"The sinner He Dongtao specially begged Chang'an for forgiveness, hoping that Chang'an would forgive him."
He Dongtao, the patriarch of the He family, bowed to Mr. Wu Yun in Tianshu Hall.
Next to him is He Zhen, the elder of the He family who was captured by Chang'an earlier.
Mr. Wu Yun looked at the other party quietly: "Your Majesty has always been magnanimous. Anyone who is loyal to Chang'an and abides by Chang'an's rules will be tolerated by Chang'an."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, and thank you for your kindness, Sir." He Dongtao said respectfully.
Mr. Wu Yun glanced at him: "I know all about the little thoughts in your hearts, it's best to put them away.
Your Majesty has aspirations for heaven and earth, don’t presume to speculate on his old man’s ambitions, do you understand?”
He Dongtao and He Zhen both looked at each other. While thoughtful, they saluted Mr. Wu Yun again: "We are so shallow, how dare we speak ill of your Majesty."
"Yes, that's best."
Mr. Wu Yun said: "As far as your majesty is concerned, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is of no importance. The future general manager of the Eastern Tang Dynasty will be the one who has made meritorious deeds. Do you understand?"
He Dongtao took a deep breath: "Thank you, Mr.
The same news also made the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhan, breathe a sigh of relief and feel ecstatic.
Yan Xishi, the owner of Jingyue Tower, who knew this earlier, looked calm, but the light of ambition shone in his eyes.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun nodded with satisfaction.
But what’s even more satisfying is that the system keeps refreshing:
[Random Defense Mission 7.1 - Capture or kill the Ziye Taoist of Qingyun Temple who is the enemy of Chang'an]
[The city lord’s subordinates killed the Ziye Taoist who was the enemy of Chang’an, completed random defense mission 7.1, and obtained 500 upgrade experience points]
[Random Defense Mission 7.2 - Capture or kill Cheng Jingyuan of the Cheng family who is an enemy of Chang'an]
[The city lord's subordinates captured Cheng Jingyuan, who was the enemy of Chang'an, completed random defense mission 7.2, and obtained 500 upgrade experience points]
[Random Defense Mission 7.3 - Capture or kill Feng Wenhui, the chief teacher of Songyang Academy who is an enemy of Chang'an]
[The city lord's subordinates killed Feng Wenhui, who was the enemy of Chang'an, completed random defense mission 7.3, and obtained 500 upgrade experience points]
[Random Defense Mission 7.4 - Capture or kill Tong Yun, the vice president of Baima Academy who is an enemy of Chang'an]
[The city lord's subordinates killed Tong Yun, who was the enemy of Chang'an, completed random defense mission 7.4, and obtained 700 upgrade experience points]
Continuously recording 2,200 experience points made City Master Zhang feel very good.
In addition to these newly triggered defense tasks, there are also previous guard tasks:
[Random Guardian Mission 7.1 - Capture or kill Tang Wang Li Xuanxin and Wutian Peak leader Lin Ying who entered the city]
[The city lord successfully captured Li Xuanxin and Lin Ying, completed random guard mission 7.1, and obtained 2,000 upgrade experience points]
After two rounds, the number of experience points accumulated in the guardianship mission has reached 4,200.
However, as Zhang Dongyun himself had previously expected, the experience points required for the next seventh upgrade and expansion, whether it is construction tasks or guardian tasks, will require a full 10,000 points.
At present, there is still a long way to go!
City Lord Zhang gently rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers.
The defense mission is the same as the guard mission, only the person with the highest cultivation level on the other side is counted.
Just like Tang Wang and Lin Ying, the two ninth realms, "eaten" Taoist Tianyan and Cheng Qing, the four eighth realms.
In the defense mission, the leader with a high level "eats" the others.
Moreover, only Qingyun Temple, Cheng Family, Songyang Academy and Baima Academy triggered random defense tasks.
From this point of view, it is still a bit difficult to trigger.
Or, need some tips?
However, no matter what, with this random defense mission, it will be much easier to accumulate guardian experience points.
There was a smile on Zhang Dongyun's lips.
…………
When the Eastern Tang Dynasty was turbulent and the world was changing, other surrounding dynasties were also deeply shaken.
The one with the deepest relationship is undoubtedly the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The Ice Fire Valley is destroyed.
A large number of disciples of Wutian Peak were lost.
Among them even Lin Ying, the head of the Ninth Realm.
Even the Northern Qi royal family hired four masters to join.
Gao Tianxuan and Gao Tiansheng both had a very close relationship with King Qi and were his right-hand men.
