In front of the "Spring Garden" located in the middle of Chang'an Avenue in Baishui City, there was a line of luxury carriages. A wealthy man got out of the carriage. The young man standing in front of the "Spring Garden" was stunned.
, they felt that all the dignitaries of Baishui City, including merchants, wealthy people, and local gentry, seemed to be gathered at this moment, and they all came one after another as if they had made an appointment.
After several groups of rich people came in, the two young men looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They didn't know why so many rich people came here tonight. The number of people coming one after another began to decrease, and there were almost no carriages coming.
, about half an hour later, there was no one left. The two young men let out a long breath. Every time a group of wealthy people came, they would bow their heads, with their insincere smiles on their faces, and
Tonight, their waists were almost bent to the point of breaking, and their faces were almost frozen with smiles. They could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The two young men standing at the gate of "Spring Garden" began to stretch and move their limbs. Suddenly, a feeling of comfort spread. At this time, two more carriages came slowly.
, the carriages were all wrapped in black cloth, making them look particularly mysterious. The two young men, who had just put down their nerves when they saw this, regained their nerves and looked at the slowly approaching carriage. Behind the carriage were two horses, riding on the horse.
The ones on top were a middle-aged scribe and a sturdy man.
The carriages parked side by side in front of the door, and a young man got out of the first carriage. The young man was about seventeen years old. He was dressed in purple brocade clothes and a white fur robe. There was a sharp look between his brows.
The aura of the young man is strong and majestic. His beautiful face is embedded with a pair of eyes like eagle eyes. He has a world-beating temperament. The high bridge of his nose highlights the unique characteristics of the Khitan people.
"Khitan people," the two young men thought to themselves. Although they had seen a lot of Khitan people, they had never seen such a young Khitan person who exuded the aura of kingly wealth.
Their many years of professional experience determined that this young master must be extraordinary and definitely not an ordinary wealthy person.
A middle-aged man got out of another carriage. The man was about forty years old and had a slightly chubby figure. The middle-aged man exuded a kind of official power that had been accumulated for a long time.
The young man was wearing a white fur coat. Although he was dressed in civilian clothes, it could still be seen that he still maintained the unique image of an official.
The young master in brocade clothes and the middle-aged man walked side by side towards the gate of the "Spring Garden", followed by the middle-aged scribe and the stout man who got off the horse. Two young men hurriedly greeted them.
With a "click", Ling Tianyun squeezed hard with his five fingers without realizing it, but crushed the teacup in his hand. Ling Tianyun showed an apologetic smile to Guo Jian. Guo Jian shook his head and said: "A temporary failure does not mean anything. You are of the same age.
, and even though you lost a round in that exchange, it also aroused a fighting spirit that you had never had before, right? You will have to fight sooner or later in the future, so you can know the gap between you and him in advance.
"
Ling Tianyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There was still a big gap between himself and Yelu Zongheng. Not only in terms of martial arts skills, but also in terms of personal wit, he was much weaker than Yelu Zongheng.
"You are all young talents, so don't belittle yourselves," Guo Jian comforted Ling Tianyun, and then said, "If you knew who Yelu Zongheng's master was, you wouldn't be so entangled."
Ling Tianyun was shocked. He didn't know that Yelu Zongheng had another master. After his first confrontation with Yelu Zongheng, Ling Tianyun also asked Ling Duozhi about him, only to find out that Yelu Zongheng was actually the third son of the Khitan Emperor.
The third prince of the Khitan who was named the King of Qin. Later he collected some information about Yelu Zongheng. The world's evaluation of Yelu Zongheng was: "He is gifted by nature, arrogant and domineering". But Ling Tianyun felt that these eight words were far away.
It is far from enough to evaluate Yelu Zongheng. It is said that when the Khitan emperor made Na Yelu Zongheng the king, Na Yelu Zongheng took the initiative to request that he be given the title of "King of Qin", which shows that his ambition was extraordinary.
Seeing Ling Tianyun's shocked expression, Guo Jian said: "Actually, Yelu Zongheng does not have only one master. One of the people who taught him martial arts is Wanyan Wudi, the great Khitan master. He is Wanyan Wudi's only disciple. Although
Yelu Zongheng is the master of martial arts from Wanyan Wudi. He also has other masters in martial arts, but they are all unknown people with different sects. It can be said that Yelu Zongheng combines the strengths of hundreds of schools. It can be seen that
As for his talent in martial arts, Yelu Zongheng once worshiped Master Xiao from Yanzhou as his teacher. He learned our Central Plains culture, etiquette, and art of war, and mastered it immediately, and was able to apply what he learned immediately. Such a talented person with outstanding talent,
Fortunately, I was not made a prince by the Khitan emperor, otherwise our Central Plains would have been in danger."
Ling Tianyun suddenly realized that no wonder when he met Yelu Zongheng in the competition, he used a spear but no other tricks. Ling Tianyun felt that the gap between himself and Yelu Zongheng was even bigger, but he only had a glimpse of him, completely
Without seeing clearly his true strength, an invisible pressure, Yelu Zongheng stood in front of Ling Tianyun like a big mountain, which made Ling Tianyun once again ignite an even more powerful fighting spirit.
