Ling Tianyun's body also fell with the fall of the archer, but this thrilling fight used all his strength. He sat limply on the ground, gasping for air. The placket of his clothes had already been cut by the dead branches everywhere in the shuttle, and the wound under his left rib and the wound under his abdomen flared up together. Two great pains spread throughout his body, causing him to clench his teeth.

He rested for a while, and tore open the placket of his left rib, and the blood oozing from his left rib was already sticking to the placket. The placket around his left side was stained with blood, staining it red.

Ling Tianyun's right hand clenched the arrow that had been inserted into his left rib, and he gritted his teeth and slammed it. A huge tearing pain suddenly came from under his left ribs, and the huge pain continued to rush towards his whole body like a frenzy. made his whole body twitch uncontrollably, and dense beads of sweat flowed down his forehead, instantly covering his face.

He raised his pale face slightly, holding up the arrow that had been pulled out, and the diamond-shaped arrow of the arrow still had a small piece of flesh under Ling Tianyun's ribs sticking to it. His bag was thrown not far from him, and he crawled to it with great difficulty, and took out a small porcelain bottle of gold medicine from his bag.

Pouring the medicinal powder on the wound where the skin was turned upside down, a trace of even more intense pain began to attack, and Ling Tianyun couldn't help but roar. The hands clenched into fists made a "crackling" sound at the joints. Then, the pain began to recede like a tidal wave, and his collapsed body could no longer support it, and he sat down against a dead tree.

The pain from his abdomen and left rib was no longer so intense, and he raised his head through the branches of the dead tree, and in the silent night sky, a crescent moon hung in the air. While he was exercising his breath, but in his mind, Duo'er's face appeared inexplicably, with long eyebrows like daisies, a pair of charming eyes like a crescent moon in the sky, and a shy face that was always so timid.

He thought of Guo Huai'an, maybe Guo Huai'an's opponent would be many times stronger than the one he encountered, and the dense forest at this time was in a state of tranquility. Ling Tianyun completely relaxed himself, he knew that he was safe for the time being. Relaxing yourself properly is good for your recovery.

He thought of the words that the archer had roared before he died, but Ling Tianyun only had a trace of guilt in his heart, but it was only a flash and he left it behind again. He knew he wasn't the kind of person who wanted to kill, but the people who were ambushed in the jungle obviously wouldn't really kill him. Specifically why he didn't kill him, Ling Tianyun probably guessed something.

Ling Tianyun was still influenced by Ling Duozhi in his bones, Ling Duozhi was a pure soldier, he didn't understand, and he didn't disdain to understand politics, he just had to abide by his duty as a soldier. And Ling Duozhi is a different kind of soldier, but the duty of the soldier he adheres to is only to guard the small square inch of the city in Baishui Pass and ensure the safety of the people in Baishui City. His only belief was that the city of Baishui could not be swallowed by the Khitans, and he did not have much loyalty to Liu Yu, the supreme ruler of the Northern Han Dynasty. even disdained some of Liu Yu's methods, but he had no choice but to stick to his belief that he might collapse at any time.

Ling Tianyun is also a soldier, although his beliefs are not like his father's, he also has his own bottom line. He knew that the people who were lying in ambush in the dense forest wanted to capture him alive, and they were nothing more than threatening his father. As for what he threatened his father to achieve, he would not care. As long as someone threatens his father, he will not hesitate to kill it, even if he kills the other party.

Although there were dangers lurking in this dense forest, Ling Tianyun's heart began to settle down. Inadvertently, he touched the sachet hanging from his waist, and a soft and docile texture came from his fingertips, and a faint fragrance penetrated from his nostrils. Suddenly making him feel at ease, he quickly sat up straight, and his brain immediately entered a state of emptiness.

There was silence in the secluded forest, and some unknown insects began to scream wildly. The smoke around him had long since subsided, and presumably the spark with dead leaves had been extinguished before it ignited. But there was still a slight smell of blood in the dense forest, I don't know if it was from the fallen archer, or from Ling Tianyun's wounds.

About half an hour later, Ling Tianyun stood up, he felt this embarrassed body. I felt that the pain in the wound was not so intense, and the arrow wound under the rib was no longer bleeding. He tore a strip of cloth and wrapped the wound tightly, leaving no part of his clothes intact. He untied the sachet from his waist and hung it around his neck. The sachet clung to his chest, and there was a hint of softness.

After pranayama for half an hour, he had recovered half of his physical strength, and his internal strength began to be abundant again. He walked over to the dead archer, exhaled a deep breath and sighed. There was a shudder in his eyes, and he looked at the fallen corpse without any pity in his eyes. In any case, the archer did die a little unjustly, but he ran into Ling Tianyun, a little border scout who never played cards according to the routine.

Ling Tianyun lowered his body and picked up the short knife that the archer had slipped to the ground, and looked at it carefully. I saw that the short knife was less than a foot, and the blade was curved like a crescent moon in the night sky. The sharp blade emits a faint halo under the moonlight, and the handle of the knife is engraved with two small seal characters "Seven Stars", if you don't look carefully, you really can't see that there are two small seal characters engraved at the handle of the knife. He also untied the scabbard of the short knife from the side of the corpse's combat boots, the scabbard was made of delicate cowhide, and the scabbard was engraved with some runes that Ling Tianyun had never seen.

