In the third year of Guangshun in the Great Zhou Dynasty, October 28th, Bingzi day,
On this day, Bianliang, the imperial capital, finally ushered in the long-lost winter sun. The morning sun, as red as blood, emitted a dazzling light from the east, sweeping away the haze over this ancient imperial capital. The clouds covered with clouds
The colorful sky was washed by the belated rising sun, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. The thick white fog shrouding the imperial capital was swept away by the red rising sun, and gradually dispersed.
Come. The imperial capital has finally regained its former majestic appearance, standing firmly in the hinterland of the Central Plains like a thousand-year-old beast.
This day is the penultimate day of the year, and after tomorrow, another new year begins. The entire imperial capital is filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and the big red lanterns hanging high can be seen everywhere.
Pedestrians wearing new clothes were shopping for New Year's goods. In the streets and alleys, people were crowded and crowded, and their faces showed a long-lost joy, whether it was their wish for the arrival of the New Year or their appearance in this long-lost winter.
.
When Da Liu arrived at the headquarters of the Flying Bird Camp carrying Lao Li, who had a stiff body on his back, the warm and red sun had already risen into the sky. And his figure was stretched long and narrow by the slanting sunlight. Behind him
His body was being illuminated by the dazzling red light. With the warmth of the morning sun under his feet, he kicked open the door of the courtyard. And in response to the bursts of shouts, the courtyard suddenly became
It was extremely quiet, as quiet as the sound of a pindrop. And the dozens of thick-set men's eyes instantly showed unkind glances, looking at Da Liu who was carrying a cold body on his back.
When Zhao Kuangyin reported the bad news, he was gesticulating with Ling Tianyun in the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion. The Panlong stick in his hand was made of unknown material, and its hardness was comparable to the Xingze sword in Ling Tianyun's hand. Two weapons.
When they collided, only a string of lightning and fire were emitted, and the two weapons suffered no damage at all.
Facing the rising morning sun and the lingering mist, they didn't know how many rounds they fought, but their moves were all in full swing. Shen Xiong's powerful wind swept the courtyard.
The dead branches nearby were swept up and down, and the snow that had not yet melted on the dead branches was shaken to the ground. The two agile figures carried extremely powerful movements, like towering and steady mountains, but still rooted in the ground.
Green pines in the deep soil.
The onlookers were the Four Meanings of the Yellow River and the amnesiac Dugu Aoxue, who was as pure as ice and jade. Their eyes also showed a strong fighting spirit, and they were eager to try and warm up their bodies last time. But when they saw those two
The silhouettes as agile as leopards and the powerful auras as powerful as overwhelming rivers and oceans all showed a bit of admiration in their eyes. Although the four disciples of the Yellow River were disciples of the Zhao family, they had extraordinary experience after all, especially the Yellow River
Yuan Shicheng, the boss of the four righteousnesses, had extremely sharp vision. He did not expect that it was not only Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts realm that was so powerful, but also the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Ling Tianyun's even more astonishing cultivation level.
When Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun arrived at the Feiqiao Camp headquarters, they were stunned when they saw dozens of strong men lying staggered in the courtyard, and a man in casual clothes was sitting coldly with a sword in his hand.
On the long wooden bench, the man had a cold aura on his face, his eyes flashed with intense electric light from time to time, and his thin face like a knife revealed a majestic temperament. The man saw Zhao Kuangyin entering the door.
, without blinking an eye.
With a sinking heart, Zhao Kuangyin saw Lao Li lying not far from the man. He was almost covered in blood, with only the dark face intact. Ling Tianyun's heart also trembled. He did not expect this strong man.
The dark-skinned man like a mountain had died of anger. He also had a good impression of this dark-skinned man, but he did not expect that after just a few meetings, something unexpected happened to him.
"Is there any clue?" Zhao Kuangyin walked straight to the man, with a slight anger on his face, and asked the man. Obviously, he knew the man and was very familiar with him.
There was no usual politeness or etiquette, just direct questions.
