The sky began to slowly darken, and darkness had begun to envelop Baishui Pass, the northernmost border city in the Northern Han Dynasty, and a sudden shadow shrouded Ling Tianyun's heart.

He Zongyu glanced at the small fold in Ling Tianyun's hand, his eyes were slightly condensed, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Ling Tianyun handed the fold in his hand to He Zongzhuo, He Zongzhu looked at this book, his expression began to look serious, he looked up at Ling Tianyun and said: "This customs clearance document is true, if the Khitan who was killed is really Yelu Boqing, this is a big trouble." What is Ling Gongzi's opinion on this? ”

Ling Tianyun pondered for a while, his face showed a solemn but helpless expression, he found that the owner of this customs clearance document, the dead Khitan was the one who fought with him for the first time, the commander of the thousand, no wonder the internal force was so deep, but what he felt even more strange was that the Khitan person obviously did not have the momentum in the thousands of troops, and the murderous and aggressive aura that should be in the body of a commander, could it be that this person was fake, but the document was real.

Ling Tiantian muttered: "Wen Mu is true, but people may not know it yet. ”

"What do you mean by that," Mr. He asked suspiciously.

Ling Tianyun explained his thoughts and guesses to Mr. He. He Zongzhu went to the corpses of the other two Khitans, took out two customs clearance documents, and found that the documents of the two Khitans were written on them as two ordinary businessmen.

He Zongzhu pondered for a while, he couldn't explain this, and said to Ling Tianyun helplessly: "It's getting late now, I'll go back to the mansion first and tell Lord Fu Yin, let Lord Fu Yin make a decision again, and I will leave first, if Lord Fu Yin needs to question Ling Gongzi to investigate this case, I hope that Gongzi will cooperate more." ”

"Mr. He is polite, if necessary, the younger brother will go to the government to cooperate."

He Zongzhu hugged Ling Yun with a fist, and then arranged for the other officials to carry the bodies of the three Khitans, got on the horse and left with those officials, and went straight to the Baishui City Mansion. At this time, the onlookers also began to disperse.

Ling Tianyun looked at the officials who were gradually leaving, and he also found that there was no one of his old acquaintances, Guo Jian, in this group of officials, which also made him a little puzzled. Usually, no matter what happens in Baishui City, big or small, Guo Jian will appear, but today he didn't see others, but he didn't want to ask too much, after all, it was a matter in the mansion.

A faint chill was distinct in this darkening curtain, Ling Tianyun walked to the door of the wine shop and picked up his saber, he said hello to the proprietress of the wine shop and Duo'er, and walked towards the general's mansion. He couldn't wait to rush back, he had to tell his father everything that had happened, he felt that all of this might really point to his father Ling Duozhi, and he had a guess in his heart that he had to get his father's help to find out.

Duo'er looked at Ling Tianyun's departing back, a strange light shot out of her eyes, and then disappeared in a flash, her eyes returned to her timid look, and her red cheeks seemed to be even more rosy. The proprietress looked at all this and showed a slight smile.

Ling Tianyun was anxious to rush on the street where the general was going to be a general, along the street of the bazaar, Ling Tianyun ran all the way, and after passing through the four streets was the general's mansion. Ling Tianyun looked around vigilantly, the streets were sparsely walked, only a few figures were walking on the street two or three zhang wide, and smoke began to rise from the residential houses everywhere.

When Ling Tianyun was about to cross a cross street, he saw a figure standing in the center of the crossroads, Ling Tianyun suddenly stopped running wildly in his heart, and looked at it, only to see that the person was dressed in black, with a black robe and a hat on his head, facing him head-on, the man lowered his head, making Ling Tianyun unable to see his face clearly.

Ling Tianyun's eyes condensed slightly, and a sharp gaze looked at the person, only to see that the person slowly raised his head, Ling Tianyun was stunned, only to see a resolute and familiar face appear in front of his eyes.

"Brother Guo," a voice of surprise spat out from Ling Tianyun's mouth, he didn't expect that it was Guo Jian who was standing in the middle of the crossroads, what made him feel puzzled Guo Jian was dressed strangely at this time, and at this time, Guo Jian's familiar aura was gone, replaced by a fierce, majestic aura.

