In the land of Ancient Chu, there were five masters of the Ninth Realm.

Xiang Qianqiu, the king of Chu, and Wu Xiao, the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa, fell into the hands of the Chang'an people one after another.

Wen Bo, the dean of Yiling Academy, was conspired to death by Wu Xiao and Jia Zhang, the dean of Xuanhe Academy.

Jia Zhang and Zhang Bining, the head of Zicheng Mountain, fled to the Western Zhou Dynasty together, and then fled to the sea.

Among the cultivators born and raised in the land of Chu, there is currently a lack of masters of the ninth realm.

The Chu people themselves didn't dare to expect too much, and the function of the general manager fell to their own heads.

Previously, everyone's speculation was that from other places, the master of the Ninth Realm was transferred to take charge of the position of the head of Chu Land.

The end result is that many people fall through their glasses.

The eighth realm, and Li Qiong, who was also the former Eastern Tang royal family, finally got the position of the governor of Chu.

The Chu people are no strangers to him.

After Chang'an captured Western Chu, other masters basically went north to pursue the escapees of the Western Chu royal family, and then attacked Western Zhou from the south.

Only Li Qiong stayed in Yingyun City, the former capital of the king of Western Chu.

On the one hand, he was responsible for the logistics of the Chang'an army in the north, and on the other hand, he stabilized the local situation in Western Chu.

In good conscience, Li Qiong did a good job.

He seems to be young, but he is very talented in this area.

After everyone saw it, they muttered that if there was no rise of Chang'an, the Eastern Tang Dynasty would inherit normally in the future, and maybe the throne of the Tang Dynasty would not fall into the hands of the prince Li Hong, but Li Qiong would ascend the throne and become king.

But acknowledging the other party's talent is one thing, and accepting the other party's leadership is another.

Not to mention anything else, when it comes to the cultivators of the Eighth Realm alone, there are quite a few of the Chu people themselves.

Xuanhe Academy trusts Lu Qing, the dean, and Ling Qingfeng, the head of the Ling family, all of whom are Confucians of the Eighth Realm.

In handling government affairs, he will never be worse than Li Qiong.

But now that Chang'an has been appointed, everyone can only accept this result.

Many people are muttering in their hearts, although Chang'an is more generous most of the time, but at the right time, it will also show its majesty and beat all parties.

However, after the initial shock and doubts passed, including the locals of Western Chu, their minds gradually became eager.

Chang'an's reward is really unambiguous.

If you are not a cultivator of the ninth realm, it is possible to sit in a high position.

Except for the cultivation of the eighth realm, Li Qiong is outstanding in other aspects, whether it is his ability to do things, his time to serve Chang'an, or he has repeatedly made meritorious contributions.

If he can do it, will we be able to do it in the future?

Many people have similar thoughts in their hearts.

Chang'an's reputation for punishment and reward for meritorious service has always been very loud.

This time, everyone has a deeper understanding of this.

As a result, not only the Chu people, but even people from other parts of Eastern Xinjiang were also single-minded, and began to look for opportunities for meritorious service, hoping that their status and power would reach a higher level.

As for the two deputy chiefs of Chudi, one of them, as everyone expected, was the head of the Ling family, Ling Qingfeng.

Regardless of his strength or qualifications and fame, everyone is convinced.

But the second person was again beyond everyone's expectations.

The Eighth Realm Demon, Tang Ze.

When the appointment was announced, Chu Di was in an uproar again.

For Tang Ze, most of the high-level people in Chu know about it.

But its reputation is not good.

As the former commander of the secret guard of the Western Chu Dynasty, Tang Ze, who was conscientious and responsible, was notorious to the other forces of Western Chu.

In addition, he cultivated the Demon Dao and was ruthless, so Chu Di's backlash against this was even more intense than Li Qiong's being the chief manager.

However, a slight rebound was instantly suppressed by Chang'an.

The people of Chu can only reluctantly accept the reality.

