In late autumn, it was dark early, and business travelers outside the inn went into the inn early, after dinner, they all went into the house to sleep.

The waiter sent a plate of noodles and two large bowls of noodles. Two large plates of mutton came in and another jar of wine.

Long Chen thanked the waiter and had supper with Bai Tingting.

"I'll go out tonight, don't move around here."

After Long Chen finished his meal, he drank another bowl of water.

The soil here is hard and the water is a bit salty.

"I'll go with you."

Bai Tingting immediately put down her chopsticks, picked up her sword and prepared to leave.

Long Chen shook his head and said, "I'll go to see Li Chengtong tonight. I'll see you alone, so don't go."

Bai Tingting opposed: "What if he brings people? Isn't it very dangerous for you to be alone?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "It shouldn't be possible to bring people for the first time. He wants to know what I mean."

"If I brought someone, he probably won't come."

Bai Tingting was very worried: "Then I will pick you up nearby."

Long Chen pinched Bai Tingting's face and smiled and said, "No, just wait for me to come back to sleep here."

Bai Tingting sighed: "When Zhang Qian follows, she can protect you. I follow you and it doesn't feel that it's useless."

After all, the gap in cultivation is too big and I can't help Long Chen.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Who said it's useless? You can sleep with me."

Bai Tingting frowned and said, "When is it still joking, I hate it."

Long Chen hugged Bai Tingting and smiled, "No kidding, I'll do it."

As he said that, Long Chen untied Bai Tingting's belt, and Bai Tingting half-pushed and half-passed.

The hour of Hai.

A bright moon shines on the cold Xifeng Town. The bare mountains outside look like silver-plated. The faint cold wind blows through, making people feel cold all over the body.

Long Chen put on his clothes, had a black sword around his waist, an iron spear in his hand, and quietly left the yard and ran towards Yuanxiao Valley.

A distance of ten miles, Long Chen's Martial Emperor's cultivation level soon arrived.

Yuanxiao Valley is ten miles south of Xifeng Town. The ancient trees are slanted in the valley, cliffs stand, and a waterfall flows straight downward, flowing south into the border of Daliang.

Xifeng Town has a desert Gobi climate, but it is rainy here, ten miles apart, and the climate is completely different.

Under the moonlight, the waterfall is like silver flowing, and monkeys make cold apes roars in the forest from time to time, making them even more desolate.

Long Chen sat cross-legged on a conspicuous stone, waiting for Li Chengtong to come to the appointment.

Mid-day has passed, but Li Chengtong is still missing.

Long Chen was not in a hurry. He estimated that Li Chengtong had arrived and was confirming whether there were ambushes around him. When he completed the confirmation, he would naturally come out.

Half an hour later, a black shadow came out of the woods, and it was Li Chengtong.

He had a big spear in his hand and a knife around his waist. He probably had thin armor on his face.

Li Chengtong walked step by step to the front of the stone and stood 5 meters away from Long Chen.

"Your Highness, long time no see."

Long Chen stood up, holding a spear, and looked at Li Chengtong opposite him.

The moonlight is bright, and Long Chen can see Li Chengtong's face clearly.

Li Chengtong looked at Long Chen carefully and sighed slightly: "It has been three years since the farewell of the Daming Palace. You were just a little eunuch who had just entered the palace, but now you have become an important official in charge of the Great Zhou power. Life is really impermanent."

When he saw Li Chengtong, hatred kept pouring in his heart. Long Chen tried his best to suppress it, making himself calm.

"Yes, I went from a poor eunuch to a powerful minister who commanded 200,000 troops, and His Royal Highness was in danger and could be deposed or even beheaded at any time. It's really unpredictable."

Long Chen sneered slightly.

Li Chengtong's face froze, and then he said angrily: "Long Cheng'en, you asked me to come out tonight to say this?"

Long Chen's words sounded like a threat, and he wanted to use Qianjiang County's handle to hold him hostage.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong with your prince. I came out tonight to do a business. Everyone has a business that can be made."

