From eunuch to emperor

Gan Xin entered the room, the shopkeeper closed the door, and hung a rusty brass lock. It seemed that this was a utility room that had not been used for a long time.

Gan Xin put away the dry tobacco pole, removed the things under the bed, and pulled a wooden board, a dark tunnel extended to the backyard.

Gan Xin took off his shoes and walked west slowly along the tunnel.

The tunnel is very small, and it is completely dark inside, so you can't see it at all.

Gan Xin didn't dare to light the fire, and moved forward in the dark with both hands.

Finally, at the end of the tunnel, it was the underground secret room of the thatched shed in the backyard.

Gan Xin restrained his breath, squatted on the ground slowly, put his ear against the wall, and listened to the movement in the next room.

In the secret room, Shen Wanjin waited for Kong Ji to wake up.

After a long time, Kong Ji slowly woke up.

Opening his eyes, Kong Ji saw an oil lamp like a bean, barely illuminating the surrounding cold stone walls.

"Lian Zhen.."

Kong Ji called out in a daze, Lian was really his disciple's name.

"Master Kongji is awake."

Kong Ji didn't hear the disciple's response, only heard a cold voice.

Monk Kongji shuddered, and suddenly became much more awake.

The blood loss during the day's battle, coupled with the long journey, monk Kong Ji's body is very weak.

But the surrounding environment and the cold voice just now made him wake up.

Kong Ji wanted to get up, but found that his hands and feet were tied by iron chains, and the severe pain in his abdomen forced him to lie down.

"Master is still in good health, don't move around."

Shen Wanjin smiled and walked over, Kong Ji finally saw clearly.

"Who are you? Why kidnap me?"

Monk Kong Ji was shocked, although he was injured, he was still in Guancheng just now, there were more than 20 troops around, and Shi Le was also in the city.

Under such strict guards, he was actually kidnapped.

This person's means must be brilliant, and this time he encountered a formidable one.

Shen Wanjin smiled and stood not far away, and said, "Shen Wanjin, the owner of the Wanjin Building!"

Monk Kongji was bound by iron chains, and he was already a fish on the chopping board. Shen Wanjin was confident and boldly exposed his reputation.

In normal times, Shen Wanjin would have to make up his face to the outside world, let alone revealing his name, and would never show his true colors to others.

"Shen Wanjin?"

Monk Kong Ji looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, he didn't understand why Wan Jinlou wanted to kidnap him?

"How much money did Long Chengen give you? The poor monk pays double, even ten times!"

In Kong Ji's impression, Wanjinlou is just an assassin organization that collects money to kill people.

There had been rumors before that Wanjinlou and Long Chen had colluded to deal with Tianxiahui, and now the Jujintang of the Eastern Zhou capital is actually Wanjinlou.

So he decided that it was Long Chen who paid and ordered Wan Jinlou to kidnap him.

Since Wanjinlou takes money to do things, then pay more to keep yourself safe.

Shen Wanjin laughed and said: "I do have some deals with Long Chengen, but this time it has nothing to do with him, it is I who want to kidnap you."

Numerous thoughts flashed through Monk Kongji's mind, but he couldn't figure it out. He asked, "The poor monk has never had any trouble with Wanjinlou, why did the landlord want to tie me up?"

Shen Wanjin chuckled and said, "I'm innocent, but I'm guilty."

Monk Kongji suddenly understood, he laughed and said: "It turns out that the poster has taken a fancy to the poor monk's Wild Lion Art."

The most valuable thing in him is the Wild Lion Jue, the secret law of the Western Xia royal family. Shen Wanjin said that it was his crime to conceive a jade, so of course it was the Wild Lion Jue.

"Grandmaster is indeed extremely intelligent. Now that I know it, I would like to ask, should Master obediently say it, or should he suffer some hardships?"

Shen Wanjin took out a bag of things from his body, which contained razors, hooks, and small saws...all of which were written as instruments of torture for digging out human flesh.

