In the third year of the Great Zhou Guangshun, October 28, the day of Bingzi,

On this day, the imperial capital Bianliang finally ushered in the long-lost winter sun, and a touch of red and blood-like morning sun emitted a dazzling light, swaying from the east, sweeping away the haze over this ancient imperial capital. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the sky is washed by the belated morning sun, and there is not a single cloud in the sky. And the thick white mist that shrouded in this imperial capital city was swept away by the red morning sun and gradually dispersed. The imperial capital finally regained its former majestic posture, standing firmly in the hinterland of the Central Plains like a thousand-year-old divine beast.

This day is the penultimate day of the year, and after tomorrow, a new year begins. The entire imperial capital is filled with a touch of joy and tranquility, and the red lanterns can be seen everywhere, and pedestrians in new clothes can be seen everywhere buying New Year's goods. In the streets and alleys, there are many people, hugging each other, and their faces show a long-lost joy, whether it is a prayer for the arrival of the New Year, or a long-lost winter appearance.

When Da Liu came to the headquarters of the Flying Sparrow Battalion with Lao Li, who was his back, the warm red sun had already risen into the air. And his figure was stretched long and narrow by the sunlight, and the body behind him was illuminated by the blinding red light. With the warmth of the morning sun under his feet, he kicked the gate of the courtyard open. And the courtyard in the midst of the shouts suddenly became extremely silent, and the sound of a needle falling could be heard. And the eyes of the dozens of thick men instantly showed an unkind gaze, looking at Da Liu, who was carrying a cold body on his back.

When Zhao Kuangyin reported this bad news, he was fighting with Ling Tianyun in the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, and the Panlong Stick in his hand didn't know what material it was made of, and its hardness was comparable to the Xingze Treasure Knife in Ling Tianyun's hand. When the two weapons collided, they emitted only a series of lightning flashes, and the two weapons did not cause any damage at all.

Facing the rising morning sun and swirling mist, they don't know how many rounds they have fought each other, but their moves are wide open and close. Shen Xiong's strong wind swept away the dead branches near the courtyard, and shook the snow on the dead branches that had not yet melted to the ground. The two agile figures have an incomparably strong body, like a majestic and steady mountain, and still rooted in the pine in the deep soil.

But the onlookers were the Yellow River Siyi and the amnesiac Bingqing Yujie Dugu Aoxue, their eyes also showed a strong fighting spirit, and they were all eager to try, and they also wanted to warm up last time. But when they saw the two leopard-like figures and the fierce aura like overturning the river and the sea, they all showed a little admiration from their eyes. Although the Four Righteousness of the Yellow River is the disciple of the Zhao family, they have extraordinary knowledge after all, especially Yuan Shicheng, the boss of the Four Righteousness of the Yellow River, has extremely sharp vision, he didn't expect that this is not related to Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts cultivation realm is so strong, and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Ling Tianyun is even more amazing in cultivation.

When Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun came to the headquarters of the Flying Bird Battalion, they were stunned for a moment, but they saw dozens of sturdy men lying crookedly in the courtyard, and a man in civilian clothes was sitting coldly on the long wooden bench with a saber in his hand. The man's face was cold, his eyes were bursting with fierce lightning from time to time, and his thin face was like a knife, revealing a majestic temperament, and the man didn't blink his eyes when he saw Zhao Kuangyin enter the door.

His heart sank, and Zhao Kuangyin saw Lao Li lying not far from the man, almost covered in blood, only the dark face was intact. Ling Tianyun's heart also trembled, he didn't expect that this swarthy man who was as strong as a mountain had already died of anger. He also had a good impression of this dark-skinned man, but he didn't expect that it was just a few faces, but the other party encountered an accident.

"But what's the clue?" Zhao Kuangyin walked straight in front of the man, his face was slightly angry, and he asked the man. Obviously, he knew this man well, and he knew him very well, he did not have the usual politeness and etiquette, but just asked questions directly.

