Located in Baishui City, there is a main street called Chang'an Street. Chang'an Street is the most prosperous street in Baishui City. In the center of the street is the most luxurious and only brothel in Baishui City, called "Spring Man Yuan". Although Baishui City is a border gate
It is a small city, but its special geographical location is that it is at the junction with the Khitan and it is also a city that has business exchanges with the Khitan. The prosperity of Baishui City is no less than that of other cities in the Northern Han Dynasty.
It was getting late at this time, and the streets of Chang'an were lit up for the first time. Big red lanterns were lit on both sides of the street. If you look down from high in the sky, it would be like a red agate dotting the entire Baishui City, corresponding to the dots of starlight.
At this time, Chang'an Street was busy with traffic and people were coming and going. All the wealthy families in the city were rushing to this street. It seemed that there were more people coming and going tonight than before, and some strange figures also appeared on the street. Those
The strange figures are all dressed like people in the world.
Compared with the bustling Chang'an Street, a group of bungalows in the east of Baishui City seemed extremely quiet at this time. Only a few barks of dogs could be heard occasionally. That area was completely dark, and some only had a few bungalows.
There were a few dim candlelights inside.
Ling Tianyun and Guo Jian were sitting in the bungalow, "Do you know that the third Khitan prince, Yelu Zongheng?" Guo Jian asked in surprise when he saw the glint in Ling Tianyun's eyes.
"How do you know?" Ling Tianyun replied with a wry smile, but his mind flew to the confrontation with a Khitan boy of similar age two years ago.
It was a hot summer day. Ling Tianyun climbed over the mountain peak directly north of Baishui City and was about to attack the Khitan army. On the other side of the mountain was a green slope with a few strong horses.
Galloping quickly, there was a young man on horseback, about fifteen or sixteen years old. The young man was wearing a purple gown and riding a tall maroon horse. The young man was followed by several fierce Khitan warriors.
Ling Tianyun was lying in the grass. The Khitan people were only a hundred feet away from him, which made him nervous and couldn't help but hold his breath. The direction of the Khitan people running towards the east happened to be in front of Ling Tianyun's eyes.
Afterwards, when they were about 200 feet away from Ling Tianyun, Ling Tianyun heard a rapid hawk's cry, and only heard a long neigh of a horse, and the Khitan men reined in the horse.
Ling Tianyun suddenly felt uneasy. He knew that he had been discovered by Hai Dongqing in the sky, and those Khitan people must have also discovered him. He quickly stood up, jumped up and retreated. At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
There was a sound behind him. Ling Tianyun's body rose and fell several times, and he ran towards the mountain.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Several arrow feathers shot through the air and shot directly at Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun heard the sound of breaking through the sky and wanted to avoid it, but it was too late. He turned around immediately, drew a few swords and struck down several arrow feathers in the air.
When it fell, he felt that one of the arrow feathers was so powerful that the force of the shock from his sword almost numbed his arm.
During this delay, the Khitan warriors had already chased him. The Khitan boy looked at Ling Tianyun coldly on his horse, holding the bow and arrow already strung in his hand. The other four Khitan warriors also aimed their arrows at Ling Tianyun.
, the young man put down the bow and arrow in his hand, looked down at Ling Tianyun and said: "You are so brave that you dare to come alone to spy on our Khitan military situation." The young man said it in Chinese, and his words were correct.
Yuan, Chinese is very standard. It is really difficult to find someone in the Khitan Kingdom who can speak Chinese with such standard.
Ling Tianyun calmly looked at the Khitan people sitting on the horses, and saw the young man's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a delicate face, and the young man's pair of eyes revealed an aura of domination that dominated the world, an invisible force.
The domineering aura naturally arose in him. Then he saw that the young man was carrying a spear on his back. The spear was about eight feet long and wrapped in black cloth. The head of the gun was exposed with a faint bloody aura.
