Chapter 562 Chapter 11 Return to Chang'an

Due to the division of the world and years of wars, overlords and warlords everywhere have a set of methods to deal with the enemy's reconnaissance and infiltration.The trade-promoting business travel cannot be blocked, and the unscrupulous elements cannot be allowed to flow in. How to strike a balance represents the success of the policy system. Due to the superior geographical situation, the Tang room in Guanzhong has the best performance in controlling the flow of people.After taking control of Chang'an, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty strengthened the customs defense, deployed heavy troops and set up government offices at Tongguan and the Yellow River Waterway, the fortresses of the customs.Immigrants and refugees who want to do business in Guanzhong or migrate from other places must be approved by the government for resettlement. There are strict restrictions and regulations on population migration.

Xu Ziling took the approval document forged by Lei Jiuzhi with his skillful hands, and put on the mask that Yang Su had obtained from Yang Gong's treasury for escape, and the passenger ship passed the border safely.After another three days of traveling day and night, they finally arrived at Chang'an City.The beloved horse Wanliban stayed in Taolin and was taken care of by Ren Jun and others.Revisiting the old place, I have some emotions.Especially when he just came back from Little Chang'an outside the Great Wall, facing the real Chang'an in Middle-earth, remembering that Yiren is far away, can you not feel sad!

After entering the city, he went straight to Hou Xibai's amorous lair. According to Lei Jiuzhi, after Hou Xibai visited him, he told him that he would go back to Chang'an to take advantage of Shi Zhixuan's absence to find Yang Xuyan's bad luck. What a miracle.Even if Hou Xibai is not around, he can still use this amorous nest as a place to stay. He easily entered the house from the backyard over the wall, only to hear Hou Xibai's singing: "Mu Mu Qingfeng is here, blow my robes; the robes are so fluttering, just swing them back with the wind." Xu Ziling laughed and said, "Who can be more affectionate than Hou Xibai?"

Hou Xibai dashed out, took his hands and said happily: "Zi Ling's grand arrival, I'm really overjoyed, brother Zhenjiao. In the past few days in Chang'an, people have heard people talking about you and Ba Fenghan's magnificent deeds outside the Great Wall, which makes me I regret that I didn't attach myself to Jiwei and missed the fascinating scenery beyond the Great Wall. Where's the young commander?" Xu Ziling said: "Go in and sit down and talk about it!" After entering the living room and sitting down, Xu Ziling briefly recounted his experiences beyond the Great Wall, explained the purpose of his trip to Chang'an, and then asked, "Didn't you tell Brother Lei that he came here to compete with Yang Xuyan? Seeing you are singing and painting, very freehand."

Hou Xibai smiled wryly and said, "I'm just having fun while suffering. I cooperated with you to deal with Yang Xuyan. Master Shi must regard me as a traitor. Just now you told me that Zhu Yuyan is dead, and Master Shi successfully absorbed the evil spirit of the holy relic to cause great magic. See The time is running out for my younger brother, so I don’t want to draw two more beauties and pass them on to future generations, when will I. My younger brother has become the most popular person in Chang’an after Miracle Doctor Mo. Yesterday Li Yuan saw me in person and hired me as a He painted a picture of the palace's hundred beauties, I think even the stone master would not dare to touch me before the picture scroll is completed, let alone Yang Xuyan."

Xu Ziling asked in surprise: "Why is Li Yuan so confused, knowing that Yang Xuyan is Yang Yong, he is still willing to treat Yang Xuyan kindly?" Hou Xibai said: "Zi Ling doesn't know something. Li Yuan is the person who misses the old love the most. He used to have a close friendship with Yang Yong, so how could he be willing to kill what little flesh and blood he has left? Also, Yang Xuyan vowed to sever ties with Shi Zhixuan, cheated him Li Yuan proclaimed him Duke of the Sui Dynasty. Alas! Although it is inevitable for me and him to fight, we have our own scruples at the moment, so we have to come to the river for the time being so as not to violate the well water."

