The Huanglei Sect's status in the Western Zhou Dynasty was roughly equivalent to that of Dahe Longmen, Qingxia Villa and other famous martial arts schools in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
It is indeed rare for such a sect to secretly surrender to Chang'an.
In the Daming Palace, after Zhang Dongyun read the letter, he handed it to Shen Herong beside him.
After Shen Herong read it, he smiled and said: "Congratulations, brother, you are coming from all directions."
"The relationship between the Huanglei Sect and the Western Zhou royal family is very bad?" Zhang Dongyun asked.
Shen Herong nodded: "Judging from the information currently available, it is correct."
After Chang'an City completely dominated the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty, the tentacles of Tianxian Palace under the leadership of Shen Herong and Xueying Laomo also began to spread to other Six Dynasties outside the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty were at war with Chang'an, they naturally became the primary target of Tianxian Palace's current investigation.
"The Huanglei Sect has been suppressed by the Western Zhou royal family over the years." Shen and Rong said: "The relationship between the two parties is indeed tense, but the possibility of the Huanglei Sect's death cannot be completely ruled out."
Zhang Dongyun looked as usual: "Who is the leader of the Huanglei Sect?"
"The leader of the Huanglei Sect is named Zhuo Zui. He is relatively young, not yet forty, but he has reached the eighth level of cultivation early. He is a well-known martial arts genius in the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Shen Herong said eloquently: "Generally speaking, the Western Zhou Dynasty can only achieve his cultivation speed by defeating the king's descendants.
Seven years ago, the previous leader of the Huanglei Sect passed away and left a will, allowing Zhuo Zui to succeed him as the leader.
However, Zhuo Zui's reputation is not good, and some people in the Huanglei Sect are said to be dissatisfied with his muddle-headed attitude towards life.
It is believed that although Zhuo Zui is talented in martial arts, he is not good at handling the affairs of the sect, so that the Huanglei sect has been declining in recent years."
Zhang Dongyun listened quietly. After Shen Herong finished speaking, he asked: "What do you think of this person?"
"It doesn't match the rumors."
Shen Herong smiled: "How can a person who is just living his life do anything to contact Chang'an?"
It doesn't matter whether the other party really wants to surrender to Chang'an, or whether it is secretly colluding with the Western Zhou royal family and pretending to surrender.
Being able to do such a thing shows that this person is absolutely astounding and is not as dissatisfied as he appears.
"Reply the letter." Zhang Dongyun said: "Let him come in person, otherwise there is no need to talk."
Shen Herong smiled: "Okay."
It takes some time for messages to come and go.
However, when the other party replied again, it seemed to confirm Zhang Dongyun's previous guesses with Shen Herong.
The current leader of the Huanglei Sect, Zhuo Zui, personally crossed the border between the Western Zhou Dynasty and Chang'an and set foot in the territory under Chang'an's rule.
The current coverage of Invincible City has occupied the eastern border of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, when Zhuo Zui himself quietly crossed the battlefield between the two sides and had not yet left the five eastern counties of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was already clearly visible in front of Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun did not reveal the truth, but secretly led Zhuo Sui to Chang'an City in Longbei County by someone from Chang'an.
When they first arrived in the Longbei County area, the visitor's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the fourth outer city wall that stretched across the plains for thousands of miles.
Without saying a word, he followed the person responsible for ushering him through the city walls and finally arrived at the Tianshu Hall in the inner city.
Mr. Wu Yun, projected by Zhang Dongyun, quietly watched the other person come in.
Zhuo Sui is nearly forty years old, but his appearance is still young, probably only between his twenties and thirties.
He has a handsome appearance, but his expression is lazy and somewhat careless.
Only when he arrived at Tianshu Hall and saw Mr. Wu Yun did his expression become more upright.
But he looks more like a wanderer traveling alone in the world than the leader of a group, so he seems a bit out of place.
"Your Excellency must be Mr. Wuyun."
The man saluted and said, "I am of the Huanglei Sect, and I have committed a great crime."
"Master Zhuo keeps his secrets secret." Mr. Wu Yun said calmly.
Zhuo Zui smiled: "Thank you, sir. The strength of King Li Xuanxin of the Tang Dynasty is well-known among the warriors of the Seven Kingdoms of Eastern Xinjiang. The entire Eastern Tang Dynasty was destroyed under Chang'an City, so I naturally yearn for Chang Anxin."
To be honest, the Western Zhou Dynasty suppressed the Huanglei Sect more and more seriously, and our sect was overwhelmed, so I hope to ask Chang'an for asylum, but Chang'an has orders, and Zhuo and the Huanglei Sect have nothing to say."
His tone was frank now and he seemed much more serious.
But Mr. Wuyun remained expressionless: "What I said about hiding something secret does not refer to your decision this time, but to the fact that you have successfully deceived many people."
When Zhuo Zui heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
He looked up at Mr. Wuyun.
Mr. Wu Yun looked at him quietly.
Zhuo Zui lowered his head slightly: "Chang'an deserves to be Chang'an. Your Excellency has good eyesight, but you are just too petty."
After saying that, his whole temperament seemed to have changed.
Loose and restrained, the whole person appears deep and capable.
But the most important thing is that he exudes the aura of a leader and a king who overwhelms everyone.
This leader of the Huanglei Sect is clearly a martial arts expert in the ninth realm.
The Ninth Realm under the age of forty is extremely rare in the entire history of Eastern Xinjiang.
In today's world, the only martial arts master known to the world who reached the ninth realm before the age of forty was the current King of Chu, Xiang Qianqiu.
