From eunuch to emperor

The route from Yanmen Pass to Shuohai City was originally a very barren route.

Supplies from Yanmen Pass were transported from the capital, and Shuohai City was just a dock for some fishing boats. Being a prefect in Shuohai City was only a little better than dispatching, and no one wanted to be an official here.

After the war, Shuohai City became extremely lively. The small city was not enough to accommodate the sudden increase in population, and many wooden houses were built outside the city.

There are many tall trees near Shuohai City, and there is no shortage of wood, so it is very convenient to use local materials.

The coolies and the newly opened inns are all stationed outside the city.

In order to maintain order, the prefect Xiao Ling specially sent two hundred soldiers to patrol day and night to prevent theft and illegal activities.

Ziyun and Miaoyin entered Shuohai City through the west gate, and the streets inside were paved with stones.

There were too many horses and chariots, and the stones were deeply dented and even crushed.

"It's different from last time."

Master Ziyun couldn't help feeling that the current Shuohai City is really bustling and bustling.

Last time, Long Chen took Ziyun, Miaoyin and the others away from Shengxue Peak, and the boat docked in Shuohai City.

At that time, Shuohai City was just a small city, a little deserted.

Miaoyin said: "The materials transported by Nanliang are circulated here, and it is difficult to transport them to Yanmen Pass if it is not prosperous."

Crossing the street, the two stopped at the gate of the prefect's mansion.

There were more than a dozen armored and armed soldiers guarding the door. Seeing Ziyun and Ziyun, a young general in armor stepped forward and asked, "Who is it!"

Ziyun and Miaoyin got off their horses, lifted the black veil on the bamboo hats, took out a token, and said, "According to the orders, where is the eunuch?"

The token was engraved with a phoenix pattern, which was the empress' warrant, the young general hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and ran in to report.

Ziyun and Miaoyin walked in, and soon saw a middle-aged man coming out to greet them.

"Xiao Ling, my lower official, I pay my respects to the envoy."

Xiao Ling dared not neglect the empress's imperial envoy.

"Prefect Xiao is being polite."

Xiao Ling welcomed the two of them into the guest room and sat down. Ziyun and Miaoyin took off their hats. Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, and asked cautiously: "What do you call the two envoys?"

Xiao Ling only knew that Ziyun and Miaoyin had tokens in their hands, but did not know their identities.

"Poverty Ziyun, the lord of Zixiao Palace."

"The owner of Miaoyin Building."

The two briefly mentioned their names, and Xiao Ling immediately understood their identities.

Ziyun and Miaoyin followed the empress, and everyone in the officialdom knew it.

"So it's Mrs. Ziyun, the host of Miaoyin. He's been famous for a long time, but he just met today. I'm sorry."

Xiao Ling got up and paid his respects again.

It is said that the two of them are sisters with the Empress, and they are close friends with Long Chen, and their status is very special and noble.

"The purpose of our trip is very simple, to prevent Li Chengdao's sneak attack and destroy the privately made ordnance."

Ziyun straightforwardly explained the purpose of his visit, and Xiao Ling immediately said after hearing this: "So that the envoy can know that the subordinate officer and Colonel Xu Fang have seized the privately-made ordnance and put it into storage, and have reported the matter to the sage. "

Seeing the two of them, Xiao Ling guessed the purpose of their visit.

The imperial envoy had just arrived, and the matter had already been settled, so Xiao Ling felt a little complacent.

Presumably the empress will be very happy and credit herself for her contribution.

Hearing that Xiao Ling had seized the ordnance, Ziyun and Miaoyin asked in surprise, "Have they all been seized?"

Xiao Ling replied: "More than 3 ordnance were seized, and they have been counted and put into storage. The good ordnance has been sent to Yanmen Pass by horse-drawn carriage. In addition, Captain Xu is still leading the navy to patrol."

More than 3 ordnances have been intercepted, Xiao Ling personally selected the well-forged ones and sent them to Yanmen Pass.

In doing so, it can not only increase the supply of arms at Yanmen Pass, but also send it to the empress to claim credit.

