Long Chen exited the empress' room, and Yingfeng was waiting outside the door.
"Are you here?"
Long Chen thought Yingfeng was busy with other things, but he didn't expect Yingfeng to be guarding outside the door.
Yingfeng said with the same surprise: "Yes, I'll be guarding the door. You guys are inside and it's hard for me to get in."
Long Chen was a little speechless, what did Yingfeng mean by this?
It seemed as if Long Chen deliberately did something shameful with the empress in the room.
"Your Majesty wants to change clothes, please go in."
Long Chen coughed dryly and left quickly.
When they arrived outside, Long Chen saw Wu Jian.
"Major General, your room is over here."
Wu Jian prepared a special room for Long Chen.
After entering the room, He Juntao and Lu Ji were waiting inside.
"grown ups."
"Sit down and talk."
Long Chen sat down and Wu Jian closed the door.
"Tell me about the situation."
Long Chen sent He Juntao and Lu Ji to sneak into Linhu City to investigate the situation. When Long Chen arrived, the two returned.
He Juntao said: "Let's talk about Linhu City first. According to your instructions, we spread the news of an imminent war in the city. The people have almost fled, and the rest are fishermen. They refuse to leave."
Long Chen didn't want to hurt innocent people, so he spread the news of the impending war in advance to give the people enough time to leave.
Long Chen nodded slightly, and He Juntao continued: "There are 100,000 elite soldiers led by Xue Ze in the city. These soldiers have participated in the battle to siege Caishi City and are veterans."
"In addition, there are 300,000 newly recruited soldiers. Among these recruits are 100,000 elite soldiers from the South Camp. He Xu is hiding in the city."
Wu Jian asked in surprise: "He Xu's soldiers from the South Camp are actually hiding in the city?"
He Juntao nodded and said: "Yes, the news is reliable. They disguised themselves as recruits and lurked in the city. He Xu also hid his identity."
Long Chen asked: "Besides He Xu, are there any other generals in the city? Are Li Chengdao and Guitai here?"
He Juntao shook his head and said, "I didn't find it."
Not discovering it doesn't mean it's not there. Long Chen didn't dare to take risks.
Long Chen asked: "How are the cultivation levels of Xue Ze and He Xu?"
It stands to reason that even though these two people did not go to Longxing Valley, the ghost fetus would make them eat meat and vegetables to change their physiques, and their cultivation should reach the level of Emperor Zun.
He Juntao shook his head and said: "I can't be sure, but there are rumors of cannibalism in the city. Xue Ze may be drinking human blood."
Long Chen knew clearly in his heart that there were such rumors, which meant that Xue Ze was already half-ghost.
"Where are you?"
Long Chen looked at Lu Ji, who was responsible for inquiring about news about Beiling City and Zhongwucheng.
Lu Ji said: "Beiling City is guarded by Tong Yuan. There are 150,000 soldiers and horses in the city, all of whom have fought in battles."
"The situation in Zhongwucheng is similar. There are also 150,000 soldiers and horses, led by Liu Feibai, who has also fought in battles."
"These two cities are not big, so it is impossible to hide troops. There are only so many troops."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Okay, you guys will work harder and rush back immediately. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately."
He Juntao and Lu Ji immediately left the city, pretended to be ordinary people, and went to Linhu City to investigate.
After the people left, Long Chen rested in the city.
...
Jinling City, Imperial City Division.
Wang Liang hurried into the room, where Yu Fuguo was talking to Chen Lian.
"Can't find it?"
Yu Fuguo's face was gloomy, and Chen Lian carefully replied: "Wu Yue and Zuo Si suddenly disappeared, only taking Ji Ba with them, and the others don't know what happened."
Yu Fuguo finally knew about Wu Yue and Zuo Si's departure.
There are too many things going on at these times, and Yu Fuguo is so overwhelmed by Long Chen that he has no time to take care of Ji Ba's affairs.
By the time they discovered that Ji Ba was missing, several days had passed.
"If you can't even look at a few losers, are you a loser?"
Yu Fuguo was so angry that he shouted harshly, and Chen Lian immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This subordinate is incompetent!"
Wu Yue and Zuo Si were originally going to be sent to Longxing Valley, but Yu Fuguo took the money and let them go. Bayi Chinese website
Unexpectedly, these two people actually ran away and took Ji Ba with them.
