From eunuch to emperor

When Shen Wanjin had just assigned Menglan to escort supplies to Zhenguo Temple and let her seduce Long Chen, Yan Shuangyu felt that this job was good.

But after setting off from the capital, Menglan was thinking all the way what Shen Wanjin wanted to do?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt strange, how could she be sent to seduce Long Chen, just to obtain the exercises?

This matter does not make sense, but Meng Lan is not sure.

So on the way, Menglan sent someone to pass the letter to Longchen Feiying, and sent the news to Zhenguo Temple first.

Long Chen is smarter than her, Meng Lan believes that Long Chen can figure it out.

After Long Chen got the news, he immediately sent Tang Heizi and He Juntao to pretend to be Xixia's iron kite to kill Wanjinlou's cavalry, and found another corpse to pretend to be Menglan.

The golden cicada's plan to get rid of the shell that Long Chen used actually had loopholes.

If Shen Wanjin doesn't believe it, he must check the corpse, and he will definitely find something wrong.

No two people in the world are exactly alike.

But Long Chen didn't care, because Long Chen said that Meng Lan was dead, and Meng Lan was dead.

If Shen Wanjin had to turn against Long Chen because of Meng Lan, it would be a huge loss, Shen Wanjin is not a fool.

There is always interest between people.

So when Meng Lan said that Shen Wanjin would not believe it, Long Chen didn't care.

"So what if you don't believe me?"

Long Chen sat down, said with a smile.

Looking carefully, Long Chen smiled and said: "Well, it's not bad to wear a military uniform, my shopkeeper Menglan looks good."

Meng Lan looked at Long Chen's unscrupulous appearance, and said worriedly: "Yan Shuangyu will definitely send the body back to the capital, and the landlord will find out when the time comes."

Long Chen stepped forward and hugged Meng Lan, and said: "So what if you know? How dare he turn against me?"

Meng Lan said: "Now that you are so powerful in the world, the host naturally dare not turn against you, but it is still possible to do things behind the scenes."

"It's easy to block an open spear, but hard to defend against an arrow in the dark. Don't you worry about him finding someone to assassinate him?"

Long Chen bit Meng Lan's body, and said: "The weather is hot, and the body will rot when sent back, how to identify it?"

"The appearance of that corpse is very similar to yours, Shen Wanjin can only recognize it, if he does not recognize it, this king will kill him for you."

Long Chen spoke very domineeringly, Meng Lan's heart suddenly warmed up, she hugged Long Chen and asked: "I ask you, don't lie to me, what do you mean to me?"

For so long, Meng Lan and Long Chen have had everything, but the relationship between the two has been unclear.

This time, Long Chen used the golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell, and made Meng Lan feign death. After that, Meng Lan completely left Wanjin Tower and lived with Long Chen for the rest of her life.

Meng Lan had to ask clearly what she was, was she Long Chen's woman, or did Long Chen only treat her as a plaything.

Long Chen put his arms around Meng Lan's waist, untied his military uniform, and sat facing each other.

Long Chen suddenly exerted force, Meng Lan bit her lips lightly, hugged Long Chen with both hands, and stopped talking.

...

After half an hour, Meng Lan leaned on Long Chen and asked again: "Please tell me clearly, what exactly am I? I can't follow you in a daze."

Thinking about the relationship with Long Chen, Meng Lan felt very magical.

At the beginning when he took Long Chen to see Shen Wanjin, he was molested by Long Chen in the sedan chair, and it has been unclear until now.

Meng Lan must ask clearly.

Long Chen said: "From today on, you follow me, you are my woman."

Meng Lan looked at Long Chen seriously, hugged happily, and said: "Okay, I will follow you, no matter where you go."

"But Shen Wanjin, you can't be careless, he has a strong desire for revenge."

"He is still investigating about Xiuniang. He keeps saying that Xiuniang is not dead and was abducted by you."

"He will definitely keep looking into my affairs. You can't be so careless."

Long Chen was a little surprised, and asked: "Is Shen Wanjin still looking into Xiuniang's matter?"

So many years have passed about Xiuniang's matter, yet Shen Wanjin is still holding on to it?

This made Long Chen a little surprised.

Meng Lan nodded and said: "Yes, he has been checking, so my matter is not so simple."

Long Chen thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "I'll give Shen Wanjin a step down, I hope he will find out."

"If he dares to turn his back on him, I will destroy the Wanjin Building as well."

Meng Lan sighed slightly, and said: "Wanjinlou is not as powerful as Tianxiahui, but Wanjinlou is an assassin organization, hiding in the dark to assassinate, it is not so easy for you to destroy Wanjinlou."

The Tianxiahui is very powerful, but they are all ostensible forces, Long Chen can find a place to attack.

Wanjinlou was different, they were hiding in the dark, and Long Chen had nowhere to use his energy.

"Guess why I gave the property of Tianxiahui to Shen Wanjin?"

