Text Chapter 460 Chengguan is ambushed
Tianjing Pass is located in the southwest of Taihang Mountain, and it is Zezhou thirty or forty miles north of it.
What Ling Tianyun didn't expect was that he had neglected an important thing, that is, he had ignored this opening of the well, he thought that he had reached Zezhou after leaving Taihang Mountain, but what he didn't expect was that he had come to Tianjing Pass while he was hurrying at night. The endless Taihang Mountain is not something that can be walked out of the overnight gallop for an hour or two, and he only arrived at the central hinterland area of the Taihang Mountain.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly cry bitterly in his heart, he was in a hurry, but he still didn't get out of the realm of Taihang Mountain, but came to Tianjing Pass. Tianjing Pass is the fortress of the north-south clearance, and it is also the only path to the north of Taihang Mountain, if you want to reach Zezhou, you must send through this patio.
At this time, the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces had already taken Tianjing Pass, and blocked the road to the south of Zezhou, just to turn Zezhou into a lonely city and become lonely and helpless. For all this, Ling Tianyun didn't know anything, he and Ning Bugui rode horses and galloped, and they had already arrived at the gate of Tianjing Pass.
In the dead of night, the silence was common, and the patio occupied by the Northern Han coalition army was closed in a pitch-black silence, and the gate of the town at this time had already been closed. No one could open the gates, even if they shouted. Looking at the steep pass, as well as the heavily guarded armor of the city gate, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
To reach Zezhou, it seemed that they had to pass through this Tianjing Pass, and Ling Tianyun and Ning Bugui were holding thin horses and stopped not far from the passage of this pass.
In this dark night, the guards above the city did not see the faces of the comers, and did not reprimand.
The city gate could not be opened, but it was impossible to enter this dangerous city, which made Ling Tianyun extremely frustrated. He set his eyes on the indifferent Ning Bugui, and wanted to ask the other party what he could do. The moment his gaze fell on Ning Bugui's face, he found that Ning Bugui's eyes were extremely solemn, and a terrifying light that made people palpitate shot out of his eyes.
Along the way, he also knew Ning Bugui quite well, knowing that this ordinary man would not deliberately reveal his state of mind. At this time, Ning Bugui's face became extremely solemn, and even his face was filled with an indelible anger, obviously this killer whose martial cultivation realm was much higher than Ling Tianyun had already seen some clues above the city.
Following Ning Bugui's gaze, Ling Tianyun's heart was even more sparkling with anger, if it weren't for his sanity, he would have immediately pulled out the treasure knife in the sheath. At the same time, he also felt a strange aura circulating above the city, that strange bloody aura.
There was a dull breath in his chest, causing Ling Tianyun's chest to fluctuate for a while, his left hand tightly grasped the scabbard, and the five fingers of his right hand were tightly pinched in the palm of his hand. The nail of his right hand almost sank into his palm, and it was cut by the nail.
Suddenly there was a human head hanging above the city, and blood flowed down the man's head and neck, and under the closed eyes was a familiar face of his. That person was a brother in the Flying Bird Camp, and he was also the first member of Zhao Kuangyin to hand over the Flying Bird Camp to him.
Ye Yinfeng's misfortune has always been pressing on his heart, so that the resentment in his chest has nowhere to vent, and at this time, he saw the brothers in the Flying Sparrow Camp sacrificed here. This did not make him resentful, even the surging water of the Yellow River could not extinguish the anger in his heart.
Ling Tianyun clamped his legs and was about to rush under the city gate. And at this moment, a strong hand pulled him down. He turned his head to look, but it was Ning Bugui's calm eyes, at this time, Ning Bugui had already returned to normal, and he could no longer see any strange expressions on his face.
"Why?" Ling Tianyun asked hoarsely, he had already seen the anger in the killer's eyes, but he didn't understand why the other party was stopping his move.
"Don't be reckless, Tianjing Pass must have been taken by the Northern Han Coalition Army, they did this to demonstrate to the Great Zhou, and secondly, to lead you to appear, so that they can catch it all." Ning Bugui explained lightly, and he motioned for Ling Tianyun to calm down, so as not to do something impulsive.
"Is it true that the brothers of the Camp of the Sparrows died in vain, and their blood was shed in vain? As their commander, I could only watch my brother's head hanging high and be treated in the most inhumane way. If this is the case, what qualifications do I have to be their commander, and how can I be at peace in my heart Ling Tianyun. I, Ling Tianyun, have already lost a brother, but I still want to let his corpse die unharmed, so I can't do it. ”
Ling Tianyun's eyes glowed a little red, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he roared in a low and hoarse manner. He had tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and the deep voice could only be heard by the two of them, but the secluded ancient road in front of the city seemed to be even more terrifying.
They were still a few feet away from the city, and the guards above the city could not see their faces in the thick of the night, nor did they have any suspicion. There was no movement above the gates, as if their arrival was just a trivial event.