The two of them stayed at Tai Hospital just to treat Ji Ba's injuries.
Taking Ji Ba away means that these two people will not come back again.
"My subordinates will do their best to find these two people..."
Before Chen Lian could finish speaking, Yu Fuguo cursed: "What a fool, you want the whole world to know that they ran away!"
Chen Lian immediately said: "My subordinates will search secretly."
Gui Fei must not let Gui Fei know about this matter, let alone Xuan Jizi.
If Gui Fei doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the Tianxiahui, he is afraid that Xuanjizi will talk to Gui Fei.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to treat it coldly, and no one will tell you.
Anyway, the war is about to begin, and everyone's attention is on Long Chen.
"Control the property of Tianxiahui and keep an eye on those in charge. Don't let anyone escape."
Yu Fuguo ordered, Chen Lian immediately responded: "I understand!"
After Wu Yue and Zuo Si took refuge with Li Chengdao, they reorganized the remaining industries of the Tianxiahui and there was still something left.
Yu Fuguo has been making money from it, this is his small treasury.
"Get down!"
Yu Fuguo cursed in disgust.
Chen Lian climbed out of the room.
Wang Liang walked over and bowed carefully: "Father-in-law."
Yu Fuguo said with a cold face: "You didn't ask anything?"
Wang Liang is responsible for tracking Shen Wanjin, and this task cannot be solved.
Shen Wanjin is an assassin. He wants to escape. Who can track him?
Wang Liang had no choice but to arrest and torture all the assassins living in the palace, but in the end he couldn't find out anything.
Wang Liang knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I am incompetent."
Yu Fuguo said angrily: "Everyone knows how to say that they are incompetent, what do we want from you?"
Wang Liang kowtowed and did not dare to reply.
Outside the door, Chen Lian hurriedly reported: "Eunuch, the Holy Son invites you to come into the palace to discuss matters."
Hearing that something was wrong with Gui Fei, Yu Fuguo immediately went out to the palace.
After Yu Fuguo left, Chen Lian said: "Wang Yasi, please get up, my father-in-law is gone."
Wang Liang got up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly: "Shen Wanjin is an assassin. He ran away. Where can I find him?"
Chen Lian sighed: "Stop talking, it's hard to do the errand, maybe we have to wait..."
Chen Lian wanted to say that maybe everyone can be relieved only by waiting for Long Chen to conquer Jinling.
However, if Jinling City is breached and Daliang is destroyed, what else can these people do?
If I had known this earlier, I should have established a good relationship with Long Chen at that time.
However, who could have guessed that Liu An was Long Chen.
"never mind..."
Wang Liang sighed and returned to Feng Jisi.
Yu Fuguo hurried into the palace and reached the imperial study room, which was already full of people.
Guitai sat on the dragon chair, Li Chengdao stood in the first place, next to Xuan Jizi, and behind him were the ministers of various ministries and the chief officials of each yamen.
Yu Fuguo knelt at the door, kowtowed and said, "Slave Yu Fuguo, pay your respects to the Holy Son."
Guitai glanced at Yu Fuguo and said calmly: "Come on."
Yu Fuguo got up and stood beside Xuanjizi.
Today's Daliang, Guitai is the first, Li Chengdao is the second, Xuan Jizi is the third national teacher, and he, Yu Fuguo, is fourth.
Xuan Jizi and Yu Fuguo are Gui Tai's right-hand men, and all government affairs of the court are handled by them.
After standing still, Guitai began to speak.
"You are called here today because of Long Chen's invasion, and the soldiers and horses have arrived in Xianhe City."
"The beam is your beam, I am just guarding the land for you."
"I have decided to personally go on an expedition to Linhu City to defend against the enemy. You all will go together."
Guite not only asked Li Chengdao to join the army, but also other ministers and government officials.
Fortunately for the Ministry of War, fighting is their business. The ministers of other ministries have their opinions, but no one dares to speak out.
"Okay, that's it. Let's prepare everything and leave in the evening!"
Guitai ordered coldly, and Li Chengdao immediately bowed: "I obey the order!"
The others did not dare to disobey and followed suit, saying: "I obey the order!"
