"Lingxiao school?"
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was projected by Zhang Dongyun, looked at the one-eyed young man in front of him.
"He claims to be an elder of Lingxiao school," Hui Tianyu replied, "I've already asked the elders of the Chen family to entertain him."
Among the three schools, four paths, and five sects in Eastern Tang, Lingxiao school was one of the "five sects", just like Dahe Longmen.
Lingxiao school once had the reputation of being the leader of the five sects.
Its previous headmaster was a master of the ninth realm of martial arts, the Sovereign King Realm.
However, a few years ago, the previous headmaster of Lingxiao school was attacked by the Eastern Tang royalty. Many masters of Lingxiao school also died, which caused the Lingxiao school to suffer a blow and was no longer as strong as it used to be.
However, its foundation was deep, and there were still many senior masters in the sect.
Among the major forces in Eastern Tang, they were the ones who resisted the Eastern Tang royalty the most fiercely.
Previously, Lingxiao school was attacked by the Eastern Tang royalty. Later, the Eastern Tang went to war with the neighboring countries, and Lingxiao school got some breathing room. It was said that its power was rising again in recent days.
The reason why the other party came to Chang 'an to seek an alliance was most likely because a large number of Tang Army troops were wiped out here.
In the eyes of Lingxiao school, Chang 'an was also a comrade in the fight against the Eastern Tang.
The Chen family was in the same boat as them. Some elders of the family had even dealt with people from Lingxiao school in the past.
Hui Tianyu didn't know anyone from Lingxiao school and wasn't sure if the other party's identity was real or fake, so he reported to Mr. Dark Cloud and asked the elders of the Chen family to confirm the other party's identity.
"This is a gift from the other party to congratulate the construction of Chang 'an."
Hui Tianyu said and presented a brocade box.
Zhang Dongyun had the support of the system, so he didn't need to open the box to know that there was a three-foot-long blood-red ginseng inside.
Blood Ginseng was a rare and precious elixir produced in the northern part of the Eastern Tang. It was rare and hard to find. It was the main ingredient that could be used to refine many elixirs.
If a martial artist consumed it raw, it would nourish their Qi and blood. It was also a great supplement.
Generally speaking, if it was the size of a palm, it would be priceless.
Such a large Danling Blood Ginseng could not be found on the market for more than ten years.
The Lingxiao school was located in the northeast region of the Eastern Tang region, where the Lingxiao blood ginseng was produced.
However, a plant as big as the one in front of Zhang Dongyun was also rare in the Lingxiao school.
The other party had indeed expressed his sincerity right from the start.
"Bring him up the mountain," Zhang Dongyun ordered through the projection of Mr. Dark Cloud.
"Yes, Senior." Hui Tianyu immediately accepted the order and left.
Zhang Dongyun casually put the gift box aside.
He didn't care if the other party had any scams or traps. In fact, he would be more than happy to see them.
However, if they really came with good intentions, Zhang Dongyun was interested in chatting with them this time.
If everyone came to attack him, it would be convenient for him to fulfill the protection mission, but it might not be beneficial for the construction mission.
The right way to do it was to use both hands.
Fuzhen Guan was right under his nose, and the Lingxiao school was far away in the northeast snowfield. It was very far away from Longling.
If the other party was reliable, he would be a good partner.
The east and west were slightly far apart, and the Dahe Longmen happened to be in the middle. In the northern part of the Eastern Tang region, they formed a line.
However, before that, he had to figure out a problem …
"Separated by thousands of miles and mountains, and the Eastern Tang region has blocked the news. How did you find out where Chang 'an is?"
Mr. Dark Cloud asked calmly as he looked at the Lingxiao school's disciple in front of him.
Over the past few days, through the information collected from the outside world and the memories of Evil Emperor Ming Tonghui, Master Zhang gradually gained a general understanding of the world he lived in.
First of all, this land was much larger than he had initially guessed.
The Eastern Tang dynasty he was in now was much larger than his motherland on the Blue Planet in his previous life.
