It is said that the honor guard of the Son of Heaven is splendid, and the long queue is lined up from the South Palace to the East City Gate, and the people, officials, and troops are all shouting long live and kneeling down. Emperor Han Ling was full of pride, and when he saw that Queen He was unusually beautiful and unusual, he felt that he was the supreme man and was loved by thousands of people. It's a pity that he just borrowed the blessing of his ancestors, as an emperor, he has no ideal of governing the country at all, let alone a cure for the troubled times.

Empress He was on the high platform, and when she saw Long Chen, she only felt pleasing to the eye, and she was slightly stunned subconsciously for a while, as if God whispered four words in her ear: "It is difficult to escape", and the possessiveness slowly rose unconsciously. Thinking of her mother Wuyangjun's entrustment, Empress He ignored what Emperor Han Ling was talking about on the high platform, took a moment to walk in front of the emperor, and proposed in public, asking the emperor to give Chen Long the history of Jingzhou as a commendation for the extermination of the Yellow Turban.

When the ministers saw that Empress He personally asked for the official for Chen Long, they all started dumb riddles in their hearts, and some even guessed that this was a play that the emperor and the queen had arranged a long time ago, and the queen proposed to appoint it, and the emperor gave permission. If the saint follows Queen He's words, opens the golden mouth, and gives the history of Jingzhou to Chen Long, then where is there room for the minister to be right. There was silence for a while, and they all looked up at Emperor Han Ling's reaction, and the general He Jin widened his eyes even more, shaking his head and signaling to Emperor Han Ling.

Emperor Ling of Han was a little embarrassed at this time, in fact, it was not that he was unwilling to give Chen Long this Jingzhou Thorn History, the real reason was that he had already sold the location of Jingzhou Thorn History to the Han clan relatives, after Liu Yu, the king of Lu Gong, Liu Jingsheng, who was then the general's mansion. Liu Biao's five million money has already entered the private treasury of Emperor Han Ling, how can he give it to Chen Long again? Do you want Emperor Han Ling to refund Liu Biao?

Emperor Han Ling is not a stupid person, and when his eyes rolled at this time, he was also calculating. At that moment, he raised his hands and announced loudly: "Chen Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, so naturally he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds." Since the queen came forward, I hereby announced that Chen Long in the south will be immediately promoted to the assassin of Jiaozhou, and 50,000 households will be rewarded, and Lingling County borders Jiaozhou, and it is still under the jurisdiction of Chen Aiqing. After that, he didn't wait for Queen He to speak, and his eyes glared at Zhao Zhong beside him.

Zhao Zhong understood, and hurriedly drank: "Long Chen is still not grateful?" ”

Up and down the high platform, I was stupid for a while. Empress He obviously said that it was the history of the Jingzhou Thorn, how could the emperor say that it became the history of the Jiaozhou Thorn. Could it be that the emperor heard it wrong? The difference between one word is the land of fish and rice, rich and prosperous, and the other is the end of the world, the land of smoke and miasma, and the front and back are really very different.

Chen Long was also stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "The last general thanks Lord Longen!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

Empress He no longer spoke, smiling silently, still with a good demeanor, her wonderful eyes swept over Long Chen, and her expression was faintly apologetic. Then he helped Emperor Han Ling to walk down the high platform, boarded the giant chariot in the cheers of everyone, and slowly returned to the city.

The hundred officials sent the emperor back to the palace, and then went to Chen Long to congratulate him, Chen Long was happy on the surface, but he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. The general He Jin led a group of generals to Chen Long, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "Wenlong, congratulations on your promotion to Jiaozhou Assassin History." If you have time to sit at the General's Palace, it is not too late to take office. After that, he turned his head and left, He Miao couldn't speak, so he followed. It was Cao Cao, who was among the people, who came over and congratulated him sincerely.

Finally, when the officials were dispersed, Zhou Budo and Guo Jia stepped forward and wanted to speak. Chen Long waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the inn." ”

In the inn, there are a few suites specially set up for Chen Long, which is very quiet. Zhang Ning greeted him, and Chen Long told Zhang Ning what happened at today's ceremony, called Zhou Budo and Guo Jia in, and ordered the door to be closed.

Zhang Ning knew that Chen Long was dissatisfied with the result, so he still congratulated: "Long Lang, I have finally been promoted to the history of assassination and can master the land of a state." There are a total of thirteen states in the world, and Long Lang is already a feudal official, and his future is bright. You can also avoid He Jin's suspicion, and let him slowly figure it out. ”

Guo Jia also said: "What the master mother said is very true. Moreover, Lingling is still in the hands of the lord, and it also has a place in Jingzhou. The geography of Jiaozhou is just in the rear of Lingling, and this result is indeed not bad. ”

Zhou Budo smiled and said, "Lord, now should be the time to apply oil to the soles of your feet." ”

Chen Long had already thought about it, and smiled when he heard this: "Who is the current Jiaozhou Assassin Shi?" ”

