From eunuch to emperor

"I know what you mean, and I'm thinking about it along the way."

"With a half-ghost body and a thirst for human blood, a general can restrain himself, but ordinary soldiers can't help it."

The empress knew Long Chen's worries. If the warrior couldn't help but attack people, the matter would be serious.

More than 7 soldiers were disarmed and returned to the field, which was equivalent to putting down more than 7 vampires. From now on, the entire Central Plains will be filled with half-ghosts.

"There are also those martial arts sects. We needed their help and allowed them to become half-ghosts. Now it's time to take care of them."

"When I think about it, the martial arts sect should not have been allowed to participate in the war in the first place."

The empress later felt that there was something wrong with her original decision.

"When we hurriedly responded to the battle, the soldiers and horses under the command of Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl were all of Wu Huang cultivation. Ordinary soldiers were vulnerable and could only mobilize all available forces. There was no problem with the original decision."

Long Chen didn't think that it was all a fuss out of a molehill at that time. The situation at that time was extremely dangerous and all the forces that could be mustered must be gathered.

The people in the martial arts world had better cultivation than ordinary warriors at that time, so I wanted to take advantage of them.

Now that the war is over, these people should be dealt with.

"What are your plans?"

"I plan to station troops in Yuncheng and Yanmenguan. At the same time, I will send orders to all sects. All sects who have obtained ghost meat are not allowed to leave the mountain gate. Anyone who leaves without permission will be killed!"

Miaoyin asked: "What will happen if they don't obey your order?"

People in the world are most lazy and unruly, so her worries are not unreasonable.

Ziyun said: "They will abide by it. When the news of defeating the ghost clan comes out, no one in the world will be afraid."

Long Chen nodded and said: "It is precisely through the use of soldiers to coerce them and make them honest."

The empress nodded: "I agree with your idea, but what about the future? You asked Yu Shinan to find a way to rescue him, did he find it?"

Long Chen shook his head: "There is no reply. If the poison on the warrior cannot be eliminated...ah..."

The soldiers could accept temporarily staying at Yanmen Pass and Yuncheng, but if they were asked to stay at the border for the rest of their lives, they would definitely rebel and mutiny.

The empress said: "The battle is over, but I don't feel much relieved."

Long Chen nodded and said: "Life is like this, mountains and rivers come and go, there is no time to stop."

"I'll send a letter first to ask how Yu Shinan's situation is."

The empress nodded, Long Chen stood up, Miaoyin smiled and said: "Not staying?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "What do you want me to do in front of my mother-in-law?"

Miaoyin laughed and scolded: "Little bastard, what are you talking about!"

Ziyun smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want him to do?"

Long Chen got up and left, walking in the dark forest, and saw Meng Yidao taking a walk.

"Aren't you resting so late?"

"Meet King Wu."

"Don't be too polite. How is your arm recovering?"

Meng Yidao's right arm was torn off and his left wrist was missing. Long Chen found a suitable hand from the ghost clan and replaced Meng Yidao's hand.

"I'm recovering well, but I feel like it's not my own and a bit awkward."

Meng Yidao shook his head, sighed, and continued: "I can still reattach my hand after it is broken, but it's a pity that some of my colleagues no longer have it."

Long Chen thought of Yu Wenkai, Gan Zhen, and Gan Xin again, and sighed: "In a war, there will always be casualties. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's rest."

After talking too much and being sad, Long Chen returned to the tent and wrote a letter, which he sent to the capital overnight.

...

Capital.

A waning moon hung in the sky, and the sound of chirping crickets reached the attic. Yu Shinan lay on the pile of books and read while the boy next to him carefully fanned himself.

"Master, please rest early, it's almost time."

The boy was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyelids. He wanted to sleep, but Yu Shinan was still rummaging around.

"You go to sleep first, you don't need to wait here."

The boy thought that Yu Shinan was angry, so he quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy..."

Yu Shinan took the fan and said, "Go to sleep, no need."

The boy then bowed, dragged his tired steps out of the attic, and went back to his room to sleep in a daze.

In the attic, Yu Shinan continued to rummage.

Under the candlelight, Yu Shinan pulled out a strange novel, which recorded some funny folklore stories.

Yu Shinan threw the book aside. Such nonsense was not what he was looking for...

At dawn the next day, the boy pushed open the attic door. The candles had burned out and a ball of wax solidified on the floor.

"Master, Master..."

Yu Shinan opened his eyes in a daze.

"Master, Taoist Priest Xuanzhen from Qingyun Temple is here."

Yu Shinan stood up and saw Taoist Master Xuanzhen coming with the little Taoist boy, followed by Zou Kai.

Seeing Zou Kai, Yu Shinan frowned slightly. This kid was very naughty and he didn't like it.

"Sorry, I watched it too late last night."

Yu Shinan smiled and saluted.

Taoist Master Xuanzhen said with a smile: "Master Yu has been forgetting to sleep and eat. I found a Taoist book last night, which may be useful."

Yu Shinan was overjoyed and said, "Please sit down."

He also ordered the boy to make tea and bring breakfast.

It was so early, Taoist Master Xuanzhen probably hadn't had breakfast either.

The strange thing is, why are Xiao Daotong and Zou Kai here?

The two sat down, Xuanzhen handed the Taoist book to Yu Shinan, and the two began to talk.

In fact, children go to bed early, so they wake up early.

The little Taoist boy and Zou Kai slept together in the Taoist temple last night. When they woke up early in the morning, Xuanzhen was about to come, so they followed him.

"Xie Yiji?"

Zou Kai was bored when he saw that the attic was full of books, so he picked up a book with the words "Jie Yi Ji" written on the cover.

"What is Xie Yiji?"

The little Taoist boy was illiterate and did not understand the meaning.

Zou Kai said: "Just telling jokes."

When the little Taoist boy heard that it was a joke book, he thought it was interesting: "Read it to me. What's the joke?"

Zou Kai flipped through the pages and read a few jokes:

The owner of a village asked a Taoist priest to practice the method, but the Taoist priest reversed the Taoist scriptures and spoke nonsense.The owner of the village was angry and scolded him: "The bird Taoist is blind when he recites sutras." The Taoist replied: "The owner of the village asked me to do this, so he is really blind."

The little Taoist boy was illiterate, but not stupid. He said angrily: "You are talking about me."

Zou Kai said with a smile: "I mean you, can you hit me?"

After being taught by Long Chen, Zou Kai was very skilled in martial arts and could not be defeated by a small Taoist boy.

"Humph, I won't listen anymore."

Seeing that the little Taoist boy was angry, Zou Kai quickly stopped him and said with a smile, "I'll look for him again."

On the side, Yu Shinan had finished reading the book brought by Taoist Master Xuanzhen, and shook his head regretfully: "It's useless. I've already read this. It's fake."

Taoist Master Xuanzhen sighed: "Hey, I've almost read through all the Taoist books."

The little bookboy brought tea, and the servant brought snacks.

Taoist priest Xuanzhen glanced at the little Taoist boy and Zou Kai, and Yu Shinan invited the two children to eat together.

Zou Kai was reading a joke randomly:

A southern barbarian fell ill and sought help from a quack doctor. The quack doctor said: The poison in your body needs the ice of the north to cure it.Nanmanzi said: If I die in a moment, how can I get the ice in the far north?The quack doctor said: But ghost blood can be used to detoxify.Nanmanzi said: Have you ever seen a ghost?The quack doctor said: After you die, you become a ghost. When you die, the poison will be cured.

The little Taoist laughed loudly after hearing this: "He is a quack doctor, but he is also very eloquent."
