A snow eagle landed at Yanmen Pass, and the messenger immediately picked it up and reported it to the empress.
The messenger was sent to the door, and the shadow guard sent him in. The empress was talking to Ziyun and Miaoyin.
The empress told the two of them about Long Chen's proposal for a blood exchange.
After hearing this, the two of them were hesitant.
After becoming a groom, my cultivation level has not improved, so I can only think of other methods.
Exchange transfusion is a possibility, but the risk is too high.
"What if something goes wrong?"
Master Ziyun said worriedly...
The empress sighed slightly: "If something goes wrong, you can give my blood to Long Chen when the time comes!"
Ziyun and Miaoyin were shocked. They didn't expect the empress to say this.
"You're crazy!"
Master Ziyun couldn't help but exclaimed.
The empress spoke slowly but resolutely: "I am not impulsive. Long Chen has better qualifications than me, and he is better at leading troops and fighting in battles. Let him survive, the value is greater, and the hope of victory is greater."
The owner of Miaoyin shook his head and said: "Long Chen will not agree."
The empress said: "He doesn't need to agree. When the time comes, only you two guardians will be left. If something goes wrong, you will do it according to my wishes!"
Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin remained silent.
Rationally speaking, it was a wise move to give the empress' blood to Long Chen.
After Long Chen's cultivation level is improved, if someone can compete with the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, and the general can withstand it, then there is hope for victory.
However, from a perceptual point of view, they could not accept watching the empress die.
There are also four princesses. What will they think and do when they find out?
Will he turn against Ziyun and Miaoyin?
He even turned against Long Chen.
The shadow guard pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Your Majesty, the waiting cavalry detective has arrived."
With that said, the shadow guard presented the detective report, and the empress opened it. It read: The ghost army will arrive in two days.
Yanmen Pass sent more than a dozen groups of waiting cavalry. After seeing the ghost tribe's army, they immediately sent a letter to Yanmen Pass to constantly monitor the ghost tribe's movements. r> "Two days."
The empress put down the detective report, feeling sad in her heart.
Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin also feel a headache. The ghost tribe will arrive in two days. The enemy is in front of them and a war is imminent. How to improve their cultivation level is still unclear.
"What is King Wu doing?"
The empress handed the detective report to Ziyun, and the shadow guard replied: "King Wu is worshiping heaven today."
The empress asked in confusion: "Sacrifice to heaven? What kind of heaven are you offering sacrifices to?"
Miaoyin asked doubtfully: "What is the use of offering sacrifices to heaven at this time?"
The shadow guard shook his head and said: "My subordinates don't know that King Wu set up the Nine Palaces and Bagua array near Yanmen Pass and burned firewood and grass to offer sacrifices to the sky. Everyone knows it."
The empress couldn't understand, but Long Chen often did things like this, which seemed inexplicable, but actually had a profound meaning.
"Where is King Wu? I want to see him."
One day passed, the empress wanted to ask about the situation, and the shadow guard immediately went out to look for someone.
At this time, Long Chen was in the room listening to Feng He's report about the tomb robbery.
"I've looked over hundreds of miles around and dug several large tombs, but there are no cold jade beds."
Feng He shook his head in disappointment, picked up a cup of tea and drank it, and continued: "Sir, the area near Yanmen Pass is bitterly cold and desolate. There are no decent tombs here. If you want to find a cold jade bed here, you are trying to find a fish in the wood."
The cold jade bed is very precious, and only the rich and powerful will be buried with it.
Yanmen Pass belongs to the boundary between the Central Plains and the barbarians. There are constant wars in peacetime, and there are no wealthy families here.
Long Chen nodded and said: "It's just like what I thought. I just want you to try your luck. If you don't find it, forget it."
The function of the cold jade bed is to cool down. It is best to have a cold jade bed. Blood exchange can be done without it, as long as there are enough ice cubes in the room to lower the temperature.
"King Wu, your Majesty has invited you."
