The sky began to slowly darken, and darkness began to shroud Baishuiguan, the border city located in the northernmost part of the Northern Han Dynasty. A sudden shadow shrouded Ling Tianyun's heart.
Mr. He glanced at the small booklet in Ling Tianyun's hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Ling Tianyun handed the booklet in his hand to Mr. He, and Mr. He looked at the booklet with an expression on his face.
He began to look serious. He looked up at Ling Tianyun and said, "This customs clearance document is true. If the Khitan who was killed is really Yelu Boqing, we will be in big trouble. Mr. Ling has some doubts about this."
What’s your opinion?”
Ling Tianyun pondered for a while, with a solemn but helpless look on his face. He discovered that the owner of the customs clearance document, the dead Khitan, was the person who fought against him for the first time. Captain, no wonder his internal strength was so deep.
But what he thinks is even more strange is that the Khitan obviously does not have the aura that dominates thousands of troops, and the murderous and violent aura that a captain should have. Could it be that this person is fake, but the document is
real.
Ling Tiantian muttered: "The document is true, but people may not know it yet."
"How do you say this?" Mr. He asked doubtfully.
Ling Tianyun explained his thoughts and guesses to Mr. He. Mr. He went to the corpses of the other two Khitans and took out two customs clearance documents. He found that the documents of the two Khitans stated that they were two
An ordinary businessman.
Mr. He pondered for a while. He couldn't explain this. He said helplessly to Ling Tianyun: "It's getting late now. I'll go back to the government office and report to Mr. Fu Yin so that Mr. Fu Yin can make a decision. We'll take our leave now.
, If Lord Fu Yin needs to question Young Master Ling to investigate the case, I hope that Young Master Ling will cooperate with you."
"Mr. He is very polite. If necessary, I will go to the government office to cooperate."
Mr. He hugged Ling Yun and arranged for other government officials to carry the bodies of the three Khitans. He got on his horse and left with the officials, heading straight to the Baishui City Government Office. At this time, everyone onlookers began to disperse when they saw this.
Already.
Ling Tianyun looked at the government officials who were gradually leaving. He also discovered that one of his old acquaintances, Guo Jian, was not among these government officials. This also made him a little confused. No matter what happens in Baishui City, big or small, there will always be something.
Guo Jian's figure appeared, but he didn't see anyone else today, but it was hard for him to ask too much, after all, it was a matter in the government office.
The slight chill was particularly clear in the darkening scene. Ling Tianyun walked to the door of the wine shop and picked up his saber. He said hello to the proprietress and Duo'er of the wine shop, and walked to the general's mansion. He
He couldn't wait to rush back. He had to tell his father what happened. He felt that all of this might really point directly to his father, Ling Duozhi. He also had a guess in his mind that he must get his father's information.
Only with help can we get to the bottom of it.
Duo'er looked at Ling Tianyun's leaving back, and a strange light shot out from her eyes, which disappeared in a flash. Her timid look returned to her eyes, and her red cheeks seemed to be even more rosy. The landlady looked at all this.
, showing a slight smile.
Ling Tianyun rushed to the general's street in a hurry. Along the street of the market, Ling Tianyun ran all the way and passed through four streets to the general's mansion. Ling Tianyun looked around vigilantly. There were few people going up the street, two or three people.
There were only a few figures walking on the ten-foot-wide street, and smoke began to rise from the residential houses everywhere.
When Ling Tianyun was about to cross a cross street, he saw a figure standing in the middle of the cross street. Ling Tianyun felt a warning in his heart and immediately stopped running. When he took a closer look, he saw that the man was wearing black clothes and a black robe.
, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, facing him head-on, with his head lowered so that Ling Tianyun could not see his face clearly.
Ling Tianyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the man with a sharp gaze. He saw the man slowly raised his head. Ling Tianyun was stunned, and saw a resolute and familiar face appearing in front of him.
"Brother Guo," a voice of surprise came out of Ling Tianyun's mouth. He did not expect that the person standing in the middle of the intersection was Guo Jian. What puzzled him was that Guo Jian was wearing a strange dress at this time.
At this time, Guo Jianyan's familiar aura was gone, replaced by a sharp and majestic aura.
