In Nanliang, the emperor or superiors gave medicines, which were basically poisons.
Therefore, when Lu Ji gave Chen Lian the elixir and said it was from Long Chen, Chen Lian was very scared.
Unexpectedly, after taking the elixir, it was really effective.
"Such a good medicine."
Chen Lian sighed and couldn't believe it.
Lu Ji smiled and said, "I used to be an enemy of King Wu in the Imperial City Division. I always said that King Wu was full of tricks and so on. But after I got here, I discovered that King Wu values love and righteousness. You don't have to think too much when doing things under him."
Lu Ji said this, and Chen Lian also expressed his doubts.
"You are here, does King Wu completely trust you?"
Lu Ji smiled and said: "Of course I won't trust him at the beginning. Our family members are all in Jiangbei, the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"However, once the arrangement is made, King Wu will not doubt it. People who are suspicious do not need to be trusted. This is King Wu's principle."
"You may have noticed that Mr. Fish's personality has changed a bit not long after he came here."
Chen Lian nodded and said, "Yes, I feel that my father-in-law has changed a bit."
In the past, Yu Fuguo was violent and suspicious, but today he felt a little warm. Chen Lian thought he felt wrong.
Lu Ji smiled and said: "This is the case in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it has been like this since the beginning of the Holy Emperor."
Chen Lian nodded and said: "Hey, brothers abandoned the secrets and turned to the bright side early, so pity us..."
Lu Ji sighed: "I was captured by King Wu and bumped into this place by mistake."
"Let's not talk about the past. We will still be brothers from now on. Working hard with King Wu will be better than being in Jinling City."
Outside the door, a spy hurried in and said, "Boss, something happened."
Lu Ji stood up, patted Chen Lian and said, "Have a good rest."
Lu Ji hurried to Long Chen's room, where Yu Fuguo and Wu Jian were already inside.
Lu Ji walked in and Yu Fuguo closed the door.
After sitting down, Long Chen said: "Mr. Yu, please tell me."
Yu Fuguo said: "Guitai brought five followers. King Wu killed one, and Guitai ate two himself. He may have felt that there were not enough people, so he asked one of his followers to go north."
"I was thinking about finding a way out, so I sent Cheng Qing from the Wenfeng Division to follow that person."
"Then something happened, and I lost contact with Cheng Qing, but now I'm finally in touch."
"King Wu wants us to intercept and kill the reinforcements on the way to avoid trouble on the battlefield."
After Yu Fuguo finished speaking, he looked at Long Chen.
Long Chen said: "That's the situation. We don't need too many people in this operation. It's mainly about tracking and intercepting."
"Uncle Wu is guarding Xianhe City. I, Eunuch Yu, and Lu Ji will go there."
Wu Jian nodded and said: "Don't worry, Major General. With the Holy One in charge, there won't be any problems."
Long Chen said: "You guys need to appoint people yourself. If you are good at tracking, I will do the fighting."
Yu Fuguo and Lu Ji immediately went to select people, and Long Chen walked towards the empress' yard.
Such an important matter needs to be reported before leaving.
The empress was reviewing the memorial, and Yingfeng stood beside her.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen glanced at Yingfeng and signaled her not to leave, lest there would be no one around and the empress would act randomly again.
Yingfeng laughed secretly in her heart and stood by the side without leaving.
"You've come just in time, see for yourself."
The empress threw a memorial to Long Chen.
After receiving the memorial, Long Chen opened it. It was a memorial written by Sun Yun, the old Gong of Zhuguo.
After reading the memorial, a look of embarrassment appeared on Long Chen's face...
"Tell me, how to solve it?"
The empress looked unhappy.
Gongsun Yun said in the memorial that the eldest princess and the second princess were often unhappy, especially the eldest princess Di Yuwei.
Long Chen was too powerful and his status was too high. Di Yuwei always felt that he could not keep his position in the East Palace, and he had feelings for Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi.
Emperor Xingwan was often unhappy.
If this continues, I am afraid that the suspicion and suspicion between the sisters will become wider and wider, leading to political instability.
In this situation, Long Chen had no choice.
