Yu Fuguo immediately replied: "I just conducted a thorough investigation a few days ago and found no trace of Long Chen."
Guitai looked displeased and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I got the news that Long Chen's fellow is not in Linjiang City."
"Then, he must have gone somewhere..."
The ghost has laid a trap in Longxing Valley, waiting for Long Chen to get in.
It's been so long and there's no news at all.
Disappointed, Gui Tai suspected that Long Chen was causing trouble elsewhere.
He was very sure that Long Chen would never stay still, he must be holding back some bad water.
Yu Fuguo said: "Master, the empress is practicing in Linjiang City, Long Chen should not dare to leave."
Guitai suddenly said: "If Long Chen is not in Linjiang City, can I make a surprise attack and kill the empress?"
Yu Fuguo immediately said: "Master must not take risks. What if Long Chen just hides and sets a trap for master?"
Guitai laughed and said, "I think so too."
The last time the ghost passed through Linjiang City, he wanted to take action against the empress. Long Chen happened to return to the city from the Monkey Maze Pass.
Guitai felt that Long Chen was deliberately placing bait, so he did not plan to raid Linjiang City.
"After checking again, I feel like something is wrong. Long Chen must be up to something."
Yu Fuguo said: "Master, I conducted a thorough investigation of the Imperial City Department last time and found no clues."
"I think that if Long Chen takes action, he might be in the imperial army."
Guitai nodded and said, "Then check the Imperial Army!"
Yu Fuguo bowed and said, "I obey your order!"
Yu Fuguo slowly climbed out of the imperial study room.
When he got outside, he saw Zhong Gui passing by, and Yu Fuguo shouted coldly: "Zhong Gui!"
Zhong Gui stopped, looked at Yu Fuguo, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and said, "Yu Fuguo, what's the matter?"
Yu Fuguo said coldly: "How dare you call me by my name!"
Zhong Gui had long been unhappy with Yu Fuguo and said, "Yu Fuguo, don't forget your identity."
Zhong Gui sneered and said: "Identity? Our family is now a subordinate of the Holy Son. What kind of identity is there to be a eunuch like you?"
In the past, Zhong Gui and Li Chengdao had a closer relationship and were more favored.
Now that Li Chengdao is useless, Yu Fuguo will naturally step on his feet.
Zhong Gui sneered: "Aren't you?"
After saying that, Zhong Gui did not go to the East Palace and ignored Yu Fuguo.
Zhong Gui returned to the East Palace, and it was quiet inside.
The maids and eunuchs walked very carefully and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
Entering the room, Li Chengdao was still practicing.
No matter how hard Li Chengdao practiced, his cultivation was stuck at the peak of Emperor Zun.
"Did you quarrel with someone again?"
Zhong Gui came in with an angry look on his face, and Li Chengdao could see through it at a glance.
Zhong Gui felt a little aggrieved and said, "That dog slave from the Yufu Kingdom got pregnant just because of flattery, so he dared to act unscrupulously!"
Li Chengdao was at odds with Gui Fei, and Zhong Gui saw it.
Outside, Zhong Gui calls Gui Fei the Holy Son.
Behind closed doors, Zhong Gui said it was a ghost fetus.
Li Chengdao's face moved and he said: "People under the eaves must learn to hibernate and lower their heads. Don't get angry with them in the future."
After being completely humiliated, Li Chengdao's heart was dead. He didn't care about the attitude of his servants, nor did he care that his daughter was raped, his son was bled, and his concubines were raped and humiliated.
Practicing in the dark and cold hell, waiting for the opportunity to come forward.
"Slave understands!"
Zhong Gui reluctantly agreed.
Li Chengdao continued to practice with his eyes closed.
...
Linjiang City.
Yingfeng took a secret report and entered the empress's room. The stove was burning inside and the temperature was a bit high.
Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin were sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing together with the empress.
The three of them are not afraid of the cold, and burning the stove is just a habit.
After the Empress finished her work, Yingfeng walked over and handed over the secret report.
