Li Jie didn't come to Chang'an with the rest of Dahe Longmen, which made Zhang Dongyun a little regretful.

If there is a subordinate of the Ninth Realm, he wants to do a lot of things, and it will be simple.

Before the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty, there were only three Ninth Realm cultivators, and Li Jie was the fourth.

With his personal protection, even if City Lord Zhang leaves the Invincible City in person and goes out for a walk, he doesn't have to worry.

It's a pity that now City Lord Zhang still continues to live in the city.

There is another person who also deeply regrets Li Jie's matter.

That is the current ruler of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Tang King Li Xuanxin.

let Li Jie slip away, and got the news that his son Li Yi and others were also wiped out.

This made Tang Wang feel very uncomfortable.

While ordering the class teacher to return to the court, he also ordered relevant people to focus on collecting information from Chang'an, Qingyunguan and White Horse Academy.

"Even Gao Yu ......" Li Dong, the old prince who walked with King Tang, was stunned when he heard the news.

Tang Wang's tone couldn't hear the emotion: "Nine times out of ten, Li Yi did it." ”

When the old prince Li Dong heard this, he was silent.

He naturally heard the rumors that Gao Yu was the illegitimate son of King Tang.

Why did Li Yi kill Gao Yu, the reason is self-evident.

This kind of thing, the old prince didn't want to get involved, so he could only be silent.

Fortunately, Tang Wang didn't mean to ask him for his opinion.

On the way back to Luyang City, the royal capital, news and intelligence from all sides came back one after another.

"The Situ family, the Zheng family, the Forgotten Truth, and the Jingyue Building, all ordered people to go to pacify. ”

Tang Wang calmly ordered: "Qingyun Temple, White Horse Academy, bring gifts to Qingye Zhenren and Dean Hong." ”

The team that was wiped out under Chang'an City this time, in addition to interests, was all the master of one side.

They were trapped in Chang'an, announcing that the four major forces of the Situ family, the Zheng family, the Forget the True Temple, and the Jingyue Tower, all had no leader.

This kind of time is the most unstable and dangerous time for the four families.

Strictly speaking, except for the Situ family, the other three forces were not closely related to the Eastern Tang royal family in the past.

Right now, it seems that it is an opportunity to take the opportunity to eliminate the subjugation, so that all the autonomous domains will be completely under the control of the Eastern Tang royal family.

But there is a big threat to Chang'an City, and King Tang can only take gentle measures at this moment.

After all, these four families all followed him as the leader of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and attacked Dahe Longmen and Chang'an.

Now that the leaders of the families have fallen, the Eastern Tang royal family must appease them and help them defend against possible foreign enemies.

Only in this way can the Eastern Tang royal family continue to unite other forces in the territory and deal with Chang'an City again.

Now if you forget the true view, Jingyue Tower, and the Zheng family knife in the back, other famous families and wealthy families will inevitably have no ideas in their hearts.

"The old minister obeyed. ”

Out of the royal capital Luyang City, Lu Meng, the Eastern Tang Dynasty Xiangguo who rushed to pick him up, bowed his head and said, "The old minister will arrange it." ”

Qingyunguan and the White Horse Academy gave the same statement.

Hong Xiao, the dean of the White Horse Academy, was intercepted by a mysterious Confucian master outside the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so he failed to rush to Chang'an.

Qingyun Guanguan Master Qingye Daoren also claimed that the road was blocked by a mysterious Taoist master, and he failed to meet Li Yi and others in Qinzhou Mansion, and even lost his own junior brother Huangye Daoren.

Although both said that the opponent was mysterious, and they couldn't see the details of the battle in a short time, the meaning of the words was all implied that Chang'an City was supported by forces other than the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Even, this may be the nail that other dynasties have nailed in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

No one knows what the truth is.

Because all the people who went to the vicinity of Chang'an to inquire about the news disappeared and there was no news.

I don't know how Chang'an City screened out all the experienced spies, and none of them were missed.

The rhetoric of Qingyunguan and White Horse Academy is difficult to verify, and only news indicates that two major wars have indeed broken out outside Longbei County.

On one side, two Confucian masters competed, and on the other hand, two Taoist masters competed.

However, because the battle was too fierce and the level of the two sides was too high, ordinary people did not dare to approach, so it was difficult to confirm the details.

The Eastern Tang royal family had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it first, and sent someone to visit Hong Xiao and Qingye Zhenren.

King Tang returned all the way back to the royal capital Luyang City, and the prince Li Hong and others hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the car.

"Where are Hu Yinghua and the others?" asked King Tang back in the palace.

