As one of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Shuozhou, of course, is also a big city, there are two main streets in Shuozhou City, one is from north to south, and the other is from east to west, all the small streets and alleys are connected to these two main streets. Of course, these two main streets are mainly military planning, and if there is no war, these two streets are the most prosperous streets in Shuozhou City. All the streets of Shuozhou are straight and straight lines running through, unlike the winding streets of Jiangnan City, where several streets and alleys divide the total Shuozhou City into several small squares.

Located in a small street in the east of the city, there is a small shop specializing in selling fabrics, which can be said to be a time-honored store in Shuozhou City. After the Khitan took over the sixteen states of Yanyun, although they began to burn, kill, and plunder, the longer they ruled, the more they knew the importance of their commerce, so most of the shops in Shuozhou City were still retained, and they were not cleaned and destroyed by the Khitans.

Lao Sun is the shopkeeper of this cloth shop, according to his words, his grandfather's grandfather has run this shop, and he doesn't know how many generations have been in his hands. Lao Sun also experienced the murderous behavior of the Khitans, when all the goods in the store were robbed, it was still twenty years ago, with the Khitan Kingdom's emphasis on commerce, Shuozhou City also issued some policies to promote commerce, so Lao Sun also reopened his own shop.

There was also a squeaking sound of pedestrians stepping on the snow from the store, and a heavy snow made Shuozhou City extremely cold, and Lao Sun was leisurely roasting the stove and guarding the store alone. Because of the heavy snow overnight, Lao Sun told all the guys in the store to go back, and no one should come to buy cloth in this bitterly cold weather. The courtyard of Lao Sun's house is behind this shop, and many people's shops are located next to the street, and then behind the shop are their own courtyard houses.

Looking at the cloth in the shop, Lao Sun's heart couldn't help but feel calm, only when he saw the dazzling array of fabrics in this shop, his heart would feel more steady. Although it has been suppressed by the Khitans in those years, this shop has also begun to recover, maybe in a few years, he can sell a bigger shop, and then he can hire a few more guys, and he will be much easier.

Thinking about the beautiful things in my heart, the old grandson is baking this warm stove, what is more comfortable than this kind of life. Thinking about the little girl in his family who has not yet come out of the cabinet, and a boy who has not yet reached the weak crown, both children and daughters, life is like this, there are children and daughters and a shop, there is nothing happier than one. In this barren and barren Shuozhou, it is good to be able to mix to this point.

Of course, if there was a pot of fine wine, that life should be better, Lao Sun couldn't help but imagine in his heart, the heating emitted by the warm stove filled this not very large shop, making this shop a warm atmosphere. And usually in this warm atmosphere, Lao Sun will also can't help a burst of sleepy insects upwell, anyway, there is no business in this ghost weather, he decided to close the shop temporarily, so that he can sleep happily.

Just as he got up to close the door of the store, he saw a young man in a dark robe pushing the door through the door with a wind and snow chill. Since there was a customer in this shop, it was difficult for Lao Sun to close the store, he looked at this young man who was about the same age as his own kid, and he only felt that a pure yang breath poured out of the young man's body in the cold wind. No wonder this young man is just dressed in a dark robe, and he is not afraid of the cold in such a cold weather.

The young man didn't expect Lao Sun to go straight to the door of the store, he looked at Lao Sun, and stepped directly into the store without saying a word. Lao Sun politely asked the young man: "May I ask this guest officer, what do you need, this store is a time-honored cloth shop in Shuozhou City, Jiangnan Silk Northwest Linen, everything." โ€

Ling Tianyun took a look at this shop, although this shop was small, all the fabrics were complete, and the Jiangnan silk and coarse linen cloth was also dazzling. It's just that he didn't come to this shop to buy cloth. He knew that Guo Huai'an's Guiyi Army had some dark spots in this Shuozhou City, and this cloth shop was a dark spot. He came to Shuozhou, of course he was looking for Guo Huai'an. At present, he is being followed by many people in the rivers and lakes, and in addition to relying on Guo Huai'an's power in Shuozhou, he also wants to meet this old friend who has known him for many years in Baishuiguan.

"The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever. Return to the world and expel the barbarians. Ling Tianyun didn't directly answer the words of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, but said a code word. That was the code word that Guo Huai'an taught him, once he came to Shuozhou, he could use this code word to find some dark spots of the Guiyi Army, and he could get relevant help.

As soon as he heard this secret word, Lao Sun's heart suddenly shook, and a blazing light suddenly shot out from his cloudy eyes, shooting towards Ling Tianyun. "Dare to ask where this young man is from and what help is needed?" Lao Sun's face was solemn, and he arched his hand towards Ling Tianyun and said, at this time, where is he still the shopkeeper of the lazy ordinary shop, and at this time, there is also a breath of rivers and lakes flowing on his body.

"The boy's surname is Ling, Baishuiguan. The kid wants to find you Guo Shao, and I hope that the shopkeeper will be successful. Ling Tianyun obviously felt the change in the aura of the cloth shop shopkeeper in front of him, and he said to the other party politely. Unexpectedly, this ordinary small shop also hides such a powerful character, but it really responds to that sentence: hidden in the city. Since this cloth shop can boast of being a time-honored store, the shopkeeper of this cloth shop also has some advantages.

"It turned out to be General Ling Shao, who has admired his name for a long time, and often heard Guo Shao mention the prestige of General Ling Shao. It's just a pity that General Ling's generation of famous generals has encountered such misfortune, and it is sad. As soon as the shopkeeper heard that Ling Tianyun had reported his home, a trace of respect welled up from the bottom of his heart on his face, not only because of Ling Tianyun's heroic actions at a young age, but also because he regretted Ling Duo's unfortunate death.

