From eunuch to emperor

Wuming was lying on the bed with his ears pressed against the bed board. Although the sound of walking next door was small, he could hear it clearly.

Nameless breathes evenly and makes a slight snoring sound.

Next door, the young and elegant man turned his head and nodded slightly to the middle-aged man, then pulled out a copper pipe from his sleeve, and blew a puff of smoke through the gap in the wall.

Wuming saw the smoke, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. The thin man quietly took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

After blowing the smoke, the elegant young man returned to the table and waited for the middle-aged man to sit down.

"My lord, Pheasant has sent news that Long Chengen is drinking wine at the governor's residence, how about we do it tonight?"

These two people belonged to Nanliang Huangcheng Division, the middle-aged man was the chief detainee Hou Ping, and the young and elegant man was the detainee Zhang Peng.

The chief detainee, Hou Ping, said in a low voice: "No, we have just arrived, and things must be done safely."

"I heard that Qianjiang City has been controlled by pirates. The matter is more complicated. Let's take a look at the situation first."

"The army brought by Long Chengen is outside the city, so send someone to keep an eye on it."

Chief Zhang Peng nodded and said, "I'll go now."

Zhang Peng quietly opened the door, then stepped on the roof and disappeared into the night.

Wuming pretended to be asleep the whole time, pretending to be fascinated by the smoke.

He still doesn't know who is next door, but judging from the intermittent voice, the other party seems to be coming for Long Chen as well.

I didn't expect that so many people wanted Long Chen to die.

Wuming was thinking about how to find out the details of the other party, so as not to let the other party take the credit.

...

By the river outside the city.

Long Chen got up in the morning, stood by the river, just untied his belt, and planned to pee comfortably in the clear river water, when Zhang Qian came from behind.

I was planning to shoot at the river, but Zhang Qian came over, so I had to squat down to pee.

Zhang Qian was not polite either, she stood opposite Long Chen, pushed down her clothes, and relieved face to face.

"You haven't slept well in the past two days, and you're a little bit angry. When you go to the city, buy some herbal tea to reduce the fire."

Zhang Qian's water color was yellowish, Long Chen judged that she hadn't had a good rest these two days, so she must have gotten angry.

Zhang Qian looked down and asked, "Can you see this?"

Long Chen said with certainty: "I'm on fire, pay attention to rest."

After urinating, he lifted his trousers, fastened his belt, walked a little upstream, and washed his face in the river water.

Just when she was about to walk back, Dugu Jiali walked over while untying her belt.

"My lord...you...wash your face?"

Dugu Jiali re-tied her belt in embarrassment.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Holding your urine is not good for your health, we just finished urinating, so it doesn't matter."

Dugu Jiali knew that Long Chen was an eunuch, but she was embarrassed to explain in front of Long Chen.

Zhang Qian said: "It's okay, it's not a man, the princess doesn't mind."

Long Chen said seriously: "When I fought with the princess, we also relieved together, it doesn't matter."

Dugu Jiali hesitated for a moment, and squatted down beside a bush...

The skin of people with western origin is different, especially white.

"What are you looking at?"

Long Chen stared intently, Zhang Qian had a lot of opinions.

"She's also a little angry, and the color of the water is yellowish. Let's buy some herbal tea together."

Long Chen has good eyesight and can see clearly.

Dugu Jiali stood up, then lowered her head and put on her clothes.

Back in the military tent, Wu Jian was practicing his saber, seeing Long Chen coming back, Wu Jian put away his saber and came over.

Wu Xiangyun came out of the military tent, the scars on his face hadn't come off yet, and he was leaning on a cane in his left hand.

Wu Xiangyun tidied up her hair and changed her clothes. You can see that everyone looks like a lady.

"My lord, why did you rob the people last night?"

Wu Xiangyun questioned.

She heard the movement last night, held back all night, but still couldn't hold back.

Long Chen said: "Don't worry, everything will be returned, and I will double the compensation, so you can rest assured."

"Lieutenant Wu, take the Xiaoqi guards and follow me into the city."

Long Chen, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian took Xiaoqi to Qianjiang County.

Dugu Jiali comforted Wu Xiangyun: "Don't worry, we only robbed things and didn't hurt anyone. My lord knows it well."

Wu Xiangyun asked back: "Is it right to grab something?"

Dugu Jiali said: "This is just part of the plan. We are officers and soldiers, not pirates."

Wu Xiangyun sighed and returned to the military tent leaning on crutches.

When Long Chen arrived at the gate of the west city, Sima Dou Yufei greeted him at the gate.

"Lord Long, by order of the governor, I am here to welcome you."

Long Chen's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, ignored Dou Yufei, and rode straight into the city.

The city is bustling in the early morning, and the merchants and common people are eating breakfast. The smell of meat and the sound of yelling merge together, giving people a feeling of prosperity.

At a breakfast stall next to them, a pale man and a lean man bowed their heads to eat breakfast.

These two people are Wuming and his lieutenant general of the dark guard.

The two of them ate with their heads down, without moving their heads or hands, they only glanced at Long Chen from the corner of their eyes.

Long Chen didn't notice Wuming's peeping, and continued to ride his horse through the street. When he arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi and a young man with elegant appearance passed by not far away.

These two people are Hou Ping, chief escort officer of the Imperial City Department, and Zhang Peng, chief escort officer.

At the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Chen Zu and a group of officials greeted him respectfully.

"grown ups."

Long Chen got off his horse, didn't talk to Chen Zu at all, walked into the main hall and sat down, his face was full of displeasure.

Zhang Qian and Wu Jian stood guard by the side, also looking indifferent.

Chen Zu didn't know what Long Chen meant, so he asked cautiously: "My lord seems to be in a bad mood today."

Long Chen looked at Chen Zu coldly, and asked: "You said that there are no pirates in Qianjiang County, why did I see villages and towns looted by pirates last night?"

Chen Zu looked bewildered, and thought to himself: Isn't it you who stole things yourself?

"My lord, last night... last night... was not a pirate last night."

Chen Zu really wanted to say, it was obviously you who set up troops to plunder, so it's none of my business!

Long Chen cursed loudly: "It's not a sea bandit, could it be that this officer snatched it up!"

The officials below, including Juncheng, Sima, and the master, looked at each other in blank dismay. They all knew what happened last night in their hearts, but they couldn't explain it clearly.

Chen Zu smiled apologetically, not knowing how to answer.

Long Chen sat down with a dark face, and asked: "How did you go about recruiting soldiers?"

Chen Zu immediately replied: "The lower officials have set up a recruiting booth in the city."

Long Chen asked: "How many soldiers and horses have you recruited?"

Chen Zu said embarrassingly: "It's just started, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there will be."

Long Chen's face was gloomy and cold, his eyes were full of disgust, he snorted coldly: "Trash!"

The officials and yamen servants below rolled their eyes back and forth. They looked dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to attack.

Wu Jian came out and reprimanded: "Lord Long hasn't had breakfast yet, what do you people do, quickly arrange the meals."

Chen Zu immediately had someone carry the dining table up.

Long Chen glanced at the food, and said coldly: "What, go outside and buy some food and come back!"

Wu Jian immediately trotted out to buy some food outside the Governor's Mansion.

Not far away, the chief detainee Hou Ping saw Wu Jian, his eyes suddenly became cold: "Do you think he looks like?"