Zhou Budo said: "Zhu Fu, the former Jiaozhou assassin Shi Zhu Fu, imposed heavy taxes on the people and the scholars, recklessly used military force, and expropriated violently, causing the scholars to resist and be killed. Now the positions are vacant, and the county guards are flocking to grab them, and the most competitive is Cangwu Guangxin person Xie, the word Weiyan, who is nominally loyal to the Han Dynasty's Jiaozhi Taishou, but in fact has become a warlord who has divided the counties in Lingnan. The Shi family is a wealthy family in Lingnan, with a very high prestige, and most of the relatives hold important positions in Jiaozhou, Shixie's eldest brother Shi Yi is the Taishou of Hepu, the second brother is the Taishou of Jiuzhen, and the third brother of Shiwu is the Taishou of the South China Sea. Shi Xie's personality is generous and measured, and he is a modest corporal, and the number of people who have taken refuge in the Central Plains is hundreds, such as Yuan Hui, Xu Jing, Cheng Bing, Xue Zong, etc. ”

Chen Long gasped, he couldn't imagine that Jiaozhou was so chaotic, and frowned: "Jiaozhou is a long way away, and there are many warlords, and the lineup is strong, and the influence of the court on him is very weak. I'm afraid that I can't say whether I can take office or not. ”

Guo Jia and Zhou Budo glanced at each other, and Guo Jia said: "It really takes a lot of effort. However, let's get the edict of the Son of Heaven, unless Shi Xie rebels against the imperial court, he will not be happy in his heart, and he will have to admit our position of Jiaozhou Assassin Shi. Our Lingling is still in the stage of recruiting troops, so we don't have to fight him. As for the training of Lingling's male soldiers in the future, if he does not obey the edict again, he will be subdued. Zhou Budo listened to Guo Jia's majestic words, and couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly, looking at Long Chen expectantly.

Chen Long was in a better mood, and his pride swelled up, and he laughed and said, "Then in the future, let's use this Shixie to practice first!" ”

The next person came to report, Zhao Da came to visit, Chen Long was startled and hurriedly called up. Zhao Da finished his salute and reported: "My lord, today the Holy Lord promised you the position of Jiaozhou Assassin in person, and Wu Kuang's surveillance posts on my side were suddenly withdrawn. I heard that the new Jingzhou Thorn Shi is the Fu Peng of He Jin's General's Mansion, a member of the Han family, and Liu Jingsheng, one of the 'Eight Horses'. The villain confirmed again and again, and there was indeed no stalking, so he came over and hurried to report to you. ”

Chen Long sneered and said, "I think He Jin successfully let Liu Biao take the position of Jingzhou Assassin, and he doesn't care much about me." As long as I leave Jingshi, there is no threat to him. "Let's say that, let Zhao Da hurry back and rearrange Luoyang eyeliner.

As soon as Zhao Da walked on the front foot, He Miao arrived on the back foot. Long Chen hurriedly greeted him and took He Miao to another suite with a tea room. The two of them were not polite, and He Miao said straightforwardly: "Wenlong, I didn't expect this to happen today, I'm sorry." ”

Long Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Who would have thought that the saint would hear a word wrong, this is also my bad life, and it has nothing to do with Brother He Miao." "I thought that Emperor Han Ling was also clever, the so-called dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and people were anxious and wise, so he actually pretended to hear Jingzhou as Jiaozhou in front of everyone.

He Miao took a lot of bribes from Long Chen, but the matter was not done, so he was naturally a little embarrassed, and comforted: "With my sister by the emperor's side, sooner or later I will take Jingzhou for General Chen." ”

Chen Long's heart moved: "General He, I am really not very familiar with Jiaozhou, can you give me some guidance?" He Miao smiled bitterly: "The mountains are far away, and it is difficult for the power of the imperial court to expand to Jiaozhou. I can't do anything about what you have done. Seeing Chen Long shaking his head and sighing, He Miao said again: "However, the most ridiculous thing is that my brother He Jin had already given the position of Jiaozhou Assassin to his general Zhang Jin, before I came, Zhang Jin was crying at my eldest brother." ”

The two laughed at the same time, but they didn't expect that although Emperor Han Ling was in a hurry, he finally let He Jin eat a deflated. He Miao got up to say goodbye, and suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Wenlong, you go to my mother's mansion tonight, she has something to tell you in person." ”

Chen Long hurriedly agreed, knowing that Wuyangjun was not embarrassed, and he also wanted to apologize in person, and he still had to give this face. Chen Long asked Zhou Budo and Guo Jia to be responsible for collecting information on Jiaozhou, especially to check which officials in the court and China had collusion, and he and Zhang Ning laughed and rested for a while, and when it was dark, he took Lu Chang and a few other personal soldiers, and went straight to Wuyangjun's mansion.

