Chapter 664 The sudden visitor disturbs the night
The night wind whipped the cold of the remnants of snow, the ghostly light fluttered in the twinkling starlight, and the beating bonfires made a burst of noise. The red fireworks, the billowing smoke, and the sporadic sparks flying were particularly dazzling in this cold night, but the three calm faces were full of different thoughts. The carriage surrounded by a campfire emitted an eerie aura that made people shudder.
"Brother Yang also looks up to our brothers too much, Yanzhou is the most prosperous state city in Yanyun Sixteen, and there are also many powerful family forces. And my brothers are weak, why does Brother Yang think that my brothers can escort you back to Yang's house in Yanzhou smoothly. Ling Tianyun's heart moved slightly, he had already guessed something in his heart, but he didn't expect Yang Huang to be so direct.
"The two young heroes knew at a glance that they were not mortals, nor were they ordinary martial arts practitioners like us. There is no way to do it below, if the two young heroes are inconvenient, they should not have said it in the next. Yang Huang's face showed a hint of bitterness, and he smiled helplessly and replied to Ling Tianyun. Obviously, he had already had the heart to make friends, and the real purpose of making friends should be to let Ling Tianyun and the others escort them back to Yanzhou.
"Brother Yang, does anyone in Yunzhou know about the black stone?" Ye Yinfeng on the side asked Yang Huang, he had always felt that the kind of thing called coal was weird, and the death of the head of the Yang family must be related to the kind of thing called coal. The emergence of such a thing may cause a lot of controversy. The book he saw when he was a child also introduced that this kind of thing called coal can emit an unimaginable heat when burned, and when the heat reaches a certain level, even the iron will melt away, and this kind of thing can be used in smelting iron tools to achieve unexpected results.
"This thing is relatively common in Yunzhou, and no one paid attention to it at first. Later, several young men dressed in unique ways came. Those young people should not be from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and they should be from Wu Yueguo's side in appearance. However, these people's martial arts are very powerful, one person and one sword, like a sword immortal. It seems that they came to Yunzhou for this thing, and as for what they are doing with this thing, it is unknown. Yang Huang thought for a moment and replied.
"Isn't it a white robe, each with a sword in his hand, and they are handsome and extraordinary." Ling Tianyun immediately thought of Yan Longxing, if it was someone from Wu Yue's side, then the only person who appeared in Yunzhou with the sword was the person from the Firmament Gate. And in this world, except for Yan Longxing, an unknown prophet, few people would pay attention to this ordinary black stone. It's just that a question rose in their hearts again, what does Yan Longxing want this thing for.
"It's this group of people, there are three or four people here, all of them are some young people with extraordinary bearings." Yang Huang nodded and replied affirmatively. "And these people look gentle and elegant, but they are actually all fierce, they have also killed a lot of people in Yunzhou, once someone comes into contact with this thing, they will kill people, and they also have something to do with the Khitan people in Yunzhou, but they don't know how many benefits they give to the Khitans." Then he added.
"Do the Khitans know about this thing?" Ling Tianyun's eyes swept away, and Xiang Yang Huang asked, if the Khitan people know the usefulness of this thing, then the strength of the Khitan people will definitely increase greatly, they are already haunted by the cold and bitter wasteland, this thing can just sweep away the cold and bitter breath. So for the Khitans, he is still more cautious, this thing seems to be ordinary, once they know the true use of this thing, then the Khitan people will definitely use this thing to create amazing weapons. At that time, not to mention the Central Plains, even the land of Shenzhou will be wantonly ravaged by the Khitans.
"One thing is certain, the Khitans don't know about this thing." Yang Huang replied in the same affirmative. Moreover, his eyes also showed a sense of relief and relief, because he knew that Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng had asked so much, and they did not refuse to agree to his request. He knew that the other party would agree to this matter 100%, and he knew that with the strength of their group of guards, there would still be some difficulties in returning to Yanzhou.
"How did the head of the family die?" Ling Tianyun finally asked the crucial question, he felt that the Firmament Gate had intervened in this matter, so it was not so simple to let go of anyone who knew about the black stone in Yunzhou. "We were killed on the spot by a mysterious masked man, who strangely didn't give us a hard shot, but let us go. However, on the way back to Yanzhou, we were ambushed again, and it was the same group of masked men, but the masked men were obviously not the masked men who assassinated the head of the family. Yang Huang replied directly without thinking about it.
"It wasn't the group of white-clothed swordsmen who assassinated the head of the Ling family, if it was them, they didn't need to be so mysterious, they could kill people generously. But the masked man will not kill you, and on your way back you will encounter another wave of masked men, and you will be ambushed. You know the identity of the wave of masked men who ambushed you. Ling Tianyun then asked Yang Huang while analyzing.
"If I knew, we wouldn't be so embarrassed, but the other wave of masked people is not very good at martial arts, and they are similar to us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have met the two of us. A trace of bitterness flashed across Yang Huang's face, and he replied to Ling Tianyun with a self-deprecating smile. Obviously, Yang Huang is the main group in this group, and the others are not involved in the conversation between them, and they are all taking care of their duties.
