From eunuch to emperor

Linhu City.

The ghost sits in the yard with the sky full of stars above his head.

Feng Erniang walked to the front quickly, and said: "Master, Long Chen set up an iron chain at the mouth of the lake, connecting the mountains on the east and west sides."

Long Chen was doing something at Hukou, Feng Erniang reported it immediately when she found out.

The ghost felt a little strange, and asked: "Isn't the iron chain used to connect the warship? How did it connect two mountains?"

Earlier Feng Erniang said that the iron cable was used to connect the warship, but now it is not, it feels bad.

Feng Erniang immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This subordinate is incompetent, the information is wrong, and Long Chen is still connecting the iron chain, I don't know what his intention is."

The ghost thought for a while, and said: "Get Li Chengdao, and Yu Ziming."

This time, the ghost didn't look for a mystery, this old thing has no use other than lust.

In the past, Xuanjizi could follow Li Chengdao to be a dog-headed military advisor by relying on the cultivation of Emperor Wu.

Now against Long Chen, Xuan Jizi seems not enough.

Feng Erniang immediately sent an order that Li Chengdao and Yu Ziming came in and knelt down at the same time.

"Meet the Holy Son."

The ghost said: "That guy Long Chen connected the two banks with iron cables at the mouth of the lake, what do you think he wants to do?"

Li Chengdao and the others had heard that Long Chen was building a warship, but they hadn't heard anything about iron chains.

So, after the ghostly question, both of them were a little confused.

"This..."

Yu Ziming was puzzled, and Li Chengdao was also speechless, not knowing what Long Chen meant.

"Are you all dumb?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Guitai's face suddenly changed, and he was very unhappy.

Li Chengdao replied: "The water at the mouth of the lake is turbulent. This guy connects the two mountains. Maybe he wants to build a chain bridge."

He could only think of this.

Ghostly thinking, I think it shouldn't be.

It took so much effort just to build the chain bridge?

Yu Ziming said: "Once the chain bridge is built, Long Chen can quickly increase his troops to cut off the reinforcements from Zhongwu City, which is faster than taking a boat."

The ghost still doesn't feel right.

"The iron chain bridge is built at the mouth of the lake, where the water flow is fast and the most difficult to build. Why did he choose there?"

Ghost fetus thought and thought, but couldn't figure out the reason.

"Keep an eye on him and see what he wants to do!"

The ghost has no choice but to send someone to stare at him, there is no other way.

Feng Erniang immediately sent someone to follow her.

...

Xianhe City.

Yingfeng entered the room with Long Chen's letter and presented it to the Empress.

Opening the letter, the empress nodded after reading it, "It's done, this kid really has a way!"

Yingfeng also sighed: "The water flow at the mouth of the lake is too fast, with all kinds of whirlpools and undercurrents. King Wu can complete the iron chain across the river, which is really amazing."

The empress said happily: "The lake mouth is blocked, and the following things will be easy to handle. Let all the troops and horses get ready, only the rainstorm will come."

Yingfeng immediately sent orders to all ministries.

...

To the west of the lake.

An old dilapidated fishing boat slowly swung over and stopped not far from Long's camp. An old fisherman on board was watching.

Looking at the iron chain on Hengjiang, the old fisherman had a complicated expression.

He heard about Dongzhou Tiesuo Hengjiang yesterday, and the old fisherman immediately remembered the conversation with Long Chen.

He suspected that the young man he met that night was not from Nanliang, but King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So, the old fisherman swayed the broken boat to the southwest.

"Old man, long time no see."

Long Chen suddenly appeared on the shore, followed by Gan Zhen and Ni Linjun. The old fisherman was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The grass people are paying their respects to your lord, the grass people are just passing by..."

The old fisherman was afraid that Long Chen would kill someone to silence him, and he regretted that he shouldn't come here to watch the excitement.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Thank you for your guidance, old man. After this battle, I will thank you very much."

Sure enough, the person in front of him was King Wu of the Great Zhou, and the old man wanted to jump into the water to escape.

