After Long Chen finished speaking, everyone below felt relieved.
They were worried that if they got any benefits, they would have to be driven by Long Chen like slaves.
"Thank you, King Wu, for your understanding. We are used to being idle and cannot stand the constraints of the military."
Hong Xiao stood up and thanked him. He was over 60 years old, so he would definitely feel uncomfortable being restrained by a young man in his 20s.
Others also looked happy.
Long Chen said: "Dazhou and Nanliang are still at war, so there is no need for you to do this."
The more everyone listened, the more they felt that Long Chen was easy to talk to. He didn't serve as a superior or subordinate, and he didn't have to participate in the war. So why should they be looking for him?
"May I ask King Wu, what's the point of us joining the gang?"
Scholar Li couldn't help but ask.
Cannibalism and loyalty have always been the case since ancient times.
It is impossible to just take benefits and not work. There is no such good thing in the world.
Long Chen said: "After destroying Nanliang, the ghost tribe will definitely invade. I hope you will take action when the time comes."
"There are no eggs left when the nest is overthrown. As King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will definitely go to the battlefield to lead the troops to resist, and you cannot stay out of it."
Only then did everyone understand that Long Chen wanted them to deal with the ghost clan.
Scholar Li opened his folding fan, flapped it slightly, and said: "The ghost race and the human race are incompatible. We have no reason to stand by and watch. Don't worry, King Wu."
The others had the same idea as Long Chen, no one could stay out of the ghost invasion.
Long Chen first gave them the skills to improve their cultivation. This was a good thing.
"Since everyone agrees, I will now teach the Long family's mental method, everyone, listen carefully."
Long Chen began to dictate, and everyone listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.
Scholar Li even took out pen and ink from his body to record it.
After Long Chen finished speaking, Scholar Li also finished writing.
"Wonderful!"
After listening to it, Hong Xiao immediately praised the Long family's exquisite mental method, which was completely different from the Immortality Secret.
Meng Yidao turned to look at scholar Li and said, "Master Li, please give me a copy. I didn't remember it."
Meng Yidao had never learned any systematic exercises before. I'm not very smart, so I didn't remember it just now.
Scholar Li immediately hid the skill and said, "Everyone is the same, why should I give it to you?"
Scholar Li didn't give it, and Meng Yidao was helpless.
Everyone immediately closed their eyes and went over it in their minds to make sure they could remember it completely.
While others read silently, Meng Yidao scratched his head and scratched his head, feeling anxious to death.
After everyone remembered it, Long Chen said: "Everyone, there is one more thing I will tell you truthfully."
"In addition to the exercises, there is also something called meat and vegetables. After eating that food, your physique will change and your cultivation level will improve."
"However, from now on, you are no longer humans, but half-ghosts. The sacred trees and demon-suppressing stones can cause fatal damage, just like the ghost-born subordinates you killed."
Everyone just nodded slightly, not very surprised.
They had heard the rumors a long time ago, especially after what happened in Longxing Valley.
He Qingsong asked: "May I ask King Wu, are the people in Longxing Valley like this?"
Long Chen nodded seriously and said: "Yes, that's it. They were all poisoned to death by me using magic-suppressing stone powder. I just sprinkled a small amount of magic-suppressing stone powder into the water that I drank, and they spontaneously combusted to death."
Everyone was horrified when they heard this.
"Thank you, King Wu, for telling me."
He Qingsong stood up and thanked him.
Scholar Li glanced at Long Chen. He had a question to ask, but he didn't say it in the end.
He actually wanted to ask Long Chen if he had also become a half-ghost, but this question was inappropriate.
"Okay, I won't keep you here anymore. I wish you all great success."
Long Chen stood up, everyone thanked him again and left.
Everyone has left, but Meng Yidao is still in the hall.
"Does Master Meng have anything else to do?"
Long Chen asked with a smile.
