Zhu Hemen implored Chang'an to send troops to capture Qingyue County and drive away the forces of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Wangzhen concept.
It is true that they took the initiative to serve Chang'an, but if it happens, then Zhu Heguan, at least in Qingyue County, will have hope of taking a further step.
However, if Zhu Heguan knew that Wang Zhen Guan had already surrendered to Chang'an City, I wonder what their expressions would be...
"Zhu Heguan's matter will be left to you to deal with." Mr. Wu Yun ordered calmly.
Hu Yinghua was slightly startled: "Sir, we still need to get a charter. Chang'an is currently facing the use of troops. If we set foot in Qingyue County, we may be attacked by enemies on both sides."
Mr. Wu Yun looked calm: "Then what?"
"Then..." Hu Yinghua was stunned again, and then he came to his senses: "I understand, even if the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty join forces, how can they compare with Chang'an? I will go south to Qingyue County with the army."
Mr. Wu Yun waved his hand, and Hu Yinghua immediately withdrew.
Zhang Dongyun is so arrogant, not because he really doesn't take Dongtang seriously.
To be honest, with Shen Rong and Ao Kong trying to keep a low profile and not showing up, it would still be a bit stressful for the current masters in the city to deal with both the Northern Qi and the Eastern Tang at the same time.
Even if the King of Qi and the King of Tang don't personally take action, the two dynasties still have many masters of the eighth realm and are very powerful.
The first reason why Zhang Dongyun didn't care about taking over Qingyue County was that Wangzhen Temple was there as an internal support, and the weight of this internal support was greater than that of Zhuhe Temple.
The second thing is that he roughly guessed some of Tang Wang's thoughts.
The other party probably wanted to attack Yang Li first, thinking that Yang Li was a soft persimmon compared to Chang'an City.
Of course, this is indeed the case.
The king of Tang hoped to use Yang Li to understand the details of Chang'an and find a way to conquer Chang'an.
On this basis, the Eastern Tang Dynasty would first concentrate its forces to round up Yang Li.
For Chang'an, they will be patient for the time being in order to win with one blow later.
Now that Chang'an has swallowed Qingyue County, it will not face too strong resistance from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Hu Yinghua can do whatever he wants.
After taking over Wangzhen Guan, Taoist Zhichen and other masters of Wangzhen Guan can also join Chang'an in an upright manner and no longer have to act in secret.
As for the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it may be false and true, using Yang Li as a cover, but the actual goal is to raid Chang'an...
City Lord Zhang fully welcomes it.
Of course, from another perspective, he hoped that Dongtang would focus more on hunting Yang Li so that he could stay behind.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun slowly exhaled, calmed down and continued his practice.
With the help of Xuan Yuan Guo, it saved him some time, and the seventh realm was already close at hand.

Compared with the Northern Qi and the Eastern Tang, the current domestic situation in the Western Zhou Dynasty in the west is much gentler.
However, right now, it’s loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
The situation in neighboring countries aroused the vigilance of the monarchs and ministers of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Originally taking advantage of Chang'an City to attract the attention of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Western Zhou army invaded the border and attacked the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
However, as Chang'an City became more powerful and crossed the border to the Northern Qi Dynasty, destroying all the people in the Ice Fire Valley, the Western Zhou Dynasty's offensive against the Eastern Tang Dynasty gradually slowed down.
Although it looks intense on the outside, there is a lot of thunder and little rain on the inside.
Zhou Jun and Tang Jun were somewhat involved in Tacit Boxing and Taiping Boxing.
There is such a reaction because the development momentum of Chang'an City is too rapid.
It has exceeded the tone and psychological safety bottom line of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Chang'an and the Western Zhou Dynasty still had close and friendly relations.
But Hexi County is close to the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty. How can it allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?
The encounters between Ice Fire Valley and the Northern Qi Dynasty made everyone in the Western Zhou Dynasty wary.
At present, the two sides are friends rather than enemies, and there are frequent trade exchanges. After all, the Western Zhou Dynasty did not join forces with the Northern Qi and the Eastern Tang to blockade and suppress Chang'an.
But they were secretly on guard and nipped in the bud.
Tiexi County of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is only separated from Hexi County under the control of Chang'an by the Tielun Mountains, has a large number of Zhou troops and masters of the Western Zhou royal family, who are always on guard.
Even some famous sects in the Western Zhou Dynasty sent experts to Tiexi County to prevent Chang'an from making a sudden attack like the Northern Qi Ice Fire Valley.
Chang'an seems to be unaware of this and seems to be normal.
But the kings and ministers of the Western Zhou Dynasty did not dare to relax because of this.
"Master wants to spread Buddhism eastward, and I am naturally happy to support him."
In the palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the King of Zhou held a vegetarian banquet and was entertaining two monks.
There are two monks, one old and one young. The old monk has a peaceful look and a solemn appearance.
The little monk is handsome and cute, with a pair of big eyes rolling around, eagerly scanning the many delicacies at the banquet.
"Your Majesty's words are serious. This is my lifelong ambition."
The old monk clasped his palms together and said: "If it is true as you said, the people in Chang'an admire the Buddha's Dharma but fail to do so, and are even harmed by false teachings. This trip of mine is even more of a responsibility."
King Zhou smiled: "You have no joke."
The old monk nodded: "I just made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
His words were polite, but his voice was calm, neither humble nor overbearing.
