From eunuch to emperor

Xuanjizi said: "What Yu Shangshu said is true, but now we, Daliang and Xixia, are both prosperous and damaged."

"Long Chengen and Xixia are fighting, we should support it. Pindao estimates that Xixia's envoy will also come."

"But there is a question. Are we, Daliang, really going to fight Dong Zhou with all our strength?"

"If the war in Xixia is protracted, will our Daliang continue to fight with Eastern Zhou until Eastern Zhou is defeated?"

Li Chengdao listened to Xuanjizi's words, and sat on the dragon chair without speaking.

He actually didn't want to start a war with Eastern Zhou, because the current Nanliang was in trouble at home and abroad.

Several battles with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty ended in failure.

Last time, Long Chen made trouble again, and the north side of Jinling City has not been repaired yet.

Three generals died under his command, so there are not many available.

Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai are veterans, and they can still be used.

The newly promoted Xue Ze, Tong Yuan and Liu Feibai are useless.

The last time three of them were asked to besiege Quarry City, Di Luoxi blocked all three of them by himself, and paid a heavy price.

The Hero Terrace is still recruiting people. Even if these people have good cultivation, leading troops to fight is two different things, they need experience.

The most important thing is the issue of the source of troops. If so many people have died, if the conscription is required, there may be turmoil in the country.

Troops from the south were transferred to the north to defend against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The southern barbarians were ready to move. The prefect of Annan County had sent two memorials, requesting the imperial court to send troops to take precautions.

"Yu Fuguo."

Li Chengdao glanced at Yu Fuguo who had been silent all this time.

Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said, "Return to the emperor, I don't know much about war."

"But this slave thinks that if we don't send troops at this time, when Long Cheng'en destroys Xixia, we will have no way to support ourselves..."

Li Chengdao groaned, staring at the pen holder on the table in a daze.

This pen holder was given by Tatsuno, and Li Chengdao did not throw it away, but kept it.

Outside the door, a young official stood at the door and said: "Weichen Honglu Temple Shaoqing Liao Qing asks to see you."

All eyes turned to the door.

Honglu Temple is in charge of diplomatic affairs, and Liao Qing's arrival means that the envoy of Xixia has arrived.

Li Chengdao said coldly: "Come in."

Liao Qing came in and said: "My humble minister Liao Qing pays homage to the emperor."

Li Chengdao asked coldly: "Have people from Xixia arrived?"

Liao Qing said: "Your majesty is wise, the special envoy of Xixia has come, please see the emperor."

Li Chengdao pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no need to see me, tell him, I will immediately send troops to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and support the Western Xia Dynasty."

Liao Qing immediately bowed and said: "I accept the order, I will resign!"

When Liao Qing withdrew from the imperial study, Li Chengdao said resolutely: "If we don't send troops at this time, there will be endless troubles. If we wait for Long Chengen to destroy Xixia, we will regret it."

"Yu Shangshu, order the front line to send troops to attack Linjiang City and Caishi City!"

Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Ziming bowed and said: "The humble minister leads the decree!"

Li Chengdao said to Yu Fuguo: "Spread out the Imperial City Division and help the Ministry of War to kill it."

Yu Fuguo immediately bowed and said, "Your servant leads the decree!"

Yu Ziming withdrew from the imperial study and immediately sent an order to the front line to attack Linjiang City and Caishi City.

...

Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Xifeng City.

The six female generals rode to the east gate of Xifeng City, and it was Zhang Qian and the other six.

After leaving Prince Wu's Mansion, the six of them ran all the way and finally arrived at Xifeng City.

The captain guarding the city gate immediately stopped the six people, and shouted: "What are you doing!"

Jade Buddha Pass is fighting, and Zhang Qian's six people are not dressed like ordinary people, and they are immediately carrying weapons, so they must be interrogated.

Zhang Qian took out her waist card and said, "Zhang Qian, the cavalry general of Prince Wu's Mansion!"

Seeing the waist badge of King Wu's Mansion, the soldiers immediately saluted and let it go: "Please, General!"

Zhang Qian and the six hurried into the east gate, walked through the bustling streets, went straight to the west gate, and headed for Jade Buddha Pass.

The battle at Jade Buddha Pass blocked the commercial route to the west, and many merchants rested in the city, making the city even more prosperous.

The clatter of horseshoes disappeared in the distance. In the attic by the roadside, a woman with a straight nose, deep eye sockets, brown eyes, and fair skin was wearing an apricot-colored long-sleeved cardigan, a dark blue embroidered horse-face skirt, and a comb. Wearing a Lingyun bun, with blush lightly smeared on her face, and a golden step in her hair, she looks graceful and wealthy.

This person is Yan Shuangyu, the hall master of the Jade Buddha Building in Xifeng City.

Xifeng City is located at the junction of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Western Xia Dynasty and Nanliang Kingdom. It is a very important place with many business and travel exchanges.