"Now, we can talk." Mr. Wu Yun said calmly.
Zhuo Zui cupped his fists and saluted: "Unless I mean to deceive you, I hope you will forgive me."
Mr. Wu Yun nodded: "The warriors of the ninth realm, who have condensed the energy of the giant net, will not bow to each other easily. With your cultivation, the Huanglei Sect is regarded as the most famous martial arts sect in the Western Zhou Dynasty. If the Western Zhou royal family wants to take advantage of you, it is not possible.
Easy."
Zhuo Zui said: "However, I don't just want to survive in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
What I want is to overthrow the rule of the Ji family of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but to achieve this, it is difficult for Zhuo and the Huanglei faction to do it alone."
Mr. Wuyun looked at the other party quietly and said nothing.
Zhuo Zui continued: "I was lucky enough to reach the ninth level, but I thought my strength was not enough to defeat the King of Zhou, so I surrendered to Chang'an."
Mr. Wu Yun said at this time: "You have endured it for so many years. You don't look like a person who has no confidence in yourself. Why don't you continue to persevere and rely on your own strength to feel proud?"
Zhuo Zui was silent for a while, and after a long while, he finally spoke slowly: "I want to save people, but I can wait, but the people I want to save may not be able to wait."
"Who to save?" Mr. Wu Yun's expression remained calm and calm.
Zhuo Zui raised his head again and looked at the other person.
Mr. Wuyun's expression was indifferent, but his eyes seemed to be able to see into his heart.
"It's a matter of personal privacy, sir, can you please not ask?" Zhuo Zui said with difficulty.
"No." Mr. Wuyun refused indifferently.
Zhuo Zui felt a little angry in his heart, but he suppressed it immediately.
"Zhuo wants to save... my father!" Zhuo Sui let out a long breath.
"Where is your father?" Mr. Wu Yun continued to ask.
Zhuo Zui said: "In the Western Zhou Dynasty Prison, they know that there was a child back then, but they don't know that the child is me. However, they have tortured my father all these years. His old man... can't hold on for long. I can't wait any longer."
Mr. Wu Yun raised his eyebrows: "Who is your father-in-law?"
Zhuo Zui was silent for a moment.
But now that he had spoken, he answered: "My mother was the former Queen of Zhou, and she has passed away many years ago."
Mr. Wu Yun nodded slightly: "I am very satisfied with your honesty. This is the basis for us to continue talking.
The Western Zhou Dynasty offended the majesty of our Majesty, and they are destined to pay the price.
As for the price, it depends on whether they sincerely repent.
Your Majesty is tolerant and can tolerate anyone as long as he sincerely surrenders to Chang'an.
Including you and the Huanglei Sect, as well as the Western Zhou royal family.
Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Zhuo Sui's expression was completely calm at this time: "I and the Huanglei Sect are willing to prove that we are more loyal to Chang'an than the Western Zhou royal family. We are willing to do everything for Chang'an, just to overwhelm the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Mr. Wu Yun nodded: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. This is the rule set by Your Majesty.
If you and the Huang Lei Sect have accomplished enough meritorious deeds, Your Majesty and I will not be stingy in rewarding you.
Next, let me see your performance."
"Please rest assured, sir." Zhuo Xingui bowed and then left.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun held his chin, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
Unexpectedly, there was such a big gossip within the Western Zhou royal family.
Queen Zhou brought a big cuckold to King Zhou.
The crystallization of love is a sin.
It's no wonder that his father was imprisoned in a heavenly prison by King Zhou and tortured for many years.
However, it was really hard for Zhuo Zui to endure it for so many years.
He knew clearly that his father was suffering, but in order to save him, he had to hide his identity and pretend as if nothing had happened, so he could only practice hard in secret.
Zhang Dongyun shook his head slightly, sighing.
Just as he was sighing with emotion, other news came from Tianxian Palace.
This time the news was no longer from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but from the Western Chu Dynasty in the southwest.
After a period of intensive preparation and planning, a large army of the Western Chu Dynasty entered Tonglu County in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the army of Western Chu, there was also Liang Shi, the elder of Yuanxianshan, a famous martial arts sect in Western Chu, who commanded his disciples and acted with the army.
When Tonglu County sent a letter to inform Chang'an, local resistance had already begun.
The Zhao family, one of the six famous families in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, had its ancestral home in Tonglu County.
They have had a feud with Yuanxian Mountain in Xichu next door for many years.
Unfortunately, Yuanxian Mountain was backed by the Western Chu army this time, and with the help of the Western Chu military marshal Chang He, a master of the eighth level, they were able to conquer Tonglu County with overwhelming force.
The Zhao family members suffered heavy casualties.
The head of the family, Zhao Zhan himself, was also injured.
Fortunately, Tianxian Palace investigated the surrounding Six Dynasties news, noticed the movement of the Western Chu army gathering, and informed them in time.
Therefore, the Master of Wangzhen Guanzhen, Taoist Chen, and other experts promptly supported Tonglu County, and Zhao Zhan was able to survive.
However, when Taoist Zhichen was fighting with Marshal Chang He of Western Chu, who was also in the eighth realm, a spear suddenly rushed out, aiming directly at Taoist Zhichen's body shrouded by the colorful phantom clouds.
This shot, in terms of strength, speed, skill and killing intent, is all superior to Chang He!
Xiang Qianshan, a master of the eighth level of the Western Chu clan and the younger brother of the King of Chu, suddenly came out and aimed his gun at Taoist Zhichen's vital spot.