When he dismounted at the gate of Wuyang Jun's mansion, the subordinate had obviously received a notice, took the horse, and invited Chen Long to enter, while Lu Chang and the others waited at the door. A subordinate led Chen Long to the door of the backyard and said, "I can only get here, the old lady ordered, please go in by yourself." ”

Chen Long was slightly surprised, and stepped into the back garden according to his words, and saw palace lamps hanging everywhere, the scenery was quiet and fascinating. Chen Long walked slowly along the corridor full of palace lanterns, and a handsome maid came up with palace lanterns and said, "General Chen, please come here." ”

The palace lamp led the way, zigzagging all the way, and finally arrived in front of a small two-story building. The maid pushed open the door, looked at Long Chen with a smile and said, "Please go to the second floor to see Madame." ”

In Chen Long's heart, he had already beaten a small drum. Wuyangjun made it mysterious, I don't know what the purpose was, it was obviously different from when I first met yesterday. Suddenly remembered Zhou Budo's male sexuality, and couldn't help but quickly snort a few times, kicking this idea out of his mind. But the thoughts together, it will only get more and more real, bigger and bigger, could it be that Wuyangjun is old and decrepit, lonely for too long, and really takes a fancy to himself?

Chen Long saw the stairs leading to the second floor, and climbed up step by step, his steps becoming heavier and heavier. Secretly made up his mind, if Wuyangjun forcibly let himself sleep tonight, he couldn't say anything, so he had to brush his sleeves and leave, and immediately called Zhang Ning and them to flee back to Lingling, even if Wuyangjun persuaded the emperor to send troops to encircle and suppress Lingling, he would not hesitate. God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks *, whoever dares to bring troops to Lingling, let him not be able to eat and walk around. It's just a pity that the good situation of his business in Luoyang has to be in vain.

The short stairs, I don't know how long it took to walk, and finally at the end, Chen Long raised his eyes and saw a figure, standing in the middle of the embroidery room with his back, and hurriedly bowed his head in greeting. The figure turned around, and Long Chen just raised his eyes to see clearly, and was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Niang Niang Chitose forgiveness!" ”

It turned out that it was not Wuyangjun who wanted to see Long Chen, but Queen He, who had the body of a daughter. Queen He was in her twenties, just at the prime age, changed into a pale pink regular dress, with black hair coiled on the top of her head at will, fixed with a golden hairpin, and a golden silk tied around her waist, showing her slender waist, well-proportioned figure, beautiful legs, and erect breasts. Covered with a golden robe, it sets off the contours of her beautiful and solemn face, which is really beautiful and incomprehensible, making people dare not look at it directly.

How dare Chen Long take a closer look, Queen He walked up to Chen Long, stretched out her slender jade hand, raised it lightly in front of Chen Long's eyes, and said, "Flatten, get up and talk." ”

Chen Long stood up dizzily, how could he have thought that he would be received by the queen alone, or in such an ambiguous atmosphere, thinking of her noble identity, the majesty of the mother in the world during the day, it was like a dream for a while.

Seeing that Chen Long was demented, Empress He couldn't help but sneer and laughed: "General Wenlong, don't be restrained. I'm inviting you tonight, just when you're a friend and have something to ask for. ”

Chen Long sobered up a little, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Niangniang, please speak, Wenlong dares to disobey." ”

Empress He said slowly: "Wenlong, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were a naturally righteous person who could protect me, a weak woman. ”

"Weak woman? Niangniang is like a phoenix among birds, high above the clouds, admired by thousands of people, what can't be done? ”

Empress He's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Wenlong, please forgive me for being shallow and profound. As a queen, she is admired by thousands of people. But as a woman, I am worse than dead. You are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you are naturally righteous, I will never look away. He will be able to become the leader of the group one day, even He Jin is not your opponent. If you can help my son ascend to the throne smoothly, I will guarantee with my life that he will share the world of the Han family with Wenlong in the future, okay? After that, he gritted his teeth, his pretty face was slightly deformed, and his eyes were full of tears.

Chen Long instantly understood, remembering that this was another famous palace fight in history. Empress He gave birth to the eldest son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian, and everything went well, but later Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty accepted Wang Meiren, and was extremely spoiled, and gave birth to the second son Liu Xie, and gradually there was a tendency to abolish Queen He, and the status of the eldest son Liu Bian's crown prince was also in danger and precarious.

After figuring out this section, Long Chen finally understood the purpose of Empress He's meeting with him today. Queen He burst into tears, it could be seen that she had been suppressed for too long, and she looked at Long Chen, as if she was waiting for Long Chen to confess her loyalty.

Chen Long was silent, although he pitied this poor beauty in his heart, his reason told himself that it was best not to wade into the troubled waters of this palace fight, otherwise he might die and didn't know how to die.

Empress He looked up at Long Chen's face, and saw that Long Chen's handsome face had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the deep black sea in his pupils was as unfathomable as the sea, coupled with his tall and perfect body, and the wisdom and courage of the Yellow Turban, it was indeed a gift pursued by women. With a sigh, the snow-white slender hand slowly untied the silk silk in front of Xiang's neck, the golden robe slowly slipped down, and said in the most gentle voice: "Wenlong, I know that it is difficult for you to believe in my sincerity immediately, only by exchanging your body for your trust, I was deeply attracted by you when I saw you for the first time, and it can be described as love at first sight." I hope Wenlong doesn't dislike me for another purpose, and I am willing to form an overnight relationship with you. ”

The golden robe slowly slipped off Empress He's shoulders, with a slight sound of silk rubbing, and fell silently in front of Long Chen.
