There are no masters in Jinling City, Long Chen can move freely, and Liu Lan can enter Liu Lan's private house whenever he wants.
When she saw Long Chen, Liu Lan was startled and opened her mouth to call someone. Long Chen stretched out his hand to strangle Liu Lan's throat and said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Liu, please don't say anything. If you dare to call out, you will be killed by someone."
Liu Lan was lifted up like a little chicken, unable to resist at all, so she could only nod her head in fear. Long Chen then slowly let go and put her down.
"Who are you and why...why are you here?"
Liu Lan coughed a few times and his body trembled slightly. He wanted to call someone, but the cultivation level of the person he brought was definitely not as good as the person in front of him. It would be worse if he shouted.
Long Chen pulled out his chair, sat down opposite Liu Lan, took out a token from his arms and put it on the table.
Liu Lan glanced at it and immediately recognized it as the token of Wu'an King Li Zhaoliang.
King Wu'an had a high status in the court, and he wore a very special token. On the front was a golden dragon, and on the back were nine pythons, so-called one dragon and nine pythons.
"Are you from King Wu'an?"
Liu Lan was taken aback and immediately began to think, had he been caught spying on Li Zhaoliang?
"Yes, I am from King Wu'an. I will discuss some important matters with Eunuch Liu tonight."
Long Chen's tone was calm and he didn't look nervous at all.
Liu Lan was secretly shocked: This man behaved calmly and calmly, he must be a master.
If you were an ordinary assassin, you would definitely be very nervous.
"I wonder what King Wu'an wants to tell our family?"
Liu Lan was very anxious. He hoped that people outside would find out, but he was also afraid that people outside would find out.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu, doesn't he know what the prince wants to discuss with you?"
Liu Lan had a lot of guesses in her mind. She really didn't know what Li Zhaoliang wanted to discuss.
Tell the people in the garrison to stop staring?
Or should we ask the people in the garrison office not to investigate the nursery rhymes?
"We are just eunuchs, how can we guess what the prince is thinking."
Long Chen smiled faintly and said: "Eunuch Liu is such a smart person, but he couldn't guess it, so I'll tell you straight away."
"Your Majesty wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and wants to invite Eunuch Liu to join the gang. Once the event is completed, he will be named a first-class eunuch!"
Long Chen made random promises, but they were all lies anyway, so don't worry about them after they are done.
Liu Lan's expression changed slightly. He had guessed that Li Zhaoliang wanted to proclaim himself emperor and rebel, so he was not surprised.
It's just a bit strange, why did you include him in the group?
"The prince really thinks highly of our family. We are just a eunuch. How can our family help with such a big matter?"
Seeking power and usurping the throne was a huge conspiracy. Liu Lan was very nervous and could not agree immediately.
Long Chen said: "Eunuch Liu is so humble. Today, Jinling City is in the hands of your father-in-law, so how can he not be able to help?"
"There are 10,000 forbidden troops and 8,000 Wuhou patrolling the city. Eunuch Liu has half of the country in his hands."
Liu Lan's face twitched a few times, and he forced out a smile and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. This patrolling Wuhou is not someone we can just transfer if we want. He also needs Eunuch Xiang's seal."
"Besides, it's still a question of whether the brothers from Wuhou Yamen are willing to join the gang."
This is not a shirk, Long Chen knows that Liu Lan does not have the final say on the patrol of Wuhou in the city.
Long Chen smiled and said: "My lord believes that Eunuch Liu has the ability to control Eunuch Wu, and they will listen to his orders."
Liu Lan is not the one who has the final say in patrolling the city, but Liu Lan is not an economical person and should be able to handle these matters.
Liu Lan smiled and did not continue to answer.
Long Chen said: "Eunuch Liu, you are also aware of the current situation. The ghost kidnapped the emperor and the ministers of the court. The front line has been repeatedly defeated, and all the elite troops in Daliang have been lost."
"In today's Daliang, the emperor has become a puppet, and the ministers are in danger. It seems that the country of 400 years will be lost."
