Chapter 176: The Battle Between Swords and Guns III
Ling Tian Yunku was sitting and chatting with Yuan Xiaoliu, but his eyes were looking at the main door of the main house from time to time. More than half an hour had passed, and the door seemed to have closed two worlds, and there was no one there.
Any movement. Some people around the tables began to leave, and the only ones really left were the servants of the Feng family and some martial arts masters of the Feng family.
"Brother, your sword looks very special. It seems that your skills are also good." Yuan Xiaoliu glanced briefly and saw the faint light of the big sword thrown to the ground by Ling Tianyun.
It exudes a solemn aura. There are still some mottled blood stains on it, making those who look at it feel inexplicably frightened.
"Haha, this knife belongs to my next friend. It was not convenient for my friend to carry it with me, so I brought it to Feng Mansion." Ling Tianyun chuckled absentmindedly and answered perfunctorily.
"Brother, how did you bring such a big sword into the city? According to regulations, the garrison in this generation of state cities should never let you bring it into the city. You are lucky if you don't hand it over.
." Yuan Xiaoliu immediately raised his own doubts. He did not believe that this was just an ordinary knife.
"Brother Yuan is serious. The officers and soldiers guarding the city just give them a few pieces of silver. Why don't they prevent people from bringing swords into the city?" Ling Tianyun's heart tightened, and he quickly made up a reasonable excuse. Originally, Ling Tianyun's heart tightened.
When he entered the city, he was indeed stopped by the city's defenders, but his guide document was not lost. As long as he handed over his guide document, the other party would not embarrass him. It's just that he didn't feel that the Zhong family's
The spy will reach into the military camp here, so he is not that worried about exposing his identity in front of the officers and soldiers.
"Yes, these officers and soldiers are no different from bandits now, but fortunately they are still fulfilling their official duties and will not do anything too outrageous. Nowadays, in troubled times, wars are raging everywhere, and many refugees are wandering around. Alas
."
Yuan Xiaoliu let out a burst of emotion, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. It was a true expression of his feelings, not a pretentious look. His words made Ling Tianyun feel more favorable to him, and it seemed that the other party was not.
He is just an ordinary martial artist, only over 20 years old. I don't know where he got so many emotions.
"Haha, national affairs are not something that I, a commoner, can discuss. Come and have a drink." Ling Tianyun smiled faintly. He did not want to discuss national affairs and people's livelihood here, but just explained it in one sentence. After speaking, he picked up the
I toasted Yuan Xiaoliu with a bowl of wine, and then drank it all myself.
At this time, they had already replaced the wine glasses with large porcelain bowls. They only felt comfortable drinking from large bowls.
With just a fleeting glance, he caught a glimmer of light in the other person's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Fortunately, Yuan Xiaoliu also laughed, quickly picked up a bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother is so young, I don't know what his plans are next?" Yuan Xiaoliu asked Ling Tianyun with a concerned look. Although it was a light question, Ling Tianyun clearly felt that the other party must have something else next.
talk.
"I didn't have any plans. I thought I had taken refuge in the Feng family, but I never thought that even the Feng family would be in trouble. I'm afraid that it will be difficult every step of the way in the future. One step at a time. When the Feng family really wants to
Let’s not talk about firing people. With the world in chaos right now, there is no real place to stay.”
"Actually, little brother, you are exaggerating. Although there are many countries in the world today, there is only one country that can truly be legitimate. It is said that the people of that country live and work in peace and contentment and are prosperous. How can there be a small country like ours that forces conscription from time to time?
Raising taxes will make people's lives miserable and desolate. If brothers are really capable, why worry about not having a good future."
After listening to what the other party said, Ling Tianyun gradually understood in his heart that the other party must be from the Great Zhou Kingdom, perhaps a spy sent by the Great Zhou Kingdom or a lobbyist. He pretended not to be very white, with a look in his eyes.
He looked at each other with doubtful eyes.
"Brother, I know what you are thinking, but brother, if you really want to build a career, you can't achieve it by staying here. Let me tell you another secret. Why don't you ask the people who come from behind and then stay silent?
Who is that person who left not long ago?" Yuan Xiaoliu suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered.
"Oh, who are those two people?" Ling Tianyun really wants to know who those two people are. What he really wants to know is their identity. Are those two people from the Great Zhou Kingdom? Then the black lady should be Guo Huaian.
