Ji Ba was caught, but Gui Fei didn't care. He just felt that the guards were too incompetent and didn't notice it at all.
"Send someone to find out what's going on with Gao Qinhu and Ji Zhang."
"Maybe we can't find the place... No, you send someone to check in and see if something happened."
Guitai was worried that Gao Qinhu and Li Chengdao would not be able to find a place, but something was wrong when he thought about it.
Because no one else knows about this place, Gao Qinhu definitely knows it.
The commander will go make arrangements immediately.
...
Yanmen Pass.
A gust of wind blew from the south. The empress turned back to look south and said with a little joy: "The south wind is coming."
Although the wind is still very cold, the direction of the wind has changed, which means that spring is coming, the ice and snow will melt soon, and winter is finally over.
The ghosts are afraid of heat and light, but the half-ghost warriors are not afraid. When the weather gets hotter and the ice and snow melt, they can leave Yanmen Pass and attack the ghosts proactively.
Miaoyin also felt the spring breeze and said, "I finally survived the winter."
Ziyun looked to the east and said, "Looking at the time, it's time to come back."
Of course Ziyun was talking about Long Chen. Considering the time it took to get back and forth, Long Chen should be back.
The empress mocked coldly: "Don't count his time. When he arrived at Holy Snow Peak, he met his old friends and entered Wenrou Township. It's unknown when he will come back."
The empress understood Long Chen well. Once he entered a woman's arms, it would be difficult to get out again.
I am happy here and don’t miss Shu.
Miaoyin smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, it's true that Long Chen is greedy for women, and he can clearly distinguish the severity."
"The war is tense now. He must put the overall situation first and will come back in time."
Miaoyin knew Long Chen's character. There were two different things between being lustful and being addicted to women. It was impossible for Long Chen to ignore the world just because of women.
Wu Jian came up from the city and worshiped: "Your Majesty."
The empress asked: "How is the training of soldiers and horses in each battalion?"
Wu Jian replied: "After a winter of training, almost all the Long Family Army have reached the realm of the Martial Emperor. The worst realm is the King's realm, which is almost the same as the bodyguards who are good at catching tigers."
"The cultivation level of the Anti-Level Army is even higher. All four hundred warriors have cultivated to the Martial Emperor realm. They are absolutely elite."
"Some of Nanliang's 10,000 soldiers and horses have entered the realm of the King of Martial Arts, but most have not. Only 40% of them have reached the King's level."
"The slowest ones are the barbarian warriors, and less than 20% have reached the level of king."
"General Luo's army has just started, and the soldiers' cultivation level is not improving quickly."
The empress asked Wu Jian to come over and ask about the training situation of the army.
Long Chen formulated a plan for elite troops. After a winter of training, the Long family army was in the best condition and reached the progress expected by Long Chen.
Other armies are not ideal, especially the barbarians, whose understanding is much worse.
Luo Qiwei's Beida camp had just arrived at Yanmen Pass, so the progress was understandably slow.
The purpose of Beidaying guarding the capital was to prevent Nanliang soldiers from causing trouble, and at the same time, it also served as a mobile force to prevent rebellions in Nanliang territory.
Now the Nanliang soldiers who went north went north, and those who went home returned home. The territory of Nanliang was also stable, and there was no need to garrison troops around the capital. The empress ordered Luo Qiwei to lead her troops north.
When they arrived at Yanmen Pass, the empress asked Luo Qiwei's troops to participate in the elite soldier plan.
Ordinary soldiers are of little use in battle.
"Why is the training progress of barbarian soldiers so poor?"
The empress was a little unhappy. She felt that Shi Jingxiang was not doing things well and did not want to reprimand her too much.
Master Ziyun said: "The barbarians are different from us. Most of their masters rely on brute force. If they are asked to practice their skills, the progress will definitely be slower."
The empress thought for a while and said: "Let Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai speed up the progress and increase the intensity of training; let Luo Qiwei also work harder. The Peking Camp is a private soldier and cannot fall behind!"
As for Shi Jingxiang, the empress waited for Long Chen to come back and asked Long Chen to discuss with Shi Jingxiang. It was hard for her to come forward and say anything.
Wu Jian bowed and said: "The last general takes orders!"
The empress looked at the military camp in the south for a while, and then went down with the wonderful sound of purple clouds.
east.
Long Chen rode a horse and slowly entered Yanmen Pass.
There was a headwind on the way out, and a north wind on the way back, so the boat went very fast.
When they arrived at Shuohai City, they changed horses and Long Chen ran all the way and returned to Yanmen Pass in a short time.
When Tang Heizi saw Long Chen, he galloped over happily and shouted: "My lord is finally back!"
After running for a long distance, and with Bai Xue and Bai Long in mind, Long Chen looked a little tired.
"I'm back. Is the situation at Yanmen Pass okay?"
Tang Heizi immediately reported: "Everything is fine, everything is normal, the ghost did not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack."
It would be best if there was no war. This was what Long Chen was worried about.
"Go back."
Long Chen took Tang Heizi back to Yanmen Pass, and the shadow guard immediately reported to the empress.
Long Chen dismounted and went straight to the empress' room without going back to his room to wash up.
"I just said you wouldn't come back for so long, but I didn't expect you to come back."
The empress stood up happily, and Miaoyin smiled and said: "I just said at the tower that it was time for you to come back."
Long Chen bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Seeing that Long Chen was dirty, his face was haggard, and his hair was a little messy, Ziyun asked distressedly: "How is the matter?"
Miaoyin poured a cup of tea and Long Chen drank it in one gulp.
"When I rushed to Holy Snow Peak, Gao Qinhu and the others had already arrived."
After Long Chen carefully explained what happened, the empress said happily: "Good kill, just kill him!"
No matter what, Gao Qinhu is a general under Wu Sheng. Even if he is half disabled, he is still a huge threat.
Long Chen killed Gao Qinhu and got rid of a big henchman.
"Is Bai Xue's cultivation level so high now?"
Miaoyin was very surprised when she heard that Bai Xue had defeated Gao Qinhu and captured Ji Zhang alive.
Ziyun was also surprised. When he was at Holy Snow Peak, Bai Xue's cultivation was very ordinary, not even comparable to that of a handyman disciple.
Later, under the arrangement of the sect master Yin Ling, Bai Xue ate, lived and slept with Long Chen, and her cultivation level began to skyrocket, and she could even fight with the protector.
But no matter how you put it, it is just the cultivation level of Emperor Zun.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xue also broke through to the true state and was able to repel Gao Qinhu and capture Ji Zhang alive.
"She was born with a half-ghost body, and her talents are different from ours."
Long Chen's face remained calm, and he seemed to have no disturbance in his heart.
Master Ziyun stared at Long Chen for a while, rolled her eyes, and drank slowly while holding a cup of tea.
"Just kill him. Ji Zhang is capricious and a disaster!"
The empress leaned back on the couch happily, her expression very relaxed.
Ever since Long Chen went to Holy Snow Peak, the empress has been worried about Long Chen's safety.
Now that she is back and she has brought good news, the empress is very happy.
"Okay, you go back and rest. It's been a hard journey."
The empress said happily.
This trip to Shengxue Peak is both a private matter and a public matter. Saving people is private, killing high-ranking officials and capturing tigers is a public matter.
"Wei Chen resigns."
Long Chen stood up and exited the room.
After they left, Miaoyin said: "Sister, I forgot something."
The empress smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten it."
From the beginning to the end, Long Chen never mentioned the existence of Bai Long, and the empress did not ask if Bai Xue had given birth to a child. This was a tacit understanding.
The empress would not ask about things that Long Chen didn't want to talk about.