Long Chen put down Meng Lan, and slowly got dressed.

Meng Lan said: "To win over Shen Wanjin and deal with the Tianxiahui."

Long Chen shook his head slightly, and said: "At that time, I needed the help of Shen Wanjin's expert, that's a reason."

"However, if it's just to win them over, I can definitely pay a huge deposit."

"I gave him the properties of Tianxiahui in order to draw out the power of Wanjinlou."

"As far as I know, there are five Qianjin envoys in Wanjinlou, and three of them have surfaced."

"Yan Shuangyu is in the Jade Buddha Tower in Xifeng City, Qian Cheng is in the Fengsha Tower in Yanmen Pass, and You Fengyi is in the Wanghai Tower in Qianjiang County."

"There are two more, Granny Li from Nanliang, and Gan Xin from Xixia."

"The contact person between Gan Xin and Yan Shuangyu should be the groom who bought the wine. Gan Xin is in Yangcheng."

"He, Shen Wanjin, holds grudges, and I also hold grudges. If he dares to send someone to burn down my mansion and assassinate me, this account must be settled!"

It was only then that Meng Lan realized that Long Chen had given the property of the Tianxiahui to Shen Wanjin in order to expose the power of the Tianxiahui.

"You paid such a high price just to lure out the power of Wanjinlou?"

Only then did Meng Lan discover Long Chen's true intentions.

Long Chen nodded and said: "That's right, my original plan was like this, so you don't have to worry, if Shen Wanjin really dares to turn against me, I will kill him!"

For a long time, Meng Lan felt that Shen Wanjin was powerful.

Only now did I realize that Long Chen had a deep scheming mind.

From the very beginning, Long Chen had planned it out.

"Okay, with your words, I don't worry anymore, I will follow you in the future."

Meng Lan leaned against Long Chen's arms, feeling very at ease.

"You are locked up in the Jade Buddha. This is my territory, and people from the Wanjinlou cannot enter."

"I'll come to accompany you when I'm free, and have a good rest."

Long Chen kissed her, and Meng Lan said with a smile: "From today on, can I also call you Husband?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "Yes."

It's fine to call her husband, but it's impossible for Long Chen to make her a concubine, and Meng Lan also knows that she only wants to be with Long Chen.

Without Long Chen, Shen Wanjin would kill her sooner or later.

From Long Chen's point of view, this incident happened because of him, it is impossible for him to watch Meng Lan get killed.

Meng Lan was very happy, she untied the clothes Long Chen had just put on, and said: "This concubine will accompany my husband again."

Long Chen readily followed suit.

...

The old groom took the drink, passed Zhenguo Temple, and slowly entered Yangcheng.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the old horseman entering the city, they were still not embarrassed and let him in.

The wheels slowly rolled to Li's Wine Shop, and the old groom drove the carriage into the backyard.

A few guys came over to carry the wine jars, and the old groom naively told him, "Handle with care, it's expensive."

After finishing speaking, the old groom entered the room, Gan Xin sat at the table to settle the accounts, and put the tobacco stick aside.

After closing the door, the old groom took out a small bamboo tube from his pocket and said, "Master, a secret message."

Gan Xin glanced at the small bamboo tube, put down the abacus in his hand, took the small bamboo tube, unplugged it, took out the paper inside, carefully read the content, and frowned slightly.

"The landlord asked us to assassinate Zhao Lun."

The old groom nodded slightly, not much surprised, this order must have been made by Long Chen.

The two sides were fighting, it was normal for Long Chen to kill the Yangcheng prefect.

"How does the hall master plan to arrange it?"

The old groom waited for Gan Xin's order.

Gan Xin picked up the dry tobacco rod, pulled out the shredded tobacco from the golden pipe, stuffed it into the golden pipe, lit it with the fire, and started to smoke.

"Zhao Lun has been patrolling the city these days. It's easy to start. You can arrange it, or there will be no trace."

Gan Xin smoked dry tobacco and gave the order to assassinate.

The old groom nodded slightly and went to make arrangements immediately.

Outside Yangcheng, it was already dark, a bonfire was lit outside the city, and the soldiers sat around the bonfire.

During the day, the soldiers were very tired from training, building trenches, and strengthening the city walls. At night, they ate meat, drank and rested around the campfire.

Zhao Lun, the prefect of Yangcheng, and Lu Qichang, the privy envoy, walked outside the city together. The soldiers behind them held torches to check the fortifications built during the day.

"Master Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Qichang looked at the 20-meter-deep and [-]-meter-wide trench, and said, "That's enough. If Long Chengen dares to come, he will never come back!"

These days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have worked together to dig deep trenches outside the city, and thicken the city wall, with bed crossbows placed on the city wall.

Lu Qichang was ready, planning to fight Long Chen in Yangcheng.

Zhao Lun said, "It's still close."

Lu Qichang asked: "A little bit worse?"
