Not long after Qing Shu went down to deliver the order, Hui Yuanwu, who seemed to be in a very good state of mind, walked into the study. When he saw Zhang Yu, his eyes were full of respect. He saluted and said with great energy: "I've seen you before."
Xuanzheng."
Zhang Yu looked at him for a few times and said, "My Taoist friend is quite diligent in his practice."
Hui Yuanwu shook his head repeatedly and said: "My little effort doesn't matter. Compared with Xuan Zheng, it's a world of difference."
He looked more solemn at this time, "Huimou's long-cherished wish is to merge the various factions and restore the Xuanfu to its previous structure. Now that Xuanzheng has done it, I would like to thank Xuanzheng here!"
After saying that, he bowed to Zhang Yu again, and when he raised his head again, he said with some expectation: "I have also heard about the people from Shuangzhou outside the territory. Is there any place where I can use them?"
He had been in seclusion since he was injured, and he only came out after the New Year. Only then did he hear that Zhang Yu had integrated all the factions outside the territory and was now responsible for containing the Shuangzhou people.
After learning this, he was also very excited, so he took the initiative to come over and wanted to contribute to this.
Zhang Yudao: "Fellow Daoist Hui is willing to help, which I really hope for. It just so happens that I need to set up many outposts outside the territory to monitor the movements of people in Shuangzhou. However, this may be a bit dangerous. I wonder if Friend Daoist Hui is qualified?"
Hui Yuanwu said without hesitation: "I am willing!"
Zhang Yudao: "Fellow Taoist cannot do this alone. I will send several colleagues to go with you."
Hui Yuanwu said happily: "This is the best."
Zhang Yudao: "Fellow Taoist, you can go back and wait for the news."
Hui Yuanwu nodded. When he left, he hesitated. In the end, he didn't say anything. After a salute, he left.
Zhang Yu knew what he wanted to ask. It should be about Taoist Wan Ming and Qi Yu, but he didn't need to explain it. After so many years of observation and testing, he could confirm that Hui Yuanwu was indeed a creature.
people.
In fact, he has no prejudice against others. Just like Qing Shu and Qing Xi, he can be treated as a normal person.
But thinking that his own wishes, and even his life and death, might be in the hands of a certain force behind him, he had to be on guard.
Therefore, he cannot reuse such a person, and it is impossible for him to do some key things, and he needs to send someone to keep an eye on him. The current arrangement is also designed to avoid the center of the whirlpool and to avoid others.
It's good for you all.
In fact, in the Xuan Palace now, there will be someone responsible for monitoring anyone whose identity and origin are doubtful. Once something changes, they will respond in time. However, as long as these people have not done anything outrageous, he will not take action.
.
Time flies by very quickly. As soon as the end of the month passes and February enters, Kaiyang Academy welcomes many new students.
Because of the war in the north, Kaiyang Academy also relaxed the conditions for entering the academy. This year, there are more than 10,000 students. After the new year, the academy, which was originally deserted, suddenly became full of popularity.
Zhang Yu occasionally goes to the martial arts training ground for a walk, but now he doesn't have much time to do the things of the dean. He just dispatched a group of suitable Xuan cultivators from the Xuanfu to be responsible for giving guidance to the students.
.
In the days after he came down, in addition to daily practice in the academy, he also dealt with the Xuanfu affairs left behind by Yun Chen after his retreat. On the 12th, he received a letter from outside the domain, saying that it was Cao Fangding.
Now that he had returned from abroad, he felt refreshed.
Before returning to Qingyang, he sent Cao Fangding to explore the location of Shuangzhou according to the map. Now that he is back, there must be news.
So he left Qingyang Shangzhou again and took a flying boat to the Fangtai Taoist station.
When he arrived at the boundary, he found that the place was very different from years ago.
In order to prevent the Xuan soldiers from being bombarded, the original mountain ridge where the camp was located has been abandoned, only some symbolic buildings have been placed, and all the caves and residences have been moved underground.
In fact, many of the fortresses built on the ground in the two mansions can also resist the bombardment of Xuan soldiers, such as the military fortresses currently advancing all the way to the north.
It's just that building these things is both expensive and impractical for Xuanfu.
For Xuan Xiu, if necessary, the station can be abandoned at any time. Even if it is some key places, it can be retrieved after gathering enough strength.
After entering the station, he immediately ordered his disciples to summon Cao Fangding.
After waiting for a while, Cao Fangding walked in, bowed his hands and said, "I have met Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu also gave a courtesy, invited Cao Fangding to sit down, and said, "Did your trip go smoothly, fellow Taoist?"
Cao Fangding said in a deep voice: "Xuanzheng, Lin Daoyou's map is very accurate. I used the visual map to explore and easily found the location of Shuangzhou. However, the outer edge of Shuangzhou is very tightly guarded. Within a thousand miles, no matter on the ground,
There are creations parading underground or in the sky, and some of them are so tiny that I almost discovered them a few times, so I couldn't go too deep."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment that these creations were so tight, obviously to guard against monks, because the visualization map could usually only jump thousands of miles. At this time, he stood up and waved his sleeves, and suddenly a map of Shuangzhou with light gathered appeared out of thin air.
