111. Surrender one by one

Mountain chief Li Zhibin died in the battle of Tingshan.

Taking advantage of the opportunity he won after the break, the people of the academy successfully broke out of the encirclement.

However, the Eastern Tang Dynasty immediately dispatched troops to chase and intercept them.

Under the leadership of Dean Wan Li, the students of the college traveled all the way to the northwest, breaking through many dangers and obstacles, and suffered heavy casualties.

Xu Xingzhi, who heard the wind in Chang'an City, hurriedly asked Mr. Wuyun for his life and took someone out of the city to answer.

Thanks to their timely arrival, they were able to bring the people of Tingshan Academy, who were once again besieged, back to Chang'an.

Wan Li, Li Jun and others almost survived, as if they were in another world.

Hearing the news of Li Zhibin's martyrdom, Xu Xingzhi lost half of his division and was saddened.

He cheered up and arranged for Wan Li and others to stay.

The arrival of the students of Tingshan Academy, in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City, most of them did not have any special reaction.

But in the eyes of another person, the mood is extremely entangled.

"Do you regret it?"

In the Tianshu Palace, Mr. Wuyun's expression was indifferent.

The Taoist priest in front of him is a master who forgets the truth and holds the Taoist.

In addition to him, the master of the view, the top master of forgetting the truth is almost the end of the pot in Ancheng.

Zhichen Dao was angry in his heart, but he was helpless.

After the Purple Sun Old Demon, Li Tang and others were also wiped out in Chang'an City, and the Cangye Dao people of Qingyun Temple were also planted, the minds of the people who held the dust Dao changed faintly.

He had to admit that the forces of Chang'an were even more above his forgetfulness.

It is impossible to succeed if you only want to take revenge and save people.

It must rely on the strength of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Qingyunguan, and White Horse Academy.

But those people are not easy to deal with.

Working with them is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

In particular, Li Xuanxin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, has been suppressing the major forces in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, either attacking or co-opting.

Unless the Eastern Tang Dynasty royal family, Qingyunguan and other places are also defeated by Chang'an, after the fall of Chang'an City, those people turn their heads, I am afraid that it is time to deal with the Forgetting Truth.

This made the Dust Daoist extremely entangled.

When they learned that Elder Yunchen, Tang Chi, Xie Zhao and others were not killed, but were all imprisoned in Chang'an City, the minds of the people who held the dust changed again.

They forget the truth, and the relationship with the Eastern Tang Dynasty royal family, Qingyunguan and other places is not very good......

Or, simply bowing his head to Chang'an City, he has more hope of redeeming Elder Yunchen and the others.

After thinking about it for a long time, the people who held the dust secretly contacted Chang'an, and finally had today's trip and came to Chang'an secretly.

Zhang Dongyun didn't find fault this time, and detained the master of forgetting the truth.

Although that would mean putting the concept of forgetting the truth in one pot, it will form a vacuum in the original sphere of influence of the concept of forgetting the truth.

At present, the number of masters who are determined to be loyal to Chang'an is still limited, and it is not suitable for expatriation.

If he sincerely surrenders, then he can be used as a subordinate branch of Chang'an first.

Of course, the amount of guardian quest experience required for the fourth upgrade and expansion is enough, which is also one of the reasons why the Dust Keeper is spared.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for a certain city lord surnamed Zhang to control himself and not take down the seven hundred points of experience that Bai sent to the door.

Mr. Projection Wuyun dealt with the people who held the dust, one was willing to surrender, the other was willing to accept, and the two sides chatted, but there was a bit of a taste of joy for the guests and hosts.

And at this moment, the news came that everyone in Tingshan Academy had fled and taken refuge.

The propaganda of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was eradicated because of the collusion between Tingshan Academy and Chang'an.

Hearing this news, the person who held the dust suddenly felt a little congested.

As soon as Forget Zhenguan planned to bow his head to Chang'an, the Eastern Tang royal family began to drastically cut off Chang'an's allies, and everyone really cooperated tacitly.

