Located in Baishui City, there is a main street for Chang'an Street, Chang'an Street is the most prosperous street in Baishui City, and the center of the street is the most luxurious and only brothel in the whole Baishui City, called "Spring Garden". Although Baishui City is a small border city, its special geographical location is at the junction with the Khitan and is also a city with Khitan trade exchanges. The prosperity of Baishui City is no less than that of other cities in the Northern Han Kingdom.

At this time, it was getting late, the first lights on the streets of Chang'an were in full bloom, and big red lanterns were lit on both sides of the street. At this time, Chang'an Street was full of traffic, and people came and went. The rich and noble families of the whole city rushed to this street, and it seemed that there were more people coming and going tonight as before, and some strange figures appeared on the street, and those strange figures were dressed as people from the rivers and lakes.

Compared with the bustling and lively Chang'an Street, at this time, in a bungalow in the east of Baishui City, it seems extraordinarily quiet, and only a few dog barks can be heard occasionally. The area was pitch black, with only a few dim candles in some of the bungalows.

Ling Tianyun and Guo Jian sat in that bungalow, "Do you know that the third prince of Khitan, Yelu Zongheng?" Guo Jian asked in surprise when he saw the glint in Ling Tianyun's eyes.

"How do you know?" Ling Tianyun replied with a wry smile, but his thoughts flew to the encounter he had with a Khitan boy of his age two years ago.

That day was a scorching summer day, Ling Tianyun turned over the mountain peak directly north of Baishui City, and was about to go to the Khitan army, on the other side of the mountain was a green slope, several sturdy horses were galloping quickly, a young man on horseback was about fifteen or sixteen years old, the young man was dressed in a purple robe, riding a high-headed horse with a red date, the young man followed several fierce Khitan warriors.

Ling Tianyun was lying in the grass, and those Khitans were no more than a hundred feet away from him, which made him nervous for a while, and he couldn't help but hold his breath. The direction of those Khitans galloping was east, and it flashed in front of Ling Tianyun's eyes, and when they were about two hundred zhang away from Ling Tianyun, Ling Tianyun heard a rapid sound of eagle chirping, only to hear a long neighing sound of horses, and those Khitans restrained their horses.

Ling Tianyun suddenly felt uncomfortable, he knew that he had been discovered by Hai Dongqing in the sky, presumably those Khitans had also discovered him, he hurriedly got up, and his body jumped back a few times. At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him. Ling Tianyun's body rose and fell a few times, and he ran towards the mountain.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" A few arrow feathers slashed through the air and shot straight at Ling Tianyun, Ling Tianyun heard the sound of breaking the sky and wanted to dodge but it was too late, he suddenly turned around, drew his knife and volleyed a few slashes in the air, splitting those arrow feathers down, he felt that one of the arrow feathers was powerful, and the force of the shock from his knife almost shook his arm.

In this delay, the Khitan people had already chased him, the Khitan boy looked at Ling Tianyun coldly on the horse, holding the bow and arrow that was already on the string in his hand, and the other four Khitan warriors also aimed the arrow at Ling Tianyun, the young man put down the bow and arrow in his hand, looked down at Ling Tianyun and said: "Bold enough, Qu Qu is alone, and he dares to come alone to spy on my Khitan military situation." The young man spoke in Chinese, and the words were correct and round, and the Chinese was very standard, and it was really difficult to find a person in the Khitan Kingdom who could speak Chinese so standardly.

Ling Tianyun calmly looked at the Khitan people sitting on the horses, only to see the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a delicate face, the young man's pair of eyes revealed a domineering aura that dominated the world, and an invisible domineering aura arose in him, and saw that the young man was also carrying a spear, the spear was about eight feet long, wrapped in black cloth, and the head of the spear emitted a faint bloody aura exposed outside.

