From eunuch to emperor

The army marched north, and the empress got into the carriage, took off her armor, and changed into ordinary clothes.

The armor was uncomfortable to wear, and it was also uncomfortable to ride for a long time.

Beside the road, the landlord of Miaoyin, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin were waiting, and behind them stood seven scholars, Li and Hong Xiao.

Long Chen dismounted, patted his buttocks, and said, "Taking a boat is more comfortable than riding a horse."

Gan Xin, Mo Lin and the others bowed and said, "King Wu."

The carriage stopped, Yingfeng reported, the Empress opened the curtain, and everyone bowed and said, "My lord."

The empress said: "Excuse me, sister Miaoyin is here to speak."

The empress got acquainted with Ziyun and Miaoyin, the empress was the oldest, Ziyun was the second, and Miaoyin was the youngest.

So the empress called Miaoyin her younger sister.

Miao Yin got into the carriage with a smile, and said, "My sister's makeup is very beautiful today."

The empress smiled and said, "My sister's headgear is also very good."

Putting down the curtain, the carriage continued to move forward, and Yingfeng led the shadow guards.

Long Chen asked: "Where are Hu Feiyang and Hua Kuohai? I asked them to wait at the north gate, but I haven't seen anyone."

When in South Camp, Long Chen said the time and place, but these two people didn't show up.

Gan Xin said: "They are a little ahead. There were too many officials at the north gate just now, and they were embarrassed."

The general of the defeated army and the minister of the subjugated country have no face to face the civil and military officials of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Long Chen smiled and said: "At this time, you still care about face so much, let's go."

Long Chen got on his horse, Gan Xin, Mo Lin and his party followed.

After walking not far, Hu Feiyang and Hua Kuohai were riding on horseback, wearing civilian clothes and without weapons, waiting by the side of the road.

Seeing Long Chen, the two nodded slightly, then mixed into the army and headed north.

...

There is Mengling County in the north of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The county seat is half mountainous and half plain. The county seat is located in the middle of the terrain boundary, with mountains in the northwest and plains in the southeast.

The folk customs in Mengling County are fierce and martial arts are popular, and there have been many generals and martial arts teachers.

A beautiful-looking woman, wearing blue clothes and a cloak, sat on a steed, followed by two female disciples.

The three of them rode to the gate of the city. Seeing that they were carrying weapons, the guards immediately stopped them and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing?"

Liu Hanyan took out a token from her bosom, and the soldier saw the token and said respectfully, "Please."

The two female disciples behind him were not surprised by this at all, they seemed to be used to it.

The leading woman is Liu Hanyan, the head of Liuye Village, and the token in her hand was given by Long Chen, allowing her to travel unimpeded within the Great Zhou territory.

When the three of them entered the city, Liu Hanyan watched as they walked, Mengling City looked a bit sluggish, probably because of the weather.

This place is in the north, much colder than the capital, the cold wind blows the ground very clean, the shops on both sides are closed, and there are few pedestrians on the street.

"Master, I heard that Mengling City is very bustling, why is it so deserted?"

A female disciple with a round face asked.

This female disciple was named Chen Ying, she had just started, because of her good aptitude, Liu Hanyan took her out to practice.

Another female disciple said: "I heard that Mengling City is prosperous because there are many business travelers coming and going. Now that Yanmen Pass has been attacked and business travelers have been cut off, it is normal for this place to be deserted."

This thinner woman is named Song Xin, and she usually follows Liu Hanyan, and her cultivation qualifications are also good.

Liu Hanyan relied on the exercises given by Long Chen to break through the Martial Emperor, and she can be considered a master in the martial arts.

Coupled with the special relationship with Long Chen, Liuyezhuang is now a major martial arts school with more than 200 disciples.

This time I came to Mengling County because I heard that the enemy is here.

When Tiger Wang attacked Liuye Village back then, he was not the only one who did it, there were many martial arts scum who followed.

