From eunuch to emperor

"My lord is just about to go out? What if you are in danger?"

Bai Tingting said worriedly.

Long Chen said: "Don't worry, I'm going to Sifanglou, there can be no danger there."

Sifanglou is the territory of the Tianxiahui, whoever is blind would dare to make trouble in the Tianxiahui's territory.

Bai Tingting brought clothes and changed for Long Chen.

After getting dressed, Bai Tingting took the sword and followed Long Chen out.

The two rode horses and arrived at Sifanglou very quickly, and Hong Qi was already waiting at the door.

"Master Long, please follow me!"

Hong Qi personally led the horse and helped Long Chen down.

"Such a big gift, I can't bear it."

Long Chen smiled and followed Hong Qi to the small attic in the backyard, Bai Tingting could only wait outside.

After going up to the small attic, Hong Qi knocked on the door first, and said, "Master President, Master Long has arrived."

The attic door opened, and two beauties came out from inside, giggling and walking past Long Chen, a strange fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

"Master Long, please come in."

Ji Ba said with a smile.

Hong Qi made a gesture of invitation, Long Chen stepped into the room, Hong Qi immediately closed the door, and guarded the door by himself.

Walking into the room, Long Chen finally saw the legendary uncrowned king—Ji Ba, the president of Tianxiahui.

He was dressed in bright yellow clothes with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, looking very rich.

"Long Chengen has seen the Uncrowned King."

Long Chen bowed his hands.

Ji Ba smiled and sat down, bowed his hands and saluted: "Lord Long has long admired you, please sit down."

Long Chen sat down, took a little look at the small attic, and found that it was made of golden nanmu, which was really luxurious.

"Manipulating the world, playing with the princes, not wearing a crown, but being king, the uncrowned king is indeed extraordinary."

Long Chen made a fuss about business.

In fact, Ji Ba's appearance is a bit too vulgar, with dragons and phoenixes depicted on his clothes, it's simply unbearably vulgar.

Ji Ba laughed and said: "Master Long is a peerless genius, and he can repeatedly make strange plans, which is an eye-opener for me."

Long Chen said with a smile: "Small tricks, nothing to worry about."

Ji Ba looked Long Chen carefully, and said with a smile: "Open the skylight and speak honestly, what do you want to talk about?"

Long Chen said with a smile: "Then just say it, I want to use the crystal manufacturing technology in exchange for Xixia not to interfere with troops, not to accept Jing Tianlie's surrender."

Both are very smart people and don't need so much foreshadowing.

Ji Balu thought for a while, and said: "Okay, I guarantee that Xixia will not interfere with troops and will not accept Jing Tianlie's surrender."

Long Chen took out a small notebook from his sleeve, handed it to Ji Ba, and said: "The craftsmanship is all about it, just follow the process."

Ji Ba took the small book and said without reading it, "Okay."

Long Chen stood up and saluted, then turned and left the small attic.

Hong Qi sent Long Chen downstairs, and then immediately turned back to the small attic. Ji Ba picked up the small book, handed it to Hong Qi, and said, "Build a workshop right now."

Hong Qi didn't ask too many questions, took the small book, and immediately arranged for the craftsmen to start working.

Long Chen came down from the small attic, the black man brought the horse over, and Long Chen got on the horse and left the square building.

After returning to Qiuxing Hall, Bai Tingting asked, "Why so fast?"

She thought Long Chen was going to talk to Ji Ba for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Long Chen said with a smile: "It's that simple to talk about business with Cong Cong."

"I'm going to face the saint, you go to practice, I'm already the Martial Emperor, and you are still in the realm of a master."

Bai Tingting pouted, and immediately went to practice sword in the yard.

Long Chen changed into court clothes, went outside Fengming Palace, and saw Yingfeng.

"Cheng En, why are you here?"

Yingfeng has a good impression of Long Chen now, and will use nicknames when there is no one around.

"I have something to report to the Holy Majesty, please let me know."

Long Chen laughed.

Yingfeng smiled, and said, "What are you talking about, please wait."

Yingfeng went in to report, came out after a while, and brought Long Chen into the imperial study.

"The body has recovered?"

The empress put down the memorial and asked.

Long Chen bowed: "Thanks to His Majesty's reminder, everything will be fine."

The Empress smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Long Chen bowed and said: "Weichen just went to see the Uncrowned King."

Hearing the Uncrowned King, the empress looked serious, and Yingfeng immediately closed the door and stood guard outside.

The Empress asked, "How is it?"

Long Chen said: "Weichen exchanged a new casting process for a promise from the Uncrowned King."

"He promised that when we attack Jing Tianlie, Xixia will never send troops or accept Jing Tianlie's surrender."

The empress looked happy and said: "You have done a good job, Xixia will not send troops, Nanliang is too far away from Jade Buddha Pass, Jing Tianlie has lost his strong support, and things have become simpler."

There is a big variable in dealing with Jing Tianlie, that is, whether Xixia will send troops to interfere.

Jade Buddha Pass is the pass where the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xixia confront each other, and both sides are heavily guarded.

If Xixia sent troops to help Jing Tianlie, or opened the gate to accept the Red Flame Army into Xixia, Eastern Zhou would be very troublesome.

Xixia is located in the northwest, where there is drought and little rain, the revenue of the dynasty's treasury depends on the caravans of the Tianxiahui, and the Tianxiahui has a great say in Xixia, that's why Ji Ba dared to promise like this, and Long Chen also believed in Ji Ba's promise.

In the case of Nanliang, Li Chengdao had tax revenue, and Ji Ba could not guarantee that Nanliang would not interfere without relying on the Tianxiahui.

Long Chen said: "Just wait for the soldiers and horses to practice well, then you can start to fight."

The empress nodded slightly, and said: "You make up your own mind, I support you."

Long Chen bowed, got up and left the imperial study.

...

Sifanglou.

Hong Qi flipped through the small book carefully, secretly admiring Long Chen's skill of turning gold into gold.

"Lord, why did the Chairman wait until Long Chengen took Yangjingshi before seeing him?"

The black man didn't understand.

Since we want to cooperate with Long Chen, wouldn't it be the same a few days earlier?

Hong Qi sneered and said: "You know what, Long Chengen is too smart, let him stay in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty all the time, and sooner or later he will disturb the world."

"But now that he has taken the Sun Crystal, he seems to have become stronger, but the date of death is fixed, and he is no longer a threat."

"A person who is mortal, we can make a lot of money by doing business with him, without any worries."

"It is precisely because of this that the chairman is willing to meet Long Chengen."

No matter how Long Chen and Jing Tianlie fight, it's just an internal matter of Dazhou, and it won't affect the situation in the world.

What Tianxiahui wants is the balance of power in the world and maintaining the influence of Tianxiahui.

In the past two years, Eastern Zhou's power has expanded a bit fast, causing Long Chen and Jing Tianlie to fight each other, just consuming Eastern Zhou's strength.

Therefore, Ji Ba promised Longchen Xixia not to interfere.

The black man suddenly realized, and said: "It's so complicated, I don't have enough brains."

Hong Qi sneered and said, "If you can understand, you won't just be a guard."

The black man laughed ashamedly.

He felt that he was surrounded by smart people and he was the only one who was stupid.

...

Jade Buddha Pass.

A dark guard with a medium build and thick calves walked into Jing Tianlie's room quickly.

"General, Long Chengen has broken through the realm of Martial Emperor."

"How is it possible! The eunuch can't..."

Jing Tianlie's shocked expression stopped on his face, and then he laughed loudly and said: "So that's the case, did Gongsun Yun refine Yangjingshi?"
