108. Friends and foes (the fourth more ask for subscription)
Qingyunguan back mountain, a simple and simple stone interior.
Several high-level officials of Qingyun Temple gathered here to meet the master.
In the corner of the stone room, on the futon sat a Taoist priest with a white beard and a face like a young man.
It is the contemporary viewer of Qingyun Temple.
The Qingyun Guan Lord listened to the audience tell the cause and effect of the incident, and then pondered silently.
A middle-aged Taoist priest said: "Uncle Cangye is trapped, I'm afraid I still need to see the Lord in person." ”
"The time has not come. ”
After a while, the Qingyun Guan Master said slowly.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Someone thoughtfully said: "What does the Lord mean is that my generation is looking for a pure yang heir, and I am entrusted by the ancient wood Taoist person, so naturally I also want him to come forward to help?"
A person next to him couldn't help but say: "The time for the Gumu Dao people to come to us is uncertain, and when he comes, it is difficult to say what the situation of Senior Brother Cangye is." ”
"Whether or not Gumu Daoyou is here is only one of them. ”
At this time, the Qingyun Guan Lord said: "It's best if he comes, if he doesn't come, we can't delay other opportunities." ”
Everyone wondered: "What do you mean by timing......"
"Li Xuanxin, Hong Xiao, are coming back. Lord Qingyun said lightly.
When the others heard this, they were all stunned.
Li Xuanxin is the name of today's Tang King.
Hong Xiao is the current president of White Horse Academy.
The two of them, one is the first master of martial arts in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the other is the first master of Confucianism in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The Eastern Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses under the city of Chang'an.
Not only did they lose their own troops, but even the Cheng family, the Situ family, Bai Hongfeng, Songyang Academy, and Qingfu Palace, which had always been friendly with the royal family, all suffered heavy losses.
When Tang King Li Xuanxin returned to the dynasty, he would inevitably give them an explanation.
Not to mention Li Xuanxin's own son, Li Tang, the king of Qingyuan County, was also trapped in Chang'an City, and his life and death were unknown.
He was forced to put down the wars with other dynasties and rush back, just for the sake of this mysterious Chang'an City that suddenly rose.
And the White Horse Academy, although it has a bad relationship with the Eastern Tang Dynasty, they can't tolerate the Blood Shadow Old Devil.
Vice Dean Zhao Ning and a group of students were also lost in Chang'an.
Dean Hong Xiao previously went to Yechuan County to surrender the ape demon according to rumors, but in the end, it didn't work.
It is rumored that Hong Xiao left the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to another country.
Now, he has finally returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The ape demon of Yechuan County is gone, and Hong Xiao's next priority is naturally the blood demon of Chang'an.
There are too many forces in Chang'an City to open the law, and some people are looking for trouble.
Qingyun view is from the yellow finch behind.
Their contradictions with the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the White Horse Academy are also very deep......
"But I don't know when they will do it, and I don't know if I can wait until ......," someone said worriedly.
"Poor Dao repaired a letter and sent it to Chang'an to ease the relationship. Qingyunguan said: "In addition, pay more attention to the trends around Chang'an. ”
Everyone responded, "Yes, Lord." ”
Qingyunguan majored in a book, lowered his posture between words, and ordered his disciples to be sent to Chang'an.
Chang'an received the letter.
But at the same time, the disciple who sent the letter was also detained.
Qingyunguan was so angry that he smoked.
But at this moment, the only way to do this is to press it down first.
However, the Qingyun Guan Lord is invisible, and he is always calm.
He was more concerned about another piece of news: "Lu Wen, brought Xingluo ginseng and went to Chang'anfang City to trade?"
"Yes, the result was also detained by Chang'an. The disciple spoke with grief and indignation: "What kind of market, it is obviously a trap, when you see rare treasures, you directly rob them, how is it different from a robber?"
Lord Qingyun was silent in thought.
After a while, he ordered: "Inform Dongtang of the news." ”
"Master......" The disciples were slightly stunned, and then woke up: "What does Shizun mean is that Dahe Longmen may have colluded with Chang'an?"
"Possibly, but not necessarily. Qingyunguan said: "It's okay to let that person from the Eastern Tang Dynasty stare at it." ”
"Yes, Master. The disciple understood and withdrew.
Qingyunguan did not make any big moves, which made Zhang Dongyun a little regretful.
He was still looking forward to the Qingyun Viewer taking the initiative to send it to the door.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't come now, City Lord Zhang just keeps an eye on the development of his city right now.
"Elder Shang, this is what your sect is asking for. ”
Mr. Wuyun handed the bag to Wen Hu beside him.
Wen Hu took it and then handed it over to his fellow uncle Shang Jie.
Shang Jie took it, didn't open it for inspection, nodded and said: "Mr. Lao is concerned, and I am grateful." ”
Mr. Wuyun said indifferently: "It's good to say, for other things, you can talk to Dongshi about it." ”
Shang Jie smiled and bowed: "The juniors understand, there is another thing to disturb Mr. ”
"Speak. Mr. Wuyun said while sipping tea.
"In order to facilitate communication between this door and Chang'an, the younger generation wants to stay here, and I hope that the seniors will be accommodating. Shang Jie said.
Mr. Wuyun had no choice but to respond: "Like Wenhu, you can stay by abiding by the rules set by the city lord for Chang'an." ”
"City Lord Xie, Mr. Xie. Shang Jie smiled.
Wen Hu stood beside her, thinking to himself that the influence of Chang'an City had already shocked the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty.
He himself has been in Chang'an City for the past few months, and rarely goes out of the city to deal with the outside world, and he has not been deeply touched by this before.
