The sun had just risen, and golden rays of light cleared away the haze that had shrouded Baishui City. Baishui City became lively again, and the streets began to be filled with bustling people. It seemed that they did not know what happened last night.
If they knew about this, they would definitely break into a cold sweat. The third Khitan prince appeared in Baishui City, and 10,000 Khitan elite iron cavalry came to the city.
The entire Baishui City is bathed in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
Baishui City, Ling Duozhi's general residence.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Ling Tianyun and others were sitting there. Guo Huaian's injuries were no longer serious. The toxins on his body had been removed long ago, but his face was still pale, which showed that the poison was so severe. Pang Bo, the steward of the Ling Mansion, shuttled among the people from time to time.
In the meantime, he served tea and water for everyone.
Ling Duozhi already knew what happened last night. He obviously didn't care much about Yelu Zongheng's assassination. Maybe he had already expected it. But he never expected that Guo Huaian would sacrifice his life to save him.
Of course, he didn't ask too much. For Guo Huaian, it was obvious that he was more than just the young master of the Guiyi Army. Ling Duozhi didn't pay much attention to these expressions.
"Yun'er, have you really decided?" Ling Duozhi put all his focus on his son, Ling Tianyun, and asked Ling Tianyun while holding a cup of tea.
"It's decided." Ling Tianyun's face was firm and his eyes were shining. The series of things that happened yesterday shocked Ling Tianyun. He urgently wanted to get out of Baishui Pass and go to the outside world to see. Over the years,
, he has been growing up under the wings of his father. Although he served as a scout in the military camp for several years, it was just a small world.
As the saying goes, "A son is better than his father." Ling Duozhi knew his son well. There was such a scandal in Baishui City, so he gave up the idea of letting Ling Tianyun go out. But Ling Tianyun still decided to go out and see the outside world.
After hearing Ling Tianyun's firm words, Ling Duozhi said nothing more and turned around to chat with Guo Huaian and the other four.
Not long after, Guo Huaian and the other four said goodbye and wanted to return to Shuozhou.
Seeing that Guo Huaian and the others were about to leave, Ling Duozhi did not try to persuade them to stay. He asked if he could arrange some manpower to protect them back to Shuozhou, but Guo Huaian and others refused. With the skills of Guo Huaian and others, it was obvious that if there was not too much danger, they would not be in great danger along the way.
I can still return to Shuozhou safely.
"Brother, take care. In the future, my two brothers will continue to fight side by side and kill the enemy hand in hand." Before leaving, Guo Huaian lightly punched Ling Tianyun on the chest. Ling Tianyun didn't feel a sore nose. He didn't know the parting at this time.
When will they meet again? Although Ling Tianyun and Guo Huaian have only known each other for two or three years, and although Guo Huaian used a false name to deceive him.
But he still believes that he will be proud to have such a brother. No matter what the future holds, he, Ling Tianyun, will always recognize this brother for the rest of his life.
Ling Tianyun watched the four figures of Guo Huaian leave. He did not move for a long time and stood tall in front of the general's mansion.
After this separation, Ling Tianyun and Guo Huaian embarked on different paths, and each of them will write their own bright and tragic chapter in this troubled world.
After Guo Huaian and the other four left, Ling Tianyun was in a very depressed mood. Seeing this, Ling Duozhi couldn't help but sullenly said: "He has his own way to go. How do you want to go in the future? Have you thought about it yourself?"
"My road is my own road." Ling Tianyun did not answer Ling Duozhi and kept whispering.
"You should find your own way," Ling Duozhi couldn't say anything at this time. His son decided to go out, and of course he had to find his own way. After saying this, Ling Duozhi took it from the bedroom.
