Zhao Guo, An'an County, Fengqi Hall, the ancestral home of the Cui family.
A majestic old man walked out of Fengqi Hall accompanied by the old lady of the Cui family. Behind them were a dozen young men and women, chatting quietly with each other.
The old man said goodbye and left with a group of young people. The old lady did not turn around until they boarded the carriage. A middle-aged scribe came in a hurry and handed over a letter.
The old lady went to the side hall and sat down. She opened the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, she said: "Go to Tianji Hall."
The Cui Family Tianji Hall is not high but large, consisting of a main hall and nine sub-halls. In the center of the main hall is a huge sand table map, which shows the entire human domain and the surrounding terrain. The main sand table is surrounded by a circle of small sand tables.
They are said to be small, but each one is several feet in diameter.
The old lady walked directly to the corner of the hall, where there was a newly made sand table map, which was impressively covering the entire Western Region. However, there were still many blank spaces on the map, and the details were not very complete.
Two middle-aged men also rushed over and stayed with the old lady. They are both outstanding figures in the Cui family's Dharma and are expected to be in the imperial court. They are now the mainstay of the family.
The old lady stood in front of the sand table, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "That boy Yu'er came back with a letter and wanted some help."
A middle-aged man said: "When Qing Ming sent a letter asking for help last time, didn't the elders already send a batch of supplies? Why did Young Master Yu write again?"
Cui Yu was the fourth in his generation, so after he was promoted to Dharma Prime Minister, some people called him Fourth Young Master, while others called him Young Master Yu. At this time, Young Master was an honorific title, and the main reason was that Cui Yu was too young.
Another person said: "Although Qingming is good, he is someone else's inheritance after all. Mr. Yu is young and promising, so it is appropriate for him to come to serve in the clan as soon as possible. Why bother to make wedding clothes for others?"
The old lady said slowly: "What you said is not unreasonable, but you don't know something. Wei Yuan wrote to Tangshi asking for help, and now Tangshi sent General Anyuan Wei Boyang to come for help, which caused a commotion in the capital the day before yesterday. Li Shenji
I lost all face and finally suppressed this matter. Now that Qing Ming's safety has attracted the attention of the world, and we are so close, we only gave out a few supplies. Do you want the world to laugh at our Ji Zhao Cui family?"
The old lady's tone was already a bit harsh, so it was difficult for the two of them to say anything more.
The old lady added: "Furthermore, Wei Yuan has trained more than five hundred Taoist foundations for my Cui family. Even if they can't make any further progress, it has greatly increased the foundation and strength of my Cui family."
"But we also paid fairy silver..."
"Short-sighted!" the old lady said with a stern voice: "Can five hundred Daojis be bought with immortal silver? If you have the ability, go and get fifty Daojis for me and take a look!"
The two of them didn't dare to talk anymore. If the old lady got a bad impression, it would be difficult for her to get promoted in the future.
The old lady said in a deep voice: "This matter is attracting the attention of the world, and we do owe Wei Yuan a favor. In this way, we will send two elders from Yujing to Qingming to take charge, and it will be the elders of your two houses who will go. After such a long time,
It’s time to play with the ghost wizards for a while and see what other powerful characters they come up with.”
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and left in a hurry.
…
Qing Ming and Wei Yuan were discussing with Yu Zhizhuo on the new fortification structure. Suddenly someone came to report: General Wei Boyang of Tang Anyuan has arrived!
Wei Yuan was surprised. He wrote to Tang Shi to ask for help. It was just a casual game. How could reinforcements really come? General Anyuan, the title sounds extraordinary. According to Tang Li, he was a second-rank official, and Wei Yuan
The gold content of the second rank of this kind of vassal title is completely different.
Tangshi is the co-owner of the world, and he has sent General Anyuan thousands of miles to come to help. Wei Yuan could not neglect it, and immediately notified the Taichu Palace cultivators and Li Zhi to lead his troops to meet him.
At this time, the huge flying boat was hovering outside Qingming, with the sound of drums and music on the boat, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo. The flying boat was completely black and decorated with gold patterns, and the bottom of the boat was the blue sea of ​​waves.
This flying boat is much more luxurious than all the flying boats in Taichu Palace.
Wei Yuan and more than a dozen monks flew to the boat and landed on the front deck. They saw two rows of warriors with bright armor standing on the wide deck. They were all holding golden axes. They were tall and strong. They were all Taoist monks!
Judging from their clothes, they are the Imperial Guards of Datang, which is famous all over the world.
There were five hundred Daoji Imperial Guards standing on the deck alone, and their power was extraordinary.
At the end of the two rows of forbidden troops, on the high platform of the deck, sat a mighty man in the middle. He was looking down at Wei Yuan. He was faintly visible in the mountains around him. He was clearly a royal king, and he was close to achieving great success in understanding the world.
Seeing Wei Yuan, the general's pupils also shrank, and he actually felt a slight sense of oppression! This was a unique thing, which meant that there was probably something in Wei Yuan that could threaten him.
Wei Boyang put away his contempt and said in a deep voice: "Is the person coming here Wei Yuan?"
"Exactly!"
Wei Boyang immediately stood up and said in a long voice: "Wei Yuan accepts the order!"
And there is an imperial edict? This is the real edict of the emperor, which is completely different from that of the kings of the Nine Kingdoms. So Wei Yuan led everyone to accept the edict.
Wei Boyang said loudly: "... Qingzhou is now established and Qingyang Mansion is established. I think Wei Yuan cares about the people of Li and has made great achievements in opening up territory and expanding the territory. I enfeoff Qingyang to guard it. I admire it!"