Monk Kong Ji glanced coldly at the torture kit, closed his eyes and said, "You have seen the appearance of the poor monk, and I can't teach you now, until the poor monk recovers from his injuries."

"Of course, if the landlord is impatient, then kill him."

Since Shen Wanjin has something to ask of himself, Kong Ji is safe for the time being.

His hands and feet were bound by thick iron chains, and he couldn't escape even if he ran, so he simply stopped running.

Shen Wanjin was not surprised, he killed many people and tortured many people, he has seen everything.

It is also reasonable for Kongji to be like this.

"Okay, I will heal the master's injury, but the master can't just lie down and say nothing."

Of course Shen Wanjin wouldn't obediently wait for Kong Ji to recuperate before asking about the secret method of the Wild Lion, he needs to know something first.

Kong Ji sneered and said, "The poor monk is telling you now, do you dare to believe it?"

Shen Wanjin smiled and said: "Whether you dare or not is a matter for me, whether you say it or not is the sincerity of the master."

Kong Ji didn't open his eyes, but continued to lie down...

After a while, Kong Ji said, "Okay, I'll give you some first."

Kong Ji immediately said a few words about the secret method of the Wild Lion Art, and Shen Wanjin immediately wrote it down.

"Okay, I'll try it first, the master is at ease here to recuperate, there are plenty of soups, medicines and meals."

Shen Wanjin poured a bowl of water and put it on the table beside the bed, and climbed the ladder out of the secret room by himself.

Pushing back the planks, Shen Wanjin returned to the thatched hut, Heifeng was on guard.

"Landlord."

"You stay outside and don't let anyone get close."

Heifeng immediately went out to guard outside, Shen Wanjin closed the door, impatiently began to practice.

Next to the secret room, Gan Xin slowly smeared and crawled back, he heard it just now.

Gan Xin crawled back to the room and immediately started to practice.

...

Yangcheng.

After Long Chen finished writing the battle report, he carefully put it into a bamboo tube, and used it to seal it with mud and a seal.

After carefully sealing it, Long Chen handed it over to He Juntao, and sent it to the capital overnight.

Coming out of the room, Long Chen walked into the backyard and into the room, where Wu Xiangyun was fanning Wu Chuchu to cool him down.

The weather was too hot, and Wu Chuchu couldn't lie down, her body was covered in sweat.

"Husband."

Long Chen sat down, took the fan, and said: "There is no ice here, it's too hot."

"Is there any water in the well? Get some and come and wipe yourself."

Wu Xiangyun said helplessly: "Where is it? The wells are all exhausted. Xixia is much worse than Dazhou, and there is not enough water."

If it is in Prince Wu's Mansion, there must be ice to cool down at this time.

"Xixia is like this, there is no way."

"Ask the people in the prefect's mansion if there is saltpeter, and bring it if you have."

Many servants in the prefect's mansion did not run away, Long Chen let them do things as usual, and did not make things difficult for them.

Wu Xiangyun asked, "What do you want saltpeter for?"

Long Chen said: "Take it here and you'll know."

Wu Xiangyun went out immediately, Long Chen took the fan to help Wu Chuchu fan the wind.

Fine beads of sweat wet the light silk pajamas, and Wu Chuchu lay on her stomach, outlining a perfect curve.

Long Chen couldn't help but get started.

"Husband, I'm already like this, and you still take advantage of me."

Wu Chuchu said angrily.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Just because you were injured, otherwise, I've already dealt with you."

Wu Chuchu Jiao snorted, "Apart from my body, what else do you know?"

Long Chen rubbed it there, and said with a smile, "I'm still thinking about the smell of your perfume."

Wu Chuchu patted Long Chen's hand, and scolded with a smile: "Shameless, can I drink perfume! I miss it every day!"

Long Chen smiled and said, "You don't know if you can drink it or not?"

Wu Chuchu didn't want to continue this topic, so she turned her head and said, "Hurry up and fan, it's too hot."
