From eunuch to emperor

Monk Kong Ji went back to Zhaoti Temple in a sedan chair, and Tang Guolong, Minister of Honglu Temple, was ready.

Tang Guolong is an upright man, and the atmosphere of Honglu Temple is also very good, and his subordinates are all people who are willing to sacrifice for the country.

At this time of crisis, they are willing to follow Tang Guolong as an envoy to the country of Uz.

"Your Majesty Tang has worked hard, the credentials and treasures are all ready."

Monk Kong Ji offered the box containing the credentials with both hands.

Tang Guolong accepted it respectfully, and said: "Don't worry, the national teacher, I will not disgrace my life."

Carefully accepting the credentials, Tang Guolong asked, "Is Master Puxuan alright? I plan to leave today."

Kong Ji asked: "Master Tang, won't you go home and let me know?"

This trip may take a year or two, and it may not come back.

Tang Guolong said: "No need, the country is in danger, how can I take care of my family."

Kong Ji bowed to Tang Guolong and said, "Master Tang is very righteous."

"Master Tang, later, the poor monk will go and see if the brother is well."

With the help of Shanzhen, Kong Ji entered Puxuan's room, and he was still instructing his disciples to pack their things.

"Bring more clothes, and a hat to shade the sun. You also need the veil. You can't do without a veil in the desert wind and sand."

"Take the scriptures with you, I want to read them on the way."

"Use the best water bag, if there is no water, we will die of thirst."

The disciples packed things in a hurry, and the room was in a mess.

Kong Ji looked at it, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Brother, Master Tang is ready and waiting for you to go."

Monk Kongji said calmly.

Kong Ji was surprised and said: "Let's go? Now? Doesn't he need to pack his things and say goodbye to his family?"

Kong Ji said: "Master Tang said that the country is in danger and there is no time to go back."

Puxuan was a little unhappy, and said: "Junior brother, this trip is very difficult and dangerous, I have to clean up, don't rush me."

Kong Ji was helpless, and said: "Brother slowly pack up, we must set off tomorrow, the queen has already prepared the credentials and treasures."

Puxuan responded, and said, "Understood."

Kong Ji turned around and slowly returned to the front yard, and said to Tang Guolong, "Master Tang, please forgive me, Senior Brother, he... is explaining some monk affairs in the monastery, and we can only leave tomorrow."

"How about Master Tang going back to reunite with his family, so that you can say goodbye to your family."

Tang Guolong was anxious, but Puxuan was like this, so he had no choice but to say: "Well, I'll go back first and wait at the north gate tomorrow."

Kong Ji saluted and said, "Okay."

Tang Guolong took the officials of Honglu Temple and went home first.

Kong Ji sent Tang Guolong away, and walked slowly back to the abbot's room by himself.

"You go back."

Shanzhen and the others exited the abbot's room, sat down cross-legged in silence, and slowly meditated to recuperate their bodies.

Now that the country is in critical condition, he must recover as soon as possible.

That night, Puxuan clamored to pack his things, and spent the whole night in a row.

The next morning, Puxuan finally packed up. Monk Kong Ji took the monks from the temple to send Puxuan outside the door.

The ministers of the court received the queen's order and went to the north gate to see him off together.

The people of Xingqing City gathered around the north gate, and the crowd was huge.

Puxuan got on the horse, Kong Ji said to Puxuan and Tang Guolong: "You two have worked hard, Daxia is waiting for you to return."

Tang Guolong paid homage on the horse: "National Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely not disgrace my life if I go here."

Puxuan looked back at Zhaoti Temple, sighed slightly, and said, "Junior Brother, I'm leaving."

Kong Ji bowed: "Brother, have a good journey."

Puxuan nodded, and under the eyes of all the officials, the two led a team of hundreds of people and walked west slowly.

After the people walked away, Kong Ji slowly returned to Zhaoti Temple.

As soon as he entered Zhaoti Temple, he saw Hong Zhi coming over and said, "Junior brother, the king asked you to go to Yangcheng to discuss matters."

Monk Kong Ji showed distress, and said, "How can I go about this?"

Kong Ji's injury is still not healed, and he is not suitable for long-distance fatigue at all.

Hong Zhi said: "The special envoy is waiting, the king said to go in a sedan chair."

An eight-carrying sedan chair has already been placed in the yard, and it is waiting to get on the sedan chair when it is empty.

Kong Ji was helpless, got into the sedan chair immediately, and followed the special envoy to Yangcheng.

...

West Peak City.

Wearing white clothes, Long Chen rode a white horse and stopped at the Jade Buddha Building.

The weather is already very hot, and there are few clothes to wear.

When the women on the street saw Long Chen, they all stopped to watch.

"That's King Wu, the future son-in-law."

"General in white, so handsome."

"That's for sure. If you're not handsome, why would the princess like it?"

"I heard that King Wu is passionate, should we go..."

"Forget it, with our looks, the shopkeeper of the Jade Buddha Tower is qualified to hook up."

