Ling Tianyun rode out of the Hu family's mansion, and Hu Haijie was also good to him, and he could enter and leave the Hu family's courtyard freely. At first, the splashes fell in love with the horses of the three of them, so they would find trouble for them in the restaurant, but they kicked on the iron plate, so they looked for Hu Hai's outstanding horse. Ling Tianyun didn't have any special thoughts about Hu Haijie's enthusiasm and generosity, this person was a hegemon, it could be said that he did all kinds of evil, he didn't have any good feelings for this person, nor did he have any bad feelings, just using each other.

He rode to an unnamed wine shop, a cluster of low houses in the west of Jinyang City, where the wine shop was at the intersection of a street and an alley. The banner of the wine shop that rose in the wind was hanging weakly on the wooden stake under the scorching sun, this position was more conspicuous, and Ling Tianyun didn't take too much time to find a nameless wine shop.

He tied his horse to a stake in front of the wine-store, and walked straight into the wine-store. This is an old wine shop, with a thick layer of dirt on the broken tables and stools, which must have been left by countless customers for a long time, but the dark tables and stools are relatively clean. On the whole, this nameless liquor store is still relatively clean, but it is still a little dilapidated.

A bartender sat listlessly in the liquor shop, occasionally holding a cloth towel to chase flies flying around, and he did not notice that anyone had entered the liquor shop. After driving away the flies that flew beside him, the bartender's eyes drooped, and a drowsiness appeared.

Ling Tianyun didn't have any discoloration in his eyes, this wine shop was in a group of low houses, although this was the intersection of the street and the alley, but there were few pedestrians at this time. Don't talk about such a nameless small wine shop, even the restaurant where they ate in Jinyang City for the first time is not doing well, and the wine in Jinyang is full of a sour smell like old vinegar, so it's no wonder that this wine shop has a good business.

"Xiao Er, where is your shopkeeper?" As soon as Ling Tianyun entered the door, he saw the drowsy bartender, and he couldn't help but shout loudly at the bartender. And his shout made the bartender feel excited, and he sprang up at once, and when he saw clearly that there was a rough boy in front of him, the excitement fell again.

"Do you want to drink, what is the matter with my shopkeeper? The small shop is a century-old shop, and everyone in Jinyang City knows it, so do you want to give you a few catties of wine to taste. Although the bartender did not take the young man seriously on the surface, he was nagging professionally.

"As far as the wine in your Jinyang City is concerned, it has a sour smell of old vinegar, which is really hard to swallow. If you are looking for your shopkeeper, please report it. Ling Tianyun was happy in his heart, this bartender would really say, what a century-old shop, this shop has only been open for two or three years at best.

"Oh, okay, wait a minute. If the little one is going to call us the shopkeeper, if the shopkeeper doesn't see you, then don't complain about the little one. When the bartender heard this, he immediately lost any interest. He said indifferently to Ling Tianyun, and after saying that, he walked towards the backyard of the wine shop, leaving Ling Tianyun alone in the wine shop.

After a while, the bartender led a middle-aged man to Ling Tianyun's face, "Xiao Ke is the shopkeeper of this wine shop, dare to ask what this little friend has to do?" The middle-aged man clenched his fists and smiled at Ling Tianyun. It was a medium-sized man with a somewhat thin face, and a green shirt exuded a scholarly atmosphere, which made people feel that this was not a wine store shopkeeper, but a down-and-out scholar.

Ling Tianyun took out a black Xuantie token from his arms, shook it in front of the middle-aged man's eyes, and only after the other party saw it clearly, did he put it away. And as soon as the middle-aged man saw the token, his lazy eyes suddenly shot a flash of light.

"You go back first, our wine shop closes today." The middle-aged man said lightly to the listless bartender beside him, he ignored the confusion and doubts in the bartender's eyes, and led Ling Tianyun towards the backyard of the wine shop.

"Zhou Xincai, a subordinate, has seen Ling Gongzi." After the middle-aged man led Ling Tianyun into the backyard, he saluted Ling Tianyun and said. There was excitement in his eyes, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"You and I don't have a subordinate relationship, and I'm just temporarily in the Flying Sparrow Camp by someone else. You don't have to be so restrained, this time I just want to ask you about some things in Jinyang City. Ling Tianyun's face turned straight and he said to the middle-aged man. He is only in the Flying Bird Camp temporarily, and the current Flying Bird Camp is still in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, but he is temporarily in charge of the Flying Bird Camp for his second brother.

"If Ling Gongzi has any needs, just ask, Xiao Ke will definitely fully cooperate." Zhou Xincai's face was solemn, and he said awe-inspiring to Ling Tianyun. He didn't expect that this young boy was actually the commander of the Flying Sparrow Camp, although he didn't know Ling Tianyun's true identity, but with his extraordinary experience, he obviously didn't dare to underestimate this young man.

Ling Tianyun asked him some things about the Jinyang Palace, and then asked him some things about the Zhong family.

