From eunuch to emperor

After the holy beast entered the ice cellar, Long Chen seldom intervened, as long as the holy beast didn't run out, he didn't expect the holy beast to chat enthusiastically with the old guard.

"I have been out of my hometown for more than 400 years, but I have been locked under the altar, and the outside world has seen very little."

"I see even less of your world. This is the first time I have entered your city and talked to your people."

The holy beast looked around the houses in the city, speaking clearly.

"You speak well, with a Western Xia accent."

Long Chen couldn't help laughing, the holy beast learned to speak with the old guard, and this old guard is from Xixia, so the accent learned by the holy beast is a Xixia accent.

"I'm not stupid, and I learn things faster than you ordinary people."

The holy beast was somewhat proud and dissatisfied, feeling that Long Chen had underestimated its IQ.

"Are you here to see me for something?"

Going to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, the holy beast knows that Long Chen has a purpose in everything he does.

"Yes, I have something to talk to you about."

Long Chen walked into the ice cellar, followed by the holy beast.

The old guard was guarding the door, it was snowing constantly outside, and the old guard was so cold that he went back to the house to enjoy the fire.

After a while, the old guard came out to have a look, Long Chen and the holy beast were still inside.

After closing the door, the old guard continued to enjoy the fire.

It was cold and windy outside, and there was a brazier in the house, so the old guard began to doze off in a daze.

The door was pushed open, and the cold wind came in. The old guard was shocked and woke up immediately.

"Oh, I'll pay my respects to King Wu."

Opening his eyes, the old guard saw Long Chen coming in.

"You're welcome, you're an elder, there's nothing wrong with you."

Long Chen closed the door behind his back, and the old guard brought a broken chair and asked Long Chen to sit down.

"I don't want to sit anymore. I don't have anything else. You can buy some wine to warm up."

Long Chen took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the table, the old guard was overjoyed, and declined: "What did King Wu say, I just stayed here and didn't do anything."

Long Chen gave too many gold coins, the old guard was almost frightened.

"You always have time to chat with the holy beast, talk about our lives, nothing else."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"That's no problem, the younger one will definitely do it."

Long Chen gave so much, the old guard thought there was something important, so he chatted without thinking.

"Then thank you, you continue to warm up, I'll go first."

Long Chen smiled and went out, the old guard sent him out, watching Long Chen leave.

Back in the house, the old guard carefully collected the gold coins, and counted over and over against the brazier, a total of 110.

"That's enough. I have the coffin. I can find a beautiful wife for my son. I have enough money to buy land and build a house."

One of the sons of the old guard's family took refuge with his mother in the south.

There were originally residents in Yuncheng, but because of the war, Donna told them to move away so as not to be affected.

The old guard was getting old, and there was more work to do in the city, so he stayed.

He wanted to make a living here so as not to drag his son down.

In ancient times, eating was the biggest problem, and it would be nice to have a full mouthful.

Unexpectedly, Long Chen gave so much, the old guard was very happy.

"I don't know when this battle will end."

The old guard hid the gold coins close to his body, and looked at the heavy snow outside, and began to worry again in his heart.

When Long Chen returned to the residence, Dugu Jiali and Bai Tingting were packing their things.

"Bring what is necessary, leave the rest, and travel lightly."

Long Chen entered the room, took off his coat, and shook the snow off his body.

"I know, where did my husband go just now?"

Bai Tingting hung the coat on the rack.

"Find a friend, I'm leaving soon, say goodbye."

Long Chen sat down with a smile, Bai Tingting's face darkened, and said angrily: "Dead eunuch, please say it again."

Dugu Jiali giggled and said, "Don't pay attention to him, there are only soldiers in the city, so how can you find a good friend?"

"He is lustful and has high vision, and ordinary women don't like him at all."

Bai Tingting was right after thinking about it, she was too lazy to talk to Long Chen.

"Cheng Jin has been gone for so long, and my husband has left, do you want to leave a message for him?"

Dugu Jiali packed up her things and put them all on the table.

Cheng Jin was sent to Bingyu Mountain to chisel out ice jade and bring it back for the holy beast to eat. This errand would take some time.

"I've left him a letter and we're leaving tomorrow."

Long Chen had already made arrangements.

"Okay, I'll go find some horses with good endurance."

Dugu Jiali went out, while Long Chen was resting in the room.

...

ice field.

The storm blows through the canyon, and the snowflakes are blown into snow particles by the storm, filling the sky and the earth, a vast expanse of white, seemingly endless.

It has just snowed in Yuncheng, and there is already a thick layer of snow here.

The ice sheet is the coldest place, and the wind blows from the canyon like a source of wind and snow.

The ghost soldiers in Taniguchi Ice City were not affected at all, the cold and snow here were nothing compared to the ice field.

A figure walked slowly from the direction of the Black Forest, and when it arrived at Taniguchi Ice City, the ghost soldiers stopped it.

"I'm Cheng Hui, and I have important information to report to the king."

The person who came was the deputy commander of the spy, named Cheng Hui, and now he is the commander of the spy.

The original commander Meng Tian was eaten by the holy beast, and the deputy commander Cheng Hui took over and became the new commander.

The ghost general Yue Ling came over and said coldly: "The wind is still blowing in the Storm Canyon, can you go in?"

Cheng Hui laughed and said, "What General Yue Ling said is, I'll wait."

Yue Ling was very arrogant, and Cheng Hui didn't dare to talk back, so he had to wait obediently.

After the storm stopped, the Storm Canyon would be better, and Cheng Hui immediately entered the canyon.

In the canyon in winter, even if it is not windy, the cold wind inside is very strong.

Cheng Hui stepped on the thick snow and walked inside with difficulty against the cold wind.

It took Cheng Hui a long time to come out of the canyon of more than ten kilometers.

At the moment of entering the ice field, the storm stopped suddenly, only snowflakes kept falling.

The Dragon Slayer Army was practicing, and there was a burst of shouting and killing. Li Chengdao stood on the high platform and watched.

Cheng Hui glanced at Li Chengdao, walked a little faster, and hurried inside.

When he arrived at the gate of the Ice Palace, the guards stopped him, and Cheng Hui said: "The information on Yanmen Pass must be reported to the King, and please report it."

The guards didn't say anything, one walked in, and the other stopped Cheng Hui.

After a while, the guard came out and said coldly, "Go in."

Cheng Hui smiled, bowed his head and walked quickly to the room where Wu Sheng was.

He has been here several times and knows how to get there, and the guards have seen him several times, but his attitude is still very bad.

The door opened and Cheng Hui walked in. Wu Sheng was discussing with the ghost girl and the demon about sending troops.

"Subordinate Cheng Hui pays respects to His Majesty and Your Majesty."

Cheng Hui saluted Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl, but he didn't kneel down.

The soldiers under Wu Sheng's command don't have to kneel, only Li Chengdao kneels all day long.

"Well, what's going on at Yanmen Pass?"

Wu Sheng raised his head, and Cheng Hui immediately presented the information.

The demon came over, took the secret letter in Cheng Hui's hand, and passed it to Wu Sheng.

In the past, the demon spirit would not send things to the martial saint. The attitude of the demon spirit changed only after the martial saint was furious last time.

Wu Sheng took the secret letter and read it carefully, his face became ugly.

"What's the matter, husband?"

The ghost girl felt strange, what kind of information could make Wu Sheng look so bad?