At this moment, in the face of Mr. Wuyun's question, the person who held the dust and regained his calm: "How could it be? Since the decision has been made, the whole view will not regret it. ”

He met the gaze of the speechless little Nanasheng: "Poor Dao is just a little worried, after the news comes out, it may lead to Dongtang making a move, and now the Benguan Mountain Gate is empty, and Poor Dao needs to rush back as soon as possible." ”

Mr. Wuyun smiled indifferently: "If you are really worried, today's trip can be kept secret, as long as no one leaks the secret of the disciples in the temple, the old man guarantees that no one will know about it." ”

The Dust Keeper was surprised.

The other party was so open-minded, which was beyond his expectations.

It is very different from Chang'an's strong and almost arrogant style in the past.

It's so easy to talk about this matter, why don't you have to open your mouth in other aspects?

"Mr. cares about this view, and he is grateful. The dust-holding Daoist looked at each other and said in a cautious tone.

Mr. Wuyun looked at him and smiled dumbly: "There are no other requirements, for those who serve Chang'an, Your Majesty has always been tolerant, but ......"

The smile on the face of the old man in black disappeared: "If there is an important moment in the future, Daoist friends will have to hold on to it." ”

If the person who holds the dust Dao has realized, he nodded with a slightly heavy heart: "Sir, please rest assured, the poor Dao is talented, and there is no lie, since the top and bottom of this view have made a decision, they will not go to the end of the day." ”

"So, for the best. A faint smile resurfaced on Mr. Cloud's face.

"Please say hello to Your Majesty. The person who held the dust got up, said goodbye to Mr. Wuyun, and then left the city and Chang'an.

When this forgetful contemplation master left Chang'an, the helmsman of another big force in the Eastern Tang Dynasty staggered with him and visited Chang'an.

"Uncle, from here, enter the inner city of Chang'an. ”

Hu Ming said softly.

An old man in front of him, wearing a cloak and hood, folded himself up, nodded: "There are fireworks in some worlds. ”

"Uncle, please. Hu Ming led the way.

Hu Yinghua, the contemporary patriarch of the Hu family, walked while looking at the buildings on the left and right.

Generally speaking, the current buildings in Chang'an City are still relatively sparse, and they are not as prosperous as Luyang City, the capital of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

However, most of the people here are enthusiastic and vibrant.

"There are now eight main roads in the city, eight main roads in the east and west, and twenty-four branch roads. ”

Hu Ming's figure was also shrouded in a black robe, and he introduced Hu Yinghua as he walked: "The center of the city is the Tianshu Hall and other important places, with this as the center, roughly distributed in all directions. ”

"We entered from the north gate, and Chang'an Academy was in the north of the city, and Mr. He, whom I mentioned to you earlier, was there. ”

Hu Ming paused slightly: "Mr. He has always been mysterious, but as far as I know so far, he should not be from the He family in Yuning." ”

Hu Yinghua bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

"The academy is surrounded by farmland, and the inner city is self-sufficient in grain and rice most of the time. ”

Hu Ming continued: "There is a mountain forest in the south of the city, which is a quiet place, and there is also a branch of the academy, which was previously presided over by Xu Xingzhi, who was born in the White Horse Academy, and now Xu Xingzhi has gone to Chang'an East City.

The eastern and western cities, you should have heard of them, they are surrounded by houses.

The mountains to the southeast are where the mining area is located.

On the southwest side, there is also a community of dwellings, but the residents gathered there are relatively special. ”

Hu Ming said slowly: "It was the place where the Tang army soldiers lived in the early days, and before that, with a large number of soldiers and their families were relocated to Chang'an, some of the Tang army soldiers there were scattered and moved to live between the inner city and the outer city, open up mountain fields, or plant trees and cultivate forests. ”

Hu Yinghua's footsteps paused slightly, looking at the distant peaks.

Hu Ming continued: "The northeast, which was originally more prosperous, was a small town, and it was there that there were merchants and merchants at the foot of the mountain earlier.

The largest restaurant in the city, which is run by a disciple of the Hanshan faction of Qinzhou Mansion, is also over there.

