In addition to Li Dong and Li Dan, there were also a few former members of the Li family who followed them and completely gave up other ideas and sincerely surrendered.
Under the leadership of Li Dong and Li Dan, these people all left the land of the Tang Dynasty and headed for the Chu land.
Although everyone is very nostalgic for their hometown, just like Xiao Kun was forced to leave Liangdi.
As a former royal family, continuing to stay in the Tang Dynasty would be harmful rather than beneficial to them now.
Now that Li Qiong has established a foothold in the old Chu land, it is better for the Li family to follow him and multiply in the Chu land.
In this way, there may be a chance to return to Tang Dynasty in the future, instead of being targeted and surrounded by many other forces now.
Chang'an City tacitly allowed them to follow Li Qiong to the land of his old Chu.
In addition to the Li family, the general manager of each place is in the local area. As long as they do not delay the errands ordered by Chang'an City, they can give preferential treatment to their own subordinates.
This can also be regarded as preferential treatment given to the general managers in various places.
Li Dan, Li Dong and others followed Li Qiong.
Li Hong, Li Xuannian, Li Yi and other people who refused to bow their heads continued to be imprisoned and served as coolies.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun didn't care much about this.
However, after dealing with most of the prisoners, the entire Eastern Xinjiang has completely returned to its original home, and there will be no further trouble.
The recruitment and admission of a large number of talents also brought Chang'an into a period of high-tech development.
In the past, although there was trade between the seven countries in Eastern Xinjiang due to territorial issues, it was somewhat restricted.
But now, the entire Eastern Xinjiang is under the control of Chang'an, so that we can exchange what we have and develop efficiently.
Mountain God Rocks, Green Pine Stone Crystals from Tang Di, Xifeng Iron from Qi Di, Undersea Black Jade, Miaolong Stone from Chen Di, East China Sea Amethyst, etc. A large number of materials that were originally embargoed began to be integrated, gathered together, and exerted themselves.
Huge effect.
Lord Zhang in the Daming Palace was very satisfied with this.
What satisfied him even more was that the entire Invincible City, and even other parts of Eastern Xinjiang outside Invincible City, were making rapid progress in education and literacy.
After Shen Herong successfully reformed and broke through to the realm of Confucianism and Wenzong, she took over related matters again, and issues in education developed even more rapidly.
With Shen and Rong helping to share the burden, Zhang Dongyun can allocate more energy to his own practice.
One day, Lord Zhang was breathing and breathing with his back against a large piece of undersea jade.
In his mind, a system prompt suddenly sounded:
[The cultural quality of residents in the city has improved, literacy teaching has been very effective, the illiteracy rate of residents has dropped back to below 10%, the city has successfully completed construction task 8.2, and received an upgrade experience reward of 2,500 points]
Zhang Dongyun's eyes lit up when he heard the sound.
He stood up, waved his hand, and the huge black jade stone behind him disappeared.
City Master Zhang moved his limbs and muscles while scrolling through the system task list.
Finally completed another construction task.
In this way, the accumulation of construction experience has reached 6,600 points.
Great progress has been made, but compared to the 1,400 points required for upgrade, it is still less than half.
We still need to keep working hard... Zhang Dongyun sighed in his heart.
He looked at the new assignment:
[Construction Task 8.3 - The city continues to expand, and its influence has successfully covered the entire Eastern Xinjiang. However, Middle-earth, which is across the sea from Eastern Xinjiang, still lacks a foothold and influence. The city owner is requested to successfully establish a landing fulcrum in Middle-earth first]
Zhang Dongyun was thinking while reading the mission description.
This was pretty much what he had imagined before.
Ordering Nanhai to step up shipbuilding, and ordering Huifang Zhenren and Chen Yu to figure out how to build a movable formation, were all for this purpose.
Eastern Xinjiang has been pacified, and it is time to move towards Central China.
For the former Evil Emperor, as well as Shen Herong, Ao Kong and others, perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them as "returning to Middle-earth".
Zhang Dongyun moved his neck.
In the process of popularizing education and literacy, Huifang, Meng Shen and others also achieved remarkable results.
Meng Shen and Chen Chaoyan continued to arrange formations one after another on the land of Eastern Xinjiang.
This headmaster Xuan Yi had a premonition.
The moment when everyone's formation is successfully arranged, it should be the moment when he becomes the soul.
Chen Chaoyan set up formations with him and also benefited a lot from the path of spiritual practice.
However, Zhang Dongyun is actually more concerned about whether she has been touched by her past wisdom because of the Four Nine Chongyang Sword Formation in the Chunyang Palace in the past.
She and Meng Shen have not yet left the confines of Invincible City, so Zhang Dongyun has a very tight grasp of her situation.
At present, there is still a lack of results in this regard.
Zhang Dongyun is not in a hurry and just does some leisurely chess.
On the other hand, Master Huifang and Chen Yu also achieved results.
They have successfully figured out a mobile formation using the sea as a geographical advantage.
At present, it has officially entered the process of improvement, improvement, and continuous replication.
Large ships one after another, transformed by Master Huifang and Chen Yu, carry powerful formations.
When the ship entered the ocean, it faced rough waves that could tear the ship's hull into pieces in the past, but it felt like walking on flat ground.
Using the ship itself as the eye of the formation, the formation's radiance flashed, covering an entire area of nearly a kilometer in the formation.
The water is calm and the wind is beautiful.