Xu Ziling said, "I want to see King Qin." Hou Xibai said: "I can make arrangements for this, and it must be done immediately, because Li Yang is currently under heavy siege by Dou Jiande, who is attacking day and night, and the Li family is gathering a large army to go out to help." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Li Yang is defended by Li Shiji and Li Shentong, shouldn't it be so easy to fall?" Hou Xibai said: "It should be so, but the fact is just the opposite. The situation in Liyang is critical. According to what I heard, it was Li Shiji and Li Shentong who misunderstood Dou Jiande's plan to lure the enemy. When Dou Jiande led his army to detour into the neighboring city Weihui , Li Shentong led an army to sneak attack, but he didn't know that the ambushes were attacked, and was killed by Dou Jiande, so Li Shentong escaped with a dozen of his own guards. Dou Jiande took Yu Wei back to attack Li Yang, and the urgent documents were flying back like snowflakes."

He lowered his voice again and said, "It is said that Zhong Shao joined Dou Jiande's camp. This incident shocked the Chang'an government and the public, and my younger brother is honored. You have shown your prowess in the four battles of Helian Fort, Benlangyuan, Hualin and Longquan. , Even the streets and alleys are talking about it, Li Shimin has an opponent this time!" Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Kou Zhong will never submit to Dou Jiande, it must be a misunderstanding." After a pause, he continued: "There is one thing I still need your help with. Brother Xibai, can you try to find out if a swordsman from the Northeast named Yin Xianhe has come to Chang'an."

Hou Xibai asked Yin Xianhe's age, characteristics, and appearance, patted his chest and said, "It's really easy to find out who is with me, but with me, many people in Chang'an will sell face to me Hou Xibai. Ziling is doing well here. Rest, the study has everything from the Book of Changes to the erotic pictures, Ziling will not worry about loneliness." Xu Ziling told him that he couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his head and said, "I still want to find Ji Qian, she might be Yin Xianhe's long-lost biological sister." Hou Xibai was stunned and said: "This matter happened, what capacity do you use to meet her? This Shu's position is ambiguous, and she is more closely related to the princelings. If one is not good, I'm afraid you will expose her identity and cause trouble."

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "I'm sensible! I wonder if Dazhi will come?" Hou Xibai said: "I'm not very clear about this. My way of protecting myself in Chang'an is to only talk about Fengyue and ignore political affairs. It's safer for Ziling to meet King Qin before thinking about other things." Xu Ziling finally accepted Hou Xibai's advice. After Hou Xibai left, he sat cross-legged in a chair to meditate to relieve the fatigue of traveling all day.Entering the realm of sympathy between heaven and man in an instant, the true energy in the body is harmonious, and it is indescribably beneficial and comfortable.