Everyone can only smile bitterly in their hearts and comfort themselves:

Anyway, Tang Ze is also from Chu......

Compared with the most insipid Zhou Di, the candidates for the three chief managers of the Tang Land also caused heated discussions.

The head of Tang Land, the flower fell on the head of Yun Mo, the owner of Qingxia Mountain Villa.

This candidate was more or less unexpected.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Yun Mo is not enough, but in most people's expectations, he is one of the deputy governors.

In terms of personal strength, Li Jie, the master of the Great River Dragon Gate, is now the strongest cultivator from the Eastern Tang Dynasty in the past.

Even if the former Tang King Li Xuanxin is dug out of the grave, he may not be able to defeat Li Jie, who is now in great strength.

Li Jie's problem is that he has been in exile for a long time and has only recently returned, so he has made fewer contributions to Chang'an.

The people of the Great River Longmen under his door are conscientious and have made outstanding achievements.

Count on his head and fight for his position, Shang Jie, Han Zhe, Zhang Chong, Chen Yu and others are all willing.

However, since Zhang Chong has achieved the position of deputy head of Zhoudi, it is obvious that Li Jie is not qualified to sit in the position of head of Tang Land.

Everyone's most optimistic candidate for the head of Tang Land is to forget the truth and view the master, and to hold the dust and be a real person.

In terms of strength, the Dust Daoist broke through from the eighth realm and cultivated into the ninth realm Taoist real person.

In terms of meritorious qualifications, after the truth was revealed, everyone knew that he and Forget the Truth were the first top forces in the Eastern Tang Dynasty to take refuge in Chang'an, and even before Dahe Longmen and Qingxia Villa.

As for Jingyue Tower, Zheng Family, He Family, Xuan Yiyi, etc., compared with the Forgetting the Truth, it is too far behind.

Even if Zheng Tianfeng and Yan Xi also broke through to the ninth realm one after another, this time it was not their turn to make up their minds in the position of the head of Tang Land.

However, in the end, the position of manager still fell to Yun Mo, the owner of Qingxia Villa.

Yun Mo must be the first in every battle, and outstanding meritorious service is one thing.

On the other hand, many people speculate in their minds:

Chang'an City, which may not allow Taoism, has spread widely in eastern Xinjiang.

Similar speculations are not entirely unfounded.

In addition to the current failure of the real person in charge of the dust and the Tang Dynasty, there is also the process of Chang'an's conquest of the eastern frontier, which has continuously exterminated the famous Taoist families.

Forget the true view, Xuanyi, Biniu Palace, Yunxinguan, Lushan Palace, Linshan Temple, Fulu Palace and other famous Taoist families are still there today, but in addition to Fulu Palace, the other ones were not the powerful ones in their respective places before.

In contrast, there is another list that terrifies the various factions of Taoism in Eastern Xinjiang:

Qingyun View of the Eastern Tang Dynasty;

Zicheng Mountain, West Chu;

Liyang view of the Western Zhou Dynasty;

Northern Qi Xuanguan;

Eastern Jin Dynasty Sanxing Palace;

Southern Liang Tianyi Sect.

All of them are the top local Taoist sects.

Then the sects on the list were all wiped out.

Among them, it is not even deeply hidden, there is Baoyu Mountain where Ge Xin, the master of the ninth realm, sits in charge.

Zhichen Zhenren was extremely calm and had no complaints about his defeat as the head of Tang Land.

He made a special trip to Chang'an to thank him, and took over the position of two deputy chiefs with Li Jie.

Li Jie also has no problem with this.

He had dealt with Yun Mo and knew that although the other party had a strong temperament, he was not a cruel person.

Therefore, Li Jie doesn't care much about who is the right and who is the secondary.

Mr. Wuyun waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to leave with Yun Mo, and then met with the others.

A young man who looked to be thirty miles away.

"You don't want to go back to the land of the old beams?"

Mr. Dark Cloud looked at the other party quietly.

