The secret guard replied: "The general guessed right. Long Chengen took the Yang Jing Stone refined by Lao Zhuguo and stayed in seclusion in the Holy Palace for three days. He was very weak when he came out. The fourth princess helped him back."
This secret guard is Jing Tianlie's newly promoted person in charge of Slaying the Dragon.
The meaning of this name is very obvious, it is to destroy Long Chen.
Jing Tianlie laughed loudly and said: "This Long Cheng'en, who was so smart but so stupid for a moment, actually used the Yang Jing Stone to seek a breakthrough, seeking his own death!"
After the great eunuch Cheng Wei took Yang Jingshi, his cultivation reached the peak of Emperor Wu for a time, but he bled to death three years later.
Taking yangite is equivalent to setting a date for your own death.
Long Chen ate the Yang Jing Stone. Although his cultivation level improved, his death date was also determined.
Jing Tianlie has nothing to worry about. Even if he cannot defeat Long Chen, he can hide in Xixia and Nanliang and wait for Long Chen to die.
"Go ahead and keep staring at Long Chengen."
Shou Long turned around and left the room, immediately returning to the capital.
Jing Tianlie sat on the top chair, feeling very happy.
"Jiang Lin!"
Jing Tianlie shouted, and Jiang Lin came in from outside.
"General."
"How's the recruitment going?"
Jing Tianlie has been expanding his troops. In the past, he was secretive and did not dare to make too big moves. Now he is recruiting semi-openly. Anyway, he has fallen out with the empress.
Jiang Lin replied: "It's very fast, and we have recruited a lot of good seedlings. Our food and salary are not enough."
Jing Tianlie said with a smile: "How can it not be enough? Li Chengdao promised that I would have enough food and salary, so he would ask the Nanliang special envoy for more, and save more."
Li Yuanying has left Jade Buddha Pass, but left a person from the Imperial City Department as a special envoy to contact him.
Sedum Lie not only wanted food and wages to support his troops, but also wanted a little more as a reserve.
Li Chengdao was very scheming, and Jing Tianlie was afraid that one day he would run out of food and food.
Jiang Lin said happily: "The last general will take orders."
....
Nanliang, Jinling.
In the imperial study, Xiao Yu'er presented a secret memorial. Li Chengdao opened it and read it, with a rare smile on his face.
"This Long Cheng'en is seeking his own death! It's true that the Empress, such a good eunuch, actually used it against Jing Tianlie."
In Li Chengdao's eyes, ministers like Long Chen are rare and should be put to good use instead of being used as pawns to deal with Jing Tianlie.
"What a waste of nature, what a waste of nature!"
Li Chengdao slapped the table and sighed.
Seeing that Li Chengdao was in a good mood, Xiao Yuer boldly asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to Long Chengen?"
Li Chengdao smiled and said: "The empress gave him Yang Jingshi to force him to break through the realm of Emperor Wu."
Xiao Yu'er said in surprise: "Isn't it a good thing to break through the Martial Emperor realm?"
Li Chengdao smiled and said: "You don't understand. The Yang Jing Stone forcibly condenses the true energy in the body and will drain the person dry. Long Chengen still has three years of life at most."
"The empress has brought my most serious trouble to a dead end, how wonderful it is!"
Li Chengdao thought of so many vicious tricks to get rid of Long Chen, and even sent his own daughter to be an assassin, but they all failed.
When I was at a loss, I didn't expect the empress to come to my aid.
The little fish man bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Emperor for getting rid of this serious trouble!"
Dong Dong Dong...
Outside the door, the eunuch Zhong Gui reported: "Your Majesty, the third prince wants to see you."
Xiao Yu'er bowed and disappeared into the room.
"Come in!"
Li Chengdao received the secret letter, and eunuch Zhong Gui opened the door and came in, followed by Li Yuanying.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Li Yuanying saw that Li Chengdao was in a good mood and guessed that news about Long Chen had arrived.
Li Yuanying also has spies in the capital. The news that Long Chen took Yang Jingshi has spread, so he naturally knows about it.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
It was a rare occasion for Li Chengdao to be pleasant and friendly.
Li Yuanying reported: "Jing Tianlie wrote a letter asking for more food and salary. My son did not dare to take matters into his own hands, so he came here to report to Emperor Ming."
With that said, he handed over the letter from the special envoy.
Li Chengdao looked at the list and said with a smile: "This Jingtianlie is a lion, give it to him, I will give him another 20%!"
Li Yuanying said in shock: "Father, Jing Tianlie has already asked for a lot, if he gives more..."
Jing Tianlie gave half more than what was actually needed, and Li Chengdao increased it by another 20%. This was too much.
Li Chengdao smiled and said: "The empress is willing to give up her capital, how can I be stingy? Give it! Give it right away!"
The empress wanted to eradicate Jing Tianlie at the expense of Long Chen, so Li Chengdao must be more generous.
Li Yuanying bowed and said: "My son, I obey your decree!"
After exiting the imperial study, Li Yuanying returned to the Imperial City Department. The head of the department, Xie An, came over and asked, "What did the superior say?"
Li Yuanying said in a low voice: "Father asked us to send it over at an extra 20%."
Xie An was surprised and said: "So much?"
Li Yuanying smiled sinisterly: "It would be better to have more. Do you know how to do it?"
Xie An nodded slightly and immediately went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to ask for weapons and food.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Long Chen was lying on the kang, while Fei Linai was stirring the ointment. Su Yourong turned her back to Long Chen, slowly pulled down her top, and took off the breastplate underneath and put it aside.
Long Chen felt happy when he saw Su Yourong taking off the breastplate and it popped out instantly.
After becoming a patient, these beauties in the harem took great care of Long Chen and would agree to any request.
In the past, Long Chen wanted to give him a push, but Su Yourong always refused and refused.
It's different now. As soon as Long Chen said he wasn't feeling well and needed a gentle push, Su Yourong immediately made an ointment to satisfy him.
"Auntie, the ointment is ready."
Fei Linai brought the ointment jar over.
Su Yourong used her fingers to draw out a puddle of ointment, put it on her palm and spread it evenly, then spread it on her body, then climbed onto the kang and said, "Sir, I'm starting to push you."
Long Chen pretended to be weak and said: "Thank you, aunt."
Su Yourong lay on the kang with both hands, slowly leaned over, and then began to push the ointment all over his body.
After pushing a jar of ointment for a full hour, Su Yourong was so tired that he was dripping with sweat.
"Thank you for your hard work, aunt."
Long Chen poured a cup of tea for Su Yourong and hugged Su Yourong.
Su Yourong resisted slightly, but still sat on Long Chen's lap, letting Long Chen do whatever he wanted.
Fei Linai packed her things and tidied the room carefully.
"Sir, is it almost done?"
Su Yourong was a little speechless, Long Chen couldn't stop playing every time.
"It's still early..."
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, it must be Bai Tingting returning from sword practice.
Only then did Long Chen let go of Su Yourong and put on their clothes.
The door opened and Bai Tingting came in and saw Su Yourong helping Long Chen get dressed.
"Acupuncture again today?"
Bai Tingting asked with some distress.
"Yes, I got acupuncture and it's much better."
Long Chen opened his eyes and told lies.
Su Yourong helped: "You still have congestion in your body, and it will be much better after acupuncture."
Fei Rina bowed her head and said nothing, but she said in her heart: These two people are really...
"Let's go to Nanda Camp with me to see how the new recruits are doing."
Long Chen put on his clothes and boots, and took Bai Tingting to the south camp.
