"Thank you, Governor Zhang, for sending me all the way."
Long Chen cupped his hands and thanked him on the horse. Zhang Lian quickly bowed under his horse and said, "I can't send you more gifts, King Wu. Have a good trip."
Long Chen, wearing a black gauze hat and black gauze clothes, rode his horse slowly toward the southwest.
Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin rode in the same carriage, Gan Xin and Mo Lin rode in one, Long Yuan and Liu Hanyan rode in one. Blind Man Xiong and a group of brothers followed behind on horseback.
Most of the brothers who followed stayed in Shuohai City, and only about 20 people wanted to go to the capital.
Watching Long Chen go away, Jun Cheng said: "Everyone says that King Wu is vicious, why do you think that King Wu is so polite?"
In Shuohai City these past few days, officials from top to bottom were very scared. They heard that Long Chen killed people without blinking an eye.
But after getting along for a few days, they all felt that Long Chen was a very nice person and the rumors were wrong.
Zhang Lian said: "If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow. King Wu is targeting corrupt officials. What should we be afraid of?"
"It's a pity that we can't send King Wu back to the capital."
Zhang Lian wanted to curry favor with Long Chen. He knew that Long Chen was lustful and had prepared many beauties. However, Liu Hanyan, Ziyun, and Miaoyin followed, so he could not send them in.
The county magistrate asked: "Master Taishou, what about the beautiful women we have prepared? Do you want to send them back to the capital?"
Since you can't give it to Long Chen in Shuohai City, then send it to the capital.
Zhang Lian frowned and said: "The princess was in the capital and was discovered by the princess. She couldn't eat and walked around."
The county magistrate chatted and retreated.
.
Capital, Jujin Tower.
You Fengyi led a dozen assassins into a secret room, and Shen Wanjin sat in the middle with a very ugly look on his face.
"Master, everyone is here."
You Fengyi knew that Shen Wanjin was in a bad mood and was very careful about what he said.
Yesterday, the subordinates of Wanjin Tower sent information, saying that Gan Xin and Mo Lin appeared in Shuohai City and that the two of them had taken refuge with Long Chen.
Shen Wanjin was extremely surprised that Long Chen and the others were able to come back alive from Holy Snow Peak.
I thought I would definitely die if I went to Shengxue Peak, but I didn't expect to come back alive. r> The letter said that Gan Xin and Mo Lin wore black gauze hats to cover their faces when they went out. Shen Wanjin thought they were secretive and wanted to hide their identities.
This is obviously a betrayal of Wanjinlou and joining Long Chen's command.
The embroiderer is missing, Meng Lan has also disappeared inexplicably, Yan Shuangyu has been bought by Long Chen, and Shen Wanjin is about to become a polished commander.
Therefore, Shen Wanjin was very angry.
"Go and bring Gan Xin and Mo Lin back!"
Shen Wanjin's tone was cold and he sounded angry.
You Fengyi hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, if the two of them really take refuge in Long Chengen, my subordinates will be afraid."
Long Chen is not a good person. If Long Chen refuses to give, there is nothing You Fengyi can do.
Shen Wanjin said angrily: "So what! They are from my Wanjin Building, he dares to ask for it!"
"You just go and get the people. If Long Chengen dares to stop him, I will argue with him!"
There is a ghost behind Shen Wanjin, and if Long Chen insists on not giving it to him, he will break his face.
Although he didn't fully understand the matter of ghost fetuses, he knew that ghost fetuses were very powerful, or rather terrifying.
If the ghost takes action, not to mention Long Chen, even if he is the empress, it will be nothing.
"Subordinates take orders."
When You Fengyi saw that Shen Wankin was angry, he did not dare to say anything and immediately led his people to the northeast.
After leaving Jujin Tower, You Fengyi left the city and happened to encounter a horse galloping into the city.
This is the arrival of Shuohai City's messenger.
The messenger rushed across the street to the palace gate and delivered the urgent message into the palace.
Yingfeng received the letter, opened it and read it, with a look of ecstasy on her face.
Taking the letter, Yingfeng entered Huaqing Pool, where the empress was reviewing the memorial by the lake.