"Don't you think it's too quiet above the city, and the guards above the walls don't even say a word, don't you think it's strange? Presumably they were waiting for us to come forward, and someone was watching all this, and if we appeared under the gates, we would be greeted by a stormy attack. Ning Bugui quietly analyzed.
"No, I must take that head off, or I will feel uneasy." Ling Tianyun suddenly raised his head, a decisive light shot out of his eyes, and he said categorically.
"If you insist on taking risks, I won't stop you, but don't expect me to help either. After all, I'm still here with a mission, and I hope you can understand. Ning Bugui knew that he couldn't dissuade him, so he could only say helplessly.
Ling Tianyun didn't pay attention to these at all, it didn't matter to him that he would rather return to help than help himself. In his eyes, he only has the human head hanging high above the city, and he must find a way to take it down, so that he can be worthy of his brother, worthy of the Flying Bird Camp, worthy of Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong.
He gently turned over and dismounted, although the injuries on his whole body had recovered seventy or eighty percent, but the sword qi remaining in his body had not been completely cleared, and there would still be some faint pain in his body from time to time. It was completely ignored by him, and he knew that he could do it even if he was crawling on the ground now.
He didn't draw the sword in his hand, but threw his body into the dark night as much as possible, and he slowly closed towards the gate of the city.
He pressed his body tightly against the shadow of the tree beside the official road, and with each step he carefully looked around, until he found nothing unusual, and then went to the next place. And Ning No. 1 led the other lean horse back away, and the sound of the horse's hooves was particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Although Ning Bugui took a stand, doing so was tantamount to helping Ling Tianyun, so that the guards above the city would think that they had already left. The horse's hooves, which were not hurried but loud, slowly faded away, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Ling Tianyun leaned over and gradually leaned towards the city wall, he was getting closer and closer to the city. The tighter the sword in his hand, the more calm the atmosphere seems, but in fact, the more hidden murderous it is. Faintly, Ling Tianyun felt that there were several awe-inspiring auras hidden in the shadows, and he could only slow down his steps, slowly looking for the places where those awe-inspiring auras were hiding.
It would be nice if Ye Yinfeng was here, his exquisite exercises could easily find the whereabouts of his opponent, but Ye Yinfeng was also fierce and unlucky at this time, which made him feel a sense of confusion in his heart. Forcibly discarding the troubled thoughts in his heart, his eyes were like wisps of essence, and the true qi in his whole body was even more running.
He made it to the city wall, which was only a foot or two away from the gate, and he pressed his body against the wall as much as he could. His dark clothes melted into the dark night, and there was not even a shadow at all, and he slowly moved towards the city gate.
There was silence all around, and he hid under the corner of the city wall, looking up at the bloodstained human head, and he couldn't help but feel an unconcealable burning feeling in his heart. On the city wall, a burst of orderly footsteps came, it was the sound of the guards walking back and forth, listening to the footsteps, they were all calm and powerful, this Northern Han army defending the city must not be an ordinary army.
The tall human head was also four zhang high from the ground, and Ling Tianyun couldn't reach that height when he jumped with his internal strength. This caused him to feel a little frustrated, and he could only jump to a height of four feet at most, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to pick the head with his head out.
"Pap, papa", drops of blood fell from the sky, and landed right in front of Ling Tianyun's eyes, under the city gate, there was a thick blood stain on the ground, and it also exuded a billowing pungent bloody aura. Ling Tianyun's heart twisted, as if the blood that fell down was flowing from his body.
Ling Tianyun was thinking about how to take off the head, and as he looked around from time to time, he calculated the height he could reach. But he didn't come up with any good ideas, holding the treasure knife in his hand tightly, his brows furrowed.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the Xingze Treasure Knife in his hand broke iron like cutting mud, and he thought of the beauty of this treasure knife.
He looked around vigilantly, it was pitch black all around, the head of the Tianjing Pass was shrouded in an inky night, there was still nothing unusual around, and there was still a steady and powerful footstep on the city wall. Although he felt the awe-inspiring aura hidden in the shadows, he still didn't hesitate.
Ling Tianyun's body bent slightly, his legs rubbed the ground, and he roared towards the city gate like an arrow that went straight to the sky. And after the breath in his chest cavity was exhausted, the height he had risen had reached the limit. But seeing that he was in danger, he quickly drew his sword and plunged it into the city wall before his body fell.
With a muffled sound, the treasure knife had been deeply inserted into the city wall, and he used the treasure knife as a fulcrum, and once again took advantage of the momentum to inhale, and his body rushed upwards again.
Drawing out the treasure knife casually, Ling Tianyun's body had already reached his predetermined height. Ling Tianyun, who was in the air, put the treasure knife into its sheath, and after all these movements, the human head with more than blood dripping was within reach of his hand. An unconcealable excitement spread through his chest.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the human head, but at that moment the vision suddenly appeared,
With a "hiss", a sharp sound of breaking the air was particularly piercing in the night, and that sharp sound of breaking the air shot towards Ling Tianyun in the air with a roaring momentum. An awe-inspiring aura permeated the shrill sound, an iron arrow that melted into the night.
