The hazy sky, the low dark clouds, the imperial capital was shrouded in a gloomy color. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The mottled white snow has not yet completely melted, and the white is mixed with a gray color, and the biting cold wind blows wildly, and everyone feels a faint pain as if they have been cut by a sharp blade. And in this dark gray imperial capital, although everyone felt that the climate was much colder than before, they still couldn't suppress their ardent anticipation for the coming of the New Year.

In the streets and alleys, the pace of pedestrians slowed down, and their faces showed heartfelt joy. The New Year is only a day or two away, the year is coming to an end, and they are looking forward to the new year with new expectations. The shops on both sides of the streets have long been hung with red lanterns representing joy. At a glance, the flaming red dragons crisscrossed the four corners, adding a lot of joy to this gloomy imperial capital.

At the headquarters of the Flying Bird Battalion, Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun came together, and a little excitement flashed in their eyes. In the military camp of the imperial capital, Ling Tianyun finally knocked down one challenger after another under the ring, and finally Shi Zhongxin had to re-examine the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. And in the military camp, there are very few who can keep up with Ling Tianyun, even the cronies of the great general Shi Zhongxin's guards came on the field, and the result was the same. After that, no one in the barracks dared to look at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Xuanyi boy with a knife with a provocative gaze. And their admiration for Zhao Kuangyin is deeper, this is not only the admiration for the great military exploits, but also other mixed in.

Ling Tianyun didn't take this trip to the military camp seriously, it was just a small farce for him. But Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but think a lot in his heart, although the generals in the army had a deep friendship with him, and he was even more famous in the military, and no one in the army was convinced, but this was only temporary, and he thought further in his heart, so that one day, he had a mutiny in Chenqiao that changed his fate.

The two galloped to the headquarters of the Flying Bird Battalion, the courtyard was scattered, and there were not too many members of the Flying Bird Camp here, except for a few members who were training, only Lao Li sat on a long wooden bench lonely. And they didn't see Alai's figure, which made Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun very puzzled. When the guards in the courtyard saw them enter the courtyard, they stopped their movements and looked at them.

Zhao Kuangyin's face sank, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the people in the courtyard, and he found that the flying birds in the courtyard were listless and did not have any spirit at all. He couldn't help but have a look of anger on his face, something he had never seen before.

"What's the matter, Alai?" Zhao Kuangyin asked everyone in a deep voice, but what was waiting for him was a silence, a silent silence. Only the sound of the cold wind whistling from this courtyard, there was no sound, and a trace of regret passed through everyone's eyes, and they looked at the lonely old Li with silent eyes. When Zhao Kuangyin's gaze turned to Lao Li, he found that the other party was colorless, and his distracted face was filled with a bit of inexplicable doubt.

"In the past two days, Alai went out, and he said that he was taken captive by the Khitans, and he lost the face of his brothers. He didn't have the face to stay here, he didn't have the qualifications to be a member of the Sparrow Camp anymore. He is ashamed of his brothers, and he is ashamed of his boss. Lao Li said to Zhao Kuangyin in a deep voice.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned at first, he didn't expect that Alai would make such a decision, he didn't blame anyone, he just hoped to strengthen the Flying Bird Camp and improve the strength of each member. But he didn't expect that his magnanimity would lead to his brother's departure, which couldn't help but hurt his heart. All the brothers here were chosen by him, and there were playmates with whom he had played since childhood, and they had known each other since they wore open crotch pants, and all of them had taken the most painstaking effort since he took over Camp Sparrow. He didn't expect that because of the matter of face, a brother would not say goodbye, he used to be brothers who fought side by side, and they were a group of brothers who shared weal and woe together, but now they are disheartened and unstable.

"Get him back, he will see people alive, and corpses when he dies." Zhao Kuangyin suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted to the members of the courtyard. Brother, he won't lose any of them, and he will find out the Khitan spies one by one. These were extraordinary times, and he had to be careful. The eldest brother Chai Rong has been in the palace for two or three days, but there is no news at all, although he feels that there are some good signs, but the matter has not been settled, and no one has a bottom in his heart.

The members of the courtyard came out one after another, and in the end, even Lao Li went out, and only Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin were left in the courtyard. There was an irrepressible anger in the air, which made the two brothers speechless for a moment, and they both fell into silence. In the courtyard that was once hot and slaughtered, only the fluttering dead leaves were rattling wantonly. In the distance, the snow was pouring down from the branches, and a magnificent scene like an ice and snow storm appeared, but they were not in the mood to enjoy the extreme scenery of the ice and snow falling down.

"Second brother, do you think there is still a need for this Flying Sparrow Camp to exist?" Ling Tianyun's understanding of the flying sparrow still came from Zhao Kuangyin's account of his people. To put it bluntly, the Flying Bird Battalion is a secret special military camp temporarily established when the Great Zhou Emperor searched for information. The members of the Flying Bird Battalion are distributed all over the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the industries are also different, because the information provided is timely and extensive, so it will make immortal achievements for the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"What does the third brother mean by this?" When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a look of doubt, he knew very well the necessity of the existence of the Flying Sparrow Camp, and at the same time spent a lot of his energy and blood. He was originally a general who could lead a heroic division, and he was ordered to take over the Flying Sparrow Battalion, which was originally a thing that made him uncomfortable. And in addition to managing the birds, he also has to travel around the world from time to time to negotiate with those anti-contract forces. Intelligence is extremely important, and Camp Sparrow is the only agency he collects intelligence. He would ask Ling Tianyun with doubts, but he would not think that the other party was untargeted, he must have his own ideas.

