Zou Kai opened his eyes, the sun shined through the window, and Long Chen was sitting next to him eating breakfast.
"adopted father"
Zou Kai slowly got up, feeling dizzy, as if he hadn't woken up.
"How did you sleep last night?"
Long Chen pointed to the bowl of noodles next to him.
Zou Kai sat down, held his forehead and said, "I don't know how well I slept."
Long Chen said: "You have to be alert when eating and sleeping outside. The thief next door sprayed poisonous smoke last night, and you were poisoned and fell into a coma."
Zou Kai said in surprise: "What about the adoptive father?"
Long Chen drank the soup base, shook his head and said: "Of course I will kill them!"
Zou Kai got up and opened the room next door. It was empty. The waiter was scolding his mother: "Straight mother-in-law, where is the person? I ate and slept for nothing all night, and the person is gone!"
Zou Kai saw that there was no blood on the ground and returned to the room in confusion.
"Father, didn't you see any signs of fighting?"
Long Chen said: "Eat it quickly and go back."
Zou Kai didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he ate the noodles in a hurry, went downstairs to pay the bill, and then walked back to the capital.
Zou Kai returned to the palace, while Long Chen entered the palace.
Entering Fengming Palace, I met Zhuang Ling'er.
"Commander Zhuang."
"Why are you kidding me?"
Zhuang Ling'er came over with a smile and asked, "Are you going to see the Holy One?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, are you there?"
Zhuang Ling'er said: "Yes, you can go in by yourself."
Long Chen went inside and Miaoyin was learning painting.
The palace was idle and boring, and Miaoyin found her own entertainment.
"The regent is here, meet with the regent."
Miaoyin smiled and put down the brush.
"Sister, you are hurting me and I want to punish you."
"Hey, if you want to punish me in the Holy Emperor's palace, how will you punish me?"
The empress heard the voice and came out, and said coldly: "No matter how big or small you are, you want to run wild on my bed?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "No, I was joking with my sister."
The empress snorted coldly: "Why are you calling me aunt? You are about to marry my daughter, and you are so unruly."
The maid served tea, and Long Chen sat down and said, "I stayed overnight outside the city last night, and happened to meet a group of thieves who wanted to use the Willow Leaf Gate to demonstrate against me."
"The leaders are Li Hongying and Tieshamen. Their goal is very clear, and their purpose is also very clear, which is to put pressure on the court to stop the detoxification order."
The empress sat down and said with a stern face: "How brave you are to openly oppose the imperial court."
Long Chen said: "I left dozens of them and let them go back to deliver the message. Within three months, they must go to Yuncheng to detoxify, and those who disobey the order will be destroyed!"
The empress nodded and said: "That should be the case. These desperate people will not obey orders."
Miaoyin said: "The people in the rivers and lakes are wandering. I'm afraid it will not be easy for the court to eliminate them."
If you have a good sect, you can find the mountain gate and rush in.
Those wandering people in the world have no fixed abodes and are scurrying around like rats, making them difficult to catch.
"It doesn't matter, kill the big ones first, and you can kill the small ones slowly."
Long Chen has plenty of time and patience.
These desperadoes can be used as training materials, or they can be rewarded. There is always a way to deal with them.
"You need to know the basics beforehand, and then you can follow the clues."
The empress agreed with Long Chen's approach, but only if she could find someone.
"I asked Feng He to investigate a long time ago. There are half-ghost sects and half-ghost people, and all of them are recorded."
Long Chen had already taken action.
The empress nodded and said: "No wonder Feng He never showed up after returning from the ice field. It turned out that he was doing something for you."
Miaoyin said with a smile: "You are always full of evil thoughts and schemes ahead."
Long Chen shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm scheming, it's that they don't cooperate."
"They also contributed to the war against the ghost clan. I am willing to give them a chance, but they don't want it themselves."
The empress said: "I am the emperor, and you are the regent. I must do things for the people of the world. If they threaten the people of the world, they must be eliminated."
"Let's do this. I will ask the Shadow Guards to cooperate with you in the thorough investigation and we must eradicate these desperadoes!"
Long Chen stood up and bowed: "Wei Chen accepts the order, Wei Chen retires."
Miaoyin chuckled and said, "Just leave? Don't you want to play for a while?"
Long Chen smiled, turned around and left Fengming Palace.
How can you play in front of the empress? The impact will be bad.
Back at the palace, Long Chen entered the secret room in the small courtyard. When he got downstairs, Long Yuan had already woken up.
"alright?"
"I didn't feel it before, but now I feel that this secret room is so cold."
Long Yuan smiled and tightened her thick clothes.
"What's the plan?"
"I want to walk around."
"Okay, go up there and change your clothes."
Back above, Long Yuan entered the bathroom, washed herself, and changed into new clothes.
Walking out of the yard and looking at the blue sky, Long Yuan felt that the sun was so dazzling.
"How long have I been down there?"
"Almost three years."
"Three years. How many more years can I live?"
In the past, she had a half-ghost body and didn't care about time and lifespan. Now that she has detoxified and become an ordinary person, Long Yuan began to feel that time and lifespan are very important.
"have no idea."
Long Chen couldn't answer this question, nor could he deceive Long Yuan.
"I am leaving."
Long Yuan smiled and walked out.
Long Chen picked up a prepared baggage and said, "Without money, where can you go?"
"This is your luggage, take it with you."
Long Yuan took it. Inside were gold coins, tokens, and a sacred wood sword.
Ordinary people couldn't hurt Long Yuan, only half-ghosts were in danger, so Long Chen gave her the Shenmu Sword.
"Thank you, little nephew."
Long Yuan smiled, left the palace with her luggage, and disappeared into the street.
"You're just going to let her go?"
Zhang Qian walked over and looked worriedly at the street.