Later, the inner city of Chang'an was expanded for the first time, and the town was expanded to the city, which was very prosperous for a while, until the establishment of Dongxifang City, where it declined a little, but it was still lively, and there were many shops.

The northwest side is a garden pond, where the meat, eggs, milk and fish that were first supplied to Chang'an were all there, and later the inner city was expanded and also expanded. ”

Hu Yinghua suddenly asked: "The city wall will move and expand by itself, do you really believe in this kind of thing?"

The nephew believed. ”

Hu Ming smiled slightly: "Although my nephew has not witnessed the spectacular scene of the expansion of the inner city, he has seen with his own eyes the hundreds of miles of the outer city wall, rising from the ground and appearing out of thin air, like a miracle. ”

Hu Yinghua nodded silently, and fell silent again.

After a while, he spoke again: "Tell the old man about the situation inside and outside the city, aren't you afraid that the master of Chang'an will blame you?"

Hu Ming shook his head with a smile: "I believe that with the wisdom of the uncle, he will be able to make the right decision, and he will not make it difficult for my nephew to be caught in the middle." ”

Hu Yinghua said: "There is no need to be in a dilemma, the family is expelled from the door, Chang'an takes in and shelters, and remembers that the family is nostalgic for the old feelings, but if you want to make a choice, there is no doubt about choosing Chang'an, and there is no need to hesitate." ”

Hu Ming wanted to speak, but Hu Yinghua stopped him: "I should have heard about the matter of Tingshan Academy, right?"

"Yes, my nephew already knows. Hu Ming said in a deep voice: "But my nephew still asked my uncle to make a decision as soon as possible, and the family moved to Chang'an, what we lost today, we will definitely get more tomorrow." ”

He pointed to the majestic city walls around him: "Just look at the great efforts of such a majestic city to be erected in this barren mountain and wilderness, and you will know who belongs to Chang'an Dongtang in the future!"

Hu Yinghua narrowed his eyes.

At this time, a truck passed by the road and drove towards Chang'an West City.

It was Jin Fugui who took his caravan back to Chang'an after doing research.

A merchant who knew him happened to be out of the city, and when he saw him, he raised his voice and shouted: "Brother Jin has any big business, take care of the younger brother." ”

Jin Fugui stopped: "Small business, transport some silk." ”

The other party was curious: "Isn't there silkworm farmers and weavers in Chang'an?"

"I've seen it, the silk and satin materials here are still a little rough, and although the silkworm seeds are good, the weavers' skills are limited. ”

Jin Fugui looked at his convoy next to him: "So I specially transported some fine Tiannan silk, now there are more and more rich people and cultivators in Chang'an, and there should be a market." ”

The other party was overjoyed: "Brother Jin is really a good vision, he deserves to be rich." ”

Jin Fugui smiled bitterly: "The last bit of savings to fight this shop, if I lose, I will go bankrupt." ”

"It's a good deal, I can't lose it, but unfortunately I didn't expect it. The merchant's face suddenly changed slightly: "But Tiannan County is far away from here, and there is a Dongtang sentry card on the road, Brother Jin's road is not smooth, right?"

Jin Fugui's eyes lit up: "I almost died, but I believe that this Chang'an City can make me turn over, I even picked up my wife and children, and I started again from here!"

"It's hard to say what the future holds. The other party sighed.

Jin Fugui said resolutely: "I don't know anything else, I can only settle accounts, just building these two inner and outer cities in the deep mountains of Longling, it will require a huge amount of money and silver, which seems to be a waste, but in fact it reveals full confidence." ”

Hu Yinghua and Hu Ming's uncle and nephew watched quietly and watched the two businessmen say goodbye and leave.

"Uncle?" Hu Ming looked at the helmsman of the Hu family in front of him.

Hu Yinghua let out a sigh: "Let's go, Chang'an City Lord, I'm afraid the old man won't have a chance to see him, let's go to the Tianshu Hall as mentioned and ask to see that Mr. Wuyun." ”
