The empress was sweating profusely, panting constantly, and her body was trembling slightly.
"I didn't expect it to hurt so much. How did you endure it?"
Long Chen helped the empress lean on the pillow. Yingfeng heard the sound and immediately came in to help.
"It's different. I was in the Holy Snow Peak at that time. If I didn't break through to the real realm, there was only one way to die."
"Moreover, time was tight at that time, and there were only a few months."
Long Chen was also in pain at that time, and the feeling of blood and blood breaking through his pulse was similar to cramps and skin peeling, but in the face of death, his desire to live defeated the pain.
Yingfeng brought the clothes, and Long Chen stood up and exited the room.
After leaving the room, Long Chen went to the north of Linjiang City, where Gongsun Ming and Zhao Heng were commanding the navy for training.
In the dock next to it, craftsmen are building warships.
The cold wind blew across the river, and the warships passed through the thin white mist.
Gongsun Ming was standing on the top of the building ship, waving a flag in his hand, commanding the warship to advance and retreat.
When Zhao Heng saw Long Chen, he immediately came over to pay his respects.
"King Wu."
"How's it going? Are you still used to naval training?"
Zhao Heng was a little embarrassed and said: "Although King Wu made it very clear,... the general is really not very good at it."
Zhao Heng was a general in land warfare, and he could fight on foot or on horseback, but he was not used to fighting in water battles.
After calculating these times, I felt dizzy when I first got on the boat.
Long Chen calculated the time and said, "I'll find you someone who is familiar with water fighting. He should be here soon."
Just as he was talking, a soldier behind him came over and reported: "To report to King Wu, there is someone outside the city asking to see him. He calls himself Jin Luo and says he is an old friend of King Wu."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Come as soon as you say, just wait."
Long Chen immediately followed the soldiers to the outside of the city and saw Jin Luo leading a group of brothers at the door.
During the war, the defense was tight, and the soldiers would not let the soldiers pass without asking clearly what was going on.
"Lao Luo!"
Long Chen rushed forward. When Jin Luo saw Long Chen, he laughed and said: "Young General, oh no, he is King Wu now!"
Long Chen said happily: "We haven't seen each other for several years, and you haven't come to see me."
Jin Luo smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare. Your identity was kept secret before, how dare I find you."
Long Chen had always appeared in the name of Long Chengen before. Jin Luo had too many contacts and was afraid of exposing Long Chen's identity.
Now that Long Chen has revealed his identity and sent a letter to Jin Luo, he brought his brothers over.
Jin Luo did not sail over because the current was against the current and the northwest wind made sailing too difficult. Everyone came over on horseback.
"Long time no see, brothers!"
Long Chen smiled and greeted everyone.
These people have rough, dark skin and large soles. They are all veterans of the boat life.
"King Wu is welcome."
As the King of Martial, Long Chen spoke so politely, everyone was touched.
"I will take care of you brothers."
Long Chen pulled Jin Luo and the others into the banquet hall of the Linjiang City Commander's Mansion.
After walking in, Jin Luo looked around and sighed: "It's the same as before..."
Jin Luo came here when the Tatsuno family was still there.
Jin Luo was deeply moved when he returned to his hometown after many years.
Long Chen smiled and sighed: "Things have changed and people have changed. I won't talk about this today. I will have a drink with all the brothers."
Food and wine were immediately served, and everyone began to drink.
The empress changed her clothes in the room. After waiting for a long time, Long Chen didn't come in.
The empress was a little displeased. The empress' feelings for Long Chen were getting stronger and stronger, but Long Chen was becoming more and more distant from her.
"Where are the people?"
The empress frowned and asked.
Yingfeng immediately went out to look for someone. After a while, he reported back: "King Wu is entertaining a group of people."
The empress didn't know that Jin Luo was coming, so she asked: "Who is inviting you to the banquet?"
Yingfeng replied: "My name is Jin Luo. They are fishermen on the sea. They once assisted King Wu in pacifying the pirates. King Wu invited them to come over to train the navy."
The empress nodded slightly. The Great Zhou Dynasty lacked navy generals, so it was normal for Long Chen to find someone.
