After Linjiang City was built, Emperor Li Chengdao of Nanliang sent people to inquire about it. The mysterious thing like cement shocked Li Chengdao.
The spies lurking in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty sent information to Jinling City, saying that Long Chen had a great talent.
Li Chengdao had long heard that Long Chen defeated Yu Shinan in a literary battle, and his published "Wen Xin Diao Long" was regarded as a model by Nanliang literati.
It is said that such a person was once a member of the Long Family Army. Li Chengdao had trouble sleeping and eating, and ordered to find out the details of Long Chen.
The spy sent back the news that Long Chen was just Long Ye's bodyguard, nothing more.
Li Chengdao didn't believe that it was impossible for him not to know that such a talented person was in the Long family army.
Li Chengdao issued an imperial edict, and the spies of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were dispatched with all their strength. It happened that Long Chen was going to Hell Mountain to look at coal, so Chief Cao made a plan and kidnapped Long Chen in Hell Mountain.
Manager Cao walked over with a sneer, without any trace of old-fashionedness in his movements.
The cultivation level that Long Chen has always shown is that of an early warrior. Chief Cao also inquired carefully and knew that Long Chen's cultivation level was very poor.
"Be good and surrender, and you will suffer less."
"The Emperor has decreed that if you return to Nanliang anyway, you can be reused!"
Manager Cao spoke arrogantly, but in fact he was very careful.
The punch just now reminded Mr. Cao that no matter how weak the prey is, it will fight back with all its strength, and a lion must fight a rabbit with all its strength.
"Hmph, I and the Dog Emperor will fight until death!"
Master Cao stepped on the ground, and a stream of muddy water splashed out. Long Chen blocked it with his backhand. Master Cao had already reached in front of him and kicked him in the chest.
Long Chen did not hide, but stepped forward to meet the kick, stabbing his calf with the dagger in his hand.
Chief Cao realized something was wrong and quickly retreated.
"As expected of a member of the Long Family Army, he has the guts!"
Chief Cao picked up a wooden stick as a weapon and stabbed him with a long stride. Long Chen dodged sideways and stabbed Chief Cao's vital part with the dagger. Chief Cao dodged and punched Long Chen on the shoulder.
Bang!
Long Chen was knocked over by a punch and rolled several times on the ground, barely maintaining his body shape.
"You are so weak, how did you get along with the Long Family Army?"
Chief Cao walked over with a sinister smile, but his figure did not relax at all.
Obviously, he was just testing the waters and had no intention of relaxing at all.
Long Chen secretly scolded this old fox, Mr. Cao.
Chief Cao came over, and Long Chen suddenly grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at him. Chief Cao stretched out his hand to block it, and Long Chen took the opportunity to get on his horse and run wildly out.
Chief Cao didn't expect Long Chen to run away, so he immediately chased after him. Once Long Chen was allowed to run to a place with people, his plan failed.
"Don't leave!"
Chief Cao rode his horse to catch up, but Long Chen's dismounted horse fell to the ground before running very far. Long Chen hit his head in the mud and was stained black all over.
"Grass!"
Long Chen cursed and the horse was also poisoned.
The two horses were chosen by Chief Cao. It is normal for them to be poisoned. If I had known this, I should have snatched Chief Cao's horses just now.
Chief Cao caught up and stabbed Long Chen's thigh with the wooden stick in his hand.
He wanted to catch them alive.
Long Chen rolled a few times in the muddy water, got up and ran up the mountain.
Master Cao was chasing after him on horseback, but his horse's hooves got stuck in the mud and he couldn't move forward. Master Cao ran away from Long Chen, so he jumped down to chase him.
Long Chen climbed up, with Chief Cao chasing after him.
"You can't run away! I won't kill you! The emperor wants to recruit you and give you the official position of minister!"
Chief Cao threw sugar-coated bullets.
Long Chen sneered in his heart, he could even say such things to deceive a child.
There was a hill covered with snow, and it was very difficult to climb up. Long Chen was in front, and Chief Cao was behind, and he was about to catch up.
Suddenly, Long Chen threw out a stream of muddy water with his backhand.