Meng Yidao was a little embarrassed
, said: "I'm a stupid person. King Wu spoke too quickly just now and didn't remember it."
Wu Jian smiled and said: "Master Meng, everyone else has remembered it, why are you the only one who hasn't remembered it?"
Meng Yidao laughed dryly, Long Chen said: "I will only tell you the inner law once, Master Meng can ask other people."
Meng Yidao said in embarrassment: "I asked scholar Li just now, but he didn't give it. I guess it will be the same if I ask other people."
"King Wu, can you say it again? I've already said it anyway, so it doesn't matter if I say it again."
Wu Jian smiled and said: "What you said is not right, Master Meng. You are not a member of the Long Family Army. Why should King Wu tell you twice?"
Long Chen smiled and went out to his room. Wu Jian patted Meng Yidao, shook his head and smiled, and left.
Meng Yidao stood alone in the living room, depressed.
"Why are you so stupid!"
Meng Yidao patted his head, hating that his head was not good.
.
Yingfeng walked into a pavilion, where the empress was enjoying the shade, holding a golden fan in her hand.
"How many people stayed?"
Yingfeng replied: "Sixteen, King Wu gave the Long family the secret method."
The empress knew what happened this time and agreed with Long Chen to do this.
Once the martial saint and the ghost girl wake up, there will be a big battle between the human race and the ghost race, and experts will be needed at that time.
Masters do not grow from the ground, they require time and practice.
"so little."
The empress was a little disappointed. More than a thousand people came, but only sixteen remained in the end.
Yingfeng also said with some disappointment: "They are all people who are unscrupulous and forget their loyalty. They just took the skills and left."
The empress asked: "What did he say?"
Yingfeng replied: "The banquet has just ended."
The empress nodded slightly.
Long Chen walked in from the outside, and Yingfeng said: "Your Majesty, King Wu is here."
Long Chen came over, and Yingfeng immediately stepped back, leaving the two of them alone. The empress gently waved her golden silk fan, her thin dress was blowing slightly in the wind, and the faint body fragrance floated, making Long Chen a little intoxicated.
"I took out the Secret of Immortality, but in the end there were only sixteen, which is a bit too few."
Long Chen sat down next to the empress and said: "Back then, there were only a dozen generals to deal with the Martial Saint. The key was to be powerful, not to have many people."
"If you are not willing, even if you agree now, it will be in vain if you don't contribute when the time comes."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "As long as you know what's going on, what are you thinking about in Linhu City?"
After the last battle, Long Chen has been busy dealing with the ghost fetus' surprise attack.
Now that things have calmed down, it's time to consider how to attack Linhu City.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "A few of Guitai's men have died, and the remaining defenders of the city are Li Chengdao, Yan Xi and Wu Hongying, plus Xuan Jizi, fighting generals is not a problem."
"But there are still 500,000 soldiers and horses in the city. If we attack by force, our losses will be huge."
The empress also did not agree with a forceful attack, as the losses would be too heavy.
The reason why Gui Fei recruited so many troops was to consume the forces on both sides and completely cripple the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Nan Liang Dynasty.
When the ghost tribe invades, there will be no soldiers available in the Central Plains.
Long Chen wanted to find a good strategy that could not only attack Linhu City but also reduce the battle losses.
"It's hard to find a solution to both problems. If it doesn't work, then we can only attack by force."
The empress said solemnly.
Long Chen said: "Give me some more time and I will go to Linhu City to have a look."
The empress said: "I will accompany you."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty will be here to guard you. I will leave quietly."
The empress was a little unhappy and said, "Do you find me particularly annoying now?"
Long Chen said in astonishment: "How could it be possible? Your Majesty is overthinking it."
The empress bit her red lips, looked at Long Chen, and suddenly rushed towards him. Long Chen immediately dodged and said: "Wei Chen, please leave!"
Long Chen turned around and ran away, and the empress cursed behind him: "You bastard, come back!"
