Could it be that His Majesty intends to pass on his superior magic skills?

However, he needs to choose between healing and seeking advice.

Old injuries can heal immediately, which is naturally good.

But if he can learn the superior magic skills that His Majesty has just cast, he himself will also be able to heal his wounds quickly.

Of course, it's best if you can do both.

But as soon as this idea appeared, the Blood Shadow Old Demon himself vetoed it first.

In the final analysis, it was still a moment of confusion before, and it turned out to be anti-hearted.

His Majesty did not kill him on the spot, he was already lenient and generous.

After asking him to inspect Bai Yunyuan, he was injured and defeated by Gao Qi and others, which was equivalent to doing a bad errand.

If you haven't made an inch, where can you still have the face to seek Your Majesty's reward?

The Blood Shadow Old Demon took a deep breath, didn't care about competing with the old man in black, and hurriedly handed over the captured Tang soldier to the other party, while he himself rushed to Daming Palace.

The evil emperor transformed by Zhang Dongyun was on the throne, calmly looking at the old devil below.

"The old slave is incompetent, he has failed His Majesty's expectations, and it is difficult to escape the blame for his death, so I only implore His Majesty to give the old slave one last chance to make meritorious atonements. ”

Zhang Dongyun was noncommittal about the old devil's oath of allegiance, but seemed to mention irrelevant things:

"Just now, how much did you understand?"

The old demon of the blood shadow showed a look of fear and shame on his face: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the old slave is stupid, like seeing flowers in the fog, and only a little fur ......"

Seeing that Zhang Dongyun didn't speak and just looked at him, the old devil gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

Blood mist surged around him, and an illusory shadow rose above his head.

The shadow took on the image of a blood phoenix, fluttering its wings and ready to fly.

Zhang Dongyun glanced at it: "It's not even a little fur." ”

The Blood Shadow Old Demon was full of shame: "The old slave is stupid. ”

"It's off to a good start, though. Zhang Dongyun continued.

The Blood Shadow Old Demon was overjoyed when he heard this.

He knew he had made the right choice.

Healing and practice, one in the present and the other in the long run.

Choosing to heal oneself will inevitably leave the impression that His Majesty is greedy for small profits for a short time.

If he chooses to practice, he will appear to be self-motivated, and His Majesty may give him another chance.

What's more, it is undoubtedly even more rare to be able to learn better magic skills from His Majesty.

"This "Phoenix Blood Book" is just right for you to practice, but it's ......"

Zhang Dongyun sat with his hands folded in front of him, his ring finger and little finger interlocked, and the tips of his middle finger, index finger, and thumb were facing each other.

"I don't reward those who have no merit. ”

The Blood Shadow Old Demon's heart went up and down like a roller coaster.

He smiled bitterly in his heart and said respectfully: "The old slave understands that the old slave will do his best to live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”

"Well, let's go down. ”

Zhang Dongyun said casually: "Those scrap copper and rotten iron in the city, clean up." ”

The Blood Shadow Old Demon was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced: "Obey Your Majesty's holy decree!"

He happily walked out of the Daming Palace.

The scrap copper and rotten iron that His Majesty said undoubtedly referred to those arrows that had been absorbed by the Blood Phoenix before.

Surrendering the enemy, Zhang Dongyun withdrew his hand, the blood phoenix dispersed, and those arrows fell to the ground one after another out of control and piled up at the gate of the city.

After the refining of the evil power of the blood phoenix before, there was more or less some evil qi left on these arrows.

Although Zhang Dongyun did not immediately teach the Blood Shadow Old Devil the "Phoenix Blood Book", the old devil was ordered to pack up those arrows and think about them carefully, and there would always be some gains.

This made the Blood Shadow Old Demon extremely excited.

Although the gate to heaven in front of him was closed now, His Majesty still left him a crack in the door, revealing the dawn.

As long as he works harder and makes contributions, "Phoenix Blood Book" will definitely be in hand!

The Blood Shadow Old Demon was happy in his heart, and when he saw the old man in black, he felt much more pleasing to the eye than before.

The old man in black smiled as he watched the blood shadow flash through the air, and went to the city gate to clean up the piled up arrows.

He turned to look at the crowd on the other side:

"If you invade Chang'an City, you deserve death.

Your Majesty is magnanimous and spares your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin is unforgivable.

The only way for you to gain forgiveness is to build Chang'an. ”

The voice was not loud, but it steadily reached the ears of every Tang general.

The crowd was silent, everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

The old man in black incarnated by Zhang Dongyun was not anxious, and looked at the crowd in front of him for a long time.

Noticing the cold smile on the corner of his mouth, someone in the crowd stood out.

Gao Qi's face was pale, and his armor was shattered.

He came to the old man in black and said in a low voice: "I am willing to obey the dispatch, and I hope that the emperor will not be embarrassed by the robed brothers." ”

Zhang Dongyun bowed slightly: "Very good." ”

With a wave of his hand, a drawing fell into Gauch's hand.

"Your soldiers, I'll leave them to you to bring. Zhang Dongyun didn't disrupt the establishment of the Tang Army in front of him, and he didn't mind that Gao Qi was still the backbone of this group of Tang Army.

He simply handed over the master of the Mountain Tiger Hall and his subordinates to Gao Qi.

"Old man, just look at the results. ”

Gao Qi bowed his head and said: "Please rest assured, seniors, we will do our best." ”

He paused slightly, then stopped.

Zhang Dongyun seemed to know what the other party wanted to say: "Work honestly, your other robes will soon come to accompany you, including your general, if he knows each other." ”

Gao Qi and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

After the Xuanwu general Du Kun heard the news, he would definitely come here.

They were originally worried that Chang'an City would force them to defend the city and become enemies of their former superiors and colleagues.

But listening to the tone of the old man in black, he didn't take Du Kun in his eyes at all......

Some people are worried about their relatives at home, and they can't ask at the moment, so they swallow the words back into their stomachs.

In desperation, everyone could only work as a coolie for a certain city lord.

They worked hard to go out of the city to cut down trees and dig stones, and they did not dare to escape, so they honestly transported things back to the city.

With the diligent efforts of thousands of people, residential buildings began to rise in Chang'an City.

The city was finally bare as far as the eye could see.

Chang'an is no longer an empty city, and it has begun to gain more popularity.

While the city was thriving, the city lord himself was in a slightly unpleasant mood.

He blocked out the other people's vision of him and made his way to the wall.

Several arrows appeared in front of him, levitating in midair.

Zhang Dongyun looked out of the city, frowning and silent.

He had just fired an arrow out of the city, and the power of the blessing was much greater than the bow itself.

Ballista ballistas can't be compared.

It stands to reason that you should be able to fly a long way.

However, as soon as they left the city, the arrows quickly lost their forward strength and fell due to their weight.

In fact, Zhang Dacheng Lord was busy with his own experiments at first, and he didn't think about using arrows to fight back at the Tang army outside the city.

As a result, the rain of arrows went out of the city, fell quickly, and the momentum sank, and many Tang troops were injured.

The Tang army also thought that there were also crossbowmen in ambush in Chang'an City, so they rushed into the city while returning fire.

How did they know that the arrows that Lord Zhang Dacheng wanted to fly out of the city would not be able to hit them, so he flew as far as he could.

Zhang Dongyun thought for a moment and beckoned to the ground.

On the land in Chang'an City, a clod of soil was detached and rose into the air to come to him.

Zhang Dongyun pierced the edge of an arrow into the clod.

Then, the clod of dirt moves forward, and the arrow is aimed outside the city.