Guo Jian glanced at Ling Tianyun and showed a hint of a smile, he didn't make a sound, just made a gesture, turned around and walked towards the street on the right, Ling Tianyun didn't make a sound when he saw this, and silently followed behind Guo Jian. He was full of thoughts in his heart, there were too many things that happened today, from the conversation of his father Ling Duozhi in the morning, to the battle with the Khitans not long ago, until the Khitans were killed by sharp arrows, and at this time, a friend Guo Jian who he was familiar with gave himself another strange breath at this time.

Guo Jian's pace began to quicken, his figure flickered sharply, sometimes a few steps, sometimes he took off into the air, Ling Tianyun followed closely behind him, and at first he could barely keep up with his pace. Slowly, Ling Tianyun began to feel a little tired, and a little beads of sweat began to appear on his head, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. Whenever Ling Tianyun wanted to follow Guo Jian, Guo Jian would slow down, and the two of them kept running like this.

About a quarter of an hour later, Guo Jian stopped, there was only a small street about a zhang wide, and there were rows of low residential houses on both sides of the small street, Guo Jian stopped next to an ordinary bungalow earthen wall, Ling Tianyun followed out breathlessly, breathing heavily, he stood behind Guo Jianjian, and looked around, he had never been to this place, if the big Baishui City he had not been to everywhere, but this was not Guo Jian's house, although Guo Jian's home was also in a bungalow, but this was obviously not.

Guo Jian walked in front of a dilapidated wooden door in the center of the earthen wall, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door a few times, and after a while, the wooden door "creaked" open, behind the door stood a septuagenarian, rickety hunched back, holding a cane, the hair on the top of the old man's head was already bald, a few white hairs were tied behind his head, the emaciated face did not have a little flesh, and the face seemed to be only a human skin.

The septuagenarian's eyes looked at Ling Tianyun with a terrifying light, feeling the septuagenarian's gaze, Ling Tianyun's whole body suddenly felt a chill, his heart sank, goosebumps all over his body, he felt that the old man was staring at him like a zombie.

Guo Jian bowed his head and whispered a few words in the ear of the septuagenarian, who turned sideways and let them in. Ling Tianyun followed Guo Jian through the wooden door, and the septuagenarian then closed the wooden door and followed them. Ling Tianyun felt a little weird, especially the feeling that the septuagenarian was following behind him, and he felt a kind of hairiness in his heart.

Walking into the tattered wooden door, there was a small courtyard, with a potholed ground, a few scattered stones deep in the dirt, and a small stone mill in the corner of the courtyard. Immediately after the three dilapidated earthen houses in front of the courtyard, Guo Jian led Ling Tianyun to the earthen house in the middle, and the wood of the earthen house in the middle broke open.

Ling Tianyun also followed Guo Jian into the earthen house, and unexpectedly the septuagenarian did not follow in, but went to the earthen house on the right, without the old man following him, which made Ling Tianyun's heart feel a lot less uncomfortable.

Candles had already been lit in the earthen house, and the dim light swayed with the wind brought by Guo Jian and Ling Tianyun entering, and the already dark sky became even darker as soon as they walked into the earthen house. The flickering candlelight flashed several figures. Seeing this, Ling Tianyun hesitated for a moment, but still stood behind Guo Jian.

With the flickering dim candlelight, Ling Tianyun found that there were four people sitting at a small shabby small square table in the room, and the four of them were also dressed like Guo Jian, dressed in black and wearing a big black robe, the difference was that they did not wear hats. When the four saw Guo Jian enter the house, they immediately got up. The four of them swept their gazes over Ling Tianyun's body, and then didn't look at it again.

Ling Tianyun looked at the four people through the dim candlelight, one of them was actually a woman, with a fair melon seed face, her eyebrows were like spring, but her bright eyes revealed a light like a mist, and under the black clothes, her delicate figure was highlighted. But Ling Tianyun couldn't determine her age. As if sensing Ling Tianyun's gaze, the woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but her gaze swept over Ling Tianyun slightly.