Master Cao didn't take it seriously and raised his head to block it.
"ah!"
The muddy water entered his eyes, and Mr. Cao screamed.
Just now, Long Chen saw a small puddle. The water above was yellowish in color. It was obviously due to high sulfide content. Long Chen used a scarf to soak up the muddy water and hide it.
At this time, it was sprinkled and splashed into the eyes of Mr. Cao, burning him and causing him to scream.
There would be no second chance like this. Long Chen threw himself down from a high place, and the dagger in his hand pierced into the body of Chief Cao. His fists fell like a rainstorm, and Chief Cao was beaten to death.
Ta da da….
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Long Chen shouted that something was wrong.
If help comes at this time, he will be dead.
"Xiao Longlong, are you okay?"
Qingyue jumped off the horse, stepped into the muddy water with a pair of embroidered shoes, and ran to the foot of the mountain.
Long Chen held the dagger warily, he was worried that Qingyue was also a spy.
"What's going on?"
Qingyue asked anxiously.
Several more horses came running behind, all of them were female soldiers from the West Palace, and they dismounted together.
Seeing that there were so many people, Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nanliang spy wants to kill me!"
Long Chen said breathlessly.
Qingyue said in surprise: "Nanliang spy? Chief Cao?"
Long Chen's appearance at this time was no different from that of a coal digger, he was extremely embarrassed.
"If he's still alive, take him back for interrogation. You should be able to follow the clues and find a lot of lurking spies."
Long Chen really had no strength left.
Qingyue touched Chief Cao's carotid artery, and there was still a pulse. He was not dead.
"Take it back!"
The female soldiers stepped forward to arrest the man, Qingyue gave Long Chen a horse to ride on, and they went back to the palace together.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Qingyue felt very sorry for Long Chen.
"Can't die."
Long Chen smiled miserably. If he hadn't been careful this time and put on an extra layer of protection, he would have been caught by Chief Cao.
Just be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
Returning to the West Palace, Di Luoxi saw Long Chen's embarrassed appearance and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
Qingyue replied: "Principal Cao is a spy from Nanliang. He assassinated Xiao Longlong."
Di Luoxi was furious: "Kill him! Cut him into pieces!"
Long Chen advised: "No, let's interrogate him carefully and see how many spies are still lurking in the court. I don't want to experience this a second time."
Di Luoxi waved her hand, and Qingyue immediately pulled Chief Cao down for interrogation.
"Are you okay?"
Di Luoxi didn't mind that Long Chen was dirty and stepped forward to check the injury.
"It's okay. I'm going to take a shower. I'm so dirty."
"That Hell Mountain is coal. I can solve the problem of burning firewood."
Di Luoxi said distressedly: "What time is it? Still burning firewood, go take a bath."
When Long Chen returned to the side courtyard, Xiang Ning was shocked, and Long Chen asked her to boil water.
Xiang Ning rubbed it for Long Chen for a long time before washing it off. The coal contained oil and entered the pores, making it difficult to wash off.
Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng entered the empress' room and whispered: "Nanliang spies assassinated Long Chen in Hell Mountain, but failed."
The empress raised her eyebrows and asked: "Where is Long Chen? Is he injured?"
Yingfeng said: "No, he killed the spy instead. The fourth princess revived the spy and is now questioning him."
The empress breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let Xingwan go, she is an expert."
Yingfeng immediately sent a decree and asked Emperor Xingwan to take over the torture.
West Palace.
Long Chen came out of the shower and his hair was not completely dry. He entered Di Luoxi's bedroom and saw the second princess Di Xingwan coming in.
"Little Dragon Dragon."
Emperor Xingwan shouted affectionately.
Di Luoxi said with a dark face: "What is Xiaolonglong? Is that what you called Xiaolonglong?"
Seeing that the two sisters were about to quarrel, Long Chen advised: "The second princess must have something serious to do when she comes here, so let's talk about the business first."
Emperor Xingwan turned cold and said, "The queen asked me to question the spy. Come and take the spy away."
After saying that, Emperor Xing left the West Palace late at night.
She originally wanted to come over and tease Long Chen, but she didn't expect Di Luoxi to be so protective of her.