"Well done, the ordnance has been intercepted, we just need to guard against Li Chengdao."

Miaoyin smiled, but she was actually more worried.

The ordnance was intercepted, and Li Chengdao fell short. If he became angry and started killing in Shuohai City, the two of them would not be able to stop him.

"With two masters here, Shuohai City is safer."

"The two came from afar, and the next official will clean up the dust for the two of you."

Xiao Ling wanted to be courteous, Master Ziyun smiled and said: "No need, we two don't eat much."

The two and a half ghosts have physiques, and they have no appetite for ordinary meals, so they can't eat the banquet.

"This..."

Xiao Ling was a little embarrassed, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

Miao Yin said with a smile: "Prefect Xiao doesn't need to be too polite, the two of us are not used to ordinary food, just trouble Prefect Xiao to arrange a place to live."

Xiao Ling had heard about this matter, and said: "So, I'm being rude, I will arrange a place for you immediately."

After arranging the residence, Ziyun and Miaoyin stayed in Shuohai City.

When Xu Fang heard that the imperial envoy was coming, he hurried back from the sea to see him.

Ziyun informed the Empress of the Queen's will, and Xu Fang followed the will and patrolled back and forth on the sea, and soldiers searched on the shore to strictly prevent weapons from coming ashore.

...

Li Chengdao withdrew from the battlefield and fled to the north for more than ten miles in an instant. After confirming that Long Chen hadn't chased him, Li Chengdao slowly stopped.

The clothes on his body were scorched, his flesh was scorched, and the pain made him clenched his teeth.

Back then, Guitai and Qin Hao looked like this, but I didn't expect that I would have this day.

"Dog thief!"

Li Chengdao tore off his clothes vigorously, and the flesh that was stuck to the clothes was torn apart. Li Chengdao groaned, blood oozing from the torn flesh.

"what!"

Li Chengdao gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, the pain made him tremble all over.

After becoming a half-ghost, he hadn't felt such intense pain for a long time.

Li Chengdao half-kneeled on the ground, and the cold wind blew in, which relieved some pain.

After the wound healed a bit, Li Chengdao slowly got up.

Li Chengdao's self-confidence exploded after refining into devouring, killing Guitu and Qin Hao. He wanted to compete with Long Chen, but he didn't expect to be beaten so badly.

When the spirit snake swallowed the green dragon, Li Chengdao thought he had avenged his revenge, but in the end he was burned by Long Yan.

It seems that the Xuanwu formula is not as good as the Long family's mental method.

"No, no, it's because my cultivation has not yet reached the true state!"

If it is admitted that Xuanwu Jue is not as good as the Long Family's mind, then Li Chengdao will not be able to take revenge in his life.

Therefore, Li Chengdao blamed his lack of cultivation, not his lack of skills.

"Swallowing can increase your cultivation level infinitely. I need to swallow more essence, blood and true energy. If I want to improve my cultivation level, I need to improve!"

Li Chengdao is eager to devour more masters, but there is a problem with devouring, if the opponent's cultivation base is too low, the effect of devouring will be minimal.

This means that Li Chengdao must devour those who are similar to him, or even stronger than him.

Looking around the world, the cultivation base is about the same as him, and the only ones who are more powerful than him are Martial Saint, Ghost Girl, Long Chen, and Empress.

Except for these four, the rest are people like Demon Ling, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi who can enter Li Chengdao's eyes.

Li Chengdao wanted to devour these people, but it was not easy.

Martial saints and ghost girls cannot move, Long Chen and the empress cannot move, and Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi are under Long Chen's protection.

After thinking about it, Li Chengdao had nowhere to start.

Temporarily putting aside the idea of ​​devouring, Li Chengdao sent a letter to Wu Sheng asking him to raid Yuncheng.

The savages left behind probably took this matter into account, and Long Chen had probably already rushed to Yuncheng.

Li Chengdao shouted bad luck, he must tell Wu Sheng immediately not to attack Yuncheng.

Without Xinying in his hand, Li Chengdao could only look for the barbarians, seize the horses, and rush back to the ice field immediately.
