Ling Tianyun and Zhong Jianhong spent the whole morning walking in circles on the edge of the wide square. They talked a lot of nonsense from time to time and looked at the hundreds of burly men with rogue looks. They practiced all morning.
Although the two of them had their own thoughts, they talked happily and burst into laughter from time to time. To outsiders, it was not the first time that these two met, they were like good friends who had known each other for a long time.
In that high turret, there was a table, a few exquisite side dishes, a few bottles of fine wine, and two young men chatting happily. Everything was so harmonious and beautiful.
When men drink and talk happily with each other, of course, there is inevitably a kind of scholarly spirit, which is like scolding the Fang chief.
Zhong Jianhong didn't seem to be very good at drinking. He held up his glass of wine with his bloodshot eyes open, constantly trying to persuade Ling Tianyun to drink. It looked like he might be drunk, and he was quite drunk.
"Others envy me for being born into a wealthy family, but little do they know that I am actually more envious of people like Brother Ling." Zhong Jianhong said in a depressed mood with the smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth.
"Oh, why did Brother Zhong say this? I'm just a small scout under my father's tent. How can I make Brother Zhong envious of me?"
This amount of wine is nothing to Ling Tianyun. Even if he drinks a whole jar of this wine, it cannot compare to the "Pear Blossom Snow Brew" from an unknown wine shop in Baishui City. Although this so-called fine wine is mellow, it has no alcoholic strength.
, it tastes like drinking boiled water.
"Well, although I am the son of a noble family, I was born in a noble family when there were people who could not help themselves. How can I be like Brother Ling, who is very free even though he is in the military camp. Besides, there is no war now, so your father will not tighten the control on Brother Ling.
I can ride a horse at any time and travel across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains at any time, what a beautiful thing it is."
Zhong Jianhong's eyes showed a look of ardent yearning, and he spoke without any scruples.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhong is serious. I also have unspeakable difficulties. Everyone has his own difficulties. Why mess up your mood because of the rules and regulations of this family. There is wine today and you will be drunk tomorrow. Come, come, have another sip."
Ling Tianyun's heart sank. Of course he knew that Zhong Jianhong was here to test his identity, but he must not let others know that he went to pay his respects to his grandfather. The world only knew that his mother had passed away long ago, and few people knew about his grandfather.
Everything at home. And he has never visited his grandfather's family since his mother passed away. This is not because he doesn't want to go, but because his father Ling Duo did it specifically. He can probably guess what it means.
Previous point.
Zhong Jianhong's slightly narrowed eyes flashed. When he saw Ling Tianyun pause for a moment, he pretended not to care. He took the filled wine glass from the other person's hand and drank it down in one breath.
"I once had a rare opportunity to go out and met a strange man. He was dressed in white clothes and white boots, and was spotless. He was also an excellent handsome man. This man was probably about the same age as me, and he might be
A little older by a year or two."
Zhong Jianhong suddenly mentioned the past events to Ling Tianyun, and also met a strange person. Such a handsome young man, dressed in white clothes and white boots, with a spotless appearance, immediately aroused Ling Tianyun's interest.
"Oh," Ling Tianyun became curious and stopped drinking, waiting for Zhong Jianhong to continue.
"The first thing that makes me curious is the young master's appearance. He has a face that is even more beautiful than a peerless beauty. Not to mention men, even women will become extremely jealous when they see his appearance. At first, I thought he was
A beautiful woman disguised herself as a man. Only later did she discover the Adam's apple under his jaw and was convinced that he was a man."
"Since there is a man with such an appearance in the world, I don't believe it."
"Brother Ling, don't really believe it. In ancient times, there was Song Yu, and Pan An had a face as beautiful as jade. If you really compare with that young master, those two ancients might have been a bit weaker." Zhong Jianhong thought about that time.
plot, he defended.
"Oh, there is such a beautiful man in the world, who is this man?" Ling Tianyun was also shocked and couldn't help but ask again.
"This man has a mysterious origin. He said he came from the future. At that time, I didn't understand where the future was. He didn't explain it. He said he knew the future, the past, and what would happen in the future. How can I believe it? Later, he
I made a bet with you, saying that in the first month of next year, Emperor Guo Wei of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be seriously ill and die, and he said that it would be in the first month of the year. Of course I don’t believe it. It is said that the Great Zhou Emperor was in his period of physical strength, how could he fall ill so easily?
I was ill. So I got into an argument with him, and then I made this bet."
Zhong Jianhong shook his head, as if trying to recall the scene.
"Then what bet did you make later?" Ling Tianyun asked again. He thought this was a strange bet. He wanted to know what the chips were. What would the winner gain, and what would the loser lose?
.
"He didn't say, he just said that he would come to me again no matter whether he won or lost."
Zhong Jianhong only said this. It should be said that this was the only bet between them.
A peerless handsome man, a young man who claims to be from the future, and a bet on what will happen in the future. It all sounds so incredible, but it all happened to Zhong Jianhong.
Ling Tianyun lowered his head and pondered. He was also curious about what the purpose of all this was and whether there was any conspiracy. Why did Zhong Jianhong tell him all this? He vaguely felt that the other party had some important parts that he had not said. Since
If he refuses to say anything, then he won't be able to ask any more questions.
Ling Tianyun planned to ask more questions, but found that the young master of the Zhong family was already lying on the table, snoring slightly. He didn't know whether he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep, but this man had to keep his posture even while lying on the table.
Such an elegant posture. But looking at him, he didn't have any defenses. If Ling Tianyun launched a sneak attack at this time, he would be able to subdue him easily.