The women onlookers talked a lot, they all knew that Long Chen and Yan Shuangyu had hooked up.

When Long Chen got off his horse, Li Sanniang immediately came out to greet him, and happily said: "King Wu hasn't come for a long time."

Long Chen said with a smile: "The military is busy, so I'm free today, is Hall Master Yan there?"

Li Sanniang immediately replied: "Here, waiting for King Wu in the back garden."

Yesterday, Yan Shuangyu sent someone to Zhenguo Temple to invite Long Chen to enjoy the flowers in the Jade Buddha Tower.

Yan Shuangyu said, if you don't come again, the flowers will all wither.

Today Long Chen came riding alone.

Li Sanniang led the way, Long Chen passed through the main hall, turned around two corridors, and arrived at the back garden.

This is the backyard of the Jade Buddha Building, surrounded by high walls and planted with many peach blossoms.

A single peach blossom looks very vulgar, but a single peach blossom will look very beautiful and artistic.

At this time, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there are still some fallen leaves on the ground, like a pink blanket, which is extraordinarily beautiful.

"King Wu is finally willing to come."

Yan Shuangyu was wearing a pink dress, her face was pink and tender, which contrasted with the peach blossoms, making her look very pretty.

"Hall Master Yan invites you, how dare you not come."

Long Chen smiled and walked over, Yan Shuangyu led Long Chen to the depths of the peach forest, and Li Sanniang withdrew from the courtyard.

There is a table in the Taolin, but Yan Shuangyu did not put wine on the table, but spread a camel's hair blanket in the middle of the Taolin, with a plate on it, a jade pot and two jade cups on the plate, A jar of wine, a few delicate side dishes.

"King Wu, please sit down."

Long Chen sat down casually, Yan Shuangyu straightened her dress, and knelt down opposite Long Chen.

Looking at the peach blossoms blooming around him, Long Chen sighed, "This Xifeng City has such a beautiful scenery."

Yan Shuangyu gathered her sleeves, picked up the jade pot with her slender hands, poured a glass of spring wine for Long Chen, and said: "This is transplanted from the capital by my slave's family, and it will open this year."

"If King Wu doesn't come again, all the flowers will wither."

Long Chen said with a smile: "Didn't I come here? And the timing is just right, the flowers bloom just right."

Yan Shuangyu smiled sweetly and said, "Could it be that King Wu deliberately hid from the servant's house?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "What am I hiding from you for?"

Yan Shuangyu smiled slightly, leaned over and offered the jade cup with both hands.

The clothes Yan Shuangyu wore were light and thin, and she had a good figure. When she bent down to deliver the wine, Long Chen could clearly see her snow-white skin.

"Deep in the peach blossoms, there is no scenery."

Long Chen took the jade cup and slightly admired it.

Yan Shuangyu's pretty face flushed slightly, and said: "King Wu is looking at peach blossoms, or what?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "Of course I'm talking about this peach blossom, what does the hall master think?"

Yan Shuangyu knew what Long Chen said, and said coquettishly: "This wine from my slave's house is poisonous, King Wu should think it over."

Yan Shuangyu is good at using poison, Long Chen had seen it when he assassinated in the giant forest.

"Death under the peony flower, it is also romantic to be a ghost."

Long Chen raised his head and took a deep breath, savored it carefully, and praised: "Hall Master's skill in poisoning is good, and the skill in brewing wine is also good."

Yan Shuangyu covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Does King Wu want to taste the poisoned wine from my slave's family?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "If you have the heart, I will drink too."

Yan Shuangyu took Long Chen's jade cup, poured another cup, and said: "I...don't want to part with it."

Long Chen took the wine glass and still drank it down in one gulp.

Yan Shuangyu was afraid that Long Chen would drink too fast, so she didn't rush to refill Long Chen's cup, and said: "I heard that King Wu won another battle and captured the princess of Xixia alive."

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, she wanted to die by herself, and actually brought five hundred so-called wolf hunting troops to chase me down."

Yan Shuangyu smiled and said: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but it is spoiled in the palace, thinking that it is invincible in the world, and it deserves it."

Long Chen lifted the jade pot, poured a cup for Yan Shuangyu, and said, "Wouldn't the hall master drink?"

Yan Shuangyu took the jade cup and said coquettishly, "I still can't trust my family."

Yan Shuangyu drank it all in one gulp, and showed Long Chen the empty cup.

"That's not what it means. Drinking alone is boring."

Yan Shuangyu asked: "I heard that King Wu had another fight with Shi Le, and Shi Le's troops retreated."

Long Chen didn't hide anything, and said: "It can't be said that he has lost, and I can't take it down either. Shi Le has the secret method of Western Xia."

Yan Shuangyu's heart moved slightly, and she asked, "Is it the rumored secret method of the royal family?"

Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, that's the one."

Yan Shuangyu looked at Long Chen with adoring eyes, and said in admiration: "Shi Le used the secret method of the royal family, but was repelled by King Wu? What kind of skill did King Wu practice, so powerful?"