The person on the eldest brother's side should belong to the Guiyi Army. How could she have close contact with the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom?
"The red-faced man was a captain of the Forbidden Army in Kaifeng, the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the woman in black who came with him was a strong general under the Guiyi Army in the north. This time they came to Feng Mansion to meet with the old man of the Feng family
The contact must not only be about business matters, but you should think about it carefully."
Yuan Xiaoliu had a mysterious and inscrutable expression. He also poured a bowl of wine for Ling Tianyun. His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Although Ling Tianyun had guessed something, he still didn't expect that the red-faced man had such a big background. He was actually a captain of the imperial army in the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. They came to this city without fear of exposing their identities. After all, in
Also included in the birthday banquet were the generals of the border defense army in Daizhou City and the officials in Daizhou City.
"Brother, are you curious about why they can come here so boldly without fearing the generals and government officials in this city?" Yuan Xiaoliu seemed to see his doubts. He chuckled and then said: "Actually,
This is nothing. This Daizhou was originally located at the perfect border between the Three Kingdoms. Although it is now under the jurisdiction of our country, there is no guarantee that the generals in the city's army and those in the government will have different intentions. Who doesn't want to be in this chaos?
They are also betting on the situation. They are also waiting to see which country is stronger, so they turn a blind eye to this. Whoever is most beneficial to them will fall to them."
"Listening to your words is really worth ten years of reading. I respect you, Brother Yuan." Ling Tianyun also had a sudden enlightenment at this moment. These were originally caused by some political factors, and Daizhou City is the place where the three countries meet, and people from all countries are flowing everywhere.
Spies are not surprised at all. Ordinary people don't care who is in charge. As long as they are fed and clothed, they will not expose you when they are full. If ordinary people are like this, how can those who look down on all living beings be more stupid?
Woolen cloth.
"Brother Lin, you are too polite. I think I am just a lobbyist. If you have any intention in this regard, I can help you connect. It would be good to have a good source." Then Yuan Xiaoliu
With eyes full of light, he turned his head and said to Ling Tianyun, stating his position. Ling Tianyun used a pseudonym named Lin, so the other party would also call him "Brother Lin".
Ling Tianyun's eyes showed contemplation, and he couldn't help playing with the big bowl with his right hand. He did not immediately agree to the other party or refuse the other party. He happened to be rushing to Jizhou in the Great Zhou Kingdom to be entrusted by his father Ling Duo.
This explains the story of Wanyan Wudi, the great Khitan master. But he did not expect that Wanyan Wudi would appear in the territory of the Han Kingdom so early, and he also joined forces with the Zhong family of Jinyang to launch a conspiracy to eliminate dissidents. Presumably this
Wanyan Wudi's whereabouts have long been known to the world of martial arts, so it doesn't make much sense for him to go to Jizhou again.
"Brother, think about it carefully. The people who have stayed away from the Feng family should come out soon, and some decisions will be announced by then. It will not be too late for brother to make a decision." Yuan Xiaoliu did not ask him to answer immediately, but instead
Encouraging the other party to make careful considerations shows that they have good intentions.
Ling Tianyun smiled helplessly. He didn't reply. He was looking at the hall, thinking about how he was going to recognize his relatives. He could not let the Zhong family's spies find out that he was related to the Feng family, and he couldn't let the Zhong family know that he was related to the Feng family.
It was too late to meet my relatives.
The two were silent for a moment, and Yuan Xiaoliu thought that Ling Tianyun was considering his proposal and stopped disturbing him, so that he could think more carefully and make the most accurate judgment.
For a moment, everyone at the open-air tables was silent. There was a low atmosphere and a vague worry in their hearts. Maybe someone had got some inside information. What was more revealed in their eyes was the helpless sadness.
Color. In addition to sadness, some people also have a feeling of reluctance in their eyes. Some people are sad and silent alone. Some people are also staring at the closed door, hoping that the people of the Feng family inside
Show up early.
The desolate and cold winter sun emits a cold light. Although there is still a hint of warmth, it is still difficult to drive away the serious chill in everyone's hearts. The sun in winter is not piercing and dazzling, but as warm as silk.
Such a beautiful winter day cannot give everyone a happy and good mood.
There is a miserable atmosphere everywhere. Although they care about each other silently, their feelings are difficult to understand. Although it is bleak, they are all united and their only purpose is to hope that the Feng family will not perish.
