The empress asked Long Chen whether he was healthy enough to marry four princesses.
Long Chen was very honest and promised that the four princesses would get the rain and dew equally, and that the empress would have a full family of children and grandchildren.
The empress was stunned when she heard this. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and cursed angrily: "You brat, who asked you this!"
Long Chen didn't understand and asked instead: "Then what does the Holy One mean?"
The empress was left speechless by the question and could only stare angrily.
At this time, Long Chen also felt that what he said was not appropriate, and said with a smile: "The Holy One is asking questions, and I don't dare to hide it, so I just tell the truth. Your Majesty, please calm down."
The empress glared angrily, Long Chen stood up with a smile, picked up the teapot on the stove, and poured the empress a cup of tea.
"Please have some tea, Your Majesty, and don't get angry."
Long Chen sat down with a smile. The empress took a sip of tea and glanced at Long Chen. She didn't know what she was thinking.
"Weichen is a mediocre person. He just speaks honestly and answers whatever the Lord asks."
"My words just now were inappropriate, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The empress snorted coldly: "Honest? Are you honest? You pretended to be a eunuch when you entered the palace. How many people in the palace have you ruined?"
The empress knew what happened back then. Long Chen was a fake eunuch. The empress knew it better than anyone else.
To single it out now is just a joke.
"The Holy One thinks it's not feasible for four princesses to marry minor ministers, so what does the Holy One think? It can't be... The Holy One himself, right?"
Long Chen said in a joking tone, waiting for the empress to get angry.
The strange thing is that the empress did not get angry, but said with a hint of jealousy: "I am an old man, how can your majestic King Wu like me?"
If the empress gets angry, Long Chen can still skin her.
When the empress said this, Long Chen found it hard to answer.
"Why don't you talk anymore? Didn't you like to flirt with me before?"
Long Chen didn't speak. The empress felt very disappointed and felt that she might really be old.
"I was young and ignorant. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything he shouldn't have said to the empress.
"What you said...maybe you can give it a try, but I don't know if it will be useful."
The empress stopped joking with Long Chen and got back to business.
If your cultivation level cannot be improved, it will be very troublesome.
According to Yu Wenkai's estimate, Wu Sheng should have at least 80,000 troops under his command. Ghost Girl can gather about 50,000 troops, which is already more than the Great Zhou.
If the general is defeated, the defeat of this war is certain.
"But the second princess is still in the capital. It's too far away from here. By the time she comes, I'm afraid she will be..."
The capital was too far away from the main camp, and it would take more than half a month to ride a fast horse. When Emperor Xing arrived at night, the day lilies were already cold.

The tea cup in the empress's hand was crushed, she stood up suddenly and said angrily: "When did you ruin Yu Wei?"
Long Chen was stunned for a moment and then realized that there was something wrong with what he said.
The empress said to let Long Chen give it a try. The eldest princess and the second princess would also come and marry Long Chen.
But Long Chen said that the second princess, Di Xing, was too far away to come late and was afraid that she would not have enough time.
This is tantamount to admitting that he and Di Yuwei are already having an affair.
"No...no."
Long Chen hurriedly denied it, but the empress stepped forward, pushed Long Chen down, grabbed his collar, and said angrily: "How dare you deceive me! When did you tell the truth!"
Long Chen knew that sophistry was useless, so he simply admitted it and said: "Holy Master Mingjian, it was not me who deceived Yu Wei, but Yu Wei who deceived me that day..."
The empress was so angry that she almost exploded. She raised her legs and sat Long Chen under her, and said angrily: "Yu Wei lied to you, that's nonsense. How could Yu Wei lie to you? You must have lied to Yu Wei, and you still don't admit it. You...
You damn eunuch, dare not admit it if you do it!"
Long Chen said very seriously: "Holy Master Mingjian, it is really the eldest princess who lied to me. He Ningxin knows about this, and she can testify."
At first, Di Yuwei pretended to be sick and tricked Long Chen into going to the East Palace to talk.
He Ningxin was an accomplice at that time and she knew the whole process.
The empress didn't care, she tore Long Chen's clothes apart, leaned down, put her nose against Long Chen's face, and said angrily: "If you lied, you lied. What excuse can you make? Don't you dare to admit it if you dare to do it!"
Long Chen said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have admitted that it was me who did it. I deceived Yu Wei's body. It's not right. It was Yu Wei who deceived me. It's also not right. We all did it voluntarily."
The empress confused Long Chen and almost took the blame.
"That's unreasonable! I'm going to castrate you!"
The empress stretched out her hand, and the knife hanging on the shelf flew over in the air. The empress drew the knife. Long Chen didn't know whether it was true or not, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down, castrate me, and your daughters will be widowed. They are all my women.
I can’t get married.”
There was a stabbing sound, the sharp blade fell, and his crotch was torn open, and Long Chen felt a chill.
"You're serious!"
Long Chen could even feel the coolness of the wind.
"snort!"
The empress suddenly stood up and returned to her seat.
Long Chen stood up carefully and saw that the blade was only a few centimeters away from his lifeblood.
"It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."
Long Chen slowly moved back a little, then unsheathed his sword.
"Scared me."
Long Chen nodded to check that there was nothing wrong, but couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The empress said coldly: "I am disrespectful to you, I will kill you!"
Long Chen looked up and found that the empress was still watching, so he immediately straightened his clothes.
I always feel that the empress is not angry, but jealous, but there is no evidence.
"As the king of a country, your Holy Majesty should not act impulsively. Just a little bit and I will be dead."
Long Chen was afraid for a while that the empress acted too recklessly.
"I will immediately send a message to the capital and ask Xingwan to come over."
The empress said with some disappointment.
Long Chen didn't answer, the empress was very emotionally unstable now.
"Why don't you speak? Are you mute?"
The empress looked at Long Chen displeased, and Long Chen smiled and said: "That's it, Martial Saint, the ghost girl has woken up, and I don't know when she will come out of the Hera Pass."
"We are no match for the Martial Saint and Ghost Girl. I suggest that we retreat temporarily and return to Yanmen Pass to hold on."
"There are strong defenses at Yanmen Pass. We can set up defenses and wait for the arrival of the second princess."
Martial Saint and Ghost Girl have high cultivation levels, and the number of ghost soldiers exceeds that of Long Chen. It is obviously unwise to fight here.
Return to Yanmen Pass, where there are fortifications and, most importantly, enough explosives.
When warriors are not as good as their opponents in cultivation, they must rely on weapons to make up the difference when fighting.
The musket battalion only brought muskets and some bombs, and the artillery did not follow.
Returning to Yanmen Pass, the situation can be greatly improved.
The most important thing is that when we return to Yanmen Pass, Emperor Xingwan will have almost arrived.
Long Chen can try that method to see if it works.
The empress nodded and said: "I am also thinking about this matter. It is unwise to start a war here. If the battle goes unfavorably, the entire army may be annihilated."
"Instruct the three armies to immediately prepare to move out and withdraw to Yanmen Pass."
Long Chen shouted: "Here comes someone!"
The shadow guard came in from outside, and the empress ordered: "Pass the order, everyone sets off and withdraws to Yanmen Pass."
The shadow guard immediately went out to deliver the order.
Long Chen said: "Old General Yuwen may not be willing to retreat, I will persuade him."
Others will not have a problem. Yu Wenkai only wants to fight Wu Sheng, so he may not be willing to retreat.
The empress nodded, and Long Chen immediately left and headed towards the Demon Dragon Camp.
