I Have An Impenetrable Fortress

Zhang Dongyun regretted that Li Jie didn't come to Chang'an with the rest of Dahe Longmen.

If there is a subordinate of the Ninth Realm, many things he wants to do will become easier.

Before the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty, there were only three ninth-level practitioners, and Li Jie was the fourth.

With his personal protection, even if City Lord Zhang leaves the area of ​​Invincible City and goes for a stroll, he doesn't have to worry.

It's a pity, for now, City Lord Zhang should continue to live in the city.

Regarding Li Jie's matter, there is another person who also deeply regrets it.

That is the current ruler of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Tang Wang Li Xuanxin.

Not to mention letting Li Jie slip away, he also got the news that his son Li Yi and others were also wiped out.

This made Tang Wang feel very difficult.

While ordering the class teacher to return to the court, he ordered the relevant people to focus on collecting information on Chang'an, Qingyun Temple and Baima Academy.

"Even Gao Yu..." The old prince Li Dong who was traveling with King Tang was stunned upon hearing the news.

Tang Wang's tone could not be heard emotionally: "Ninety percent of the time, it was Li Yi who did it."

The old prince Li Dong was silent when he heard the words.

Of course, he had heard the rumors about Gao Yu being the illegitimate son of Tang Wang.

The reason why Li Yi wanted to kill Gao Yu was self-evident.

The old prince didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, so he could only keep silent.

Fortunately, Tang Wang didn't mean to ask his opinion.

On the way back to Luyang City, the capital of the kingdom, news and information from various sources came back one after another.

"Situ's family, Zheng's family, Wangzhen Temple, and Jingyue Tower all ordered people to appease them."

The king of Tang calmly ordered: "Qingyun Guan and Baima Academy, bring gifts to condolences to Master Qingye and Dean Hong."

Apart from the benefits, all the teams that were wiped out under Chang'an City this time were the masters of one side.

They were trapped in Chang'an, and announced that the four major forces of the Situ family, the Zheng family, Wangzhen Temple, and Jingyue Tower had no leader.

At this time, it is the most unstable and dangerous time for the four families.

Strictly speaking, apart from the Situ family, the other three factions had no close relationship with the Eastern Tang royal family in the past.

Right now, it seems that they are taking the opportunity to eliminate the opportunity of subjugation, so that their respective domains are completely under the control of the Eastern Tang royal family.

But with the great threat of Chang'an City, Tang Wang can only be gentle at this moment.

After all, these four families followed him as the leader of Dongtang and attacked Dahe Longmen and Chang'an.

Now that the leaders of the various families have fallen, the Eastern Tang royal family must appease them and help them resist possible foreign enemies.

Only in this way can the Eastern Tang royal family continue to unite with other forces in the territory before dealing with Chang'an City.

Now, if Wangzhenguan, Jingyuelou, and Zheng's family are stabbed in the back again, other famous schools and wealthy families will see it in their eyes, and they will inevitably have no ideas in their hearts.

"The old minister obeys the order."

After leaving Luyang City, the capital of the kingdom, Lu Meng, the prime minister of the Eastern Tang Dynasty who came to pick him up, bowed his head and said, "The old minister will make arrangements."

Qingyun Temple and White Horse Academy gave the same argument.

Hong Xiao, the dean of Baima Academy, was intercepted by a mysterious Confucian master outside the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so he failed to rush to Chang'an.

Taoist Qingye, the master of the Qingyun Temple, also claimed that he was blocked by a mysterious Taoist master on his way, and failed to meet Li Yi and others in Qinzhou Mansion, and even lost his younger brother, Taoist Huangye.

Although both of them said that their opponents were mysterious, and that they couldn't see the details in a short-term confrontation, they both imply that Chang'an City has the support of forces other than Dongtang.

Even, this may be the nail nailed by other dynasties in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

How the truth is, no one knows.

Because all those who went to the vicinity of Chang'an to inquire about the news disappeared without any news.

I don't know how Chang'an City screened out all experienced spies one by one, without missing any.

It is difficult to verify the rhetoric of Qingyun Temple and Baima Academy. Only the news shows that two wars did break out in places other than Longbei County.

On the one hand, two masters of Confucianism are fighting, and on the other hand, are two masters of Taoism.

But because the fight was too fierce and the level of both sides was too high, most people dare not approach,

So it's hard to confirm the details.

The royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty had no choice but to admit it first, and sent people to visit and condolences to Hong Xiao and Master Qingye.

The king of Tang returned all the way back to Luyang City, the capital of the king, and his son Li Hong and others hurried forward to pick him up.