The man did not answer, and threw a long knife from behind him. The long knife "clanged" and landed at the feet of Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun. Ling Tianyun's eyes condensed slightly, this knife was not the same as ordinary knives, with a slight curved arc, he also knew this knife, this was the scimitar weapon used by the Khitan people. Looking at the bloodstained scimitar, an incomparably indignant sense of pathos suddenly permeated his chest, giving him an urge to let out a long howl.

"Check it out yourself, I'm leaving." Da Liu looked at the dozens of strong men lying on the ground wailing with disdainful eyes, and just said lightly to Zhao Kuangyin. And he stood up from the long bench, brushed the messy clothes on his body, and finally didn't look at Zhao Kuangyin, and slowly walked out of the gate of the courtyard. Ling Tianyun felt that the man's steps were extremely heavy, and step by step, he brought a burst of sounds that went straight to his heart, echoing in this courtyard for a long time.

"He is Da Liu, a catcher in Jingzhao Kaifeng Mansion, and he is also Lao Li's brother, he and A Lai and Lao Li used to be the best brothers. It's just that for some reason, he has become a catcher, but he didn't expect that he would have such a big prejudice against the Flying Sparrow Camp, and as soon as he entered this door, he taught these members a hard lesson. A trace of incomparable loss flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he explained to Ling Tianyun.

When Ling Tianyun heard Zhao Kuangyin's explanation, he felt that Da Liu was not an ordinary catcher. He felt the fluctuation of the true yuan from that big Liu's body, although it was vague, he still felt it quickly. That Da Liu is definitely a martial arts master, judging from the tone of his conversation with Zhao Kuangyin, the other party does not treat Zhao Kuangyin very much, and he is not afraid of him. There must be something secret between him and Zhao Kuangyin, since Zhao Kuangyin didn't say it, he can't ask anything.

Fiercely directed the members of the flying sparrow who were beaten to the ground, Zhao Kuangyin explained some things and left. Facing the rising winter sun, Ling Tianyun's heart was like being blocked, a man who was both loyal and righteous was gone, and this Flying Bird Camp was about to fall apart, he couldn't figure out who targeted the Flying Bird Camp at this time, he didn't know what the real purpose of the person behind the scenes was, whether it was against the second brother Zhao Kuangyin or the eldest brother Chai Rong.

The white fog shrouded in the imperial capital of Bianliang was finally expelled by the gradually rising winter sun, and the entire Bianliang City was filled with a fresh and warm atmosphere. The dense fog of this Bianliang City was expelled, but the fog that shrouded the hearts of Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun was getting stronger and stronger. At first, it was Alai's disappearance, and at this time, Lao Li's murder seemed to be premeditated, but they didn't know anything about the mastermind, and they didn't even know what the other party's next move would be.

"The system is born after death, and it stands after it is broken." Zhao Kuangyin's tiger eyes shot out a majestic light like the world, his gaze met the sunlight coming from the sky, and in an instant, Ling Tianyun couldn't tell which was the sunlight that came from the sky, and where was the ambitious gaze of his second brother Zhao Kuangyin.

"What's next?" Ling Tianyun couldn't help but ask Zhao Kuangyin, he didn't want those Khitan spies hidden in the imperial capital to get away with it. He also has the blood of the Han people in his body, and he also has the same hatred in his heart for foreign barbarians. With such strange things appearing one after another, although Ling Tianyun didn't have any way for a while, he still hoped that the second brother could think of a perfect solution.

"Let's go back to the house first and then talk about it slowly, alas!" Zhao Kuangyin felt uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't help but whip his horse quickly and gallop his horse. Layers of flying ae rolled up on the road, and Ling Tianyun felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't help but clamp his legs and quickly chased after Zhao Kuangyin.