Now that these two masters of the Eighth Realm are all out, it also has a huge impact on the strength of the Northern Qi royal family.
In addition to Gao Tiansheng and Gao Tianxuan, the second son of King Qi, Gao Zheng, and the sixth son, Gao Jun, were also lost in Chang'an, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
Yan Sheng, vice president of Shuofeng Academy, also had the same result.
The top masters of the entire Northern Qi Dynasty suffered heavy losses.
If the Northern Qi royal family previously had the intention of using Chang'an to attack famous sects such as Icefire Valley and Wutian Peak, then now they must unite everyone in the country to deal with the threat from the southwest.
The Eastern Tang Dynasty was destroyed and replaced by Chang'an.
Who will be next?
"Tell us about the changes in the south."
There are only four people in the Qi Palace at the moment.
In addition to King Qi himself, the remaining three people are his eldest son Gao Ju, third son Gao Zhao and fourth son Gao Zhong.
Previously, there were six people in the Northern Qi Dynasty competing for the position of heir apparent.
Gao Zheng and Gao Jun were trapped in Chang'an.
The fifth son of King Qi, Gao Keng, who is also the descendant of Ice Fire Valley, is currently in the area of Xihai County, leading an army to compete with the masters of Chang'an for Xihai County.
When the Valley of Ice and Fire was robbed, he was in the capital of Northern Qi, so he escaped the disaster.
Without the support of Ice and Fire Valley, his hopes of competing for the throne of the Crown Prince were greatly reduced.
Now he had no choice but to take the initiative and lead the army to fight Chang'an. On the one hand, he wanted to gain impression points in front of King Qi, and on the other hand, he also wanted to protect himself.
Currently in the palace, Gao Ju, the eldest son of King Qi, spoke first: "Chang'an occupies the Eastern Tang Dynasty. If it can be digested quickly, then the next step is likely to continue to expand outward. The first target is most likely to be me, Da Qi."
King Qi nodded slightly, without making any comments, and turned to look to the other side.
His third son, Gao Zhao, said: "My son is not trying to boost the opponent's ambition and destroy his own prestige, but if we can try to divert the disaster eastward and direct it to other places first, it will be more conducive for us to prepare for war."
Among the princes of Qi, Gao Zhao's situation was rather special.
There were five major sects in the Northern Qi Dynasty: two martial arts, two Taoists, and one Confucianism.
His Highness Gao Zheng is a student of Confucian Shuofeng Academy.
His Highness the Sixth Prince, Gao Jun, studied under Lin Ying, the head of Wutian Peak, a famous martial arts school.
His Highness the Fifth Prince, Gao Keng, studied at Ice Fire Valley, another major martial arts sect.
The third highness, Gao Zhao, and the fourth highness, Gao Zhong, studied arts at Yuquanfeng and Xuanminguan, two famous sects respectively.
All of them also practiced the secret martial arts of the Northern Qi royal family.
The Third Highness, Gao Zhao, and the Fourth Highness, Gao Zhong, both practiced Taoism and martial arts.
However, the fourth prince, Gao Zhong, has practiced the martial arts of his Northern Qi royal family to the seventh level, and the Taoism of Xuan Ming Guan is the sixth level.
The Third Highness, Gao Zhao, is on the contrary. His Northern Qi royal family’s martial arts is at the sixth level.
As for Yuquan Peak Taoism, it has been completed and reached the eighth level of Taoism!
He is the only one among the princes of Qi who can practice the inheritance of the master sect, and his level is even better than that of the Northern Qi royal family.
In the entire Yuquan Peak, the only person who can surpass him in strength is the headmaster of Yuquan Peak.
This got a lot of people talking.
I don't know if he is too loyal to Yuquan Peak, or if he simply gave up the throne of Northern Qi and only focused on becoming the next headmaster of Yuquan Peak.
"What Third Brother said is true, and I also think so."
Gao Zhong, the fourth son of King Qi, said.
"To which house will the trouble be directed?" King Qi's expression remained unchanged.
Gao Zhao said: "Choose one from Western Zhou, Western Chu, or Southern Liang. Western Zhou is the best, but it may be difficult. My suggestion is to choose Southern Liang or Western Chu."
King Qi suddenly changed the subject: "Southeast Li Hong, where is he now?"
"I live in a posthouse, but I often go to Shuofeng Academy's branch in the capital as a guest." Gao Ju, the eldest son of King Qi, replied.
King Qi nodded: "The Eastern Tang Dynasty has experienced great changes. It is inevitable that his mood will fluctuate. Jun'er is not here, and he has lost his old friend. Ju'er, please go ahead and greet him more."