The man did not answer, but casually threw a long knife from behind him. The long knife "clanged" and fell at the feet of Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun's eyes narrowed slightly. This knife was different from an ordinary knife.
It was different. It had a slightly curved arc, and he also recognized the knife. It was a scimitar weapon commonly used by the Khitan people. Looking at the blood-stained scimitar, a feeling of incomparable indignation and sorrow suddenly filled the air.
In his chest, he felt an urge to scream and vent.
"Check it out yourself, I'm leaving." Da Liu looked at the dozens of strong men lying on the ground wailing with disdain, and just said to Zhao Kuangyin lightly. And he stood up from the long stool
He stood up, brushed his messy clothes, and without even looking at Zhao Kuangyin, he slowly walked out of the courtyard gate. Ling Tianyun felt that the man's steps were extremely heavy, and he took the formation step by step.
The sound that touched my heart echoed in the courtyard for a long time.
"He is Da Liu, a policeman in Kaifeng Mansion in Jingzhao, and he is also Lao Li's brother. He, Alai, and Lao Li used to be the best brothers. But for some reasons, he became a
I didn't expect him to have such a big prejudice against Feiqiao Camp, so he gave these members a harsh lesson as soon as they entered the door." Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed with a trace of incomparable disappointment, and he explained to Ling Tianyun.
road.
When Ling Tianyun heard Zhao Kuangyin's explanation, he felt that Da Liu was not an ordinary catcher. He felt the fluctuation of true energy from Da Liu's body. Although it was vague, he still felt it quickly. Da Liu was definitely
He is a master of martial arts. Judging from the tone of his conversation with Zhao Kuangyin, the other party does not like Zhao Kuangyin very much and is not afraid of him. There must be something secret between him and Zhao Kuangyin. Since Zhao Kuangyin didn't say it,
It was hard for him to ask anything.
After harshly confronting the Feiqiao members who were beaten to the ground, Zhao Kuangyin explained some of the funeral arrangements and left. Facing the rising winter sun, Ling Tianyun felt as if his heart was blocked, a man with both loyalty and righteousness was gone.
, and the Feique Camp will fall into disintegration. He can't figure out who is targeting Feique Camp at this time. He doesn't know what the real purpose of the person behind the scenes is, whether it is to target his second brother Zhao Kuangyin or
The eldest brother Chai Rong.
The white fog shrouding the imperial capital Bianliang was finally driven away by the rising winter sun, and the entire Bianliang city was filled with a fresh and warm atmosphere. The thick fog shrouding Bianliang City was driven away, but the shadow that enveloped Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyin
The fog in the hearts of Ling Tianyun and the two people is getting thicker and thicker. It started with Alai's disappearance, and now Lao Li's murder. It all seemed to be premeditated, but they had no idea about the planner, and they didn't even know about it.
They don't even know what the other party's next move will be.
"Control the dead and then live, destroy the rear and stand." Zhao Kuangyin's tiger eyes shot out a majestic light that was as majestic as the world. His eyes were directed towards the sunlight coming from the sky. In an instant, Ling Tianyun couldn't tell where.
It was the sunshine coming from the sky, and the ambitious gaze of his second brother Zhao Kuangyin.
"What should we do next?" Ling Tianyun couldn't help but ask Zhao Kuangyin. He didn't want those Khitan spies hiding in the imperial capital to go unpunished. He also had the blood of Han people in his body, and he had the same feelings for the foreign barbarians.
I hate it so much. Such weird things happen one after another. Although Ling Tianyun has no solution for the moment, he still hopes that his second brother can come up with a perfect plan.
"Let's go back home and talk about this in detail first. Alas!" Zhao Kuangyin felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but speed up his horse and gallop. Layers of flying dust rolled up on the road, which made Ling Tianyun's heart hurt.
. He couldn't help but pinch his legs and quickly chased after Zhao Kuangyin.
