In the distance, several figures stood quietly, wearing all the same color of power suits, and they blended their figures into the gloomy night. If Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng saw these figures, they would definitely recognize them, those figures were from the Zhong family in Jinyang, and they were the elite martial artists of the Zhong family. They just quietly looked at the few roaring bonfires, there was no expression on their faces, one of them was different from the others, this person was just an ordinary scribe's uniform, this person had an ordinary handsome face, if Ling Tianyun saw it, he would definitely know that this person's appearance was the same as that of Zhong Jianhong, but the aura circulating on this person's body was completely different from the aura on Zhong Jianhong's body.
"Second son, Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng, those two boys are under that mountain, are we going to kill them?" A warrior in a power suit asked the young scribe. As this martial artist asked, several other martial artists shot a cold gaze in their eyes, for Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng, they had heard too much from the family, and they also knew what the purpose of following these two people was this time, but they couldn't act rashly, they could only obey the orders of the seemingly weak young scribe.
"What's the hurry, the old master didn't really want the lives of these two people. It's never too late to wait until they find what we're looking for. In addition to us, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them in this dark place, I am afraid that the incident in Shuozhou has already made the Khitan Emperor furious, and I believe that the Khitan people will want their lives even more. All we have to do is wait and see what happens, and maybe help those two in due course. The young scribe's eyes shot an unfathomable gaze as he replied to the martial artist beside him.
"What, you still want me to help them. The old family master is really true, no matter how Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng are the mortal enemies of our Zhong family. If you want us to help them, the subordinates really can't do it, and the subordinates didn't take advantage of this time to kill them, and the second son actually wants us to help them deal with other people. When the martial artist heard this, a flash of anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted at the young scribe.
"You know what, you're really simple-minded and have developed limbs. There are no absolute enemies in this world, and there are no absolute friends, if it weren't for the fact that the Ling family held the secret of Huang Gong's treasure, do you think this son would not want to kill them. It's just that everything should be considered more, if they are killed by the Khitans, won't the purpose of our trip this time be in vain, whether it is important for major events or personal grievances, you should be clear. When the young scribe heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he explained patiently.
Although those martial artists were all rough people, it didn't mean that they weren't smart, and after they heard the young scribe's words, the unwillingness on their faces began to fade. Only then did they remember their true purpose of tracking behind Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng, and the Zhong family was obviously even more imperative on the Ling family's secret, so they did not hesitate to secretly remove some obstacles for the two teenagers.
"Second son, why didn't the eldest son come in person, he is the next head of the family who was personally ordered by the old master. It's just that we are unhappy with the second communiqué, and often when we encounter difficult things, we will send the second son to do it, and those things that are comfortable and easy will go out on his own. We have been with the second son for so long, but there are still prejudices against the second son in the family, we have no credit and hard work in the Zhong family, just because of that illusory identity, the status of the second son in the Zhong family is far lower than that of the eldest son. ”
"Presumptuous, how can you wait for your subordinates to discuss, if there is a next time my son hears you say such a rebellious word, the family law will not tolerate it. As a subordinate, you should have the responsibilities of a subordinate, and you should remember that only the eldest son of the Zhong family has this qualification to inherit the position of the head of the family, and he must not talk nonsense. The weak young scribe's face was slightly cold, and his body suddenly revealed a domineering momentum like life and death, if he was regarded as a weak young scribe, then I am afraid that he would die a miserable death.
As soon as the martial artists heard the young scribe's terrifying and domineering words, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they knew that the young scribe in front of them should be really angry. Don't look at the second son's usual inconspicuousness, but if he is really angry, they can't keep even ten heads. Although they were angry with the son in front of them, they could still distinguish between the inferior and the inferior. Of course, this was not the first time that the young scribe had been angry with them, and the consequences of his anger made them feel a chill chill in their backs when they thought about it.
There was a murderous aura circulating in the weak young man's body, and he looked up, but his heart was turbulent. Once upon a time, he was also a young man with high spirits, but reality is reality, and he can only become the shadow of that person. Even if he is unwilling to do anything, he can complete difficult tasks such as murder and spying alone. And that person sat in the position of the head of the family unharmed and smoothly, his name is Zhong Jianying, a second son who can only be someone else's shadow.
Who doesn't have a bitter past in his heart, Zhong Jianying's heart is the same, the Zhong family is a big family in Jinyang, and it is the first martial arts family in the Northern Han Dynasty, and he is just the illegitimate son of a servant girl, it's as simple as that. He has the same father and half mother as Zhong Jianhong, and it is precisely because Zhong Jianhong's father abandoned him that he lost his qualification to compete for the head of the family forever, and became a middle-aged man who could only do nothing in the Zhong family. His father was beaten from heaven to hell because of a momentary mistake, and even martial arts were wasted.
However, his father left two amazing sons to the Zhong family, one was Zhong Jianhong, and the other was him. He knew that he would never be able to become the person in power of the Zhong family with such an identity, so he chose to become the shadow of Zhong Jianhong, just like his name, he became the shadow of the person in power of the Zhong family, and became a killer assassin who cleared all obstacles for the head of the family, so that Zhong Jianhong successfully became the head of the Zhong family.
