Chapter 497: The Eve of the Great War (II)

"Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of fighting, and besides, even if we want to go to the battlefield and charge, it will not be our turn. Our mission is to protect the safety of my eldest brother and prevent the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty from hurting my eldest brother. Leave the rest to the soldiers and soldiers, we should be far from the battlefield. Ling Tianyun was bored and leaned on the wooden stake in front of the tent, he put his head behind his head, looked up at the night sky, and said quietly.

Ye Yinfeng's posture was also a little lazy, but everything around this tent was in his heart, and he knew that Ling Tianyun looked extremely relaxed and leisurely on the surface, but in fact, just like him, he was watching everything around him tightly. Even if one of the Praetorian guards around this tent couldn't help but stretch his waist or fart, they were clearly aware of it.

"It's also very strange to say, the two of us are not from the Great Zhou, why do you say that we are actually involved in the war between the Great Zhou and the Northern Han Dynasty. Ling Zun is also a famous general in the Northern Han Dynasty who guards the border passes, if you Northern Han people know that you help the Great Zhou, this will have no impact on Ling Zun. ”

Ling Tianyun was silent for a while, and then a strange light appeared in his eyes and replied, "My father is a pure soldier, but he is not the kind of traditional military general. In his philosophy, the relationship between the monarch and the minister was far less important than the one he had to come to the people of Baishuiguan. If he was afraid that I would affect him, he would not let me leave Baishui Pass to explore the rivers and lakes. In fact, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, I have already offended the Zhong family in Jinyang to death, and with the power of the Zhong family, it is indeed easy to kill my father. But I have always had a feeling in my heart that my father is not an ordinary border general, and there is no one in the Northern Han Dynasty who can harm my father. ”

"No one in the Northern Han Dynasty can harm Ling Zun, it doesn't mean that no one wants to harm Ling Zun. As long as others have this idea and intention, then Ling Zun's situation will be more dangerous. Don't forget, if the Northern Han people find out that you appear on this battlefield and help the Great Zhou, with your character of the Northern Han Emperor who can't rub the sand in his eyes, will Ling Zun's situation be good. Ye Yinfeng said worriedly to the other party.

"You don't have to worry about it, my father is not such a simple border general. Besides, the Ling family army under his father's command is not a vegetarian, but otherwise, he abandoned Baishui Pass and ran into the sixteen states of Yanyun. Ling Tianyun said confidently, he was not worried about his father's situation at all.

"The two of us still need to hide our identities, no matter what, you and I are not from Da Zhou." Ye Yinfeng suggested that his identity did not matter to him, although he was from the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was alone. Even if his identity is exposed, he can't affect others. And Ling Tianyun is different, he still has a family, and his father who works in Baishui Pass in the Northern Han Dynasty, this matter spreads all over the world, and his family will be hit.

"Alright, just do as you say." Ling Tianyun spread his hands helplessly, expressing compromise. Of course, he knew that the young man in front of him was for his good, and he also knew that this battle would be dangerous, but he still had a premonition in his heart that his father Ling Duozhi should have already arrived at such a day.

The night was lonely, and the candles were still shining in the tent, and there was no sign of the Great Zhou generals discussing in the tent. From the tent, a few figures were reflected back and forth, but it was the Great Zhou Emperor who led the Great Zhou generals to discuss tomorrow's war. However, Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng outside the camp were bored, and they were chatting while paying close attention to the movements around them.

At this time, there was a noise, and the two of them looked towards the noisy voice, and saw several Great Zhou soldiers escorting a man in black towards the camp. The leader is Gao Chengde, at this time, Gao Chengde is wearing bright armor, holding a thick saber, walking with a dragon and tiger steps, and his body exudes a high atmosphere.

"Ouch, I said Lao Gao, I've been mixing well lately, and I've become a top ten. When will you be promoted, you will have to have a drink. Ling Tianyun saw Gao Chengde's general uniform at a glance, he didn't expect that in just a few days, Gao Chengde had been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a tenth general.

Since the Battle of Tianjing Pass, Ling Tianyun and Gao Chengde have been like-minded, and the two of them will also go out to drink some wine from time to time while they are stationed in the military camp. In addition, they have experienced life and death together in Tianjing Pass, so he can't get acquainted with Ma Chenghui and Gao Chengde anymore.

Ling Gongzi said with a smile, it was just ten generals, where can you talk about any promotion, let alone anything you want to promote. Unlike the two of you, you have become a guard under Your Majesty's account, you can see Your Majesty every day, and when the time comes, you will have to invite you to drink. Gao Chengde smiled innocently, touched the helmet on his head, and replied stupidly.

"Look at you like that, look at you so happy, you don't even know who you are." Ling Tianyun couldn't help but joke when he saw the other party's stupid look. Gao Chengde came from the grief of losing his mother, he was also happy for the other party, to be honest, Gao Chengde can be promoted to the top ten generals, this is also a reasonable thing, after all, this Gao Chengde is the hero who killed the Northern Han general Li Yanneng.

"Lao Gao, what's going on, did you catch a spy?" Ye Yinfeng didn't get involved in their jokes, and his eyes fell on the man in black escorted by the Great Zhou soldiers. He felt that the man in black exuded a strong aura on his body, and he was obviously a martial artist. And it was a few ordinary soldiers who escorted him, which was obviously unreasonable, where was an ordinary soldier who was an opponent of martial arts.