But now that in addition to himself, even the elder Shang Jie was sent by the sect to be stationed there, he really felt that the influence of Chang'an had played a pivotal role in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Wuyun, Shang Jie and Wen Hu came out together.
She turned her head to Wen Hu and said, "From today onwards, you don't have to interfere in the matter of contacting the sect, Master Wen and nephew, you will leave it to me." ”
Wen Hu responded: "Yes, Uncle Shi." ”
"It's not that I can't trust you. Shang Jie said softly: "But there are more important errands entrusted to you." ”
Wen Hu was startled and looked up at her.
Shang Jie smiled and motioned to the other party to relax: "From today onwards, you will serve Chang'an more diligently, if Chang'an's interests conflict with your own family, as long as it is not an evil thing that violates your conscience, you will give priority to Chang'an." ”
Wen Hu's lips trembled twice, and Shang Jie shook her head with a smile: "Don't worry about the damage to the interests of this sect, you can rest easy and stay in Chang'an."
I am always just a messenger, and you are more likely to become a bridge between Chang'an and Benmen in the future, which is more beneficial to Benmen in the future. ”
Wen Hu exhaled a long breath: "Yes, uncle, the disciple understands." ”
Shang Jie smiled and nodded.
The two went to Chang'an East City together, and when they saw Xu Xingzhi, they were reminiscing again.
Xu Xingzhi, who was born in the White Horse Academy, also had several dealings with Shang Jie of Dahe Longmen in his early years.
Although the friendship was not deep at that time, it was also a fate to meet again in Chang'an at this moment.
After chatting, Shang Jie handed over several treasures treasured by Dahe Longmen to Xu Xingzhi.
This is the price they paid for obtaining Xingluo ginseng from Chang'an.
After the two sides chatted a few more words, Shang Jie and Wen Hu came out of Chang'an East City together, and she looked across the city.
"Take me to the West Market too. ”
The two went to the West Market together, mingled among the people, and walked around.
Wen Hu's eyes swept and suddenly narrowed.
He was responsible for administering the criminal law, and he was particularly sensitive in this regard.
I saw a middle-aged man in the market, who didn't want to be a buyer or look like a seller, but asked around to check, as if he was investigating something.
...... A spying look.
Wen Hu frowned, confessed to Shang Jie, and leaned over.
The middle-aged man had no cultivation, he was concentrating at the moment, and he didn't notice Wen Hu approaching him at all.
He is immersed in his own world.
The man has a very rich name, the big name is called Jin Fugui, he was once indeed rich, and his family business was rich, but in recent years he has become depressed.
Chang'an mysteriously rose and established Fang City, and Jin Fugui was determined to fight for wealth again.
He didn't bring goods, nor did he bring a lot of money and silver, but he came to Chang'an West City first, passed the examination, and rented a shop.
Then Boss Jin did research in the market and the whole Chang'an all day long.
In the bustling bazaar, he looked out of place.
So he was immediately found out by Wen Hu.
Looking at the things that Boss Jin remembered, it was all about who was in the market at different times of the day, what things were bought, and what kind of stalls he stayed in front of the longest time.
There are also what income and livelihood do the residents of Chang'an City have, how many people are in the family, whether there are elderly people, and whether they have children......
"This adult, the villain is wronged, and the villain is also a businessman, these ...... It's all just for business. ”
Jin Fugui was pulled out by Wen Hu and hurriedly explained.
With a black face, Wen Hu took him back to his yamen and began to carefully investigate.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun looked at this scene and shook his head and smiled.
Lord Wen is mistaken, Boss Jin is indeed not a secret agent.
As soon as the spy entered the city, he was fully mastered by Zhang Dongyun.
He didn't stop Wen Hu, Wen Hu was also responsible, Jin Fugui's actions were indeed easy to be misunderstood.
However, according to Wenhu's ability in the past, after the interrogation is understood, Jin Fugui will be freed.
As for whether Boss Jin will be frightened by this and flee from Chang'an, it may not be.
He investigated the content of the record, and Zhang Dongyun also looked at it, this person is quite resilient and persevering, so he will not be scared away like this.
What's more, Zhangcheng Zhuxin is not black enough, and there is almost no problem of exploitation here in Chang'an, and the tax burden is not as heavy as that of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Boss Jin wants to make a comeback, and this is the most promising place.
Sure enough, later, Wen Hu released Jin Fugui.
And Jin Fugui did not pack up his baggage and run away, but rushed back to Chang'an West City as soon as possible and continued his research.
With the passage of time, the eastern and western cities became more and more prosperous.
City Lord Zhang's small treasury is also becoming more and more full.
Fang City has developed rapidly, with stable growth as a whole and a reputation far away.
There are special people responsible for taking care of it, and Zhang Dongyun doesn't need to bother himself.
The system's chime is getting better and better.
[Chengzhongfang City is on the right track, commerce is becoming more and more prosperous, the city lord has completed the construction task 4.1 and obtained 1,000 points of upgrade experience]
Zhang Dongyun nodded with satisfaction.
Coupled with the previous balance of 600 points, the construction and upgrading experience has now reached 1,006, which is still 2,040 short of the upgrade standard of 4,000.
The Guardian Upgrade experience has reached the standard, as long as the construction task side also keeps up, the Invincible City will soon usher in the fourth upgrade and expansion.
Zhang Dongyun refreshed the task list:
[Construction task 4.2 - culture and education, the current overall cultural level of the urban residents under the rule still needs to be improved, the second step is to reduce the illiteracy rate to less than 10%]
