From eunuch to emperor

It was Long Chen's idea to build Xifeng City, and the design was also drawn by Long Chen, but it never came after it was built.

Passing by this time, Long Chen finally saw his masterpiece.

The city wall is made of concrete, which is very thick, and the street houses in the city are built in a north-south direction, and they are well-organized.

"I heard that this city was designed and built by Dazhu Guolong Chengen. It is very strong, like a fortress."

Chai Yuguan walked on the street, admiring the heavy style.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Xifeng City is located at the intersection of Xixia, Dongzhou and Nanliang. The original intention of its construction was to build a fortress to resist Xixia in the west and suppress Nanliang in the south, so it was built very strong."

Chai Yuguan was a little surprised, and asked, "Big...you understand it very well."

Long Chen smiled, did not continue, and found an inn of Tianxiahui to stay.

When going out, you must live in a big hotel, and it must have been open for many years.

The newly opened inn does not know the depth and is prone to accidents.

The hotel that business travelers trust most is Tianxiahui's inn, which is famous and guaranteed.

The waiter warmly greeted him, the carriage entered the backyard, and Chai Yuguan was guarded again so that no one would steal it.

The main hall was very lively. There were two tables for Long Chen and his party, they ordered pasta and mutton, and they just ate.

"What's the name of the shopkeeper?"

Chai Yuguan and Long Chen were eating noodles, when a man in silk clothes came over, he looked like a businessman, but his face was too rough, his mouth was calloused, and his eyes especially had a fierce look.

"Is something wrong, brother?"

Chai Yuguan stood up and bowed.

"The two carts of sandalwood in the backyard are pretty good. How much can I sell them for?"

The man rolled up his sleeves and asked with a smile.

Chai Yuguan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it was ordered by the eminent monks of Zhaoti Temple."

There is no reason to resell the things ordered by others, and this is close to Xixia, and Zhaoti Temple is the Xixia National Temple, so we should give some face.

The man smiled and said, "That's it, I'm so abrupt, I'm sorry."

After speaking, the man left the inn.

Zhe Er glanced back and said in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, the visitor is not kind."

Chai Yuguan looked distressed, and said: "In the past two years, the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has been relatively peaceful, but it will be different when it is close to Xixia."

"As usual, we will hire escorts from the Tianxia Club in Xifeng Town. This time... this time is special."

Long Chen immediately said: "Continue to hire bodyguards, what happened before, this time it's still the old rules."

Chai Yuguan thought that Long Chen would refuse, because after hiring escorts, Chai Yuguan might attack Long Chen.

"I think several of them are good players, it's not necessary."

Chai Yuguan continued to eat noodles, he thought Long Chen was testing.

"No kidding, follow the old rules, invite escorts."

Long Chen was very serious and didn't intend to test it.

Chai Yuguan nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the escort agency in front to ask for escorts later, they have gone several times... let's change to another one."

That bodyguard is familiar with Chai Yuguan, and also knows Chai Yuguan's men, if he invites the same family again, he is afraid of being suspicious.

"No, it's still the same family."

Long Chen wanted to make things look normal.

Chai Yuguan nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you...you want."

Long Chen reminded: "Shopkeeper, I'm your assistant, you make up your mind, I'll handle things."

Chai Yuguan laughed and said, "Yes, I am the shopkeeper."

After eating, the other staff were guarding the goods in the shop, Chai Yuguan, Long Chen and Zhe'er left the inn and went to an escort agency in the west of the city.

There are four gilt characters engraved on the door: Xinglong Escort Bureau.

Entering the yard, the bodyguards inside were practicing martial arts, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds were humming.

Zhe Er glanced coldly, the highest was no more than the king's initial cultivation base.

Seeing a guest coming to the door, the steward of the bodyguard bureau hurried out to greet him: "Master Chai, you are a few days late this year."

The housekeeper and Chai Yuguan were very friendly, they looked like old acquaintances.

"I was delayed on the road, is the chief escort here?"

