The members of the Flying Sparrow Battalion were full of doubts in their hearts, but they couldn't have any disobedience to Zhao Kuangyin's orders, they didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to let this young boy be their commander. Although they knew that the young man had www.biquge.info an extraordinary relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, the young man was still so young after all, could he lead the members of the Flying Sparrow Battalion to open up a new starting point. So their hearts were full of all kinds of doubts, but they couldn't have any dissatisfaction with this young boy. They didn't know about Lai and the others, and they still didn't know about the departure of Lai and the others, so in their panic, Zhao Kuangyin threw Ling Tianyun to them without any explanation, and became their boss.

Ling Tianyun didn't have any explanation, he looked at these big men with doubts in his eyes, he only explained some things to them, that is, to find the stronghold of the Khitans at any cost. He only said a few things to the Camp members of all ages, and then didn't say much else. For the only remaining Feng Bupo couple in the Feng family, he was anxious about the fact that he was taken captive by the Khitans.

A member of the Flying Sparrow Battalion hurriedly left from the courtyard, and Ling Tianyun stood alone in the courtyard. His heart was full of endless indignation, but there was no way to vent this indignation, he didn't expect the Khitans to be so bold.

He sighed, only explained to the other two members who stayed in the base camp, and hurried out. He stepped on a horse tethered to the gate of the courtyard, and with a whip he raised, and the horse neighed and galloped away with four hooves and galloping away. He didn't know where to go, he didn't know how to start, looking for the Khitan stronghold, there was no clue at all. He could only hope that the members of the Flying Sparrow Camp could find some clues, otherwise he would be like a headless fly, and he would not be able to find any clues at all.

Riding a horse through the street, he thought of the courtyard that he had a misunderstanding with Ye Yinfeng that day, and he rode his horse in that direction with his memory.

At this time, a warm spring breeze began to permeate the imperial capital, and the biting chill had begun to weaken a lot. A blood-like flush rolled up like a firework, and the clouds were rendered into a blood-like red glow by the sunset that did not follow. An invisible depression arose, the wind blew everyone's clothes, blowing the fir branches on both sides of the river to sway, and at this time, the people in this imperial capital felt a few strange breaths, and the suppressed breath suppressed them to the point that they were almost out of breath. They found that there were some unfamiliar faces around them inexplicably, which made them suddenly feel a sense of panic in their hearts.

Crossing the stone arch bridge, Ling Tianyun rode his horse towards the small street slowly, he didn't dare to let the horse run wild on the street, which made him feel uneasy. If the Khitans were still here, then he was alone in danger, and he couldn't think of any more appropriate word than to find death.

The street was silent, with few pedestrians, only a few passers-by, apparently local residents. Ling Tianyun didn't dare to be careless, he slowed down his horse and came to the gate of the courtyard, he found that the gate of the courtyard was tightly closed, and the courtyard was even more silent.

"Senior, is there anyone in this courtyard before you dare to?" Ling Tianyun sat on horseback and asked an old man who was hobbling in his footsteps. The old man was full of silver threads, with a slumped back, and a cane in his hand. It was an ordinary resident of the imperial capital, dressed in an old but clean gown.

"There has been no one living in this courtyard for a long time, young man, are you here to visit relatives or find a room to live in?" The old man's hoarse voice replied to Ling Tianyun. There was a bit of surprise in his cloudy eyes, his slightly narrowed eyes looked at Ling Tianyun, his eyes didn't seem to be very good, he took a few steps closer to Ling Tianyun, and only then did he see Ling Tianyun clearly.

"Visiting relatives, the little one came to this courtyard a few days ago, why is there no one here?" Ling Tianyun was shocked in his heart, but there was not the slightest change in his face, and he asked the old man in a puzzled tone. The old man said that this courtyard had not been inhabited for a long time, and it was obviously not a lie, but he didn't understand why those Khitans used this courtyard as a temporary stronghold.

"Young man, don't say anything, the old man has lived in this street for decades, where can he not know every family in this street and alley. This courtyard, it was during the Shang Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty, the owner of this courtyard violated the royal law, and the whole family was beheaded outside the noon gate. So the compound has been empty for a decade or two, and it is said that ghosts appear in the courtyard at night. Young man, you better hurry up, don't go in, lest you be ghosted. Seeing that Ling Tianyun wanted to dismount, the old man hurriedly persuaded the other party.

"Thank you seniors for reminding me, the little one just listened to the elders of the family, saying that this courtyard is a distant relative of the little one, so I came to visit one or two." Ling Tianyun hurriedly explained to the old man.

"It's been a decade or two, and there's nothing else to visit. Young man, you'd better go quickly. The old man hurriedly persuaded Ling Tianyun. His majestic figure reminded Ling Tianyun of his grandfather Feng Yuxiu, he was not kind to the absolute side, he was about to dismount, he held back, he sat on the horseback and arched his hand to the old man.

Ling Tianyun still didn't get off his horse, he rode his horse towards the other end of the alley, his heart was full of doubts about the old man's words. As for the ghost, he didn't care too much, those ghosts that haunted at night must be Khitan spies, otherwise the old man would not say that there are often ghosts haunting this courtyard.

He walked out of the alley, and then casually found a restaurant and walked up, at this time, naturally a shopkeeper came to take the horse in his hand. When he came to the restaurant, he ordered some wine and food alone, and drank alone. Too many things have happened in the past few days, which made him feel unprepared, he thought about too many things, and also thought of the blue-shirted young man Ye Yinfeng. For some reason, his heart was filled with a faint warmth, and the young man named Ye Yinfeng gave him an indescribable sense of intimacy.