"Where are Hu Yinghua and others?" Tang Wang asked after returning to the palace.

"All are in custody and can be interrogated at any time." The eldest son Li Hong replied at the same time, ordering people to bring all the key members of the captured Hu family.

Hu Yinghua and others were taken into the main hall. Their bodies were covered with instruments of torture, but there were few injuries.

They were not tortured in prison.

When they were captured before, on the one hand, there was an inner ghost in the family, and the enemy responded from inside and outside; on the other hand, Li Hong and others were stronger than Hu Yinghua and the Hu family, so the Hu family were quickly taken down.

Facing King Tang at this moment, Hu Yinghua looked peaceful: "Your Majesty, to this day, Hu has nothing to say, and only wants to die quickly."

"The Chen family went to Chang'an. Although I was furious, at least I understood what they were thinking. I was at a loss for what you did to Hu Qing's family." King Tang looked down at Hu Yinghua.

Hu Yinghua's tone was indifferent: "Your Majesty is just pretending to be confused, my Hu family has behaved with our tails between our legs in recent years, and finally we have not been hit by the king's butcher's knife.

However, the family's development space is limited, not only can't leave Chaohe County, even Chaohe's ancestral business is squeezed by the king's imperial orders.

Hu Mou wanted to seek some treasures of heaven and earth, nourish his qi and blood and attack the eighth realm, but he was also stuck by the king.

If things go on like this, the butcher's knife will fall one day, right?

Hu Mou naturally did not want to live through such a day of fear and anxiety. "

King Tang didn't get angry, but just asked lightly: "Chang'an, let your Hu family continue to grow?"

"At least, more tolerant than the king." Hu Yinghua said.

What he said was true, but he did not mention the most important reason for defecting to Chang'an.

He was shocked by Chang'an's strength.

Between Dongtang and Chang'an, Hu Yinghua bet on Chang'an to win.

But he doesn't mention it now.

The more the king of Tang underestimated Chang'an, the more he couldn't figure out the reality of Chang'an, the better.

Tell him that Chang'an is strong, and he will not spare the Hu family because he is afraid of Chang'an, but will only become angry on the spot.

"If you are stubborn, you will die without guilt. Your heads can just warn the people of the world." The eldest son Li Hong said coldly beside him.

But King Tang waved his hand: "Not busy, I am more tolerant than Hu Qing's family thought."

He said to the big Nei Ma manager beside him: "Go ahead."

Manager Ma took the order to take Hu Yinghua and others to re-arrest.

"Just now, my son and minister trespassed, please forgive me." The eldest son Li Hong bowed.

"No problem."

King Tang shook his head: "After you take them down, take good care of them. Those who should be tried will be tried, but no one will be killed."

"Yes, father." Li Hong pondered deeply.

The King of Tang glanced at him: "The Hu family just fled to Chang'an, and their fate cannot be controlled in Chang'an."

"Father means..." Li Hongruo realized something.

"Try to see if you can change a few people back." Tang Wangyan said: "People may not all be dead."

"Second brother and fourth brother." Li Hong nodded.

Tang Wang shook his head: "Let's see how their injuries are."

"Yes, father." Li Hong understood.

"Prepare for imperial envoys, go to Longbei County, and negotiate peace with Chang'an." Tang Wang said.

Li Hong took the order to retreat.

He knew that Tang Wang, who had always been ruthless in his eyes, did not really want to have peace talks with Chang'an.

It was just a gesture to confuse the enemy.

Li Yi and others suffered a big somersault this time and suffered heavy losses, but it did not completely damage the foundation of the Eastern Tang royal family.

The Zheng family, Jingyue Tower, and Wangzhen Temple are not the basic plans of the royal family.

Places like the Royal Family, Baihong Peak, Songyang Academy, and Qingfu Palace are the only ones.

Of course, there is also the Cheng family.

This time, the loss of the royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, to some extent, can be said to be the unilateral loss of Li Yi, the king of Muping County.

Whether it's him or his mother family, the Situ family.

In addition, as long as Tang Wang himself is still there, the Eastern Tang royal family will not be able to cross.

Eastern Tang's war potential is extremely huge.

However, they cannot fight Chang'an with one mind.

Qingyun Temple and White Horse Academy are still there.

If the two of them can fight to the death with Chang'an first, that is what the royal family would like to see most.

Of course, there are difficulties in this...

The eldest son Li Hong was leaving the palace, and a tall young man happened to be walking towards him on the road.

"Murong, have you returned to Beijing?" Li Hong asked first when he saw the other party.

