From eunuch to emperor

Li Chengtong asked Long Chen if he would continue to use Qianjiang County's handle to threaten him.

Long Chen said: "There are only four sons in the upper position, and the only ones who are qualified to inherit the throne are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Li Yuanying."

"If Li Yuanying dies, His Highness the Crown Prince is the only suitable candidate. His Highness the Crown Prince knows what the other two princes are like, and so does the superior."

"The second prince, Li Jiye, can do some small business, at most he can be a shopkeeper; the fourth prince, Li Wenji, can recite poems and be a lowly literati."

"To the north is the powerful enemy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Xixia is also eyeing it. The superior must choose a virtuous prince."

"At that time, even if I bring this matter to the superior, the superior will at best punish His Highness the Crown Prince multiple times. It is absolutely impossible to depose him, and my handle will be invalidated."

"So, the key to everything lies in Li Yuanying. If he lives, I may die in Jade Buddha Pass, and His Royal Highness may also be deposed and killed."

"And if we kill Li Yuanying together, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be the emperor, and I can be the minister of power, and we will each get what we need, wouldn't it be wonderful!"

"That's all I have to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decides for himself."

After Long Chen finished speaking, Li Chengtong thought for a long time, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

In Long Chen's battle at Jade Buddha Pass, even if Li Chengtong withdrew, as long as Li Yuanying stepped in and besieged with Jing Tianlie, Long Chen would surely die.

It was not Long Chen who threatened Li Chengtong's crown prince position, but Li Yuanying. Killing Long Chen would be icing on the cake, Li Yuanying's threat was still there.

Another point, even if Long Chen is killed, it's hard to say who deserves the credit.

In case Li Yuanying takes the lead and the credit falls to Li Yuanying, the problem will be serious.

"Okay, the Crown Prince agrees to cooperate with you, but you must tell the Crown Prince all your plans."

Long Chen was secretly happy, Li Chengtong was persuaded, and the plan was halfway.

"I will lure Li Yuanying here tomorrow night, and His Highness the Crown Prince will join hands with me to kill him!"

Li Chengtong asked: "How did you lure Li Yuanying here?"

Long Chen chuckled and said, "This is a secret."

Li Chengtong said coldly: "No, you have to tell me, otherwise the crown prince won't trust you."

Long Chen laughed and said: "His Royal Highness, I have nothing to say about this matter, I guarantee that Li Yuanying will definitely come, that's all."

Long Chen is sure that he can lure Li Yuanying here, but he cannot tell Li Chengtong the reason.

"How dare you play tricks on the prince!"

Li Chengtong was furious, his figure flashed, and the spear in his hand suddenly stabbed Long Chen.

Long Chen had been guarding against Li Chengtong's sneak attack for a long time, with a flick of the iron spear, he swung the spear away, retreated sharply, and Li Chengtong took advantage of the situation to attack.

Li Chengtong is 36 years old this year, he has broken through the realm of Martial Emperor for 8 years, his cultivation level is higher than that of Long Chen, and the big spear in his hand is even more ferocious, Long Chen retreated after being killed.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Long Chen was stretched left and right. Although he could block Li Chengtong, he was very passive, and he might be seriously injured if he was not careful.

The big spear stabbed at the head, Long Chen swung his spear away, dodged to the side, and at the same time counterattacked and pierced Li Chengtong's rib.

Li Chengtong withdrew his spear, swung his spear, and kicked forward at the same time.

Long Chen hurriedly withdrew his spear to block in front of him, Li Chengtong kicked on the spear.

boom!

Long Chen was kicked into the air and slammed into a giant tree. The huge canopy was shaken violently, and the birds perched on the tree were startled and fled in all directions in fright.

"His Royal Highness, if I die here tonight, your letter of exposing the enemy will be sent to the superior!"

puff...

Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, and pointed his spear firmly at Li Chengtong.