Wei Yuan thanked him and then accepted the imperial edict. It must be said that Emperor Tang's imperial edict was of good quality and was actually a magic weapon. Wei Yuan became an official of the Tang Chamber of Commerce in a daze. However, the Tang Chamber of Commerce declined and the official title was not given.
It's very casual, just throw the official hat of state shepherd at him.
There are many mysteries in this imperial decree. The main purpose is to use Hanyang Pass as the boundary to divide Qingyang Prefecture. Beyond Hanyang Pass, Qingzhou is separated. Now the four counties in Ningxi are divided into Qingyang Prefecture, and Weiyuan is
guard.
According to the official system of Datang, the prefecture is a level between the state and the county. Sometimes it is established and sometimes not set up, and it is determined by the nine countries. The official title of the head of a mansion is the governor, and Wu is the admiral. For the prefecture located in the border area,
Sometimes, there will be a town and governor envoy. The town and governor envoys have military and political power. For example, Cui Shutong, the governor of Yuyang Prefecture in Zhao State, is an example.
The Zhenfu envoy can be regarded as a junior military envoy, and Wei Yuan has already been granted the title of Dingxi Jiedu envoy in the Western Jin Dynasty. If Emperor Tang wants to be granted the title, he must have a lower official rank than the one given by the Western Jin Dynasty, so as to show the status of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, the same land was a second-rank Jiedu envoy, but in Datang, it could only be a third-rank town governor.
But looking at it from another perspective, the officials granted by the Western Jin Dynasty were real, and the Qingyang governor appointed by Emperor Tang was more of a false name.
After announcing the imperial edict, Wei Boyang helped Wei Yuan up, looked him up and down, and said: "I have long heard that a unique genius came out of the Taichu Palace, who dared to cultivate an invincible power, and said that all the laws in the world are rubbish..."
Wei Yuan could only smile awkwardly and didn't know what to say. He clearly said that the Xu family's dharma ministers were rubbish, so why did everyone say that all dharma ministers in the world were rubbish?
Wei Boyang laughed and said: "Anyway, a Dharma form of less than twenty is rare in the world. Let me ask you, is your Dharma form an immortal one?"
Wei Yuan said vaguely: "Probably... sort of..."
Wei Boyang only thought that Wei Yuan was being humble and said: "Isn't it true that he is not an immortal? Okay, let's get down to business. This time, my general came to help on the order of the regent King Jin. I wonder what the current situation is like? Is there a ghost witch on the opposite side?
?”
"There is a witch."
Wei Boyang's eyes flashed, and he said: "Very good! I haven't had a fight with the ghost wizard for decades. Does the ghost wizard opposite have a name? Maybe he is an acquaintance of the general, just to see if their realm has declined over the years.
.”
Wei Yuan immediately said: "Currently we only know one named Hongye, and he was knocked down from the realm of ghost witches. The names of the other ghost witches are not yet known."
Wei Boyang's expression condensed and he asked: "How many ghost witches are there?"
Wei Yuan carefully recalled the auras he sensed and said: "Judging from the auras, there are at least six of them, and there is also a holy witch."
Wei Boyang's smile froze on his face.
He reluctantly moved the corner of his mouth and asked: "If the Holy Witch can be mobilized, this offensive must be a big deal. How many troops did the Witch Clan mobilize in total?"
"It has been initially determined that the number is 1.8 million, and there are tens of millions of coolies in the rear."
Wei Boyang could no longer raise the corners of his mouth, and frowned: "In such a situation, didn't the Western Jin Dynasty send troops? What did the Xu family do?"
Wei Yuan said: "The Liao tribe in the north is attacking very urgently and has lost more than a thousand miles of territory in the north, so I guess the King of Jin will not be able to come to the rescue. As for the Xu family, we have always had a grudge against me. We had two wars last year, so it is impossible to come to the rescue.
"
Wei Boyang said: "Private grudges are private grudges, what do they matter before the invasion of aliens?! Such... hmph!"
Although he is General Anyuan of Tangshi, it seems that he cannot call Xu Wangu by his first name.
Wei Boyang walked back and forth a few times and said: "This general did not expect that the situation was so critical. Although I brought three thousand forbidden troops this time, these forbidden troops are the Emperor's guard of honor and cannot be easily lost, so even if they are used, they will not be used."
It can only be used in important areas in the rear to maintain order."
Although he didn't explain it, Wei Yuan knew that those who could become the emperor's imperial guards were all from noble families. People who joined the army were just people with mixed qualifications to show off their honors, and were not really here to fight. It would be a big trouble for a few of these imperial guards to die.
Therefore, Wei Yuan did not intend to let them take on important tasks, so he could just find a safe place to station themselves to support the scene.
Wei Boyang looked up at the sky and said: "This Broken Realm is indeed well-deserved and very troublesome. However, I came here on orders and have the luck of the emperor, so I can naturally hide it from the monsters outside the sky. As long as I don't attack with all my strength, they will not notice me.
existence.
Taking advantage of this, I will hide in your Qingming and see if any blind witch will send it to me..."
Halfway through the words, the surprised voice of True Lord Xuanyue suddenly sounded in the sky: "Wei Boyang?! Why are you here? I thought you died eight hundred years ago."
Wei Boyang also changed his color. He looked up at the sky and saw True Lord Xuanyue standing in the sky.
He looked at True Lord Xuanyue, then at Wei Yuan, and then at True Lord Xuanyue, and sighed: "What a good child, why did he become a disciple of an old thief like you? It is simply a waste of natural resources, and the pearl is hidden.