, pointed and said: "Which corner of Shuangzhou did Fellow Daoist Cao see this time?"
Cao Fangding stood up, clicked on the southeast corner, and said: "It should be here. I walked around again later. Its outline is similar to the map, and there are some dissimilarities, but it should roughly be
It’s right here.”
Zhang Yu understands these differences. Lin Xuansheng said that he has not been to Shuangzhou in twenty years. If there are no accidents, this should be a change in these years.
Cao Fangding said: "It's just that during my inspection this time, I didn't see too many houses on the ground. This may be because the place I came into contact with was the border of Shuangzhou. However, I guess that most of the buildings of Shuangzhou people should be
It was built underground."
Zhang Yu agrees with this view. The current location of Shuangzhou is either far or close to Qingyang Shangzhou, but it has not been noticed by the two governments for such a long time. In addition to some people who are deliberately concealing it, I am afraid there are also them.
The reason for covering up well.
He looked at the map for a while and decided to launch a surprise attack on Shuangzhou.
This is not to destroy Shuangzhou, but as a retaliation for the last action. He wants to tell Shuangzhou that he also has the ability to attack his own continent, so that he can no longer go to Qingyang Continent unscrupulously.
But if conditions permit, we should try our best to destroy valuable places, such as flying boat docks, military camps, granaries, armaments stations, factories, etc.
So he needs a more detailed investigation.
In addition, he needs more magical weapons and more mysterious weapons so that he can carry out large-scale destruction.
Although the supplies provided by the two governments were reduced by half, he got a lot of mysterious weapons from the wreckage of the fighting flying boat captured last time.
These mysterious weapons were hidden deep in the secret box. Even if the flying boat exploded, they were not damaged. Now he has given them all to Wu Ze to see if he is sure to crack them. If so, he can directly use this batch of frost
Use the weapons of the Zhou people to bombard the Shuangzhou people.
After thinking about it, he said: "I need Fellow Daoist Cao to go one more time. This time I need you to go deep into the hinterland of Shuangzhou to explore. If you need anyone's help, you can tell me directly."
Cao Fangding thought for a while and said: "If you want to investigate deeply, you must avoid those creations. Maybe you can ask fellow Taoist Wen Liang to help me, so that it will be easier to get over."
Zhang Yu nodded. Wen Liang was the original leader of the Miaoling Sect. He was particularly good at creating psychedelic concealment techniques. His level was so high that it was difficult to tell the truth from the truth.
On his way back to the continent last time, it was precisely because he used visualization diagrams to cover everyone that Zhong Lie and the others did not notice that the leaders of each faction were following his flying boat. Cao Fangding undoubtedly wanted to take advantage of this.
bit of power to bypass those creations.
The advantage of monks is that they are ever-changing. Unless the creation reaches a certain level, no matter how strict you are on guard, you will not be able to guard against these endless means.
He said: "Okay, I will call fellow Taoist Wen later and ask him to go here with fellow Taoist Cao. In addition, I will send two more fellow Taoists to take care of you. Remember to put your own safety first. If you find anything wrong, report it as soon as possible.
Evacuate.”
Cao Fangding bowed solemnly and said, "Cao has written it down."
Under the ruins in the southwest of Qingyang, after a month, the tall man once again walked into the military fortress deep underground.
After he entered the rear cabin along the long cabin, he lifted his hat, raised the crystal jade box in his hand to the sturdy old man sitting there, and said: "I have brought the things, and you can do what you promised us."
here we go."
While talking, he walked aside and placed the crystal jade box on the table.
The sturdy old man stood up, came to the desk, reached out and flicked the crystal jade box. As a burst of light flashed, the box cover moved to the side. He took out an ink stick-like object and stroked it with his hand.
After two clicks, he put it back, then took out a jade box from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "What you want, you need to find it yourself."
The tall man frowned and said: "Where are your candidates? Where can I find someone suitable for this outer armor in a hurry?"
The strong old man said: "I can't help you with this. It's already an exception to exchange outer armor with you. If you don't want to..." He stretched out his hand and pointed, "Then pick up your things and walk forward here.
, go directly back to the ground."
The tall man was silent for a while, and then reached out his hand to take the things over. Although it was a bit troublesome to find candidates, it could be overcome, and it seemed more secure to use his own people. However, he was also a little unhappy at being forced to make a choice by the other party.
, after putting things away, he turned around and walked out without saying hello.
The sturdy old man raised his head and said to him: "By the way, regardless of failure or success, we also want a copy of the battle record afterwards."
The tall man paused slightly, resisted the urge to curse, and walked out quickly.
