From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen originally planned to form a caravan on his own, cross the desert, and arrive at the Uz Kingdom.

After thinking about it, I realized that it would be difficult to conceal my whereabouts.

So, he pretended to be a native of the Western Regions and took his wife back to the country of Uz.

The man from the Western Regions that Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng met was Long Chen.

Zalisa and Belloya pretended to be Long Chen's wives and maids, while Ba and Man pretended to be slaves.

As for Mo Lin, he was afraid of being recognized by the people in Jujintang, so he pretended to be a cold escort.

Leng Biao is a mysterious bodyguard in the world. He usually only accepts some unpopular business.

Few people have seen him because he travels alone.

After the war with the ghost clan, Leng Biao got ghost meat and turned into a half-ghost. Later, he refused to detoxify, so Xichang killed him.

Mo Lin successfully took over the identity of Leng Biao.

After leaving the capital, Long Chen deliberately met the caravan from Sitong Store in Jinsha City and followed them.

After pretending to be attacked by horse thieves, the others retreated to Jinsha City. Long Chen and his party of five successfully integrated into the caravan at Sitong Store.

Everything is going smooth.

Long Chen followed the two caravans and spent almost two months finally crossing the desert and arriving at the easternmost town in the Uz Kingdom: Sal Town.

This is the easternmost military town in the Us state, and it is also a commercial town heading to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is very lively and prosperous.

Of course, this prosperity is only in the Western Region.

The population of Sal Town is only [-]. When placed in Dazhou, it is just a slightly larger place.

"We have arrived."

The old bird head happily picked up the wine gourd and drank it, laughing happily.

This business road through the desert is a dead end. It has narrowly escaped death. Arriving at the town of Sal is just a catastrophe.

"finally reached."

Li Dajiao looked at the town and felt relieved.

"Go into the city."

Hu Shuisheng said happily.

Long Chen was still dressed as a man from the Western Regions. It was his first time to go to the Western Regions. The earthy gray exterior walls of Sal Town and the Western dress of the residents all made him feel an exotic atmosphere.

The Western Region is the Western Region, not my race.

No matter how different Zhao Kingdom was, the people looked very similar, but it was different here.

Zalisa and Belloya were so excited that they burst into tears when they saw the Western Region again.

This is not the Crescent Kingdom, but we are finally back in the Western Region.

"We're back."

Belloya was also very excited and hugged Zalisa's arm tightly.

Ba Heman still looked like a slave, expressionless.

Long Chen asked the Flower God to cast a poison. Ba Heman is now very obedient, and his mind is controlled by Long Chen.

"Korasu, what should you do?"

Hu Shuisheng turned around and asked Long Chen.

When he arrived in the Western Region, he wanted to see if Long Chen belonged to the Su Lun family.

Long Chen said excitedly: "Thank you for sending me back. Our family also has a place in Sal Town. I will treat you to dinner."

Just as he was talking, several people from the Western Regions ran over excitedly.

"Master, you are finally back."

Several people from the Western Region cheered around Long Chen. Long Chen smiled and said, "I'm back. These two are my benefactors. They saved my life."

"I want to invite them to my house to entertain them. Is father in the city?"

The man from the Western Region said: "The master is not in the city. He has returned to the capital, but the second young master is in the city."

Long Chen said enthusiastically: "You two, please come with me to my home."

Hu Shuisheng looked at Li Dajiao. Li Dajiao still had goods, and his destination was not Sal Town.

"I read..."

"Master, the second master is waiting for you to return. We have something urgent to discuss."

Li Dajiao took advantage of the situation and said, "Since it's inconvenient for Brother Colasu, let's bother you another day."

Hu Shuisheng felt it was a pity. If he had a relationship with the Su Lun family, it would be much easier to do business in the future.

"If that's the case, then forget it."

Hu Shuisheng said with some regret.

The old bird head glanced at Long Chen suspiciously, feeling that there might be some fraud involved.

"Since I won't be a guest at home, I'll give you these as a thank you gift, so I'll definitely accept it."

A large bag of gold coins was stuffed into Hu Shuisheng's arms, and Hu Shuisheng smiled happily: "That's so polite. When I come back, I will definitely be a guest at Xiongtai's home."

The old bird head immediately changed his judgment.

To make such a lavish move, he must be from a wealthy family, maybe he is really the young master of the Su Lun family.

"There will be a period later."

Hu Shuisheng smiled and cupped his hands, leading the caravan into the city.

Long Chen followed a few people from the Western Regions into Saar City.

Walking through the busy streets, various shops were open, various fur blankets were being sold, and there were shops specializing in Dazhou porcelain. Some of the shopkeepers were from the Central Plains.

Entering a courtyard, a Central Plains man came forward and said, "I have met you, sir."

A few people from the Western Regions were still there, and their subordinates gave them money, and they dispersed.

"You are Guo Shan."

"Yes, little Guo Shan, Mr. Feng ordered me to wait for you here."

Feng He had made preparations in advance not only by sending a caravan to inquire about the news, but also by arranging a foothold in advance.

If you want to do big things in the Western Regions, you can't go there unprepared.

"Go in and talk."

It was freezing outside, and everyone entered the house. The furnishings inside were all in the style of the Western Regions.

Zalissa looked at the familiar things from her homeland and tears fell again.

"Princess, don't cry, it's a happy thing."

Belloya rubbed his eyes.

"Finally home."

Zalisa murmured again.

Long Chen ignored the two of them and discussed the affairs of the Uz Kingdom with Guo Shan.

“There’s something new about these times.”

Guo Shan poured a cup of milk tea, and Long Chen took a sip and found it tasted very good.

"Solo, the seventh son of King Geers of Uz, rebelled on the northwest border. He is competing for the throne with his legitimate son Sokulu."

"King Geers was very angry and ordered Sokuru to lead troops to quell the rebellion. The two sides were fighting on the front line."

"Originally, there were heavy troops gathering in Saar City. They were planning to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty when spring began."

Guo Shan talked about the current situation of Us country.

Long Chen asked: "The king is not dead yet, why did Solo raise a flag to rebel?"

It stands to reason that the fight for the throne must wait until the king is dead before fighting for it.

While Gers was still there, the two sons started fighting. It was so strange.

"I don't know. Anyway, there was a fight. Zoro didn't have many troops, but I heard that the fight was very severe."

Long Chen thought for a while and asked, "Is there any news about Shen Wanjin?"

Guo Shan shook his head and said: "After Shen Wanjin entered the Us country, everyone disappeared, and there is no news at all."

Long Chen said: "This is his territory, and we have just arrived, so it will definitely be difficult to find."

To put it bluntly, it wasn't that Shen Wanjin was so powerful that he hid his whereabouts.

But Long Chen didn't have any informants in the Us country, and there were too few people under his command, so he couldn't find him.

"Yes, our talents have just been spread out. The people from our West Factory alone are not enough. We must develop local people."

"But the local people don't understand the language, and it takes a long time to establish an intelligence network."

Guo Shan pointed out the practical difficulties.

"Well, there's no rush. We'll stay here for a few days and wait for the news."

Haste makes waste, and to do great things you must remain calm.