"It doesn't matter, the ghost is dead and she has become an ordinary person, what else can she do?
"
Long Yuan's status was special, and it was hard for Long Chen to deal with her.
"Where were you last night?"
"Last night, I happened to encounter a group of thieves planning to attack Liuyemen. I went to Liuyemen." .??.
"Liu Yemen? Do you miss your cute little junior sister?"
"It's really not true. What kind of sect are they? They are unwilling to detoxify and want to destroy the Willow Leaf Sect as a demonstration."
"So arrogant? Don't they know Liu Hanyan is yours?"
"I know it. It's because I know it that I chose Willow Leaf Gate."
"court death!"
Zhang Qian didn't understand why anyone dared to target Long Chen.
"I have already reported to the Holy One that I will only give Jianghu three months. Anyone who does not come to Yuncheng will be killed without mercy!"
Zhang Qian said in surprise: "Are we going to go on a killing spree then?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Kill them, they only value their strength. Once they have killed enough, they will be honest."
Zhang Qian thinks it makes sense.
"I'll go out."
"You just came back and went out again? Who are you looking for?"
"It's not about finding a partner, it's about doing business."
"That's weird."
Long Chen left on horseback, and Zhang Qian returned to the backyard unhappily.
After walking through several streets, Long Chen entered a courtyard.
After knocking on the door and entering, Zakanon greeted him warmly: "Meet the Photographer King."
Long Chen walked into the bedroom, Belloya sat on the couch, and Zalisa stood beside him with her hands down to serve him.
"Met the regent."
They both stood up and saluted at the same time.
Long Chen sat down and Zakanon poured a cup of milk tea.
"Have you heard of Baheman?"
Long Chen asked directly.
Zalisa's expression moved slightly. Belloya glanced at Zalisa, nodded and said: "I know, Baheman is a fierce general of the Uth country."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Where are Xi Bin and Si Si?"
Belloya continued to nod and said: "I know, Xibin's archery skills were inherited by the sharp archer Crete, and he can control the wind. He is called Xibin the Wind Controller."
"The Sith is a charging general. His shield is black. No one can resist his shield. He is called the Black Shield Sith."
The information is correct, Pu Xuan, the old bald donkey, did not lie.
"I killed Xibin and Sisi, and I captured Ba and Man. They are in the capital."
Long Chen said lightly, picked up the milk tea and took a sip. It tasted good and the milk aroma was very rich.
"You killed them? How? Are they coming?"
Belloya was very surprised.
Long Chen said: "In Jinsha City, they led three thousand cavalry to raid Jinsha City. I killed them all, leaving Ba and Man behind."
Zha Lisha looked at Long Chen in astonishment. She knew that Long Chen was very powerful, but these powers were aimed at the Central Plains people and the ghost tribe.
Long Chen had never competed with a powerful country like Us, so they didn't know who was stronger.
Now, Long Chen said that by killing Xi Bin and Si Si, they could finally clearly calculate Long Chen's strength.
"Is it weird? They are just better than my soldiers in Dazhou."
Long Chen saw the two people looking very surprised and didn't understand.
What's so surprising about them?
"Only better than your soldiers?"
Zha Lisha's understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army was still based on Long Chen's destruction of Xixia.
The Zhou army at that time was powerful, but it was just like that. It had no advantage against the cavalry of the Us state.
"Yes, I came here today to ask you about news about the country of Uz."
Zalisa asked: "What does the regent want to know?"
Long Chen said: "All the news about the Us Kingdom, they dare to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will destroy them!"
Zarissa and Belloya were stunned.
Destroy the country of Uz?
How to destroy it? How to get across the desert?
"You want to destroy the country of Uz? What are you going to do?"
Zalisa asked immediately.
Long Chen looked at Zalisa and said, "You are the princess of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, and Belloya is your maid."
Zalisa and Belloya looked frightened. They thought they were hiding it well, but they didn't expect that they had been seen through.
"You know everything?"
Zalisa looked at Long Chen in shock.
"It's so obvious, how can you not see through it?"
"I'm asking you now, do you want to restore the country? If you do, tell the truth what you know."
Zha Lisha looked at Long Chen for a long time and asked: "But the country of Us is so far away from Great Zhou, what do you want to do?"
Long Chen was a little impatient and said, "Don't worry about what I do. I will definitely be able to do what I want to do."
"Tell me what you know. Do you want to restore the country?"
Zalisa said categorically: "I want to restore the country, I want to destroy the country of Uz, and I want to avenge my father, the king, and my mother."
Long Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's talk."
Belloya got up from the couch and stood aside. Zalisa sat on the couch. The master and servant returned to normal.
“Let’s start with us in the Crescent Moon Kingdom.”
Zalisa has completely mastered the language of the Central Plains, and there is no communication barrier. She slowly tells the story of the Crescent Kingdom.
It was getting dark soon in the winter, and Zakanon brought the food. After the three of them finished eating, they continued talking until late at night.
"We know this, but almost seven years have passed, and the Uzbek state is definitely stronger now."
"The fact that they have the troops to attack Zhou Dynasty means that they have no enemies in the Western Regions."
Zarissa was a little excited.
Long Chen gave her hope of returning to the country, but this hope was too slim.
"Seven years is not a long time, and there is still hope."
"It's getting late, I'll leave first."
Long Chen stood up, and Zalisa quickly followed and said, "Aren't you staying here for the night?"
Long Chen stopped, somewhat surprised.
In the past, Belloya pretended to be a princess and served Long Chen, but Zalisa always refused.
He actually volunteered himself tonight.
"good."
Long Chen entered the room, and Belloya followed Zalisa.
After closing the door, Zalisa opened her hands, and Belloya took off Zalisa's clothes one by one.
Long Chen slowly lay down, and Zalisa crawled over obediently.
