Those people in the dark pavilion felt heavy-hearted when they saw Zhang Dongyun's eyes.
It's as if the other party can see into their hearts at a glance.
It seems that I have never experienced such a terrifying feeling when facing my own pavilion master.
"Senior, you have misunderstood. We, the Mingguang Guards, are all acting under the orders of our superiors."
The leader said: "We are all just errand runners. How can it be our turn to know the real secret? If we really know something, we may be killed first."
The old man in black who transformed into Zhang Dongyun looked at him, smiling and saying nothing.
The other party felt his throat was dry and swallowed subconsciously: "I was mainly ordered to hunt down the remnants of the Chen family on this trip. I also collected some information about Longbei County along the way. I will bring some harvest with me. Senior, you can take a look at it."
He took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and opened it.
There are several letters inside.
Zhang Dongyun took it and put it away first, flipping through it immediately without being too busy.
"I'm still more interested in the news you dictated."
Those Mingguang Guards all looked bitter.
Before they could argue, the old man in black in front of them raised his hand, and black mist appeared, covering them.
Several people were in the black mist, and their companions could no longer be seen. Only themselves were left, and no one could see their fingers around them.
Zhang Dongyun's voice sounded in the darkness:
"I don't care what confidentiality rules you have in your secret room.
The rule here is that only one person can survive."
Hearing this, several Mingguang Guards were shocked.
They shouted, but no one else responded.
Now I am in a dark mist, as if I am the only one left.
One person is an independent world.
My vision was peeled off, and I could only hear sounds, as clear as if they were ringing in my heart.
"Whoever's answer satisfies me the most will live."
Zhang Dongyun said calmly: "You only have a quarter of an hour."
The people in the black mist were shocked and confused, and fell into silence for a while.
Zhang Dongyun doesn't care about this, he believes that the silence will be broken soon.
Outside the black mist, the three Chen clan members had complicated expressions.
The young boy's face was full of excitement. He looked at the black mist and was filled with the joy of having his great revenge repaid.
Although he did not deal with those Mingguang Guards himself, he still felt extremely happy.
I just feel that so many clan members and relatives have been killed and injured, and I have been angry and angry at the hardships on the escape journey for so long, and finally I can breathe a sigh of relief.
The mood of the other two middle-aged men was much more complicated.
Of course they were happy to be saved.
But the mystery of Chang'an City and the power of the old man in black in front of them made them uneasy.
The current situation is certainly much better than when he was hunted before, but the future is full of unknowns.
One of the middle-aged men pondered for a long time and then said: "Senior, I wonder if there is anything we can do to repay the kindness of taking you in and sheltering you?"
"What do you think you can do?" Zhang Dongyun asked casually.
One sentence made the other party speechless.
Another slightly older Chen clan member next to him said at this time: "The three of us are very weak and we are really useless. I wonder if our seniors can allow us to find other clan members to join us in Chang'an?"
Both of his kinsmen couldn't help but look at him.
The man's tone was still calm: "We have taken refuge in Chang'an, so we have accepted the kindness of the owner of this place and your predecessors, and we will definitely repay it with all our strength.
Although the Chen family has suffered a disaster at the moment, her heritage is still there, and I believe she can be of service to Chang'an City."
"Those who abide by the rules can find a place in Chang'an City." Zhang Dongyun spoke calmly.
The other party bowed his head: "Junior understands, I have thanked the Lord of Chang'an City and thanked my senior."
He said to the other two Chen clan members: "I'll go find the others, you two stay here."
The young man couldn't help but said: "Dad, I'll go with you."
Another Chen family member beside him patted him on the shoulder: "You stay here, I will go out of the city with your father, and we will split up to find the others."
The young man was about to say anything more, but his father stopped him: "That's it, you stay in the city alone, remember not to cause trouble, and keep a low profile."
"Yes..." The young man was a little reluctant, but he still obeyed his elders' instructions.
The two middle-aged men immediately said goodbye to Zhang Dongyun and left the city.
"There are no idlers in the city. Either work in the city or farm outside the city. It's up to you to decide." Zhang Dongyun said.
The young man looked embarrassed. He had never done these two jobs before.
But in front of Zhang Dongyun, he did not dare to neglect: "Junior, go to the fields outside the city."
The city was full of surrendered soldiers of the Tang army. Although he knew that these people were prisoners and were punished to work, he still felt a little uncomfortable among such a group of people.
Outside the city, in addition to the surrendered soldiers of the Tang army, there were also disciples of the Hanshan sect, so the young man subconsciously chose to go outside the city.
When he arrived at the field, he immediately became the target of onlookers.
Although everyone is in the same situation, everyone in the Hanshan Sect, and even those who were surrendered by the Tang Army, feel a sense of veteran superiority when they look at the newly arrived young man from the Chen family.
Zhang Dongyun in the city continued to interrogate those Mingguang guards.
The Chen family may not be large in number, but it was once one of the most famous families in the Eastern Tang Dynasty and had a long history of martial arts inheritance.
Although now there are only remnants left after the wind and rain.
But if there are a few talents who can do errands among them, it will be a gain for Chang'an City, which is just starting out.
As for them being suppressed and suppressed by the Eastern Tang Dynasty...
City Lord Zhang D hopes that the other party will come to Chang'an City to hunt him down.
However, it is still necessary to know yourself and your enemy.
The more intelligence information you have on hand, the more helpful it will be for the future development of Chang'an City.
Through these Mingguang Guards, Zhang Dongyun squeezed out some useful things.
For example, when they came to Longbei County this time, hunting down the Chen family was their top priority, but collecting local intelligence in Longbei County was not just a side job, but an equally important task.
The target was none other than Du Kun, the Xuanwu General who commanded the army and was stationed here.
Du Kun was very close to the prince of Tang Dynasty.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty also had deep grievances with the master of the Ange Pavilion.
To a certain extent, the prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the master of the dark night in the Eastern Tang Dynasty were mortal enemies in the court.
Of course, this should be the method of checks and balances used by the Tang king in the court.
But it always feels a little weird to have such two people opposing each other.
After learning about this situation, Zhang Dongyun's heart suddenly became full of gossip.
Could it be that the master of the Dark Pavilion is really the illegitimate son of King Tang?
Speaking of which, Dongtang is currently experiencing internal and external troubles.
On the one hand, there are battles with foreign enemies on the border, and on the other hand, there are internal turmoil regarding the position of the crown prince.
Zhang Dongyun laughed and shook his head.
He took out the package again and looked through the information collected by the secret cabinet.
As he watched, the smile on Zhang Dongyun's face disappeared.
"Du Kun has led his army to wipe out most of the refugees, leaving only the last one. Now it is gradually becoming a siege, and the refugees have no chance to break out."
Are the refugees about to be wiped out by Xuanwu General Du Kun?