"I'm ashamed, the shopkeeper has to torture the boy. The matter of his father has passed, and his old man seeks benevolence and righteousness, which can be regarded as worthy of heaven and earth, and it is okay not to mention it. Ling Tianyun's face turned grim and saluted the other party. Then, Lao Sun really closed the door of the shop and led Ling Tianyun towards the backyard.

After Ye Yinfeng and Nangong Xianchen reprimanded the Shuozhou City gentleman, they found an inn. Since the Khitan ruled Shuozhou, this Shuozhou city has also become a border city, in addition to the local Han and Khitan people, there are often business travelers in this Shuozhou city, and there are often some people in the rivers and lakes, so there are many inns in this Shuozhou city, perhaps it is the reason why there are more people of all ethnic groups in this trade exchange, so that this Shuozhou is also mixed.

They found a relatively ordinary inn, the inn is called Ping An Inn, the name of this inn is more intimate, who doesn't want to be safe these days. So this inn with a common name is also doing business, and the rooms are almost full, and maybe they are lucky, there is a Tianzi tenant who wants to check out, so they also live in the Tianzi No. 1 room of this Ping'an Inn.

When the innkeeper led Ye Yinfeng and Nangong Xianchen to the No. 1 room of Tianzi, a woman dressed in black came out of the No. 2 room of Tianzi. Ye Yinfeng obviously felt a trace of strong true qi fluctuations from the woman in black, but he didn't pay much attention to the woman in black. When Ye Yinfeng and the others walked into the room with the guy, the woman in black showed a cold light in her beautiful eyes, and looked at the backs of the two of them after entering the room.

Ye Yinfeng didn't pay attention to the appearance of martial arts in this ordinary inn, after all, in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed, there are rivers and lakes martial arts everywhere, which is not a strange thing. After the two of them entered the house, they found that the house was also very clean, although this room was a little simple, but in this barren and barren Shuozhou, it was not bad. Push open the window, you can see the scenery on the street, the bustling crowd in the long street, adding a bit of vitality to the city of Shuozhou.

Luo Lie was carrying dozens of taels of silver ingots given by the man last night in his arms, but his heart was uneasy, but he found that the person next to him had a calm face like water, without the slightest nervousness. is worthy of being a wanted criminal by the Khitan government, and he is really bold, and he dares to break into the tiger's den. This courage made him feel a trace of admiration in addition to a burst of horror in his heart.

When he came to the barracks, Luo Lie walked straight to the tent under his jurisdiction, and he didn't encounter any trouble along the way, and the people he met were all centurions with the same official rank as him. As long as he passed through a camp tent, he could reach the camp where he was, but his heart was inevitably nervous, and at the same time, his heart turned several times, and the camp was the camp of Yeluzan, the general of Shuozhou City.

He felt that as long as he shouted like that, it would be difficult for the man next to him to escape from the Khitan military camp, and he would rise step by step because he caught the son of Guo Dashuai of the Guiyi Army. He hesitated for a long time in his heart, whether to reveal the identity of the person next to him, his eyes flickered a little, and his steps became slow. But just as he was hesitating, he felt a large, powerful hand pressed against his right shoulder.

It was the man beside him, his right hand went around the back of his neck and rested on his right shoulder, and he felt a mountain of weight fall on his right shoulder, which made him feel a sense of horror in his heart. To outsiders, they seem to be like the best brothers, hooked shoulders on their backs. It's just that he knows very well in his heart that if he makes any abnormal moves, then the hand on his shoulder will kill him.

In this way, Luo Lie seemed to easily and tremblingly brought the man beside him into the barracks, of course, in order not to attract the attention of others, Luo Lie arranged the man in the room. In fact, although Luo Lie is a centurion, as Luo Lie is increasingly excluded by the Khitan generals, he can basically be said to have become the leader of the Khitan military camp. However, for a person like him who has no ambitions, and there is no need to worry about his life, he is willing to accept it.

Xiao Shihan's face was very gloomy, and there was a nameless fire in his chest, and he returned to the mansion of Lord Thorn Shi safely without his entourage. He returned to his house, still with a calm face, a layer of hoarfrost could almost be scraped on his cold face, and he paid no attention to the subordinates who greeted him, nor did he molest the maidservants who had been spoiled and toyed with by him.

A heavy snow made all the officials in Shuozhou except for the military camp take a holiday to rest, a rare heavy snowfall, and Xiao Dongping, the master of Shuozhou Thorn History, was meeting guests in the guest room. In addition to important military affairs, this Lord Assassin rarely appears in the court, and basically acts as a shopkeeper and lets him handle affairs.

Xiao Shihan couldn't hide the anger on his face, he rushed directly into his father Xiao Dongping's study, but found that his father was no longer in the study. It wasn't until he asked his subordinates that he learned that his father had gone to the largest green building in Shuozhou City, and it was also the best green building in Shuozhou City. So, he went out again with a few vicious thugs.

Xiao Dongping was dressed like a scribe, and there was a scholarly aura from his body, and he did not dress his hair like an ordinary Khitan, but kept his hair long and pulled it up, like a Han scholar. Of course, this did not affect his status in the eyes of the Khitan Emperor in the slightest, nor could it shake his future of returning to Beijing, the capital of the Khitan Kingdom.

"Looking at the beauties under the lamp, cooking wine and meeting the deceased, laughing and talking about the people in the rivers and lakes, it is really a happy thing in life. I didn't expect that the life of the Han people was so colorful, but it made the official fascinated. Xiao Dongping's Chinese was very fluent, and he didn't enter to toast to the stout Khitan man beside him, and then smiled faintly.