Just when Ling Tianyun was thinking about it, he saw a servant of the Feng family rushing towards the main hall. His face was extremely panicked. His rapid steps were filled with panic and panic, and he almost wanted to be stepped on.
He tripped over some stones, but his body ran quickly and messily.
Not long after, the servant rushed into the door. I don't know if the matter was urgent or he forgot in panic. When everyone saw this, their faces suddenly changed and turned pale. They knew that there was no emergency.
Well, the servants of the Feng family would not show such panic. After all, the servants of the Feng family also have certain mental qualities.
The servant went in for a stick of incense, but had not come out yet. Just when everyone was doubtful, the door opened, and the main members of the Feng family filed out. What surprised everyone was that they clearly saw
When they arrived at the second largest family in Daizhou City, the two members of the Tan family were also here, and they followed closely behind Feng Yuxiu, the old master of the Feng family. Everyone was even more confused, wasn't the Tan family the mortal enemy of the Feng family?
Why did they appear here? Everyone was puzzled and their eyes were all focused on Feng Yuxiu, whose hair was covered with silver threads.
For a moment, the surroundings were as quiet as the sound of a needle dropping. Everyone looked at the people in the hall who were filing out of the hall with confused eyes. Everyone in the Feng family hugged Feng Yuxiu in the middle, but their eyes did not look at him.
Instead of looking at the people sitting here, he looked straight ahead, which was the main entrance to the Feng Family Courtyard.
Ling Tianyun saw his relatives right in front of him, and the unconcealed sadness surged up in his heart, and there was a sudden sense of sadness in his nose. He couldn't help but lowered his head quickly, his relatives were so close in front of him, but at this moment, he was unspeakable
He couldn't immediately step forward to acknowledge his difficulties. This made his heart throbbing fiercely again, and waves of feeling came like waves crashing on the shore, each wave getting higher than the next.
He also spotted Tan Tianya, the eldest daughter of the Tan family, who was standing among the people of the Feng family. Tan Tianya also had sharp eyes, and he spotted him with a glance. He could clearly feel a hint of unexpected light in her eyes.
, but in a flash, he turned his gaze forward again.
Everyone was also puzzled. They didn't know why the Feng family member came out to the hall door at this time. Judging from the situation, he seemed to be greeting someone, but it was puzzling who was so arrogant.
Doubtful glances shot out from everyone's eyes, and they could only wait quietly. At this moment, the entire Feng Mansion was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere. Everyone was feeling inexplicable panic, and they didn't know where this panic came from.
No matter what, I just felt that the atmosphere was really strange.
Ling Tianyun was even more confused. He felt that everyone in the Feng family had a hint of sullenness on their faces, and they seemed to have extremely angry expressions in their hearts. And the person they were waiting for was neither a guest nor a friend. Could it be that the person rushing towards him
He came here to do harm to the Feng family. Thinking of this, his heart was aroused, but his expression could no longer be concealed.
But Yuan Xiaoliu beside him was stunned for a moment, and his eyes flickered. On the one hand, he felt something strange about Ling Tianyun, and on the other hand, he was guessing who the person who was about to enter the Feng Mansion was.
Although Ling Tianyun was filled with anger, he still did not lose his mind. Out of desperation, he quickly picked up the big knife that he had thrown behind him. Feeling the heavy big knife, he felt inexplicably a little at ease in his heart.
The feeling. The heavy knife was held tightly in his hand, and his eyes were staring at the door of the Feng Mansion, as if two beams of light could penetrate the closed door.
The door slowly opened, and the servants of the Feng family ushered in a person, but he was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old who was alone and proud. He was dressed in black coarse cloth, and his angular features were exquisite and translucent.
There is a childishness that has not yet been shed. The high bridge of his nose and the deep-set eyes are particularly unusual. What is even more peculiar is that this young man is carrying an iron gun on his back that is longer than his height. Seven
The height of the chi gives people a majestic and strong feeling, which is in perfect harmony with the spear behind him.
As soon as the young man entered the Feng family's gate, he stood upright. His eyes like an eagle swept away everyone with a heart-stopping light. He stood upright proudly, like a tall and majestic green pine standing in the cold winter.
The awe-inspiring and cold look inside.
What a rich and handsome young man, such an arrogant and self-reliant young man. Everyone immediately praised this young man inexplicably. They had no idea what this young man was doing in the Feng family, let alone who he was.
