Li Chengdao was sitting in the Imperial Garden, with Xuan Jizi standing next to him.
Summer comes earlier in Nanliang. The garden is full of flowers, bees and butterflies are flying among the flowers, willows are weeping like waterfalls by the pond, and rare birds are singing on the trees.
Eunuch Zhong Gui led three men into the imperial garden.
"Your Majesty, the three generals have arrived."
Zhong Gui walked to Li Chengdao and stood next to him, turned around and said to the three men: "I haven't paid homage to the emperor yet."
The three of them bowed to Li Chengdao: "Long live the common people, my emperor."
These three people are the new generation of generals selected by the Hero Station.
"No gift."
The three of them stood level and eunuch Zhong Gui introduced them one by one:
The first one on the left is of medium build, has a handsome face, and is a bit gentle. His name is Xue Ze. He was originally a scholar, but later abandoned literature and became a martial artist, and has just broken through to the realm of Emperor Wu.
In the middle is a dark man with gnarled muscles and a neck as thick as his head. His name is Tong Yuan. He is at the peak of his cultivation and is born with divine power.
The one on the right is thin and looks a little frail, with slender eyes and cold eyes. His name is Liu Feibai. He was in the early stage of Emperor Wu and is good at using swords.
Li Chengdao looked at it carefully, nodded slightly, and said: "There are outstanding people in Daliang, and there is a gathering of talents. This time we reopened the hero stage, three people stood out. They are the dragon and the phoenix among the people."
"Today I will confer upon you the title of third-grade general, and grant each of you a palace."
The three of them were overjoyed and worshiped: "General, I would like to thank the emperor for your kindness."
Just after winning the Hero Stage, he entered the palace and was conferred as a general. In the past, only Tatsuno had this honor.
"You arrange for the three of them to go to the front line for training, General Xue to serve under General Hu, and General Tong and General Liu to go to General Qiu."
Zhong Gui immediately accepted the order.
"The three generals have never led troops before, so they should learn with humility. When they become proficient in military affairs, I will let the three of them command the troops."
The three of them bowed together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to the Holy Hope."
Li Chengdao nodded, Zhong Gui took the people out of the palace and immediately arranged to go to the front line for training.
"In this hero stage competition, the three of them are the best. In addition, there are fifteen strong men in the king's realm, all of whom have been assigned positions in the army."
"In this way, our army has excellent generals again."
Xuanjizi hugged the fly whisk and said slowly.
Li Chengdao shook his head slightly and said: "Military affairs require experience. How can it be so fast that Long Ye is born to lead troops and fight once in a century..."
Li Chengdao's words stopped abruptly because he thought of Long Chen.
"I heard that Long Chengen pacified the northern barbarians, Yeluhong was killed, and Monk Kongji's disciple Ma Zun was also beheaded."
Li Chengdao looked at the lotus leaves on the pond. A kingfisher stood on the flower bones, staring at the movement on the water.
"Yes, Long Chengen also supported the new chanyu. From now on, there will be no war in the northern part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and there will be a steady supply of good horses and furs."
Xuanjizi also sounded slightly sad, sensing a crisis.
"The barbarians occupy the grassland and no one can conquer it. Monk Kongji can only use Buddhism to infiltrate. Long Chengen actually attacked the barbarian holy mountain..."
Li Chengdao felt more and more terrible about Long Chen, and felt more and more that he must eradicate Long Chen.
"Pindao thinks that although Long Cheng'en has established a new Chanyu, the power of Buddhism is still there, Monk Kongji can still control the grassland, and the northern border may not be peaceful."
Xuanjizi concluded that Monk Kongji would not easily withdraw from the grassland, and would use Buddhism to control the situation.
Li Chengdao stood up and walked to the edge of the pond and said: "No matter what happens to Xixia, we must step up military training. I always feel that Long Chengen intends to dominate the world."
Xuanjizi's face suddenly changed and he said: "It's impossible, the World Association will definitely not agree..."
Li Chengdao sneered: "Tianxiahui, I suspect that Tianxiahui is also one of Long Chengen's goals. He will eradicate anyone who blocks his way!"
Xuanjizi shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought Long Chengen was done. If he takes another step forward, the world will definitely take action. At that time, Xixia and I, Daliang, will form an alliance, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be in danger!"
Li Chengdao was not as sure as Xuan Jizi, he felt that Long Chen could not stop here.