It is said that after the Northern Han Emperor Liu Yu returned from the battlefield, he stayed in the imperial study of the Liyang Palace, neither going to the court nor seeing any ministers, but he did not even meet the concubines in the harem. So there are rumors in this palace that the emperor Liu Yu was frightened, and there are rumors that the emperor has fallen into some evil. As for the rest, there is nothing, by the way, it seems that the emperor summoned Hu Guifei last night, who is the concubine who was the most favored by the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

"As for the Zhong family, there have been some movements, and all the clansmen of Zhong Huangyu's family have been stripped of their power and have been reduced to ordinary clansmen who have no power and no power. And Zhong Jianhong seems to have entered the palace yesterday, as if he only returned to the Zhong Mansion last night. There is one thing that is puzzling, in the middle of the night, a carriage drove out of Zhong's house and entered the palace directly. I don't know who was in the carriage and why they entered the palace late at night. ”

"What detailed information do you have about Zhong Jianhong?" Ling Tianyun listened to Zhou Xincai's report, and couldn't help but think for a while, and then asked the other party. This wine shop was originally a secret stake of Da Zhou in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the shopkeeper of this wine shop, Zhou Xincai, was also a member of the Flying Bird Battalion. In Jinyang City, this Zhou Xincai is also the leader of the Flying Bird Battalion, and the spies sent to Jinyang by the Great Zhou all report directly to Zhou Xincai. In addition to Zhou Xincai, there are also some members of the Flying Bird Camp in Jinyang City, who have been placed in different locations, in the palace, there are no green buildings, and some inconspicuous grocery stores, there are members of the Flying Bird Camp.

"This young master of the Zhong family doesn't have any bad habits, he also visits the Qinglou on weekdays, and he has an adulterous relationship with one of his maidservants. As for the others, Xiao Ke's ability is really limited, and he can't find out anything. At the mention of Zhong Jianhong, Zhou Xincai's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and he said apologetically to Ling Tianyun. The people who are mixed in Jinyang City are some ordinary mortals, and it is still a little difficult to really break into the first martial arts family of the Northern Han Dynasty, so they can't find out the details of Zhong Jianhong.

"You have to find out who entered the palace last night as soon as possible? As for other things, let's put it aside, when I lived in Hu Haijie's mansion, I heard that Hu Guifei was Hu Haijie's own sister, but is this serious? Ling Tianyun knew the other party's difficulties, and he didn't say anything, he told his place of residence so that he could contact him in time if there was any news in the future.

"This matter is true, it's just that Hu Haijie can't support the wall with mud, otherwise Hu Guifei is deeply favored by the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, how can she not become the head of the underworld of Jinyang City. There seems to be some estrangement between the two siblings, and they don't interact much. Since Ling Gongzi lives in the Hu family, he is very safe for the time being. Although the Hu family is not as good as other gate valve clans in Jinyang City, for the sake of Hu Guifei's face, no one dares to provoke it easily. ”

"I'm going to go to the palace, what can you do here?" Ling Tianyun secretly thought that Hu Haijie really didn't tell a lie, but he felt that it would obviously be too late for him to enter the palace by relying on Hu Haijie's line, so he was anxious to enter the palace. He wanted to see the true face of the fake Liu Yu clearly, so as to uncover Zhong Jianhong's conspiracy.

"The palace is heavily guarded, and it may be difficult to sneak in. Xiao Ke couldn't find any good way for a while, and when Xiao Ke found the right time, he would definitely notify Ling Gongzi as soon as possible. Zhou Xincai shook his head helplessly, entering the palace is not as simple as entering the gate valve family, in addition to the heavily guarded Jinyang Palace, the palace does not know how many martial arts masters are hidden, so he can only say helplessly.

Seeing that the spies who came to the Jinyang City Flying Bird Camp were still limited in ability, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but think secretly in his heart. He can only take one step at a time, and there is no other way except to wait for him at the moment, so Hu Haijie and Hu Guifei are estranged, and if they want to enter the palace from that line, there are obviously still some difficulties.

"By the way, Ling Tianyun, my Great Zhou army will reach Jinyang City tomorrow, and there will be chaos in this Jinyang City at that time. I still hope that Ling Gongzi will take care, Xiao Ke has already sent the defense map in Jinyang City out of the city. This Jinyang City seems to be loose, but if it is to be stormed, it is really difficult to take it. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be too anxious, and there will be too many losses at that time. Zhou Xincai said to Ling Tianyun with a worried look on his face.

"So soon, alas, one step at a time, as for His Majesty's side, there will be a round or two in the future. But there is news from the Khitan side, Wang Dezhong rushed to the Khitan again, and he must have borrowed troops. I'm afraid that when the Khitan army and the Northern Han army attack from both sides, our Great Zhou army will be in danger. Ling Tianyun's heart couldn't help but think of the Khitan Kingdom, this nail-like existence had been stuck in Zhou's throat, and it couldn't be pulled away, but it was troublesome.

As soon as Wang Dezhong left, Xiao Ke sent a few experienced spies to follow, but the news has not been transmitted so far, I am afraid that it is more than lucky. The Khitans will definitely take the opportunity to send troops, but when the Khitan army will send troops and when it will arrive in Jinyang, these still need to be determined. ”

Ling Tianyun left the nameless wine shop, his face was not relaxed, the Khitan Kingdom like a sword hanging above his head made him worry about Da Zhou. Although the Northern Han Dynasty is a small country, the Northern Han Kingdom also has several famous generals, including Yang Ye in the southernmost place, as well as the Victorian single family five hundred southwest of Jinyang, and Ding Gui, the general stationed in Jinyang, which is not a battle-hardened and brave general. Although the Great Zhou Army came magnificently, it was also tired of people, and this was someone's territory. Therefore, for this battle against Jinyang, Ling Tianyun felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

He couldn't help but clamp his legs, and the horse neighed, and galloped down the street. There was a sense of heaviness in his heart, Zhong Jianhong must have guessed his arrival, he would definitely lay a net waiting for him to get in, and there was obviously not much time left for himself.
