From eunuch to emperor

An arrow flew out and hit the wolf cavalry who sat down on his horse.

The feathered arrow sank into the horse's buttocks, and the war horse wailed in pain, but it did not fall to the ground, but continued to gallop forward with the wolf cavalry on its back.

The captain picked up the carving bow and fired three arrows at Long Chen.

The eagle shooting bow is very strong, and the feather arrow is very fast.

Seeing the captain shooting an arrow, Long Chen immediately shot three arrows back.

Six arrows collided precisely in the air, the captain responded to the soldiers, turned around and rode away.

Of the thirteen wolf cavalry, only two escaped.

Long Chen reined in his horse and stopped, and left with the wolf cavalry.

When Long Chen returned to Yanmen Pass, the soldiers burst into cheers.

"General Long is good at archery."

"General Dragon is mighty!"

"It's the first time I've seen a dragoon being killed so badly."

The guard of Yanmen Gate suffered a great loss from the wolf cavalry, and Long Chen was able to relieve his anger this time.

Long Chen smiled and said: "The barbarians have nothing to be afraid of, if you shoot him with an arrow, they will die too."

The fear of soldiers was greatly reduced.

Di Lingyi was a little strange and asked, "Why didn't you kill the last two?"

Just now Long Chen could obviously shoot and kill them all, but Long Chen didn't.

"They come to find out the truth, and someone will always report it."

Long Chen let them go on purpose and asked them to report back.

"Everyone is starting to prepare. I guess tomorrow morning will be the decisive battle."

Long Chen ordered that all soldiers prepare for the battle.

...

The wolf cavalry fled back to the camp in a panic, and the captain entered the big tent, where Yeluhong and Abuji sat.

"Shan Yu!"

The captain looked flustered and embarrassed.

"Baoyin, what happened, why do you look so flustered?"

Baoyin is the name of the captain of the wolf cavalry, which means a hero, a powerful boy.

Baoyin replied: "There is a young general at Yanmenguan who is very good at arrows and killed 11 of us!"

Yeluhong's expression turned serious, and he asked, "What does it look like?"

Baoyin said: "Blue armor, very delicate, no beard..."

Before Baoyin finished speaking, Yeluhong guessed that it was Long Chen.

"It's okay, it's him!"

Yeluhong and Long Chen had fought each other before, so they knew how powerful it was, and it was normal for the wolf cavalry to be killed.

Baoyin looked at Yeluhong suspiciously, and Abuji said, "That's Long Cheng'en, the general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Baoyin's expression slowly eased, and he said, "It turned out to be him..."

Yeluhong asked, "How is the situation at Yanmen Pass?"

Baoyin replied: "There are many flags on the city, but there are not many soldiers, especially those flags. Some of them are obviously put up temporarily. They are bluffing."

The arrow at the bottom of the city just now was meant to demonstrate, but Baoyin's more important purpose was to test whether the flag was added temporarily.

Abuji nodded slightly, and said: "Shanyu, I can be sure that there are not many defenders at Yanmen Pass, and Long Chengen going out of the city to hunt down is also a bluff."

If there are sufficient troops in the city, Long Chen should show weakness and pretend that he dare not go out of the city to fight.

The tougher Long Chen behaved, the weaker Yanmen Pass was.

Yeluhong said with great joy: "Although Jing Tianlie failed to stop Long Cheng'en, he greatly consumed the strength of Yanmen Pass, so his death is worth it."

During these times, Long Chen has been covering up the news of the Red Flame Army, only saying that almost all of the Red Flame Army died in battle, and the rest were escorted back to Dazhou to farm.

"Why hasn't there been any news from the Kongji State Master for a long time?"

The wise Abuji suggested that Yeluhong ask Xixia to send another expert to help out.

Jing Tianlie is dead, Long Chen's martial arts are very high, Abuji is worried that he won't be able to defeat him.

But Yeluhong said: "Forget it, the people sent by Kong Ji may not be useful, just look at Jing Tianlie."

The relationship between Yeluhong and Xixia is not close.