The empress quickly opened the secret report, read it, and said, "This guy finally got in."
Master Ziyun took the secret report and read it with Master Miaoyin.
"Is it dangerous if he sneaks in alone?"
Master Ziyun said worriedly.
The empress smiled and said: "There shouldn't be any danger. I don't know if there are any stunning beauties in Longxing Valley."
Everyone knows what the empress means.
When attacking Xixia, Long Chen sneaked into the palace, played with the queen and concubines of Xixia, and abducted two maids.
If there are stunning beauties in Longxing Valley, maybe Long Chen can kidnap a few of them.
"My brother is good at everything, but he is too perverted."
After hearing this, the owner of Miaoyin felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking about Long Chen hanging out with a beautiful woman outside, talking sweet words, and then getting into bed... Miao Yin wished she could castrate Long Chen.
The empress saw Miaoyin's jealous expression and said with a smile: "He is not lewd, and my sister has no chance."
The owner of Miaoyin said shyly: "Sister Empress knows how to tease me, but I am better than my sister. My sister can only watch, but I can secretly take a taste."
The empress has a special status. Long Chen must keep a distance. Miaoyin is different. Long Chen is still single now. As a big sister, she can seduce her.
The empress laughed and scolded: "I told you that you were a coward. You deceived my son-in-law and you dared to show off."
Miaoyin chuckled and said, "Sister Empress said it first."
Yingfeng felt a little awkward when hearing this. The empress and the three of them were too familiar with each other to say such a thing.
People at the top of power are not bound by morality, and the empress doesn't care if her son-in-law hangs out with her best friend.
Just as he was talking, a palace maid hurried in from outside the door and said: "Your Majesty, there are three Taoist priests outside the city who want to see you."
"They said they wanted to see King Wu for something, and it related to the ghost fetus."
The empress immediately stood up and asked, "What is the background of this Taoist priest?"
The palace maid replied: "I didn't say, I just said I came from Lihuo Island."
The empress looked at Master Ziyun and asked, "Have you heard of any Taoist priests from Lihuo Island?"
Master Ziyun shook her head slightly and said, "I haven't heard of it."
The owner of Miaoyin said: "You can't be a liar, right?"
Master Ziyun said: "I will go with the Holy Master. I will know at a glance whether he is a real Taoist priest."
Yingfeng immediately brought some clothes, and Ziyun and Miaoyin also changed their clothes and walked out together.
"Let the Taoist priest go to the side hall and King Wu will meet him there."
The empress ordered, and Yingfeng understood the meaning and immediately went out to take the people.
The empress sat in a side hall, surrounded by shadow guards inside and outside.
The empress is in the middle, Ziyun and Miaoyin are sitting on both sides, and the shadow guards are preparing their crossbows in the dark. If something goes wrong, they will kill them immediately.
Soon, Yingfeng came in with three people, one old, one young, one young, and three Taoist priests.
The three of them were wearing cotton-padded clothes that didn't fit well, and the clothes underneath could be seen to be very worn.
Especially when his face is tanned.
Clothes can be faked, but the complexion and skin on the body cannot be faked. It must be caused by years of wind and sun exposure.
These three Taoist priests are Taoist Priest Xuanzhen and his disciples Liang Yao and Xiao Taoist from Lihuo Island.
The little Taoist boy looked at the side hall curiously. The houses here were really big, completely different from the Fire Temple.
Taoist Priest Xuanzhen looked around and did not see Long Chen. He only saw a majestic and beautiful woman sitting in the middle.
Taoist priest Xuanzhen guessed that this person should be the empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
"Xuanzhen, a poor Taoist from Lihuo Island, has met the empress."
Taoist priest Xuanzhen bowed, and Liang Yao followed suit.
The empress nodded slightly and said: "No courtesy." Bayi Chinese website
Xuanzhen stood still, and the empress asked: "Where is Taoist Priest Xuanzhen's Lihuo Island? I have never heard of it."