"All of them are in custody and ready for arraignment. At the same time, Li Hong, the prince of the world, replied, and ordered someone to bring all the key members of the Hu family to him.

Hu Yinghua and others were taken to the main hall, and their bodies were full of torture instruments, but there were few scars.

They were not tortured in prison.

When they were captured before, on the one hand, there were internal ghosts in the family, and they were joined by the enemy, and on the other hand, the strength of Li Hong and others was already above Hu Yinghua and other Hu family members, so everyone in the Hu family was quickly taken down.

Facing King Tang at this moment, Hu Yinghua looked calm: "Your Majesty, to this day, Hu has nothing to say, just wants to die quickly." ”

"The Chen family defected to Chang'an, although I was angry, but at least I knew what they were thinking, and I was confused about what you did to the Hu Qing family. King Tang looked at Hu Yinghua below.

Hu Yinghua's tone was indifferent: "The king is pretending to be confused, my Hu family has been a man with his tail between his legs in recent years, and he finally didn't get hit by the king's butcher's knife."

However, the family's development space is limited, not only can it not leave Chaohe County, but even Chaohe's ancestral industry is squeezed by the king's royal order.

Hu wanted to seek some heavenly treasures to recuperate his qi and blood to impact the eighth realm, but he was also stuck by the king.

In the long run, the butcher's knife will fall one day, right?

With such a panicked day, Hu naturally didn't want to live it. ”

King Tang didn't get angry, but asked lightly: "Chang'an, let your Hu family continue to sit big?"

"At least, more forgiving than the king. Hu Yinghua said.

What he said was true, but the most important reason for defecting to Chang'an was not mentioned.

He was shocked by the strength of Chang'an.

Between the Eastern Tang Dynasty and Chang'an, Hu Yinghua bet on Chang'an to win.

But he doesn't mention it at the moment.

The more Tang Wang underestimated Chang'an, the more he couldn't figure out the reality of Chang'an, the better.

Tell him that Chang'an is strong, and he will not spare the Hu family because he is afraid of Chang'an, but will only be annoyed and angry on the spot.

"Stubborn, innocent, your head can warn the people of the world. Li Hong, the prince of the world, said coldly beside him.

Tang Wang waved his hand: "I'm not busy, I'm more tolerant than Hu Qing's family thinks." ”

He said to the big Nema manager on the side, "Take it down." ”

Chief Manager Ma received the order and took Hu Yinghua and others down to be re-detained.

"The minister has trespassed, please forgive my father. Li Hong, the prince of the world, bowed and said.

"It doesn't matter. ”

King Tang shook his head: "After taking them down, take good care of them, they should be tried, but no one will die." ”

"Yes, Father. Li Hong pondered.

Tang Wang glanced at him: "The Hu family is just defecting to Chang'an, and their lives can't be controlled by Chang'an." ”

"Father means ......," Li Hong realized.

"Let's see if we can get a few people back. Tang Wang said: "People don't necessarily die. ”

"Second brother and fourth brother. Li Hong nodded.

Tang Wang shook his head: "Let's see how they are injured." ”

"Yes, Father. Li Hong understood.

"Prepare for the Qincha, go to Longbei County, and negotiate peace with Chang'an. Tang Wang said.

Li Hong was ordered to retreat.

He knew that King Tang, who had never been able to rub sand in his eyes, didn't really want to negotiate peace with Chang'an.

That's just a gesture to confuse the enemy.

Li Yi and others planted a big heel this time and suffered heavy losses, but they did not completely hurt the foundation of the Eastern Tang royal family.

The Zheng family, Jingyue Tower, and the concept of forgetting the truth are not the basic plates of the royal family.

The royal family, Bai Hongfeng, Songyang Academy, and Qingfu Palace are these places.

And, of course, the Cheng family.

This time, the loss of the Eastern Tang royal family, to a certain extent, can be said to be a unilateral loss of Li Yi, the king of Muping County.

Whether it's him, or his maternal family, the Situ family.

In addition, as long as the Tang King himself is still there, the Eastern Tang royal family will not be able to cross it.

The war potential of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was still extremely huge.

However, they can't fight with Chang'an with one mind.

Qingyunguan and White Horse Academy are still there.

If the two of them can fight to the death with Chang'an first, that is the most happy thing for the royal family.

Of course, there are difficulties involved......

When the prince Li Hong left the palace, a tall young man happened to come to him on the road.

"Murong, have you returned to Beijing?" Li Hong saw the other party and asked first.

