Long Chen gently placed Shui Yun on the bed, took a silk scarf to wipe away her tears, and comforted her: "Okay, Sister Shui Yun, it's okay, we are back."
"From today on, you are mine and no one will bully you."
Shuiyun hugged Long Chen and said with laughter and tears: "You are the Queen's wife, why are you talking big words?"
Long Chen smiled, stroked Shui Yun's hair, and comforted him: "Remember what I say now, you are mine, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Shuiyun hugged Long Chen tightly and said, "Thank you today. If it weren't for you, I would be dead."
Long Chen sighed slightly and said: "It's okay, have a good rest."
After taking care of Shui Yun to lie down, Long Chen stood up and wanted to leave. Shui Yun hugged Long Chen and said, "Don't leave, stay with me."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Then I will sleep with you?"
Shuiyun laughed and cursed with a snotty voice: "You are not a serious person."
Long Chen took off his shoes and slept with Shui Yun in the room.
Night falls.
Shuiyun was sleeping deeply, Long Chen slowly got up and went out softly.
Once outside, Long Chen entered the secret room, followed by the male servant.
"What's the situation like on the front lines?"
Long Chen sat down and poured a cup of tea.
The male servant took out a bamboo tube and presented it to Long Chen: "The military report has just arrived."
Long Chen took the bamboo tube and took out the letter inside, which was sent by Wu Jian.
The empress promised to send more officials to Yangcheng, and the staff department was already selecting them.
Zhang Qian and Dugu Jiali led the cavalry to patrol the city. Shi Le's rangers were killed in several waves, and the number of raids has been reduced.
The assassins led by Bai Tingting attacked several cities and killed hundreds of officials in Xixia in revenge. Shi Le was very angry and sent assassins to chase them.
As for the people, after Wu Jian provided them with food, their sentiments gradually stabilized, and few people believed in the idea of ​​castrating people to become eunuchs.
After reading the military report, the situation east of Yangcheng has stabilized.
"Do you have a map of the palace?"
Long Chen collected the military report, raised his head and asked.
The manservant immediately replied: "Master Qianhu has already prepared it."
Long Chen established the West Factory, and the positions were divided into five levels: town governor, thousand households, hundred households, general banner, and small banner.
The governor was of course Feng He, and Zheer was responsible for the affairs of Xixia, and his position was Qianhu.
Therefore, the male servant called Zhe'er Master Qianhu.
"Bring it here, I want to see it."
The footman immediately went back to his room and brought a map of the palace.
Long Chen looked at the map carefully and then said: "I'm going to the pharmacy. If Shuiyun wakes up, just say I'm at the pharmacy."
"You stand guard outside the pharmacy and don't allow anyone to come in."
The footman bowed and said, "I understand."
Long Chen collected the map, came out of the secret room, went to the bedroom to get a medical book, and then entered the pharmacy. The male servant was guarding the door.
Long Chen entered the pharmacy and pushed open a medicine cabinet. There was a secret passage behind it.
Long Chen entered through the secret passage and walked more than two hundred meters to find an old house.
Coming out of the old house, Long Chen changed into night clothes and climbed onto the roof.
Stepping on the ridge of the roof, Long Chen sneaked into the palace, easily avoiding the bright posts and hidden sentries along the way.
With his current level of cultivation, it would be easy to deal with these forbidden troops.
According to the markings on the map, Long Chen landed in a secluded courtyard.
There were several old eunuchs chatting at the door. It was dark inside.
Long Chen walked to the door and vaguely saw three words in the dim night: library.
This is where Xixia's classics are stored.
The door was locked. Long Chen did not go in through the door, but used a blade to push open the wooden bolt of the window and slipped in through the window.
The building was dark and no one was guarding it.
Xixia emphasized martial arts rather than literature, and did not attach much importance to these classics, so the defense was naturally lax.
Long Chen took out a night-light pearl and looked for it row by row with the help of the cold light.
There are Xixia household registration albums, scriptures, and dynasty history.
Long Chen searched carefully on the bookshelf of dynasty history.
