Chapter Seventy-Six: A Spear and a Boy
Ling Tianyun and Zhong Jianhong went around in circles on the edge of this wide square all morning, and the two talked a lot of nonsense from time to time, and watched the big men with the top of the hundred or so ** in every way practice for a morning.
Although the two had their own thoughts, they also talked happily with each other, and from time to time burst into bursts of laughter. In the eyes of outsiders, where did these two meet for the first time, they were like friends who have known each other for a long time.
In that high corner tower, a table, a few delicate dishes, a few pots of fine wine, two young men talking happily, everything was so harmonious and beautiful.
Drinking and chatting between men and men, of course, is inevitably a kind of scholarly anger and scolding Chief Fang.
Zhong Jianhong didn't seem to be very good at drinking, he held the wine in his arms and opened his bloodshot eyes, and he couldn't help persuading Ling Tianyun to drink. It looks like he may be drunk, and not lightly drunk.
"Others envy me for being born in a wealthy family, but who knows that I actually envy people like Brother Ling even more." Zhong Jianhong spit out the smell of wine in his mouth and said in a low mood.
"Oh, why did Brother Zhong say this, he is just a little scout under his father's account, and how can he make Brother Zhong envious."
This bit of wine was nothing to Ling Tianyun, even if he drank a whole jar of this kind of wine, it couldn't compare to the "Pear Blossom Snow Brew" in the nameless wine shop in Baishui City. Although this so-called fine wine is mellow but has no strength, it tastes like drinking plain water.
"Alas, although he is said to be the son of a family, he was born in a family and had a time when he couldn't help himself, where is he like Brother Ling, although he is in the military camp, he is very free. Moreover, there is no war now, and Ling Zun will not tighten his control over Brother Ling. You can also ride a horse at any time, and you can walk all over the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains at any time, which is such a beautiful thing. ”
Zhong Jianhong's eyes showed a fiery yearning look, and he spoke without any scruples.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhong is serious, and there are unspeakable hardships below, each with its own difficulties, why bother messing up for the rules and regulations of this family. There is wine today and drunk today, come and come, and take another sip. ”
Ling Tianyun's heart sank, of course he knew that this Zhong Jianhong was here to probe his tone, but he couldn't let others know about going to pay his grandfather's birthday. The world only knows that its mother died early, and few people know everything about their grandfather's family. And he hasn't visited his grandfather's family since his mother died, it's not that he doesn't want to go, but his father Ling Duo is special, and he can probably guess a little bit what it means.
Zhong Jianhong's slightly narrowed eyes flashed, and when he saw Ling Tianyun pause for half a moment, he pretended not to care. took the full wine glass in the other party's hand and poured it down in one go.
"I once had a rare opportunity to go out and meet a strange person. The man was dressed in white clothes and white boots, and he was clean from top to bottom, and he was also a wonderful handsome boy. This person is about the same age as me, maybe a year or two older. ”
Zhong Jianhong suddenly mentioned the past to Ling Tianyun, and he also met a strange person, such a handsome boy dressed in white clothes and white boots, and he was spotless all over his body, which immediately aroused Ling Tianyun's interest.
"Oh," Ling Tianyun was curious, stopped drinking, and waited for Zhong Jianhong to continue.
"The first thing that makes me curious is the appearance of the son, a face that is more beautiful than a peerless beauty, not to mention a man, even a woman will be extremely jealous when she sees his appearance. At first, I thought he was a peerless beauty dressed as a man, but later I found out that he was a man with the Adam's apple under his chin. ”
"Since there is a man with such a face in the world, I don't believe it."
"Brother Ling, don't really believe it, there was Song Yu in ancient times, and Pan An's face was like a crown of jade. If it was really compared to that son, maybe the two ancients would be a little weaker. Zhong Jianhong thought about the plot at that time and argued.
"Oh, there is such a beautiful man in the world, who is this person?" Ling Tianyun was also shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but ask again.
"This man came from a mysterious background, he said that he came from the future, and at that time he didn't know where the future was. He didn't explain, he said he knew what was going to happen in the future, what was going to happen. Where can he believe it, and later he made a bet with Zaixia, saying that in the first month of next year, the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei will be seriously ill and die, and he also said that it will be the first month. Of course I don't believe it, it is said that the Great Zhou Emperor was in a period of strength, how could he be so easy to get sick. So they got into an argument with him, and only later did they make this bet. ”
Zhong Jianhong shook his head, as if he was trying to recall the scene.
"And what bet did you make later?" Ling Tianyun asked again, he felt that this was a strange gamble, and he wanted to know what the chips were in this gamble. What the winning side gains, and what the losing side loses.
"He didn't say it, he just said that he would come back to me whether he won or lost."
Zhong Jianhong only said this, it should be said that this is the only gamble between them.
A peerless beautiful man, a teenager who claims to be from the future, a gamble on what will happen in the future. All this sounds so incredible, but all this happened to Zhong Jianhong alive. Ling Tianyun lowered his head and pondered, he was also very curious, what was the purpose of all this, could there be any conspiracy that could not be achieved. Why did Zhong Jianhong tell himself all this, he vaguely felt that there was something important that the other party had not said. Since he refused to say, it was difficult for him to ask anything more.
Ling Tianyun was about to ask some more, but found that the young master of the Zhong family was already lying on the table, making a slight snoring sound. I don't know if he is really asleep or pretending to be asleep, this person just has to maintain an elegant posture even when lying on the table. But looking at him like this, he didn't have any defenses, if Ling Tianyun had a sneak attack at this time, he would have been able to subdue him easily.
