"Is this dead?"

"Still alive. Still breathing."

"Cut or not?"

"Once you step into a clean room, there's no avoiding being cut. Where is your professional ethics?"

"Alright, Lao Wu, here's this one for you. I'm going to get some drinks."

Long Chen lay on a board, the surrounding lines a little dim. Hearing a sound, he forcefully opened his eyelids and found that the ground beneath him was icy cold.

Wow!

A ladleful of hot water was splashed on him, and Long Chen shivered with a jolt, completely waking up.

"Where am I? Who tied my hands and feet?"

Long Chen struggled, discovering that his hands and feet were bound by four iron rings.

"Stop struggling, you've been sold here. We paid six ounces of silver, and from now on, you belong to the palace."

"My knife is sharp, it won't hurt."

Long Chen looked up and saw a tall man with no beard, holding a sickle-like knife in his hand. He walked towards Long Chen, the blade about to descend.

"Knife smith? Are you from the qingfang?"

Long Chen, having read ancient history, immediately understood his situation. This was a nursery, the place in the palace where eunuchs were born.

"Oh? Finally understand? Don't be afraid, being an eunuch in the palace is better than dying outside."

Saying that, the knife smith was about to make a move.

Just crossed over, and my life is gone? Long Chen roared angrily: "You bastard, you dare cut me open? I'll never let you get away with this!"

The knifemaker ignored Long Chen's curses and efficiently disinfected the knife.

Hum

A wave of dizziness came over him, a tidal wave of information flooding his brain. In an instant, Long Chen understood the meaning behind it all.

This master is also Long Chen, the fifth son of Long Ye, the general who guards the country in Nan Liang.

The Great General who Guards the Nation has protected Southern Liang for two hundred years. He is the pillar of the country, generation after generation guarding the borders and fighting on the battlefields for the nation.

But when it came to the Longye generation, the Southern Liang capital of Jinling suddenly appeared with an oracle: "The dragon rises from the wild, and the world returns as one!"

Emperor Li Chengdao of Southern Liang thought that this sentence should be bestowed upon General Zhen Guo Longye, so he colluded with the Western Xia and northern barbarian tribes and set a trap on Bai Lang Mountain.

100,000 Dragon Clan soldiers were killed in action, General Long Ye, the national guardian, died in battle, and all four of his sons perished. Only his fifth son, Long Chen, survived with serious injuries.

After the fact, Emperor Li Chengdao falsely accused Long Ye of colluding with barbarians and executed all 90+ members of the Long family, including their three clans.

Long Chen escaped the battlefield but was burned by the raging fire, his appearance completely changed and his martial arts skills lost, leaving him a cripple.

For more than a year, Longchen wandered to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but was caught by a bully and sold into the palace as an eunuch.

The hatred of destroying a family and clan surged relentlessly in his mind. The tragic scene of his father and brother's death flashed repeatedly in his mind. Although Long Chen was a soul transmigrator, the intense hatred enveloped him completely.

"Dog thief! Li Chengdao! I will surely destroy Southern Liang! Slaughter the royal family! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Long Chen struggled violently, roaring furiously, his face contorted with bulging veins and bloodshot eyes, looking utterly terrifying.

The blacksmith was stunned. He stared intently at Long Chen, his hand suddenly trembled, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes.

"General, you are a general!"

Although his appearance had changed, the feeling was right. The knife smith immediately recognized Long Chen's true identity.

<<>>>

"Uncle Wu, how did you get here?"

Long Chen asked in surprise.

"Wu Jian said bitterly, "The Battle of Bai Lang Mountain was a trap set by the Emperor. Our cavalry fought bravely but I was shot and fell off a cliff. When I woke up, everyone was gone."

Wu Jian wept bitterly, wiping away his tears before continuing, "I tried to find the bodies of the elder and younger generals, but I was unsuccessful. Later, I learned that the elder general's head was made into a drinking cup by the Khitan Khan Yelu Hong. The heads of the four younger generals were taken by the Western Xia and used as ornaments in the Zhaoti Temple. Only the body of the general remains missing."

I thought about assassinating the dog emperor, but I was outnumbered and outgunned. Besides, I figured the general might still be alive, so I decided to play it safe for now.

"Heaven has eyes, I actually met a general today."

Hate surged again, Long Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Wu, rest assured, I will avenge the 100,000 brothers and my family's revenge!"

Wu Jian immediately removed the iron ring from Long Chen's hand, saying anxiously, "General, this is the Eastern Zhou imperial palace. You must leave quickly. You are the only remaining descendant of the Dragon Clan, you cannot become a eunuch.

As the only surviving heir of the Long family, how could Wu Jian possibly have emasculated Long Chen?

But Uncle Wu, if you let me go, what will you do?

"I have a way, nine deaths and one life remain, death by drowning is very common. I tell you, you didn't go through this knife, you died."

Wu Jian quickly dressed Long Chen, and just at this moment, someone walked in from outside the door. It was an old eunuch, followed by a young eunuch.

This old eunuch is Wei Xian, the superintendent of the imperial court of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"Wow, Lao Wu's knife is really sharp. It just finished cutting and the thing is already lively and kicking."

Manager Wei Xian looked at Long Chen, and said with a sigh.

Wu Jian was filled with regret, hating himself for not sending Long Chen away sooner.

This is the Eastern Zhou Imperial Court, with a multitude of martial arts masters. Charging in headfirst would be a sure path to death.

"The chief steward has praised me too highly. I have never even seen Steward Wei."

Long Chen bowed to Wei Xian, but he didn't bend over. He pretended to be in pain.

"I have met with Mr. Wei before, and in the future, I would like to ask Mr. Wei for more guidance."

Wei Xian smiled and said, "He's good-looking. After the surgery, his skin will be even better. He's a handsome lad."

"Send the person to the factory, this head should be able to hold on. Once it's done, I'll come back and see where they're sent."

The two young eunuchs led Long Chen to another courtyard's factory. This was where castrated eunuchs recuperated after the procedure.

If you can recover, you'll be a eunuch. If you can't hold on and die, it means you have bad luck, just throw you into the grave.

Wu Jian watched as Long Chen was taken away, but he was helpless.

Long Chen followed the young eunuch to the factory. Inside, there were ten or so people who had just been cut, some were alright, while others were barely clinging to life.

Long Chen lay down, pretending to be in pain, and tried his best not to speak.

Fifteen days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Long Chen also acts as if he has recovered.

A little eunuch walked in and said, "Xiao Longzi, come with me. Today, I'll take you to the West Palace to see Princess Si."

As the little eunuch spoke, a sneer flickered across his face. The other eunuchs in the room looked at Long Chen with pity.

Long Chen felt a sense of foreboding, something wasn't right. Could the Western Palace's fourth princess be a she-devil?

"Father-in-law, what kind of person is the Fourth Princess?"

Long Chen whispered a question.

The little eunuch said coldly, “The princess is certainly good, but her temper is a bit bad. When she’s unhappy, she kills people. She likes to kill eunuchs the most.”

Long Chen asked in a low voice, "How many have you killed?"

The little eunuch chuckled, "It's not much, only five this month."

Long Chen nodded and said, "Five a month isn't too much."

Long Chen walked among the crowd, killing many people. Because of this, he had no sense of guilt.

The little eunuch looked at Long Chen in astonishment and said, "You're bold! What day is it today?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "Where's the guts? It's only the second day of the new year."

OMG!

Five a day?
