long Chen said: "Yes, I suspect that the Acropolis may also be one of the targets."

Yan Gang slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, the defense of the Acropolis is weak, it's very dangerous there, the last general..."

Yan Gang wanted to send people to defend immediately, but Long Chen immediately said: "No, Old General Yuwen's Demon Dragon Battalion is there, if the devil dares to go there, he will definitely suffer a big loss!"

The strength of Yu Wenkai and Demon Dragon Camp is definitely enough to deal with ghost fetuses, Long Chen is very sure of this.

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine."

Yan just left the buttocks of the stool and sat down again.

"Don't be too nervous, you go about your own business."

Both Tang Na and Yan Gang wanted to chat again, but they couldn't talk anymore when Long Chen said that.

Talk too much, it will appear that they have nothing to do.

The two got up and went out, Long Chen asked Shi Jingxiang: "Let's take a look at the city together?"

Shi Jingxiang nodded, followed Long Chen to get up and walk out.

Tang Na and Yan Gang didn't know Shi Jingxiang, and they never said hello to Shi Jingxiang, nor did they ask Shi Jingxiang's identity.

They knew that Long Chen was romantic, and they were worried that if they asked the wrong question, things would be embarrassing.

...

The northern border of Xixia.

Guitai and Li Chengdao rode horses and entered Xixia in the dark.

There is no obvious border line between Xixia and the grassland, and there are no markers dividing the border.

Xixia and barbarians have only a vague concept, as if whichever mountain they cross belongs to Xixia, and which ditch they pass belongs to barbarians.

"Holy Son, wait to ride."

Li Chengdao saw several horses approaching in the distance, and immediately reminded him.

"It's only five people... Forget it, let's go."

The ghost is greedy and wants to eat people, but think about it or give up. The purpose of this trip is to catch people, and if you eat them, you may be discovered.

The two speeded up, using the terrain to avoid waiting riders, and continued to march towards the hinterland of Xixia.

...

Yanmen Pass.

A young jailer had dinner, went back to his cell, sat down, poured a bowl of water, and drank it beautifully.

"The weather is getting hot again. I almost froze to death last winter."

An old prison guard next to him was dozing off, and the nagging woke him up.

Opening his sleepy eyes, the old jailer said: "The hot spot is good, the weather is hot, and the ghosts will not dare to come."

rumbling...

There was a burst of thunder outside, and the young jailer looked at the door and said, "Is it going to rain?"

Another old jailer said: "It's time to rain, this year's rain is too late."

It was late spring at this time, and the spring rain should have fallen long ago.

"Isn't that old thing noisy?"

The young jailer drank another bowl of water, feeling a little bloated.

When you are thirsty, the first bowl of water is the sweetest, but the second bowl of water is not good.

"It's not noisy, it's very quiet."

The old jailer rubbed his eyes, slowly got up and walked towards Ma Feizi's cell.

The cell was already dim, and with the darkness, it was even more blurred.

The old jailer walked to the fence, he didn't dare to get too close, ghosts are very dangerous, for fear of being caught and bitten to death.

Such a thing happened once, a jailer was caught and bit off by a ghost.

"Huh? What about people?"

The old jailer didn't see Ma Feizi, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted, "Xiao Li, come here!"

Even if he couldn't see Ma Feizi, the old jailer didn't dare to approach him.

The young jailer ran over and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Judging from the voice of the old jailer, something must have happened.

"Did you see anyone?"

asked the old jailer in panic.

Seeing that there was no one inside and the door was unlocked, the young jailer exclaimed, "It's over, run away!"

The old jailer fell to the ground, patted his head with both hands, and said, "It's over, run away!"

The young jailer urged: "Stop talking, report it quickly!"

The old jailer didn't dare to say anything, but the young jailer immediately reported the matter.

Soon, the news reached Wu Jian.

"Ma Feizi ran away?"

Wu Jian didn't pay much attention to Ma Feizi at first, but the situation is different after this guy ran away.

"General Wu, didn't you say that Ma Feizi is useless?"

Han Ziping followed, and he heard about Ma Feizi.

Wu Jian shook his head and said, "No, if this guy doesn't run away, things will be fine."

"But this guy ran away, it might be a scam, let... Tang Heizi lead someone to chase after him!"

Han Ziping asked, "Is it necessary for Tang Heizi to chase after him?"

Tang Heizi is now considered a high-ranking general in the army, just a fleeing Ma Feizi, sending such a high-ranking general to hunt him down, isn't Taixing mobilizing the crowd?