Faintly, Ling Tianyun felt that there would definitely be another confrontation with Yelu Zongheng. It had nothing to do with the Northern Han Kingdom and the Khitan Kingdom, or between the Han people and the Khitan people. He felt that there would definitely be a fateful battle between him and Yelu Zongheng.
Ling Tianyun felt that this sudden thought was a bit ridiculous and absurd. Although he did not believe in any destiny, he could not explain why this ridiculous thought flashed in his mind. Could it be that somehow
Is there really heaven arranging all of this?
Ling Tianyun felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Guo Jian patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Something big will happen in Baishui City tonight. Are you interested in going and taking a look?"
"Big thing, what big thing?" Ling Tianyun looked at him doubtfully: "Is it related to what happened this afternoon?"
"Of course, it may explain everything that happened today, but not necessarily." Guo Jian showed an enigmatic smile.
"Brother Guo, I'm really becoming more and more interested in your identity. Can you reveal some of it?" Ling Tianyun suddenly changed the subject. He really wanted to know Guo Jian's true identity. He actually knew so much about the Khitan people.
Of course, Ling Tianyun can be sure that Guo Jian has no ill intentions towards him.
"Haha, it is not convenient to reveal my identity for the time being. When the time comes, you will naturally know. Now let's go out and meet the legendary third prince of Khitan, King Yelu Zongheng of Qin."
Ling Tianyun's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not expect Yelu Zongheng to come to Baishui Pass. No wonder he found Hai Dongqing hovering in the sky above Baishui City when he left the General's Mansion in the afternoon.
"What is he doing in Baishui City? Does my father know about these things? Should I go back and report to my father first?" Ling Tianyun asked Guo Jian these doubts.
"There is no need to tell your father, he knows many things. We will talk about it on the way."
Guo Jian and Ling Yun walked out of the house one after another. Along the way, Ling Tianyun asked about the identities of the four men in black. From Guo Jian's mouth, he learned that the identities of the four men in black were not simple. They were Yanyun Sixteen States Middle School.
The four major commanders of the Shuozhou Guiyi Army. Since Shi Jingtang sold the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture to the Khitan for self-protection, there are many people with lofty ideals who have organized some anti-Qidan rebels, among which the Guiyi Army is one of them.
There is a resistance team, and it is the largest among many rebel armies. The leader of the rebel army in Shuozhou is named Guo Cunyi.
The woman in black is nicknamed "Black Lady". Her name is unknown to Guo Jian, and her weapon is a soft whip. The Black Lady is the most mysterious among the four commanders of the Guiyi Army.
The long whip dances like a trance, disappearing like a ghost, making it elusive. It is like a life-threatening rope in the underworld. If you are not careful, you will be strangled by the long whip and lose your life. Among the Guiyi Army, it is very rare that
There are few traces of her, unless there are some important meetings or important actions, you can see her figure.
The other three, the older one is named Mo Xiaoshan. This man does not have any weapons. His fists are his weapons. This man's fists can break mountains and shake the world. His pair of iron fists have smashed countless enemies to suppress them.
A Khitan soldier, this person is the commander with the most profound internal strength among the four.
The other two are brothers. No wonder Ling Tianyun and the others feel that the two have some similarities in appearance. One of them, the one who wields the stick, is his elder brother, He Tiejiang, and the one who wields the double sword is his younger brother, He Tiechuan. The two brothers have been together since childhood.
Both his parents died. When he was ten years old, Shi Jingtang dedicated the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture to the Khitan. In order to consolidate its dominance, the Khitan carried out a large-scale cleanup of the Han people in the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. The families of the two brothers
During this misfortune, their parents and relatives were all killed by the Khitans. Only these two brothers escaped and wandered for some time. They were taken in by an old monk and taught them some martial arts. The one who hated the Khitans the most was not this one.
These two brothers belong to none other than the two.
"Where are we going?" Ling Tianyun saw Guo Jian walking out of the dark bungalow area and walking straight to Chang'an Street, the bustling area of Baishui City. "The garden is full of spring scenery" Guo Jian said calmly as he hurried on.
answer.
"Ah", Ling Tianyun exclaimed and stopped. He had heard of "The Garden Full of Spring". It was the only brothel in Baishui City. He had never been to that place. It was said that the "Garden Full of Spring"
"There are as many beauties as there are, and all of them are as gentle as water. They are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Ling Tianyun is really a junior brother when it comes to things between men and women. He has always been under the control of his father Ling Duo.
Under the influence, he has been growing up in the military camp. He really doesn't understand the romantic things outside. When he heard that he was going to a brothel, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but feel frightened.
Guo Jian also stopped and looked at him with strange eyes and said, "What's wrong with going to a brothel? We are here to watch the excitement. What's the fuss? Doesn't it mean that our Lord Ling doesn't dare to go?"
When Ling Tianyun heard this, he said unconvinced: "Just go, no one is afraid of you, but don't tell my father." The latter sentence obviously did not have much confidence.
"Don't worry, it will be fine even if your father finds out." After Guo Jian said that, he turned around and stepped forward. Ling Tianyun had no choice but to follow Guo Jian.
