From eunuch to emperor

Lu Ji returned to True Fire City and reported the matter to Yu Fuguo.

After getting the news, Yu Fuguo found Huairen's soldier and asked him to report the news.

Yu Fuguo walked to Li Zhaoliang's camp by himself.

After entering the tent, Li Zhaoliang was discussing with Huairen.

"Grandpa Yu, you are back, you have worked hard."

Li Zhaoliang was very excited to see Yu Fuguo, he couldn't sleep or eat these days, and he was afraid that he would collapse after talking with Long Chen.

"The old slave pays homage to the emperor."

Yu Fuguo pretended to be tired, Huairen immediately poured tea, Yu Fuguo took a sip, and said: "Thanks to the great blessing of the emperor, fortunately, I will not disgrace my life."

Li Zhaoliang was overjoyed to hear that the matter was settled.

Huairen suspected that Yu Fuguo was deceitful, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will retire first."

Yu Fuguo immediately said: "They are all from our own family, why did Master Huai avoid it?"

Li Zhaoliang immediately explained: "Hui Aiqing has other matters, let him go."

Huairen immediately gave a big account.

Li Zhaoliang pulled Yu Fuguo to sit down, and said, "Did Long Chen make any other requests?"

Yu Fuguo wiped his face, and said: "Long Chen didn't say any additional conditions. When the empress heard that she was going to withdraw her troops, Feng Yan was furious at that time, but fortunately, Long Chen was on the sidelines to dissuade her."

Li Zhaoliang sighed: "Long Chen is from Daliang after all, he is willing to speak for Daliang."

Yu Fuguo knew that Li Zhaoliang was praised in secret and that Long Chen was already the King of Wu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had a blood feud with Li Chengdao, so it was not normal for him to speak for Liang everywhere.

Yu Fuguo said: "The late emperor has passed away, and the hatred has been cleared away. Long Chen's ancestral mausoleum is in Jinling, and he doesn't want to be occupied by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Speaking of which, Li Zhaoliang forgot to ask where Li Chengdao went last time.

Because Li Zhaoliang actually didn't care about Li Chengdao's life and death, it would be better if Li Chengdao died, otherwise he, the emperor, would be embarrassed.

When Yu Fuguo said that Li Chengdao had passed away, Li Zhaoliang was surprised and asked, "Yes..."

Yu Fuguo nodded slightly and said: "It was killed by Long Chen and the empress together, and the ghost fled to the ice field."

Li Zhaoliang looked sad, looked up to the sky and said with grief and indignation: "The emperor was murdered by the thieves, but I want to make peace with them. I... am ashamed of the emperor, and the ancestors of Daliang!"

This is the best result, Li Chengdao died in Long Chen's hands, the Long family's revenge was avenged, and Long Chen would not take his anger out on him.

Li Zhaoliang was sad on the surface, but he relaxed in his heart. He felt safe.

Yu Fuguo didn't expect Li Zhaoliang's thoughts, he thought Li Zhaoliang was really sad.

"Your Majesty, this is the late Emperor's own choice. Your Majesty must not disappoint the late Emperor's great trust. The Great Liang and Jiangshan must not be ruined."

"Long Chen used to hate the late emperor. After killing the late emperor, he actually felt remorse in his heart. After all, he was his own king."

"That's why Long Chen wanted to keep Jinling City. He wanted to make up for it."

Yu Fuguo took the opportunity to lie, and Li Zhaoliang said sadly, "Brother Huang bought this beam with his life."

Speaking of this, Li Zhaoliang burst into tears, Yu Fuguo followed suit, and the two monarchs and ministers wept at each other.

After crying for a long time, Li Zhaoliang's sleeves became a little wet, and Yu Fuguo persuaded him, "Your Majesty, this is not the time to be sad. Jinling City has not been recovered, and Liang Zhengtong must not leave Jinling."

Li Chengdao nodded and said: "Okay, Eunuch Yu goes down to rest, I will calm down."

Knowing that Li Zhaoliang was waiting for news from Huairen, Yu Fuguo bowed, "The old slave is retiring, and the emperor mourns."

After finishing speaking, Yu Fuguo withdrew from the tent.

Seeing that Yu Fuguo had left, Huairen immediately walked into the big tent, Li Zhaoliang asked anxiously, "Is the news true?"

He hoped the news was true.

