From eunuch to emperor

"Leave in a moment."

Long Chen originally planned to have a good time with Yan Shuangyu yesterday, and then pull up his pants and leave.

In the end, when he met Shen Wanjin, he had no choice but to find Shi Jingxiang.

"In such a hurry?"

Wu Jian thought it would take two days before he set off.

Long Chen said: "I've been preparing for a long time, I found out the matter yesterday, it's time to leave."

Long Chen didn't forget to tell another lie to fool Bai Tingting beside him.

"Husband, I will go with you."

Bai Tingting likes the feeling of being alone in the dragon's lake and tiger's lair. She was not taken with her on the last trip to Jinling, and Bai Tingting talked about it for a long time.

Long Chen said: "No, if you are not here, Shi Le can guess that I am not here."

Bai Tingting pouted unhappy.

Wu Jian said: "My lord, be careful, Jinling City has been disturbed once, Shi Le may be on guard."

Long Chen said: "I know, you should watch here."

Wu Jian nodded and said, "Don't worry about that, I only defend but not attack, we will talk about it when your lord comes back."

Long Chen thought for a while, there is no need to order anything superfluous, Wu Jian has commanded troops at Jade Buddha Pass by himself for so long, and he is an expert at leading troops in battle.

Together with the two sisters Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu, the four of them can also be said to be veterans in the battlefield.

With so many people guarding, even if Shi Le made a surprise attack, it would be impossible to take down Zhen Guo Temple easily.

If Shi Le really dared to make a surprise attack, Long Chen would be able to rush back from Xingqing City within two days.

"You tell Sissy and the others, and I'll leave right away."

Long Chen told Bai Tingting that if Zhang Qian didn't explain something, she might think that she had gone to a brothel.

Bai Tingting nodded disappointedly, she couldn't go with Long Chen, she felt very lost.

After Wu Jian and Bai Tingting went out, Long Chen changed into an ordinary Long family army uniform, put on simple makeup, and only brought a dagger, and went out to the north and down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Feng He led a horse and waited under the shade of a tree.

"Miss Bai didn't come with you?"

Feng He asked with a smile.

"She wanted to follow, but I didn't let her come."

Long Chen got on the horse, and the two immediately walked west quietly.

Not far from Zhenguo Temple, when we arrived at a town, there was a camel caravan parked by the side of the road, which was pretended to be a spy from Xichang.

"Meet King Wu."

Seeing Long Chen, the spies from the camel team paid a visit immediately.

Long Chen changed his clothes, pretended to be a businessman, Feng He pretended to be the accountant, and set off for Xingqing City with a load of goods from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"Have you chosen your target yet?"

Long Chen was riding a horse, looking at the desolate villages around him, the people farming in the fields were old and weak women and children.

All the strong people around Yangcheng were arrested to fight in Yangcheng. During the busy season of farming in spring, only the old and weak, women and children went to the fields.

Feng He said: "The selection is done. There is a Zhuangzi not far ahead, called Zhujiazhuang, and the owner is called Zhu Yong."

"This Zhu Yong has sixteen concubines, one wife, Mrs. Mu, and more than 20 children, all of whom are from Zhaoti Temple."

"The Zhu family village has a lot of influence around it. This Zhu Yong is a fierce man who has taken in many desperadoes."

"If he turns the other way, Shi Le will be busy."

Yangcheng was guarded like an iron barrel by Shi Le, and the Long family army couldn't get through.

The outside cannot be breached, Long Chen intends to make troubles from the inside.

The purpose of infiltrating into Xixia this time is to make use of the matter of seeking a son in Zhaoti Temple to turn Xixia's internal monarchs, ministers and people against each other. It is best to instigate a group of internal support.

"Okay, the first target is this Zhu Yong."

Long Chen nodded slightly, and the caravan moved forward slowly.

...

The east-west continuous high mountains lay on the ground, and the snow on the top of the mountains began to melt into snow water, converging into streams, and turning into a shallow river at the foot of the mountain.

The land moistened by the snow water grows green, the branches and leaves on the trees are tender green, and the sun shines through the leaves, and it seems that the veins of the leaves can be seen clearly.

The river flows slowly to the southeast and passes through a Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is very large, round in shape, covering an area of ​​more than 100 mu, with walls ten meters high, built of rammed earth and stones, with black tiles on the roof, which looks like a castle.

