Zhang Yu looked at the map for a while, and then turned back to the inner hall, flipping through the various documents sent from the continent in the past few days.
Yun Chen is still practicing Taoism in seclusion, and Mingshan is temporarily responsible for handling the daily affairs in Xuan Mansion. Only some matters that are difficult to decide will be sent to him; and some are official documents involving supervision matters.
After dealing with it for about a morning, he reviewed almost all the documents, and ordered someone to call the Xuanhe realm Xuanxiu to explain a few words, asking them not to relax, and asking them to strengthen their surroundings.
After this successful raid on Shuangzhou, he now has a high prestige. No one raised any objections and everyone followed his instructions to make arrangements.
Zhang Yu saw that after everyone left, Si Wuzhang stayed alone, so he asked: "Do you have anything else to do, fellow Daoist Si?"
Si Wuzhang cupped his hands and said: "There is something I need to tell Xuanzheng. A few days ago, I returned from abroad with the monks sent by the Changdao sect to communicate with other continents. There was another person who came back with them who claimed to be
Comrades from other countries.
Because the raid on Shuangzhou was about to take place at that time, I did not disturb Xuanzheng for this matter. I just placed him in the original residence of the Chengchang Taoist sect and let the two disciples who returned with him stay together. But this time
After I came back, I found that he had disappeared, and when I asked the two people, I didn't know where he was. I wonder if I should send someone to search for him?"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "Then don't worry about it. If he goes to the inside of the continent, he will eventually appear. If he is outside the continent, then let him do whatever he wants."
Now is the time of war. Monks cannot freely travel through the Qingyang Continent. Their identities must be checked everywhere. Moreover, if they are flying in the air in the continent, they will definitely be discovered by the roving creatures. If they are just outside the territory,
Since they can't take care of it, they don't have time to take care of it.
In the central city of Duzhou under the jurisdiction of Shuangzhou, there was a semi-arc metal cover connected to the ground boat rooftop. Then a gray-white shuttle-shaped boat quickly flew out and quickly flew into the airspace.
.
Wu Zhonghou opened his hands to hold the armrests and sat in the main cabin with his back straight.
After getting the source of thought, he felt that his whole body was full of energy. Not only that, but his thoughts were extremely clear and agile. He felt that he could kill his former self by just reaching out his hand.
The entourage on the side of the main cabin left the jade-embedded seat at this time, walked over, clasped his fists and said: "Zhong Hou, according to our internal reports, Zhang Xuanzheng is still stationed at the original Fangtai Taoist sect's residence.
Within a few days, I probably won’t leave.”
Wu Zhonghou said: "I understand."
His eyes were deep. According to the opinion in Shuangzhou, this person was too great a threat. If he continued to stay outside the territory, Shuangzhou would never be able to take another step forward, and the plan agreed with the gods and monsters would be difficult to implement.
So this one must find a way to solve it, and as soon as possible!
Now Zhang Yu is still staying outside the continent, which is good news. After all, if he returns to Qingyang Shangzhou, he will have to wait outside.
After the shuttle-shaped flying boat had been traveling for four days, the entourage said: "In the middle of the day, we are still half a day away from the Fangtai station. There may be monks cruising in front of us. We must slow down."
Wuzhong Hou asked: "Is there still our station near here?"
The entourage said: "No more. The previous station was all destroyed by those monks, and no one has been mobilized since then. Now we can't get any help in the wasteland."
Wu Zhonghou said: "Then let's go to the place we agreed on before and exchange things before we talk."
The attendant should immediately claim yes.
The flying boat flew for another summer, then stretched out its legs and landed in front of a strange-shaped weathered sandstone. The hatch opened and Wu Zhonghou and his entourage came out. The entourage took out a crystal jade and placed it on the
Above the ground, and then saw the lights flashing above.
About two summer hours later, a Kuntu flying boat flew from the south and stopped in front of them. A creator with a metal bar carved on his chin walked out. He had an ordinary face and no distinguishing features.
There is a writing bag under his arm.
When he saw Wuzhonghou, he walked over on the fine gravel on the wasteland and said, "I was ordered to deliver the items to Shuangzhou."
Wu Zhonghou signaled, and the attendant next to him stepped forward to take it, then turned it over, raised his head and said, "That's all?"
The creator said: "The Xuan Palace seems to have discovered something recently, which has caused the two palaces to strictly inspect the communication with other countries. It is not easy to send these things."
Wuzhong Hou asked: "Is it Xuanfu again?"
The creator said: "Yes, now that Xuanfu has merged into one, it is different from the past, and the continent has to pay attention to Xuanfu's opinions."
Wu Zhonghou looked at him and said, "You don't look like a creator."
The creator said seriously: "I am a human being."
Wu Zhonghou snorted and said, "Then do you know how you got here?"
In fact, he was not a talkative person before. He was in a high position and had no need to compete with a creator of unequal status. However, after absorbing Yuan Nian, he could not help but want to say a few more words.
The creator didn't respond, and there was no expression on his face, but his appearance clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.