"I almost forgot about business." As soon as Gao Chengde heard Ye Yinfeng's questioning, his face turned straight and he continued: "Lao Ma led the brothers to find this guy when he was patrolling outside the camp, and then he arrested this guy and interrogated him. This guy said that he was the one who sent the letter, and he wanted to bring a message to Ling Gongzi. I don't know what it is, no matter how I interrogate him, this guy just won't say it, saying that he wants to see Ling Gongzi. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing. So you brought him here. Ling Tianyun's gaze fell on the man in black, he felt that the aura circulating on the man in black was somewhat familiar, and he knew the identity of the other party only then did he know the identity of the other party.

"The little one has seen Major General Ling." Seeing that Ling Tianyun had his gaze on his body, he clenched his fists at Ling Tianyun and said. The man in black spoke with a bit of arrogance, obviously not paying much attention to the soldiers who grabbed him, and although his attitude towards Ling Tianyun was somewhat respectful, it was not the kind of respect in his bones, as if someone had asked him to do this with his attitude.

"It's Zhong Jianhong who wants you to come to see me and say something." Ling Tianyun had seen this person, and he had seen this person in the Zhongjia Martial Arts Dojo in Lanzhou. So as soon as he guessed, he knew that it must have been sent by Zhong Jianhong, the young master of the Zhong family, and at the same time, his heart couldn't help but sink, obviously his traces were discovered by the people of the Zhong family.

"The young master of my family asked the little one to bring a message to the young general Ling, there is a wild boar forest ten miles away in the northwest, and the young master of my family is waiting for the young general there." The man's face did not change, as if none of this had anything to do with him, he was just a messenger.

"Lao Gao, let him go." When Ling Tianyun heard this, he waved his hand and asked Gao Chengde to let the man in black go. He couldn't help but have an uneasy premonition in his heart, why did Zhong Jianhong ask him to meet. When the two countries are at war, his meeting with Zhong Jianhong will obviously cause unnecessary suspicion, although he is the righteous brother of the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong, but in the military camp of the Great Zhou, he will inevitably fall into a suspicious battle of words.

Gao Chengde didn't hesitate at any time about Ling Tianyun's instructions, he just opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word. He took the man in black with the other soldiers, and although the eyes of the other soldiers flashed with confusion and doubt, he didn't explain a word.

Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng walked towards the outside of the camp in light clothes, and they didn't know Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and the others. is obviously a little sensitive to his identity, no matter how Chai Rong or Zhao Kuangyin protects him, he is a native of the Northern Han Dynasty after all, and it is difficult to guarantee that other generals will have suspicions against him.

Ling Tianyun's face was very heavy, he didn't expect Zhong Jianhong to give such a hand, this was obviously a plan arranged by Zhong Jianhong, so that the warriors of the Zhong family would come to him to meet him. And this matter will definitely spread in the Zhou camp, although his situation will not be affected by anything, but the soldiers of the Great Zhou and other generals who do not know him will definitely be suspicious of him, but he is speechless, obviously not yet officially on the battlefield, the confrontation between him and Zhong Jianhong began, and he obviously lost this battle.

"It looks like your identity has been exposed, and the other party is forcing you to show up, and it looks like the other party is the first to move. We can only see the moves, we don't have to go so much, the real battle will not start until tomorrow, as long as the battle is won, the other party will not help anything. Ye Yinfeng's eyes shone brightly, and he expressed the concerns in Ling Tianyun's heart in one word.

"It can only be like this, that Zhong Jianhong's methods are indeed clever, and one trick will put me at a disadvantage. I don't know what tricks he will have tomorrow, when I was in Lanzhou, I found out that this person was deep and scheming, and he used me to hurt Zhong Huangyu. ”

The two of them talked lightly, and they had already come to the side of a dense forest, which was dark and terrifying, and from the forest there was a chilling chill. There was silence all around, and the forest was like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to enter.

"Brother Zhong, Ling Tianyun was ordered to come to the appointment, show up quickly." Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng did not enter the dense forest, but stood beside the dense forest. Ling Tianyun looked around for a while, and then shouted loudly, he and Ye Yinfeng would not go stupidly towards the dense forest, the ghost knows how many masters the Zhong family's people would ambush in that dense forest.

"Ha, ha, ha, Brother Ling has always been a master of art and bold, how can a small dense forest scare Brother Ling." A long laugh came out of the dense forest, and then a person walked out of the dense forest, with a slender figure and starry eyes, who was Zhong Jianhong, the young master of the Zhong family.

"I haven't seen Brother Zhong for a few months, but he still has the same demeanor, when will he become the head of the Zhong family, don't forget the great achievement of the younger brother." Ling Tianyun raised his head and snorted, and couldn't help but quip. He didn't know why Zhong Jianhong had asked him to come to the appointment office this time, he just said nonsense casually.

"Where can I compare to Brother Ling, it's only been a few months, Brother Ling has already become a famous big man in the rivers and lakes, and he is even more popular in the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhong can't help but be jealous. If Zhong can have such an achievement as Brother Ling, where will he still take the head of the Zhong family in his eyes. β€œ

"Okay, Brother Zhong, you and I are so familiar with each other, there is no need to lift each other, I don't know why Brother Zhong asked the younger brother to come. If you want the younger brother to help, the younger brother must go to the soup and the fire, and he must take Brother Zhong as the leader. ”

Ling Tianyun's mouth was full of gibberish, and even Ye Yinfeng had goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. People who don't know them well will think that they must be the kind of best friends who share life and death, but in their words of mutual compliment, they are-for-tat, and the words are clichΓ©d.