Ling Tianyun didn't have such thoughts, he knew that the people of the Zhong family were determined to harm themselves at the moment, but he still didn't do it. Although he disdained to do this, he still had a pimple in his heart about what the eldest young master of the Zhong family who put on a look of complete belief in himself had done like this. But this is not the most important thing, the main thing is that he still doesn't dare to take this risk, maybe Zhong Jianhong is doing this to lure himself into the trap, so that the Zhong family can deal with himself in a righteous way.
He looked at Zhong Jianhong, who had to pose elegantly even when he was sleeping on his stomach, stood up without saying a word, and walked to the windowsill of this corner tower.
Below, in the vast white expanse, the total martial arts dojo is in full view.
The wide martial arts arena has long been empty, and the hundreds of ** men with upper bodies have long disappeared without a trace. The muddy water stains on the ground and the neat and orderly footprints seemed to prove that this group of people once existed. The hundreds of trained men were completely devoid at this moment, and there were only four or five houses in the total martial arts dojo, could it be that this group of people just appeared in this martial arts dojo early in the morning. Where would the rest of the time go, these doubts flooded into his mind in a flash.
But now is not the time to think about this, and how to save your life is the way to go. He looked down carefully, and there were not many figures moving in the large martial arts hall at this time. But he still found that there were some strange buildings everywhere in this martial arts dojo, and ordinary people couldn't see them at all. But as a scout-born Ling Tianyun, the existence of these secret sentinels could not escape his eyes at all.
And the figures wandering in this martial arts dojo are the bright whistles of this martial arts dojo, which seem to be chaotic, but in fact, they are in line with the arrangement of so many sentinels. It's not an ordinary arrangement of ten steps and a whistle, and as the figure moves, the field of vision will constantly change. The continuous intersection of the vision between people can more comprehensively monitor the total martial arts dojo. Even the sentinels were arranged seamlessly, not to mention the ones in the shadows.
Ling Tianyun finally understood why Zhong Jianhong would take himself into this not spacious corner tower. The martial arts dojo below can be seen so clearly in this corner tower, and you can have a clear view of the total martial arts dojo. Even a bird flying into this martial arts path will be clearly visible, let alone a person.
And he was in such a heavily guarded martial arts arena, if he wanted to escape, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky. The potential message that Zhong Jianhong left for himself was that he could help him escape from this martial arts dojo. I always thought that this was not an ordinary martial arts dojo, and even if it was a martial arts dojo opened by the Zhong family, I didn't take it seriously. At this moment, it seems that it is obviously not so simple, and how did the unknown girl steal that important thing from this martial arts dojo. At this time, it would be another question, and Ling Tianyun couldn't help but feel that one head and two were bigger.
"Brother Ling, what are you thinking, you are losing your temper and making Brother Ling laugh."
At this moment, a voice came from behind Ling Tianyun, and he turned around to find that Zhong Jianhong had woken up.
Zhong Jianhong didn't wait for Ling Tianyun to answer after asking, he only straightened out the messy hair on his forehead, and also straightened his clothes that were crumpled from lying on his stomach. The Zhong family, who was still a little embarrassed just now, regained his demeanor as a beautiful son in a moment, and his clothes and hair were also meticulously arranged by him, and there was no longer any messy appearance.
"Brother Zhong, you're not tired like this." Ling Tianyun touched his nose and asked the other party strangely.
"Alas, this is the miserable situation of the family, and you have to maintain your image at all times. I'm tired too, but it's become a habit. I was very happy to have a drink with Brother Ling today. ”
Zhong Jianhong replied helplessly, with a faint 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 flatter the other party, it was not easy to live like this. Thinking about it, I have always acted recklessly, and my father has never been disciplined in these subsections, so he has formed the free and easy character he is now.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps gradually sounded from the bottom of the building, and in a short time a samurai came up. The warrior bowed down to Zhong Jianhong and said, "Young man, there is a young man with a spear outside the gate who asks to see him, saying that he is sending a prayer post. Now the Great Elder is not in the dojo, so please let the son decide. ”
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 parlor first, and I will be there in a moment." ”
The warrior answered and retreated.
"Brother Ling can be interested in going with Zai Xia to meet that young man, and Zai Xia has heard of it for the first time."
Ling Tianyun was also less interested in this spear-carrying man, because he also thought of another person, that is, Yelu Zongheng, the third prince of the Khitan, and he faintly felt that this visiting young man might have a great relationship with Na Yelu Zongheng.
Anyway, there is nothing wrong, since Zhong Jianhong mentioned it, it doesn't hurt to go and see it. Anyway, now that my life is in the hands of others, why not have a good time with this young master of the Zhong family.
The two of them walked down from the corner tower, passed through the wide martial arts arena, and came to the building where the Zhong Tong brothers had taken him. Zhong Jianhong arranged for a warrior to take away Ling Tianyun's package and sword, and these didn't matter to Ling Tianyun.
They walked into the living room, and saw a young man standing in the middle of it.
I saw that the young man was carrying a spear that was taller than him, and the barrel of the spear was wrapped in linen, and only the black head of the spear was exposed and gave a faint sheen.
The young man's sleek body stood like a pine in the hall. A handsome face with sharp and angular faces, star-like eyes blooming with dazzling light under the sword eyebrows that fly obliquely into the sideburns, and a tightly pursed mouth under the high bridge of the nose. There was still a hint of childishness on those angular cheeks, which was obviously not very old, between fourteen and sixteen years old.