"In that case, the two of us agreed, but we will leave after sending you back to Yanzhou safely." Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng made eye contact for a while, and then agreed to the other party's request. Yang Huang was very happy about Ling Tianyun's promise, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Yang Huang, who didn't have any burden, began to open the chatterbox, and slowly said the customs and customs of Yanzhou to them.
Obviously, Yang Huang and the others were accustomed to eating and lodging in the wind, and the fat hare was quickly eaten by them, and after the big stone in Yang Huang's heart fell, he fell to the campfire and snored like thunder. He seemed to know that with only Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng by his side, everything was safe, and he even handed it all over to Ling Tianyun and the others, and he didn't even ask Ling Tianyun's opinion.
Ye Yinfeng looked around and found that the other guards were all lying around the campfire and snoring at different heights, and he couldn't help but feel that there was something strange about this. It is a bit far-fetched that this group of guards should trust them so much, and conclude that they are chivalrous people based on the mere fate. He looked at Ling Tianyun, and now Ling Tianyun's eyes were blazing, but his flickering gaze didn't know what he was thinking.
A cold wind blew, and it blew into the valley, so that the bonfire flickered incessantly, and almost went out. And after that cold wind, everything returned to normal, the dark night, the mottled shadows between the mountains and forests, and the remnants of snow reflected the light of the night. Ling Tianyun stretched out his hand and gestured in the air, and then he didn't move, but his gaze kept falling on the tightly wrapped carriage.
Ye Yinfeng knew what Ling Tianyun wrote, it was a "wait", and he also knew what they were waiting for. Therefore, Ye Yinfeng condensed the true qi of his whole body, and was also motionless. After a moment or two, the bonfire began to weaken, and soon the chill began to spread wantonly, the northern chill was dry and torn, making people feel that their whole body was going to be dried by the cold, even though the remnants of snow were still melting the water vapor, but it was quickly absorbed by the surrounding air.
A black shadow swept down from the top of the hill and landed beside the campfires, and the shadow did not look at the guards who had fallen asleep, and he went straight to the carriage. The two horses in front of the carriage couldn't help but spew white steam from their nostrils, and their eyes showed a hint of panic, and their hooves couldn't stop trampling on the snowy and muddy ground. If it weren't for the two horses tightly attached to the carriage, the two horses would have escaped.
Apparently the patrolling guards had not noticed the ghostly shadow, and they must have been exhausted, so they picked up some dry branches from the forest not far away, and added them to the bonfire, which was about to be extinguished, and the bonfire jumped and began to burn again. The guards seemed to be affected by the warm campfire, and their sabers-supported bodies slowly collapsed.
The black shadow didn't look at those ordinary guards, he didn't even glance at Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng who were sitting by the bonfire. He went straight to the carriage, and through the darkness of the night, the carriage was tightly wrapped in a black cloth that had to be lifted or torn apart if he wanted to find out what was in it. But the black shadow was not in a hurry to tear the black cloth, but circled around the carriage, and then stood behind the carriage. And his back was facing Ye Yinfeng and Ling Tianyun, and he didn't seem to care about their existence, or maybe he just regarded them as those ordinary guards.
In the cold night, the exchange of two rays of light finally attracted the attention of the black shadow, and as soon as the black shadow turned around, he saw Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng, who were still sitting calmly. "There are still people who haven't fallen asleep, but it's nothing, look at the two of you shouldn't be from the Yang family, you are not afraid when you see the deity, this courage is commendable, but there is no prize." The black shadow no longer looked at the tightly wrapped carriage, but slowly walked towards Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng.
It was a black-clothed masked man, his whole body was as black as this gloomy night, two sharp rays of light burst out of his eyes, and the man's voice was a little low, and there was nothing unique about it. Obviously, that person didn't take Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng seriously, he just regarded the two of them as ordinary teenagers. That's why he walked towards them so unscrupulously, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"I said this brother, aren't you afraid that they will wake up, we have a lot of people, aren't you afraid of being alone." Compared to Ye Yinfeng, Ling Tianyun was a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he pressed his treasure knife under his leg, and then said to the man in black with a surprised expression. For this unscrupulous man in black, he was also helpless and bored, he thought that a master would come, but who knew that it was a martial artist who had not even reached the innate realm. However, the strength of this man in black is not comparable to those Yang family guards, and those Yang family guards are still wandering in the outer strength realm at most, and they have not even stepped into the inner strength realm.
"Just them, these guards of the Yang family, little hairy boys, you don't count on them, the martial arts of three-legged cats like them are not worthy of lifting shoes for the deity. But you two little hairy children, how can you mix with the people of the Yang family, the people of the Yang family are not good. Have you been deceived by them, the people of the Yang family have done some unseemly things in Yanzhou, you two boys are still alive when they meet them, it is simply your family's ancestral tomb is smoking. The black-clothed eyed city's teasing was getting stronger and stronger, and he seemed to be interested in Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng.
Hearing the words of this man in black, Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng were slightly shocked, they didn't expect that this man in black would actually say something completely different from Yang Huang. This made them even more suspicious in their hearts, which of them was talking about panic, looking at this man in black, it seemed that there was no need to lie to them, but why did Yang Huang want to lie to them. All this seemed to begin to exude a strange aura, pouring out towards the hearts of Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng.
