From eunuch to emperor

The old groom opened his mouth without front teeth, and said with a smile: "This is a guy in our shop. Mr. Jun hasn't come to drink in the shop for some time."

With that said, the old groom stuffed some broken silver into the hands of the soldier.

The soldier collected the money, suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, guys in your store, it's a war now, be careful, don't let Long Chengen's spies sneak into the city."

The old groom laughed and said, "With you guarding, how is it possible."

The defender waved his hand and let the carriage enter Yangcheng.

The dilapidated carriage made a creaking sound, the wheels ran over the earthy street, the doors of the residents on both sides were closed, soldiers were everywhere on the street, and the atmosphere of war was everywhere.

The carriage pulled all the way to a liquor store, and an old horse swayed wildly against the wind. The old groom got down and led the horse into the backyard slowly.

The lean and wretched man in the car jumped out of the car and immediately entered a room in the backyard.

In the room, an old man in his 60s was holding a dry pipe with his pine-like hands, and a gold silk pipe was hung on the pipe.

Wrinkled lips with a thin short white beard, the lips sucked slightly, the fire of the pipe became brighter, and as the light dimmed again, the old man exhaled a puff of white smoke from his nose.

Through the smoke, a pair of dark eyes watched the thin man walk in.

"Master Gan."

The lean man was Shi Han who delivered the letter for Shen Wanjin.

And this old man is Gan Xin, the daughter of Western Xia.

"The landlord's order."

Shi Han respectfully presented the bamboo tube, the sealing mud on it was intact.

Gan Xin took the bamboo tube, Shi Han immediately retreated to the wall and looked down.

Gan Xin put the bamboo tube on the table and slowly smoked the last few puffs of dry tobacco.

Lifting his foot, the pipe tapped on the sole of the shoe, and the ash fell out of the pipe and fell to the ground.

Hanging the tobacco pole on his waist, Gan Xin picked up the bamboo tube and opened it, carefully reading the letter on it.

After reading the secret letter, Gan Xin picked up the tobacco stick at his waist, crumpled the secret letter into a ball, slowly stuffed it into a pure gold pipe, and stuffed some shredded tobacco from the gold pipe.

Taking out the torch and lighting it on the shredded tobacco, Gan Xin smoked slowly.

When a faint puff of smoke came out of his mouth, Gan Xin put away the fire note.

"understood."

Gan Xin's voice is very gentle, just like the old man next door talking to the neighbor's children.

Only then did Shi Han raise his head and say in obeisance: "Young one, I will take my leave."

Gan Xin continued to smoke the pipe, Shi Han exited the room.

...

Zhenguo Temple.

The five of Zhang Qian lived in a newly built room. Sheets, quilts and a set of toiletries were all sent from Jade Buddha Pass.

There is Xifeng City near Jade Buddha Pass, where you can buy everything.

Han Ziping and the others arranged for soldiers to go to Xifeng City to purchase, and the items were quickly completed.

Zhang Qian, Wu Chuchu, and Dugu Jiali set up defenses on the mountain, preparing to fight Xixia.

Shi Le's army has assembled in Yangcheng, and everyone knows that a big battle will come at any time.

Bai Tingting and Wu Xiangyun continued to practice in the room, hoping to break through the cultivation of Emperor Wu.

in the room.

Bai Tingting was lying on the camel's hair mattress, and Wu Xiangyun brought a glass bottle from the side, which contained white ointment.

"Husband, I brought medicine over."

Wu Xiangyun handed the glass bottle to Long Chen.

This medicine was prepared by Su Yourong, and the prescription was written by Long Chen.

Boil the medicine into a paste, then add sesame oil to make it into a liquid.

"Husband, wait a moment and use less force. It hurt me for several days last time."

Bai Tingting was wearing white pajamas, with a blue silk pillow underneath, holding the pillow with both hands.

Bai Tingting's cultivation speed is still too slow, Long Chen must continue to give her energy.

Long Chen said with a smile: "The circulation of Qi needs to move the meridians, if true qi travels through the meridians, it will definitely hurt."

"It's not something else inside, it's just a comfortable feeling that doesn't hurt."

