From eunuch to emperor

Eastern Zhou.

A small courtyard outside the capital city.

At this time, it is late summer and early autumn, and it is still relatively cool in the morning and evening.

Long Chen lay on the couch, watching the outside gradually covered with golden leaves, holding Qingmeng in his hand.

When in Rouge Lane, Long Chen combed Qingmeng, redeemed himself and placed him in the city.

Later, Long Chen bought a small house outside the city, and bought a few servants.

Qing Meng settled down just outside the city, living the life of a little rich woman.

"Brother Chen, can you spend more time with me?"

"It's been a long time since you came here."

Qing Meng was wearing a lavender apron, snuggling into Long Chen's arms.

Qingmeng's figure is a little thinner, like Xiaojiabiyu's, with delicate skin.

The hair is slightly chestnut, and the eyebrows are light.

Other than that, the whole body is very clean, it is a white tiger.

Long Chen likes this kind of figure very much, he can speak freely.

"I'll come and accompany you when I have time."

Long Chen hugged Qing Meng, with one hand on top and the other on the bottom.

Qing Meng leaned against Long Chen's chest, her eyes slightly closed, and a look of intoxication gradually appeared on her face.

There are too many things these few days, and Long Chen doesn't have much time.

After dealing with the Tianxiahui, Long Chen is preparing to form a new army.

The size of the new army is planned to be about [-], with [-] Musketeers and [-] Artillery.

Due to the constraints of the times, Long Chen exhausted all methods to purify the gunpowder, and even granulated the gunpowder.

But the power is always limited, and the desired effect cannot be achieved.

The power of a flintlock may be about the same as that of a magic arm bow.

Of course, the effect of armor piercing may be better.

Therefore, Long Chen focused on the manufacture of artillery.

The impact force of the iron ball fired by the artillery is definitely better than that of the bed crossbow.

Especially when attacking a city, artillery should be an artifact.

These are plans and have not yet been implemented.

Long Chen is waiting for news from Xixia and Nanliang, as well as the next move of the Tianxiahui.

Long Chen felt very lucky that he would attack the world this time.

There are many masters in Tianxiahui, more than Long Chen expected.

But Ji Ba is so arrogant that he is almost defenseless.

As long as Ji Ba pays attention, Long Chen's actions will fail.

Long Chen often thought that he should be blessed by the protagonist's halo.

"Um..."

Qing Meng snorted tenderly, and suddenly hugged Long Chen forcefully, buried her head in her arms, her body trembling slightly.

Long Chen didn't think about anything else, hugged Qingmeng and started to work.

...

Half an hour later, Qing Meng was lying on the pillow, her apron only half covered her, her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were reddish, making her look even more charming.

Long Chen kissed and said: "I'll go back first, come back next time."

Qing Meng responded softly: "Come quickly..."

After getting dressed, I left the room. There were two old women and two young women working outside.

"master."

"Do things well and take good care of your wife."

Long Chen gave each of them a gold coin.

The four of them took it and hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you for the reward, master."

These four people were bought by Long Chen, they were slaves.

But Long Chen treated them very well, and they knew it very well.

In other families, scolding and beating are commonplace, so there is no way to feel comfortable here.

Long Chen opened the door, and slowly walked back to the capital.

From the house, not far to the east is the spring lake.

Walking by the lake, Long Chen heard a commotion.

Passers-by by the lake pointed to a big boat by the lake and chatted:

"I heard that scholars in the capital gathered together to write poems again."

"It seems to be true. Master Hongrui from Zhenfo Temple is also here."

"Master Hongrui has a brilliant literary talent, and he has published several poems recently, all of which are excellent works."

"He has already been hailed as a poet monk."

"I don't know whose poetry is better than Master Hongrui and King Wu?"

"It's hard to say. King Wu has been busy regenerating dead wood recently, so he has no time to write poems."

"I've also heard that the two princesses are asking for medicine everywhere, so that King Wu can grow it again."

"You said, is it possible for King Wu to marry two princesses? I mean at the same time."

"Impossible. Since ancient times, there have been no two princesses married to a son-in-law."

"You guys think too much, the princess of Da Zhou never gets married."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Long Chen glanced at the boat again, and could vaguely see Hongrui.

Long Chen smiled, and slowly walked back to the capital.

The city is still lively, and vendors are still doing business.

It's just that there are fewer carriages coming and going in the world.

Sifanglou's business recovered very slowly, Shen Wanjin didn't know how to do business, and it was said that it was a bit chaotic.

The Dragon Gang took the opportunity to grab a lot of business.

Long Chen sent Xu Ming to Sifang Building to urge him once, and told Shen Wanjin that if the business of Sifang Building fails, the Ministry of Industry will supply the Dragon Gang.

The Ministry of Industry has so many products every day, it can't be suppressed and not sold, and only wait for Shen Wanjin's business to start shipping.

Shen Wanjin was very anxious and gathered all the available manpower.

He also specially went to Long Shuai's mansion to find Long Chen, hoping that the Ministry of Industry would make it easier for him.

Long Chen said haha, and said that he would talk to Xu Ming, and also asked Shen Wanjin to build Sifanglou as soon as possible.

Back at Longshuai's mansion, I saw the three still chasing and fighting.

Xuanhui was holding a paper kite in his hand, Huaer and Xiaohu were chasing after him, giggling.

After Zou Cailiang returned to Anmu City, Long Chen asked him to send Xiaohu to Long Shuai's mansion.

Here, you can meet more people and practice martial arts since childhood.

"Sister Hua'er, play with me."

Xiaohu chased after him, Huaer stopped and gave the paper kite to Xiaohu to play with.

Long Chen didn't disturb their play, walked into the backyard and into the study.

Feng He came in through the window and sat next to Long Chen.

"How about Xixia?"

Long Chen poured a cup of tea and drank it himself.

Feng He said: "Xixia has taken action, the Foyuan Building has been flattened, and the halls in other places have also been occupied by the army."

"The power of Xixia will be completely wiped out in the world."

"Kongji originally planned to cooperate with the Tianxiahui, but Shi Haoran insisted on destroying the Tianxiahui."

"In addition, Shi Le is poor and crazy, and urgently needs money to replenish the treasury, so Kong Ji's suggestion was not adopted."

Long Chen said: "Kong Ji is a monk after all, he doesn't value money that much."

"Even if there is no money in the temple, believers will offer offerings, at least they will have something to eat."

"Shi Le is different. He is the king of a country, he has no money, and even the ministers are disobedient."

"So, just start with Shi Le."

"The influence of the Tianxiahui will be lost three times, and it will no longer be a big deal."

"At Nanliang, it will take some time for Ji Ba to heal his wounds, and Li Chengdao may clean up the Tianxiahui."

"But the final result should be for your own use."

"Li Chengdao is not Shi Le, he is not short of money, he can also be the master."

Li Chengdao is a man who will take revenge if he has a grudge, the world will plot against him several times, and revenge is certain.

But Li Chengdao is not stupid, he knows that the biggest enemy now is Long Chen.

The world will be half dead, and it can just be controlled and used by him.

Therefore, the final result is that the two sides colluded together.

Feng He asked: "Even if there is Li Chengdao's support in the world, it will not be a climate."

"The biggest hurdle has been cleared, what about our next plan? What should I do?"
