Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh on the eve of the war
"Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of in war. Besides, even if we have to charge on the battlefield, it is not our turn. Our mission is to protect the safety of my eldest brother and prevent the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty from harming my eldest brother. The rest will be left to us.
Give it to the soldiers and officers, we should be still far away from the battlefield." Ling Tianyun leaned on the wooden post in front of the camp tent in boredom, with his head on the back, looking up at the night sky, and said quietly.
Ye Yinfeng's posture was also a little lazy, but all the situations around the camp were in his mind. He knew that Ling Tianyun looked extremely relaxed and leisurely on the surface, but in fact, just like him, he was watching this closely.
Everything around them, even if a certain imperial guard around the camp stretched unintentionally or farted, was clearly noticed by them.
"It's strange to say that the two of us are not from the Zhou Dynasty. Why do you think we are involved in the war between the Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty? Your father is also a famous general guarding the border in the Northern Han Dynasty.
, if you Northern Han people know that you are helping Dazhou, will it have any impact on your father?"
After hearing this, Ling Tianyun was silent for a while, and then he replied with a strange light in his eyes: "My father is a pure soldier, but he is not that kind of traditional military general. In his philosophy, that kind of
The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is far less important than the relationship between him and the people of Baishui Pass. If he was afraid that I would implicate him, he would not let me leave Baishui Pass to wander the world. In fact, I have been thinking about this matter.
I have offended the Zhong family of Jinyang to death. With the power of the Zhong family, it is indeed easy to kill my father. But I always have a feeling in my heart that my father is not an ordinary border general.
No one can harm my father."
"No one in the Northern Han Dynasty can harm your father, but it does not mean that no one wants to harm your father. As long as others have this idea and plan, your father's situation will be more dangerous. Don't forget, if the people of the Northern Han Dynasty find out that you appear in
In this battlefield, and for helping Dazhou, with your character of the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, how will your situation be?" Ye Yinfeng said to the other party worriedly.
"You don't have to worry. My father is not just a border general. Besides, the Ling family army under my father is not a vegetarian. If it is not the case, they will abandon Baishui Pass and rush into the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture.
Go in." Ling Tianyun said confidently, he was not worried about his father's situation at all.
"It is still necessary for the two of us to conceal our identities. In any case, you and I are not from the Zhou Dynasty." Ye Yinfeng suggested. For him, his identity is not important. Although he is from the Southern Tang Dynasty, he
He is alone in his family. Even if his identity is exposed, he will not be able to harm others. But Ling Tianyun is different. He still has a family and a father who works at Baishuiguan in the Northern Han Dynasty. If this matter spreads to the world, his family will be hit.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ling Tianyun spread his hands helplessly, expressing compromise. Of course he knew that the young man in front of him was doing it for his own good, and he also knew that this battle would be extremely dangerous, but in his heart he still
I have a premonition that my father, Ling Duozhi, should have known that this day would come long ago.
The night was lonely, and the candles were still brightly lit inside the camp. There was no sign of the generals of the Zhou Dynasty who were discussing in the camp. Several figures moving back and forth were reflected from the camp, but it was the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
The generals leading the Zhou Dynasty were discussing tomorrow's war. But Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng outside the camp were bored. They were chatting while paying close attention to the movements around them.
At this time, there was a noise. The two of them went towards the noise and saw several Zhou soldiers escorting a man in black towards the camp. The leader was Gao Chengde.
Wearing a bright armor, holding a thick saber in his hand, he was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and there was a high-spirited aura about him.
"Ouch, Lao Gao, he's been doing well recently and has become a top ten general. When will he be promoted to the capital general? I'll have to treat him to a drink then." Ling Tianyun saw the general uniform on Gao Chengde at a glance
, he did not expect that in just a few short days, Gao Chengde had been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a general.
Ever since the battle of Tianjing Pass, Ling Tianyun and Gao Chengde had similar sexual interests, and the two of them would go out to drink some wine from time to time when they were stationed in the military camp. In addition, they experienced life and death together in Tianjing Pass, so he, Ma Chenghui, and Gao Chengde both
People can't be more familiar with each other.
"Young Master Ling is joking. He is just a ten-general general. There is no way he can be promoted to a high rank, let alone be promoted to general general. Unlike you two, you have become the bodyguards of His Majesty's tent. You can see His Majesty every day.
I’m going to treat guests to drinks sometimes, so it’s only fair that you guys invite me.” Gao Chengde smiled naively, touched the helmet on his head and replied stupidly.
"Look at you like that, you are so happy that you don't even know who you are." Ling Tianyun saw the other party's stupid look and couldn't help but joked. Gao Chengde came over from the grief of losing his mother, and he also felt sorry for him
The other party was happy. To be honest, it was reasonable for Gao Chengde to be promoted to the top ten generals. After all, Gao Chengde was the hero who killed the Northern Han general Li Yanneng.
"Lao Gao, what's going on? Did you catch a spy?" Ye Yinfeng did not participate in their joke. His eyes fell on the man in black escorted by the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty. He
I felt that the man in black exuded a strong aura and was obviously a martial artist. However, the people escorting him were a few ordinary soldiers. This was obviously unreasonable. How could ordinary soldiers be the opponent of a martial artist?
"I almost forgot about the business." After hearing Ye Yinfeng's question, Gao Chengde straightened his face and continued: "Lao Ma led his brothers to discover this guy while patrolling outside the camp, and then arrested him for questioning.