I don't know how much time has passed, suddenly my heart skipped a beat, and when I woke up, a vivid image of a peerless beauty appeared in my mind unexpectedly. He was sure that he was not awakened by any sound or change of air flow, but by a mysterious and unspeakable induction beyond the senses.And it wasn't the first time it happened, there were similar feelings before, but none was clearer than this time. The visitor floated into the hall from behind like a ghost. Xu Ziling sighed secretly, knowing that there was no way to avoid it, when he arrived in Chang'an, he exposed Xingzang, and said softly: "Wuhou Fajia is here, why do you want to find Brother Xibai?" Wanhou's sweet voice said in surprise: "It's you, Ziling! What a surprise, it's the first time you've called someone to be Wanwan so affectionately!" Xu Ziling was slightly taken aback, and sat down on the chair opposite him. Time passed unknowingly, he entered the city in the afternoon, but at this time it was sunset, the hall was in a daze, he sat and rested for more than two hours, and his energy was completely restored. The two looked at each other, neither of them knew what it was like. Although Houhou was still dressed in white and barefoot, Xu Ziling clearly felt that her temperament was completely different from before, but he couldn't say exactly what was different.It just feels that she is more profound and unpredictable than before, elusive and unpredictable. His heart moved and he said, "Congratulations to your Heavenly Demon Kungfu for finally achieving it!" Wan Wanxiu looked at him with interest, and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "I am ordered by my master to stay in Chang'an to practice Dafa. Of course I have some achievements. What about Ziling! You Didn’t he also improve a lot? You don’t need to look back to know that it’s someone else.” No matter what tone of voice she speaks, there is always a feeling of piercing into the heart, which is very attractive. Xu Ziling said in a deep voice: "During the decisive battle with Shi Zhixuan, I witnessed the disappearance of the cloud due to the use of both jade and stone to burn together." Surprisingly, Wan Hou didn't change any expression, and said indifferently: "Did Shi Zhixuan accompany her on the road?" Xu Ziling shook his head and said: "He was injured and fled far away, which made the teacher fall short." He was kind-hearted, and never mentioned that Zhu Yuyan wanted him to be buried with Concubine Shixuan, but he found out in time, and in his eagerness to save Concubine Shixuan, he ordered Shi Zhixuan to have a chance to escape, otherwise history might have to be rewritten. Wan Hou stared at him for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly, and said in a tone so cold and calm that it made one's heart palpitate, "Has he exhausted the holy spirit of Relic?" Xu Ziling nodded and said: "I'm afraid that's the case!" In fact, most of the strange energy in the relic has been shared with him and Kou Zhong earlier, and of course he will not reveal this secret to Houhou. Wan Hou sighed again, her beautiful eyes shot out complex emotions, and she said softly: "The world is full of troubles from now on!" Then he said: "Will Zi Ling cooperate with me to deal with Shi Zhixuan?" Xu Ziling heaved a sigh of relief again, the so-called "cooperation" with her in the past never happened without threats.Since the Battle of Jingling, the two veteran masters of the Pegasus Ranch died tragically at the hands of Houhou. The deep hatred between them has been inseparable, and it has developed to the present moment. Even he is not clear about the relationship with Houhou.He should have a life-and-death duel with Houhou, but facing Houhou who is like a holy angel, he can't kill him. With a bitter smile, he said, "Is there any possibility of cooperation between us? Don't threaten me, I can leave Chang'an at any time." You Youjiao smiled and said: "When did people think of threatening you? But if you refuse to help You'er, You'll have no choice but to marry Shi Zhixuan obediently, and see if he can lead the Holy Gate to become the leader in this struggle for the world." Big winner. They are not forcing you, but they have no choice. And your confidante who is good at playing Xiao may become a victim, because she is the bane left by Bi Xiuxin, and the only choice is to kill her personally, Shi Zhixuan Only then can he win the respect of the various factions of the Holy Gate.” Xu Ziling hit the nail on the head and sighed, "You still say it's not a threat?" It's chilling to think about it. Taking advantage of the chaos in the world, various sects of the Demon Sect are secretly expanding their influence in all aspects. Lin Shihong, Qian Duguan, Fu Gongyou and others are divided into warlords, Wang Shichong is closely related to the Demon Sect, and Zhao Deyan is Jieli The confidant advisers, other Bichen and Anlong control the lifeline of the economy, if all these people submit to Shi Zhixuan's control, no one can predict their power and disaster. The immediate problem is that Houhou can easily detect and sabotage their actions against the Xiang family.Since Houhou knew that he was coming to Chang'an, no matter what his appearance was, he could see him through at a glance. Wan Hou smiled "puchi", rolled his eyes at him and said, "Is he so scary? In the past, many things I was sorry to you, Mr. Xu, were only because of the teacher's order. Now he can be the master of the house, of course it is a different matter." Mr. Xu is satisfied with the new style of personnel and affairs. I will not force you to do anything you don’t want to do. I only hope that you can join hands with Houhou to kill Shi Zhixuan and eliminate harm for the world. Is it something that a chivalrous man never turns back?