From eunuch to emperor

dong dong dong...

The shadow guard knocked on the door vigorously, and shouted to the inside: "King Wu, Your Majesty invites you to discuss matters here!"

The voices in the room slowly stopped.

After a while, Long Chen opened the door and walked out. The shadow guard glanced inside and found that Mrs. Ziyun was getting dressed.

"There is an urgent matter in the Holy Spirit, please go over and discuss it with King Wu."

The shadow guard only glanced at it, then immediately withdrew his gaze.

"it is good."

Long Chen quickly walked into the empress' room, followed by the shadow guard.

"My minister pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

"Sit down, Feng He has sent a letter, saying that the ghost army is dispatched, and Li Chengdao leads an army of tens of thousands as the vanguard. At present, the target is Yanmen Pass."

The Empress handed over Feng He's letter, Long Chen accepted the letter, read it, and said: "As we expected, it really came to Yanmen Pass, this Martial Saint wants to kill me so much?"

This is good news, Wu Sheng did not attack Yuncheng, choosing Yanmen Pass is the best result.

The empress said: "Feng He said that the ghost clan has no war horses, so they rushed here from the Hela Pass on foot."

Long Chen said with a smile: "The Hela Pass is too cold, it's not surprising that the horses will freeze to death."

"They can turn people into half-ghosts, and war horses can also turn them into half-ghosts?"

The Empress said: "Last time Ma Feizi provided war horses, but this time there are no horses. We still have enough time to prepare for defense."

Long Chen said: "What can be prepared, what should be prepared, I hope they will come here sooner."

Waiting is a long process, a bit tormented.

For this battle, Yanmenguan has made all the preparations, and the final decisive battle between the human race and the ghost race is here.

"It's time to finish!"

The empress is also very confident, this time the situation is different, no longer a passive defense, but waiting for the ghost clan to come to her death.

"Is your new weapon reliable?"

The empress heard that Long Chen was tinkering with new things again.

Long Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's absolutely reliable."

The empress nodded slightly and said, "It's good to be reliable...why do you smell like purple clouds?"

Master Ziyun's rouge has a very special fragrance, and some spices unique to Zixiao Palace are added in it, and the empress knows it when she smells it.

"Huh? Oh, that... I just talked to her for a while."

It's hard for Long Chen to speak directly, but the empress knows it all.

"It seems that your body has recovered."

The empress sneered and mocked.

Some time ago, Long Chen bled and fed Baofengjian, his body was very weak.

Mrs. Ziyun is like a tiger in her forties, and she has the strength to deal with Mrs. Ziyun, which shows that her body has recovered.

"It's not what you think, we just talked for a while and warmed up together..."

Long Chen gave a symbolic explanation to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere.

The empress snorted coldly: "Keeping up by the fire? It's cold here too, why don't you come here to warm up?"

Long Chen chuckled and said: "I'm here, I can chat if the Holy Majesty needs it."

The empress stared at Long Chen for a long time, then raised her foot and kicked, and said, "Back off."

Long Chen left the room with a smile.

...

Cloud City.

Donna walked up and down the north tower, keeping an eye on the situation in the north.

According to Feng He's biography, the target of the ghost clan is Yanmen Pass, and Yuncheng is safe for the time being.

But Donna didn't dare to take it lightly. In case the Martial Saint shot directly at Yuncheng with a false shot, Yuncheng must know in advance and be prepared for the battle and retreat.

Waiting to ride a hundred miles to the north to investigate, almost every two hours, Xue Ying sent a letter back.

If the ghost soldiers appeared, Donna would know immediately.

"General Tang, Cheng Jin is back."

A soldier ran over from the west gate. When Tang Na heard that Cheng Jin was coming back, she rushed to the west gate and saw Cheng Jin and a dozen people riding out of the city on horseback.

The west city gate opened, Donna went down, Cheng Jin entered, and the soldiers immediately sealed the gate again.

"General Tang."

