The shadow guard knocked hard on the door and shouted inside: "King Wu, please come over to discuss matters!"
The sounds in the room slowly stopped.
After a while, Long Chen opened the door and walked out. The shadow guard took a look inside and found that Master Ziyun was getting dressed.
"Your Majesty, there is something urgent. Please ask King Wu to come over and discuss it."
The shadow guard only glanced at it and immediately withdrew his gaze.
"good."
Long Chen quickly walked into the empress' room, followed by the shadow guard.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
"Sit down, Feng He has sent a letter, saying that the ghost army has been dispatched. Li Chengdao is leading tens of thousands of troops as the vanguard. It seems that the target is Yanmen Pass."
The empress handed over the letter from Feng He. Long Chen received the letter and after reading it, he said: "It's just as we expected. It's coming to Yanmen Pass. This Martial Saint wants to kill me so much?"
This is good news. Wu Sheng did not attack Yuncheng. Choosing Yanmen Pass is the best result.
The empress said: "Feng He said that the ghost tribe had no war horses, so he rushed here from the Hera Pass on foot."
Long Chen smiled and said: "The Hera Pass is too cold, and the war horses will freeze to death. This is not surprising."
"They can turn people into half-ghosts. Can they also turn war horses into half-ghosts?"
The empress said: "Ma Feizi provided war horses last time, but not this time. We still have enough time to prepare for defense."
Long Chen said: "Everything that can be prepared and should be prepared has been made. I hope they will come here as soon as possible."
Waiting is a long process and somewhat torturous.
For this battle, Yanmen Pass has made all preparations. The final decisive battle between the human race and the ghost race is here.
"It's time to finish!"
The empress is also very confident. This time the situation is different. She is no longer passively defending, but waiting for the ghosts to come and die.
"Is your new weapon reliable?"
The empress heard that Long Chen had tinkered with something new.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it is absolutely reliable."
The empress nodded slightly and said: "As long as you are reliable. Why do you smell like Ziyun?" ?”
Master Ziyun's rouge has a very special scent, with some spices unique to Zixiao Palace added to it, and the empress will know it as soon as she smells it.
"Ah? Oh, um. I just chatted with her for a while."
Long Chen couldn't say it directly, but actually the empress knew it well.
"It seems that your body has recovered."
The empress sneered coldly.
Some time ago, Long Chen bled to feed Storm Sword, and his body was very weak.
Master Ziyun is as strong as a tiger in her forties. She has the strength to take care of Master Ziyun, which means that her body has recovered.
"It's not what you think. We just talked for a while and warmed up together."
Long Chen explained symbolically to ease the awkward atmosphere.
The empress snorted coldly: "Warm yourself by the fire? It's cold here too, why don't you come to my place to warm yourself by the fire?"
Long Chen chuckled and said, "I'm here right now. If Your Majesty needs it, I can also chat."
The empress stared at Long Chen for a long time, then raised her foot and kicked him, and said: "Step back."
Long Chen exited the room with a smile.
.
Cloud City.
Donna walked up and down the north tower, keeping an eye on the situation in the north.
Feng He sent a letter saying that the target of the ghost tribe is Yanmen Pass and that Yuncheng is temporarily safe.
But Donna didn't dare to take it lightly. If the Martial Saint made a false shot and came straight towards Yuncheng, Yuncheng must know in advance and be prepared to start a war and retreat.
I rode a hundred miles north to conduct reconnaissance, and almost every two hours a snow eagle came back with a message.
If the ghost soldiers appear, Donna will know immediately.
"General Tang, Cheng Jin is back."
A soldier ran over from the west gate. When Donna heard that Cheng Jin was back, she rushed to the west gate and saw Cheng Jin and a dozen people riding horses outside the city.
The west city gate opened, Donna went down to the city, and Cheng Jin came in.
, the soldiers immediately sealed the door again.
"General Tang."
"Thank you for your hard work, General Cheng Jin. Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
The people traveling with Cheng Jin were the Long Family Army, not ordinary soldiers from Yuncheng.
It's extremely cold near Bingyu Mountain. Ordinary soldiers can't stand it and will freeze to death.
"It's very hard. It's very difficult to walk in heavy snow." .??.
Cheng Jin shook his head and sighed.
A dozen horses behind were dragging large bags, wearing thick riding clothes on their backs, and the bags were separated by cotton cloth.
The ice jade is so cold that even a war horse cannot bear it if it is pressed against its back.
"You dug so much back?"
Donna thought Cheng Jin only needed to dig out a few dozen kilograms, but she didn't expect so much.
"King Wu ordered me to dig more. Bingyu Mountain is so far away. Now that we are here, it would be right to dig more."
This was Long Chen's order, and Cheng Jin acted as ordered.
"Go back, brothers, take a good rest."
Donna and Cheng Jin drove their horses towards Yu Wenkai's yard. Halfway through, Cheng Jin realized that they were going to Yu Wenkai's residence.
"General Tang, why did you go to the courtyard of old General Yuwen?"
Cheng Jin felt that he should report to Long Chen first instead of going to Yu Wenkai's courtyard first.
"King Wu is in the old general's courtyard."
Donna couldn't openly say that Long Chen was not here, so she said this.
Cheng Jin nodded and said, "That's it."
The two quickly arrived at Yu Wenkai's residence and entered the courtyard. Donna sent the others out and closed the door. Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue walked out to see the situation.
"Cheng Jin, you are back."
Yang Hu was very happy to see him. Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Have you met General Yang, General Tan, are you here with King Wu?"
Yang Hu asked strangely: "Don't you know? The young general has returned to Yanmen to close the door."
Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment and looked back at Donna. He thought she was lying.
Donna immediately explained: "Cheng General, don’t get me wrong, King Wu did return to Yanmen Pass. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the matter was not publicized to the outside world, so I said that."
"Feng He received news from the north that the ghost tribe has been dispatched. The direction of the army's attack is Yanmen Pass, so King Wu returned."
"King Wu also left a letter to General Cheng before he left. General Cheng will know it as soon as he reads it."
Donna kept the letter close to her body and immediately took it out to show Cheng Jin.
After reading the letter, Cheng Jin understood the whole story.
"Cheng Jin is back. How much ice jade did he dig? So much?"
Yu Wenkai came out and was very happy to see Bingyu on the horse.
"Old General, King Wu ordered me to hand this thing over to you, so please accept it."
In the letter, Long Chen asked Cheng Jin to obey Yu Wenkai's command in everything.
Yu Wenkai patted the ice jade bag and said with a smile: "Just in time, I'll go talk to that beast."
Donna said nervously: "Old General, you promised King Wu."
This means that Yu Wenkai should not be interested in the holy beast, and don't think about eating the holy beast.
"You don't need to tell me, I am not reincarnated as a starving ghost."
Yu Wenkai smiled, opened the courtyard door, and Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue drove two horses towards the ice cellar.
"General Tang, us."
Cheng Jin was worried that Yu Wenkai couldn't help it and wanted to eat the holy beast again, so he wanted to follow him to have a look.
Donna said in embarrassment: "I still have to patrol the city, you see."
Cheng Jin is not stupid and knows that Donna is playing tricks.
If Yu Wenkai really can't help but want to eat the sacred beast and the two sides start fighting again, Donna must be there to persuade him.
But Donna can't persuade her at all, and she will be held accountable when the time comes.
In this case, you might as well not go there to avoid getting into trouble.
"Oh, yes, I need to take a rest too, I'm so tired."
Cheng Jin smiled, carried the ice jade bag on his horse, and then returned to the house to rest.
Tang Na also guessed what Cheng Jin was thinking, and went back to patrol the city wall without questioning it.
