Chapter 537 Preparing for an appointment

 "One hundred thousand harnesses can't be made that quickly. It will take some time."

"Then we'll wait until your harness is ready before we set off."

Gongsun Linglong was dressed in a formal daughter's outfit. After talking to Long Chen, she chased Gongsun Yun.

Dignitaries and dignitaries arrived one after another, just waiting for the empress to arrive.

Outside the door, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. Yingfeng and Di Waner opened the way, followed by the imperial guards, holding the emperor's guard of honor, and the empress's horse arrived.

Behind the empress are three princesses, who are also wearing costumes today.

"The Holy One has arrived!"

Yingfeng and Di Waner shouted at the same time.

When the ministers and people in the palace heard this, they hurried to the gate to greet him.

Sun Yun, the Duke of Lao Zhuguo, stood at the front, Long Chen was behind him, the six ministers stood in sequence, and then the other chief officials.

"I respectfully welcome the Holy Master."

Everyone worshiped and danced.

The empress came out of the carriage, wearing a golden phoenix robe and a phoenix crown. She looked graceful and luxurious.

"Lao Zhuguo, please forgive me. I love you, please live in peace."

The empress looked at Longshuai's Mansion and said with a smile: "Today Longshuai's Mansion was completed. I have a new General's Mansion in Zhou Dynasty. I hope General Long can resist foreign enemies and expand territory for my Great Zhou."

Long Chen bowed and said, "I will certainly live up to the holy hope."

The empress nodded slightly and entered Long Shuai's Mansion with Sun Yun, the old Lord Zhuguo.

Di Luoxi, wearing a red palace dress, followed behind the empress, winked at Long Chen, and entered with a smile.

Everyone is here, and the banquet begins.

The empress sat at the upper table, accompanied by three princesses. Gongsun Yun and Long Chen were at the same table.

The banquet was lively and lively. Everyone toasted the Empress with wine, and then toasted Long Chen and Gongsun Yun. There were many people outside watching the fun, and they all envied Long Chen.

Xiang Ning and Zhang Qian shared a table. Looking at the banquet of more than a hundred tables, they exclaimed: "Your Excellency is really amazing. He has grown from a young eunuch to a great general in just a few years."

Zhang Qian said: "You probably don't know that there are many people vying to be eunuchs now. Not only us in Zhou Dynasty, but also Nanliang and Xixia, all want to copy your miracle."

Xiang Ning said disdainfully:
"I really thought that if I cut it off, I would be able to achieve great success, but I wasted my life in vain."

Dugu Jiali smiled and said, "Xiang Ning is so straightforward."

The banquet lasted until sunset, when everyone dispersed one after another, and the empress returned to the palace with the three princesses.

Di Luoxi wanted to stay, but it was not convenient in front of all the ministers.

When Long Chen returned to the backyard, Zhang Qian and others drank too much and were fooling around in the room.

"Tear off her clothes and present her to the Lord tonight as a blessing."

Zhang Qian blushed, pointed at Dugu Jiali and laughed.

Dugu Jiali took off her coat and said with a smile: "Why is it me? Can't they do it?"

Bai Tingting lay drunk on the couch and said with a smile: "You have a strange smell, I like it the most."

Dugu Jiali smiled and scolded: "As for body fragrance, the two sisters also have perfume. Don't adults also like it very much?"

Xiang Ning didn't drink much, but her face turned red when she drank, and her skin was very red.

"Stop fighting, let's get together, you guys will be called the Xiangxiang trio."

Wu Chuchu laughed and scolded: "You are crazy, why are you dragging us sisters?"

Wu Xiangyun smiled and said: "That's right, her skin is as fragrant as cream. Let's clean her and give it to you."

Long Chen shook his head helplessly and left the room, letting them go their own way.

It was getting dark, and Long Chen thought that it was time for the embroiderer to arrive.

"Sir, there is a lady outside the door who has sent a greeting card and wishes you congratulations."

A maid in the front yard handed over a greeting card. She didn't understand. It was strange that she didn't come during the day and came at night.

