Chapter XVII: The Border Pass Rises and Surges IV
At this time, the crowd of onlookers was stunned, they didn't expect that this was an ordinary battle, but it turned into a killing game to kill Ling Tianyun, and everyone hadn't reacted yet. Ling Tianyun strode and stepped on the knife that slashed horizontally at his legs, and the Khitan quickly reacted and immediately drew the knife and retreated.
But he didn't dodge the big punch that hit him in the back, and with a "bang", the big fist of the Khitan people behind Ling Tianyun hit his back hard, like a huge hammer hit, a tearing and sharp breath came from his back, Ling Tianyun was like a lightning strike, his brain was blank, his face suddenly turned pale, and a stinging blood stain flowed out of his mouth. The pain of the tear began to spread from his back.
Seeing this, Duo'er was shocked, her eyes widened angrily, and a cold and majestic aura came out of her whole body, and she was about to step forward, but she was pressed on her sharpened shoulder by a slender jade hand behind her. Duo'er turned her head to look, only to see the nameless wine shop's proprietress her own mother standing behind her, her right hand pressed on her shoulder, Duo'er's eyes showed a puzzled look, the proprietress pursed her mouth, gave her a stable look, and shook her head gently at Duo'er.
Ling Tianyun staggered, the chaotic aura flowed wantonly in his body, his back was successfully attacked by the Khitan people and seemed to be unstable on his feet, and he could fall to the ground at any time, the other two Khitan people with knives saw this, stopped attacking Ling Tianyun, and stood not far from Ling Tianyun, looking at him coldly. The three Khitans formed a triangle and surrounded Ling Tianyun in the center.
Seeing that after Ling Tianyun was hit hard, the three Khitans didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, they wanted to wait for something, Ling Tianyun's thoughts also began to flicker, from the time he saw Hai Dongqing, to the time he entered the wine shop, and then stepped forward to rescue Duo'er's aggression, to the duel with this Khitan, it seemed that everything had a thread that dominated all this. The uneasiness in Ling Tianyun's heart became even stronger, he didn't know if all this was aimed at him or his father Ling Duozhi.
What made Ling Tianyun feel even more strange was that he had already been seriously injured, from the position where he landed after he was lifted and thrown out by the Khitan who was the first to fight with him, this was a game, a killing game that would definitely kill him, from his own way of facing the enemy, his own internal strength to his own light cultivation, it was all so accurate. Although he has dealt with the Khitans for several years, the other party does not know much about these. Ling Tianyun's heart froze, could it be that he didn't dare to think about all this anymore ???????,, if his guess was confirmed, it would be a conspiracy against the head of White Water City and Ling Tianyun's father and son.
At this time, the sunset had finished setting, and a few blood-colored sunsets dotted the blue sky, and a solemn and desolate picture came into being. The crowd of onlookers on the street in front of the nameless liquor store held their breath and watched all this quietly.
At this moment, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and after a while, several horses quickly came to the street in front of the nameless wine shop, and jumped off their horses a few people dressed in the clothes of government officials. One of the officials drew his saber and pointed his knife at the three Khitans and shouted, "Arrest these three Khitan spies." Immediately, three officials stepped forward and put their knives on the necks of the three Khitans, so that they could not resist. The rest of the officials took out ropes and stepped forward to tie up the three Khitans. But these three Khitans did not resist, did not make a sound, and did not have any panicked expressions, allowing those officials to be bound. After a while, the three Khitans were all tied, and the three servants stood behind them with swords.
The official who commanded with a knife walked up to Ling Tianyun and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I waited a step too late and frightened Ling Gongzi,"
Ling Tianyun knew that the official was the chief arrester of the Baishui City Mansion, his surname was He, Ling Tianyun had nothing to do with him, he only knew that this person was strong in martial arts, and he was definitely not an ordinary chief arrester of the mansion.