Ling Tianyun knew that things were going to be very bad at this moment, and he was thinking about how to escape. He looked at the Khitan boy and said, "I'm just passing by here, and I'm just an ordinary person. Why do you insist that I'm the one you're with when you open your mouth?"
I came here to investigate your love." At this time, he was not wearing the uniform of the border army.
The Khitan young man smiled with a trace of ambiguity and said: "Then I would like to ask the young master who guards the border army at Baishui Pass to pass by here. What's the use of it?"
Ling Tianyun's pupils shrank slightly. The other party obviously knew his identity, and who was this Khitan boy? He was obviously not an ordinary Khitan boy. From the way he was dressed, it was clear that he was definitely not an ordinary person. He was particularly special.
It was his eyes that exuded a touch of domineering. How could he have such sharp domineering power at such a young age?
"This is the beginning of the alliance between the two countries. I believe Mr. Ling is not here to break the alliance agreement. I, the Khitan Kingdom, have made an alliance agreement with your country, so we can't be considered enemies, right?
." The Khitan boy said to Ling Tianyun in a condescending tone. The Khitan boy's condescending attitude made Ling Tianyun feel very uncomfortable.
"That's natural." Ling Tian bowed his head and said. At this time, he found that the other Khitan warriors on horseback had already put down their bows and arrows, and kept riding behind the Khitan boy.
"May I ask who you are and why you know Ling's name?" Ling Tianyun raised his head and asked the Khitan boy.
"I can only tell you my name. Mr. Ling has remembered it. My name is Yelu Zongheng. As for my identity, Mr. Ling is not qualified to know it yet." The Khitan boy spit out a domineering name, and
When he said his name, his whole body exuded a kind of transcendent arrogance.
Yelu Zongheng, what a domineering name, such an arrogant and domineering young man, Ling Tianyun thought to himself.
"I would like to ask Mr. Yelu if you have any other advice. If not, Ling will take his leave." Ling Tianyun could only leave the place where this was wrong. Although Yelu Zongheng and the four Khitan warriors showed no signs of taking action at this time, the Khitan people's character
It’s hard to predict, so leaving is the best option.
After Ling Tianyun finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Hold on, Mr. Ling, why are you leaving in such a hurry? There is an alliance between our country and your country. Do you think Mr. Ling thinks that we will do harm to you?" Yelu Zongheng stopped Ling Tianyun and said slowly, although his tone was calm but still
That kind of domineering presence that impresses people.
Ling Tianyun turned around and looked at Yelu Zongheng in confusion. He saw Yelu Zongheng lifting the reins and the big bay red horse walked towards Ling Tianyun. Yelu Zongheng turned over and got off the horse and stood in front of Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun immediately felt Yelu Zongheng's powerful aura hitting his face.
Yes, Yelu is slightly taller than Ling Tianyun in terms of aspect, but his figure is obviously stronger.
Ling Tianyun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yelu Zongheng, who was about the same age as himself, and Yelu Zongheng was also looking at Ling Tianyun. He saw the young man in front of Yelu Zongheng who was about the same age as himself, with a resolute look on his face, although he was not delicate.
His face was also sharp and angular, and his starry eyes shone sharply from time to time. However, his face had not completely shed his childishness, but his energetic aura was slightly revealed.
"May I ask what else Mr. Yelu has to do?" Ling Tianyun said in a deep voice.
"I have heard that General Ling, the guard at the border, has the power to sweep through thousands of armies, and that one man has the courage to defeat thousands of people at the gate. I have admired your father for a long time, but it is fate that you and I meet now. Mr. Ling sees that Even though he is young, he is very courageous and wise, so he must have received the true inheritance from his father."
Sure enough, Ling Tianyun knew that it was impossible to leave easily at this time. Ling Tianyun found that the four Khitan warriors behind Yelu Zongheng did not dismount. They seemed to have deliberately tightened their nerves and placed arrows on their bows. They were ready to draw their bows at any time, and seemed to be protecting Yelu Zongheng at all times. What was the identity of Yelu Zongheng? These four Khitan warriors seemed to be very concerned about Yelu Zongheng's safety.
