Long Chen made rumors about destroying Xixia, but in the end there was no movement, leaving Shi Le confused.
While visiting the palace in Panhe, Ma Fang's casual words reminded Shi Le.
Perhaps Long Chen was still a eunuch, and there was no such thing as a conferred marriage at all. These were all plots discussed between the empress and Long Chen.
After recognizing this, Shi Le decided not to waste time with Long Chen.
He spent a lot of money from copying the Tianxiahui, and Shi Le felt that he was short of money and wanted to save some money.
"What the king said is reasonable. The poor monk can just ask the monks and soldiers of Zhenguo Temple to strengthen their guard, and no longer use the surrounding people."
Monk Deshan was very afraid of Long Chen. When he heard the news that Xixia was going to be destroyed, Deshan recruited people from hundreds of miles around to Zhenguo Temple to build a fortress wall.
It was a cold and snowy day, and the people complained a lot.
"Okay, let the soldiers come in so that I can see them all."
Shi Le rarely went to Zhenguo Temple, so now that he is here, he would like to express his condolences.
Deshan immediately arranged for the senior monks in the temple and the officers of the monk army to come in, and Shi Le comforted them one by one.
That night, Shi Le stayed at Zhenguo Temple.
On the second day, Kong Ji returned to Zhaoti Temple first, Shi Le visited Zhenguo Temple again, and returned to Panhe Palace on the third day.
Only monk Deshan and monk soldiers are left in Zhenguo Temple.
....
Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Capital, Linglong Pavilion.
Long Chen was packing things in the room, and the three muskets forged by Wang Juan were placed in the box.
It's half a foot long, has an agarwood stock, and a special barrel. It looks very delicate.
Wang Juan worked very hard for Long Chen and made three muskets herself.
Gongsun Linglong walked in and asked, "Are you just leaving?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "What? You can't bear to leave me?"
Gongsun Linglong snorted and said, "Who can't bear to leave you? I wish you could leave."
Long Chen hugged Gongsun Linglong and said with a smile: "Can you sleep without me at night?"
Gongsun Linglong curled her lips and said: "I still have the princess. It's very comfortable for the two of us to sleep. We can sleep peacefully all night."
"Someone came to the room and moved around all night, making it difficult to sleep at all."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You are really too much. I will lie there at night without moving. Do you two agree?"
"If I lie still, will you two start moving on your own?"
Gongsun Linglong bit her lip and said angrily: "You say these things again, I will ignore you from now on."
Long Chen smiled and said, "You said it first."
Gongsun Linglong turned around and wanted to leave, but Long Chen said with a smile: "You continue training, I will return to the capital to discuss countermeasures with the Holy Master."
"When the strategy for advancing the army is formulated, you and I will meet at Jade Buddha Pass."
Gongsun Linglong snorted coldly and went out angrily.
When Long Chen packed up his things, it was already dark outside.
Long Chen took his things, put on his cloak, and walked through the snow towards the capital.
Winter has passed, the snow is still there, and the weather is still very cold.
A cold moon in the sky shines on the snow on the ground, reflecting the cold light.
Long Chen walked slowly. A journey of more than ten miles was not too far for him.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw a horse galloping in front of me.
Da da da...
People were coming very quickly, and I was a bit panicked and didn't choose the right path.
Long Chen felt very strange, why was he walking around at night?
In ancient times, there were no street lights, so one would not ride a horse in the wild at night.
Even if you ride a horse, you will still walk slowly with a lantern.
The horse soon arrived nearby, and through the moonlight, Long Chen saw a man lying on the horse's back, wearing black clothes.
To the east, several horses were galloping in pursuit.
One in front and one behind, the two sides are chasing each other.
"The enemy is chasing you?"
Long Chen felt strange.
"Quickly dismount and surrender!"
Several people behind shouted, and the man in front hunched over and leaned on the horse, running faster.
It's a thief!
Long Chen immediately made a judgment, picked up a stone, and shot it at the man who was running towards him.
The stone hit the man on horseback accurately.
