Hearing Zhang Dongyun's question, Ao Ying hesitated slightly.
The girl next to her smiled and tugged on her sleeve: "I'm sorry, sister. I was wrong to lie to you before, but I have to be careful not to bring someone pretending to be the daughter of the Ape Dragon King back to Chang'an to see His Majesty. She is one of my villains."
I am a gentleman with a heart, so I can’t keep you company here.”
Ao Ying shook her head: "I don't blame you. What you did was right. I was too reckless before."
She thought for a while and reported to Zhang Dongyun: "Dad and I agreed that if we get separated, we will meet at a place called Bo Yue Lake in Xiangxi County of the Eastern Tang Dynasty."
The girl smiled bitterly: "Dad is out of control and crazy. He may not remember the agreement at ordinary times. I can only hope that he will remember it on my birthday."
"Normally, I would order someone to pay attention there."
Zhang Dongyun said: "On your birthday, someone will accompany you to Boyue Lake."
Hearing Zhang Dongyun claiming to have changed, Ao Ying was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses: "Thank you...uncle."
"Go down and have a rest. Wuyun will arrange a place for you in the Daming Palace." Zhang Dongyun said: "After you have settled in, draw a portrait of Yingxiao's reincarnation and give it to Wuyun."
"Yes, uncle."
Ao Ying thanked Zhang Dongyun and exited the hall.
Zhang Dongyun healed her injuries, and her mind was no longer weak, but at this moment her spirit was still empty, and her heartstrings that had been tense for a long time were slightly relaxed.
Ming Yixue turned around to watch Ao Ying leave, the childish look on her pretty face faded away.
There was a hint of affection in her eyes: "Brother Eleven is acting like this, which really hurts the little girl."
Zhang Dongyun couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw the ten-year-old commenting on the sixteen-year-old Ao Luan.
"I'm very happy." He coughed dryly.
Shen Herong smiled and said: "Because Brother Eleven is not a traitor?"
"Not bad." Zhang Dongyun said.
"My little sister is also very happy, but..." The smile on Shen Herong's face disappeared.
"I'm very happy for every additional person who is credible. After all, not counting Yang Li, I am also suspicious of the remaining ten people."
Zhang Dongyun said slowly: "Now that I have you and my eleventh brother, it's very good, very good.
Yang Li, it is unreasonable to laugh at people like me."
"Little sister understands."
Shen Herong's expression also softened: "You are here, eldest brother, and brother 11. My little sister is also very happy."
"In addition to the eleventh brother's daughter, we have gained something else this time." Zhang Dongyun pointed his finger in the air.
In the main hall, the air fluctuates and the light shines, showing the scene outside the hall.
In the picture, there is a middle-aged man who is in dire straits and has a depressed look on his face.
"The people who were with Northern Qi Wutian Peak just now, but although they are from the same sect, they seem to be on different paths." Shen Herong glanced at them.
The middle-aged man in the picture is none other than Mu Hongyuan, who was born in Wutianfeng, a major martial arts school in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and later defected from the school.
"It is true that he was born in Wutian Peak of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but now, he is working for the Dongtang Ange." Zhang Dongyun said lightly.
Shen Herong's eyes lit up: "Brother, what you mean is that Yang Li is in the dark pavilion?"
The previous incident about the Heavenly Wolf's secret cave made Zhang Dongyun suspicious, and they roughly delineated the area where Yang Li might be hiding.
Now, Ange secretly sent people to pay attention to Huantianlong and "Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong.
Zhang Dongyun and Shen Herong coincidentally focused their attention on the Ange.
Put it on Murong Ting, the current leader of the dark pavilion.
"What are your plans, brother?" Shen Herong asked.
"There are already calculations." Zhang Dongyun said: "However, Yang Li is not stupid, he should have some guesses."
Shen Herong nodded: "As long as the elder brother has arrangements, the younger sister will go to Boyue Lake and wait to see if Brother Eleven will go there."