Returning to the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly found Ma Chenghui, who was languishing in the Zhao Mansion, and the four righteousnesses of the Yellow River were also there. At that moment, he told the whole story. Everyone present was speechless, and they also
They are all ordinary knights and knights, but they have never had any experience in handling cases.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at everyone and said to them: "I hope one of you will be responsible for this matter. My goal is too big and it will easily attract others' attention. And there is only one new face to investigate this matter. In that case, the target
It won’t be too big, so I have to help everyone.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but frowned more tightly, while Ling Tianyun had a calm look on his face. He knew that this matter was extremely difficult. The Four Yis of the Yellow River were just martial arts cultivators, but they were not good at handling cases, especially those involving Dazhou and Khitan.
The wars and disputes between them. Moreover, they only came to Zhao Mansion under the entrustment of a Qi Taoist priest. Since then, there has been no sign of their contribution. I believe that the Zhao family does not have the strength to allow them to fully help. Ma Chenghui just
He is just a bandit, he is stronger than ordinary mortals, but he will definitely lose against the ruthless enemy spies.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart. He knew that only Ling Tianyun could do this. He could find the real culprit and dig out the spies hidden in the imperial capital. But he originally wanted to introduce Ling Tianyun into Feiqiao Camp, but
This matter must have a good opportunity. If the real culprit can be found and the enemy spies hidden in the imperial capital can be captured, then Ling Tianyun will have made great contributions to the Fei Que Camp, and joining the Fei Que Camp will be a matter of course.
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin turn his attention to himself, Ling Tianyun stood up and said to everyone: "Second brother, find out the real culprit and find the Khitan spies. I am willing to do my best. I will repay Old Li and Feiqiao camp in the near future."
"
Seeing Ling Tianyun stand up, Zhao Kuangyin knew what Ling Tianyun was going to say. After listening to the other party's words, of course he still said it politely. Seeing that no one had any objection, he settled the matter, and Ma Chenghui also became
Ling Tianyun asked Ling Tianyun to be his assistant. Ling Tianyun also asked Zhao An, the servant of the Zhao family, to come over. After all, Zhao An was a living expert in the imperial capital. Many matters could be dealt with by Zhao An, which would also save him a lot of trouble.
Zhao Kuangyin did not refuse Ling Tianyun's request. He knew what Ling Tianyun was thinking. Zhao An was the best guide and a well-rounded person. He also knew the customs and customs of Bianliang very well. The most important thing was
It is Zhao An’s understanding of the geographical environment of Bianliang in Shuqiu.
"Brother Xian, I'm really sorry for you. The second brother can't get away during this period, and the palace has to pay close attention. It's been several days since the eldest brother entered the palace, and there is still no good news. The second brother is going to enter the palace in the next two days.
On the one hand, I can better inquire about the news about my eldest brother and the emperor, and on the other hand, I can also find out some clues from those ministers. But these days, my dear brother, please remember to be more careful in everything and do your best.
Although solving the case is a big matter, your family and life are more important. In addition, you can also go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Liu, I believe he hopes to solve the case as soon as possible and avenge Lao Li."
Zhao Kuangyin dismissed the Four Yellow River Bandits and left Ling Tianyun and Ma Chenghui behind. He solemnly said to Ling Tianyun. Then he gave Ma Chenghui these instructions. Although Ma Chenghui was just a bandit, he had already recognized Zhao Kuangyin as his master, so
He also didn't want anything to happen to Ma Chenghui.
Although Ma Chenghui knew that Zhao Kuangyin didn't pay much attention to him, he never had the chance to express his feelings, so he accepted the order to assist Ling Tianyun this time. Of course he hoped to make meritorious service in front of his master. His martial arts was low and he could only rely on his tenacity.
Only then will Zhao Kuangyin look at him differently, so no matter what, he must perform well this time and never let Zhao Kuangyin look down upon him again.
On this day, the sky was bright and clear in Bianliang, the imperial capital. Ling Tianyun was ordered to do something in danger, but his heart was filled with a thick haze.
