From eunuch to emperor

"I'm still thinking."

Long Chen smiled helplessly, kicked Miaoyin Yuzu, and cursed softly: "I hate it!"

The empress said with a headache: "Li Chengdao suffered a big loss and lost the Xuanwu sword, but the spirit snake and black turtle were almost unscathed. There are ghost soldiers guarding the top of the mountain. It is difficult to rush up."

"Storm Canyon is insurmountable. The army is blocked outside and cannot advance an inch."

"It's a long journey from Yuncheng to here, and it consumes countless money and food every day. If it takes too long, it will be too much."

The battle is all about logistics. If it lasts for a long time, the Central Plains will be dragged down.

The ghosts can go without food for ten days and a half, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers cannot. They must eat enough food every day. It is cold here and the food consumption is even greater.

A protracted war is not a wise choice, a quick victory is the best.

Long Chen said: "I'm still thinking..."

After drinking two cups of tea, Long Chen stood up and left. Miaoyin chuckled behind him and said, "Just leaving? Aren't you going to spend the night here?"

Long Chen ignored it and went straight back to his tent. Yu Ying stood there awkwardly.

"Don't look, the holy sword is on me, you can't find it."

Yu Ying's expression looked wrong. She was obviously looking for something in the tent, although it didn't look like anything had been moved.

Yuying's expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth, wanting to argue something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Long Chen's attitude just now was very bad. I don't know what Long Chen will say when he comes back. Yu Ying wants to leave a way out for himself.

The ghost clan's holy sword is in Long Chen's hands. If he can find the holy sword and bring it back to Li Chengdao, he can turn over.

She was a little clever. From the beginning, she wanted to dedicate it to Li Chengdao instead of dedicating it to Yue Lang.

"How many of you ghosts don't want to fight anymore?"

Long Chen spoke, and Yu Ying immediately answered: "Many, Yuecheng was attacked, and we experienced a huge defeat. In fact, most of the clan members don't want to fight anymore. It was Yuelang who forced us to do it."

"Even Yuelang doesn't want to fight. He just wants to keep the throne and plans to lead his tribe to evacuate to the Sea of ​​Darkness."

Long Chen asked again: "Are you sure to convince them?"

Yuying replied truthfully: "As long as King Wu can kill Li Chengdao, Yuelang will lose his backing, and I am sure to control the saints."

Long Chen nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, you should be aware of the grudges between this king and Li Chengdao."

Yuying nodded and said: "I have heard that King Wu and Li Chengdao will fight until death."

She had only heard a few words about these things, and the only thing she could be sure of was that Long Chen and Li Chengdao had a deep blood feud, and one of them had to die to stop.

Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, this king's purpose is to kill Li Chengdao, it has nothing to do with your ghost clan."

"This king has an enmity with the ghost fetus. The ghost fetus is dead. The ancestors of this king have enmity with the martial saint. The martial saint is dead. The ghost girl is also dead. This king has nothing to do with your ghost clan."

"If Yuelang hadn't lured the wolf into the house, and Li Chengdao would still be on the grassland, I wouldn't have to invade the ice field, and you ghost clan wouldn't have to die."

Yu Ying was overjoyed. Long Chen said this and agreed to cooperate.

"I promise to cooperate with you, but you must promise that after you ascend the throne, your people will withdraw from the war, seal off the Storm Canyon, never leave the ice field, and are not allowed to step into the Central Plains!"

Long Chen's face was sharp and he made his request.

Yuying immediately replied: "I promise, when I ascend the throne, my people will immediately withdraw from the war and never leave the Holy Land!"

Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Okay, you will stay in my tent for the time being. Li Chengdao occupies Storm Canyon, and you can't go back."

Yu Ying bowed: "Thank you King Wu."

Long Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any way you can pass through Storm Canyon?"

Yuying thought hard for a long time, this was the first time Long Chen asked questions, and she really wanted to find a way.

"There is no way. There is only one passage between the Holy Land and the Central Plains, the canyon, and there is no other way."

Yuying was helpless.

