At this time, the onlookers were stunned. They did not expect that this was an ordinary contest, but it turned into a killing game that wanted to kill Ling Tianyun. No one had reacted yet. Ling Tianyun took a big step and raised his hand.
Stepping on the knife that was slashing toward his legs, the Khitan man quickly reacted and immediately drew the knife and retreated.
But he didn't escape the big fist that hit him behind. With a "bang" sound, the Khitan's big fist behind Ling Tianyun hit his back hard, like a huge hammer.
In the middle, a tearing and sharp breath came from his back, Ling Tianyun was like a lightning strike, his mind went blank, his face suddenly turned pale, and a stinging blood flowed from his mouth. The tearing pain
It started to spread from his back.
Duo'er was shocked when she saw this. Her eyes opened angrily, and a cold and majestic breath came out of her body. She was about to step forward, but a slender jade hand pressed down on hers from behind.
On top of her shaved shoulders. Duo'er turned around and saw the proprietress of the unknown wine shop, her own mother, standing behind her. Her right hand was on her shoulder. Duo'er's eyes showed a puzzled look, and the proprietress pursed her lips.
He raised his lips, gave her a calm look, and gently shook his head at Duo'er.
Ling Tianyun staggered, the chaotic aura flowing freely through his body. He seemed to be unsteady when his back was successfully attacked by the Khitan man, and he might fall to the ground at any time. The other two Khitan men holding swords saw this and stopped.
The attack on Ling Tianyun stood not far away from Ling Tianyun, looking at him coldly. The three Khitans formed a triangle and surrounded Ling Tianyun in the center.
After seeing Ling Tianyun being seriously injured, the three Khitan people didn't seem to be in a hurry to take action, as if they were waiting for something. Ling Tianyun's thoughts began to flicker, from when he saw Hai Dongqing to when he entered the wine shop and then stepped forward.
From rescuing Duo'er's invasion to the duel with this Khitan man, everything seemed to have a thread guiding it all. The uneasiness in Ling Tianyun's heart became more intense. He didn't know whether all this was aimed at him or his father, Ling Duozhi.
What makes Ling Tianyun feel even more strange is that he has been seriously injured. From the moment he landed on the ground after being lifted up and thrown out by the first Khitan who fought with him, this is a game, one that will definitely kill him.
The killing strategy, from the way he fights the enemy, his internal strength to his Qinggong cultivation, is so accurate. Although he has dealt with the Khitan people for several years, the other party does not know much about these things. Ling Tianyun felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be???????, he didn't dare to think about all this anymore. If his guess was realized, it would be a conspiracy against Baishui City and Ling Tianyun and his son.
At this time, the setting sun had completely set in the west, and a few bloody sunsets were dotted in the blue sky, creating a solemn and desolate scene. The onlookers on the street in front of the nameless wine shop held their breath and watched quietly.
With all this.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and after a while, several horses quickly came to the street in front of the unknown wine shop, and several servants wearing the clothes of government servants jumped from the horses. One of the servants drew his saber,
He pointed the knife at the three Khitan men and shouted loudly: "Arrest these three Khitan spies." Immediately, three government officials came forward and put the knife on the necks of the three Khitan men, making them unable to resist. The other government officials took out their swords.
He pulled out ropes and stepped forward to tie up the three Khitans. However, the three Khitans did not resist, made no sound, or showed any panic expression, and allowed the government officials to tie them up. After a while, all three Khitans were tied up.
After they were tied up, three government officials stood behind them holding knives.
The yamen officer who raised his sword and commanded walked up to Ling Tianyun and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little late and Mr. Ling was frightened."
Ling Tianyun knew the yamen officer, who was the chief arrester of the Baishui City government office. His surname was He. Ling Tianyun had no dealings with him. He only knew that this man was highly skilled in martial arts and was definitely not an ordinary chief arrester of the government office.
Ling Tianyun also clasped his fists and replied: "I would like to thank Brother He and all the brothers for their help in rescuing me."
Then Mr. He smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Ling, you are so polite. We still failed to arrive in time and caused Young Master to be injured. I am deeply apologizing. Seeing that Young Master Ling is not in danger, I can rest assured."