Back at Zhao Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly found Ma Chenghui, who was left in the Zhao Mansion, and the Yellow River Siyi was also there. Immediately, he told the ins and outs of the matter. Everyone present was silent, they were all ordinary knights, but they had never had any experience in handling cases.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at everyone and said to everyone: "I hope one of you will be responsible for this matter, my goal is too big, and it is easy to attract the attention of others." And this matter is only a new face to investigate, in that case the target will not be too big, so I have to help you. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but frown their eyebrows tighter, while Ling Tianyun had a calm face, he knew that this matter was extremely tricky, that the Yellow River Siyi was just a martial arts cultivator, but he was not good at handling cases, especially about the war and disputes between the Great Zhou and the Khitan. Moreover, they only came to the Zhao Mansion under the entrustment of a strange Taoist priest, and since then they have not seen any signs of their contribution, and I believe that the Zhao family does not have the strength to allow them to help with all their might. Ma Chenghui is just a bandit, he is stronger than ordinary mortals, but in the face of ruthless enemy spies, he will inevitably be defeated.

Seeing everyone's expressions of contemplation, Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart, he knew that only Ling Tianyun could do this matter alone, find out the real culprit and dig out the spies hidden in the imperial capital. However, he originally wanted to introduce Ling Tianyun into the Flying Sparrow Camp, but this matter had to be a good opportunity. If he could find out the real culprit and capture the enemy spies hidden in the imperial capital, then Ling Tianyun would also make a great contribution to the Flying Sparrow Battalion, and joining the Flying Sparrow Camp would be a matter of course.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin turned his gaze to himself, Ling Tianyun stood up and said to everyone: "Second brother, find out the real murderer and find out the Khitan spies, and the younger brother is willing to sacrifice the work of dogs and horses." In the near future, Lao Li and the Flying Bird Battalion will be given an explanation. ”

Seeing Ling Tianyun standing up, Zhao Kuangyin knew what Ling Tianyun was going to say, and after listening to the other party's words, of course he still said politely. Seeing that everyone had no opinions, he settled the matter, and Ma Chenghui also became Ling Tianyun's assistant. Ling Tianyun asked Zhao An, the family of the Zhao family, to come over again, after all, Zhao An was a living imperial capital, and many things could be dealt with by Zhao An, and it could also save him a lot of trouble.

Zhao Kuangyin did not refuse Ling Tianyun's request, he knew what Ling Tianyun was thinking. Zhao An is not only the best guide, but also a person who is exquisite, and he knows the customs of Bianliang well, and the most important thing is that Zhao An is familiar with the geographical environment of Bianliang in autumn.

"Brother Xian, I've really wronged you, the second brother can't take a break during this time, and he has to pay close attention to the palace, and the eldest brother has been in the palace for a few days, and there is still no good news. The second brother will enter the palace to take turns in the past two days, firstly, to better inquire about the news of the eldest brother and the emperor, and secondly, to find out some clues from those ministers. It's just that these days, the virtuous brother should remember to be more careful in everything, do your best, although the case is big, but the life of the family is more important. In addition, you can also go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Da Liu, I believe he hopes to solve the case as soon as possible and avenge Lao Li. ”

Zhao Kuangyin dismissed the Yellow River Siyi, left Ling Tianyun and Ma Chenghui behind, and he said solemnly to Ling Tianyun. Then he confessed to Ma Chenghui's instructions, although Ma Chenghui was just a thief, he had already recognized Zhao Kuangyin as the master, so he didn't want Ma Chenghui to make any mistakes.

Although Ma Chenghui knew that Zhao Kuangyin didn't pay much attention to himself, he had never had a chance to express himself, so this time he was ordered to assist Ling Tianyun, so he gladly accepted. Of course, he wants to make meritorious contributions in front of his master, his martial arts are low, and only by relying on a tenacious mind will Zhao Kuangyin look at him differently, so this time no matter what, he has to perform well, and he will never let Zhao Kuangyin despise him again.

On this day, the imperial capital Bianliang was sunny for thousands of miles, and Ling Tianyun was ordered to be in danger, but his heart was covered with a thick haze.