This guy said he was some kind of messenger and wanted to bring a message to Mr. Ling. I don’t know exactly what it was. No matter how I interrogated him, this guy just refused to tell me. He said he wanted to see Mr. Ling.”
"Oh, there is such a thing. So you brought him here." Ling Tianyun's eyes fell on the man in black. He felt that there was some aura flowing around the man in black.
Familiar, his eyes settled on the face of the man in black, and then he knew the other person's identity.
"I've seen General Ling." When the man saw Ling Tianyun's eyes falling on him, he cupped his fists and said to Ling Tianyun. The man in black spoke with a bit of arrogance, and he was obviously worried about the soldiers who caught him.
He didn't take it seriously, and although his attitude towards Ling Tianyun was somewhat respectful, it was not the kind of respect in his heart. It seemed that someone made him do this.
"It's Zhong Jianhong who wants you to come see me. Tell me what message you have." Ling Tianyun had seen this person before at the Zhong Jiawu Dojo in Lanzhou. So he knew at a glance that it must be the young master of the Zhong family, Zhong Jianhong.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Apparently, his traces were discovered by the Zhong family.
"My young master asked me to bring a message to General Ling. There is a wild boar forest ten miles northwest. My young master is waiting there to welcome the young general." The man's expression did not change. It seemed that all this had nothing to do with him.
He is just a messenger delivering a message.
"Lao Gao, let him go." Upon hearing this, Ling Tianyun waved his hand and asked Gao Chengde to let the man in black go. He couldn't help but have an uneasy premonition in his heart, why did Zhong Jianhong ask him to meet. The two of them
When the two countries were at war, his meeting with Zhong Jianhong would obviously arouse unnecessary suspicion. Although he was the adopted brother of Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the military camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would inevitably fall into a war of words with suspicion.
Gao Chengde didn't hesitate at all about Ling Tianyun's order. He just opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. He took the man in black away with other soldiers, although several other soldiers
A trace of confusion and doubt flashed in the soldier's eyes, but he didn't explain a word.
Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng walked towards the outside of the camp in light clothes. They did not know that Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others were obviously sensitive to his identity. No matter how Chai Rong or Zhao Kuangyin protected him, he was after all
As a Northern Han man, there is no guarantee that other generals will be alienated from him.
Ling Tianyun's face was very heavy. He did not expect that Zhong Jianhong would give such a move. This was obviously a strategy arranged by Zhong Jianhong to let the warriors of the Zhong family come to him to meet him. This matter would definitely spread in the Zhou camp.
Although his situation will not be affected by that time, the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty and other generals who don't understand him will definitely doubt him, but he is unable to argue, and it is obvious that he has not officially entered the battlefield yet. He and Zhong Jianhong
The exchange between them began, and he obviously lost this contest.
"It seems that your identity has been exposed. The other party is forcing you to show up. It seems that the other party has made the first move. We can only show you the tricks. There is no need to go so far. The real battle will not begin until tomorrow. As long as you understand
After winning the contest, all the opponent's moves will be useless." Ye Yinfeng's eyes shone brightly, and he expressed Ling Tianyun's concerns in one word.
"It can only be like this. Zhong Jianhong's methods are indeed very clever. He put me at a disadvantage with just one move. I don't know what his next move will be tomorrow. When I was in Lanzhou, I found that this man was very deep.
, and he was very cunning and used me to hurt Zhong Huangyu."
As soon as the two chatted lightly, they came to a dense forest. The forest was as dark as horror, and there was a chilling chill coming from the forest. There was silence everywhere, and the dense forest was like a ferocious beast.
With its mouth wide open, it is waiting for prey to enter.
"Brother Zhong, Ling Tianyun has been ordered to come to the appointment. Please show up quickly." Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng did not enter the dense forest, but stood beside the dense forest. Ling Tianyun looked around for a while and then said:
He shouted loudly, he and Ye Yinfeng would not go into the dense forest stupidly, who knows how many masters the Zhong family would ambush in that dense forest.
"Ha, ha, ha, Brother Ling has always been a very bold person. How can a small forest scare Brother Ling?" A long laugh came from the forest, and then a man walked out of the forest.
, with a slender figure and sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, who could he be if he wasn't the young master of the Zhong family, Zhong Jianhong.
"I haven't seen you for several months, Brother Zhong is still as charming as ever. When you become the head of the Zhong family, don't forget this little brother's great contribution." Ling Tianyun raised his head and laughed, and couldn't help joking. He didn't
Knowing why Zhong Jianhong asked him to come to the appointment this time, he just talked nonsense.
"How can I compare to Brother Ling? In just a few short months, Brother Ling has already become a famous figure in the world, and he is even more famous in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Zhong can't help but feel jealous.
If Zhong could have such achievements as Brother Ling, how could he take the head of the Zhong family seriously?"
"Okay, Brother Zhong, we are so familiar with each other that there is no need to praise each other. I don't know why Brother Zhong asked me to come here. If I want my help, I will go through fire and water, and I will do whatever it takes."
Brother Zhong looks after the horse’s head.”
Ling Tianyun's nonsense made even Ye Yinfeng get goosebumps all over his body. People who don't know them would think that they must be the kind of close friends who share life and death, but in their mutual compliments,
