The empress waved her hands and said: "That's all, I've been out for so long, let him go."
"How are the preparations from the Ministry of War? Long Chen said that the Long Family Army is going to go north. When will it go north?"
Yingfeng said: "After discussion with the Ministry of War, we want the troops led by the third princess to go north first, while the Long family army rests for a while."
Emperor Lingyi once guarded the northern border. She had more than 30,000 cavalry in her hands. These cavalry did not participate in the battle to destroy Nanliang.
By sending these people north, on the one hand, they will be more familiar with the local situation, and on the other hand, it will also allow the Long family army to rest and recuperate.
Having just experienced a great battle, the Long family army was very tired.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the Long family army should have a good rest."
"The main task of going north now is to build fortifications, not to fight. Let Lingyi's troops do it."
Yingfeng immediately sent someone to inform the Ministry of War of the empress's wishes.
There were many memorials on the table, and the empress had finished reviewing them all. It was already evening.
Putting down the ink pen, the empress said: "Just leave Long Chen alone. The threat from the ghost clan is still there, so don't indulge in Wenrou Township."
The empress got up to rest. Yingfeng helped the empress to sleep and immediately left the palace to find Long Chen.
...
In a villa in the south of the city, Qing Meng was playing the pipa, and Long Chen was listening beside him.
After leaving Hanxiang's place, Long Chen arrived at Qingmeng's house.
Qingmeng lived alone and was very deserted. Long Chen came rarely, so she felt that she was being treated badly.
After playing the song, Qingmeng smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, does it sound good?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "It sounds good, Qingmeng's Pipa is getting better and better."
Long Chen liked it, Qing Meng was very happy and said with a smile: "I'll play another song for Brother Chen."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay."
Qingmeng played another song, and the sound of Qingyue's pipa was particularly pleasant at night.
By the time I finished playing, it was already dark.
"My lord, madam, it's time to rest."
The maid came in and said.
Qing Meng was weak, so Long Chen took the pipa and said, "Get some rest, it's late at night."
Qing Meng nodded, the maid tidied up the bedroom, and Long Chen slept with Qing Meng.
Qingmeng hugged Long Chen and soon fell asleep sweetly.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the window, and the person who came was of high cultivation.
Long Chen opened his eyes, slowly got out of bed, and went outside the house.
There was a tall figure standing on the wall, who looked very familiar...
"Why are you here?"
Long Chen recognized that the person was Yingfeng and immediately flew over.
Yingfeng took a look inside the room and said jealously: "The Holy One asked me to bring you a message, telling you not to indulge in Wenrouxiang and to do more serious things."
Long Chen hugged Yingfeng and said with a smile: "Doing business? I don't, I like you more."
Yingfeng cursed in a low voice: "Shameless, what are you talking about? Your little beauty is still asleep in the room, just thinking about eating sister's tofu."
Long Chen smiled and grabbed Yingfeng's belt and said, "Qingmeng is weak and cannot withstand the torment. Sister Yingfeng is in good health."
Yingfeng didn't want to get entangled with Long Chen, she wanted to go back and serve the empress.
Long Chen refused to let her go, hugged Yingfeng and fell into the bamboo forest.
"Don't mess around, I want to go back and serve the Holy One."
Yingfeng really wanted to leave, but Long Chen ignored him and said with a smile: "Serve me first and then talk."
After unfastening his belt, Yingfeng quickly held on to a thick bamboo.
...
Grassland, Baigu Mountain.
Li Chengdao walked into the cave to the east. The traces of burning were still there, and the ghost fetus sat in a daze on the bed where the holy guard had slept.
The death of the Holy Guard was a huge blow to Gui Fei. Li Chengdao had never seen Gui Fei so depressed.
The more the ghost fetus is like this, the less Li Chengdao respects the ghost fetus.
After all, ghost fetuses are just like ordinary people, and they will be hit mentally.
"Holy Son, drink some."
Li Chengdao presented a bowl of blood, which was the blood of grassland herdsmen.
Guiti glanced at the blood in the bowl and said coldly: "I want to drink Long Chen's blood!"
Li Chengdao was speechless. The ghost was just venting his emotions and didn't want to solve the problem at all.
At this point, the ghost fetus should think about how to awaken the martial saint and the ghost girl, and then lead the ghost tribe to take advantage of the snowstorm to invade the Central Plains for revenge.
Cursing Long Chen blindly will not solve any problems.
Li Chengdao put the blood aside and said: "Holy Son, I have inquired about some situations in Great Zhou. I heard that Long Chen is sending troops north. He is actively preparing for war. We don't have much time."
Baigu Mountain is isolated from the outside world. After the massacre at Yanmen Pass, business travelers did not dare to enter the grassland. Li Chengdao had no way of asking for information. He was talking nonsense.
Guitai looked at Li Chengdao coldly and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Li Chengdao immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "How dare you, slave? It's just that Long Chen's fellow is actively preparing for war. I'm incompetent and can't kill Long Chen. Only the Holy Son can chop off Long Chen's dog head."
"The Holy Son must cheer up, summon the ghost clan, kill Long Chen, and avenge the Holy Guard!"
Guite didn't speak for a long time, and Li Chengdao kept kneeling.
Finally, Guitai stretched out his hand, and the bowl on the table fell into Guitai's hand.
After drinking the slightly coagulated blood, Guitai smashed the bowl on the ground, stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Li Chengdao was overjoyed and followed Gui Fei out.
...
Dazhou, the capital.
Long Chen returned to the city, and Zhang Man was leading his troops out of the city.
Long Chen came up to greet him. When Zhang Man saw him, he immediately dismounted his horse and saluted: "Greetings to King Wu."
The other generals dismounted and saluted: "Greetings to King Wu."
Long Chen asked: "Where are you going?"
Zhang Man immediately replied: "The general will go north to Yanmen Pass according to the order."
After Long Chen thought for a while, he understood the empress's arrangement.
Zhang Man is a subordinate of Di Lingyi and once guarded Yanmen Pass. It is best for them to go north first. The Long family army needs to rest.
"Okay, you go."
When Long Chen returned to Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhang Man mounted his horse, left the city gate, and immediately headed north with 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Back at Prince Wu's Mansion, He Juntao led the horse, and Long Chen asked, "What happened in the past two days?"
He Juntao said: "It's nothing. Miss Liu came once and gave me a cotton coat."
Liu Hanyan came yesterday. She heard that Long Chen was about to start a war with the ghost tribe, so she sewed a cotton coat for Long Chen.
Long Chen didn't speak, and He Juntao said: "Miss Liu still has adults in her heart, but... she refuses to stay in the house."
Liu Hanyan is a man of the world, and has the aloofness of a man of the world.
She is willing to follow Long Chen, but is not willing to become one of the many concubines in Prince Wu's Mansion.
Long Chen didn't say anything, and went back to the backyard to wash up and wash the clothes he had worn.
After changing into court clothes, Long Chen prepared to enter the palace.
Su Yourong saw Long Chen and asked, "Sir, I would like to ask if I want to make a dragon robe?"
The empress specially gave Long Chen a dragon robe to wear. Logically speaking, Long Chen should make one and wear it when going to court.
Long Chen immediately said: "Auntie, don't mess around, you are not allowed to make dragon robes."
"I'm not the emperor. I go to court wearing a dragon robe. What will your Majesty do?"
Above the court, the empress wearing a phoenix robe was sitting on top, and Long Chen was standing below wearing a dragon robe. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
Su Yourong thought about it and said with a smile, "Forget it then?"
Long Chen said: "Don't mention this matter again."
After saying that, Long Chen immediately rode into the palace.