In the sky above the imperial capital, there was a red blood color, just like the clouds above the imperial capital were all burning, so the scenery was spectacular and gorgeous, giving people a strange feeling. Those clouds that burned like blood made people can't help but see the blood surging wildly, almost as if they were about to burst out. The rolling clouds, like blood-like clouds, pressed down wildly towards the imperial capital, and the burning clouds began to fade gradually.

This is an ordinary dusk in the warm spring breeze of the imperial capital, and it is also a twilight with a bit of bloodthirstiness. The burning clouds began to change back to their original shape, but the red light reflected above the sky dome lingered for a long time, as if a bloodthirsty night was brewing.

When night comes, sparse starlight can be seen above the vast sky, but there is still a thin layer of clouds that will not disperse for a long time. There was silence everywhere, and the pedestrians on the streets had long since disappeared, not because they didn't like the night in the imperial capital, but because there was a strange atmosphere in the night today, which made those pedestrians who lingered on the streets subconsciously hid.

Ling Tianyun abandoned his horse and ran, his figure flashed from the street, and then flashed into the alley, he still had to find out tonight. If it was as the old man said, there must be something wrong with this courtyard, but after that incident, they had long forgotten about this courtyard, and they didn't think that they would come here again tonight.

Alone, Ling Tianyun didn't have any fear in his heart, he just hoped that he could find out something from this courtyard. With a force under his feet, he scurried up from the alley like a cheetah, and soon came to the door of the courtyard, and he looked around, but found nothing suspicious, and then turned over and entered the courtyard wall.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, this courtyard was still the same as that day, without the slightest change, but there was an indescribable sense of depression in this courtyard, like a hideous beast, waiting for the prey at the entrance. Ling Tianyun squatted in the corner of the wall and listened carefully for a while, and found that there was no suspicious sound in this courtyard.

But he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and pulled out the Xingze Treasure Knife, and he walked cautiously towards the house, he made his steps as light as possible without making any sound. The door of the house was closed, and with a stroke of his knife he bolted it open, and with a push of his hand it came open with a slight noise.

Inside, it was dark and dark, and only sporadic starlight shone into this room, and he searched for it like a ghost. He found that everything in this house was clean, and there was not even a trace of dust on it, which showed that this house was not uninhabited for a long time as the old man said.

It can be seen that this courtyard must be a stronghold of the Khitan people, secretly snickering in his heart, Ling Tianyun looked around in this house again, hoping to see any clues from this house. Except for the cleanliness of the furniture in this house, there is not the slightest clue. This made Ling Tianyun very frustrated.

Since he couldn't find any clues in this house, someone should always come, so Ling Tianyun decided to stay here and wait for the Khitans to appear. He believed that this must be a secret stronghold of the Khitans, and if he was lucky enough, he could wait for someone to return.

Sitting alone in the quiet night, Ling Tianyun's breath was long, and the aura of nothingness completely hid him, and the treasure knife in his hand had already been sheathed. His eyes were slightly closed, and he slowly breathed in his breath, and he hid himself in the dark night, and if there were outsiders in the courtyard, he would not notice that there was a person hidden in this house.

I don't know how long it took, the aura in Ling Tianyun's body was full and abundant, and wisps of Mahayana true qi flowed in his bones, and he raised his state of mind to the limit.

There was a slight sound of breaking the sky, and Ling Tianyun, who was sitting alone in the house, moved in his heart, but he still didn't open his eyes, and his ears listened closely to everything outside the house. It's just that the hand he held the sword began to exert force, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

Listening to the sound of breaking the sky, it was obvious that there was not one person coming, there should be four or five people. The visitors were obviously very careful, and they stayed outside the courtyard for a few breaths, and then they turned over from the courtyard wall and entered, and when they entered the courtyard, they were not in a hurry to enter the house, but a few people walked around the courtyard.

Hearing the few comers who were walking, Ling Tianyun's tense heart relaxed, the steps of the comers were steady, and the breath exhaled and inhaled from the mouths of the comers judged that their martial cultivation realm was not very high. Obviously, they were just some ordinary Khitan spies, and no masters came. Knowing this, Ling Tianyun was relieved.

As long as it wasn't for a master like Yelu Wuji to come, he could rest assured, and he was also thinking in his heart about how to catch all the people without making a huge movement. Just as he was thinking about it, there was a dull sound from the courtyard, as if something heavy had been thrown into the courtyard.

"Today has made a great contribution, I didn't expect this Zhao Kuangyin to fall into our hands." The courtyard thought of the words of a Khitan man, although he spoke Khitan dialect, Ling Tianyun could still understand it. And when it came to this first sentence, Ling Tianyun was even more horrified in his heart, he didn't expect that the heavy object that fell to the ground would be one person, and it was also his brother-in-law Zhao Kuangyin.

"Isn't it, who helped us throw Zhao Kuangyin in front of our eyes, and didn't reveal his identity. We didn't even see the gang of us, but so did the general, so why do we have to send this man here, I think we might as well kill them. ”

"You know, the general's decision naturally has his considerations. Isn't it often said that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Although this place has been discovered, how could the waste of Da Zhou think that we would have to return here. ”

Ling Tianyun hid in the house and listened to the conversation of the Khitans in the courtyard, his eyes suddenly opened, and a fierce light full of strong killing intent burst out from his eyes.
