Long Chen returned to the city from the mine and found Wu Jian.
"Uncle Wu, you recruit some carpenters for me. You don't want too many carpenters, but you need more lumberjacks. I want to pretend to build a warship in Linhu."
"Mobilize some more soldiers and horses and camp southwest of Linhu to prevent Nanliang from attacking."
The iron ropes are already being built, and the big trees blocking the lake entrance are also being prepared.
Wu Jian said: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
.
Linhu City.
Feng Erniang walked into Guitai's room, and two followers were guarding the room.
"Master, Long Chen is building a barracks on the southwest bank of the lake. The loggers are cutting down huge trees in the mountains and building a dock by the lake. It seems that he really plans to build a navy."
Guitai opened his eyes and said, "Call Li Chengdao and the others."
Feng Erniang immediately issued the order.
Not long after, Li Chengdao climbed into the room, kowtowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Holy Son."
The ghost boy ignored it and continued to sit cross-legged and meditate.
Yu Ziming, Yan Xi, Wu Hongying, and Xuan Jizi climbed into the room and kowtowed together.
The ghost fetus slowly opened his eyes and asked them to kneel on the ground.
"Long Chen is building a dock in the southwest of Linhu Lake and plans to form a navy there. What do you think?"
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.
They didn't expect Long Chen to do this.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gui Fei clicked on the mystery and said, "What do you think?"
Xuanjizi immediately kowtowed and replied, "I thought maybe Long Chen had other plans."
Xuanjizi didn't know what to say at all, so he could only talk nonsense.
However, Gui Fei became interested and asked: "What do you think he is trying to do?"
Xuanjizi was stunned and couldn't think of what to say.
"Being smart."
Guite taunted him coldly, while Xuanjizi kowtowed to apologize.
"You guys tell me."
Guite looked at Li Chengdao and Yu Ziming.
Yu Ziming raised his head and said: "Reporting to the Holy Son, the moat around Linhu City is strong and the outer fortifications are also complete. Well done, the resistance to attack from the northeast and two directions is too great."
"The rainy season is coming soon. When the lake water rises, warships can reach the two southwest city walls. Long Chen is good at naval warfare, so this move is very threatening."
Yu Ziming is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He has a clearer view of these things and is much better than Xuan Jizi.
The ghost fetus nodded slightly and said, "Get up."
Yu Ziming bowed and said, "Thank you, Holy Son."
Guite looked at the other three people and said, "What do you think?"
Li Chengdao raised his head and said: "What Long Chen did was just a child's opinion. When the rainy season comes, the lake water will indeed rise, but it will take a long time to build the navy. By the time he completes the construction, the rainy season will have passed, and there will be no threat."
Guitai nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Building a naval warship will take only a few years to complete."
Li Chengdao added: "Moreover, building warships by the lake is a sign of contempt for us."
"We can wait until he has almost completed the construction, then send out an elite sneak attack to destroy all the warships. Long Chen's navy will never be able to complete it."
Guitai smiled and said: "You are still smart as a dog slave, but it is different once you become an emperor."
Li Chengdao is still the emperor of Daliang. Guitai said that he had been emperor, which was wrong, but no one refuted it.
"Just send someone to keep an eye on it and let them build it."
Guitai felt that what Long Chen did was not a threat, so he ignored it.
At this time, Yan Xi said: "Holy Son, I request to attack Xianhe City."
Guitai's face changed slightly and he said, "Are you leading troops?"
Yan Xi immediately said: "What virtues and abilities do you have, but the city is in short supply of food and grass. If the confrontation lasts for a long time, I'm afraid there will be problems with the army's food supply and our army will collapse without a fight."
Guitai said coldly: "Ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect grain. There are so many people in Nanliang, how can there be no food?"
Yan Xi was speechless and could only worship: "The Holy Son is wise."
Guite waved his hand and everyone left the room.
After the people left, Guitai asked: "What is Long Chen doing in the mine?"
Feng Erniang replied: "We are making iron ropes. It is said that Long Chen wants to connect a hundred warships together, and horses can race on them."