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "I'm not qualified to be a chivalrous man, I'm just fooling around step by step. Let's talk about whether dealing with Shi Zhixuan can be tolerated. He still needs a period of time to heal his wounds, we still have time." Hou Hou shook his head and said, "Zi Ling is such a short-lived person, if he comes out of the rivers and lakes again, everything will be too late!" Xu Ziling frowned and said, "If he stays outside the Great Wall, how will you find him?" Wan Hou said: "Why go looking for him, I will have a way to lure him out." She smiled sweetly again and said, "Is Ziling willing to cooperate? How about marrying you? I will be your most obedient and obedient wife." Xu Ziling was taken aback, and said in embarrassment, "Sister Gu, don't make jokes." Wan Hou glanced at him resentfully, and said: "If you don't say it, you don't say it. But you are interested in hearing about his plan, so that you can keep that beauty of Youlin Xiaogu." Xu Ziling said helplessly, "I'm listening." Hou Hou said calmly: "According to the teachings of the ancestors of the Holy Gate, the two sects of the Demon Gate and the Six Paths have to hold a meeting every twenty years to elect a leader. The last meeting was held 20 years ago. It's a pity that due to the chaos in the world, although Master Zhu became the head of the Shengmen, he is in name only. Now that the opportunity for unification has emerged, Cihang Jingzhai has gained the upper hand through the Li family. , will fall into the danger of being killed again. Under this situation, it is necessary to hold the "Twenty Years Gathering" of the Holy Gate sects again. Master Zhu has gone, and Wanhou is the only qualified convener at present. Shi Zhixuan must Come to attend, we will have a chance to kill him and break his seal of immortality." Xu Ziling frowned and said, "You know that I don't have the slightest confidence in breaking his seal of immortality." Wan Wan said softly: "Suppose we can put together the two broken seals of immortality, maybe we can find a way to break the seal of immortality." Xu Ziling began to understand why Houhou came to find Hou Xibai, shook his head and said, "Ms. Shi has seen the seal of immortality, but there is still no way to decipher it." Wan Wan's beautiful eyes light up, flashing with wisdom, which is so touching that it makes people's hearts tremble, and it also breaks their hearts!Such a natural beauty is the leader of the new generation of the Yin Gui sect who is born out of blue. It must be unprecedented in the Demon Sect to be able to practice the Heavenly Demon Dafa at this age, and she is the only person in the Demon Sect who knows their vitality , which makes her Heavenly Demon Art even more unpredictable. She opened her mouth slightly and said softly: "It's Shi Feixuan again, how can I be the same as her, what she understands is the orthodox Taoism, Shi Zhixuan has obtained the Immortal Seal of Taoism and the Holy Gate, no matter how smart she is Wisdom, at most, understands part of it. But if the Nu family and Ziling are combined to study it in detail, it will be another matter." Xu Ziling Xiao: "Even if Mr. Hou has no problem, but Yang Xuyan is Shi Zhixuan's heir, he will never be so stupid as to deal with Shi Zhixuan, then if he has trouble with himself." In fact, Hou Xibai had stolen half of Yang Xuyan's seal of immortality, and destroyed it after memorizing it, but he thought that it should not be known to Houhou for the time being, because God knows that if Houhou learns the secret of the seal of immortality, it will bring trouble What are the consequences. Wan Wan smiled sweetly: "If you can't borrow it, you can rob it, and you can even kill him easily. In this respect, the wishes of Mr. Xu Ziling and others should be the same, right?" Xu Ziling delayed the time and said, "This needs to be discussed with Brother Xibai." Wan Wan smiled coquettishly and said, "They didn't force you to agree immediately. Our 20-year party will be held in Chengdu on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival three months later. What do you think, Mr. Xu?" Xu Ziling said in displeasure, "Why don't you choose anything, but choose Chengdu?" Hou Hou casually said: "It's convenient! Mr. Xu can take the opportunity to visit the beautiful lady Shi, and also let Shi Zhixuan have a chance to kill Shi Zhixuan. Then Mr. Xu will not pretend to be a promise, and secretly But he decided to break the appointment. Alas! I have no other choice, so I have to use tricks on you, so I can forgive you!" Xu Ziling said angrily, "When will you change your habit of harming others?" Houhou showed resentment again, and sighed half-truthfully, "I really won't hurt you again, whether Ziling believes it or not, how many days will you stay in Chang'an?" Xu Ziling really wanted to ask her if Xiao Xian was from the Demon Sect, but he was afraid that he would startle the snake, so he could not ask, and said: "As long as you find Hou Xibai, you can find me." Hou Hou's expression changed suddenly, "Someone is here! See you tomorrow." He floated away from the chair, touched the ground lightly with his bare feet, and disappeared through the window like a ghost, leaving Xu Ziling standing alone in the already dark hall. Xu Ziling and Wanhou felt someone entering the house from the backyard at the same time, and from this point of view, Wanhou's spiritual sharpness was by no means inferior to his. Li Shimin's voice sounded from behind Xu Ziling, and said in a deep voice, "I was looking for you." Xu Ziling's heart moved, he knew that something happened that made Li Shimin want his husband to go. What is the serious matter? Li Shimin sat down opposite him, taking the place of Houhou, his face darkened, his brows drawn tightly, and he said solemnly: "Liyang will fall in a few days, and Wang Shichong will arrive at Cijian, making us unable to move and unable to help, Zi Does the mausoleum know who is still in Liyang City?" Xu Ziling looked at him in astonishment.
