"I don't know, even the lower official, the Holy Master is waiting at Fengming Palace."
Di Waner was very envious and wanted to play like this.
Di Luoxi gave Long Chen a gentle push and said, "Go, it will definitely be a big deal for the Queen Mother to find you."
Long Chen arranged his clothes, took a piece of fruit, and followed Di Waner out of the West Palace.
After walking through several corridors, the snow outside has not melted yet and it is a bit cold.
Di Waner twisted her waist and walked in front, looking back at Long Chen behind her from the corner of her eye.
It can be seen that this Di Waner has something on her mind.
Long Chen took two steps forward, caught up with Di Waner, hugged her with one arm, and said with a smile: "Master Di, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Di Wan'er twisted her waist in resistance and said slightly angrily: "General Long, please respect yourself."
Long Chen pushed Di Wan'er against the wall and said with a tired smile: "I won't, what can you do."
Di Waner looked around anxiously and found no one. She blushed and said, "Let me go, I'm calling someone."
But I was thinking in my heart: Hurry up while there is no one around!
Long Chen picked up a fruit in his hand, held it in his mouth, and blocked Di Waner's mouth.
The fruit was put into Di Wan'er's mouth, Long Chen said with a smile: "Stop shouting now, right?"
Di Waner said angrily, "I hate it."
Long Chen hugged Di Waner and walked towards Fengming Palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Yingfeng from a distance, and Di Waner quickly broke away from Long Chen's hand.
"The Holy Spirit is waiting inside."
Yingfeng led Long Chen inside and turned around to see Di Waner eating something with a happy smile on her face.
"What did you eat?"
Yingfeng asked suspiciously in a low voice.
Long Chen pretended to be confused and asked: "What did we eat? What about us?"
Yingfeng thought about it, too. What does Di Wan'er's eating have to do with Long Chen?
When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the empress had a pile of scriptures placed on her desk and she was constantly flipping through them.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen bowed and bowed.
The empress was dressed very seriously today, with a golden phoenix robe and a golden phoenix hairpin on her head, and she was busy reading scriptures.
Long Chen carefully looked at the scriptures on the desk. They were all Buddhist scriptures, which were very similar to some of the scriptures he had read, but also different.
"Do you understand Buddhist scriptures?"
The empress put down the scripture and asked.
Long Chen thought for a while and said, "I know a little bit about it."
Long Chen was more familiar with Taoist classics. He only dabbled in Buddhist scriptures, so he couldn't say he understood them very well.
"That's mastery!"
The empress's eyes shone and she motioned for Long Chen to sit down next to her.
"Weichen really only knows a little bit."
Long Chen sat down and told the truth.
There are so many Buddhist classics, including Agama, Prajna, Lotus, Huayan... Long Chen is not a god, so he can't claim to be proficient in it.
"Stop being modest. If you say you don't understand, you know a little bit. If you say you know a little bit, you are proficient!"
Long Chen was shocked. It turned out that in the eyes of the empress, he was a god-like man...a eunuch?
"Let's see."
The empress handed a letter of credence to Long Chen.
"Next month, the Xixia Society will send a special envoy. In addition to handing over the credentials of the Xixia King, they also ask to debate Buddhism with us."
"This special envoy is a disciple of Monk Kongji. It is said that he is born with wisdom and is extremely intelligent. His Buddhist teachings and martial arts are among the best in Xixia."
"Such a formidable opponent, after much thought, I think you are the only one who can take on such a powerful opponent."
Long Chen opened the credentials and read it. It was a letter written by King Shi Le of Xixia. He said he congratulated the Zhou Dynasty on its growing national strength and hoped for a permanent alliance.
Of course, these are all nonsense.
News came from Xichang that Xixia and Nanliang had secretly formed an alliance to target the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Xixia sent a special envoy for two purposes:
The first is to explore the reality of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty fought several big battles in succession. Although they won every battle, there must have been some loss of national strength. They wanted to come and find out.
The second is to explore the reality of Long Chen.
In more than three years, he has grown from a young eunuch to a first-class flying dragon general, defeated Nanliang, and killed several powerful Martial Emperors. Xixia must want to understand such a sudden rise of a figure.
"Your Majesty has promoted a minor minister. There are many talents in the court. I am just a eunuch."
Long Chen felt secretly happy: Am I so awesome in the Empress' heart?
The empress smiled slightly and motioned for Yingfeng to go out.
Yingfeng exited the imperial study, leaving only Long Chen.
"There is no need to pretend in front of me. This Mojie is the proud disciple of Monk Kongji. It is said that he has broken through the realm of Emperor Wu in seclusion and is very powerful."
"This time we sent Mojie, not only to find out our true identity, but also to show off and demonstrate."
The empress lay in Long Chen's arms.
"So...did we finish talking about it?"
Long Chen asked tentatively.
The empress closed her eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "What do you think?"
Now that the serious business is done, the next step is the informal time.
Long Chen took off his golden robe, his black hair fell down, and untied his golden phoenix robe...
....
Come out of Fengming Palace.
When Yingfeng saw Long Chen's face beaming with joy, she asked curiously: "What did the Holy One say to you? Are you so happy?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "The Holy One said that Commander Long's Mansion has been completed. He will celebrate it with me in three days. She will come in person."
Long Shuai's Mansion has been working in a hurry. I heard that the general supervisor hired a group of very skilled craftsmen, and the construction speed was very fast.
"Congratulations on opening a government office!"
Yingfeng was also happy for Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled and hugged Yingfeng: "It's just that it will be inconvenient for us in the future."
Yingfeng quickly took away Long Chen's hand and said, "Tsk...Why don't you ignore the occasion?"
Long Chen chuckled and said, "Then I'll go to your yard?"
Yingfeng whispered: "I will be on duty today, and you will come tomorrow."
Long Chen left Fengming Palace with a smile and returned to Qiuxing Palace.
After closing the door, Long Chen just sat down when Feng He came in from the window.
After dusting off the snowflakes on his body, Feng He sat on the kang and sighed: "It's warm here, sir. I've been running outside all day and the cold makes me uncomfortable."
Feng He was from Nanliang. It was too cold in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and he was not used to it.
"How's the check going?"
Feng He poured himself a bowl of hot tea, drank most of it, and said, "There are several of Xiao Ling's men, and they have all been eliminated."
"But there is something very strange. I learned from them that Rushuang is controlled by Xiaoling, but Rushuang seems to be Nanliang's secret child."
Long Chen was confused and asked: "What does it mean that Ru Shuang is controlled by Xiao Ling, and Ru Shuang is Nanliang's secret son? Ru Shuang is a multi-faceted spy?"
Multi-faceted spies are very common, selling information on both sides and receiving benefits on both sides.
Feng He shook his head and said: "No, what I mean is that Rushuang was sent by Nanliang, but was controlled by Xiaoling."
Long Chen was surprised and asked: "Aren't Xiaoling and Rushuang the same group?"
Feng He shook his head and said: "Those subordinates don't know much. I can only infer this: Nanliang sent Rushuang to the capital to cause trouble, but was controlled by Xiaoling, and Xiaoling was a pawn of others."
Long Chen asked: "Who is the mastermind behind Xiao Ling? Isn't it the Flower Fairy?"
Feng He shook his head and said: "I can't answer this question, the clue is broken."
I didn't expect things to be so complicated, so there was something wrong with my original guess.
"Ignore this for now. Maybe there will be clues in the future. Where is the little girl selling flowers? Have you found out?"