Ling Tianyun knew that he was afraid that it would be more auspicious at this time, and he thought about how to get out in his heart, he looked at the Khitan boy and said: "I am just passing by here, and I am just an ordinary person, why did Your Excellency insist that I am here to investigate your ** situation." At this time, he was not wearing a border army uniform.

The Khitan boy smiled with a hint of playfulness and said, "Then may I ask the son of the general of the border army in Baishuiguan Town, who is passing by here, why is he doing it." ”

Ling Tianyun's pupils shrank slightly, the other party obviously knew his identity, and who this Khitan boy was, obviously not an ordinary Khitan boy, it could be seen from his dress that he was by no means an ordinary person, especially his eyes revealed that faint domineering, at such a young age, how could there be that kind of sharp domineering that dominates the world.

"At this time, it is the beginning of the alliance between the two countries, I believe that Ling Gongzi is not here to break the alliance covenant, my Khitan country has made an alliance covenant with your country, then we can't be considered enemies, right?" The Khitan boy said to Ling Tianyun in a condescending tone, and the Khitan boy's condescending posture made Ling Tianyun feel very uncomfortable.

"That's nature." Ling Tian bowed his head and said. He found that at this time, the rest of the Khitan warriors on horseback had already put down the bows and arrows in their hands and kept urging the horses behind the Khitan boy.

"May I ask who Your Excellency is and why do you know Ling's name" Ling Tianyun raised his head and asked the Khitan boy.

"I can only tell you my name, Ling Gongzi remembers, my name is Yelu Zongheng, as for my identity, Ling Gongzi is not qualified to know now." The Khitan boy spat out a domineering name from his mouth, and when he said his name, his whole body exuded a transcendent arrogance.

Yelu Zongheng, such a domineering name, such an arrogant and domineering young man, Ling Tianyun secretly thought in his heart.

"May I ask Yelu Gongzi what else to advise, if not, Ling will leave," Ling Tianyun can only leave the place of right and wrong first, although at this time, there is no sign of Yelu Zongheng and the four Khitan warriors making a move, but the Khitan people's heart is unpredictable, and only leaving is the best policy.

After Ling Tianyun finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Slow, why should Ling Gongzi leave in a hurry, there is an alliance between this country and your country, does Ling Gongzi think that we will be unfavorable to you" Yelu Zongheng stopped Ling Tianyun and said slowly, although his tone was peaceful, there was still that kind of domineering that was convincing.

Ling Tianyun turned around and looked at Yelu Zongheng suspiciously, only to see Yelu Zongheng lift the reins, and the jujube red horse walked in front of Ling Tianyun, Yelu Zongheng turned over and got off the horse, standing in front of Ling Tianyun, Ling Tianyun immediately felt Yelu Zongheng's powerful aura rushing towards his face, Yelu Zongheng was slightly taller than Ling Tianyun, but his figure was obviously stronger than his body.

Ling Tianyun squinted his eyes slightly at Yelu Zongheng, who was about the same age as himself, and Yelu Zongheng was also looking at Ling Tianyun, only to see the young man of the same age as himself in front of Yelu Zongheng, with a resolute look on his face, although his face was not exquisite, but it was also angular, and a pair of starry eyes flashed with sharp light from time to time, but his face had not completely taken off his childishness, but it showed his vigorous and vigorous breath.

"May I ask what else is there to do?" Ling Tianyun said in a deep voice.

"I have heard that General Ling, the border guard of Lingzun, has the potential to sweep thousands of troops, and there is a husband who is invincible to ten thousand people, and I have admired Lingzun for a long time, but now you and I meet is a kind of fate, Ling Gongzi seems to be young but also courageous, and he should also get the true inheritance of Lingzun."

Sure enough, Ling Tianyun knew that it was impossible to leave easily at this time, Ling Tianyun found that the four Khitan warriors behind Yelu Zongheng did not dismount, they seemed to have deliberately tightened their nerves in their hands and put the arrows on the bow, ready to open the bow at any time, and seemed to be protecting Yelu Zongheng at all times. What is the identity of this Yelu Zongheng? These four Khitan warriors seemed to be very concerned about Yelu's safety.

