"No need, I have a place to stay. Aiqing's house will definitely be under surveillance. My presence here will be very detrimental to Aiqing."
Li Chengdao didn't want to live in a place that was unsafe.
On this trip to Jinling, Li Chengdao detoured to Xixia and followed the river down to Jinling.
Although no one was following him on the road, he did not dare to be careless.
Long Chen does things cunningly, and if Long Chen finds out, things will be very troublesome.
"The emperor is wise, but the ministers are not thoughtful."
Li Pu felt that it made sense and it was really inappropriate to stay here.
"Weichen will contact several other people immediately and make sure to do a good job."
Li Pu has already begun to think about how to implement it.
Li Chengdao said: "Be careful when doing things, especially keep it secret."
Li Pu bowed and said, "I understand, your Majesty, you can rest assured."
Li Chengdao took out a pack of dried meat from his body, which was made from the dried meat of ghost warriors.
"You have an old problem with rheumatism. This is fish meat obtained from the Holy Land. Eating it will prolong your life and all diseases will disappear. Take good care of your body. When I return to the country, you will have to worry about the affairs of the court."
Li Chengdao handed the dried meat to Li Pu. Li Pu took the dried meat and knelt down in emotion and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is so kind, but I will never repay you even if I die."
Li Chengdao helped Li Pu up and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this between the monarch and his ministers. I will leave first. I must be careful when doing things."
Li Pu wiped his tears, Li Chengdao put on his bamboo hat, Li Pu sent him to the front yard, and personally led the horse to send Li Chengdao out.
"Lord Li, please stay and Pindao will say goodbye."
Li Chengdao made a Taoist salute, and Li Pu returned the salute: "Taoist master, please go slowly and come here often when you have time."
Li Chengdao mounted his horse and slowly left the alley.
Li Pu returned to the room, and his wife Qian came in and asked: "Sir, what about that Taoist priest just now? Isn't he a charlatan?"
Li Pu looked angry and scolded: "As a woman, how can I allow you to talk too much! Get out!"
Qian was frightened. She just asked, but she didn't expect Li Pu to be so angry.
Qian hurriedly exited the room and closed the door.
Li Pu sat down and planned in his mind which people to contact, how to leave Jinling City in a legitimate manner, and how to establish a forging workshop.
Time is very tight, we must hurry up.
The rheumatism in his knees broke out again, and Li Pu grimaced in pain.
There was dried meat on the table. Li Pu thought for a while, picked up a piece of dried meat and chewed it slowly. He felt that the flavor was very unique.
After finishing one piece, Li Pu ate another piece.
After eating the dried meat, I feel that Qi and blood flow rapidly throughout my body, and the pain in my knees quickly disappears.
"Good stuff!"
Li Pu was surprised. He didn't expect this dried meat to be a panacea.
"Your Majesty has given you such a favor, but I will never be able to avenge you even if I die."
Li Pu was moved again.
After eating a few slices, Li Pu carefully hid the dried meat.
Seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, Li Pu changed his clothes and quietly led a horse out.
...
After Li Chengdao left on horseback, he went south to Wolong Valley.
This was originally where Li Chengdao spent his summer vacation and built a luxurious palace.
Now the place is overgrown with weeds, and pheasants and wild animals can be seen everywhere.
Li Chengdao walked on the deserted path and thought of the past again.
When he reached a palace where most of the palace had collapsed, Li Chengdao sat down, tied the horse to a tree, stretched the rope, and let it graze on its own.
Sitting down cross-legged, Li Chengdao meditated.
...
Li Pu contacted his former ministers in Jinling City and informed him of the news about Li Chengdao.
These old men from the former dynasty were very excited and immediately took people to Qingren County.
After digging out the treasure from Woniu Valley, they divided into two groups, one going to Yunqi City and the other going to Zhenna City.
The two groups of people quickly started forging weapons and armor.
Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan, who were stationed in Jinling, were busy growing food and had no time to pay attention to these things.
Time passed quickly.
...
Ice field, moon palace.