"See His Royal Highness. The person came to salute: "The lower official was ordered to return to Beijing and meet the king." ”

"I have heard about the matter of the High Pavilion Lord, and I deeply regret it. ”

Li Hong comforted the other party: "Father Wang Han will not blame you for this, summoning you to the Beijing Saint, it should be for the errand of Mingguang Pavilion." ”

"Your Majesty understands, thank you, Your Highness. He saluted again, took his leave, and went to the palace.

In the palace, King Tang retreated left and right, watching the tall young man come to him.

"At this moment, I can't be sure if you were really born as a baby, or if you killed my son and replaced him with a bag, just like now?"

King Tang looked at the "Murong Pavilion" below.

"Murong Ting" smiled slightly: "You are too worried." ”

He unbuttoned his shirt.

On the blank skin on his chest, two cracks suddenly appeared, crossed into a "ten" shape, and blood gushed out of them, but it seemed to be bound by something, and did not leave his body.

"Even if I was reincarnated, this scar would have been with me, and if I hadn't been reincarnated, I would have died a long time ago. The young man sighed slightly.

King Tang asked, "Then now, how should I treat you?"

"I just want a place to stay, so that the enemy will not find out, and I will be satisfied if I can continue to be in Mingguang Pavilion. ”

In the tone of "Murong Ting", it seemed to show weakness.

As he spoke, the two cracks on his chest crossed in the shape of a "ten", and the flesh and blood squirmed and healed again.

His skin was restored to a slew finish, and it looked like a hallucination from the injury he had just had.

"After so many years of working together, I believe in you. Tang Wang said indifferently.

Murong Ting smiled: "I don't dare to cooperate, I should thank the king for his protection and help the king with some small favors in return." ”

Tang Wang said: "Mingguang Pavilion, the next thing is to hand over to Murong Pavilion." ”

The young man's demeanor changed, such as the ministers meeting the king: "The minister Murong Ting obeys the order, and the king is grateful for Longen." ”

"What do you think of Chang'an?" asked Tang Wang.

Murong Ting said: "Although the rhetoric of Qingyunguan and White Horse Academy is not full of untruths, the minister agrees with one of their statements, Chang'an, it should be created by someone other than the Tang Dynasty. ”

King Tang's expression remained unchanged: "Northern Yan?"

"At this point, the minister cannot be sure. Murong Ting replied.

Tang Wang looked at him: "It's because I haven't seen the city on the spot, and I haven't dealt with the people inside, right?"

Murong Ting nodded: "The king has seen thousands of miles. ”

King Tang stared at him closely: "With your cultivation strength, you should be able to secretly explore the details of that city, right?"

Murong Ting smiled bitterly: "The king overestimates Wei Chen. ”

"How dare you, I'm afraid I'm underestimating you. ”

King Tang looked serious: "You don't dare to go, don't you have ...... Where are the masters above the Nine Realms?"

"I'm not sure about that. Murong Ting replied: "But if you want to try out its depth, I am afraid that the minister will expose his identity and attract enemies, so as to ask the king to understand the hardships of the ministers." ”

Tang Wang exhaled softly: "Confidants don't know who they are, this can't be done." ”

Murong Ting said: "At this point, please rest assured that the king.

Although the minister didn't know why Hong Xiao of the White Horse Academy retreated, with his temperament, he would go to Chang'an again sooner or later.

At that time, we can take the opportunity to see how many catties and taels there are in Chang'an. ”

Tang Wang asked: "What if Hong Xiao is defeated?"

"Hong Xiao is defeated, it doesn't mean that you will be defeated. Murong Ting said: "With Hong Xiao consuming the other party, the king can take the initiative later." ”

Li Xuanxin, the king of Tang, is a king who really fights the world immediately.

Before Li Jie of the Great River Dragon Gate revealed his true strength this time, the Eastern Tang Dynasty only had three Ninth Realm cultivators: the Tang King, the Qingyun Guan Lord, and the Dean of the White Horse Academy.

But in fact, just a few years ago, there was more than that.

At that time, the top forces in the Eastern Tang Dynasty were still "four courts, four daos, seven factions and nine families".

But now, a large academy, two major schools, and three major families, including the Chen family, have all become history.

The masters of the Ninth Realm that King Tang personally killed were three people, including the former head of the Ling Xiao faction.

However, at this moment, in the face of Murong Ting's praise, King Tang had no joy on his face, and just quietly looked at the young man in front of him.

"When the time comes, pull up the Qingye real person, and the micro-minister will sacrifice his life to accompany the king, and fight Chang'an with the king. Murong Ting said.

"With Aiqing's best to help, God blesses the Tang Dynasty. Tang Wang said slowly.

"The king has won an award, but the minister does not dare to be it. Murong Ting smiled and bowed his head.