The Dragon River that flowed through Qinzhou, Tongzhou, and all the way to the east and across the Eastern Tang was also much longer than he had expected.
Ships on the river did not rely solely on the flow of water. There were also some unique techniques in this world that could satisfy the need for time and speed.
Before this, the Tang Army was destroyed, Fuzhen Guan and the others were captured. Later, people from Mirror Moon Tower and Qingbokgung were also captured and sent to Chang 'an. At first, Zhang Dongyun thought that the people in the other party's hometown reacted too slowly and that it would take many days for them to make a move.
However, later, when he finally had an idea of how big the Eastern Tang was, he understood that it was not that the other party was slow, but that transportation and communication were indeed difficult.
If it were not for the fact that this fantasy world had some fantasy methods, the Eastern Tang royalty would not have been able to maintain their rule over such a vast land.
Even so, it was still unusual for the Lingxiao school, which was more than thousands of miles away, to know about Chang 'an.
Apart from the Eastern Tang royalty, the information exchange of other forces in this land showed obvious regional sensitivity.
To put it simply, it was a local characteristic. In the place where they were active, they were sensitive to information. Outside a certain range, the information exchange was greatly reduced.
Other than the Eastern Tang royalty, the Li family, who ruled the country, there were very few people who could be well-informed in the country.
If not for this, Zhang Dongyun would not have praised Shen Herong's encyclopedic knowledge.
In recent years, the Lingxiao school had been targeted by the Eastern Tang royalty. Their information channel should have been shrinking.
Moreover, the Eastern Tang was also trying to block the information about Chang 'an inside and outside Longbei County.
The Lingxiao school should have heard about Chang 'an, but it should be rough. Most of it was just rumors, and it was difficult to know the details of the truth.
Therefore, Zhang Dongyun was very interested in this issue.
The other party did not just intend to give it a try.
They came prepared with generous gifts and were serious about this matter. This showed that the other party not only trusted Chang 'an's position as the enemy of the Eastern Tang, but also understood the strength of Chang' an. They should not be underestimated.
Standing in front of Mr. Dark Cloud was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in white, and his face was weathered. He looked smart and capable.
Hearing Mr. Dark Cloud's question, the middle-aged man's expression did not change. He answered with a salute.
"To tell you the truth, one of my colleagues intercepted the secret letters from the Eastern Tang. Only then did we know that there is a magical city in the Northwest Longling that has troubled the Eastern Tang."
The middle-aged man said emotionally, "Afterwards, this humble one and my fellow sect members made many inquiries, and only then did we have some understanding of this place. Neither side can tolerate the tyranny of the Eastern Tang, so Senior Brother Sect Master has specially ordered this humble one to come here in hopes of forming an alliance with your side, so that we can fight against the Eastern Tang together."
"Truth …" Zhang Dongyun nodded secretly.
It was not the Lingxiao school and the Eastern Tang royalty who secretly made peace with each other and then sowed discord.
He was also not someone secretly recruited by the Dahe Longmen. This would not affect Zhang Dongyun's plan.
However, the expression on Mr. Dark Cloud's face did not change at all.
"It's just the Eastern Tang. It's not worth mentioning."
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised when he heard this.
The old man in black in front of him did not seem to be raising his status to gain an advantage in the negotiation.
It was more like … he really did not take the Eastern Tang dynasty seriously.
Was he really confident, or was he just blindly arrogant?
Speaking of which, the sudden appearance of Chang 'an was extremely mysterious …
The middle-aged man thought and said, "I admire your great power. However, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against a stab in the dark. You must be careful of the enemy's tricks."
His expression became more serious. "On the way to the northwest, I happened to meet an old acquaintance of the Cheng family. He actually went the same way as me.
However, he did not come directly to Longling. Instead, he went to Fuzhen Guan first. It seemed that he wanted to mediate the dispute between Fuzhen Guan, Mirror Moon Tower, and Qingbokgung, and then deal with Chang 'an together. "