Guitai was about to ask why he was building an iron cable. When he heard that he wanted to connect the warships, Guitai smiled and said: "There are no ships, so what is he connecting to?"
Feng Erniang said: "I'm just trying to be smart."
Guitai stood up and said: "Yan Xi said to attack, and I also want to attack. How can it be so easy?"
Long Chen's cultivation level has improved too much, and Gui Fei can't handle it alone. Plus, with the Queen's plundering formation, Gui Fei doesn't dare to act rashly.
Li Chengdao was so disappointed. The empress broke through to the true state, but he was still stuck unable to move.
"Let Li Chengdao practice quickly and stop looking like a waste!"
When Gui Fei thought of this, he felt agitated.
Feng Erniang immediately conveyed the order.
.
Yanmen Pass.
Three men dressed as businessmen entered the pass.
When they arrived at the military camp in Guannei, the soldiers stopped the three of them and shouted: "The military camp is an important place, stop idlers!"
One of them took out a token. When the soldier saw it, he immediately let him go.
These three people are Feng He, Gan Xin and Mo Lin.
They were ordered to search for traces of the ghost's lair outside the Great Wall, but so far they have found nothing.
After more than two months of this trip, the supplies they had prepared were used up, so the three of them returned to Yanmen Pass to resupply.
When he heard that Feng He was back, the guard immediately came over to meet him.
After a while of greetings, Feng He and the others went back to their room to rest.
It just so happened that Long Chen's letter also arrived.
After reading the letter, Feng He pointed on the map and said: "King Wu said that the man walked in this direction after leaving Yanmen Pass. Calculating the time between going out and coming back, he was probably in this area."
Gan Xin smoked a dry cigarette and squinted his eyes and said, "We haven't been to this area before. We haven't found anything."
Mo Lin said: "Maybe we missed it. Let's rest for a while and then we can go for another walk."
Feng He said: "Have a rest first. Formation, this matter cannot be rushed."
Gan Xin and Mo Lin changed their clothes, left the pass, and headed to Fengsha Tower in the south.
When they arrived at Fengsha Tower, the two entered the room.
The new host met and the two asked some questions about the Central Plains.
They were in the northern border beyond the Great Wall and had no news. They had no idea what was happening in the Central Plains.
After listening to the landlord's report, the two closed the door to drink tea and smoke.
"King Wu is so powerful, he actually seriously injured the ghost fetus again."
Gan Xin was a little surprised.
In the duel in the snowy field, they all saw that Long Chen was deceiving, and Long Chen himself said that his cultivation level was not as good as that of Gui Fei.
However, in the battle at Linhu City, Long Chen seriously injured the ghost fetus again, which was different.
Once is luck, twice is strength.
This shows that Long Chen is more powerful than Ghost Fetus.
"Has King Wu's cultivation improved again?"
Mo Lin speculated whether Long Chen had improved his cultivation level again.
Gan Xin shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, it's really possible, but it's a pity that we are not here."
If they were here, they would be shameless enough to ask Long Chen for the technique.
"Tell me, where has Shen Wanjin gone?"
Mo Lin talked about Shen Wanjin.
Shen Wanjin's sneak attack failed and he disappeared and was said to have disappeared.
In fact, the two of them were a little afraid of Shen Wanjin's revenge for taking away the Wanjin Building property.
Gan Xin smoked a dry cigarette and said: "Shen Wanjin failed in his mission and will probably die if he goes back. If I were him, I would leave the Central Plains."
Mo Lin drank tea, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, fly far away, to a place where ghosts can't be found."
Gan Xin said: "He is finally done. Fortunately, our Holy Snow Peak has taken refuge in King Wu, otherwise we would have died in Longxing Valley."
The two of them felt lucky that they did not continue to follow Shen Wanjin.
Mo Lin nodded and said: "This is nature, everyone has his own destiny, and everyone has his own destiny."
After resting for a few days, Gan Xin, Mo Lin and Feng He continued to disguise themselves as businessmen and entered the northern grasslands.