Guo Jian glanced at Ling Tianyun and showed a slight smile. He didn't say anything, just made a gesture, turned and walked towards the street on the right. Ling Tianyun didn't say anything when he saw this, and followed Guo Jian silently. He was thinking a lot in his heart.
Too many things happened today, from the conversation of his father Ling Duozhi in the morning, to the fight with the Khitan people not long ago, to the Khitan people being killed by sharp arrows, and at this time, a friend he was familiar with, Guo Jian,...
Sometimes it gives me another strange atmosphere.
Guo Jian's pace began to speed up, and his figure flashed sharply, sometimes taking a few steps, and sometimes flying into the air. Ling Tianyun followed him closely. At first, he could barely keep up with his pace. Slowly, Ling Tianyun began to
It felt a bit strenuous, and beads of sweat began to appear on his head, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Whenever Ling Tianyun wanted to follow Guo Jian, Guo Jian would slow down, and the two of them kept running like this.
About a quarter of an hour later, Guo Jian stopped. There was only a small street about one foot wide. There were rows of short residential houses on both sides of the small street. Guo Jian stopped at an ordinary bungalow.
Beside the wall, Ling Tianyun followed him panting, breathing heavily. He stood behind Guo Jianjian and looked around. He had never been to this place. He had not been to every place in Baishui City.
Yes, but this is not Guo Jian's home. Although Guo Jian's home is also in a bungalow, this is obviously not it.
Guo Jian walked in front of a dilapidated wooden door in the middle of the earth wall. He reached out and knocked on the wooden door a few times. After a while, the wooden door opened with a creak. Behind the door stood an old man in his seventies, with his back hunched over.
, leaning on a cane, the hair on the top of the old man's head has long been bald, and a few sparse white hairs are tied behind his head. His thin face has no flesh at all, as if there is only a piece of human skin left on his face.
The eyes of the seventy-year-old man looked at Ling Tianyun with a frightening light. Feeling the gaze of the seventy-year-old man, Ling Tianyun suddenly felt chills all over his body. His heart shivered and goosebumps appeared all over his body. He felt that the old man was like a zombie.
Staring at him.
Guo Jian lowered his head and whispered a few words into the ear of the seventy-year-old man. The old man turned sideways and let them in. Ling Tianyun followed Guo Jian through the wooden door. The seventy-year-old man then closed the wooden door and followed them. Ling Tianyun felt
It's a bit weird, especially the feeling of the seventy-year-old man following behind me, which makes me feel a little fuzzy in my heart.
Walking into the dilapidated wooden door, you will see a small courtyard. The ground in the courtyard is pitted, with a few scattered stones sunk deeply into the soil. There is a small stone mill in the corner of the courtyard.
Following the three dilapidated mud houses in front of the courtyard, Guo Jian led Ling Tianyun towards the middle mud house, which had its wooden door open.
Ling Tianyun also followed Guo Jian into the earthen house. Surprisingly, the seventy-year-old man did not follow him in, but went to the earthen house on the right. There was no old man following him, which made Ling Tianyun feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly there was a lot less.
Candles had already been lit in the earthen house. The dim lights swayed with the wind brought by Guo Jian and Ling Tianyun as they entered. The already dark sky became even darker as soon as they entered the earthen house. The swaying
Several figures flashed out in the candlelight. Seeing this, Ling Tianyun hesitated for a moment, but still stood behind Guo Jian.
Following the flickering dim candlelight, Ling Tianyun found four people sitting at a small, shabby square table in the room, and the four of them were dressed like Guo Jian, wearing black clothes and a big black robe. Different
What was surprising was that they did not wear bamboo hats. When the four of them saw Guo Jian entering the room, they immediately stood up. The four of them glanced at Ling Tianyun and stopped looking.
Ling Tianyun looked at the four people through the dim candlelight. One of them was actually a woman. She had a beautiful fair face, black eyebrows like spring, but her bright eyes revealed a mist-like light. On the black clothed figure
Under the package, her delicate figure was highlighted. But Ling Tianyun could not determine her age. As if she felt Ling Tianyun's gaze, the woman's dark eyebrows frowned slightly, but her eyes slightly glanced over Ling Tianyun.
