"The sinner He Dongtao begged for his sins to Chang'an and hoped that Chang'an would forgive. ”

He Dongtao, the patriarch of the He family, bowed to Mr. Wuyun in the Tianshu Palace.

Next to him is He Zhen, the elder of the He family who was captured by Chang'an earlier.

Mr. Wuyun looked at the other party quietly: "Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, and anyone who is loyal to Chang'an and abides by Chang'an's rules, Chang'an can tolerate him." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Mr. Xie's grace. He Dongtao said respectfully.

Mr. Wuyun glanced at him: "The old man knows all the careful thoughts in your hearts, and it is best to put them all away."

Your Majesty's ambitions are heaven and earth, don't speculate on his old man's ambitions, understand?"

He Dongtao and He Zhen moved in unison, and while thinking about it, they saluted Mr. Wuyun again: "We are shallow, how dare we talk about Your Majesty." ”

"Yes, that's the best. ”

Mr. Wuyun said: "The Eastern Tang Dynasty, for Your Majesty, is not enough to worry about, the future head of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the meritorious person will live in it, understand?"

He Dongtao took a deep breath: "Mr. Xie mentions." ”

The same news also made Zhao Zhan, the head of the Zhao family, breathe a sigh of relief and ecstasy in his heart.

Yan Shi, the owner of the Mirror Moon Tower, who had already known this, looked calm, but the light of ambition shone in his pupils.

In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun nodded with satisfaction.

But what's even more satisfying is that the system keeps refreshing:

[Random Defend Mission 7.1 - Capture or Kill the Qingyunguan Purple Leaf Daoist who is the enemy of Chang'an]

[The city lord's subordinates kill the Purple Leaf Dao people who are enemies of Chang'an, complete the random defense task 7.1, and gain 500 points of upgrade experience]

[Random Defend Mission 7.2 - Capture or Kill Cheng Jingyuan of the Cheng Family who is an enemy of Chang'an]

[The city lord's subordinates captured Cheng Jingyuan, who was the enemy of Chang'an, and completed the random defense task 7.2, and obtained 500 points of upgrade experience]

[Random Defend Mission 7.3 - Capture or Kill Feng Wenhui, the Chief Teacher of Songyang Academy, who is the enemy of Chang'an]

[The city lord's subordinates killed Feng Wenhui, who was the enemy of Chang'an, completed the random defense task 7.3, and obtained 500 points of upgrade experience]

[Random Defend Mission 7.4 - Capture or Kill Tong Yun, Vice President of the White Horse Academy, who is the enemy of Chang'an]

[The city lord's subordinates killed Tong Yun, who was the enemy of Chang'an, completed the random defense task 7.4, and obtained 700 points of upgrade experience]

The continuous entry of 2,200 experience points made City Lord Zhang feel very good.

In addition to these newly triggered Defend missions, there are also previous Guardian missions:

[Random Guardian Mission 7.1 - Capture or Kill Tang King Li Xuanxin and Foggy Sky Peak Head Lin Ying who entered the city]

[The city lord successfully captured Li Xuanxin and Lin Ying, completed the random guardian task 7.1, and obtained 2,000 points of upgrade experience]

After two accumulations, there are already 4,200 experience points in this aspect of the guardian mission.

However, as Zhang Dongyun himself expected, the experience points required for the next seventh upgrade and expansion, whether it is a construction task or a guardian task, will need to be a full 10,000 points.

At present, there is still a long way to go!

Zhang Chengzhu's fingers gently rubbed his eyebrows.

The defense task is the same as the defense mission, and only the person with the highest cultivation strength of the opponent is counted.

Just like King Tang and Lin Ying, the two ninth realms, "eaten" the Tianyan Dao people and Cheng Qing and their four eighth realms.

On the side of the defense mission, it is also the leader of the high realm who "eats" the others.

Moreover, only four of them, Qingyunguan, Cheng Jia, Songyang Academy, and White Horse Academy, triggered the random defense mission.

In this way, it is still a bit difficult to trigger.

Or, need some finesse?

However, in any case, with this random defense mission, it is much easier to accumulate guardian experience points.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Dongyun's mouth.

............

When the Eastern Tang Dynasty was turbulent and the heavens and the earth changed, other surrounding dynasties were also deeply shaken.

The one with the deepest relationship is undoubtedly the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The Valley of Fire and Ice is destroyed.

A large number of people in Wutian Peak have fallen.

Among them even included Lin Ying, the head of the Ninth Realm.

Even the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty folded four masters into it.

Gao Tianxuan and Gao Tiansheng both have a very close relationship with King Qi and are his right-hand men.