Long Chen felt happy and opened the greeting card to read it. Sure enough, the embroiderer had arrived.

I quickly arrived at the door and saw the embroiderer's carriage. The driver was Hongmei.

"Let me wait."

Long Chen opened the car curtain, and the embroiderer was dressed in red inside.

"I only dare to come when others leave."

The embroiderer held Long Chen's hand and came out. When she came down, she pretended to stagger and bumped into Long Chen's arms.

"Oops, I bumped into you."

The embroiderer chuckled.

"It broke into my heart."

Long Chen put his arms around Xiu Niang's waist and walked inside. When he arrived at a courtyard at the back, Hongmei and two maids followed him in.

"Your Long Shuai Mansion is really big."

The embroiderer sat on Long Chen's lap and held Long Chen's neck.

There were wine and food in the room. Long Chen poured a glass of wine and fed it to Xiu Niang.

"I don't drink."

The embroiderer tilted her head and refused to drink.

"I see."

Long Chen took a sip, then pressed Xiu Niang on the couch and crossed over.

"how?"

“Fine wine.”

The embroiderer giggled.

Hongmei was waiting beside her, and two maids were outside the door.

Xiu Niang was lying in Long Chen's arms, her eyes were a little sad, she looked at Long Chen and sighed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Long Chen unbuttoned the outer skirt and saw the lining inside. It was made of silk and had very delicate embroidery, and a scent overflowed from it.

"Have you been feeling tired lately?"

The embroiderer hugged Long Chen's neck and kissed him with her red lips.

"Of course. Staying up late in your Xiuge Pavilion is the worst thing for your health."

Long Chen smiled.

Xiu Niang got up from her arms, faced Long Chen, and sighed faintly: "If you didn't stay up late, I would have poisoned you."

.

poison.

.

Long Chen felt that his brain had stagnated for a while, and looked at the embroiderer's resentful eyes, which didn't look like she was telling lies.

"Why?"

"Because someone bought your life for thirty thousand gold!"

"Thirty thousand gold, my life is quite valuable."
"A first-grade flying dragon general is worth the price."

Long Chen picked up the wine glass and took a sip, feeling a little sad in his heart.

I have met many assassins, and I have also seen beautiful assassins, such as Li Yunji who pretended to be Qingyuan.

But it was a brothel for fun, and there was no emotion at all.

The embroiderer is different. During these times when I spent time with the embroiderer, painted and learned tattoos, I developed feelings in my heart.

It is precisely because of feelings that one feels betrayed.

"A little sad."

Long Chen smiled.

The embroiderer looked gloomy and sighed: "I would be sad too, what if."

The two fell into silence, just sitting opposite each other.

Seeing that Xiu Niang was unwilling to take action, Hongmei next to her reminded: "Pavilion Master, take action. After receiving the order to attract wealth, you must kill Long Chengen!"

There is a pavilion master under Wanjin Tower, which is equivalent to the entrance of the hall. When the pavilion master receives the order from the main building to assassinate, it is the order to attract wealth.

"get out."

The embroiderer said coldly.

Hongmei knew something was wrong. She had discovered that Xiu Niang was in love, and advised her, "Pavilion Master, he is just a eunuch."

The embroiderer suddenly shouted sharply: "Get out!"

Hongmei had no choice but to exit the room and guard the door.

"Isn't it easier to kill me in Xiuge? Why come here?"

Long Chen poured another glass of wine and handed it to Xiu Niang.

The embroiderer took the wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"I gave you a slow poison because I was afraid you would find out."

"Moreover, my employer wants to burn down your Long Shuai Mansion, so I chose to do it here."

Long Chen poured himself a glass of wine and asked: "When was the poison administered?"

The embroiderer hugged Long Chen, touched the tattoo on his back, and said, "The pigment in the tattoo is poisonous, and I also used gold needles to disrupt your meridians and valves."

Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "So that's it, but I don't feel anything?"

I really don't feel anything at these times, except fatigue.
