Long Chen walked to the door, but the shadow guard opened the door without blocking him.
Entering the room, Ziyun and Miaoyin were playing chess, and the empress was reviewing the memorial.
Di Yuwei and Di Xing returned to the capital late at night. Sun Yun, the old Zhuguo Gong, was old and could not bear to deal with government affairs every day, so the two of them returned urgently.
Some important matters were still sent to Yanmen Pass for the empress to make decisions.
"You're back? How's it going?"
Long Chen entered the door, the empress put down her ink pen, and Ziyun and Miaoyin put down their chess pieces.
"What a danger. Gui Tai and Qin Hao sneaked into Xixia. Gui Fei almost took away hundreds of thousands of people."
Long Chen recounted what happened. After listening to it, the empress frowned and said, "Xixia actually has some internal agents. Speaking of which, Xixia has not been cleaned. Do you want to clean it again?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "We are facing a powerful enemy. Purging will cause turmoil in people's hearts. Wu Gui and Zeng Mu are both ordinary people and have not turned into ghosts. If they are purged, false accusations will easily occur."
"When the time comes, officials will frame each other and everyone will be in danger, which will be disadvantageous."
"I asked Tian Caiwei to inform all the cities in Xixia about Wu Gui and Ma Feizi. This should serve as a warning."
Long Chen doesn't agree with cleaning up at this time, the result will only be worse.
The empress nodded and said, "As long as you are prepared."
Ziyun asked: "Are Guitai and Qin Hao dead?"
Just now, Long Chen said that both Guitai and Qin Hao were seriously injured, but neither of them killed them with their own hands. Ziyun wanted to know if they were dead.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven't seen the body, so I'm not sure."
"Guitai and Qin Hao are both old demons. I guess... they are not dead."
Long Chen's guess was based on experience. Both of them were very cunning and would not die so easily.
As for Li Chengdao's betrayal and devouring, no one could have imagined it.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. It's enough to save hundreds of thousands of people."
The empress comforted Long Chen, who smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. I just feel it is a pity."
Rumble...
Suddenly there were several thunderclaps in the sky, and it started to rain heavily outside.
"It's raining?"
Miaoyin lay on the window and looked out.
Raindrops fell from the sky, and the sound of rain could be heard on the roof.
"Your rain praying formation worked."
Miaoyin turned around and smiled.
Long Chen smiled and said: "That's because I ask the Dragon King for rain, and the Dragon King always wants to give me some face."
The smoke will finally work, and after it rains, the clouds will disperse and the sun will come out.
The ghost tribe has just experienced a huge defeat. If the sun rises, the ghost girl will most likely retreat to the ice field.
Yanmen Pass can be quiet for a period of time.
"When the sun comes out, our people also feel uncomfortable, so the training will be changed to the evening."
The empress walked to the bed and looked at the raindrops and said.
The half-ghost soldiers don't like being exposed to the sun either, so it would be much better to train at night.
"Take advantage of this period to train the soldiers well. When the next winter comes, the ghost clan will be in full force."
Long Chen was very sure that when winter came, the Ghost Girl Martial Saint would definitely go south to attack with all her strength.
At that time, Long Chen must have enough elite soldiers to deal with it.
Ziyun said: "Originally we planned to launch a counterattack in the summer, but we didn't expect that the losses would be so heavy and the summer would be wasted."
The empress said: "There is no other way. The plan is better to change. Let's start training the troops. There are also weapons that need to be replenished in time. When winter comes, we must be ready for a big war."
Long Chen stood up and said: "Leave everything to me, I will retire."
After exiting the room, Long Chen washed up and rested first, then concentrated on training and preparing new weapons.
...
Carl Lake.
The rumble of thunder sounded above the head, and the ghost girl stood by the lake, looking at the turquoise lake, feeling very upset in her heart.
The demon has been gone for a long time, but no news has come back yet. She is worried that something happened to the ghost fetus.
Four hundred years ago, Wu Sheng formed an alliance with Long Yuan and led troops to conquer the barbarians. The barbarians were defeated and defeated.