Shen Wanjin asked Yan Shuangyu to be in charge of the Jade Buddha Building, which was regarded as reuse.

A woman in her 50s stood behind her, watching Zhang Qian and the other six riding their horses past, and said in a low voice, "Master, Long Chengen's house is coming."

This person is Li Sanniang, the steward of Jade Buddha Building.

When Yan Shuangyu was in Buzhuang, there was Yu Wenji, who was in charge.

When they arrived at the Jade Buddha Building, Yan Shuangyu brought in another steward, and Yu Wenji stayed in the cloth village to manage the dyeing workshop business.

Yan Shuangyu said: "I heard that Shi Le's army is gathering, Shi Le has also arrived in Yangcheng, and there is a big battle at Zhenguo Temple."

Li Sanniang said: "I heard that the landlord agreed to help Long Cheng'en, do we have to make a move this time?"

Yan Shuangyu shook her head and said, "I don't know, we will act according to the order, and don't care about the rest."

As an assassin, discipline is extremely strict.

Let what you do be what you are, and there must be no overstepping.

Once the order is not obeyed, the messenger of the wind watch will immediately attack and kill him.

Li Sanniang said: "It stands to reason that when Zhang Qian and the others arrive, the landlord's order should also arrive."

Just after finishing speaking, a woman opened the door and came in, holding a bamboo tube in her hand, and said: "Master, a letter from Jujintang."

Yan Shuangyu immediately took the bamboo tube, the woman left the room, and Li Sanniang stepped back to avoid it.

Yan Shuangyu opened the bamboo tube, unfolded the paper, and after reading the contents of the letter, Yan Shuangyu froze for a moment.

She thought she had read it wrong, so she read it again, and then accepted the secret letter with a look of embarrassment.

Seeing Yan Shuangyu's expression was wrong, Li Sanniang asked, "Master, what's wrong? The task is difficult?"

Yan Shuangyu hesitated to speak, but finally spoke.

"The landlord asked me...to seduce Long Cheng'en."

Li Sanniang was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Seduce Long Chengen? Why?"

Yan Shuangyu shook her head slightly, her heart beat faster unconsciously, her face also turned red, and the expression on her face became a little unnatural.

"I thought the landlord would let me cooperate with Long Chengen in the assassination, but I didn't expect..."

In fact, some time ago, Shen Wanjin gave Yan Shuangyu an order to prepare her for the assassination, and the target was the general of Yuncheng.

Yan Shuangyu originally thought that Shen Wanjin would let her organize an assassination, but she didn't expect that the result would be to seduce Long Chen.

She was in charge of seduction, and the task of assassination must have been given to Xi Xia's daughter envoy Gan Xin.

Yan Shuangyu suddenly felt a disgusting feeling in her heart.

This is not seduction, this is prostitution.

Shen Wanjin saw that Long Chen fought well, and it was very likely that Xi Xia would be wiped out.

When Xixia is destroyed, Long Chen's power will reach a new height.

Shen Wanjin wanted to curry favor with this big tree, and he himself became a sacrificial offering.

Long Chen is lustful, he is beautiful, and he has a perfect body, what a perfect sacrifice.

As an assassin, Yan Shuangyu is ready to die at any time.

But she never thought that one day she would use her body to seduce.

In the Wanjin Building, a group of women have been specially trained to approach the target with the technique of seduction.

These women don't care much about men and women, or about their own bodies.

But Yan Shuangyu and Xiu Niang are exceptions, neither of them are willing.

Both Yan Shuangyu and Xiu Niang are talented in business, and they rely on their ability to make a living, but they still have to betray themselves.

Li Sanniang knew Yan Shuangyu's temperament, so she comforted her helplessly: "Master...Actually, I heard that Long Chengen is not bad, he is the princess's future son-in-law, it's not a waste to be with him."

Li Sanniang could only comfort her in this way, she really couldn't think of any better words.

Yan Shuangyu sneered and said: "Yes, the man whom the two princesses are looking for is so good. No one can compare to him."

"but I..."

Li Sanniang knew what Yan Shuangyu meant.

She can take the initiative to approach Long Chen, take the initiative to go to Wushan Yunyu with Long Chen, but she cannot accept being sold.

This is a hurdle in her heart, and she can't get over it.

"Master, this is the order of the landlord."

Li Sanniang sighed helplessly.

Yan Shuangyu picked up the secret letter and read it again, the words "Lucky Fortune Order" on the top of the head were extremely eye-catching.

The order to attract wealth is the highest order of Wanjin Building, and no one can disobey it.

These three words are generally used only in dead ends.

For example, if you want to assassinate someone, the action will never return, and the assassin will definitely die.

At this time, in order to prevent the assassin from retreating, Wan Jinlou will use the "Fortune Proclamation Order" to force the assassin to execute.

If it is not implemented, the Messenger of Watching the Wind will hunt him down thousands of miles away, and there will be no place to bury him.