Long Chen saw the panic of the old man, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, old man, I'm not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, murders and silences people. It's about to rain, please stay in the army for a few days."

Gan Zhen and the others immediately carried the old fisherman ashore, but the old fisherman was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Long Chen comforted him with kind words: "I didn't lie to you, don't panic, if you want to kill, you can do it now, why beat around the bush."

"After the battle is over, I will thank you very much."

The old fisherman didn't dare to speak, so he had to follow Gan Zhen.

Long Chen doesn't kill people to silence him, but he also needs to prevent this old man from telling the truth.

If the ghost finds out, it will definitely destroy the iron chain at all costs, and Long Chen's plan will come to naught.

Back at the barracks, Long Chen stayed in a cave.

Long Chen didn't leave, he was worried that the ghost would destroy the iron chain.

The southeast wind was blowing, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.

...

On Linhu City.

Yin Shan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the flickering thunder and lightning in the sky, and said with some joy: "The rainy season is coming soon, Long Chen can rest for a while."

Yu Ziming, Minister of the Ministry of War, was beside him and asked, "How do you see it?"

Yin Shan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said: "If the rainstorm doesn't stop, Long Chen won't be able to march, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

Yin Shan has never fought a war, nor has he been on a battlefield, so he is afraid of the current situation.

I thought that the ghost was invincible, but I didn't expect to be seriously injured by Long Chen and dare not go out to fight. The situation is very bad.

Looking at the cloudy sky, Yu Ziming nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the rainy season is coming, it can stop for a while."

...

Facing the southwestern bank of the lake, Long Chen sat cross-legged in the cave. The weather before the heavy rain was very sultry, especially in the cave.

It was too hot to bear, Long Chen got up and went outside.

Standing outside, a gust of cool wind blows, the big raindrops start to fall, and the sky is thunder and lightning.

The rainstorm finally started.

Long Chen returned to the entrance of the cave, watching the raindrops fall like broken beads.

Gan Zhen woke up from the dream, stood up and looked at the heavy rain outside, and said happily: "It's raining!"

...

Xianhe City.

The empress was reviewing the memorial in her room. When the rainstorm fell, the empress put down her ink brush, stood at the door, and reached out to catch the raindrops.

"It's finally started..."

The rainstorm came as promised, Long Chen's plan could be carried out.

...

The torrential rain continued, and at Mao shi the next day, the sky was still dark and heavy, making people breathless.

The sky seemed to be split open, and the water of the Milky Way vented down.

In Linhu City, the ghost looked at the heavy rain, feeling suspicious in his heart, he was still thinking about what Long Chen was doing with the iron chain.

"Do you want to be flooded?"

The idea of ​​flooding the city flashed by, and Guitai immediately denied this idea.

Feng Erniang said from the side: "Linhu City has been here for hundreds of years, and the lake's water has fluctuated. It has never been heard that the city was submerged."

Feng Erniang knew a little about the history of Linhu City, but she had never heard of Linhu City being flooded.

The ghost also thought it was impossible, shook his head and said: "This seat is overthinking, the sky is raining heavily, and the logs that Long Chen felled will be washed away."

Feng Erniang echoed: "This subordinate also thinks so, without giant trees, it would be impossible for him to build a warship."

The ghost said coldly: "Wait, it's rare for this guy to stop."

Zhong Gui was also in the city watching the torrential rain outside, and he closed the doors and windows of the room.

"Your Majesty, the rain is really heavy. I have never seen such a heavy rain in previous years."

Zhong Gui wiped the wet tables and chairs.

Li Chengdao looked at the torrential rain outside, and muttered to himself: "Iron cables...warships..."

Li Chengdao heard about Long Chen in the southwest of Linhu Lake.

At first, like a ghost, he couldn't figure out what Long Chen wanted to do.

When the torrential rain fell, Li Chengdao seemed to understand.

"This guy...he wants to flood the city."

A wicked smile appeared on Li Chengdao's face.