At this time, Wu Zhonghou took a jade box from his attendant and threw it to the opposite side.
Although some people in Qingyang Continent were delivering documents to them, it was not without conditions. They also wanted to exchange things, but he didn't know what was inside.
After the creator took it, he checked the seal on the box as usual. Seeing that there were no signs of disassembly, he put it away, then handed it over and looked about to say goodbye and leave.
"Wait a moment!"
But Wu Zhonghou stopped him and said, "I want you to do one more thing."
The creator said: "This is not included in the prior instructions."
Wu Zhonghou signaled and asked the attendant beside him to hand over a letter. He said: "I only need you to bring the letter, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
The Creator didn't pick it up at first, until the follower pushed it forward with force, and then reluctantly took it over. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he returned to the flying boat. Soon the flying boat took off and flew back along the way.
The follower said: "Zhonghou, will the other side do the same?"
Wuzhong Hou said: "Just give it a try, it will only take about seven or eight days." He said with care: "You send the documents back first, and you will come back to pick me up after half a month."
Followed by: "I obey the order."
Wuzhong Hou looked in the direction of Fangtai's station and said: "If he doesn't come out within half a month, then I will have to take the initiative to fight in."
In fact, he had thought about luring Zhang Yu out by killing the roving monks, but there was a problem, that is, this one might not be able to fight him one-on-one. There were so many monks in the station.
He didn't think he could win if they were swarmed. He might end up like the "Jiayi" he sent before.
After watching the flying boat that sent him here leave, Wu Zhonghou's body glowed with a burst of crystal light, and suddenly flew into the air, heading towards Qingyang Shangzhou.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. In the early morning of this morning, a flying boat arrived at Fangtai Station. A messenger came out who claimed to be from the two mansions and delivered a letter to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu asked the messenger a few questions and then let him leave.
He opened the letter and found that it was sent from the Sigong Yamen Office under the jurisdiction of Zizhou Prefecture. It said that the two prefectures had received his letter, but there were still some questions about Shuangzhou that needed to be checked and inquired in person. Please ask him when it is convenient.
A trip back to the mainland.
At the end of the letter, there is a seal, name, and signatures from various government agencies. It can be said that there is no shortage of everything. It looks like a very normal letter.
But he knew there was something wrong with this letter.
If the upper levels of the two governments write to the chief officials of subordinate states and counties, for example, if the target is a state governor like Ding Yanli, then it is correct that the letter should use such wording and regulations.
But the problem is that Xuanfu is superior to the two houses in terms of etiquette, so if the two houses send letters to him, they must either submit them in the form of a formal "Xuanfeng Jade Box", or simply send them in a private form.
I would like to send him a letter as if I were a subordinate, and it would never be an official letter like treating a subordinate.
The upper-level officials in the government agencies in the two governments would never make such omissions. Only those young officials who often participate in opportunities, but lack sufficient understanding of the situation at the top and do not have deep resumes would make this mistake.
But this letter clearly stated that the upper echelons of the two houses had invited him to come over to have a talk, which made it difficult for him not to doubt it.
Everything must happen for a reason. When the other party writes the letter, it is undoubtedly because he wants him to return to the continent. But is it just to let him go back once after spending so much effort?
As soon as he thought about it, he came up with several guesses.
He said with concern: "Invite fellow Taoist Wan Ming and fellow Taoist Cao."
After a while, Taoist Wan Ming and Cao Fangding came to the inner hall. He took care of them in detail, and then returned to the inner room to meditate and adjust his breath.
In the early morning of the next day, he boarded the flying boat and left Fangtai Station early in the morning, heading back to the continent.
The journey went smoothly at first, but just when he entered the ruins, a crystal light suddenly shot towards the flying boat.
The airship was struck by this bombardment and was shaken immediately. It fell to the ground and fell into the thick red gravel.
Zhang Yu stepped out of the flying boat. He glanced at the broken body of the boat and shook his head unconsciously. The flying boat had only been with him for more than two months, but it was destroyed again.
However, this was unavoidable. He also expected that someone might attack him on the way back. In the past few months, he had traveled directly to and from the mainland and abroad by flying boat. If he suddenly didn't use it, it would appear to be a problem.
He raised his head and looked forward, and saw a strong and tall Shuangzhou man walking towards him. He was wearing a blouse to protect him from the wind and sand. When he was halfway there, he pulled it off and exposed the inside.
The slim-fitting light blue inner armor shone with a cold metallic light under the sunlight.
Wu Zhonghou strode towards Zhang Yu. At this time, his eyebrows flashed, and pale armor emerged from his limbs and torso, covering his whole body, and instantly transformed into a two-foot tall man.
Giants.
When he was halfway there, his pace began to speed up, and then he suddenly rushed forward. However, only a few steps later, his figure disappeared extremely abruptly.
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and he stretched out his hand. The jade light on his body rose like a flame, and a flickering blue light appeared on his left side. Then a huge fist appeared there and hit him hard!