Long Chen said in embarrassment: "The Holy One has already granted marriage to the third and fourth princesses. We can't give the eldest princess to the second princess as well, right?"
The empress immediately frowned and scolded: "You have a beautiful idea, do you want all five members of my family to marry you?"
Long Chen immediately said: "No, Your Majesty, how can anyone marry his mother-in-law?"
Yingfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud. The empress glanced at Yingfeng, who immediately stepped back.
The empress snorted coldly: "You brat, you have such a beautiful idea. All four of your daughters will be married to you. You want nothing more!"
Long Chen thought to himself: Who would want to eat shit? I'm wondering how your four daughters will eat it.
"This is His Majesty's housework, and it's not for humble ministers to interfere."
Long Chen refused to talk about this matter, and the empress said angrily: "My housework, isn't it your housework?"
Long Chen chuckled, not wanting to continue this bloody topic of family ethics.
"Just now, the Yufu Kingdom contacted the people from the Wenfeng Division, the spies who were tracking Guitei's followers. Weichen plans to work with the Yufu Kingdom and Luji to intercept the reinforcements of the Guitei."
When Long Chen got back to business, the empress still felt unhappy and glared at Long Chen angrily.
"Your Majesty, calm down. Angry people tend to get wrinkles. Wrinkles make you look bad."
Long Chen smiled playfully and didn't mind the empress' scolding at all.
The two of them talked about flirting, the empress couldn't get what she asked for, and Long Chen knew what he wanted to do but couldn't.
"Humph, you still care about my wrinkles and whether I look good or not." ⑧①ZW.????m
Long Chen smiled and said nothing.
After the empress' anger subsided, let's get back to the topic.
"Yu Fu has just surrendered, so you go out with him. If he rebels, things will be unpredictable."
The empress did not completely trust Yu Fuguo, and he was worried that something would go wrong.
But Long Chen said: "If he uses tricks, I can easily kill him. This person from Yufu State cherishes his life and will not use himself as bait."
"Moreover, the Imperial City Division has indeed been destroyed. He has gained more benefits in Dazhou than in Nanliang."
Look at people and profits, and if something is beneficial, you will generally not go wrong.
If a person says he is sacrificing his own interests for your own good, then there is a problem.
Yufu State reorganized the Imperial City Division here and granted officials and titles, which was better than in Nanliang.
Long Chen believed that Yu Fuguo was not a bait.
The empress nodded slightly and said: "You have to be careful. If the situation goes bad, break out immediately."
Long Chen said: "I know, then I'm leaving."
Long Chen immediately withdrew, while Yingfeng was outside, laughing in a low voice: "How is it? Have the eldest princess and the second princess given it to you?"
Long Chen hugged Yingfeng and said, "Aren't you jealous at all? There are only so many things. If others eat them, you will be gone."
Yingfeng frowned and said, "I'm not serious enough to tell you."
Yingfeng went in to wait on her, and Long Chen left the yard and returned to the room.
After carefully preparing their things, Long Chen, Yu Fuguo, and Lu Ji quietly left the city when night fell.
...
Linhu City.
When night falls, the ghost fetus comes out of the room.
After walking out of the west gate and sitting by the lake, Feng Erniang brought a fishing rod over.
The ghost caught it, threw it out for more than ten meters, and looked at the lake quietly.
"Isn't there any movement from Long Chen?"
Guitai asked coldly.
Feng Erniang replied: "There hasn't been much movement in the past two days, except for the recruitment of those rebellious people from the Imperial City Division, and there are more than 40 people."
"Gongsun Linglong has already forged weapons in the iron mines, and is said to be building a warship."
The ghost will definitely know about Gongsun Linglong's iron ore smelting.
In order to conceal the true purpose, Long Chen announced to the outside world that he would build warships and besiege them from the west of Linhu Lake.
Guitai sneered: "Build a warship? How can he build it in just a few years?"
Although ancient warships were made of wood, the amount of engineering required was very large, and it did not happen overnight.
"Master, do you think Long Chen has other agendas?"
Feng Erniang heard the hidden meaning of ghost fetus.
