The inn where Cheng Hui stayed was where the ghost spies were. After Cheng Hui left, they continued to stay in Mazhen to monitor and investigate.
"How are the brothers? Has the King retreated to the Holy Realm?"
Cheng Hui asked the spy what was going on at Yanmen Pass, but the spy didn't answer and asked how Wu Sheng was doing.
"The commander is asking you something!"
The spies around him were dissatisfied and scolded him.
This spy is Cheng Hui's deputy, named Ma Long.
The spy quickly explained and said, "You deserve to die, I'm worried about the king and your brothers." ??
Cheng Hui heard something strange from the spy's rhetorical question.
"Didn't you hear that at Yanmen Pass?"
Cheng Hui stared at the spy and asked.
The spy was a little confused and said: "It is said that Long Chen and the Empress repelled the King and His Majesty, Li Chengdao was defeated by the Empress, and Princess Zhou led troops out to pursue him, but then came back unable to catch up."
"There is another one. Yu Wenkai led an army to raid the Holy Land. Long Chen led his troops to Yuncheng to support them. Only the empress led the army back to Yanmen Pass."
"A few days ago, the empress led another 30,000 elite soldiers to Yuncheng. Wu Jian and all the generals followed him. The current guarding general is Luo Qiwei."
Cheng Hui listened quietly, the confusion on his face becoming more serious.
Ma Long said from the side: "Yanmen Pass is actually empty. All the elites have gone to Yuncheng? And Yuwenkai raided the Holy Land? Wasn't the Holy Land destroyed? Didn't the Holy Clan army encounter Yuwenkai later? If they encountered
Yu Wenkai, Yue Lang and Yue Xi are dead."
The spy listened to Ma Long's muttering and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you meet Yu Wenkai?"
The spies thought that Cheng Hui and his group followed Wu Sheng back to the ice field and then turned back. Now it seems that is not the case. They did not return to the ice field.
Ma Long did not answer, but looked at Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui stared at the spy and said slowly: "We, the king was killed by Long Chen, and the queen as well."
The spy stared, unable to believe Cheng Hui's words.
"Your Majesty, how is it possible? Your Majesty is such a hero, how is it possible?"
The spies couldn't believe that Wu Sheng was actually dead? Killed by Long Chen? > "Didn't you get any news at Yanmen Pass?"
Cheng Hui asked the most critical question.
The spy shook his head and said, "Never heard of it!"
Cheng Hui asked again: "Isn't there any news about the death of the King and His Majesty in Yanmen Pass?"
The spy's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what Cheng Hui said, and asked: "Her Majesty the Queen is also dead? Did Long Chen kill her?"
At this time, Malone also realized that something was wrong and asked: "They didn't say it? That's not right. Why didn't they say something so important?"
Killing the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl means that the Ghost Clan has completely lost its leader and turned into a rabble.
If such things are said, the whole army will be inspired, and the people in the Central Plains will be inspired.
Cheng Hui had already guessed in his heart that Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl died, but not in Long Chen's hands.
They died in the hands of Li Chengdao, and it was Li Chengdao who did all this.
As for why, Cheng Hui also figured it out.
Kill the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, or in other words, devour the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl, and then replace them as the king of the Ghost Clan. Use the Ghost Clan army to counterattack, destroy Long Chen and the Empress, claim the throne again in the Central Plains, and restore the Liang Dynasty.
When Cheng Hui saw Wu Sheng's head in the grassland, he felt strange.
Long Chen killed the Martial Saint, why didn't he take the head away?
Such an important trophy, something that could prove that Wu Sheng died in battle, was actually left behind.
He suspected that Li Chengdao had plotted to kill Wu Sheng, but it was just a suspicion.
Now it's finally confirmed.
Ma Long and the spy looked at Cheng Hui, waiting for Cheng Hui to speak.
"Commander?"
Cheng Hui was silent for a long time, and Ma Long couldn't help but pat him.
Cheng Hui came back to his senses, looked at Ma Long, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Oh. Your Majesty, he, Long Chen, he.
