23. Life, lonely as snow
General Xuanwu, who has always been moody, although his expression has not changed at this moment, his eyes keep flashing.
He looked at the token in his hand and was silent for a long time.
The adjutant general next to him was surprised when he saw this.
After seeing the appearance of the token and the word "Mingguang" engraved on it, the deputy general was as stunned as Du Kun.
"The tokens of the people in the Dark Pavilion?" the lieutenant general said, "Why did they get involved?"
Du Kun didn't speak, his expression returned to calm, put away the token, and read the secret report of his subordinates.
After reading it, he frowned slightly: "When you were clearing those anti-thieves and rebels, did you accidentally find the token?"
Du Kun carried his hands behind his back and stood like a mountain.
After a while, he suddenly ordered in a low voice: "Loosen a gap in the encirclement, let some thieves escape, and deal with them later." ”
The deputy general was shocked: "General, there are people in the dark pavilion who are active in Longbei County, and it is likely that they are coming for you."
If you let go of those thieves now, won't you give people a handle and let the people of the Secret Court wronged you?"
"How could it be that General Ben went away against the thieves?" Du Kun's expression was calm, and he took out the token engraved with "Mingguang" and raised it: "It is clear that he is a person in the secret cabinet, with bad intentions, fornicating with thieves, and single-handedly causing this civil unrest. ”
The deputy general suddenly calmed down quickly: "But general, only such a token is probably not enough to win the trust of the king, and His Royal Highness the Prince is not good at speaking for you." ”
Du Kun's tone did not fluctuate: "Yifan, and Gao Qi, but they were all killed by them." ”
The adjutant general was stunned for a moment: "General, what do you mean to drive those chaotic people to Longling in the north, and connect them with the dark pavilion and that city?"
Du Kun came to the map again and looked down at the map: "Otherwise, why do you think General Ben said that the Secret Pavilion has bad intentions and is disloyal to the king?"
The adjutant general bowed his head: "The last general understands." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, naturally, you have to notify in advance. Du Kun prepared pen and paper, wrote a secret letter, and handed it to the deputy general.
After the other party left, the bronze-skinned general stood in the camp tent, and his eyes fell on the area around the southern foot of the Longling Mountains on the map.
Thinking of his only son, Du Kun's eyes showed anger......
In the dense forest of Longling, which he was worried about, Bai Yunyuan returned to his former calm.
The blockade under the mountain is getting tighter and tighter, and the Hanshan faction takes the risk of transporting personnel and materials to the mountain, and its own situation begins to become more and more difficult.
The news sent back by the same gate in Chang'an City continued to strengthen the confidence of the people of the Hanshan faction, so that they simply pressed to the end on this big bet that had already been betn.
Baiyunyuan, in dozens of acres of fields outside Chang'an City, harvest again and again.
The granary in the city was gradually filled, and the city lord Zhang Da saw it in his eyes and felt comfortable in his heart.
His center of gravity began to shift to the side of cotton and linen.
Food, clothing, food, clothing, in addition to eating and wearing.
From the perspective of processing, "wearing" is more troublesome than "eating".
Thanks to the Hanshan faction's roots in Qinzhou Mansion, they were able to resist the blockade of the Tang army and collect weavers to send them to the mountain.
However, the number is always limited in a short period of time, and everyone has to work overtime.
Seeing that the reserves of various materials, grain and grass in the city were gradually enriched, Zhang Dongyun could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
These days, most of his energy is spent on irrigating various fields and engaging in production, and he is somewhat neglecting his own cultivation.
The countdown of invincible time, minute by minute, is always passing.
Zhang Dongyun returned to Daming Palace and continued his martial arts practice.
The Tang army soldiers and the Hanshan faction in the city have basically obeyed now.
After returning to the city, the Tang army, who was farming outside the city, talked to other colleagues about the changes in the fields, which made everyone feel incredible.
But when they saw it all, everyone was stunned.
Everyone is honest at the moment, contributing to Chang'an City, and it is no longer necessary for Zhang Dongyun to turn into an old man in black to keep an eye on it.
What's more, even if there is chaos in the city, Zhang Dongyun can detect it as soon as possible with the help of the system and prevent it from happening.
Until......

The sun and the moon alternate, late one night.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dacheng Lord was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his head.
"Thunderbolt Sect Elder Wu Qiong?"
Zhang Dongyun didn't open his eyes.
But a picture already came to his mind.
A man in black was quietly crossing the city wall of Chang'an and turning into the city.
The other party did not take a loud action, but cautiously, hid his tracks, and explored Chang'an City at night.
The man in black slipped down quietly against the city wall.
As soon as he landed against the wall, before the person could stand firmly, a piercing "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
At the same time, more than a dozen round pillars of light, lit up at the same time from all directions, converged on him.
The man in black was so startled that he almost gave up on his feet and sat down by the wall.
Zhang Dongyun incarnated as an old man in black, Shi Shiran walked out.
He is quite satisfied with the anti-escape mode of the prison simulated under his bad taste.
It's a pity that only he knows this stalk, and it's a little lonely.
Life is really lonely like snow......
However, the high-pitched, long-pitched siren sound can do the same thing everywhere.
And all the people who were encamped and resting in the city were awakened.
Everyone walked out in surprise, and then looked at the foot of the city wall.
There, the man in black had nothing to hide, frightened and embarrassed.
When Gao Qi and the others in the city saw it, they were surprised and awe-inspiring.
The longer people stay in this city, the more extraordinary they feel.
Although it is not possible to attack on the surface, it seems that it is also a dream to sneak in quietly behind the scenes.
The people who were gradually subdued, from this moment on, did not dare to think carefully in their hearts.
"Everyone, go back to your room. The old man in black coughed dryly.
The crowd faded away.
The black-clad masked man at the foot of the city wall couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.
The old man on the other side had a pair of cold eyes, as if he could directly see through his heart.
"Under the ......," the man wanted to speak, but a black mist suddenly appeared in front of him.
The next moment, he was engulfed in black mist, and his whole body couldn't move, and he couldn't even bend his little fingers.
The whole person, only the face was exposed outside the black mist, and the masked black cloth disappeared automatically, revealing a face.
Zhang Dongyun put his hands behind his back and walked in front of the other party.
Rather than interrogating this person, there was another thing that pleased him even more.
