The weapons Li Chengdao made secretly were transported to Shuohai City. Shuohai City was far away from the ice sheet. Li Chengdao had to travel across the entire grassland to get these weapons.
Yanmen Pass is located in the middle of the grassland. If Long Chen sends troops, he can intercept and kill him halfway.
"Why was Li Chengdao so stupid this time? If you leave from the Xixia border, you can reach the ice field very quickly, but he spent a lot of time transporting it to Shuohai City."
The empress found Li Chengdao's move unbelievable.
Long Chen said: "He was ready to kidnap the barbarians from Xixia. Xixia's border defense must be strengthened, and it will be difficult for him to get through."
"There are tens of thousands of weapons and armor, and the only way to travel by land is by horse-drawn carriage. The target is too big."
"Waterways are different. Few people would pay attention to waterway transportation. If we hadn't found out, Li Chengdao would have done it."
"It should be said that Li Chengdao is very smart. He seems to be walking, but in fact he is safer."
Unlike the empress, Long Chen felt that Li Chengdao was very smart.
Taking the water route is safer and more concealed.
As for the ice field being too far from Shuohai City, this is actually not a problem because the grassland is already empty and there are no barbarians to stop it.
"Can Li Chengdao know about the news that we captured Li Pu?"
The empress was worried that Li Chengdao would get the news in advance and Long Chen's interception plan would fail.
"I can't be sure, I guess there shouldn't be."
Long Chen guessed that Li Pu and others would not be able to get in touch with Li Chengdao. The mountain at the entrance to the ice field was 10,000 meters high, and a storm in the canyon could blow at any time, making it impossible for the letter eagle to fly into the ice field.
"If there is no way to know, Li Chengdao will go to Shuohai City to receive the ordnance as usual."
"It's autumn now, and winter will come soon. Li Chengdao should take action."
It takes several months to travel back and forth between Bingyuan and Shuohai City. If the ghost tribe plans to fight in winter, Li Chengdao must set off now.
Long Chen said: "I'm going to Shuohai City."
The empress looked at the trees outside. The leaves had begun to wither and turn yellow, and the wind was very cool.
"Donna wrote that Li Chengdao's cultivation may have reached his true state. What do you think?"
The empress did not talk about who went to Shuohai City, but talked about Li Chengdao's cultivation.
Donna Feiying sent a letter, reporting that Li Chengdao seriously injured Gan Xin and Mo Lin, and later reported that Long Chen judged that Li Chengdao had made a breakthrough in cultivation and entered the grassland alone to kill the ghost tribe.
Long Chen said: "Gan Xin, Mo Lin can't take one of Li Chengdao's moves. I guess his cultivation level is about the same."
"I guess Li Chengdao made a breakthrough in cultivation and mastered the secret technique of Xuanwu, Devouring. He ate Gui Fei and Qin Hao."
The empress asked: "What is the secret skill of Xuanwu Jue?"
If you practice Xuanwu Jue to the highest level, you can develop abnormal devouring secret skills. Not many people know about this.
Only people four hundred years ago knew about it, and neither the Empress nor Long Chen knew about it beforehand.
"I heard from Old General Yuwen that the Secret Devouring Skill can directly devour the essence and blood of others, which is different from cannibalism."
"Theoretically speaking, after being refined to devour, there is no upper limit to the cultivation level, as long as he can continue to devour people with high cultivation levels."
After Long Chen heard that Li Chengdao had accomplished Devouring, he guessed that Li Chengdao had killed Gui Fei and Qin Hao, and immediately went out of the city to hunt down the ghost tribe. This was not to simply kill the ghost soldiers for revenge, but to find the ghost general and let the ghost general bring a message back.
He wanted to use counterintuitive tactics to kill Li Chengdao to avoid future troubles.
But I didn't expect that after Yue Wei returned, she didn't tell the key point. The demon spirit didn't believe it, and the ghost girl didn't believe it either, so it didn't have any effect.
The empress frowned, feeling that things had become complicated.
"It's a pity that when we conquered Jinling, we failed to kill Li Chengdao. If we let the enemy in for a day, we will suffer eternal troubles."
Long Chen said: "The ghost body protected Li Chengdao back then and could not kill him."