There are so many tricks and tricks, I don’t know what conspiracy he is planning.”
"Since they are not here, let's stay here for now."
Cheng Hui felt upset. He had followed Wu Sheng for more than four hundred years, so he must have feelings in his heart.
Li Chengdao made a move and killed Wu Sheng, which made Cheng Hui feel very uncomfortable.
But in the current situation, we must follow Li Chengdao, otherwise we will all die.
Leave Yanmen Pass, leave Li Chengdao, and live in anonymity from now on?
"You all go and rest, I'm tired."
Cheng Hui said weakly, the spy left the room inexplicably, and Ma Long closed the door.
"Commander, won't you tell them about Li Chengdao?"
Malone was testing, and he also guessed some clues.
Cheng Hui shook his head and said, "Let's rest. We'll talk about it in two days."
After saying that, Cheng Hui fell on the bed without taking off his shoes, pulled up the quilt and covered his face and went to sleep.
.
Cloud City.
After the elite soldiers from Yanmen Pass entered the city, they began training soon.
All kinds of ordnance were successively delivered to the city, especially firearms.
Long Chen and Yu Wenkai were holding a map to discuss their plan of action after spring, when a shadow guard walked in from outside.
"King Wu, Your Majesty, please come over and discuss matters."
Long Chen put down the charcoal in his hand and followed the shadow guard to the palace.
Ziyun and Miaoyin were playing chess in the room, and the empress held a letter in her hand.
"Please read the letter from Li Xiqi, the governor of Jinsha City."
Long Chen received the letter, read it and said: "Not long ago, Li Xiqi wrote to Donna, complaining about the desolation and bitter cold of Jinsha City, saying that the soldiers' hearts were wandering and they wanted to change defenses."
"I wrote a letter to him at that time and severely reprimanded him, so I got this letter."
The empress didn't know about this, so she felt a little strange when she saw this letter.
When Long Chen said this, the empress knew why there was this letter.
"This Li Xiqi, I didn't let him participate in the ghost clan's war, how dare you It’s called hard work.”
"In my opinion, I will transfer him back and let them be the vanguard next year!"
The empress was very angry and felt that Li Xiqi had gone too far.
Long Chen said: "Let him stay in Jinsha City for the time being. I have been worried about the invasion of the Uzbek Congress. Pu Xuan has not come back, and we don't know the exact news."
Master Ziyun said: "To get to the Us Kingdom, you need to cross the desert. I heard that there are frequent sandstorms in the desert, and there are horse thieves. Maybe you have died a long time ago."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "It would be best if this were the case, but I don't think it's possible. I always feel that Pu Xuan is not dead."
"The Jinsha City side must be guarded, and no trouble can occur at this time."
The empress asked: "Is there any news from the ghost clan?"
Long Chen said: "There is no news about Feng He coming back yet, it will probably take some time."
The snow is still there now, and Feng He still has a long way to go from Yuncheng to Hera Pass.
The empress nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay."
Long Chen stood up and was about to leave. Miaoyin waved to Long Chen and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you want to play with your sister?"
Long Chen glanced at the empress and said: "There is still business, let's do it next time."
Miaoyin smiled and said, "Are you afraid that your mother-in-law will deal with you?"
Long Chen smiled without saying a word and exited the room.
.
ice fields.
The corpses of the dead ghosts were sunk to the bottom of the sea, the igloos were raised again, the main hall of the Moon Palace was built, and Yuexi lived in the Moon Palace.
It seems that Moon City is gradually coming back to life.
Messengers have been sent out, and the ghost tribes living nearby began to enter Moon City one after another, but not many.
When the ghost girl went to war, she was recruited once, and all the strong men went with her.
Those ghost soldiers who came back alive were unwilling to fight anymore. After receiving Yuexi's will, they stayed where they were and refused to settle in Yuecheng.
In the main hall, Yuexi sat on the throne, with two older men standing in front of her.
These two were clan elders nearby. After receiving the order, they arrived at the Moon Palace with dozens of ghost clansmen to meet Yuexi.