"On the contrary, Pindao hopes that Long Cheng'en will push his limits further, so that he can force the world to take action, and even the most powerful general will fall."
Xuanjizi's voice was very soft, he was afraid that Li Chengdao would be angry.
Last time, Tatsuno was in too much limelight, and the world planned a conspiracy to kill Tatsuno's family, and together with the 100,000 Long Family troops, they perished.
Later, Li Chengdao discovered that this was a conspiracy of the Tianxiahui, and that Cang Songzi, the former head of Cangxuan Mountain, was involved, so Li Chengdao supported Xuan Jizi to poison Cang Songzi, and Xuan Jizi took over as the head.
Xuanjizi was naturally very careful when bringing up old things again.
"Yes, if Long Chengen is so popular, what will the world be doing?"
Li Chengdao also began to hope that Long Chen would take another step forward and prompt the world to kill him, just like he did with Long Ye.
"Pindao felt that the world would be waiting for Long Chengen to die from the poison, so he didn't want to take action."
Long Chen took Yang Jingshi, and he didn't have much time left, so there was no need to take action.
After all, taking action against Long Chen would definitely cost a lot.
"Yes, what the Taoist priest said makes sense, but waiting for Long Chengen to die by himself is really..."
Li Chengdao couldn't swallow this breath. He wanted to cut off Long Chen's head with his own hands to avenge his three sons.
"When Long Cheng'en dies from poison, the power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be greatly reduced. Jing Tianlie is dead, Long Cheng'en is also dead, and there are no more generals in the country. I, Daliang, can take advantage of the situation to conquer the lost territory."
"Goodbye, Taoist Master."
Li Chengdao felt better.
"I heard that the Holy One is still... favoring the concubines in the harem. This matter needs to be controlled. The dragon body is important."
Xuanjizi smiled, he shouldn't have said such a thing.
I only mentioned it because Xuanjizi had some research on Fangzhongshu and often prepared elixirs for Li Chengdao.
"I know."
Li Chengdao smiled.
"Pindao still wants to say that there are talents among the princes. Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body."
Li Chengdao nodded slowly and said: "I have already asked the Imperial Academy to examine and select. I will pay attention to my health."
Xuanjizi said calmly: "Pindao will refine some yin-nourishing elixirs for the emperor?"
Li Chengdao shook his head slightly and said: "Long Chengen's Liuwei Dihuang Pills are very good."
Xuanjizi smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.
....
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Long Chen came out of the palace and returned to Long Shuai's mansion. He Juntao quickly came over to pay his respects.
"The master is back."
"You're back. Is everything okay at home?"
"Everything is fine, I just miss you."
Walking into the backyard, Su Yourong was wearing a white gauze dress with a black bra underneath. She greeted him with a smile: "My lord is back."
Long Chen smiled and pulled Su Yourong and asked, "Auntie, do you miss me?"
Su Yourong whispered: "Sir, please pay attention, there is someone next to you."
Long Chen ignored it, stretched out his arms to hug Su Yourong, put his hands into his clothes, and said with a smile: "The people in the backyard are from the palace, they know what my temper is."
The backyard is Long Chen's harem. These maids all know that Long Chen is lustful, so it's not strange for him to have sex with anyone.
Su Yourong couldn't resist and simply let Long Chen eat tofu.
She had been holding back for a long time after not seeing each other for such a long time.
When Xiang Ning saw Long Chen coming back, she ran over happily. Su Yourong broke free from his hands and put her clothes in order again.
"Sir, you are finally back. I miss you so much."
Xiang Ning threw herself into her arms, and Xiao'e and a group of maids also gathered around her, like a group of creditors.
"My lord has just come back, please give me permission..."
Su Yourong drove them away, and Xiang Ning said, "Auntie got the benefit herself and came to drive us away again."
Su Yourong said shyly: "What are you talking about? My lord has just come back. Go and prepare hot water, give me a good bath, and then tidy up the room."
Xiang Ning immediately said: "It has been prepared for a long time. Sir, let's go take a bath. I asked Fei Linai to wait in the bath. You like fish therapy the most."
Xiang Ning dragged Long Chen and ran towards the bathtub.
Bai Tingting and others had finished washing and were sitting in the pavilion enjoying the breeze and drinking tea.
"These little goblins are just like debt collectors."
"You're not just a debt collector."
"There are women in the backyard, but I am a man. If you don't collect debts from him, who will you collect from?"
"Xiangyun, your husband is entangled by a goblin, why don't you save him?"
