When Gongsun Linglong realized it, Long Chen had already returned to the capital.
The maid dismounted at the palace gate, and Long Chen continued riding to Fengming Palace.
In the dormitory, the empress was still talking to Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan.
"What's the big deal at these times?"
After talking about common things, the empress asked about the affairs of the court.
Emperor Xingwan said: "One of them, Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai both want to go to the north and ask their mother for permission."
The empress asked strangely: "Why are the two of them going to the north?"
Di Yuwei immediately said: "This is their request to Baili Bing. Long Chen agreed. He said that Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai just don't want to give up."
"Let them meet Li Chengdao and meet the ghost clan, and they will give up."
"Moreover, Long Chen didn't let them go by themselves. They must go north together with Long Chen."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Oh, that's fine. If the two of them give up, the generals under them will also give up completely."
"It would be best if we could bring them in. The soldiers in Nanliang need to be led by our generals, but they may not necessarily cooperate."
To deal with the ghost tribe, we can't just use soldiers from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Soldiers from the Southern Liang Dynasty must also participate in the battle.
But there is a problem. The soldiers of Nanliang are commanded by the generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so the effect may not be good.
The combat habits and command habits of the two sides are different, and the soldiers of Nanliang may not be convinced.
If Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai took over, the situation would be much better.
Long Chen probably had this consideration in mind, so he agreed to their request.
Emperor Xingwan said: "My sons thought so too. King Wu asked them to go with him, probably because he wanted to win over them."
Instigating rebellion and winning over others are Long Chen's specialty.
Killing is easy, buying is the hardest.
While the two were talking, Long Chen walked in from outside.
Seeing the empress and the two princesses together, Long Chen's eyes specifically stopped at Di Yuwei.
The empress's senses were very keen and she immediately realized something was wrong.
Of course, the empress didn't ask anything on the spot and just pretended not to see it.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
"The princess is here too."
Long Chen smiled and sat across from him.
The empress asked: "What are you doing in Linglong Pavilion?"
Long Chen said: "I went to find Linglong and asked her to make some necessary weapons to use against the ghost clan."
Of course, I took advantage of it.
The empress said: "I was just going to ask you. It's late autumn now. When are you going to Yanmen Pass?"
It snows earlier in the north. If Long Chen is not here and Gui Tai and Li Chengdao take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, Zhang Man will definitely not be able to stop them.
Long Chen said: "I'm waiting for Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai. As soon as they arrive, I will go north immediately." 81Zw.????m
The empress nodded and said, "I just heard that you want to win over the two of them to lead the Nanliang soldiers, right?"
Long Chen said: "Yes, it is more appropriate for the soldiers of Nanliang to be led by the generals of Nanliang. Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai are the Five Tiger Generals, and they will also obey."
"The generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had a sense of superiority when commanding the troops, and the soldiers might be disgusted."
In any case, Long Chen destroyed Nanliang. These soldiers are people who have subjugated their country and are very sensitive in their hearts.
If the general beats and scolds the soldiers, they may think of the country's subjugation.
It's different when it comes to Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai. They are their own people and can be beaten or scolded as they please.
"Okay, I will set off with you then."
When Long Chen goes north, the Empress must go with him.
If the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl wake up, Long Chen won't be able to deal with them alone.
Long Chen nodded and said: "I will make arrangements. The Long family army is almost rested."
While talking, Di Yuwei had been thinking about proposing marriage.
Long Chen had promised to propose marriage to the empress and asked Di Yuwei to marry him.
But Di Xingwan was present, and it was difficult for Di Yuwei to speak.
"Wei Chen resigns."
Long Chen noticed the slightly strange look in Di Yu's eyes and was worried that she would be embarrassed if she suddenly proposed a marriage.
After exiting the dormitory, Long Chen rode out of the palace and arrived at a house in the south of the city.
She dismounted in front of the door and knocked on the heavy door. A maid opened the door and saw Long Chen and said happily: "My lord is here."
When Long Chen entered, the maid led the horse.
When they heard the sound of the door opening in the courtyard, everyone came out to see what was going on.
A strong woman with a beard came out and said in surprise: "King Wu is here."
This woman is Lacanon.
"Is Princess Beloya okay?"
Long Chen asked with a smile.
Lakanon smiled and said, "They are all well. King Wu, please come with your servant."
Lacanon has become accustomed to the life of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and his words, deeds, and names are all the same.
Hearing the sound, two slim women from the Western Regions with amber eyes and brown hair came out. They were still wearing Western costumes.
Long Chen did not ask them to change their clothes. They wore clothes from the Western Regions, which made them look more Western-style.
"Meet King Wu."
Beloya, who calls herself the princess, is in front, and Zalisa is standing behind her.
Belloya is charming, Zalisa is noble, but their status and temperament are not compatible with each other.
"It's nothing that I'm not used to."
Long Chen held Belloya's hand and walked inside, with Zalissa following behind.
Entering the bedroom, there was a camel hair carpet inside, made from items from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Regions.
Long Chen gave them a lot of money, so they could buy things from the Western Regions.
Belloya replied: "Thank you King Wu for caring, we are all fine."
Belloya speaks Chinese very well and does not need to be translated by Lacanon.
Long Chen sat down and said, "Just get used to it, just sit down."
Belloya sat down and Zalissa stood behind him.
Long Chen glanced at Zalisa and said, "Is there any news about the Uz Kingdom recently?"
They often ask businessmen in the Western Region for news about the Us Kingdom, and they are more diligent than Long Chen, so they ask like this.
Belloya replied: "I heard that there is civil strife in Uz, and two princes and princesses are fighting for the throne. I don't know what the final result will be."
Long Chen asked curiously: "If there is a prince and a princess, can the princess still inherit?"
Belloya replied: "Yes, in the Western Regions, it is very common for princesses to succeed to the throne and become queens."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "There are some differences from us in the Central Plains."
In the Central Plains, if there is a prince and a princess, the prince must succeed to the throne.
Even if there is no prince, his brothers and nephews will succeed him, and it is impossible for a princess to become emperor.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, because the empress did not get married and had no prince, the princess succeeded to the throne.
Lakanon came in to make tea and poured two cups of tea. The one he brewed was black tea.
Long Chen took a sip, and Belloya also took a sip. She preferred milk tea, but she didn't like the water brewed from the leaves.
"I heard that a devil appeared in the north. Does King Wu want to go?"
Belloya took the initiative to ask questions for the first time.
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the ghost tribe has appeared in the north, and we Central Plains people are going to war with the ghost tribe."
Belloya asked: "What does the devil look like? Is it scary?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "They look... similar to us, but they are more powerful, faster, and have higher cultivation levels."
"Moreover, they like to drink human blood, and they can eat humans."
Speaking of cannibalism, Belloya and Zalisa were frightened at the same time.
"Isn't this a vampire?"
Zalissa standing behind said something.
Belloya nodded slightly and said, "It sounds similar."
Long Chen asked curiously: "Do you also have legends about devils there?"
This question is actually a bit redundant. There is something to fear everywhere, and this fearful thing will be called the devil.
People from the Western Regions are also human beings, and they also have their own fears, and of course there are demons in their eyes.