Huairen nodded and said, "It's true. The people sent said that Yu Fuguo had been arguing with the empress for a long time in the city, and the Eastern Zhou army had begun to withdraw."

Li Zhaoliang was overjoyed and said: "Okay, order the whole army to move out immediately!"

Huairen immediately issued an order, and the soldiers and civilians immediately marched back to Jinling.

The soldiers in the army didn't know why, so Huairen said that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was willing to return Jinling. After hearing this, the soldiers and the people all shouted long live.

...

Linjiang City.

Most of the army here followed Long Chen's eastward expedition, leaving only more than 1000 guards.

After receiving the news of the great victory on the front line, the soldiers in the city celebrated.

Daoist Xuanzhen walked on the street, and Xiaodaotong looked at the soldiers celebrating, feeling amused.

Several children ran past, shouting as they ran, "Master Wang is victorious, Master Wang is victorious..."

Xiao Daotong raised his head and asked Taoist Xuanzhen: "Master, did Long Chen win?"

Taoist Xuanzhen didn't speak, brother Liang Yao said: "Did you say he won?"

Daoist Xuanzhen found a young general and asked, "General, I would like to ask, did Guitu and Li Chengdao die in the Battle of Jinling?"

All the soldiers in the city knew that Xuanzhen, master and apprentice were guests of honor, and they were very polite.

The young general replied: "Master Daoist, this question is really embarrassing for you, I don't know."

"There are only good news from the front line, saying that Jinling City has been broken and Wang Shi has won a great victory, that's all."

The message sent back is very simple, the young general really doesn't know.

Taoist Xuanzhen nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, General."

The young general immediately returned the gift: "The Taoist priest is polite."

Taoist Xuanzhen walked back slowly, Liang Yao said: "Master, we should go with Long Chen."

Liang Yao really wanted to see the methods of ghost fetuses with his own eyes. The mission of their Raging Fire Temple was to deal with ghost clans.

If you haven't even seen the ghost clan, how to deal with the ghost clan?

Taoist Xuanzhen said: "Although the leader is a ghost, but the battle happened between human races, I can't bear to watch it as a teacher."

Moreover, watching the battle with the army, if Long Chen and the Empress are in danger, please ask Xuan Zhen to take action, Xuan Zhen will definitely not be able to refuse.

He didn't want to intervene in the struggle between the human races.

Xiao Daotong said: "But Master, together with the ghost clan, they are the lackeys of the ghost clan."

Daoist Xuanzhen didn't speak, and continued to walk back.

Liang Yao said: "Looks like Long Chen doesn't need our help."

Priest Xuanzhen still didn't speak, and walked slowly back to his residence.

...

South of Jinling City.

When Li Zhaoliang's army arrived outside the city, the people ran faster than the soldiers, and they wanted to return to their homes.

The south gate was open, but there were no banners on the top of the city, and no soldiers were seen.

Riding on the horse, Li Zhaoliang looked towards Jinling, feeling both hopeful and nervous.

Finally returned to the Nanliang Imperial Capital, and can continue to be the emperor here.

However, he was also afraid that Long Chen would kill him suddenly, and he would be the turtle in the urn.

Ghost fetus and Li Zhaoliang couldn't stop him, so how could he, Li Zhaoliang and He De, be able to defend?

"emperor..."

Huairen was also worried, Li Zhaoliang stopped and said, "Huai Aiqing, go and have a look."

Huairen immediately led people into the city, and the people on the road were surging, and it was very difficult for Huairen to walk.

After the people entered the city, they thought that the houses in the city would be destroyed by the flames of war. The last time the Tianxia met with the imperial army, they destroyed the north of the city.

But the city is in order, and the damaged houses have been repaired, but the things inside are gone.

Long Chen sent people to repair the house, but the things inside were taken away by Nanliang soldiers, there is no way to do this.

"Great, my home is still here."

The people happily opened the door to go home, and cheers spread throughout Jinling.

After Huairen looked at it, he was sure that there was no Eastern Zhou army, so he immediately rode back.

On the way back, there were more people than horses could get through, so Huairen could only squeeze out of the city on foot.

When he reached Li Zhaoliang's side, Huairen said excitedly, "Your Majesty, Eastern Zhou really retreated."

Li Zhaoliang said happily: "Long Chen really keeps his word, he is Daliang's loyal minister!"