"General Cheng Jin has worked hard, everyone has worked hard."

Traveling with Cheng Jin was the Long Family Army, not ordinary soldiers from Yuncheng.

It was extremely cold near Bingyu Mountain, and ordinary soldiers could not stand it and would freeze to death.

"It's very hard. It's too difficult to walk in heavy snow."

Cheng Jin shook his head and sighed.

A dozen or so horses behind were dragging large bags. The horses wore thick horse clothes on their backs, and the bags were also separated by cotton cloth.

Bingyu is very cold, if it is pressed against the horse's back, the war horse will not be able to bear it.

"You dug so much back?"

Donna thought Cheng Jin only needed to dig a few dozen catties, but she didn't expect so much.

"King Wu ordered me to dig more. Bingyu Mountain is so far away. Now that we have arrived, it is always right to dig more."

This was Long Chen's order, and Cheng Jin acted according to the order.

"Go back, brothers, take a good rest."

Tang Na and Cheng Jin drove the horses to Yu Wenkai's yard. Halfway there, Cheng Jin realized that they were going to Yu Wenkai's residence.

"General Tang, why did you go to the courtyard of old general Yuwen?"

Cheng Jin felt that after returning, he should report to Long Chen instead of going to Yu Wenkai's courtyard first.

"King Wu is in the old general's courtyard."

Donna can't say outside that Long Chen is not here, so say so.

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "I see."

The two soon arrived at Yu Wenkai's residence and entered the courtyard. Tang Na sent the others out and closed the door. Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue came out to check on the situation.

"Cheng Jin, you're back."

Yang Hu was very happy to see him, Cheng Jin smiled and said: "I have seen General Yang and General Tan, is King Wu there?"

Yang Hu asked strangely: "Don't you know? The little general returned to Yanmen and closed it."

Cheng Jin froze for a moment, then turned to look at Donna, he thought that Donna was lying.

Tang Na immediately explained: "General Cheng, please don't misunderstand, King Wu has indeed returned to Yanmen Pass. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, this matter has not been made public, so I said that."

"Feng He heard the news from the north that the ghost clan has been dispatched, and the army is attacking in the direction of Yanmen Pass, so King Wu has gone back."

"King Wu left a letter for General Cheng before he left, and General Cheng knew it at a glance."

Donna hid the letter next to her body, and immediately showed it to Cheng Jin.

After reading the letter, Cheng Jin understood the reason.

"Cheng Jin is back, how many ice jades have you dug? So much?"

Yu Wenkai came out and was very happy to see Bingyu on horseback.

"Old general, King Wu ordered me to hand over this thing to you, so please accept it."

In the letter, Long Chen asked Cheng Jin to obey Yu Wenkai's command in everything.

Yu Wenkai patted the ice jade bag and said with a smile, "It's just right, I'll go talk to that beast."

Tang Na said nervously: "Old General, you promised King Wu."

It means, Yu Wenkai don't think about the holy beast, don't think about eating the holy beast.

"You don't need to tell me, I'm not a reincarnation of a starved ghost."

Yu Wenkai smiled, opened the courtyard door, and Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue drove the two horses to the ice cellar.

"General Tang, we..."

Cheng Jin was worried that Yu Wenkai couldn't bear it, and wanted to eat the holy beast, so he wanted to follow him to have a look.

Donna said in embarrassment: "I still want to patrol the city, you see..."

Cheng Jin was not stupid, and knew that Tang Na was playing tricks.

If Yu Wenkai really couldn't help but want to eat the holy beast, and the two sides fought again, Donna had to be there to persuade him.

But Donna couldn't persuade her at all, and she would be held accountable by then.

That being the case, don't go at all, lest you get into trouble.

"Oh, yes, I want to take a break too, I'm so tired."

Cheng Jin smiled, moved the ice jade bag on the horse's back, and went back to the house to rest.

Tang Na also guessed what Cheng Jin was thinking, so she went back to patrol the city wall without pointing it out.