He handed a book to him and said: "Although this sword technique is not a profound martial arts, it is a collection of the sword techniques that my father has learned throughout his life. My father gave you this "Eight Forms of Breaking the Army". This sword technique
It is extremely fierce and domineering, only attacking but not defending. It is a sword technique that can kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred. You should use it carefully. Of course, if your life is not in danger, my father will not recommend you to use it. The reason why I didn't teach it to you before is because you
It's not necessary. Now that you are out, your father can't help you. You have to walk the road on your own."
After Ling Duozhi finished speaking, he headed to the military camp, leaving Ling Tianyun in a daze.
An unknown wine shop next to Baishui City Market,
Ling Tianyun threw away all his worries and just wanted to drink the "Snow Pear Brewed" wine brewed by the proprietress of Wuming Liquor for the last time here. When he walked to the door of Wuming Liquor, he was stunned. The wine shop was still the same wine shop, and Duoer was still the same wine shop.
Duo'er, Duo'er was sitting in front of the door with her back to the door, in a daze. But the boss's wife was not the boss's wife anymore, she was actually the black lady.
But he saw that the black lady had changed into another set of clothes, wearing burlap clothes, covering her plump and hot figure.
"Why, I don't know you. If you want to drink, please come in," the black lady said warmly when she saw Ling Tianyun standing at the door.
Ling Tianyun was a little hesitant, he was not sure whether this wine was still the same wine as before.
"Don't worry, this wine is still the same wine as before, but what???????" Black Lady obviously saw the reason for Ling Tianyun's hesitation.
"But what?"
"I have poisoned this wine, do you dare to drink it?" Black Lady suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered softly. A refreshing feminine fragrance penetrated Ling Tianyun's nostrils, making his heart flutter and his ears flutter.
His face suddenly turned red when he was blown by the hot breath from the black lady's mouth.
He felt as if he had done something bad and did not dare to look at the black lady.
"Hehehehe", seeing Ling Tianyun showing such embarrassment, the black lady couldn't help but let out a string of chuckles. The laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell.
Ling Tianyun was speechless. He had only met Hei Niang three times in total. This time, Ling Tianyun did not expect that she would make such a joke. But at this time, Duo'er came out, still so shy and timid.
It was still pitiful. But Ling Tianyun clearly felt that there was another temperament lurking in Duo'er's body. What it was, he couldn't figure out for the moment.
"Brother Ling, you're here" Duo still spoke so softly.
There was no one in the wine shop, only Ling Tianyun was a customer. Sure enough, the "Snow Pear Brewed" was still the same, rich and mellow, but extremely spicy. After finishing the bowls of wine, Ling Tianyun temporarily forgot about everything and only enjoyed the "Snow Pear Brewed"
The pleasure "brew" brought him.
After a jar of "Snow Pear Brewing" was poured down, Ling Tianyun forgot all his worries, and the few traces of disappointment that had settled in his heart were swept away, and he couldn't help but feel extremely proud.
But they saw Duo'er holding her chin with both hands, sitting in front of Ling Tianyun, looking at him blankly, with tenderness like a pool of spring water in her eyes. Neither of them spoke, looking so quiet and peaceful.
The black lady was sitting at the door, lazily basking in the sun, but from time to time she looked at the boy and girl in the wine shop with interest.
"Duo'er, I??????".
"Brother Ling, I??????".
Suddenly, the two of them suddenly spoke in unison, as if they had a tacit understanding. However, they stopped speaking at the same time. They felt embarrassed and fell silent again.
Ling Tianyun looked at Duo'er. He didn't know how to speak, but he saw her head hanging down, her black hair casually falling from both sides of her bun, revealing her slender back neck, which was as white as suet.
"Duo'er, you go ahead and speak." He broke the silence.
She raised her head, her face flushed, her eyes as black as paint, blinking and blinking. Maybe the stars twinkling under the night sky were not as beautiful as her eyes at this time, Ling Tianyun thought.
.
She looked at him for a while and said, "Duo'er is leaving here tomorrow." After saying that, she looked at him with a look of hope. How she wished Ling Tianyun could ask her where she was going.