It's not that Ling Tianyun didn't have such thoughts. He knew that the Zhong family was determined to harm him at this moment, but he still didn't do it. Although he didn't bother to do so, he said to the Zhong family leader who pretended to completely believe in him.
He still felt a pang in his heart when the young master did such a despicable thing. But this was not the most important thing. The main thing was that he still did not dare to take the risk. Maybe Zhong Jianhong did this just to lure him into a trap, so that the Zhong family would
I can deal with myself in a legitimate manner.
He looked at Zhong Jianhong, who kept an elegant posture even when sleeping on his stomach, stood up without saying a word, and walked to the window sill of the turret.
Below, in the vast expanse of white, you can see the entire martial arts field.
The wide martial arts arena was already deserted, and hundreds of naked men had long since disappeared without a trace. The muddy water stains on the ground and the orderly footprints seemed to prove that this group of people once existed.
The hundreds of big men who were being trained were completely gone at this moment, and there were only four or five houses in the martial arts center. Could it be that these people only appeared in the martial arts center early in the morning? Where would they go at other times? These doubts flashed
It came into his mind.
But now is not the time to think about this. Thinking about how to save one's own life is the best way. He looked down carefully. There were not many people moving in Ruoda's martial arts gym at this time. But he still found that
There are some strange buildings everywhere in this martial arts dojo, which ordinary people cannot see at all. But for Ling Tianyun, who was a scout, the existence of these hidden sentries cannot escape his eyes.
The figures wandering around in this martial arts dojo are the sentinels of this martial arts dojo. They seem chaotic and disorderly, but in fact they coincide with the arrangement of so many sentry posts. It is not an ordinary arrangement of ten steps and one sentry.
As the figure moves around, the field of view will continue to change. The fields of view between people are constantly intersecting, allowing for a more comprehensive monitoring of the entire martial arts field. Even the open sentinels are arranged seamlessly, and those hidden sentries in the dark are
Not to mention.
Ling Tianyun finally understood why Zhong Jianhong would bring him into this small turret. The martial arts field below could be seen so clearly from this turret, and the entire martial arts field could be seen at a glance. Even a bird flew in.
This can be clearly seen in martial arts, let alone humans.
But he was in such a heavily guarded martial arts gym. If he wanted to escape, it would be harder than climbing to the sky. The potential message Zhong Jianhong left for himself was that he could help him escape from this martial arts gym. All this time
I thought that this was not an ordinary martial arts gym, and even if it was a martial arts gym opened by the Zhong family, I didn't take it seriously. At this moment, it seemed that it was obviously not that simple, and the unknown girl
How to steal that important thing from this martial arts gym. Now it will be another question. Ling Tianyun can't help but feel that one head is bigger than the other.
"Brother Ling, what are you thinking about? I lost my composure and made Brother Ling laugh."
At this moment, a voice came from behind Ling Tianyun. He turned around and found that Zhong Jianhong had woken up.
After Zhong Jianhong asked, he didn't wait for Ling Tianyun to answer. He just smoothed the messy hair in front of his forehead and straightened his clothes that were wrinkled from lying on his stomach. The Zhong family man who looked a little embarrassed just now, for a moment
He suddenly regained his handsome and handsome demeanor, and his clothes and hair were neatly arranged without any messiness.
"Brother Zhong, aren't you tired like this?" Ling Tianyun touched his nose and asked the other party strangely.
"Oh, this is the miserable situation of being in a noble family. You have to maintain your image every moment. I feel tired too, but this has become a habit. I am very happy to have a drink with Brother Ling today.
"
Zhong Jianhong replied helplessly, with a hint of melancholy in his tone, but he quickly recovered.
Ling Tianyun looked at the other party. He didn't know whether to pity the other party or to flatter him. It was not easy to live like this. Thinking about it, he had always acted willfully, and his father would never control these small details.
, thus forming the free and easy temperament now.
At this time, a sound of footsteps gradually sounded from the bottom of the building, and soon a warrior came up. The warrior bowed and said to Zhong Jianhong: "Master, there is a young man carrying a spear outside the gate asking to see you, saying that he is sending a greeting card.
Now that the great elder is not in the dojo, I leave it to the young master to make the final decision."
When Zhong Jianhong heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on his face. Then he said to the warrior: "You lead the man to the reception room first. I will be there in a moment."
The warrior responded and retreated.
"Brother Ling, could you be interested in going with me to meet that young man? This is the first time I've heard of him."
Ling Tianyun also became interested in this young man carrying a spear, because he also thought of another person, that is, the third Khitan prince Yelu Zongheng, and he vaguely felt that this visiting young man might be closely related to Yelu Zongheng.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong. Since Zhong Jianhong brought it up, it doesn't hurt to go see him. Anyway, your life is in the hands of others now, so why not have fun with the eldest young master of the Zhong family.
The two of them walked down from the turret, passed through the spacious martial arts field, and came to the building where Brother Zhong Tong had brought him. Zhong Jianhong arranged for a warrior to take away Ling Tianyun's package and sword.
These don't matter to Ling Tianyun.
They walked into the living room, and what came into their eyes was a young man standing in the hall.
I saw that the young man was carrying a spear that was taller than him. The shaft of the spear was wrapped in linen, and only the black tip of the spear was exposed, giving off a faint luster.
The young man's upright body stood like a pine tree in the hall. He had a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, and under the sword-shaped eyebrows that slanted into his temples, his star-like eyes bloomed with dazzling light.
There is a tightly pursed mouth under the high bridge of the nose. There is still a trace of childishness on the angular cheeks. It is obvious that he is not too young, he should be between fourteen and sixteen years old.