Outside the door, the shadow guard was talking to the inside. Long Chen stood up and said: "Forget it, stop looking, and prepare for the battle with all your strength."
Open the door and follow the shadow guard to the empress' room, where Ziyun and Miaoyin are sitting.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
"sit down."
Long Chen sat down and the Empress said: "The knight came to report that the ghost tribe will arrive at Yanmen Pass in two days. What are you going to do?"
It took two days to reach Yanmen Pass, which was about the same speed as Long Chen expected.
"The defenses are ready and this battle can be fought."
It is impossible to estimate whether the battle can be fought, whether Yanmen Pass can be defended, and how many casualties there will be.
"I heard that you are setting up a formation to worship heaven at the pass. What are you doing?"
When the empress asked about the chimney, Long Chen smiled and said, "That's what I say to outsiders. It's useless to sacrifice to the sky. You have to rely on yourself."
Sure enough, Long Chen was not offering sacrifices to heaven.
Master Ziyun asked: "Then what are you doing?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "I'm praying for rain."
The empress frowned slightly and snorted: "How dare you tease me!"
The empress had participated in the rain praying ceremony, and it was not like this at all.
She felt that Long Chen was joking.
Long Chen said very seriously: "I am really praying for rain. If it rains and the dark clouds in the sky disperse, the ghost tribe will live in a dark place like the ice field. When the scorching sun comes out, I think those ghost tribe will be bruised and bruised.
"
The owner of Miaoyin nodded and said: "You are right, that's what it is, but you build a chimney and it rains?"
Long Chen said: "The clouds in the sky are water vapor. Clouds need to condense into rain to turn into rain. Smoke is the condensed core."
The rain bombs of later generations were used to drive fine powder into the clouds to create a condensed core for the clouds.
Long Chen couldn't create rain-increasing bombs, so he could only use smoke.
"Clouds are water vapor? What are the condensed nuclei?"
The empress couldn't understand what Long Chen was talking about at all.
"No need to ask, Your Majesty. If it works, when the dark clouds dissipate, the ghosts will have no choice but to retreat."
Modern scientific knowledge is too complicated for the empress to understand, and Long Chen doesn’t want to explain it. .
"It's up to you. What do you think about the blood transfusion?"
The empress talked about improving her cultivation level.
Long Chen's face became a little solemn and he said: "The secret room is ready, and other things are also ready. We are just waiting for the Holy Lord's decision."
Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin looked at the empress. The empress nodded slowly and said, "I agree, just take the risk."
The empress agreed. Long Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready at midnight tonight."
When the yin energy is strong during the Zi period, it would be better to use ice cubes in the secret room.
"good."
The empress agreed, and Long Chen stood up and left.
"The Holy One has decided? Does it have to be this way?"
Master Ziyun sighed and looked at the empress unbearably.
The owner of Miaoyin said: "Is there really no other way? Do you want to see after the match?"
Whether you are an opponent or not can only be known after playing a game.
The empress decided to exchange blood now, but Miaoyin felt that it was too hasty.
The empress shook her head and said firmly: "No, if we are defeated on the battlefield, at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be killed. I cannot take this risk."
"My decision has been made. I said that if something goes wrong, you must keep Long Chen. Remember, this is related to the survival of the world."
If the blood exchange fails, the empress plans to protect Long Chen, which will give her a greater chance of winning.
That's true, but can Ziyun and Miaoyin be able to do it at that time?
The two of them were silent, and the empress smiled and said: "I am already old, Long Chen is still young, and I still need him to take care of my daughter."
Master Ziyun said: "Okay, remember."
Miaoyin stood up and said, "Let's go back and prepare."
The two got up and went out, returning to the room.
Pushing the door open and entering the house, the lights were on and Long Chen was sitting on the bed.
"Why are you here? Aren't you preparing for a blood transfusion?"
The owner of Miaoyin felt very surprised, why is Long Chen here?