"See His Royal Highness." The visitor saluted: "The lower official is ordered to return to Beijing to meet the king."

"I heard about Pavilion Master Gao, and I feel deeply sorry for it."

Li Hong comforted the other party: "Father, Wang Han, will not blame you for this. The reason why he called you to Beijing to face the saint is because of Mingguang Pavilion's errand."

"Your Majesty understands, thank you Your Highness." The other party bowed again, said goodbye and left, and went to the palace.

In the palace, Tang Wang screened back to the left and right, watching the tall young man coming in front of him.

"At this moment, it is difficult for me to determine whether you were really born as a baby, or did you kill my son and replace it, just like now?"

The king of Tang stared at the "Murong Pavilion" below.

"Murong Ting" smiled slightly: "You worry too much."

He unbuttoned his shirt.

On the blank skin on the chest, two cracks suddenly appeared, intersecting in the shape of a "ten", from which blood gushed out, but it seemed to be bound by something and did not leave his body.

"Even if I reincarnate, this scar will always follow me. If I hadn't reincarnated, I would have died already." The young man sighed slightly.

Tang Wang asked: "Then how should I treat you now?"

"I just want a place to live, to avoid the discovery of my enemies, and I will be satisfied if I can continue to stay in Mingguang Pavilion."

"Murong Ting" seemed to be showing weakness in his tone.

At the same time as he spoke, the two crossed cracks in the shape of a "ten" on his chest squirmed and healed again.

His skin was restored to smoothness, and the injury just now looked like a hallucination.

"After working together for so many years, I trust you." Tang Wang said calmly.

"Murong Ting" smiled: "I don't dare to cooperate, I should thank the king for his protection, and do a little favor for the king in return."

Tang Wang said: "Mingguang Pavilion, the next step is to hand it over to Murong Ting."

The young man's demeanor changes, like a minister meeting a king: "Mr. Murong Ting complies with the decree, thank the king for his kindness."

"What do you think of Chang'an?" Tang Wang asked.

Murong Ting said: "Although there are some inaccuracies in Qingyun Temple and Baima Academy, I agree with their statement that Chang'an should be created by people other than Tang Dynasty."

Tang Wang's expression remained unchanged: "Beiyan? Western Zhou Dynasty?"

"I can't be sure about this." Murong Ting replied.

Tang Wang looked at him: "It's because I haven't seen the city and dealt with the people inside, right?"

Murong Ting nodded: "Wang Shangming sees Wanli."

King Tang stared at him closely: "With your cultivation strength, you should be able to spy on the details of that city secretly, right?"

Murong Ting smiled wryly: "Your Majesty overestimates this humble minister."

"How dare I underestimate you."

Tang Wang looked serious: "You dare not go, could it be...there are masters above the Nine Realms?"

"This point, I'm not sure." Murong Ting replied: "But if we try to find out the depth, I'm afraid I will expose my identity and attract enemies, so I ask the king to be considerate of my difficulties."

King Tang let out a soft breath: "Knowing ourselves and not knowing each other, this is not acceptable."

Murong Ting said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this.

Although I don't know why Hong Xiao from White Horse Academy shrinks back, but with his temperament, he will go to Chang'an again sooner or later.

At that time, we can take the opportunity to see how much Chang'an weighs. "

Tang Wang asked: "What if Hong Xiao loses?"

"Hong Xiao's defeat doesn't mean you will lose, my lord." Murong Ting said, "With Hong Xiao consuming the opponent, your lord can strike later."

Li Xuanxin, king of the Tang Dynasty, is a real king who will conquer the world immediately.

Before Li Jie of Dahe Longmen showed his true strength this time, the Eastern Tang Dynasty had only three ninth-level practitioners, the king of the Tang Dynasty, the master of Qingyun Guanzhu, and the dean of Baima Academy.

But in fact, just a few years ago, it was more than this number.

At that time, the top forces in the Eastern Tang Dynasty were still "four courtyards, four ways, seven schools and nine schools".

But now, one academy, two sects, and three families including the Chen family have all become history.

Among the ninth-level masters killed by King Tang himself, there were three of them, including the former head of the Ling Xiao faction.

However, facing Murong Ting's praise at this moment, Tang Wang was not happy, and just quietly looked at the young man in front of him.

"When the time comes, I will bring up Master Qingye, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, and I will fight Chang'an with the king." Murong Ting said.

"It's really God's blessing to Tang Dynasty that Aiqing tried his best to help." Tang Wang said slowly.

"The king has won the award, but I dare not be a minister." Murong Ting smiled and bowed his head.