Di Luoxi and Li Xiannan are the most knowledgeable, but they are still far behind Nanliang.
The empress did not ask any more questions, but continued to practice behind closed doors.
That day, Long Chen and Jin Luo were extremely drunk.
The next day.
Jin Luo got up early in the morning, everyone was ready, and then Long Chen walked out of the room.
"The Major General's drinking has become worse."
Jin Luo laughed and joked.
Jin Luo often drank at sea, and Long Chen hardly drank in recent years, so he couldn't drink them.
"You are all wine jars, I can't compete with you."
Long Chen finished washing up, had breakfast, and took Jin Luo to the north riverside.
At this time, the north wind blew, causing big waves on the river, and the warships rocked.
Zhao Heng and Gongsun Ming came over to pay their respects. Long Chen introduced: "This is the guard, General Gongsun Ming, and this is the deputy general Zhao Heng."
Jin Luo and others paid their respects.
Long Chen introduced again: "This is Jin Luo, these are my brothers. I have fought with them before, and they know navy."
Gongsun Ming was overjoyed and said: "With you, I feel relieved. I am a landlubber. I really can't get a navy."
Zhao Heng also said: "Yes, the wind is blowing today and the waves on the river are too big."
A short and fat man behind Jin Luo smiled and said: "The wind and waves are quite strong. It is common for us to encounter waves of more than ten meters at sea."
This person is Jin Luo's deputy Tang Yi, who has been sailing for decades.
The others laughed heartily.
Compared to ocean waves, river waves are nothing.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, from today on, Jin Luo will be in charge of the navy. Jin Luo will be appointed as the commander of the Great Zhou Navy, Tang Yi will be the deputy commander, and the other official positions will be appointed by Jin Luo himself!"
Jin Luo laughed and said, "I will become a high official too!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Lao Luo, I leave the navy to you, you have to train an elite force for me!"
Jin Luo said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't expect to be such a big official, but Young General, I have agreed, let me take charge, they all have to listen to me, you are not allowed to interfere!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "No problem, they are all yours, I am only responsible for paying them!"
Jin Luo laughed loudly and said, "Okay, I'll take it!"
Leave the navy to Jin Luo, and Long Chen will ignore it.
It stands to reason that Long Chen should be in charge, and you can't just ignore it just because you find a suitable candidate. This is lazy politics.
It is a good thing to know how to use people, but problems may also occur. If you use them right, everyone will be happy, but if you use them wrong, everything will stop.
Li Longji is a typical example in history. In the early period, he appointed wise ministers such as Yao Chong and Song Jing, and the government flourished; in the later period, he appointed Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, and the government declined, triggering the Anshi Rebellion.
Therefore, when a leader cannot let things go, Long Chen has no choice but to do so. There are too many things to do and he simply cannot handle them. www.81zw.????m
Back in the city, Long Chen entered the empress' room.
The empress is changing clothes.
I had just finished practicing and my blood vessels were broken. I was covered in sweat and my clothes were soaked.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen turned around and left.
The empress heard the footsteps and was about to change the last item, but Long Chen left.
"You brat, can this be of any use?"
The empress cursed unhappily.
After changing her clothes, the empress sat on the couch and said, "Come in, I've changed!"
Long Chen heard the sound outside the door and then opened the door and came in.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen bowed before him in a polite manner.
The empress snorted and said coldly: "Why are you pretending? There is no one else, come here!"
Long Chen secretly thought something was wrong, Yingfeng was not here, and if the empress took the opportunity to have an attack, things would be difficult to handle.
"I'm afraid I'll eat you! I haven't turned into a ghost yet, so I won't suck your blood!"
Seeing Long Chen's hesitation, the empress became even more angry.
I don’t know why, but after practicing, I feel that my body has become younger and my personality has also become younger. I am as angry and jealous as a little girl.
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "The Holy One is joking, he is not a vampire, how can he suck blood."
After saying that, Long Chen sat down next to the empress.
"Tell me, no matter what, you won't come to see me!"
The empress' voice was filled with displeasure and resentment.