King Zhou did not feel dissatisfied with the old monk's attitude, and raised his wine bottle: "Master does not drink, you can do as he pleases. I take this cup to respect the master and the Buddha."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old monk nodded.
Other courtiers of the Western Zhou Dynasty who were accompanying him during the banquet all raised their glasses with the King of Zhou.
The young monk followed the example of the old monk and put his palms together in a salute.
Then, after everyone put down their wine bottles, the young monk cheered silently, then began to move his chopsticks and eat non-stop.
The monarchs and ministers of the Western Zhou Dynasty seemed to be used to this, and they all looked at him with chopsticks and smiled.
The old monk glanced at him, his eyes seemed a little helpless, but he did not blame him out loud.
After the banquet was over, the master and the apprentice bid farewell to the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The King of Zhou specially arranged for a special person to escort them all the way east to the border of Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, can these two masters and apprentices play a role in containing Chang'an's energy?" Someone asked softly next to King Zhou.
As King Zhou returned to the palace, he said: "They came from the west and have a profound background. If they stay in our land of Zhou Dynasty, they will cause a hundred harms and no benefit.
Now send them to Chang'an and greet them from Chang'an. I will gain nothing but no harm.
It doesn't matter how big a splash they can make in Chang'an. It would be best if Chang'an dealt with these two monks."
"Wei Chen understands. Your Majesty has a long-term plan." The ministers beside him said quickly: "Wei Chen will order people to pay attention to the movements on the ground under the rule of Chang'an to see what the final outcome of the master and apprentice pair is. If anything goes wrong,
Immediately try to contact their colleagues."
"Go ahead."
King Zhou nodded, suddenly stopped, and looked toward the east in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes deep.
…………
Chang'an's rapid development and rise may cause uneasiness among surrounding forces, which Zhang Dongyun expected.
However, he doesn't care much about this, and even hopes that the more the better.
However, some information recently collected by Tianxian Palace shows that in addition to adding enemies, Chang'an seems to have gained more friends.
However, it can only be called a seeming one at the moment.
"Are you saying that within the territory currently notified by Dong Tang, horse farms have also been poisoned, and some places where spiritual beasts are tamed have also been targeted?"
Mr. Wuyun didn't even raise his eyelids.
The old blood-shadow demon sitting opposite him also had an expressionless face: "Who is coming and who is instigating me? It's hard to say right now."
"Then what are you doing here?" Mr. Wu Yun said indifferently.
"nonsense."
The old demon of blood shadow was even more angry: "Who knows if it is Nanchen and people from the Eastern Jin who sneaked into the Eastern Tang to poison? The envoys of those two families are all dealing with you. If not, why would I come to you?"
Mr. Wu Yun did not get angry when he heard this, but nodded: "Yes, you are indeed putting your best effort into doing things, and it is worthy of His Majesty to place you in Tianxian Palace."
The more condescending the other party's attitude was, the more unhappy the Blood Shadow Old Demon became.
However, he has become much better at cultivating qi now, and he is too lazy to argue with the other party. He just looks at Mr. Wu Yun quietly with an expressionless face.
"After I and Dong Jin and Nan Chen pass their Qi, they will explain to fellow Taoist He." Mr. Wu Yun shook his head.
The Blood Shadow Old Demon didn't seem to have any mood swings. He just nodded, stood up, and left directly.
But before he could walk out of the hall, someone else suddenly came in from outside.
When visitors see Mr. Wu Yun and the Old Demon Queen Blood Shadow, they should bow first: "Two seniors."
The person who came was none other than Hu Ming. He was the main responsible person in the Tianxian Palace, acting under the orders of Mr. He and the Blood Shadow Old Demon. He had taken on a big responsibility.
"What's the matter, so urgent?" The old demon of blood shadow frowned slightly.
"There is someone outside the border of Yunzhong County who has asked someone to tell him that he wants to join Chang'an."
Hu Ming said in a deep voice: "He said that he was behind the poisonings in the Eastern Tang Dynasty."
The old demon of blood shadow raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mr. Wu Yun smiled lightly and said, "Interesting."
Soon, the subordinates at Tianshu Palace also conveyed the news back as soon as possible, and the content was the same as what Hu Ming reported.
Tianshu Hall is responsible for various daily affairs, including dealing with the outside world on a plane basis.
The report Mr. Wu Yun received now was actually the other party's formal request, which finally reached Chang'an.
The old demon of blood shadow frowned slightly.
The news from his Tianxian Palace was faster than that from Tianshu Palace.
But the problem is that Tianxian Palace's news is smart and the transmission speed is fast, which is what it should be.
The fact that Tianshu Palace is so fast, not much slower than Tianxian Palace, makes Old Demon Xueying even more concerned.
"Want to meet together?" Mr. Wu Yun asked, "I am also a member of your demonic path."
The old demon of blood shadow didn't mean to save face at this time: "Okay."
He was alone in Chang'an and had few close followers. One of the important objective reasons was that there were too few demonic monks.
However, the mainstream concept has always been wary of and wary of demonic monks, and stayed away from them.
Now there are demon cultivators who have defected to Chang'an. It seems that their cultivation strength is not low. Of course, the old demon Xueying wants to win over them as soon as possible.
Mr. Wu Yun said calmly: "Okay, I'll let you know when someone comes."
From outside Yunzhong County to the inner city of Chang'an, even if you are a practitioner, it will take some time on the way.
When Mr. Wu Yun notified Old Demon Xueying again, when he came to Tianshu Hall, he saw a Confucian scholar sitting under Mr. Wu Yun.