"Second son, someone is approaching, it seems to be a group of cavalry, it should be the cavalry of the Khitans." A Zhong family martial artist reported to Zhong Jianying, his body bent very low, and he almost didn't dare to look at the young man with a murderous aura flowing all over his body. And he also sighed in his heart, the second prince in front of him talked about martial arts talent and recognized the realm of martial arts, which point was not as good as the eldest prince, but he could only be hidden by the Zhong family and do something unseemly. They have followed the second son for many years, and they have long known the second son's heart and the bitterness they carry, but as subordinates of the Zhong family, they can only secretly hold grievances for the second son.
"The Khitan cavalry found them so quickly, let's hide it, dozens of Khitan cavalry should not be able to defeat them. Let's just look in the dark and don't expose it. Zhong Jianying's heart froze, he didn't expect that the words of the martial artist just now would make him feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and the unwillingness in his heart was like a surging river, rising and falling in his heart. He remembered what he had said to Ling Tianyun, he still admired Ling Tianyun incomparably, if there was a young man in this world who could be comparable to Zhong Jianhong, then Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng were the two of them.
The night was covered with a thick layer of slaughter, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder disturbed the quiet night dome. Dozens of war horses came towards Ling Tianyun's place with a chilling killing intent, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves startled the Yang family guards who were surrounding the bonfire. Their faces were filled with panic, because they had never encountered such a formation, dozens of Khitan wolves rode horses and galloped wildly, each Khitan cavalry held a blazing torch high, through the flickering flames, reflecting their bloodthirsty and hideous faces.
Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng were extremely calm, and dozens of Khitan cavalry had not yet been taken into account by them. They roasted the scorching bonfire calmly, and they were also slightly surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect that the speed of the Khitan cavalry was quite fast, and they actually chased after them at night. The wolf-like Khitan cavalry, like a gust of wind, quickly approached the bottom of the mountain, and their speed slowed down.
As soon as Yang Huang saw the dozens of Khitan cavalrymen with scimitars flowing with a fierce aura on their bodies, his face couldn't help but change slightly, he gave Ling Tianyun and the others a stable look, and then quickly stood up and walked towards the dozens of Khitan cavalrymen. In such a late night, dozens of Khitan cavalry ran wild all night, obviously something big must have happened, but he still didn't think that the source of that big thing was the two teenagers he met by chance.
"A few military masters, the grass people are from the Yang family in Yanzhou, I don't know what happened to the few military masters galloping late at night?" Yang Huang cautiously raised a smile and said to the Khitan cavalry who were galloping on horseback. And with his appearance, several other Yang family guards stood behind Yang Huang with a look of trepidation. There was confusion and panic in their eyes, and they didn't know why this group of Khitan cavalry who rushed forward chose the place where they were staying.
The two Khitan cavalrymen led by them did not reply immediately, they looked past the people of the Yang family and fell on the two young men who were sitting calmly by the bonfire. "The people of the Yang family, get farther away, and we are doing office work." Chaoyang Huang, a high-spirited Khitan cavalryman, said, and did not give them any good looks because they were from the Yang family in Yanzhou, and as soon as the Khitan cavalryman's words fell, the other Khitan cavalry pulled out the cold scimitar from his waist.
"What is the misunderstanding in this, a few military masters, the grass people are really from the Yanzhou Yang family, and all the people here are from the Yanzhou Yang family." Yang Huang saw that the group of Khitan cavalry drew their scimitars, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said to the other party again. At this time, he didn't expect that this group of Khitan cavalry was here for Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng. He only felt that there must be some misunderstanding in this, and although the Yang family had no status in the eyes of the Khitan people, the forging skills of the Yang family were still valued by the Khitan royal family.
"Bastard, the military plane must be secret, you don't get out of the way, otherwise we will kill you on the spot on the charge of rebellion." One of the Khitan cavalrymen shouted loudly. They had already recognized Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng, but they only knew that Ye Yinfeng and Ling Tianyun had assassinated the Shuozhou officials, and they chased after them at night, so they could catch up with these two here. Of course, they didn't know about the murder of the Khitan prince, and the Khitan royal family didn't make a big deal about it, but just sent groups of elite wolf horsemen to jointly arrest the garrisons of Yanyun Prefecture.
Yang Huang's heart sank, he turned to look at Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by his companion. Dozens of fierce Khitan wolf riders, with their few seven or eight people, where is their opponent, but he didn't expect that this group of Khitan cavalry was going for these two teenagers. After making eye contact with his companions for a while, he reluctantly turned sideways and made way of the way. And his heart also rose to a hundred tastes, he didn't expect these two teenagers to provoke the Khitan wolf rider.
Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng saw all this in their eyes, they knew that Yang Huang had done his best, and fighting against this group of Khitan cavalry with their strength was like hitting a stone with an egg. Obviously, Yang Huang still tried to protect them, but the intention of this group of Khitan cavalry was obvious, just to capture them. The two glanced at each other, a faint smile appeared on their faces, and then slowly stood up and walked leisurely towards the group of Khitan cavalry.