Bai Tingting lay on the pillow with her head tilted, and when she heard Long Chen say this, she scolded coquettishly: "Damn eunuch, what are you talking about! Who said there is only comfort, and you are not me, how do you know if I am in pain!"

Wu Xiangyun chuckled and said, "That's right, you're not Tingting! How do you know if it hurts or not?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "It's not easy, just look at the expression."

"I see Tingting's expression is pretty good every time, so there's nothing uncomfortable about it."

Bai Tingting's leg suddenly lifted up, kicked Long Chen, and said softly: "I'll ignore you again."

Long Chen uncorked the bottle, sat on his body, and said with a smile: "Then do you want to practice breakthrough? If I don't give you energy, how can you open up the meridians."

The pajamas were taken off, Long Chen slowly applied the ointment on his fair back, slowly and evenly.

Then follow the direction of Ren Du's second pulse, and slowly press down from the head.

Long Chen tried his best to control his strength, but in order to open up the meridians, he still had to use force in some places.

Bai Tingting tightly grasped the pillow with both hands, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her body.

"Husband...be gentle..."

Bai Tingting gritted her teeth and insisted, Wu Xiangyun saw that Bai Tingting was really in pain, and said softly beside her: "Husband, Tingting really seems to be in pain."

Long Chen said: "I know, this is the only way to improve your cultivation."

To cheer up Bai Tingting, Long Chen himself was also consumed a lot.

It must be condensed to the fingertips, through the skin, without hurting Tingting's meridians, it must be controlled properly.

Half an hour later, when the breathing was over, Wu Xiangyun brought a towel to help Bai Tingting wipe it clean, and brought clothes to change.

Long Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and drank a cup of hot water.

"My husband is tired too."

Wu Xiangyun helped Bai Tingting get dressed, and came over to help Long Chen pinch his shoulders.

"It's okay, just take a rest."

Bai Tingting sat cross-legged on the bed, pinched her fingers, and slowly adjusted her meridian breath.

Holding a teacup in his hand, Long Chen drank the tea slowly, admiring Bai Tingting's cross-legged meditation.

Wu Xiangyun turned his head to look over, frowned slightly and said, "Husband... what are you looking at!"

Long Chen smiled and said: "It's not my fault, why did you only wear half of the clothes on her?"

Wu Xiangyun immediately picked up the quilt and covered Bai Tingting's legs to prevent her from catching cold.

In early spring, it is cold and easy to catch cold.

"You stay here to guard Tingting, I'll go out to check the situation of the defense."

"it is good."

Long Chen got up and left the room, Wu Xiangyun was guarding Bai Tingting in the room.

Walking out the door, the cold wind blows on the face, and the sweat that is not completely dry is blown very cold.

As Long Chen walked down the mountain, Dugu Jiali was instructing the soldiers to set up the catapult.

"How do you set up a catapult on the mountainside?"

Long Chen felt a little strange, catapults were generally used for siege, and they were set up halfway up the mountain to throw stones down the mountain?

Dugu Jiali said: "Yes, I brought the kerosene tank from the Jade Buddha Pass here, and when the Xixia army attacks, I will throw the kerosene tank down. The effect will definitely be good."

Standing at the position of the catapult, Long Chen calculated the distance, nodded and said: "That's right, if you cast it from this position, you can just hit the bottom of the mountain."

Dugu Jiali said: "I installed catapults on all sides, which can attack the invading enemy troops from all directions."

Zhenguo Temple is a mountain. When Shi Le's army attacks, it is likely to besieged in an all-round way.

So Dugu Jiali set up catapults on all sides, and put kerosene cans in the fortress to ensure that Shi Le had a good drink.

Ye Chang hurried over and said, "My lord, there is a situation."

Dugu Jiali stopped immediately, and Long Chen asked: "What's the situation? Shi Le has started sending troops?"

Seeing that Ye Chang was so flustered, Shi Le probably started to leave.

Ye Chang shook his head and said, "No, Shi Le is still gathering troops in Yangcheng."

Dugu Jiali asked strangely: "What's the problem? It's worth your panic?"