"Your Majesty obeys the will of heaven and wants to extend the life of Daliang Jiangshan and the country, not to seek power and usurp the throne."
"Of course, this is just a matter of circumstance. As ministers, we also want to have the merit of following the dragon."
"Follow the prince and become emperor, and you will be rich and prosperous in the future. Is it possible that Eunuch Liu is willing to be stepped on by Xiang Ji for the rest of his life?"
Liu Lan shook his head and said: "You are right, but... the Holy Son's cultivation reaches the sky, the prince proclaims himself emperor in Jinling City, the Holy Son returns to Jinling, and we are all fans."
Liu Lan felt that the ghost fetus' cultivation level was too high, and even if Li Zhaoliang became emperor, he would be crushed in an instant.
When the time comes, Li Zhaoliang will inevitably die, so everyone who follows him will die.
Long Chen chuckled and said: "Eunuch Liu, Guitai's training is to scare us. He was seriously injured by Long Chen on the front line. During the battle in Linhu City, Guitai was beaten to the point of abandoning the army and running away. Don't you know this?"
"Now that Guitei has retreated to Qingren County, Long Chen is arranging his army to prepare for war. We will assist the prince in Jinling to proclaim himself emperor. By then, Guitei will be attacked from both sides and will have no time to look back. We will have nothing to worry about."
Liu Lan immediately said: "The Holy Son is defeated, Long Chen's army will definitely arrive, and we still cannot escape death."
Liu Lan's worries were the same as Li Zhaoliang's, feeling that doing so would be a dead end.
Long Chen immediately said: "My father-in-law is right, if Guitei is defeated, Long Chen will definitely attack Daliang."
"However, everyone in the world knows why Long Chen attacked Daliang. He wanted to avenge the Long Family Army."
"This hatred is only aimed at the emperor. After the prince ascends the throne, he can negotiate a truce with Long Chen. Only in this way can he have a chance to save Daliang."
Liu Lan shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Long Chen will never make peace. His hatred for Daliang is too deep. It's absolutely impossible."
Long Chen said: "It is not yet known whether peace will be negotiated, but if the emperor is the master of Daliang, Long Chen will definitely not negotiate for peace. Only then will Daliang be destroyed."
"Your Majesty has ascended the throne. If things go wrong, you can retreat to the old capital. The founding of Daliang is also due to the ancestors of the Long family. Does it mean that Long Chen doesn't miss the old feelings at all?"
Liu Lan remained silent. What Long Chen said was specious, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
Long Chen continued: "Eunuch, let's be honest, even if Long Chen insists on destroying Daliang, if we assist the prince in proclaiming the emperor, it can be regarded as subverting the emperor's power. We can finally get some credit, right?"
"Then after Long Chen captures Jinling, even if he doesn't give us any benefits, he still has to spare our lives, right?"
At this moment, Liu Lan was a little moved.
The front line was poorly occupied, and Liu Lan and others felt that Daliang was about to be destroyed.
At this time, it is really important to find a way out for yourself.
If Long Chen is willing to reconcile, he can follow Li Zhaoliang and become a first-class eunuch.
If Long Chen doesn't want to, he can still take the credit or even ask for credit from Long Chen.
Liu Lan said: "Actually, our family also knows that King Wu'an is planning this matter, as well as Huairen, who contacts ministers everywhere."
"We would like to ask, how many people have joined the gang now?"
Liu Lan wanted to find out how many people were involved, so he didn't want to be the only one on the boat in the end.
Long Chen took out a booklet from his arms and put it on the table, and said, "Father-in-law, just read it yourself."
Liu Lan opened the booklet, and the names of the ministers who joined the group were written on it.
This booklet was made by Long Chen. On it were the names of ministers. In addition to the people Huairen had already won over, Long Chen deliberately added a few important people.
For example, Zhou Yuanlong, the former Minister of Household Affairs, and He Lisong, the former state minister.
Seeing these names, Liu Lan was surprised and said: "They also support the prince?"
