From eunuch to emperor

The man heard the sound of wind behind him and knew something serious was coming.

How come there are masters in the capital?

The man was surprised when Xuan Yi had already caught up with the man and stabbed him with a sharp sword. The man pulled out a strange short halberd to resist.

In just one move, Xuan Yi knocked away the short halberd and kicked the man away.

boom!

The man crashed into a small pond outside the city, and Xuan Yi stood on the edge waiting.

After a while, the man crawled out, his clothes were soaked and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Forgive me..."

The man knew he couldn't beat him, so he stood in the pond and begged for mercy.

Xuan Yi shouted: "Come up!"

The man came up honestly...

Several horses rushed over, and Wu Hou, who patrolled the city, finally caught up.

"Tie him up!"

Xuanyi gave the order, and Prince Wu of the city patrol did not know Xuanyi, but he could feel that Xuanyi was very powerful from his aura.

"May I ask, sir..."

Suddenly, the man started to run away. Xuan Yi was furious. He caught up with him and kicked the man away again.

This time, the man hit the ground and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, unable to get up again.

"Cut off the hands and feet and take them back for interrogation."

Xuan Yi gave the order and patrolled the city. Marquis Wu hesitated and said, "If you cut off your hands and feet, doesn't it mean that you are dead?"

Xuan Yi said coldly: "He can't die, he is half ghost."

After fighting with the ghost clan for so long, Wu Hou, who patrolled the city, knew what half-ghost meant.

"That's it, I obey."

Wu Hou, who was patrolling the city, drew his sword and chopped off the man's hands and feet. The man twitched several times and passed out.

"Bring back."

When they tied the person up, Xuan Yi had already left.

"Boss, who was that woman just now? So powerful?"

"I don't know, he must be a master somewhere."

Xuan Yi returned to the street and Qing Yue asked what happened.

Xuan Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's probably a martial artist who became bloodthirsty after becoming a half-ghost."

Qingyue frowned and said, "Didn't I order all the mountain sects to keep an eye on their disciples and not allow them to go down the mountain to cause trouble?"

Xuan Yi said: "There are always fish that slip through the net, and there are many people who are loners and have no affiliation. Without anyone to restrain them, they will do whatever they want."

Qingyue said: "That's why Xiao Longlong said that we must find a way to detoxify, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

With that said, the two of them had returned to the palace.

Carrying two bags, the two entered Fengming Palace.

Di Yuwei and Di Xing received the news early in the morning.

"Meet the eldest princess and the second princess."

"You have worked hard, why did you come back first? Doesn't the Queen Mother have to guard Yuncheng?"

The empress wants to stabilize people's hearts in Yuncheng, and they know this.

There are also Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi who want to guard Yanmen Pass and stabilize the elite troops at Yanmen Pass.

"The Holy One ordered us to bring back the ghost clan's jewels, exchange them for silver, and send the troops away, and give rewards to the soldiers."

Qingyue opened the two bags and found various treasures inside.

"so much?"

Di Yuwei picked up a fish bead and asked in shock.

As the eldest princess of Dazhou, Di Yuwei is knowledgeable, and ordinary jewelry is not in her eyes.

But the jewelry in front of her made her feel that the previous things were like rubble.

Di Xingwan doesn't like jewelry, she prefers ancient books.

However, the jewelry in front of her really shocked her.

"Is this from the ghost tribe?"

Emperor Xingwan picked up a green fish bead in astonishment. The faint light was very attractive.

Xuan Yi said: "These are all the leftovers, and the good ones have been picked up by them."

In fact, Qingyue and Xuan Yi hid a lot of good things.

"The Holy One said that there is not enough money and food, so he asked us to send it to the Ministry of Revenue to sell it off."

Di Yu turned his head slightly and said to He Ningxin: "Register and make a list, and then send it to the Ministry of Household Affairs to be sold. Do not keep it privately! Anyone who dares to have evil thoughts will be killed without mercy!"

He Ningxin immediately brought the booklet and registered one by one.

"Go and rest."

Qingyue and Xuanyi retreated.

...

Outside Heling County.

