The Xuanwu General, who usually did not show his emotions on his face, did not change his expression but his eyes kept on flashing.
He looked at the token in his hand and did not speak for a long time.
When the deputy general beside him saw that, he was surprised.
After seeing the appearance of the token and the word 'Mingguang' carved on it, the deputy general was as shocked as Du Kun.
"The token of the Secret Pavilion?" The deputy general panicked, "How did they get involved?"
Du Kun did not speak and calmed down. He kept the token and read the report from his subordinate.
After looking at it, he frowned slightly. "Did you accidentally find this token when you were clearing out those rebels?"
Du Kun held his hands behind his back and stood like a mountain.
After a while, he suddenly ordered, "Open up a hole in the encirclement and let some rebels escape. We will deal with them later."
The deputy general was shocked, "General, there are people from the Secret Pavilion in Longbei Prefecture and they might be here for you.
If you let those traitors go now, wouldn't you be giving them a chance to frame you and let the people of the Secret Pavilion frame you? "
"How could it be this general who let the rebels escape?" Du Kun's expression was calm as he took out the token with the word 'Mingguang' carved on it, "It is obvious that the people from the Secret Pavilion have bad intentions and colluded with the rebels to cause this chaos."
The deputy general understood and quickly calmed down, "But General, with just one token, it is not enough to gain His Majesty's trust. His Highness can't speak for you either."
Du Kun's tone did not fluctuate at all, "Yifan and Gao Qi were harmed by them."
The deputy general was stunned. "General, you mean to drive those rebels to the Dragon Ridge in the north and connect them and the Secret Pavilion to that city?"
Du Kun came back to the map and looked at it, "If not, why do you think I said that the Secret Pavilion has bad intentions and is not loyal to His Majesty?"
The deputy general lowered his head, "I understand."
"His Highness naturally has to be informed." Du Kun prepared a pen and paper to write a letter and passed it to the deputy general.
After the other party left, the bronze skinned general stood in the tent and his gaze landed on the south foot of the Dragon Ridge.
Thinking about his only son, anger appeared in Du Kun's eyes …
In the Dragon's Ridge Forest that he was thinking about, Baiyun Abyss had returned to its former tranquility.
The blockade at the foot of the mountain was getting tighter and tighter. The Hanshan school risked sending people and supplies up the mountain, and their situation was getting more and more difficult.
The news sent back by their fellow disciples in Chang 'an City constantly strengthened the confidence of the people in the Hanshan school. They had already placed a heavy bet, so they might as well go all the way.
In Baiyun Abyss, in a few dozen acres of farmland outside Chang 'an City, there were bumper harvests again and again.
The granaries in the city were gradually filling up. Seeing this, City Lord Zhang felt happy.
His focus began to shift to the Cotton Hemp Mulberry.
Eat and wear, eat and wear. Other than eating, there was also clothing.
From the point of view of processing, "wearing" was more troublesome than "eating".
Fortunately, the Hanshan school had a foundation in Qinzhou, so they were able to gather weavers and send them up the mountain despite the Tang Dynasty army's blockade.
However, the quantity was limited in a short period of time, so everyone had to work overtime.
Zhang Dongyun could finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that all kinds of supplies and fodder in the city were getting more and more abundant.
These days, most of his energy was used to irrigate all kinds of fields for production, so he had neglected his own cultivation.
The countdown of the invincible time was constantly ticking away.
Zhang Dongyun returned to the Daming Palace and continued his Martial Arts cultivation.
The surrendered Tang Dynasty army soldiers in the city and the people in the Hanshan school were basically obedient now.
When the surrendered Tang Dynasty army soldiers who were farming outside the city returned to the city, they told other workers about the changes in the fields, which made everyone feel incredulous.
But when they saw it for themselves, they were all stunned.
Everyone was working hard for Chang 'an City at the moment. They no longer needed Zhang Dongyun, who had turned into an old man in black, to watch over them all the time.
Moreover, even if there was trouble in the city, Zhang Dongyun could detect it immediately with the help of the System. It was better to prevent trouble before it happened.
Until …
[Random Guardian Task 1.3 — Kill or capture Elder Wu Qiong of the Perak Dynasty who entered the city.]
The sun and the moon alternated. Late one night.
In the Daming Palace, City Lord Zhang was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, the System's voice sounded in his mind.
"Elder Wu Qiong of the Perak Dynasty?"
Zhang Dongyun did not open his eyes.
But a picture had already appeared in his mind.
A man in black was quietly crossing the city wall of Chang 'an and entering the city.
The other party did not take action loudly. Instead, he was very careful, hiding his tracks, and sneaking into Chang 'an at night.
The man in black leaned against the city wall and slid down quietly.
As soon as he landed against the wall, before he could stand firm, he suddenly heard a harsh buzzing sound in his ears.
At the same time, more than a dozen round light beams lit up from all directions and converged on him.
The man in black was so shocked that his legs almost gave way and he sat down against the wall.
Zhang Dongyun, who had turned into an old man in black, walked out slowly.
He was quite satisfied with the prison anti-jailbreak mode that he simulated under his bad taste.
It was a pity that he was the only one who knew this joke. It was a little lonely.
Life was really as lonely as snow …
However, the sharp and long siren had the same effect no matter where it was.
The people who were resting in the camp in the city were all awakened.
Everyone walked out in surprise and then looked at the foot of the city wall.
There, the man in black had nowhere to hide. He was terrified and embarrassed.
Gao Qi and the others in the city saw it. They were surprised and awe-inspiring.
The longer they stayed in this city, the more extraordinary they felt it was.
It was impossible to attack openly, but it seemed impossible to sneak in secretly.
From this moment on, the people who had gradually become obedient did not dare to have any ideas.
"Everyone, go back to your rooms." The old man in black coughed.
The people gradually retreated.
The masked man in black who was surrounded by the crowd at the foot of the city wall could not breathe a sigh of relief.
The old man opposite him had a pair of cold eyes, as if he could see directly into the man's heart.
"I …" The man wanted to speak, but a black fog suddenly appeared in front of him.
The next moment, he was engulfed by the black fog. He could not move at all. He could not even bend his little finger.
Only his face was exposed outside the black fog. The black cloth covering his face automatically disappeared, revealing a face.
Zhang Dongyun walked up to the man with his hands behind his back.
Compared to interrogating this man, another thing made him happier.
