21. Plans can't keep up with change

When those people in the dark pavilion came into contact with Zhang Dongyun's gaze, their hearts were heavy.

The other party seems to be able to see their hearts at a glance.

Such a terrifying feeling seems to have never been experienced when facing his own pavilion master.

"The seniors misunderstood, and we waited for Ming Guangwei to act on orders from above. ”

The leader spoke: "We are all just errand runners at the bottom, where will it be our turn to know the real secret? If we really know something, I am afraid that we will kill ourselves first." ”

The old man in black incarnated by Zhang Dongyun looked at it and smiled silently.

The other party felt that his throat was dry, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "The main reason for my trip is to hunt down the remnants of the Chen family, and collect some information and intelligence on Longbei County on the way. ”

He took a small cloth bag from his cuff and opened it.

There were several letters inside.

Zhang Dongyun took it and put it away first, and was not busy flipping through it immediately.

"The old man is still more interested in the news you have spoken. ”

Those Mingguangwei all looked bitter.

Before they could argue any more, as soon as the black-clothed old man in front of him raised his hand, a black mist appeared, enveloping them.

Several people were in the black fog, and they couldn't see their companions anymore, only themselves were left, and they couldn't see their fingers around them.

Zhang Dongyun's voice sounded in the darkness:

"What kind of secrecy rules do you have in the secret pavilion, the old man doesn't care.

The rule here is that only one person can live. ”

Hearing this, several Ming Guangwei were shocked.

They shouted, but no one else could be heard.

Now in the black fog, it seems that only oneself is left.

A person is an independent world.

The vision was peeled off, and only the sound could be heard, which clearly seemed to sound in the bottom of my heart.

Whoever answers the most satisfies the old man, who lives. ”

Zhang Dongyun said indifferently: "You only have a quarter of an hour. ”

The people in the black fog were shocked and fell silent for a while.

Zhang Dongyun didn't care about this, he believed that the silence would soon be broken.

Outside the black mist, the three Chen clan people had complicated expressions.

The young boy's face was full of excitement, looking at the black mist, full of relief that he had taken revenge.

Although he didn't dispose of those Ming Guangwei by himself, he still felt happy.

I only felt that the death and injury of so many clansmen's relatives, and the hardships and resentment on the way to escape for so long, finally had a sigh of relief.

The other two middle-aged men had a much more complicated mood.

Of course, they rejoiced in being saved.

But the mystery of Chang'an City and the strength of the old man in black in front of them made them uneasy.

The situation is certainly much better now than it was before, but the future is full of unknowns.

One of the middle-aged men pondered for a long time before speaking, "Senior, I wonder if there is anything we can do to repay the grace of taking in the asylum?"

"What do you think you can do?" asked Zhang Dongyun casually.

One sentence made the other party dumbfounded.

Another slightly older Chen clansman next to him spoke at this time: "The three of us are weak, and we are really embarrassed, I wonder if our predecessors can allow us to find other clansmen to come to Chang'an?"

His two kindreds couldn't help but look at him.

The man's tone was still calm: "We are waiting for Chang'an, and since we have inherited the kindness of the master and predecessor here, we will repay it with all our might."

Although the Chen family has suffered a catastrophe at the moment, the foundation is still there, and I believe that there is a place to serve Chang'an City. ”

"Those who abide by the rules can accommodate themselves in Chang'an City. Zhang Dongyun's tone was light and light.

The other party bowed his head: "The juniors understand, thank you to the city lord of Chang'an, thank you to the seniors." ”

He said to the other two Chen clansmen, "I'll go find the others, and you two stay here." ”

The young man couldn't help but say, "Dad, I'll go with you." ”

Another Chen family member next to him patted him on the shoulder: "You stay here, I'll go out of the city with your father and go to find the others separately." ”

Before the boy could say anything more, his father stopped him: "It's decided, you stay in the city alone, remember not to make trouble, and be a low-key person." ”

"Yes......" The young man was a little unwilling, but he still obeyed the orders of his elders.

The two middle-aged men immediately said goodbye to Zhang Dongyun and left the city.

"There are no idlers in the city, either you work in the city or you work outside the city, you decide. Zhang Dongyun said.

The young man looked embarrassed, he had never done either of these jobs.

But in front of Zhang Dongyun, he didn't dare to slack off: "The younger generation goes to the fields outside the city." ”

The city was full of Tang soldiers, although he knew that these people were prisoners and were punished for work, but he was still a little uncomfortable in the middle of such a group of people.

Outside the city, in addition to the Tang Army's soldiers, there were also disciples of the Hanshan faction, so the young man subconsciously chose to go outside the city.

When he arrived in the field, he immediately became the object of onlookers.

Although everyone is in a similar situation, everyone from the Hanshan faction, and even those Tang army soldiers, looking at the new Chen family teenager at this moment, have a sense of superiority of old qualifications.

In the city, Zhang Dongyun continued to interrogate those Ming Guangwei.

The Chen family may not be much in terms of numbers, but it used to be a number of famous families in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the martial arts inheritance has a long history.

Although now the wind and rain are blowing, only the remnants of the load.

But if there are a few talents who can do errands, it will be a harvest for Chang'an City, which is just starting out.

As for saying that they are being suppressed, encircled and suppressed by the Eastern Tang Dynasty......

Lord Zhang Dacheng can't wait for the other party to chase and kill him to come to Chang'an City.

However, it is still necessary to know oneself and one's opponent.

The more information you have, the more it will help the development of Chang'an City in the future.

Through these Ming Guangwei, Zhang Dongyun squeezed out some useful things.

For example, when they came to Longbei County this time, it was certainly the first priority to hunt down the Chen family, but collecting local intelligence in Longbei County was not an incidental errand, but an equally important task.

The object is none other than Du Kun, the general of Xuanwu who is stationed here.

Du Kun is very close to the prince of Tang Wang.

And the prince of Tang Wang has a deep grudge with the master of the dark pavilion.

To a certain extent, this prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the night master of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, is a sworn enemy in the court.

Of course, this should be the way of checks and balances that the Tang King played in the court.

But it always feels a little weird to have such two people set against each other.

Knowing this, Zhang Dongyun's gossip heart suddenly rose.

This dark pavilion master, could it really be the illegitimate son of King Tang?

Speaking of which, Dongtang is also an internal and external trouble.

On the one hand, there are battles with foreign enemies on the border, and on the other hand, there are internal waves about the position of the prince.

Zhang Dongyun shook his head with a smile.

He took out the package again, looking through the information gathered by the Dark Chamber.

Looking at it, the smile on Zhang Dongyun's face disappeared.

"Du Kun led the army to clear most of the displaced people, only the last one remains, and now it has gradually become a trend of encirclement, and it is difficult for the displaced people to have a chance to break through. ”

The homeless people are about to be wiped out by the Xuanwu general Du Kun?
