Could it be that His Majesty intends to teach him more superior magic skills?
However, he needs to make a choice between healing and seeking advice.
It is naturally good that old injuries can be healed immediately.
But if he can learn the superior magic skills that His Majesty just used, he himself can also heal his wounds quickly.
Of course, it would be best if you could have both.
But as soon as this idea came up, the old demon Xueying rejected it first.
In the final analysis, it was because of my previous confusion that I became rebellious.
Your Majesty did not kill him on the spot, which was already merciful and generous.
Later, he was asked to inspect Baiyun Yuan, but he was beaten and defeated by Gao Qi and others, which made him fail in his mission.
How can I still have the nerve to seek His Majesty's reward if I haven't accomplished even a single achievement?
The old demon of blood shadow took a deep breath, and ignored the competition with the old man in black. He hurriedly handed over the captured Tang soldiers to the other party, and rushed to the Daming Palace himself.
The evil emperor transformed by Zhang Dongyun sat high on his seat, calmly looking at the old devil below.
"This old slave is incompetent and failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations. He must bear the blame for his death. I only ask Your Majesty to give me one last chance to make atonement for my sins. I will devote myself to my life and die."
Zhang Dongyun did not comment on the old devil's oath of allegiance, but seemed to mention something irrelevant:
"How much did you understand just now?"
The old demon of blood shadow showed a look of fear and shame on his face: "To answer your Majesty's question, this old slave is stupid, like seeing flowers in the fog, with only a little bit of skin..."
Seeing Zhang Dongyun not speaking but just looking at him, the old devil gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
Blood mist surged around him, and an illusory shadow rose above his head.
The shadow took on the image of a blood phoenix, fluttering its wings and ready to fly.
Zhang Dongyun glanced at it: "It doesn't even count as a bit of fur."
The old demon of blood shadow was full of shame: "Old slave is stupid."
"However, we have made a good start." Zhang Dongyun continued.
The old demon of blood shadow was delighted when he heard this.
He knew he made the right choice.
Healing and practice, one is in the present and the other is in the long run.
If you choose to heal yourself, you will inevitably give His Majesty the impression of being greedy for small profits in the short term.
If he chooses to practice, he will appear to be motivated, and your Majesty may give him another chance.
What's more, it is undoubtedly even more rare to learn superior magic skills from His Majesty.
"This "Phoenix Blood Book" is just right for your training, but..."
Zhang Dongyun is sitting with his hands folded in front of him, with his ring finger and little finger interlocked, and the tips of his middle finger, index finger and thumb facing each other.
"I will not reward those who have no merit."
The blood shadow old devil's heart felt like he was on a roller coaster, going up and down.
He smiled bitterly in his heart and said respectfully: "I understand, I will do my best to fulfill your Majesty's expectations."
"Well, let's go down."
Zhang Dongyun said casually: "Take care of the scrap metal in the city."
The old demon of blood shadow was startled for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "I will obey your majesty's decree!"
He left the Daming Palace happily.
The scrap metal my Majesty refers to undoubtedly refers to the arrows that were previously absorbed by the Blood Phoenix.
After surrendering the enemies, Zhang Dongyun stopped his hand and the blood phoenix dispersed. The arrows fell out of control and piled up at the city gate.
After the previous refining of the blood phoenix's evil power, some evil energy remained more or less on these arrows.
Although Zhang Dongyun did not immediately teach the Blood Shadow Old Demon the "Phoenix Blood Book", the old demon was ordered to collect those arrows and ponder them carefully, and there would always be some gains.
This made the old demon Xueying extremely excited.
Although the door to heaven in front of him is currently closed, His Majesty still left a crack in the door for him to reveal the dawn.
As long as he works harder and makes more contributions, he will definitely get the "Phoenix Blood Book"!
The old demon of blood shadow felt happy, and when he saw the old man in black, he felt much more pleasing to the eye than before.
The old man in black smiled half-heartedly as he watched the blood shadow flash through the air, and went to collect the arrows piled up at the city gate.
He turned to look at the crowd on the other side:
"If you invade Chang'an City, you deserve to die.
Your Majesty is generous and will spare your life, but death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be spared.
The only way for you to gain forgiveness is to build Chang'an."
The sound was not loud, but it reached the ears of every Tang army soldier steadily.
The crowd was silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
The old man in black clothed in Zhang Dongyun's incarnation was not anxious and took time to look at the crowd in front of him.
Noticing the cold smile at the corner of his mouth, someone stood out from the crowd.
Gao Qi's face was pale and his armor was in pieces.
He came to the old man in black and whispered: "We are willing to obey your orders, and I hope that you will not make it difficult for all the brothers in the robe."
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly: "Very good."
After saying that, he waved his hand and a drawing fell into Gao Qi's hand.
"I'd better leave your troops to you." Zhang Dongyun did not disrupt the formation of the Tang army in front of him, and he did not mind at all that Gao Qi was still the backbone of this group of Tang troops.
He simply handed over the master of Shanhu Hall and his subordinates to Gao Qi.
"I only care about the results."
Gao Qi lowered his head and said: "Senior, please rest assured, we will do our best."
He paused for a moment and stopped talking.
Zhang Dongyun seemed to know what the other party wanted to say: "Work hard and the rest of you will soon come to accompany you, including your general, if he knows what's going on."
Gao Qi and others felt a chill in their hearts.
Xuanwu General Du Kun will definitely come here after hearing the news.
They were originally worried that Chang'an City would force them to defend the city and become enemies of their former superiors and colleagues.
But hearing the old man in black's tone, he didn't take Du Kun seriously at all...
Some people are worried about their relatives at home and cannot ask questions at the moment, swallowing their words back in their stomachs.
Everyone had no choice but to work as coolies for a certain city lord.
They worked hard out of the city to cut wood and dig rocks, but they did not dare to escape and honestly transported their things back to the city.
With the diligent efforts of thousands of people, residential buildings began to rise in Chang'an City.
Finally, the city was no longer completely bare as far as the eye could see.
Chang'an is no longer an empty city and has become more popular.
While the city was prospering, the city lord himself was in a slightly unhappy mood.
He blocked other people's vision of him and came to the city wall.
Several arrows appeared in front of him, suspended in mid-air.
Zhang Dongyun looked outside the city, frowning and saying nothing.
He had just fired an arrow outside the city, and the power of the blessing was much greater than the crossbow itself.
Even the ballistae and ballistae can't compare.
Logically speaking, it should be able to fly very far.
However, once outside the city, the arrow still quickly lost its forward force and fell due to its own weight.
In fact, City Lord Zhang D was busy with his experiments at first and did not even think about using arrows to fight back against the Tang army outside the city.
As a result, the arrows rained out of the city and fell quickly and with great force, injuring many Tang soldiers.
The Tang army thought that there were also ambushes of crossbowmen in Chang'an City, so they fought back while charging into the city.
How did they know that City Lord Zhang D wished that the arrows flying out of the city would not be able to hit them and fly as far away as possible.
After Zhang Dongyun thought for a moment, he waved towards the ground.
A clod of soil separated from the ground in Chang'an City, rose into the air and came to his side.
Zhang Dongyun pierced the tip of an arrow into the soil.
Then, the arrows inserted into the soil were aimed at the outside of the city.