Long Chen nodded and said: "Oh, it seems the only option is to attack by force."

The fish shadow said: "We cannot attack by force. There are three thousand strong men on the top of the mountain. They have piled many huge rocks on the top of the mountain."

"In addition to three thousand strong men, there are also ten thousand crossbowmen on the top of the mountain. If we attack by force, the losses will be huge."

Long Chen glanced at Yu Ying, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, it's getting late. I'll sleep here, and you can sleep over there."

The fish shadow lay down in the corner, and Long Chen blew out the candle.

Yuying couldn't sleep at all, she was very excited and frightened, her eyes kept rolling in the dark.

...

Ice field, mountain pass camp.

Yue Lang was sitting in the igloo when Yu Nan got in and said, "Your Majesty, those two monsters are asleep."

"Where will you sleep? In the palace?"

Yue Lang originally wanted to live in the Ice Palace, but he was afraid of black turtles and spiritual snakes, so he had to live in the ice house.

Yu Nan said: "No, they ate a few brothers and slept in the igloo."

Yue Lang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll just sleep here."

He didn't dare go back for fear of being hit and eaten.

Moreover, Li Chengdao seemed to be in bad condition, and it would be very dangerous if he broke out.

"Hey, trouble, you lured the wolf into the house, those two monster fetuses are actually monsters."

Yue Lang leaned against the ice wall with a gloomy look on his face.

Yu Nan didn't speak and stood quietly.

"Fetch the great elder."

Yu Nan went out, and the great elder Keling got in.

"His Majesty."

"sit down."

Ke Ling sat down, Yue Lang felt a headache, and Yu Nan sat beside him.

"You go out on patrol and be careful of Long Chen's sneak attack."

Yu Nan stood up and left.

"Great Elder, what should we do now?"

Yue Lang asked with a headache.

Ke Ling sighed and said: "What else can I do, everyone who obeys Li Chengdao, it doesn't matter if they are powerful, at least they can block Long Chen."

He saw the terror of the spirit snake and also saw Long Chen's methods.

In the presence of two monster fetuses, Li Chengdao actually lost his Xuanwu sword and had an arm cut off. Without the two monsters, the ghost tribe could only squat down and die.

Yue Lang looked ugly and said: "Compared to Long Chen, I am more afraid of Li Chengdao now."

"If Long Chen attacks, we can retreat to the dark place. Long Chen can't stay here, and our saint clan can still be preserved."

"But... Li Chengdao, how can he spend his time? In fact, I have never thought of letting our tribe fight to the death with Long Chen. We are no match."

Great Elder Ke Ling knew that Yue Lang didn't want to fight to the death.

When lobbying the various tribes, Yuelang advocated retreating to avoid war.

"Who dares to disobey? If you don't obey, His Majesty's safety will not be guaranteed."

Keling sighed helplessly.

Some clan elders wanted to leave and led their clansmen to retreat to a desolate place to save their lives. Ke Ling told them not to move. Li Chengdao kept a close eye on them so that no one could escape.

"I now... suspect that there is something wrong with Yu Nan and Yu Lang."

Yue Lang recalls his original decision. Yu Nan and Yu Lang tricked him into coming here. The two of them seemed to have rebelled.

"Why? They took refuge in Li Chengdao?"

Great Elder Ke Ling had a bad feeling.

"I originally wanted Yu Nan and Yu Lang to lead the troops and isolate Li Chengdao, but now I find that they have taken refuge with Li Chengdao. The soldiers of my holy clan are all under Li Chengdao's control."

Yue Lang was very upset, things were completely out of control, and he, the king, became a puppet.

"Troublesome..."

The Great Elder Ke Ling frowned and said: "Don't be afraid, the warriors of the Holy Clan cannot listen to Li Chengdao's generals. Even if Yunan and Yulang rebel, we clan elders will still be there."

"As long as we speak out, our people will not follow Li Chengdao."

Ke Ling was very sure of this. These warriors had not settled in Yuecheng for a long time. They had always been with the tribe, and the orders of the tribe elders were far more useful than those of the generals.