"What about Young Master Yelu?" Ling Tianyun had been guessing about Yelu Zongheng's identity.
"The meeting between you and me here is actually a kind of fate. How about we have a competition. I admire your father's style, but I have no chance to meet, so I can't ask your father for advice. Since we have met, I want to compete with Mr. Ling. Let’s compare notes with each other, and I wonder if Mr. Ling can reward me.” Yelu Zongheng’s tone seemed to be very polite, but his unquestionable domineering attitude was still there.
"If you want to fight, just say it. Why bother to involve my father and go through so many twists and turns? When did you Khitan people learn this hypocritical way? Ling will accompany you." Ling Tianyun only felt that Yelu Zongheng's rhetoric was too hypocritical. At first Ling Tianyun felt that Yelu Zongheng was domineering, and his image in his heart plummeted at this moment. The Khitan people had always given him the impression that he was strong and warlike in body, but straightforward in nature. But at this time, Yelu Zongheng gave him a sense of hypocrisy. a feeling of.
Yelu Zongheng heard Ling Tianyun's words, but there was no expression on his face. He calmly pulled out the spear behind his back and said to Ling Tianyun: "In this case, I'm sorry, please."
Ling Tianyun stood with his legs spread apart, drew out his saber, and pointed it at Yelu Zongheng. He saw Yelu Zongheng holding the end of the spear with both hands. With a slight shock, the silk wrapped around the spear immediately split, revealing the dark and shiny handle. spear
Yelu Zongheng wielded the spear with both hands and stabbed Ling Tianyun, and the spear flowers stabbed all the vital parts of Ling Tianyun's body. Ling Tianyun raised his knife and struck at Yelu Zongheng. For a moment, the light of the sword and the shadow of the gun intertwined, and two figures were seen intertwining, coming and going. Often several rounds.
After hearing a few "ding-dong" sounds, the two figures suddenly separated. Ling Tianyun's aura was chaotic, and the tiger's mouth holding the knife was numb. Yelu Zongheng's internal strength was obviously deeper than Ling Tianyun's, and his offensive was more fierce. He was invincible with a kind of domineering power that spanned the world. Ling Tianyun, on the other hand, has an aura of courage and courage.
"Come again," Yelu Zongheng shouted, and the shadows of spears suddenly came to attack Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun frowned slightly and swung his knife away. Layers of knife shadows were raised in the air, blocking Yelu Zongheng's spear shadows.
Yelu Zongheng smiled strangely, and a dazzling light was reflected from the tip of the spear. The dazzling light shot directly into Ling Tianyun's eyes. Ling Tianyun only felt that a white light shot into his eyes, making his eyes faint. After closing his eyes for a moment, his vision in front of him became blurry. A sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately stepped back, but unexpectedly, Yelu Zongheng's spear had already pierced towards him like lightning.
Ling Tianyun only felt a cold breath locked on his throat. Ling Tianyun opened his eyes and saw that the spear head with a faint blood-killing aura suddenly froze less than an inch in front of his throat. As long as
Yelu Zong gently moved the spear with his hand, and there would be a bloody hole in his throat.
Ling Tianyun looked at Yelu Zongheng calmly and said: "Using the reflection of the noon sun to catch Ling by surprise is such a clever method. Ling lost."
Yelu Zongheng said with a smile but not a smile: "No matter what method you use, it is a good way to win. Even if you don't use this method, it is impossible for Master Ling to defeat me. I have learned Master Ling's sword skills today, and I will see you later." After finishing speaking,
He jumped on the big bay-red horse and walked away with the other four Khitan warriors.
Ling Tianyun clenched his fists and stared blankly at Yelu Zongheng and the others who were leaving. His firm gaze shot out a fighting spirit like a burning flame. He was not discouraged by this. This failure only inspired him to continue to fight.