He inserted the dagger into its scabbard and slipped it into his bag. He found the saber and the saber scabbard that had been thrown aside, and took his bag and walked to the edge of the road.

At this time, Ling Tianyun heard a slight "fluttering" sound, he didn't care, it might be the birds in the dense forest that were startled by him.

In this dense forest, although he was still cautious, he unexpectedly did not encounter any ambush. He walked into the depths of the dense forest, and the official road passed through the depths of the dense forest. He didn't go up the official road, but kept walking along the official road in the dense forest.

After walking for about an hour, a faint light came from the front, and he was about to walk out of the dense forest. Ling Tianyun was overjoyed and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Walking out of the dense forest, there was an open space ahead, and patches of fields appeared in front of Ling Tianyun's eyes. Outside the dense forest, under the direct sunlight of the moonlight and starlight, you can clearly see the distance dozens of feet ahead. He walked up the official road and kept going along the official road, and so far he had not encountered any ambush. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party had only sent three people to this dense forest, and why his whereabouts in the dense forest were so accurate every time.

Since there was no ambush, Ling Tianyun temporarily put his mind at ease, but he still tightened the nerves in his whole body, after all, the crisis had not been resolved, and there might be sudden changes at any time.

Ling Tianyun looked at the official road, his white horse was standing on the official road, and it seemed that he had not gone far.

But behind the steed came a figure, standing like a ghost beside the white steed. Ling Tianyun's eyes shrank slightly, and he looked at the figure fixedly, and when he saw the figure clearly, he was secretly taken aback.

That person was actually He Zongzhu of the Baishui City Mansion, and He Zongzhu had changed his dress, which was no longer the kind of official uniform worn by the officials of the government, but was replaced by a light cyan robe. He stood beside the horse, but the horse didn't seem to have any intention of resisting him, the horse's nose spewed out a thick mist, and he lowered his head uneasily, as if warning Ling Tianyun of something.

Ling Tianyun was on guard, looking at Mr. He, he didn't expect that this seemed to be the last hurdle. And the person in this last level is Mr. He, a relatively taciturn Mr. He in Whitewater City. For this Mr. He, Ling Tianyun didn't have much intersection with him, but this person has always been low-key and dedicated to his work. But he also rarely socializes with people, except for his work on weekdays, he is rarely seen at other times.

Mr. He looked at Ling Tianyun with a smile, he walked out of the horse and walked towards Ling Tianyun. When he walked to a distance of about three zhang from Ling Tianyun, he stopped.

"Yes, it took nearly three hours to get out of the forest." A few words of approval came out of Mr. He's mouth.

Ling Tianyun was stunned for a moment, listening to Mr. He's words, there didn't seem to be any hostility, he didn't speak, he wanted to hear him continue. But he still covered his whole body with true qi, and the wounds on his body were still faintly painful.

"You know, if it's Ling Zun, it might not take a quarter of an hour. You made several fatal mistakes, you know what. ”

Ling Tianyun was completely stunned, and looked at the other party with a trace of doubt. He didn't understand why He Zongzhu wanted to mention his father at this time.

"Don't you really understand, He Mou is just here to tell you some facts, there is still a big gap between you and Ling Zun." He Zongzhu ignored the other party's doubts and said slowly.

"Who the hell are you?" Ling Tianyun was very curious about his true identity, and couldn't help but ask the other party.

"Ling Gongzi won't be unaware of He, He is just a chief arrester of this Baishui City Mansion." Then Mr. He heard the other party's inquiry and replied lightly.

"The chief arrest of the Baishui City Mansion, this is just another identity of yours, what is your real identity?" Ling Tianyun heard a faint hint of disdain from the other party's tone.

Out of nowhere, Mr. He took out a short knife, which was exactly the same as the short knife of the archer who was stabbed to death by Ling Tianyun with an arrow. He held the short knife and leisurely shaved the nails of his left hand, and with the help of the faint moonlight, Ling Tianyun found that the palm of his left hand was white and slender. He had never paid attention to his palms before, but the man's white, slender fingers gave him a dangerous aura.

Mr. He grabbed the short knife in his hand, and a dazzling brilliance burst from the blade of the short knife. The light grew brighter and brighter, comparing the moonlight in the night sky.

Ling Tianyun's heart froze, and he looked at it again, only to see that the light flashed and disappeared into the moonlight. The short knife turned into an ordinary and ordinary knife again.

He Zongzhu regained his leisurely look, and the short knife in his hand was still cutting his nails. Immediately, he raised his head again, a sharp light shot out of his eyes, and he said to Ling Tianyun: "My true truth, in fact, I don't know, I'm just running errands for others, just like the three wastes you killed." ”

"You're not in the same league as them, but I feel like you arranged it, right?"

"Yes, I did arrange all of this." He Zongzhu did not deny it, and replied indifferently.

"So the archer who shot Na Yelu Boqing last time was not one of these two?"

"Not bad."

"They are clearly from the imperial capital Taiyuan, but you are not. And you have the power to direct them, who you are, and you don't seem to care if they live or die. Ling Tianyun raised his doubts, and he looked at the other party coldly, hoping that he could give him a satisfactory answer.

"There are people in the depths of the white clouds, I can only tell you this, and it is inconvenient to disclose the rest." Mr. He said with a straight face, he stopped the movements in his hands, and his whole body exuded a solemn aura.
