The people who rushed out of the jungle were divided into two groups, one in front of the other.

The three people in front of them were all stunned when they saw the golden fields in front of them and the Chang'an City in the distance.

The people in the rear couldn't help but slow down.

Feeling the pressure brought by the pursuers, the three people who fled in front gritted their teeth and still rushed towards Chang'an City.

Those who pursued them hesitated slightly.

But they still keep up.

Moreover, the speed suddenly increased, and it seemed that the escapees were about to be intercepted before they could enter the city.

There is no complex terrain barrier of mountains and forests, and the distance between the two sides is rapidly shortened on this open land outside the city.

The people in the field looked at them, and then they also stopped their farm work, speculating in their hearts.

When they got closer, the three fleeing people were about to enter the city gate, but a dark shadow flashed overhead.

The pursuers crossed from above, and preemptively blocked the city gates, blocking the way of the three escapees.

The three of them were in a hurry, wanting to break through the encirclement and rush into the city.

But the enemy is stronger.

Not only were the three of them unable to get close to the city gates, but they were driven farther away.

One of the teenagers, by accident, moved a little slower.

His opponent immediately swept with a low leg and tripped him to the canvas.

The cold light rose, and the blade slashed down at the fallen boy.

At this moment, everyone outside the city gate suddenly moved slightly.

The huge pressure instantly added to the body, and both sides could not move.

Many people fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up.

A voice sounded overhead: "Who dares to be presumptuous outside Chang'an City?"

The hearts of those who pursued and killed were all sinking.

The risk of intercepting the fugitives before they entered the city was successful, but outside the city, people still intervened.

Among the fugitives, the young man replied in a panic: "We were chased and killed by the minions of the Eastern Tang Dark Pavilion, and we asked the owner of this place to save our lives." ”

Everyone in the fields outside the city heard the word "dark pavilion", and most of their expressions changed slightly.

There are people who don't know why, and even more companions inquire, and their companions are solemn.

When Zhang Dongyun heard this, his heart also moved slightly.

When interrogating Hui Tianyu, Cao Feng and others before, I had also heard them mention the name of the Dark Pavilion.

However, the two of them have limited understanding of this, and only say that it was used by the Eastern Tang Dynasty to hunt down and supervise the eagle dogs that supervised the country.

According to Zhang Dongyun's own understanding, it may be places like Jinyiwei and Dongchang that he heard about in his previous life when he was in Lanxing.

"The likes of the Dark Pavilion don't matter, it's okay to take you in. ”

Zhang Dongyun pretended to be an old man in black and said indifferently: "But when you enter Chang'an City, you have to abide by the rules here." ”

The three of them hurriedly said: "This is natural, we must abide by the rules." ”

"Wait, they ......"

Among the pursuers, some could not help but shout, but were stopped by the leaders on the side.

The leader said in a deep voice: "Our duty is only to hunt down the criminals, and we have no intention of offending the honorable driver.

Since the three of them are protected, we can only give up, and please raise your noble hand and let us leave. ”

"No, I can't. Zhang Dongyun said very simply.

The men on both sides were just outside the city gates, close enough to allow him to bring them all into the city.

"The first rule is to report to your home. Zhang Dongyun commanded.

People on both sides, you look at me, I look at you.

The three people who escaped were the first to speak: "This senior, we are the children of the Chen family......"

What are the people in the dark pavilion, their identities are equal to transparency, and they dare not hide anything from the old man in black in front of them at this moment, and honestly explain the origin of their identities.

The major forces in the Eastern Tang Dynasty are summarized as "three courts, four daos, five factions and six schools".

The four realms refer to the four great Taoist inheritances, including the concept of forgetting the truth.

The six families refer to the six major families, with a long history and many bloodlines.

But in fact, in the early years, there should have been nine recognized famous families in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

The other forces are also extremely high-profile, and there are many strong ones, and the majesty of the Eastern Tang royal family is difficult to demonstrate.

Subsequently, the current Tang Dynasty made great efforts to make the country prosperous, accumulated a lot of money, and began to drastically sort out the domestic situation and strengthen the centralization of power in recent years.

In particular, what made the forces of the Eastern Tang Dynasty vigilant was the newly established Mingguang Pavilion for less than ten years.

That is, the dark cabinet that everyone mentions in private.

The Dark Pavilion Pavilion Lord directly obeyed the orders of the Tang King, and his command was mysterious and unpredictable, with tentacles all over the Eastern Tang Dynasty and capable personnel.

Over the years, the pavilion master has gradually become known as the night king of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the shadow prince.

It is rumored that he was the illegitimate son of King Tang.

As the sharpest butcher's knife in the hands of King Tang, the dark pavilion kept wandering in the dark night.

The various forces in the Eastern Tang Dynasty were divided and co-opted, disintegrated and attacked.

Of the nine great families in the past, three declined, so they became the six families they are today.

The Chen family is one of the three major families in decline.

Most of the children in the clan are now Eastern Tang Dynasty Qin criminals, openly and secretly, and are being pursued and arrested by the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

At present, the three people who fled to Chang'an City are the members of the Chen clan, and in order to avoid being chased by the members of the Dark Pavilion, they panicked and avoided the deep mountains of Longling.

"How many people are there in the Chen family now?" asked the black-clothed old man who Zhang Dongyun had incarnated casually.

"Too many relatives were slaughtered by the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and now there are fewer than 100 survivors. ”

The Chen clan who replied had a sad face.

But at the same time, there was surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look into the distance.

There, a team of Tang soldiers descended and were working hard.

The Tang Army-style robes on them made several Chen clan people tremble.

Although the old man in black saved the lives of the three of them from the Dark Pavilion, they didn't know the roots of Chang'an City.

Seeing those Tang soldiers, the Chen family couldn't help but feel worried, so they came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again.

I had never heard of such a majestic city in the dense forest of Longling.

Could it be that it was built in the Eastern Tang Dynasty?

Quietly build a city on the boundary of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that only the Eastern Tang royal family can do it, right?

Regarding the uneasiness of the three people in front of him, Zhang Dongyun did not clearly explain, but said in a casual tone:

"Chang'an City is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, as long as you abide by the rules here, you can stay in the city.

When you enter the city, all the cause and effect outside the city will no longer be relevant to you.

But the errand given to you by Chang'an City, you must complete it, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you are guilty, you will be punished.

If they don't follow the rules of the city, they are role models. ”

The old man in black said, glancing at the Tang soldiers in the distance.

When the three members of the Chen family heard this, their hearts disappeared with panic, and they were overjoyed: "The juniors and others understand, thank the seniors for taking them in and sheltering ......."

Before they could finish their sentences, they were suddenly under such pressure that they almost suffocated.

The three of them found that the pressure came from the old man in black in front of them, and they couldn't help but panic again, not knowing which sentence they said just now was wrong, which actually angered each other.

"The person who gave you a way to live is my majesty, not the old man. ”

The old man in black saluted to Daming Palace: "If you want to stay in Chang'an, you must know who the master here is." ”

"Yes, the younger generation knows ...... mistakes" The three members of the Chen family were a little confused.

And the people in the dark pavilion were also secretly frightened.

This old man in black is terrifying and clever, and he grabbed them into the city with a flip of his palm, but he was not the master of this place, but his subordinates.

So what kind of existence should the owner of this place be?

In the Eastern Tang Dynasty, when did there be such a master?

Their hearts were turbulent, but they saw that the old man in black had already looked at them.

"You guys are working in the so-called dark cabinet, so you must have a lot of secret information?"

Zhang Dongyun was condescending, looking at the other party who was prostrate on the ground.