Xixia has just surrendered. This year there is a drought in Xixia and there is a problem with the people's food rations. The guard general Tang Na asked the court to allocate food and salary for disaster relief.
.
"Your Majesty, King Wu is back!"
Yingfeng shouted happily.
When the empress heard that Long Chen was back, she immediately threw the memorial in her hand on the table, stood up and asked, "Where is the person?"
Yingfeng presented the urgent report to the empress and said: "Zhang Lian, the governor of Shuohai City, reported that King Wu arrived at Shuohai City six days ago and is probably back now."
After the empress read the letter, Zhang Lian said that Long Chen and Ziyun Master Taiyi and others had arrived at Shuohai City by sea and would be rushing back to the capital in the near future.
The empress closed her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, her anxious heart finally settling down.
"God bless me, this kid is finally fine."
After reading the letter again, the empress cursed: "This guy didn't know how to send the letter back first when he was fine, and asked Zhang Lian to deliver the letter. How can it be unreasonable!"
Yingfeng smiled happily and said: "As long as everything is okay, it would be better than anything else if King Wu can come back safely."
The empress happily received the letter and said, "Tell Luo Xi and Ling Yi to let them rest assured. What's the matter?"
During these times, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi went to the palace every three days to inquire about Long Chen's whereabouts.
Yingfeng bowed and said, "I have received the edict and will tell the princess now."
The empress said again: "Send a team of troops to greet you."
Yingfeng smiled and said: "Princess knows that King Wu is back, she will definitely go there in person."
The empress thought about it. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi would probably bring people to greet them in person, so there was no need to send people themselves.
"That's it, go ahead."
After receiving the imperial edict, Yingfeng immediately went out.
The empress picked up the memorial and said: "Wan'er, please tell the Minister of Household Affairs to come here to discuss the matter."
Di Waner was also very happy to be around, but she was not easy to talk to.
During these times, Di Waner was looking forward to Long Chen's safe return day and night.
Now finally the good news has arrived.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
Di Waner happily went out to deliver the order.
Yingfeng arrived at the West Palace. Di Luoxi was standing in the pavilion, while Qingyue and Xuanyi directed the palace maids to stick the cicadas off the tree.
"There's still one on that tree!"
Di Luoxi pointed to a tree next to her irritably.
She was worried about Long Chen in her heart, she was already upset, and Cicada's shouting made her very irritable.
"Princess, I know too many cicadas, and I can't stick them clean at all."
Qingyue complained endlessly, and they worked day and night to catch the cicada.
But after they were caught, new cicadas came over, and it was endless, and the maids in the palace were exhausted.
Di Luoxi didn't care, she was very irritable now and just wanted to clean up the cicada.
"Then cut down all the trees, it's so annoying!"
Di Luoxi was very arrogant, just like Di Lingyi who was sitting far away, the folding fan in his hand was broken.
"Burn it, it's so annoying!"
Emperor Lingyi's temper became even more violent.
Just when the palace maid was in danger, Yingfeng strode over and said happily: "Princess, there is news. King Wu has arrived at Shuohai City and is on his way back."
Di Luoxi was stunned for a moment, grabbed Yingfeng with a quick step, and asked: "The dead eunuch is back?"
Emperor Lingyi rushed over immediately and asked: "Is the news reliable? Where is it?"
When Qingyue and Xuanyi heard that Long Chen was back, they also gathered around and asked, "Have you really come back? Where have you been?"
Yingfeng smiled and said: "Princess, King Wu has returned to his male form, why do you still call him a eunuch?"
Di Luoxi ignored it and asked, "Where are you?"
Yingfeng said: "Still on the way. We arrived at Shuohai City six days ago."
Before Yingfeng could say anything more, Di Luoxi immediately said: "Get your horses ready and follow me!"
Emperor Lingyi also said: "Give me a horse!"
Qingyue and Xuanyi immediately prepared their horses, and Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi immediately led the people to the northeast.
When the maid of the West Palace heard that Long Chen was back, she felt as if she had received an amnesty and no longer had to arrest her.