The martial saint is practicing in the secret room, and the demon spirits are recruiting ghost soldiers. Sixty thousand ghost soldiers have been recruited near Moon City.
Three months have passed and there is still no news from Guitai and Qin Hao.
The ghost girl was very worried and sent several groups of people into the grassland of Xixia to search, but no news came back.
The maid in the palace who helped deliver the news to the ghost fetus was even more anxious than the ghost girl.
She thought that when the ghost fetus came back, she would become a human master and a holy concubine.
Unexpectedly, the ghost fetus was gone forever, and her holy concubine was lost.
The ghost girl found the devil and asked her to send people out to search for him.
The demon spirit had a bad premonition that both Gui Fei and Qin Hao might be dead.
Of course, such words cannot be said.
"Yes, I will send someone to search for you immediately. Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Holy Son is so strong. He may be acting alone in the Central Plains. He wants to do something before returning to the Holy Land."
The devil tried his best to comfort the ghost girl, and the ghost girl also felt lucky, hoping that it would be just as the devil said.
"Yes, Wang'er has a strong temper. He may be fighting secretly with Long Chen."
"The little thief Long Chen is cunning. Wang'er is afraid that he will suffer a loss, so please send more people out."
The ghost girl became even more worried, and the devil said: "I obey the decree."
After exiting the Moon Palace, the demon spirit immediately sent another thirty people to leave the ice field and enter the Central Plains to search for the ghost fetus.
...
Yanmen Pass.
When the weather is at its hottest, the dark clouds in the sky disperse, and the north and south of the pass are lush and green.
Near Yanmen Pass is a military camp, and to the north are large areas of barbarians and cattle and sheep.
The training of the elite soldiers continued as usual. With the support of the ghost soldiers' meat and meat gardens, the training of the soldiers was very fast.
Linglong Pavilion sent new weapons and prepared them all for the army.
Feng He walked into Long Chen's room, where Long Chen was resting.
"Sir, the barbarians did not listen to the advice, and the herds went further and further away."
Feng He was very depressed. When the barbarians saw the ghost tribe, they backed away. The ghost tribe left, and the barbarians rushed out again. Some even returned to their own tribes.
"Can't Tuzhi control it?"
Long Chen frowned, if the ghost tribe rushed out from the Hera Pass, these barbarians would be dead.
"If he can't control it, what's the use of a Chanyu like him?"
Feng He despised Tu Zhi and felt that he could not even control his subordinates.
Long Chen asked: "How is the situation at Hera Pass?"
Feng He said: "There are ghost soldiers sneaking out. They are all heading towards Xixia. They seem to be looking for someone, maybe looking for the ghost fetus, Qin Hao."
"Don't worry, sir. All the ghost soldiers who slipped out will be killed. No one will be spared."
The Hera Pass was under Feng He's surveillance. As soon as the ghost soldiers sent by the ghost girl came out, Feng He immediately knew about it.
Long Chen asked Mo Lin and Gan Xin to wander north of Xixia and kill ghost soldiers when they encountered them.
This is also one of the reasons why the ghost girl cannot receive messages.
"There is no other way. We can't kill them. Keep an eye on the Hera Pass. When winter comes, they will be afraid."
It's useless for barbarians to reason, so just ignore them.
As long as you keep an eye on the Hera Pass, nothing will happen.
Feng He nodded and said, "Okay then, I have no choice anyway."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, you are not from the Central Plains. If you die, you will die. You will not live for your own sins."
"Nothing happened over there in Xixia, right?"
A few months ago, Li Chengdao robbed more than 5,000 people from Xixia and left, but Yu Wenkai and Tang Na could not catch up.
Long Chen was worried that Li Chengdao would cause trouble again.
Feng He said: "I didn't realize that the border has been very quiet recently, very quiet."
Long Chen tapped his fingers on the table and said: "That's not right, the ghost clan doesn't do anything? The ghost fetus is probably not dead, and Li Chengdao is not a peaceful person. The two of them are so quiet, which makes me uneasy.
"
After thinking for a while, Long Chen asked: "Is everything okay over there in Nanliang?"