Gao Ju replied: "My son, I obey the order, please rest assured, father."
King Qi continued to give instructions: "In addition, order Keng'er to come back, abandon Xihai County, and stop entangled with Chang'an."
"Yes, father," Gao Ju replied.
King Qi nodded, and then looked at his third son Gao Zhao and fourth son Gao Zhong:
"Help me invite Master Miaoqing of Yuquan Mountain and Master Zique of Xuanming Temple to come to the royal capital for a reunion."
Gao Zhao and Gao Zhong hurriedly responded: "Yes, father."
Just as King Qi had finished his order, someone from below suddenly sent an urgent report:
The Northern Qi army, including His Highness the Fifth Highness Gao Keng, as well as the masters from various nearby factions who assisted in the attack, originally successfully invaded Xihai County, but lost contact after that.
The people sent to contact and search for him all fell into the sea and were never heard from again.
It is speculated that Gao Keng and others were ambushed by the enemy and were completely wiped out...
After receiving the news, the four fathers and sons of Hope looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Gao Ju, the eldest son of King Qi, spoke with difficulty: "Father, I'm afraid Chang'an has already made up its mind to use us as its next target. If they want to divert the disaster to the east, the hope is slim."
His third and fourth brothers stood aside with serious expressions and no objection.
King Qi said nothing, stood up, walked to the window of the main hall, and looked into the distance.
After a moment, he did not turn around and said: "Be on guard against the southwest, but don't venture to the southwest of Xihai County yet. We will fortify you layer by layer. If Chang'an goes north, we will intercept them and report back as soon as possible."
Gao Ju and three others said in unison: "My son, I obey the decree."
Xihai County, Mr. Wuyun projected by Zhang Dongyun appears here.
Half of Xihai County is enveloped by the Invincible City system.
Gao Keng, the fifth son of the King of Qi, and others who dared to get close, naturally had no choice but to be caught in a trap.
Gao Keng, a seventh-level warrior who is also the head of the Northern Qi royal family and the Ice and Fire Valley family, once again contributed 500 points of guardianship experience to Zhang Dongyun.
The scope of Invincible City already covers nearly half of Xihai County, and Chang'an's sphere of influence will of course expand further outwards.
The entire Xihai County is now under the control of the Chang'an Security Department.
The important mineral veins such as Xifeng Iron produced here can naturally flow unimpeded and be fully supplied to Chang'an without being disturbed by the outside world.
The Chang'an army moved further north to expand its control area.
Mr. Wuyun smiled slightly, and his eyes no longer looked to the north, but turned to the west.
To be precise, turn southwest.
…………
At the same time, in the palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the King of Zhou was also urgently summoning ministers for discussion.
"Your Majesty, Chang'an is stronger than we previously estimated."
An old minister said slowly: "The Eastern Tang Dynasty has completely changed hands."
"Li Xuanxin, couldn't you even escape?" King Zhou asked.
The old minister looked solemn: "That's right. Not only is Tang Wang Li Xuanxin alone, but according to the current situation, at least Lin Ying, the head of Wutian Peak in Northern Qi, is also traveling with him. There is no news about two Ninth Realm masters, and their lives and deaths are unknown."
King Zhou frowned.
The officials below all looked extremely serious.
Someone whispered: "Tang Wang Li Xuanxin is very powerful. It seems that there are at least four ninth level masters in Chang'an City, and they are united."
The Eastern Tang Dynasty once had more than three Ninth Level masters.
It was only because the king of the Tang Dynasty concentrated his power on the killings, divided them up and defeated them individually, and killed more than one Ninth Level master in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, that it seemed that the manpower of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was a little thin.
Like the Northern Qi Dynasty, as we all know, the King of Qi plus the leaders of the five major sects are the six Ninth Realm masters.
There were not so many in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were only five people.
But in the royal family, there is only one King Qi.
If he wants to unite the other four people and advance and retreat together, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
But the masters in Chang'an City seemed to be extremely united.
Experts generally disagree with each other, which is rare and even abnormal.
"Or maybe there are people in Chang'an who are above the ninth level."
King Zhou opened his mouth and said slowly.
When the ministers below heard this, they couldn't help but feel even heavier.
"Your Majesty, it is rare that we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have a good relationship with Chang'an right now, and we often have business contacts. Now we might as well strengthen cooperation between the two parties and jointly deal with other dynasties." Some ministers suggested.
The person next to him smiled bitterly and said, "I wonder what happened to the two monks who went to Chang'an earlier."