Zhang Dongyun said: "I'll just send someone else over to Boyue Lake. I have other things to do right now, and I'll leave them to you."
"Oh?" Shen Herong smiled: "Brother, what can I do?"
"The literacy foundation of the people in the city has been initially guaranteed, and we can raise funds for a higher level."
Zhang Dongyun said: "I intend to set up four-level schools under the rule of Chang'an to correspond to scholars of different ages and different levels of cultural knowledge."
"Four levels?" Shen and Rong asked with a smile: "According to the traditional classification method, four levels are too many. If you divide them into finer details, there are fewer four levels."
Zhang Dongyun said in a casual tone: "Currently, Level 4 is enough. We should proceed step by step. After that, people can continue to study and progress."
Shen Herong nodded: "Okay, I will make arrangements carefully so as not to disappoint my elder brother."
"There's no hurry. You've had a hard time going to Xinyuan County this time. Take some rest." Zhang Dongyun said.
Shen Herong said goodbye to him and left the hall.
Zhang Dongyun was the only one left in the hall. He leaned back on his chair and looked up at the top of the hall.
After Gao Jun, two eighth-level masters, Yun Mo and Chen Xingwen, were captured one after another, helping City Lord Zhang earn another huge sum of guardian experience points.
[Random Guardian Mission 5.5 - Kill or capture Yun Mo, the owner of Qingxia Villa who enters the city]
[Random Guardian Mission 5.6 - Kill or capture Wutian Peak Elder Chen Xingwen who entered the city]
[The city lord’s subordinates captured Yunmo who entered the city, completed random guard mission 5.5, and obtained 700 upgrade experience points]
[The city lord’s subordinates captured Chen Xingwen who entered the city, completed random guard mission 5.6, and obtained 700 upgrade experience points]
What is more regrettable is that the other people in Qingxia Villa, as well as Mu Hongyuan in the seventh realm, did not generate random guardian tasks, and were "eaten" by Yunmo, who had a higher level of cultivation than them.
Chen Xingwen came with the intention of peace talks, but was not immediately judged as an enemy by the system.
But the problem is that the moment he counterattacked the Purple Sun Demon, he triggered the mission.
The system doesn't care what his original intention is, nor does it care whether he is rational or not, or whether he is passively fighting back...
If Chen Xingwen wanted to avoid triggering the mission, other than being captured without resisting, he could only escape from the city without making a single move.
But he obviously couldn't do this, and he was not willing to fight back and let the old demon Ziri capture him and take him back to the city.
The result is to contribute 700 more guardian experience points to City Lord Zhang.
The last balance and previous mission rewards accumulated, plus today's 1,400 points, Zhang Dongyun's current guardian mission experience has accumulated a total of 6,700 points.
In terms of quantity, there is still more than enough to meet the standards for the fifth expansion and upgrade.
Now I am waiting for the experience points for the construction mission, and I have saved up to 5,000.
The task was given to Shen Herong. She took advantage of it and enjoyed it at the same time. City Lord Zhang could save a lot of worry.
I just don’t know how much time it will take. At the moment, Zhang Dongyun can only hope that the Twelve Sisters will do it as soon as possible.
However, these aspects are still within the scope of one's control, as long as one works hard.
Some things cannot be achieved by just relying on one's own efforts.
Zhang Dongyun stood up from his seat and walked around the hall.
The current situation of "Ape Dragon King" Ao Kong, what if he still doesn't go to Boyue Lake on Ao Ying's birthday? What should we do then?
Zhang Dongyun stopped and thought in his mind.
He projected Mr. Wu Yun and first interrogated Yun Mo, the owner of Qingxia Villa.
The other party intends to find Ao Kong, who has transformed into a mountain-moving demon ape, through Ao Ying.
Zhang Dongyun decided to investigate the reasons for the grievances and collect more intelligence clues before making a judgement.
While he was thinking about Ao Kong, the "Ape Dragon King", others were also thinking about him.