Li Chengtong didn't continue to chase, but walked up to Long Chen slowly, sneered and said: "It's not enough to rely on Yangjingshi to break through the Martial Emperor's realm, in name there is a Martial Emperor's realm cultivation, but in fact it's just a little stronger than the peak of the king. "

Just now, Li Chengtong wanted to test Long Chen's cultivation, but he didn't really want to kill Long Chen.

Seeing that Li Chengtong didn't do anything anymore, Long Chen lowered the spear in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, why bother to be sarcastic, if I have enough cultivation, why should I join hands with you."

"I even said that I can kill His Highness the Crown Prince right now, and then ask Li Yuanying out and kill him again."

Li Chengtong asked coldly: "I'll ask you again, why do you think Li Yuanying will definitely come out?"

Long Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "No comment, if His Royal Highness wants to kill him, he will kill him, I don't think I am an opponent."

Li Chengtong pointed at Long Chen, and after a while he sneered and said: "Okay, tomorrow night, I'll be here! If you dare to play tricks, this crown prince will definitely take your head!"

Long Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Don't dare! My wealth and life depend entirely on His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengtong took the big gun away, turned around and took a few steps, then turned around and said: "Tomorrow night, you are not allowed to mention the matter of Qianjiang County, and you will fight when you meet, no nonsense!"

This guy was worried that Long Chen would reveal his collaborating scandal in front of Li Yuanying, so he ordered him like this.

Long Chen bowed: "I would like to follow His Highness the order of the Crown Prince!"

Then Li Chengtong left and disappeared into the black forest.

After confirming that Li Chengtong was gone, Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, shook his head and smiled, "Fortunately, my acting skills are online."

A gust of mountain wind blows, and a few drops of cold rain fall from the sky.

Putting away the spear, Long Chen quickly walked through the ancient forest and returned to the inn in Xifeng Town.

After entering the room, Bai Tingting was waiting for Long Chen to come back.

"Are you injured? I told you that I'll go with you, and you're vomiting blood."

Bai Tingting saw blood spots on Long Chen's clothes, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a joke."

As he said, he picked up water to wipe the corners of his mouth clean, and rinsed his mouth again.

"What kind of play, I vomited blood."

"If sister Qian knows, she must scold me!"

Bai Tingting helped Long Chen wipe away the blood in distress.

"It's really a joke. I'm fine. Go to bed. I'm going to have a big fight tomorrow."

In that battle just now, Li Chengtong was testing Long Chen's cultivation.

At the same time, Long Chen was also testing Li Chengtong's cultivation.

Long Chen was very sure that he was able to kill Li Chengtong alone, but it was a bit laborious, and he even had to pay a relatively high price.

The reason for Long Chen to release the water on purpose is very simple. Li Chengtong wanted to know if he could fully control the initiative and hold Long Chen's life.

Long Chen deliberately showed weakness, giving Li Chengtong the illusion that everything was under control.

This is called: If you want to take it, you must first give it!

Bai Tingting took out the healing elixir and said, "Take the medicine first, don't leave any internal injuries."

Long Chen couldn't resist, so he had to take a medicine for healing.

After changing clothes, Long Chen went outside the courtyard, Feng He fell from the roof.

"It seems that the adults have succeeded."

Feng He said in admiration.

"Is there any problem with the people in Jade Buddha Pass?"

It is also a headache to deal with Li Chengtong and Jing Tianlie's 36 army in the future.

Feng He said: "No problem, we have been in touch all the time."

"Your Excellency is really amazing. You can actually persuade Li Chengtong. You really have a good tongue."

Long Chen said: "Stop talking nonsense, you go to find Li Yuanying now, tomorrow at the same place, I want to meet him."

Feng He felt chills down his spine, and said, "My lord, Li Yuanying is an old fox. If I go to him, I will die."

Feng He is not afraid of Li Chengtong, but he is afraid of Li Yuanying.

Because Li Yuanying is in charge of the Imperial City Department, he is more shrewd and cunning, and it is difficult to deal with.

Long Chen said: "I won't let you die, you say that when the time comes..."