It wasn't that Long Chen was soft-hearted, but that he couldn't be killed back then.
The ghost fetus at that time was still very strong, and Long Chen couldn't kill it easily.
The empress said: "Li Chengdao has improved his cultivation. You go to Shuohai City to intercept and kill him. What if something goes wrong?"
"Martial Saint and Ghost Girl are still in the ice field. If they make a sneak attack while you are away, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it alone."
Originally, the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl were evenly matched against Long Chen and the Empress, with Long Chen even able to take advantage.
Li Chengdao broke through his true state, and the balance of power moved towards the ghost clan.
"I used a countermeasure to see the effect. If it works, Li Chengdao will die."
Even if Li Chengdao breaks through his true state and develops the secret swallowing technique, and the martial saint and the ghost girl attack together, Li Chengdao will still die.
Of course, the best result is that Li Chengdao, Wu Sheng, and Ghost Girl fight for their lives, and both lose.
"If I don't go to Shuohai City, the privately made weapons will be in the hands of the ghost tribe, which will be very detrimental to us."
"Even if it is risky to go to Shuohai City, I must go."
That batch of ordnance must not fall into the hands of the Martial Saint.
Death soldiers and ghost soldiers are very powerful in combat. If they get weapons and armor, their combat effectiveness will be even stronger.
"Gan Xin, Mo Lin is injured, please take Ziyun and Miaoyin with you."
The empress was worried that Long Chen would go alone. Ziyun and Miaoyin had high cultivation levels, so it was appropriate for them to follow Long Chen.
"My mother-in-law is not afraid of my son-in-law and them..."
Long Chen suddenly became unserious, and the empress spat: "Don't think that I don't know, you and them have been hooking up for a long time, and they started when we were at Holy Snow Peak."
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I will rest for two days and then set off for Shuohai City."
The empress nodded slightly, and Long Chen retreated.
...
ice fields.
Yue Wei woke up in the igloo, the sky above her shoulders was empty, and the dry and cold air made her feel very familiar and at ease.
This is the ice field she is familiar with.
The shoulder was bandaged with gauze, and flesh began to grow on the fracture. She recovered quickly.
Struggling to get up, Yue Wei lowered her head and got out of the igloo.
When she got out, she almost fell.
Losing both hands, the body's sense of balance is problematic.
The ghost soldiers outside are practicing battle formation techniques.
The soldiers under Long Chen are well-trained and must be familiar with array coordination to fight against the Long Family Army.
Yue Wei was walking in the military camp, and the ghost soldiers who knew her stopped to say hello to her.
"Yuewei, what's wrong with your hand?"
Yue Wei sighed helplessly, turned around, lowered her head and silently returned to the igloo to lie down.
He became a useless person and felt very depressed.
A young man came in and sat down at the door.
This man's name is Yue Hao, and he has always liked Yue Wei.
Seeing Yue Hao, Yue Wei closed her eyes and didn't want to speak.
"I asked the priest and she said that the arm can be reattached. It's nothing. You don't have to be sad."
Yuehao saw that Yuewei was depressed and immediately comforted her.
"After we come out of the mountain, I will definitely avenge you and kill Long Chen."
Yue Hao was very angry when his sweetheart's arms were torn off.
Yue Wei ignored it, Yue Hao's cultivation level was not as good as Yue Wei's, how could he kill Long Chen like this.
However, she was very touched that Yuehao could come at this time.
"I'm leaving tomorrow and going with that Li Chengdao to receive some weapons..."
Yue Hao saw Yue Wei and said nothing, so he said his own thing.
"Go out? Are you going to follow Li Chengdao out? Didn't Li Chengdao kill..."
Yue Wei raised her head, wanting to say that Li Chengdao killed Gui Fei.
But thinking about what the priest said, all this may be just a trick by Long Chen, so Yue Wei won't say anything.
"Who did Li Chengdao kill?"
Yue Hao asked curiously, Yue Wei lay down again and said nothing.
"Wait until I come back, and I'll grab two women to replace your arms."
Yue Hao didn't need to go out. In order to change Yue Wei's arm, Yue Hao volunteered.
Yue Wei didn't say anything, and Yue Hao got up and went out.