Monk Kongji infiltrated Buddhism into the grassland, supported Yeluhong to attack and kill Huxie, and obtained the seat of king of the grassland. Yeluhong really owed Kongji's favor and needed Xixia's support.

But later, Yeluhong gradually took control of the grassland and no longer needed Xixia so much.

Instead, Xixia needed Yeluhong's horses to maintain elite cavalry.

Four years ago, Nanliang and Xixia colluded and set a trap to ambush the Long family army. Yeluhong led the army to besiege and paid a terrible price.

The three prairie wolves died in battle, as did a large number of tribal leaders, and even more soldiers.

The dissatisfaction of the leaders of various ethnic groups towards Xixia gradually spread, and Yeluhong also felt that he had been taken advantage of and had been working for Xixia.

This time, Yeluhong gathered all the tribes in the grassland not only for revenge, but also to prove that he did not need Xixia.

"Shan Yu, National Master Kong Ji has great wisdom. With his help, we can win."

"I suggest sending envoys to Xixia to ask for help from Master Kongji."

Abuji slowly counted the rosary in his hand, looking very devout.

Yeluhong frowned, and said coldly: "Abuji, you are a wise man of my Dan tribe, not a monk from Zhaoti Temple!"

Abuji is a Buddhist believer and is very devout to Monk Kongji, which annoys Yeluhong.

"Chan Yu, I am a warrior of the Dan tribe, and I am thinking of the Dan tribe."

Abuji also found that Yeluhong was unhappy, so he hurriedly explained.

Yeluhong waved his hands and said, "Our prairie wolf tribe has hundreds of thousands of warriors. That's not all. We are no worse than Xixia and Eastern Zhou. We don't need to bow our heads."

Baoyin, the captain of the wolf cavalry, bowed his head and listened...

"Let all the ministries prepare to break through Yanmen Pass tomorrow, and then drive south. This king will break through the Eastern Zhou capital and capture the empress alive!"

Yeluhong spoke in high spirits.

Abuji had no choice but to say more.

Baoyin withdrew from the big tent, and the armies of various ministries were ready to attack.

...

Yanmen Pass.

Di Lingyi sat in the room, combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror, with clothes beside her.

During the day, Long Chen's arrow skills shocked Di Lingyi, wolf cavalry were nothing to Di Lingyi, but Long Chen could completely crush him with arrows, which was very powerful.

"Brave, resourceful and talented, she is a peerless talent. No wonder Fourth Sister is so precious."

"such a pity..."

After taking stock of all the advantages of Long Chen, one fatal flaw will always be found in the end: eunuch!

For women, the absence of the bottom means that the last step cannot be realized.

"However... our royal family doesn't marry at all, eunuchs are better!"

The empresses of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty didn't get married, so princesses like them naturally didn't want to get married, and they didn't need men.

Even if Long Chen is a eunuch, as long as it is comfortable to use, it is not impossible.

After thinking this through, Di Lingyi picked up his clothes, walked out of the room, walked to the backyard, and walked slowly into the bathroom.

In the bathtub, Long Chen was taking a bath alone.

After arriving at Yanmen Pass, in order to maintain the image of a decent eunuch, Long Chen didn't sleep with Zhang Qian and the others at night, and took a bath alone, not with them.

Di Lingyi walked to the door, feeling her heart pounding.

Since childhood, she has only bathed with the empress and other princesses.

Even if Long Chen is a eunuch, but he looks no different from a man in appearance, this feeling is very strange.

Di Lingyi moved aside unconsciously, and hid by the door, his heart pounding.

The soles of the feet felt hot and numb, and both hands couldn't help pinching the clothes tightly. His face was very hot, and his body was very hot. It felt like killing people on the battlefield for the first time.

This feeling... kind of comfortable..

Do you want to go in?

I heard that Long Cheng'en likes taking baths together the most, if I take a bath with him, then there is hope of poaching him.

Long Cheng'en is the number one general in the court. If I get him, I can surpass my fourth sister and become the candidate for the crown prince.

But... what a shame!

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

When Di Lingyi was hiding by the door, Long Chen came out wearing a pair of shorts.