"Yes, please go to the shopkeeper, please go to the two of you."

Long Chen followed into the main hall and sat down, the apprentice served tea, Chai Yuguan drank it, but Long Chen didn't drink it.

Not long after, a man with a leopard head and eyes around him came out, about 50 years old, with a beard on his face.

This person is Zhang Hei, the chief escort of Xinglong Escort Bureau.

"Master Chai, long time no see."

"The Chief Escort is still so energetic."

Chai Yuguan and Long Chen stood up and saluted.

"Sit down, we are all old acquaintances."

Zhang Hei sat down, saw Long Chen beside him, his eyes suddenly froze, he sat up straight and asked, "Who is this?"

Chai Yuguan immediately introduced: "This is my distant cousin. I took him out for business. Chen'er has not met the head of the security guard yet. You will also rely on the head of the security guard in the future."

Long Chen immediately stood up and saluted: "Junior Tan Chen, I have met the chief escort."

Zhang Hei replied with a smile: "What a handsome young man, shopkeeper Chai has a right-hand assistant."

Long Chen sat down, and Chai Yuguan said: "Chen'er has served in the army for several years, now that she's home, she's going to run business with her, and the chief escort will take care of her in the future."

Zhang Hei nodded and said, "I mean, I have a murderous spirit. I used to be in the army."

"The shopkeeper is still going to Zhaoti Temple this time?"

Chai Yuguan said: "Yes, we still go back and forth from Xifeng City to Zhaoti Temple."

Zhang Hei said: "The shopkeeper and I are both acquaintances, and I won't hide it from you. This road was originally fine, and people on the road also gave me some face."

"But recently there have been a group of bandits, they are very unruly, and this road is difficult."

This means adding money.

Regardless of acquaintances or not, business is business.

Chai Yuguan immediately said: "It doesn't matter, the road is difficult, and you should pay more for tea."

Zhang Hehe laughed and said, "It's good that the shopkeeper understands."

"Butler, you choose ten good players, and set off with shopkeeper Chai tomorrow morning."

The butler replied: "Okay."

Then he said to Chai Yuguan: "Please pay a deposit to the cashier, Chai the treasurer."

Chai Yuguan immediately got up, Long Chen went out with him, paid the deposit at the cashier, and then went back to the inn to stay.

The butler returned to the main hall and said, "Master, the money has been paid."

Zhang Hei nodded, and said, "That Tan Chen just now was weird, and he felt that his cultivation was unfathomable."

The butler smiled and said, "Master is overthinking, you really have a good cultivation base, what else do you want us for?"

Zhang Hei thought about it too, maybe he was overthinking.

Back at the inn, Long Chen and Chai Yuguan slept in the same room.

Nothing to say that night.

When he got up the next day, ten escorts from Xinglong Escort Bureau were waiting at the door, and the leader of the escorts was Zhang Hei's second apprentice, named Wang Bin.

Chai Yuguan invited them to have breakfast, the carriage came out from the backyard, Long Chen got on the horse, and Wang Bin shouted: "Xinglong Escort Bureau is on the road!"

The Escort's flag was raised high, and the caravan left Xifeng City and headed west to Jade Buddha Pass.

Ten miles away, it will be here soon.

Wu Jian was patrolling the gate, and Han Ziping looked at the Xinglong Escort coming from the east, and said, "General, the business of the Xinglong Escort is very good recently."

Wu Jian took a look and said, "There are a lot of bandits outside the pass recently, and the Xinglong Escort Bureau is stronger, so the business is good."

Han Ziping smiled and said, "Should we send troops to suppress the bandits?"

Wu Jian smiled and said, "We take care of the east side of the Jade Buddha Pass, but we don't care about the west side. That's the boundary of Xixia."

The dart flag of the Xinglong Escort Bureau is embroidered with a "Zhang" character, and behind it are bodyguards and caravans...

"Ok?"

Wu Jian saw a young man in the caravan, and he always felt very familiar.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Han Ziping saw Wu Jian's expression was wrong.