"What about the son of Yelu?" Ling Tianyun had been guessing the identity of Na Yelu Zongheng in his heart.

"You and I meet here, in fact, it is also a kind of fate, why don't we have a competition, I admire Ling Zun's demeanor, but I can't ask Ling Zun for advice if I don't have the opportunity to meet, since we met, then I want to talk to Ling Gongzi about each other, point to the end, I don't know if Ling Gongzi can appreciate his face." Yelu Zongheng's tone seemed to be very polite, but the unquestionable domineering still existed.

"If you want to fight, just say it, why bother with your father and making so many detours, when did you Khitan people learn this hypocritical way, Ling will accompany you." Ling Tianyun only felt that Yelu Zongheng's rhetoric was too hypocritical, and Yelu Zongheng, who had just given Ling Tianyun a domineering feeling, had plummeted in his heart at this moment. For a long time, the Khitan people gave him the impression that he was strong and warlike, but his heart was straightforward. At this time, Yelu Zongheng gave him a sense of hypocrisy.

Yelu Zongheng heard Ling Tianyun's words, but his face did not show any expression, and after calmly he took out the spear and said to Ling Tianyun, "Since this is the case, then it is offended, please."

Ling Tianyun stood with his legs apart, drew his saber, and pointed it at Yelu Zongheng, but saw Yelu Zongheng holding the end of the spear with both hands, and with a slight shock, the cloth wrapped around the spear immediately cracked, revealing the dark and shiny spear

Yelu stabbed Ling Tianyun with both hands with a spear, and the spear flowers stabbed at the major points of Ling Tianyun's body. Ling Tianyun raised his sword and Yelu slashed vertically and horizontally, and for a moment the sword light and gun shadows were intertwined, only to see the two figures constantly intertwined, coming and going for several rounds.

Listening to only a few "clanging bells", the two figures suddenly separated, Ling Tianyun's breath was chaotic, and the tiger's mouth holding the knife was numb for a while, the internal force of Yelu Zongheng was obviously deeper than Ling Tianyun, and the offensive was even more aggressive, a domineering spirit that swept the world was invincible, and Ling Tianyun was a momentum as brave as a straight forward.

"Come again," Yelu shouted, and the shadow of the spear suddenly came densely and attacked Ling Tianyun, Ling Tianyun frowned slightly, and with a swing of the knife, layers of sword shadows rose in the air, resisting Yelu's shadow of the gun.

Yelu smiled weirdly, the head of the spear reflected a dazzling light, the dazzling and dazzling light shot directly into Ling Tianyun's eyes, Ling Tianyun only felt that a white light shot into his eyes in front of him, making his eyes involuntarily close slightly, and the vision in front of him became blurred for a while. As soon as a thought flashed through him, he immediately retreated, but unexpectedly, Yelu's spear had already stabbed like lightning.

Ling Tianyun only felt a cold breath locked on his throat, Ling Tianyun opened his eyes, only to see that the spear head with a faint bloody killing aura suddenly froze less than an inch in front of his throat, as long as Yelu gently sent the spear away, there would definitely be an extra blood hole in his throat.

Ling Tianyun calmly looked at Yelu Zongheng and said, "Using the reflection of the noon sun to catch Ling off guard is a clever way. Ling lost. ”

Yelu said with a smile: "No matter what method is used, it is a good way to win, even if you don't use this method, it is impossible for Ling Gongzi to win himself." Today, I learned Ling Gongzi's knife technique, and there will be a period later. After speaking, he jumped on the big jujube red horse and walked away with the other four Khitan warriors.

Ling Tianyun clenched his fists, looking at the departing Yelu and the others in a daze, his determined gaze shot out a battle intent like a raging flame, he was not discouraged by this, this defeat instead aroused the battle intent he had never had.