Long Chen and Liu Hanyan killed a lot, and left some to hide.

Among them was a man named Qiu Chenglong, who was said to be in Mengling County.

Liu Hanyan brought two disciples here to seek revenge.

"Master, let's find a place to eat first, I'm so hungry."

Disciple Chen Ying said with a smile.

Song Xin also said: "Master, I am also very hungry, and the horse is also tired."

It happened that Liu Hanyan was also hungry, and the three of them walked along the street for a long time before seeing an open inn.

Stopping in front of the door, the waiter inside took a look and made sure that the three of them were staying at the hotel, so they came out stooping and said, "Do you want to stay in the hotel, the three guest officials?"

Chen Ying said: "Two good guest rooms, let's have some food first."

Xiao Er greeted the door with a smile, and the shopkeeper was also very happy to see a customer coming.

The inn was empty, Liu Hanyan felt strange, even if the business travel was cut off and the weather was cold, it would not be so depressed.

Could it be... this is a black shop?

Liu Hanyan looked around vigilantly, but she didn't feel like it.

Chen Ying and Song Xin sat down, playing with chopsticks, waiting for the food to be served.

Not long after, Xiao Er brought three bowls of noodles, a plate of sliced ​​mutton, and a plate of salted radish.

"Guest officer, if you need anything else, you can tell me at any time."

Xiao Er went on cheerfully.

Chen Ying and Song Xin immediately picked up the chopsticks and devoured it, not like a girl at all.

Liu Hanyan wanted to say to see if it was poisonous first, but the two disciples had already eaten it.

Liuye Village is near the capital, relying on Long Chen's prestige, no one dares to provoke them, these disciples also became careless and defenseless.

This is not a good thing, in case of danger, it will be very troublesome.

Shaking her head, Liu Hanyan picked up chopsticks to eat noodles.

After eating, Xiao Er came over to clean up, and Liu Hanyan took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that Mengling County is very prosperous, how did it become so depressed?"

Xiao Er knew that they were foreigners, so she just smiled and said, "It's cold, that's why."

Seeing that Xiao Er didn't want to say anything, Liu Hanyan immediately took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and said, "I don't ask you for nothing."

Xiao Er immediately put down the dishes and collected the broken silver.

Looking back at the shopkeeper, Xiaoer said in a low voice: "Three guest officers, don't stay here overnight, leave as soon as you are full."

Liu Hanyan frowned and asked, "What's wrong? There's going to be a war here?"

Liu Hanyan also knew that the Long family army was going north to fight the ghost clan.

Xiao Er has no business and advises customers to leave, it must be because this place is too dangerous.

The greatest danger is war.

Xiao Er said in a low voice: "Guest officer, this city is haunted by ghosts, there are evil ghosts that cannibalize people."

Chen Ying giggled and said, "You're lying to children, there are ghosts, evil ghosts that cannibalize people."

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't believe it, the waiter frowned and said, "You don't believe it..."

Seeing Xiao Er muttering, the shopkeeper scolded, "Why are you doing nothing? What are you muttering about!"

Xiao Er immediately went down with the dishes, Liu Hanyan didn't finish her question, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about!"

Chen Ying and Song Xin smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Liu Hanyan was very kind to her disciples because she had suffered a lot, sometimes too good, these disciples had no rules.

"Go up and rest."

Liu Hanyan went upstairs, followed by Chen Ying and Song Xin.

There are two rooms, one for Liu Hanyan, one for Chen Ying and Song Xin.

It was getting dark outside, the inn was closed, Liu Hanyan came out of the room, found the mistress during the day, and asked: "You said there is a ghost, what ghost?"

Xiao Er looked at the dark night outside in horror, and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, don't say anything, what are you talking about, go back to your room and rest."

Seeing that Xiaoer was unwilling to speak, Liu Hanyan took out another piece of broken silver and said, "Money can make ghosts turn millstones, tell me!"