Now that these two masters of the Eighth Realm are all folded outside, it will also have a huge impact on the strength of the Northern Qi royal family.

In addition to Gao Tiansheng and Gao Tianxuan, there are also Gao Zheng, the second son of King Qi, and Gao Jun, the sixth son, who also fell into Chang'an, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Yan Sheng, vice president of Shuofeng Academy, also had the same result.

The top masters of the entire Northern Qi Dynasty suffered heavy losses.

If the Northern Qi royal family had previously had the intention of using Chang'an to fight against famous factions such as Ice and Fire Valley and Fog Sky Peak, then now, they must unite everyone in the country to deal with the threat from the southwest.

The Eastern Tang Dynasty was replaced by the fall of Chang'an.

Who will be next?

"The south has changed, let's talk about it. ”

In the palace of King Qi, there are only four people at the moment.

In addition to King Qi himself, the remaining three are his eldest son Gao Ju, his third son Gao Zhao and fourth son Gao Zhong.

Previously, there were six people in the Northern Qi Dynasty vying for the position of prince.

Gao Zheng and Gao Jun were lost in Chang'an.

The fifth son of King Qi, who is also the descendant of the Valley of Ice and Fire, Gao Keng, is currently in the area of Xihai County, leading the army to compete with the masters of Chang'an for Xihai County.

When the Valley of Ice and Fire was robbed before, he was in the royal capital of Northern Qi, so he escaped the catastrophe.

Without the support of the Valley of Ice and Fire, his hopes of competing for the throne of the prince were greatly reduced.

At present, he had to take the initiative to ask for his life and lead the army to fight with Chang'an, on the one hand, in order to earn impression points in front of the King of Qi, and on the other hand, to protect himself.

Right now in the palace, Gao Ju, the eldest son of King Qi, spoke first: "Chang'an occupies the Eastern Tang Dynasty, if it can be digested quickly, then the next step, it is likely to continue to expand outward, and the first target is most likely to be my Great Qi." ”

King Qi bowed slightly, did not make an evaluation, and turned his head to look at the other side.

His third son, Gao Zhao, said: "Erchen is not to increase the morale of the other party and destroy his own prestige, but if he can try to lead the water to the east and direct it to other places first, it will be more conducive to my great preparation for war." ”

Gao Zhao is among the sons of the King of Qi, and the situation is more special.

The five major factions of the Northern Qi Dynasty, two martial arts, two Taoism and one Confucianism.

His Royal Highness Gao Zheng is a student of the Confucian Shuofeng Academy.

The Sixth Highness Gao Jun studied under Lin Ying, the head of the famous martial arts sect Wu Tianfeng.

The Fifth Highness Gao Keng studied in the Ice and Fire Valley, another great martial arts faction.

The third highness Gao Zhao and the fourth highness Gao Zhong respectively studied art in the two famous Taoist families Yuquan Peak and Xuanming Temple.

All of them, at the same time, also practiced the secret martial arts of the Northern Qi royal family.

The third highness Gao Zhao and the fourth highness Gao Zhong are both Taoist and martial arts practitioners.

However, His Royal Highness Gao Zhong's own Northern Qi royal family martial arts has cultivated to the seventh realm, and the Taoism of the Xuan Ming Temple is the sixth realm.

The Third Highness Gao Zhao is the opposite, and the martial arts of the Northern Qi royal family of his own family is the sixth realm.

And the Yuquan Peak Dao Law has already cultivated the Dharma and reached the eighth realm of Taoism!

He is the only one among the sons of the King of Qi who cultivates the inheritance of the master, and his realm is even better than that of the Northern Qi royal family.

In the entire Yuquan Peak, the only person whose strength can surpass him is the one in charge of Yuquan Peak.

This has a lot of people talking.

I don't know if he was too loyal to Yuquan Peak, or if he simply gave up the throne of Northern Qi, and his mind was to go to Yuquan Peak to take charge of the sect.

What the third brother said was good, and Erchen also thought so. ”

Gao Zhongyan, the fourth son of King Qi, said.

"Which one will the disaster lead to?" King Qi's expression remained unchanged.

Gao Zhao said: "Western Zhou, Western Chu, and Southern Liang choose one, and Western Zhou is the best, but it may be difficult, and Erchen recommends choosing Southern Liang or Western Chu." ”

King Qi suddenly changed the subject: "Southeast Li Hong, where is it now?"

"I live in the post house, but I often go to the branch of Shuofeng Academy in the royal capital. King Qi's eldest son, Gao Ju, replied.