Six horses galloped past. The farmer on the roadside looked at the passing figure, stopped for a while, then lowered his head and continued working.

After a long journey, Long Chen finally arrived in Heling County.

When changing horses at the last station, Long Chen heard that Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan were in Heling County.

Therefore, Long Chen went straight to Heling County.

When the six horses arrived at the north gate of Heling County, the soldiers on the city shouted: "During special periods, the city gate is closed. You are not allowed to go south!"

Li Heiniu was on horseback, raising his whip and shouting: "King Wu is here, open the door!"

The soldiers on the city thought they heard wrongly and asked, "What?"

Li Heiniu scolded: "King Wu, King Wu of Great Zhou is here! Open the city gate quickly!"

Long Chen waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's go directly to the city."

Heling County is located on the border of Nanliang, and ordinary soldiers don't know Long Chen at all.

"Go, go up!"

Long Chen flew up from his horse, and Li Heiniu and the other five followed him, flying directly over the soldiers' heads.

"Someone broke in!"

The soldier was startled and hurriedly picked up his bow and arrow to shoot.

Li Heiniu used his backhand to sweep away all the arrows with a burst of zhenqi. The soldiers screamed in fright.

"Master, master sneak attack!"

The soldiers on the city were in chaos.

Li Xiannan and Gongsun Ming were waiting for Long Chen to arrive in the city. When they heard the noise, they came out in a hurry.

They thought the Nanmanzi were attacking by surprise.

As soon as he came out, he saw Long Chen striding over.

"Meet King Wu!"

The two of them were overjoyed, Long Chen finally arrived.

County magistrate Huang Yin heard the commotion and came out. When he saw Long Chen, he was so scared that he peed his pants.

"Huang Yin, the magistrate of Heling County, pays homage to King Wu."

Long Chen walked straight into the lobby and said, "Tell me about the situation."

Long Chen sat down, and the other five people stood beside him.

Li Xiannan glanced at them and could feel the murderous aura on the five people. These five people had very high cultivation levels.

"Zhenna City is gone, and so are the surrounding villages and towns. It was my dereliction of duty."

Gongsun Ming first admitted his mistake. As a guard in Jinling, he failed to defend the city.

"Can you know the situation at that time?"

Long Chen wanted to know how the poison was introduced and how it broke out.

Gongsun Ming shook his head: "I don't know. When I received the news, it was already gone."

Long Chen turned to look at County Magistrate Huang Yin: "What about you? Your place is close to Zhennan City, so you don't know?"

The county magistrate Huang Yin was very embarrassed and replied: "In response to King Wu, when the official got the news, Zhenna City was gone."

Long Chen frowned and said: "Zhennan City has nearly 20 people. It's impossible for them all to die. There must be some who survive."

It is true that the poison is very contagious, but no matter how strong the poison is, 20 people will always survive.

"Yes, when Zhennan City first broke out, some people escaped, and those who stayed in the city were gone."

said a man standing behind the magistrate.

Long Chen looked behind Huang Yin. The man took a step forward and bowed: "Three pounds of oxen in Heling County, Xiaguan County."

This cow Sanjin was named Sanjin because it was very small when it was born and only weighed three pounds.

"Lieutenant Niu County, please bring the escaped people. I want to question them."

Niu Sanjin bowed and immediately went down to look for someone.

Soon, three people were brought up.

Two women and one man, both young people.

In times of disaster, the old and the weak are most at risk because they cannot run away.

Young people have a better chance of survival.

"This is King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a high official second only to the emperor. Please tell us about the situation in Zhenna City at that time."

County Lieutenant Niu Sanjin was very scheming. He knew that the court would definitely investigate thoroughly, so he secretly controlled a few people for questioning.

County magistrate Huang Yin cursed in his heart: Hiding people behind my back, do you want to step on me?

Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan were also dissatisfied. The county magistrate Niu Sanjin was not only hid from the county magistrate Huang Yin, but also from the two of them.

Long Chen ignored Niu Sanjin's petty thoughts and asked: "Don't be afraid, tell me about the situation at that time."