When Ling Tianyun heard that, he felt inexplicably disappointed. He couldn't think more about Duo'er's upcoming departure from Baishui City. After all, he was also planning to leave Baishui City and go to other worlds to find his own path.
For a long time, he had always treated her like the girl next door in his heart. Although he had not known her for a long time and was the first person of the opposite sex he knew, there was no such thing as any indifference between men and women.
He collected his thoughts and said, "Actually, I came here this time to say goodbye to you."
Duo'er felt her nose was sore and her heart felt like it was clogged. There were crystal tears in the corners of her eyes. It was obvious that he didn't care where she was going. Did he really not have her in his heart? She didn't feel like she was just thinking. In the spirit of her daughter's family
She was so reserved that she couldn't express anything. The more she thought about it, the more her heart was filled with panic, and she felt even more aggrieved.
"Duo'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Ling Tianyun couldn't help but asked when he saw the tears at the corners of her eyes.
It was okay if he didn't ask. When he asked, she could no longer control her tears. The tears were like a bursting river, rushing down. She could no longer restrain herself and started to cry.
Ling Tianyun was beside him, feeling at a loss for a while. He also had a headache and felt helpless about the situation. He quickly asked: "Who bullied Duo'er? Brother Ling will help you teach him a lesson."
She didn't respond and kept crying. She cried like pear blossoms and rain, which was heartbreaking.
"Don't cry, Duo'er. How about your brother Ling visiting you often from now on?" Ling Tianyun had no choice but to take out a handkerchief to help her wipe the tears on her cheeks, and could only say a casual word of comfort.
"Really" when she heard it, she raised her head and laughed through tears. It was like a branch of pear blossoms carrying the spring rain, and she was smiling even though she was crying. There were still two tear stains on her cheeks, which looked so funny yet cute.
This woman's face changed faster than the sky. Ling Tianyun was speechless for a while. He nodded and said, "It's true. I will definitely go visit Duo'er then."
Duo'er took out a sachet from her waist, handed it to him and said, "This sachet is for Brother Ling. I hope that Brother Ling will always wear it, just like Duo'er can accompany him."
He took the sachet and saw that it was made of five-color silk threads wrapped with colored silk. There was a golden phoenix embroidered on the sachet. There were two small characters "Ye Ming" under the golden phoenix. He held the sachet in the palm of his hand.
, soft and delicate, with waves of pleasant fragrance coming to your nose, making people relaxed and happy.
"My home is in the far north, Ye Ming Palace. Brother Ling wants to visit Duo'er often."
"The land of the far north, Ye Ming Palace", Ling Tianyun secretly remembered these words.
"Have they all gone back?" Black Lady suddenly asked Ling Tianyun who was walking out of the wine shop.
"Well, we've all gone back." He responded and walked towards the black lady, intending to say some polite words to her.
But when he saw the corners of the black lady's mouth raised, revealing a strange smile, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but feel frightened.
With a "swish" sound, he fled away from the black lady like a rabbit seeing a poisonous snake and beast. He felt that this time was the most perfect time for him to use Qinggong to escape.
Duo'er's shocked expression was left behind, along with the black lady's strings of laughter like silver bells.

In the evening, the sun, which has been traveling thousands of miles across the sky all day, gradually approaches the horizon. At this time, the setting sun is red and big, emitting dazzling light, and there is a red and orange sunset glow below the setting sun.
In the south city of Baishui City, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the evening. A young man in black galloped on his horse and quickly passed through the south gate of Baishui City.
After the young man rode the horse for several hundred feet, he reined in the horse's reins, causing the horse to neigh and stop. The young man looked back at Baishui City.
Suddenly, the young man made a "buzz" sound and pulled out the knife in his hand, pointing the tip of the knife far away to the south. The knife sent out a sharp cold light, and an invisible murderous aura shot up into the sky, shocking the sunset to pieces.
The setting sun suddenly hid in the broken clouds.