One ship is certainly not enough.
Master Huifang and Chen Yu worked overtime.
At present, every once in a while, a Shenzhou giant ship blessed with formations will be launched into the water.
A huge ocean-going fleet is gradually taking shape.
In the South China Sea, after a certain amount of adaptive training and training of more sailors and boatmen with experience in ocean navigation, the fleet can head to the West China Sea.
By then, the vast sea between Middle-earth and Eastern Xinjiang will no longer be a barrier to ordinary mortals.
The formations blessed by Master Huifang and Chen Yu on the big ship not only resist wind and waves, but also increase the speed of the ship.
Only in this way can we cross the sea that is tens of thousands of miles away between China and Eastern Xinjiang.
Seeing that everything was on track, Zhang Dongyun nodded with satisfaction.
After thinking for a moment, he recalled Shen Herong.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Shen Herong walked into the main hall.
In this life, she was almost twelve years old, and her figure gradually began to grow taller, and she was no longer as petite as before.
However, comparing her current age, Zhang Dongyun estimated that she would probably still be relatively slim when she becomes an adult in this life.
"Yingxiao, I am living in Taiqing Palace. It is difficult for Eighth Sister to gain anything for the time being. Ask her to come back first."
Zhang Dongyun said: "Being here with me will help her practice and improve like you and the eleventh brother, and restore her old appearance as soon as possible. As for the Taiqing Palace, sooner or later she will not be able to escape."
Shen Herong said with a smile: "What the elder brother said is reasonable, but the eighth sister has always been stubborn. You can't persuade her to reply, and the younger sister is even less sure."
"If she insists on not replying, you might as well accompany her."
Zhang Dongyun said: "We have been separated for so many years. We meet again after a long separation, but we are separated immediately. It is even more hurtful to have something gained and lost again."
Shen Herong nodded: "Okay, my little sister also misses the eighth sister very much."
…………
While Zhang Dongyun was talking to Shen Herong, two uninvited guests also came to the area of East Xinjiang and Xihai.
In the sky, the sun is shining brightly and there are white clouds.
But in the white clouds, two figures gradually stood out, but they were not noticed by outsiders.
"Let fellow Taoist laugh. This is Pindao's first time in Eastern Xinjiang."
Tong Kai, the elder of Qinglong Sect, looked at the distant continent and said slowly.
Beside him, Master Yunluo of Taiqing Palace smiled slightly: "It's true that I'm honest, even a poor Taoist."
"The situation is unclear, why don't we... go in with our own bodies?" Tong Kai suggested.
Master Yunluo nodded: "What Brother Tao said is true, and I have exactly what I mean."
After saying that, both of their spirits shone slightly.
In Tong Kai's soul, the light is vaguely divided into six groups.
One of the rays of light separated from his soul and fell to the side.
Under the flash of light, an old man in Taoist robes exactly like Tong Kai appeared.
This is Tong Kai's outer body, which is the product of Taoist distraction.
The second state of Taoist Yuan Shen is called distraction, and is also called the eleventh state of Taoist practice.
Although the ninth level of demonic cultivation has the ability to separate souls and disintegrate, the demonic soul obtained has a limited duration and cannot be dispersed far away.
The Taoist distraction, manifesting in the outer body, is like an independent individual, and can travel far away from the main body.
Although the level of cultivation of the outer body is one level lower than Tong Kai's original body, only reaching the tenth level of Taoism, no matter how far away from the original body, his strength will not decline.
Tong Kai practices the Qinglong Sect's Taoism, inherits the Qinglong Qisu, and cultivates the state of becoming a god. Theoretically, it can be divided into seven clusters of starlight.
At present, one group has transformed into an outer body, and five clusters of starlight remain within itself. However, the other group has long since transformed into an outer body and remains in the middle-earth.
After Taoists have reached the second level of Yuanshen and have the ability to divide the spirit, it will be difficult to be killed by enemies of the same level.
Of course, in addition to being one level lower than the original body, manifesting the outer body also has other obstacles, so it is not without worries.
Although to a certain extent, one person can be used as many people, and even if the sect has a small number of people, there is no need to worry about being outnumbered, but after all, it is not really possible for one person to be used as many people.
Tong Kai manifested a body and turned to look at Yun Luo.
Just like him, Master Yunluo also manifested an outer body.
However, the body of Master Yunluo, like Tong Kai himself, is at the eleventh level of Taoism.
His actual cultivation strength is higher than Tong Kai's, and his appearance is one level lower than Tong Kai's outer body, but it is still higher than Tong Kai's outer body.
However, his outer body can perform other magic and magical powers, just like he did in the eleventh realm, but he can no longer differentiate.
Master Yunluo took out a long baggage, and then handed the baggage to the outer body that looked exactly like him.
Tong Kai stood aside, looking at the baggage.
The baggage is wrapped in purple silk, tied with gold rope, and has the Taoist talisman written in cinnabar.
"Is this the seal placed by the master of your palace, Peng Zhenren, personally?" Tong Kai asked slowly.
"It's exactly Master Peng's handiwork."
Master Yunluo nodded: "If you go in later, if you are in danger, I will give you this gift as compensation. Brother Dao, don't worry about me and just seek to escape."
"Why do you collect this?" Tong Kai asked after being silent for a while.
Master Yunluo put away his baggage, turned around and headed towards Dongjiang: "Perhaps, it will come in handy just for this moment."