"ah!"
With a scream, the man fell off his horse.
Several horses behind him caught up, and the man on the horse jumped down and captured the man.
After lighting the torch, Long Chen hid in the distance and saw clearly the people who were chasing him.
It was Qi Wenhai and Guan Yue.
"Run, you run!"
“Grandma, you’re not afraid of death when you run a horse race at night!”
"Catch it back!"
After tying up the thief and leading the horse, Qi Wenhai and others got on the horse.
"Boss, something doesn't feel right. He seems to have been hit."
Guan Yue used the firelight to see that the thief's cheek was bleeding, and it didn't look like he was bruised by hitting the ground.
Qi Wenhai looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, who hit you?"
The thief cursed: "How do I know? If I knew, I would have killed him with a knife!"
"Who the hell is hiding in the dark and shooting cold arrows? If you have the guts to come out and fight your grandfather, what's the point of hiding in the dark?"
Qi Wenhai looked into the dark wilderness and found no one at all.
Long Chen had already left, and Qi Wenhai couldn't be found at all.
"I am arresting Qi Wenhai, a lieutenant in charge of the criminal department. Thank you so much for your help, martyr!"
Qi Wenhai couldn't find anyone, so he bowed his hands to the dark night and thanked him.
With the thief in custody, Qi Wenhai and others rushed back.
Long Chen took the things back to the capital, crossed the city wall, and returned to Prince Wu's Mansion.
When he arrived at the gate, Long Chen didn't bother to knock on the door and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
As soon as he landed, He Juntao rushed over with a knife and shouted: "There is an assassin!"
Long Chen quickly said: "It's me!"
The Xichang spies who were hiding in the dark rushed out immediately, and He Juntao immediately stopped: "One of our own!"
When the spies saw that it was Long Chen, they all went back to the dark place to hide.
"Master, why did you climb over the wall in the middle of the night? You almost got hurt by accident."
He Juntao felt a little embarrassed.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Those who go out secretly will naturally come back secretly."
"Help me get something."
Long Chen threw the things to He Juntao and walked back to the backyard.
Everyone had rested. Long Chen did not disturb the others and returned to the bedroom to take off his shoes.
He Juntao immediately brought hot water over, and Long Chen said, "Go ahead, I will do these chores myself."
He Juntao insisted on washing Long Chen's feet and said, "I am King Wu, how can I wash my own feet?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Isn't King Wu a human? When I was a eunuch, I had to wait on the princess to wash her feet. You go ahead."
He Juntao smiled and then exited the room.
In the past, I was actually very happy to help Di Luoxi, because I could wash up along the feet. It was like walking to a poor place and sitting and looking at the peach blossom garden.
After washing his feet, Long Chen changed his clothes and fell asleep.
I slept until dawn, and the door was gently pushed open and then closed again.
Xiang Ning crept into bed quietly, hugged Long Chen with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I was the first to notice that you were back, you have to reward me."
Xiang Ning learned from Su Yourong that Long Chen was not at home, and just now she learned from He Juntao that Long Chen was back.
While others didn't know, Xiang Ning got into bed and wanted to take the lead.
Long Chen had had enough sleep and was full of energy.
"Okay, reward you!"
The fragrance is as good as cream on the skin, Long Chen likes it very much.
It was very comfortable to hold her in the cold weather. He took off his bottom clothes, and Long Chen hugged Xiang Ning and started.
...
Half an hour later, Long Chen came out of the bedroom and walked into the secret room of the other courtyard.
In early spring, the weather is cold, and the secret room is also a bit cold.
Zhang Qian and the five people formed a circle with their legs crossed, with Long Chen's Dragon and Phoenix Heart Jue in the middle.
Long Chen sat down gently and meditated with them.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Tingting opened her eyes and woke up from trance.
"Husband, you are back."
Bai Tingting was surprised and wanted to get up, but her legs were crossed for too long and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Long Chen stepped forward to support Bai Tingting and said, "Slow down, don't get hurt."