Surrounded by flat fields, many tenant farmers were working. The cattle slowly pulled the plow, the soil was broken, and many crows followed the plow to eat worms.

The water of the river was intercepted by a dam and divided along the ditches, like capillaries, nourishing the dry land.

A man who was almost 50 years old, wearing a black silk shirt and a square scarf, his hair could be seen graying from his sideburns.

This Zhuangzi is Zhujiazhuang, and this man is Zhu Yong, the owner of the Zhuangzi.

Zhu Yong was holding an iron ruyi, and behind him was a man of about the same age, wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes. This man was the housekeeper Zhu Xi.

"Master, twenty more escaped yesterday, seven were caught, and thirteen escaped."

Looking at the tenants and slaves who were working, Zhu Xi said helplessly.

Jin Ruyi in Zhu Yong's hand tapped on the shoulder, and cursed angrily: "The gang of killers really think that they can get out of slavery and be assigned to the fields when they arrive in Yangcheng!"

"Then Long Cheng'en is easy to deal with? I can still have a head to eat with me, but I went to Yangcheng, hehe, I can't keep the guy who eats!"

Long Chen spread rumors in the rear, saying that Shi Le wanted to distribute the powerful land of the landlord to the tenants.

This rumor worked very well. The tenant actually fled from the landlord's house and went to Yangcheng to serve as a soldier. He wanted to get out of slavery and get the land.

Shi Le needed soldiers now, so he turned a blind eye to this matter. He pretended not to know about the objections from the courtiers and powerful landlords.

Over 300 people escaped from Zhujiazhuang one after another during these times, and Zhu Yong was furious.

"I heard that the battle in Yangcheng is tense, and the second princess has been arrested alive. Long Chengen wants to exchange the princess for Yangcheng, but the king is not willing."

"Now the princess is being raped by Long Chengen in Zhenguo Temple every night, it's miserable!"

When the housekeeper Zhu Xi said this, he had a wretched smile on his face, as if he was talking about who the widow in the village had sex with, and whose uncle was caught having an affair with his sister-in-law.

Zhu Yong put Jin Ruyi into his neckline, scratched his back, and said with a chuckle, "How do you know it's miserable? I heard that Long Chengen's skills are good, maybe the princess is happy."

The housekeeper Zhu Xi followed with a smile and said: "It makes sense, I heard that Long Chengen has five generals under his command, and each of them is a stunning beauty."

Zhu Yong tapped Jin Ruyi on the shoulder, looked at the endless fields, and said, "I also want to go to Yangcheng to watch the fun, and see what that female general looks like."

The housekeeper Zhu Xi flattered: "Master, you have sixteen concubines, more than Long Cheng'en, and your life is no happier than that eunuch."

Zhu Yong laughed and said: "That's right, I have more concubines than him, and my family is full of descendants. Whether he, an eunuch, can have children is still a question."

Butler Zhu Xi smiled and said: "That's right, the people of Xixia cannot give birth, and they can still go to the Qizi Hall of Zhaoti Temple to pray for blessings. If he can't give birth, he will not be blessed by the Buddha, and he is still an extinct family!"

Zhu Yong laughed loudly and said, "It makes sense!"

Da da da...

Dozens of horses galloped over from a distance, and immediately sat a group of fat and strong men with various prey hanging on their backs.

These men are the helpers of rogues taken in by Zhu Yong. They don't work on weekdays, but go hunting when they are full.

If Zhu Yong encounters difficulties, he will act as a thug for Zhu Yong.

"Today's harvest is good."

Zhu Yong greeted with a smile, and the group of men picked up their prey on horseback and said with a smile: "Master, today we eat venison, and there are a lot of wild game."

Zhu Yong smiled and said, "Let's go!"

A group of people walked in chaotically, but the housekeeper Zhu Xi was left behind.

Walking at the back of the line, Zhu Xi looked at the horse's butt, feeling very upset.

He doesn't like this group of idlers who eat, drink, and mess around because they don't respect him.

Snapped!

The horse's butt shrank, and a pile of shit fell on the ground. Zhu Xi didn't pay attention, and stepped on the horse dung with his cloth shoes.
