From eunuch to emperor

Yanmen Pass.

Yuncheng's letter eagle landed in the pass, and the empress' letter found its way into Di Luoxi's hands.

"Find Qingyue and Xuan Yi."

Soon, the two entered Di Luoxi's room.

"Princess."

"Look, the Queen Mother asked you to take the jewelry to the Ministry of Revenue to sell it and exchange it for money to reward the soldiers."

Qingyue saw it, and Xuan Yi pouted and said, "Wow, if you sell them all, wouldn't we be at a loss..."

Any piece of jewelry brought back from the Moon Palace is priceless.

These two girls are a little obsessed with money, otherwise they wouldn't have picked up the jewelry from the Moon Palace.

"There is nothing we can do. The reward money will not be paid out, and the morale of the army is unstable. The queen mother said that I will record a great contribution to you."

Di Luoxi gestured: "The Queen Mother promised that you will marry the dead eunuch together with me."

The empress knew that after selling the jewelry in Qingyue and Xuanyi's hands, the money they got in exchange for it was as rich as the country.

Such a large amount of money cannot be given away in vain, so the Empress made an offer that they could not refuse.

"Really?"

Qingyue thought she heard wrongly.

The two of them had hung out with Long Chen many times and knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.

However, after all, the two of them are Di Luoxi's maids. They have low status and are not qualified to marry Long Chen. At most, they can continue to be maids.

The empress spoke now, allowing them to marry Long Chen, and from now on they would be concubines. Their low status was completely different.

"Okay, I'll give it to the Ministry of Finance and we'll send it over. Let's leave now."

Xuan Yi was excited.

It's a great deal to exchange these jewels for marrying Long Chen.

"You two naughty hooves, please be safe on the road and come back as soon as you're done."

"Got it, let's go."

Qingyue and Xuanyi went back to the house, carried the jewelry on their backs, and immediately headed to the capital.

...

Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan arrived in Heling County, north of Zhennan City, with [-] troops and [-] Gu-killing troops.

There is a big river in the south of this county with turbulent water. It is said that it is guarded by the river spirit, so it is called Heling County.

After the army entered the city, Gongsun Ming did not go to Zhennan City immediately, but first sent a small team to investigate.

Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan were sitting in the main hall of the county government office. The county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant were listening to the order.

County Magistrate Huang Yin has already reported the general situation in Zhennancheng.

As far as he knew, things were very bad. People from Zhenna City and those who came out of it died on the road before they could reach Heling County.

Because of fear, the county magistrate Huang Yin ordered the county to be sealed off and no one from the south was allowed to enter.

Outside the door, a team of five people hurried in, smelling strongly of alcohol.

"grown ups."

The leader of the group was a man named Nong Lisheng, a native of the south.

"How about it?"

Gongsun Ming stood up, and Li Xiannan followed suit and asked anxiously.

Nong Lisheng shook his head and sighed: "It's miserable, it's so miserable. Halfway to the south, there are all dead people. Their skin and flesh are ulcerated, and only the bones are left."

"The gate of Zhennan City was opened. There was no sound inside. We didn't dare to go in. It's probably...all gone."

"The people who died on the road should have come out of Zhenna City, walked for more than a day, and finally died of poison. Centered on Zhenna City, this is the case all around."

"The surrounding villages and towns were also infected and died."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan looked ugly, and the county magistrate Huang Yin was horrified.

"Fortunately, the county has been sealed off, otherwise..."

The county magistrate and county captain secretly rejoiced.

"I wanted to come here to save people, but I didn't expect this..."

Li Xiannan was very frustrated.

As a left-behind general in Jinling, he has the responsibility to protect the people.

People in Zhennancheng died, and Li Xiannan felt that he had neglected his duty.

Gongsun Ming was even more like this. Almost 20 people in Zhenna City were all gone...

"I'm going to see for myself."

Gongsun Ming is not willing to give in, maybe he is still alive.

County magistrate Huang Yin stopped Gongsun Ming and advised him, "No, sir, the poison in Zhenna City is still there. If something happens, I can't afford it."

Gongsun Ming said angrily: "What do you want me to do? I'm staying in Jinling. This is my business."

Pushing Huang Yin aside, Gongsun Ming strode out. Li Xiannan also wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he followed him out.

The county magistrate Huang Yin panicked. Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan were gone, so he had no reason not to follow them.

But...he really doesn't want to follow.

Outside.

A messenger broke in, saw Gongsun Ming, and shouted: "Sir, there is an urgent message from Yuncheng."

Cloud City?

Gongsun Ming stopped and took the letter. It read: Gongsun Ming personally sends this letter.

The only ones who could call him by his name were the Empress and Long Chen.

Li Xiannan came over and Gongsun Ming opened it. It was Long Chen's letter.

"King Wu is here?"

Gongsun Ming was surprised and happy.

I was happy that Long Chen came in person, but I was surprised that Long Chen actually came in person.

"It's troublesome."

Gongsun Ming felt that he had not done a good job, so he provoked Long Chen to come in person. He felt guilty.

Li Xiannan comforted him: "It's good that King Wu is here. It will be more secure for him to handle it. You and I really don't know where to start."

Gongsun Ming sat down and sighed: "The old land of Nanliang was entrusted to me, but it turned out to be like this."

Li Xiannan said helplessly: "The matter has come to an end. It is useless to talk more. Let's wait for King Wu to come."

"We have the surrounding counties locked down and no one is allowed to go north."

"When the Gu-killing Army is divided, the surrounding cities must have them."

Gongsun Ming agreed and immediately asked the Gu Slayer Army to separate and enter the surrounding cities to defend, waiting for Long Chen to come over.

...

Capital.

Qingyue and Xuanyi rode two horses back to the capital.

The streets were crowded with people and cars and horses. The war in the north did not affect the prosperity of the capital.

"Familiar feeling."

Qingyue took a deep breath, feeling that there was some kind of fairy spirit in the air.

"We fought hard in the north, but the people here were not affected at all."

Xuan Yi was a little disappointed, feeling that the people in the capital didn't know their hard work.

"This is the best, and our efforts will be meaningful. The war is not just to let ordinary people live in peace."

Qingyue imitated Long Chen's preaching tone.

"Hey, let's learn from Xiao Longlong's teaching."

Xuan Yi immediately heard that these were Long Chen's words and felt a little disdainful.

"Let's go."

The two entered the city and walked on the street. Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from the inn on the street.

"Killed, killed..."

The window on the second floor shattered, and a shadow flew out and ran away on the roof.

"How do you kill someone in broad daylight?"

Qingyue was surprised.

The security in the capital has always been very good, how could this happen?

"Catch him, he's running away over there."

Several Wuhou who patrolled the city immediately rode their horses to catch up, but there were too many cars and horses on the street, so they ran slowly.

"Eating people, eating people..."

There was another exclamation from the second floor of the inn.

Xuan Yi was taken aback and immediately understood what was going on.

"I'll go after it!"

Xuan Yi dropped his baggage, flashed out of the way, and immediately pursued him to the north.

The speed of that shadow was very fast, and its cultivation level was at least at the peak of the Martial Emperor.

Because of the war with the ghost tribe in the north, the cultivation level of the soldiers has skyrocketed, and the cultivation level of the Martial Emperor is nothing.

But it's different in the capital. With such a level of cultivation, you can do whatever you want.

Wu Hou, who was patrolling the city on the street, chased slowly, but Xuan Yi was very fast. Within a few breaths, he saw the shadow. It should be a man, and he had just rushed to the edge of the city wall.

"Still trying to run! Stop!"

Xuan Yi shouted loudly, and a zhenqi pet crashed into him.