After searching for a long time, I finally found a history book in a cabinet, which read: Taizu Shengji.
Long Chen opened the book, and the first page read:
Emperor Taizu Wu was a native of Ancheng, Lin State. His surname was Shi, Taupitian, and his courtesy name was Ruyu. He was the queen of Shi Lu, the Prime Minister of Lin State.
"Yes, that's it."
Long Chen collected Taizu's Holy Book, stood up and walked around again, trying to find some secret books on the exercises, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any.
Stored here are all things that Shi Le didn't pay much attention to. The secrets of the exercises are treasures and are not here.
Long Chen opened the window, flew onto the roof, stepped on the roof ridge back to the old house, and then returned to the pharmacy through the secret passage.
After closing the secret passage, Long Chen carefully read the records of Shi Potian, the founding emperor of Xixia, under the lamp.
Shi Potian, the founding king of Xixia, was originally from Ancheng, Lin State.
Before the Three Kingdoms, the world was full of Warring States and there were many small countries.
Countries are united vertically and horizontally, attacking each other, and the people are living in dire straits.
According to Long Chen's understanding of the world, Lin Guo'an City where Shi Potian is located should be near Anmu City, which is where Zou Cailiang is.
According to historical records, Shi Potian was proficient in martial arts. In his weak years, he was named the general of the Lin State. He annexed many small countries around him, and the Lin State became increasingly powerful.
Later, the Martial Saint Wang Yukun rose to power, and Shi Potian fought Wang Yukun in a decisive battle, but was defeated by the Martial Saint. The King of Lin State surrendered, and Shi Potian joined the Martial Saint.
After joining Wu Sheng's command, Shi Potian repeatedly made military exploits and was later canonized as the King of Xixia.
This is probably what the history books record, but the most critical part, and the part that Long Chen wants to see the most, is not detailed.
Before the world was divided into three parts, the book said that there were monsters coming from the north. Wu Sheng led the soldiers of the world and fought against the monsters at Yanmen. Taizu created magic weapons and achieved great achievements. He was on par with the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty.
"Why do you feel that someone deliberately concealed this period of history? Or is it that it has been too long and I can't remember it?"
Long Chen was quite disappointed.
After looking at Shi Potian's wooden statue in the palace, Long Chen vaguely felt that there was important information in it.
I wanted to look for clues from the historical records of Xixia, but I found that the key parts had been erased.
"I wonder if there is any record of the history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
Long Chen hid Taizu Shengji in the cabinet.
After walking out of the pharmacy, the male servant said: "Miss Shuiyun is awake."
Long Chen nodded and walked into the bedroom, where Shui Yun was washing his face.
"It's such a hot day, why don't you just wash your face?"
Long Chen walked over with a smile, hugged Shui Yun from behind, and put his hands into his clothes.
Shuiyun hurriedly covered his hands and said coquettishly: "Why are you like this!"
In the past, Long Chen also wanted to take advantage of Shui Yun, but Yu Qing was always around doing bad things, making it difficult for Long Chen to succeed.
Now that Yuqing is dead, the queen has also given Shuiyun to herself, so she can take advantage of it boldly.
"From today on, you are mine, why don't you take advantage of me?"
No matter how hard Shui Yun struggled, Long Chen took matters into his own hands.
In fact, Shuiyun didn't really resist, she just hadn't experienced it before and was frightened by Long Chen.
Today Long Chen rescued her, and the queen also had a decree. She was Long Chen's person, Shui Yun knew it very well.
"You are such a person, you are so confident in taking advantage of me."
Shuiyun was made lose temper, Long Chen said with a smile: "Good sister, it's such a hot day, can you sleep at night if you don't take a shower?"
Shuiyun frowned and said, "You just want to trick me into washing it together."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Sister Shuiyun is so smart, she can make things happen with just a few clicks."
Shuiyun cursed softly: "I never realized you were so bad before."
Long Chen picked up Shui Yun and said: "Now that I have discovered it, it is too late to run away."