The young man bowed and saluted: "Although the younger generation has secretly practiced martial arts over the years, in order to avoid Xiao Keye's eyes and ears, it has been wasted too much after all.

Although he is trying to catch up with the passage of time, returning to Liangdi now will only bring shame to his father.

Therefore, I implore the seniors to allow the younger generations to go to other places and serve Chang'an. ”

The one who came was Xiao Zhaoyuan, the son of Xiao Zhaoyuan, the former king of Liang.

In the past, Xiao Keye wanted to cover up the truth about his murder of his brother and usurpation of the throne, so he left his nephew alive.

However, Xiao Hui has been under house arrest and forbidden to practice martial arts.

He himself also pretended to be a fun-loving gentleman to hide his true thoughts.

Until recent years, Xiao Keye has been on the throne for a long time, sitting firmly in the country, and gradually not worried about criticism from outsiders, and at the same time, seeing Xiao Hui's lack of ambition, he finally let him go.

Xiao Hui and Yang Qing, the principal of Luoqing Academy, took care of him, and his personal safety was finally guaranteed.

Later, Chang'an swept the Southern Liang, and Xiao Hui, together with others from Luoqing Academy, joined Chang'an.

What he said about worrying about disgrace to his father was actually only one aspect.

On the other hand, his stay in Nanliang may cause hostility from the Shi family, the You family, the Yan family, Lushan Palace, Chuyang Temple and other places.

Although his father Xiao Zhaoyuan has been deceased for more than 20 years, the shadow is still there.

Xiao Hui stayed in Nanliang and was soon able to gather some people's hearts.

Chang'an doesn't care, the You family, the Yan family and other Liangdi forces do.

Xiao Hui is now starting to practice martial arts again, and his cultivation strength is limited, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold.

Chang'an can tolerate him.

But in the face of people who are also loyal to Chang'an, it is impossible to take care of Xiao Hui with one over the other.

Yang is suddenly dead, and Luoqing Academy is also weak at the moment.

Xiao Hui also didn't want Luoqing Academy to be suppressed by others because of protecting himself.

After some consideration, Xiao Hui made up his mind to work elsewhere.

"If you can make meritorious contributions to Chang'an City, Chang'an City will be rewarded. ”

Mr. Wuyun said indifferently: "At that time, you can gain a foothold in the local area, or you can return to Liangdi." ”

Xiao Hui bowed to the end: "Thank you for your grace, Mr. Xie for your grace." ”

After he retreated, Mr. Dark Cloud's figure disappeared from the Heavenly Pivot Hall and came to the Heavenly Punishment Hall instead.

In the Heavenly Punishment Palace, another Liang person was sitting quietly in the prison room at the moment.

Mr. Wuyun appeared in front of the other party: "You insist on asking to see, what's the matter?"

The old man got up, saluted Mr. Wuyun, and then asked, "Dare to ask Mr., the king has died, isn't it?"

Mr. Wuyun bowed slightly.

The old man in front of him looked up to the sky and sighed.

"The old man was imprisoned in Chang'an, not only did he have no freedom, but he couldn't decide life and death for himself. ”

He arched his hand to Mr. Wuyun: "I implore Mr. to give the old man a death, accompany his old friend under the spring, and grant Daliang one more martyr." ”

Mr. Wuyun looked the other party up and down, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, the old man has fulfilled the old friendship between you and Xiao Keye." ”

Lu Chen, the dean of Nanliang Cicada Academy, solemnly saluted Mr. Wuyun: "Thank you, Mr. for your grace." ”

With that, he sat down again, closing his eyes slightly.

After a few moments, the breath was gone.

In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched this scene calmly.

The old era and the old people in Dongjiang have come to an end one by one.

Next, it's a new beginning.

Mr. Dark Clouds, which he projected, returned to the Tianshu Hall and issued an order to the entire Eastern Frontier:

"Today, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, and the line is the same. ”