King Qi bowed his head: "The Eastern Tang Dynasty has suffered a big change, he will inevitably be in a fluctuating mood, Jun'er is not there, he has lost his old friends, Ju'er, you next, greet him more." ”

Gao Ju replied: "The son obeys the order, please rest assured that my father." ”

King Qi continued to instruct: "In addition, order Keng'er to come back, give up Xihai County, and don't entangle with Chang'an anymore." ”

"Yes, Father," replied Gao Ju.

King Qi nodded, and then looked at his third son Gao Zhao and fourth son Gao Zhong:

"Help me invite the Miaoqing Sect of Yuquan Mountain and the Zique Sect of Xuanming Temple to come to the royal capital to gather. ”

Gao Zhao and Gao Zhong hurriedly replied, "Yes, father." ”

As soon as the king of Qi gave the order, suddenly the following people sent an urgent report:

The Northern Qi army, including the Fifth Highness Gao Keng, as well as the masters of various factions who helped nearby, originally succeeded in attacking Xihai County, but then lost contact.

All those who were sent to contact and search for them were like mud oxen into the sea, and they were never heard from again.

It is speculated that Gao Keng and others have been ambushed by the enemy and have been wiped out......

The four father and son, who received the news, looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Gao Ju, the eldest son of King Qi, said with difficulty: "Father, I'm afraid Chang'an has already made up his mind, take us as a target, and want to lead the water to the east, and the hope is already slim." ”

His third brother and fourth brother stood aside, all with serious expressions and no objections.

King Qi didn't speak, stood up, walked to the window of the main hall, and looked into the distance.

After a while, he didn't turn around, and said: "Be on guard against the southwest, but don't venture to set foot in the southwest of Xihai County first, fortify layer by layer, if Chang'an goes north, intercept it in a row, and report back as soon as possible." ”

Gao Ju and the three of them said in unison: "The son obeys the order." ”

Xihae County, Mr. Wuyun projected by Zhang Dongyun appeared here.

Half of Xihai County was shrouded in the invincible city system.

Gao Keng, the fifth son of King Qi, and others who dared to approach, naturally only had the share of being caught in the urn.

Gao Keng, a Seventh Realm martial artist who was also the head of the Northern Qi royal family and the Valley of Ice and Fire, once again contributed 500 points of protection experience to Zhang Dongyun.

The scope of the invincible city has already covered nearly half of Xihai County, and Chang'an's sphere of influence must of course be further expanded.

The entire Xihai County is now properly controlled by Chang'an.

The important ore veins such as Xifeng iron produced here can naturally be unimpeded, and they will no longer be disturbed by the outside world, and they will be fully supplied to Chang'an.

The Chang'an army marched further north to expand its control.

Mr. Dark Cloud smiled slightly, and his gaze no longer continued to look north, but turned to the west.

Turn to the southwest, to be precise.

............

At the same time, in the palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zhou also urgently summoned his ministers to discuss.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an is even stronger than we previously estimated. ”

An old minister said slowly: "Dongtang, it has completely changed hands. ”

"Li Xuanxin, didn't you even escape from it?" asked King Zhou.

The old minister's expression was solemn: "That's right, not only Tang King Li Xuanxin is alone, but the current situation, the companions at least include Lin Ying, the head of the Northern Qi Fog Heavenly Peak, a total of two Ninth Realm masters have no news, and their lives and deaths are unknown." ”

King Zhou frowned.

The ministers below all looked extremely serious.

Someone said softly: "Tang King Li Xuanxin, his strength is not bad, so it seems that there are at least four or more Ninth Realm masters in Chang'an City, and they are united." ”

The Eastern Tang Dynasty also had more than three Ninth Realm masters.

It was only because the Tang Dynasty centralized power to kill, and then divided and disintegrated each other, and successively killed more than one master of the Ninth Realm in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, that it seemed that the Eastern Tang Dynasty was a little weaker.

Like the Northern Qi Dynasty, as we all know, the King of Qi plus the leaders of the five major factions are the six masters of the Ninth Realm.

There were not so many in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there were also five people.

But the royal family has only one King Qi.

If he wants to unite the other four people and advance and retreat together, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

However, the masters of Chang'an City seem to be extremely united.

Masters generally don't obey each other, which is a rare and even unusual thing.

"Or, Chang'an...... There are strong people above the ninth realm. ”

King Zhou opened his mouth and said slowly.

When the ministers below heard this, their mood couldn't help but become even heavier.

"Your Majesty, it is rare that my Great Zhou has a good relationship with Chang'an at the moment, and there are often business and trade contacts, so now I might as well strengthen cooperation between the two sides and jointly deal with other dynasties. A subordinate suggested.

A person next to him smiled bitterly: "I don't know what happened to the two monks who went to Chang'an before." ”