Ling Tianyun also clenched his fists and replied, "Junior Brother hereby thanks Brother He and all the brothers for their rescue. ”
Then Mr. He smiled slightly, and said: "Ling Gongzi is polite, I still couldn't arrive in time, so that Gongzi was injured, I am deeply sorry, seeing that Ling Gongzi is not in danger of life, I can rest assured." He asked again: "How is Ling Gongzi's injury, and is it serious?" ”
"It's okay, it's just some flesh and skin injuries, it's not a big deal." Ling Tianyun replied with a wave of his hand.
"Since Gongzi Ling is fine, I will leave later, business is important, and I hope Gongzi will forgive me." Then Mr. He finished catching and was about to get on the horse.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
At this time, three sharp voices broke through the air and roared, only to see three black iron arrows emit a faint light towards the throats of the three Khitans, and in an instant, the three iron arrows were sharply and accurately submerged into the throats of the three Khitans, and the blood splashed on the tail feathers of the three arrows, dazzling and weird. The three Khitans had puzzled and unwilling eyes in their eyes, and they fell to the ground with a muffled snort. For this sudden change, everyone did not react.
In this regard, Ling Tianyun didn't expect that it was originally a killing game for himself, but at this time, it seemed that it was obviously not, when he first started to get injured, the three Khitans obviously didn't start again, obviously that the game was to seriously injure himself. And at this moment, the three Khitans were killed by three iron arrows that suddenly came. Bu injured himself in a game, and then he had to kill the three Khitans again, Ling Tianyun pondered in his heart. In the end, who wants to set up this game, and what is its purpose? Ling Tianyun was also at a loss in his heart.
Mr. He and the officials were also stunned, especially the officials standing behind the three Khitans, who broke out in a cold sweat, as if they were on the verge of life and death. He Zongzhu stabilized his mind first, he walked to the side of the three Khitans who fell to the ground, and investigated the snorts of the three Khitans respectively, and found that the three Khitans had died and were not breathing.
Ling Tianyun looked around, at this time, the onlookers were very quiet, it seemed that they had not yet reacted from this sudden change, there were no too tall buildings around, where did the arrows come from, there would be relatively tall buildings around at least a hundred zhang away, such a distance, and such accurate archery skills, there was hardly a single person Ling Tianyun knew, at least not in this White Water City. Ling Tianyun's gaze turned back to the crowd of onlookers, his gaze turned around the crowd, and he also found anything suspicious.
When Ling Tianyun's gaze returned to the three Khitans again, looking at the blood-spattered arrow feathers, his pupils shrank slightly. The three arrows gave him a familiar feeling, and he walked over to the corpse of a Khitan and crouched down to take a closer look at the iron arrow that had sunk into his throat. The Khitan corpse lay flat with his head tilted to one side, and arrows pierced through the back of his neck, stained with blood.
At this time, Mr. He stood beside Ling Tianyun and asked, "Young Master Ling, have you found anything?" ”
Ling Tianyun carefully re-observed the iron arrow from the arrow to the tail feather several times, and he did not answer Mr. He's words. At this time, he knew why the three arrow feathers were so familiar, because those three arrow feathers were arrows from the army guarding the border pass of Baishui Pass, and they came to the barracks. Could it be that ??????,Ling Tianyun's uneasiness surged into Ling Tianyun's heart again.
Ling Tianyun stood up and asked Mr. He, "Brother He, how do you know that something happened here, and listening to Brother He's tone, you seem to know that it is the junior brother who is in crisis here. ”
"Didn't Ling Gongzi call your colleagues to report to the government?" Mr. He said in surprise.
Ling Tianyun was stunned when he heard He Zongzhuo's words, he was the only one here, and he didn't meet any soldiers in the border army guarding the city, a flash of thought came to his mind, what kind of situation was this, faintly he felt that all this conspiracy was really directed at the border army guarding the city and his father Ling Duozhi.
Ling Tianyun squatted down again and tore open the placket of the Khitan people's clothes, and took out a small fold from the corpse's arms, the Khitan people's customs clearance document, there are Chinese characters and Khitan characters on the customs clearance document, and it is the Khitan people's identity document inside, "Yelu Boqing, the fourth brother of the Khitan general Yelutuo, and the commander of the Khitan country's Yelutuo's subordinates." Ling Tianyun looked at the text and whispered.