"I mean, can the pattern of the second brother be enlarged a little, the Flying Sparrow Camp is only a part. And should the function of its existence also be enlarged, not just a sparrow camp set up for intelligence. In the battle between the two armies, in addition to intelligence, the right time, the right place, and the right people are the key to determining victory or defeat. But second brother, have you ever thought that there are other factors that can lead to the success or failure of a battle? My father once told my younger brother about this idea, but it was difficult to realize the special geographical environment of Baishuiguan at the beginning. ”

Ling Tianyun said to Zhao Kuangyin quietly, and his eyes were full of strange brilliance, admiring his father Ling Duo's whimsical ideas. Little did he know that the thought of meeting the Sparrow would haunt him. When he saw the current situation of the collapse of the Flying Bird Camp, he couldn't help but think of his father's idea, so he mentioned it to Zhao Kuangyin.

"You mean" Zhao Kuangyin was well-informed after all, and he was a battle-hardened general, he immediately grasped the meaning of Ling Tianyun's words. I saw a brilliant light in my eyes, and the haze on my face was suddenly swept away. He hadn't thought that it was just a temporary allocation from Ling Tianyun, but a grand blueprint slowly began to take shape in his mind.

The wind was tighter, the cold was biting, but Zhao Kuangyin's already red cheeks at this time were even more bright, he stood up from the wooden bench, and then walked slowly in the courtyard. Everything in front of him was so familiar and intimate, and there was still a blow he fought the stone pier, and a slight fist mark was clearly visible on the stone pier. Ling Tianyun followed closely behind him, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin still couldn't let go of the Flying Bird Camp that he spent his energy on for a while, and he could understand the kind of sadness that was difficult to give up.

"Let's go, Camp Flying Sparrow is going to fulfill its mission, and it must die. Third brother, I have decided to reform the Flying Sparrow Battalion, enlarge its functions, and become a strong blade on the battlefield that pierces the enemy's henchmen, and even takes the role of the enemy's generals. Zhao Kuangyin looked around the courtyard, and the haze of his brother's departure was swept away in his eyes, replaced by another touch of excitement of great anticipation.

The role of the Flying Bird Camp is no longer as great as when it was first established, and with the establishment of the Great Zhou, in the past two or three years, the Great Zhou has become rich and prosperous. The value of the Flying Bird Battalion cannot be reflected again, and its biggest role at this time is to spy on intelligence and list the intelligence of other countries, such as the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty and other countries.

When Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun returned to Zhao's mansion, someone in the family had already reported that there were guests waiting in Xike. Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to talk to Ling Tianyun about the reform of Feique, but there were guests at home, so they had to postpone the matter for the time being.

The west living room of the Zhao Mansion only receives some relatively ordinary guests, and the main hall will receive heavyweight guests. The people in the living room of Naxi asked to see Zhao Kuangyin by name, so they arranged for the waiting guests to be there. Ling Tianyun was about to go back to the room to rest, and the guest asked to find him by name, so he decided not to go, but Zhao Kuangyin insisted on pulling him there.

When they came to the west living room, there were already six people waiting there for a long time, but Ling Tianyun knew all six people. One of them is the shopkeeper of Jufuxuan, Boss Jin, the other four are the 'Four Righteousness of the Yellow River', and the last one is a woman, who is the pure and arrogant Dugu Aoxue. For the arrival of those six people, Ling Tianyun and Zhao Kuangyin were very concerned about me, but they still politely received them.

After a period of cold noise, Boss Jin explained his intention, and it turned out that the 'Yellow River Siyi' was instructed by a priest to come to the Zhao family. And Dugu Aoxue had no place to live because of amnesia, and she also came to Zhao's house with the Yellow River Siyi. From ancient times to the present, there is a trend of famous families hiring guests, although the Zhao family is not a big family, but in these years, it is also one of the best gate valve families in this imperial capital. All along, the Zhao family has only been guarding the safety of the Zhao Mansion by guarding the safety of the Zhao Mansion, and has never thought of hiring any doormen or anything like that.

As for the reason why the Yellow River Siyi only came to the Zhao family today, Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun didn't ask, after all, everyone knew it. The four righteousness of the Yellow River were originally chivalrous people, and they were not familiar with the Zhao family in Bianliang, they were guided by the mysterious old Taoist and came to the Zhao family, so they also secretly inquired about everything about the Zhao family, so they came to the Zhao Mansion for a long time.

As for Dugu Aoxue, Zhao Kuangyin had already learned and understood everything from Ling Tianyun, this was a tricky question. Dugu Aoxue has amnesia and can't remember that they are on the two opposing sides, if Dugu Aoxue recovers his memory, then it must be a potential danger to the Zhao family and Zhao Kuangyin himself. No one dared to take this risk, and Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while in his heart, but still agreed.

Ling Tianyun had a hint of surprise in his heart, he didn't think that the Yellow River Siyi would come to join the Zhao family, not to mention that the innocent and arrogant woman who left a ripple in his heart would also temporarily live in the Zhao family. Although there was a trace of joy in his heart, he still listened to Zhao Kuangyin's decision quietly. He's just a sleepover tourist, and he doesn't know why he's leaving.