." Mr. He asked again: "How is Mr. Ling's injury? Is it serious?"
"It's okay, it's just some flesh injuries, nothing serious." Ling Tianyun waved his hand and replied.
"Since Mr. Ling is fine, we will take our leave. Official matters are important, and I hope you will forgive me." Mr. He finished speaking and was about to mount his horse with his sword in hand.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
At this time, three sharp and powerful sounds roared through the air, and three black iron arrows were seen shooting towards the throats of the three Khitan people with a faint light. In an instant, the three iron arrows sank into the throat with sharp precision.
In the throats of the three Khitan men, blood splashed on the tail feathers of the three arrows, which was dazzling and strange. The three Khitan men's eyes showed confusion and unwillingness, and they fell to the ground with a groan. Regarding this sudden change, everyone was shocked.
Didn't react.
In this regard, Ling Tianyun did not expect that it was originally a killing move against him, but it seemed that it was not the case at this time. When he was first injured, the three Khitan people obviously did not attack again. It was obvious that the move was to seriously injure him.
At this moment, the three Khitan people were killed by three iron arrows that came out of the blue. He planned a trap to hurt himself, and then killed the three Khitan people. Ling Tianyun thought deeply in his heart. Who wanted to set up this trap?
What is its purpose? Ling Tianyun was also confused.
Mr. He was stunned when he caught the officials, especially the ones standing behind the three Khitan people. They broke out in a cold sweat, as if they were on the edge of life and death. They really felt like they had walked away from the gate of hell just now.
After the incident, Mr. He calmed down first. He walked to the side of the three Khitan people who had fallen to the ground and checked the breathing of the three Khitan people respectively. He found that the three Khitan people were dead and not breathing.
Ling Tianyun looked around. The people watching were very quiet at this time. It seemed that they had not yet reacted to the sudden change. There were no tall buildings around. Where did the arrow come from? There must be at least one person around.
There are relatively tall buildings more than a hundred feet away. Such a long distance and such accurate archery skills are almost non-existent among the people Ling Tianyun knows, at least not in this Baishui City. Ling Tianyun's eyes turned again
Turning back to the crowd of onlookers, his eyes moved around the crowd, not noticing anything suspicious.
When Ling Tianyun's eyes returned to the three Khitan men again, looking at the arrow feathers with blood splattered on them, his pupils shrank slightly. Those three arrows gave him a familiar feeling, and he walked
He came to the corpse of a Khitan man and squatted down to take a closer look at the iron arrow that had gone into his throat. The corpse of the Khitan man was lying on his back with his head tilted to one side. The arrow penetrated from the back of his neck and was covered with blood.
blood stains.
At this time, Mr. He stood beside Ling Tianyun and asked, "Master Ling, have you discovered anything?"
Ling Tianyun carefully observed the iron arrow from the arrowhead to the tail feathers several times. He did not answer Mr. He's words. Only then did he know why the three arrow feathers were so familiar, because those three arrow feathers were
The arrows coming from the border troops guarding the city from Baishui Pass came to the military camp. Could it be??????, Ling Tianyun's uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart.
Ling Tianyun stood up and asked Mr. He: "Brother He, how did you know what happened here? And from the tone of Brother He, it seemed that I knew that the younger brother was in crisis here."
"Didn't Mr. Ling ask your colleagues to come to the government office to report to the officials?" Mr. He said in surprise.
Ling Tianyun was stunned when he heard Mr. He's words. He was the only one here, and he didn't meet any soldiers from the border troops guarding the city. A flash of thought came to his mind. Is this one of Bu's?
What kind of situation was this? He vaguely felt that all this conspiracy was really directed at the soldiers guarding the city and his father, Ling Duozhi.
Ling Tianyun knelt down again and tore open the lapel of the Khitan man's clothes, and took out a small booklet from the corpse's arms, the Khitan customs clearance document. The customs clearance document had both Chinese characters and Khitan characters, and it was the Khitan document inside.
The document proving the person's identity read, "Yelü Boqing, the fourth brother of the Khitan general Yelv Tuo, the commander of thousands of soldiers under Yelu Tuo of the Khitan Kingdom." Ling Tianyun looked at the document and muttered.