Li Chengtong said coldly: "Buying and dealings? What kind of deal can I do with you?"

From beginning to end, Li Chengtong regarded himself as the "prince", which shows that he valued this identity very much.

The more a person cares about, the more he emphasizes.

Long Chen was secretly happy in his heart that what he wanted was that Li Chengtong cared about the prince's reputation and status. If he didn't care, Long Chen could not threaten him.

"Okay, then open the skylight and say something bright!"

"What the Crown Prince asks is to inherit the Grand Duchy of the Southern Liang Dynasty and ascend the throne and become emperor!"

"And what I want is to replace Jing Tianlie in the Great Zhou Dynasty and become a powerful minister!"

"I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help me kill Li Yuanying and then help me defeat Jing Tianlie. From then on, you will be the Emperor of Daliang and I will be the powerful minister of the Great Zhou, and we will each take what we need."

"If the cooperation is pleasant, we can also secretly communicate with the music style. I will support you in the Great Zhou."

"This is my suggestion, can you please give me some good words!"

Long Chen threw out his ideas and waited for Li Chengtong's decision.

After listening to it, Li Chengtong thought for a long time and said, "There are a few questions, you must answer me truthfully."

Long Chen said, "Please tell me your Highness."

Li Chengtong asked: "First, what you want is to replace Jing Tianlie?"

Long Chen replied: "Yes, I just want to become a powerful minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and become a superior person!"

Li Chengtong asked: "Then why have you been attacking my Daliang?"

Long Chen immediately replied: "How can I be promoted if I don't make military achievements? How can I control military power? How can I replace Jing Tianlie?"

Li Chengtong thought about it in his mind and felt that what Long Chen said was good.

Li Chengtong asked, "Don't you hate me?"

Long Chen laughed and said, "Why do I hate you? You and I have no grudges and grudges, and I just want to make contributions."

Li Chengtong asked suspiciously: "You are from the Long Family Army, and you and I have a deep feud."

Long Chen laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the Crown Prince also believed in this kind of rumor. I can tell the Crown Prince that I have no connection with the Long Family Army!"

Li Chengtong had no real evidence, he just wanted to cheat.

"Okay, why did you ask me to kill Li Yuanying instead of asking Li Yuanying to kill me together?"

The question Li Chengtong asked was very sharp.

Long Chen can join forces with Li Chengtong or Li Yuanying, but Long Chen finds Li Chengtong, which makes him feel strange.

Long Chen said, "Simple! First, I have a grudge with Li Yuanying. This guy wants to kill me in Qianjiang County. Speaking of this, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for helping him. If you hadn't sent the letter, I would have been poisoned to death."

Li Chengtong said coldly: "There is no need to mention this matter!"

Long Chen continued: "Second, Li Yuanying will not agree to cooperate with me. If he wants to seize the position of prince, he must use my head to seek me."

"And Your Highness the Crown Prince is different. You don't need my head. As long as you kill Li Yuanying, the position of the Crown Prince will be stable."

"The enemy of His Highness the Crown Prince is not me, but Li Yuanying, who is the one who threatens your throne."

"We have a common enemy, so I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to cooperate, not Li Yuanying."

Li Chengtong nodded slightly and agreed with Long Chen's explanation.

Li Chengtong shook his head and said, "No, if you tell him that you can kill me, he will cooperate with you."

As long as Li Chengtong is killed, Li Yuanying can also hold the position of crown prince. This condition is very tempting.

Long Chen sneered: "Then you have to have a handle. I have the handle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so you have to cooperate with me."

"Li Yuanying is different. I have no handle and I can't let him cooperate with me."

When Li Chengtong heard this, he was so angry that he was half angry.

Long Chen was telling the truth, but the truth was too harsh.

"Third, you threaten me with Qianjiang County's handle today. Will you continue to use this to threaten me from now on?"

Li Chengtong was pinched by Long Chen and had to meet tonight.

He didn't want to be held hostage by Long Chen all the time and become a puppet at mercy.