In Luyang City of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, there was a small bamboo building in the backyard of Mingguang Pavilion, which was dark and dark.
Even though it was daytime, the attic was still as dark as night.
In the darkness, suddenly two green lights lit up, flashing back and forth.
Those are human eyes.
At this moment, he was reading an urgent letter.
There is no need to light a lamp, and it does not affect the person's reading in a dark environment.
He looked very carefully.
He read the letter, which was less than a hundred words long, for a long time.
After a while, the man put the letter aside, closed his eyes and pondered.
Those two green lights disappeared immediately.
"Chang'an..."
After a long time, murmurs sounded in the attic.
The man stood up, walked to the door of the building, and opened the door.
The sun finally shined into the small building and illuminated the man's face.
It is none other than the master of the Xinke Ange Pavilion, Murong Ting.
He squinted his eyes, faced the sun, and looked towards the sun.
Dust flies aimlessly in the sunshine.
Murong Ting's thoughts were also a little confused at the moment and he needed to sort them out.
When the Mountain Moving Demon Ape in Yechuan County was causing trouble, he was preoccupied with something and didn't bother to send someone to keep an eye on it.
But later news showed that people from Chang'an City appeared there.
If we talk about the time in Yechuan County, we can also say that Chen Jiezhi originally wanted to find a kin of the Chen family, but coincidentally happened to meet the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape, but what about Huan Tianlong this time?
And the first time in the Heavenly Wolf’s Secret Cave.
It seems that Chang'an City sent out manpower to retaliate against the contradictory view of forgetting truth, and it happened to happen at the right time.
But who knows, whether they were rushing towards the Demonic Soul of Sirius in the secret cave from the very beginning?
This time, Huantianlong was finally brought back by Chang'an.
Although because Mu Hongyuan did not report it in time, Murong Ting was not sure whether it was a real demon dragon or a demonic practitioner.
But once or twice is a coincidence, but what about three or five times?
He didn't believe it was a coincidence...
Murong Ting looked northwest, toward the direction of Chang'an.
The sudden appearance of this mysterious city aroused his suspicion.
Now, it is almost certain.
However, he is still not sure who it is.
If the other party takes down Mu Hongyuan and knows that An Ge is also concerned about Huan Tianlong, then...
Will you also suspect me?
While Murong Ting was deep in thought, his subordinates came to report, and the King of Tang summoned him.
He gathered his thoughts, went to the palace, and went to the palace to see the king of Tang.
"White Horse Academy, is there any news?" Tang Wang Li Xuanxin asked.
"We have general information. The dean of White Horse Academy missed an appointment and did not go to Chang'an. He returned to the academy immediately after fighting with someone. It was not because of injury."
Murong Ting replied: "He should have been inspired after fighting against the opponent, so he returned to the academy to study quietly and digest the gains."
"So, he will go to Chang'an soon." King Tang nodded: "Have the identities of the people he fought with been found out?"
Murong Ting shook his head: "I only know that the other person's name is Zhang Zhongxing, and he comes from outside the Tang Dynasty. The specific origin is not clear yet. This person has disappeared in our country of the Tang Dynasty."
The King of Tang ordered: "Don't relax and continue to investigate."
Murong Ting promised: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"News came from Northern Qi that Gao Jun, Gao Tiankai's sixth son, was also detained by Chang'an City."
The King of Tang continued to give instructions: "The Northern Qi Dynasty intends to join forces with us, the Tang Dynasty, to encircle and suppress Chang'an. Murong Qing's family will then take charge of the dark pavilion and step up the collection of information related to Chang'an."
Murong Ting replied: "I will do my best to obey the decree."
Prince Tang nodded, and then motioned for everyone else to step back. Only he and Murong Ting were left in the palace: "Relax."
Murong Ting smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Having said that, my attitude is still respectful.
"I have been thinking about where the Chang'an City came from these days?" King Tang stood up and walked around: "Who is its owner? It is really mysterious..."
He came to Murong Ting and looked at him: "Just like you, isn't it?"