At this time, the frozen Hera Pass suddenly collapsed, forming the Storm Canyon. According to legend, the barbarian priests led 3,000 people into the ice field to offer sacrifices to the ghosts.
The ghost tribe saw people outside for the first time.
The barbarian priest prayed to the ghost girl for help and expressed his willingness to sacrifice his people.
The barbarian priest asked his men to commit suicide. The moment the blood spurted out, the ghosts felt delicious.
The ghost girl drank human blood for the first time, and the warm feeling made her intoxicated.
The rest of the ghost clan were also intoxicated.
The ghost girl agreed to the request of the barbarian priest and led the ghost tribe to fight out of the Hera Pass.
With the support of the ghosts, the barbarian army counterattacked and created half-ghosts with strong fighting power.
Wu Sheng and Long Yuan led the human race to counterattack. During the fierce battle, Wu Sheng and the ghost girl met for the first time.
The ghost girl was so beautiful that the martial saint fell in love with her and led his soldiers to defect to the ghost tribe.
Long Yuan and Di Feng led the human race to fight against the ghost race.
At that time, Wu Sheng had more than 300,000 elite soldiers under his command, and Gui Nu had 100,000 ghost soldiers under his command. They were powerful and powerful. Although Long Yuan and Di Feng were strong, the ghost clan had the upper hand.
It was not until later that the sacred tree was discovered and arrows were attached to the demon-suppressing stone that the ghost tribe began to collapse.
The ghost tribe retreated to the ice field, and the ghost female warrior saint fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that Long Yuan and Di Feng had won, but the human tribe also suffered heavy casualties. Long Yuan and Di Feng were also seriously injured, and both of them died quickly.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ghost girl, Long Yuan and Di Feng are strong enemies, but they are not invincible.
Four hundred years have passed, Long Yuan and Di Feng are dead, and the ghost girl thought that this revenge would be a boring massacre.
Who would have thought that Long Chen would be more difficult to deal with than Long Yuan.
Long Chen's cultivation cannot be said to be better than Long Yuan's, but Long Chen's cunning is unmatched, like a poisonous snake and a cunning fox.
She obviously felt that Long Chen was nothing more than this, but every time he suffered a loss, the ghost girl hated him so much that she could do nothing.
Next time, next time you see me, kill the little thief first!
The ghost girl gritted her teeth secretly.
When the battle came later, the ghost girl no longer cared about her face, and joined forces with the Martial Saint to besiege Long Chen from the beginning.
As long as Long Chen is killed, everything will be easy.
Rumble...
After the thunder, the raindrops fell on the calm lake, and ripples spread out. The ghost girl looked up at the sky and felt the clouds moving.
The temperature has been rising, and the hot and humid water vapor makes people uncomfortable.
The ghost tribe is accustomed to dry and cold climate.
From the south, the priest demon returned with thousands of ghost soldiers. The ghost girl immediately walked over. The demon dismounted and worshiped: "I pay homage to your majesty."
The ghost girl scanned the crowd and found no ghost fetus, so she asked: "Where is Wang'er?"
The demon spirit immediately explained what happened. After hearing this, the ghost girl looked ugly and gritted her teeth and cursed: "It's Long Chen again. If anything happens to Wang Er, I will eat him alive!"
This is the first time the ghost girl has lost her temper and cursed someone.
The demon comforted him: "Your Majesty, calm down. The Holy Son has been in the Central Plains for hundreds of years and is very familiar with the situation in the Central Plains. The Holy Son will definitely return safely. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
The ghost girl thought so too. The ghost fetus must be okay after living in the Central Plains for so long.
"No one was caught?"
The ghost girl didn't see anyone and was very unhappy.
Both the Martial Saint's healing and the Ghost Soldier's healing require human blood and human flesh for nourishment. The demon comes back empty-handed, and the Martial Saint's injuries cannot be healed.
The demon spirit immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Li Chengdao will take care of it."
When he came back, the demon asked Li Chengdao to arrest people. No matter how many, it would be easier to do business with him if he caught them.
Li Chengdao did not refuse and went to do it immediately.
