In just a few days, an exciting news spread rapidly in Jingyang City-

Han Bing, the eldest son of His Majesty Emperor Dayu, broke into the enemy country alone and showed his might.

first burned the Beirong Palace, and then defeated Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Beirong Praetorian Guard, on the overpass.

In the end, even the bridge that the Beirong people were proud of and said to be indestructible was also destroyed into a pile of broken wood and scrap metal by this cold ice boy, and it was in front of countless Beirong Guards.

After hearing such a happy good news, the people of Dayu naturally felt proud and happy.

At the same time, the image of Han Bing, who has always been recognized as a complete swinger, has also changed greatly in the minds of everyone.

So naturally, people began to compare this young hero who had just emerged with the world's number one master back then, the arrow god Ling Tian.

The arrow god Ling Tian, as the name suggests, is of course famous for the legendary parting arrow.

What about the Ice Boy? Where did his martial arts come from, and who did he learn from?

So then, very logically, people began to have a heated discussion about Han Bing's martial arts, and along with it, the mystery of his life experience quickly became a hot topic.

However, not long after, out of nowhere, there was another rumor that made it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood-

Han Bing is actually a hermit, and his martial arts are the same as the arrow god Ling Tian, both from a unique magic skill of the hermit clan - parting arrows.

Together, these rumors spread like a plague.

This claim is called a rumor because it has not yet been proven.

But since it has been accepted by a large number of people, and has been passed on spontaneously by word of mouth, of course, it is because there is something convincing in it.

First of all, the origin of the ice has indeed always been a mystery.

His biological father is His Majesty the current Emperor Leng Yiqing, so who is his biological mother? What was the reason for Leng Yiqing to abandon his wife and children back then?

These questions have existed in people's minds for a long time, but they have never been answered.

Moreover, since he killed Zhao Zhan, the former commander of the forbidden army, in the Yuanfang Guild martial arts competition, this cold ice prince has not done anything that is enough to attract attention.

Therefore, people naturally pay less attention to him, and they will no longer think about his so-called life experience that has nothing to do with him all day long.

But now that the old story is brought up again, and then linked to that rumor, that is, with the hermits, all the mysteries seem to be solved.

If Han Bing's mother was a hermit, she naturally knew that giving birth to a white-haired baby would completely reveal her identity. So, she could no longer hide the truth, so she had to confess everything to her husband's family.

And her husband's family was afraid of being affected, so they kicked her out of the house with a letter of resignation.

But Leng Yiqing has always been obsessed with this hermit wife, and finally found the son Han Bing she gave birth to for him.

Guessing like this, everything makes sense.

There is another thing that can also provide strong support for this speculation.

That is, after Leng Yiqing became the new monarch of Dayu, he immediately made a name for the hermits.

Now it seems that this is all because there is indeed an inseparable family relationship between him and the hermit.

Of course, Han Bing's martial arts are also another piece of evidence that should never be ignored.

In the past hundred years, there has been only one real peerless master in Dayu, Ling Tian, an arrow god, and Ling Qiyu, a parting arrow whose martial arts no one can accurately evaluate.

And these two people are not only hermit, but also use parting arrows.

Now, Cold Ice has been born again, and he has become another peerless master who can be compared to the Arrow God Ling Tian.

This inevitably reminds people that his martial arts are likely to be from the Yin Clan, and it is likely to be a parting arrow.

In fact, for most people who believe and spread this rumor, they don't feel that there is anything wrong with it, and they don't have the slightest malice towards Hanbing.

After all, the Hidden people have never committed any unforgivable crimes against Dayu. The so-called evil clan is just the statement of the imperial court, and ordinary people do not have much agreement with it.

Therefore, whether Han Bing is a hermit or not, or even a parting arrow, it will not affect people's admiration for him as a young hero. And this statement just adds a certain legend to his feat in Beirong.

However, when this rumor became more and more widespread, and even people had already conclusively said it, those who were really sober saw something strange from it.

The decisive battle between Han Bing and Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Beirong Praetorian Guard, happened nearly a month ago. And after that, in fact, the news of this has long been transmitted back to Dayu.

But those who knew the news at the time only spread the news on a small scale. To be more precise, it is only circulated among some martial arts people, so it has not attracted too much attention.

However, this time, this news, which is not very new, suddenly spread quickly among the market, and it is obvious that someone is manipulating it behind it.

And immediately after, the rumor also spread rapidly, directly directing people's attention to the cold martial arts and life experience, which hides some kind of vicious intention.

If you think about it carefully, there are two things that this rumor really wants to tell people -

First, Han Bing is a hermit. Therefore, the reason why His Majesty the current emperor treats the hermits is not out of the so-called righteousness, but simply because his own son is a hermit.

Second, the cold ice is the parting arrow. This point has no practical significance for ordinary people. But for those who have formed a deep hatred with the parting arrow, it has already ignited the lead of revenge.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the reason why the current situation of rumors will arise must be that someone is making trouble behind the scenes, secretly playing tricks, and some people are fanning the flames and fueling the flames.

At the same time, it is not difficult to guess that behind all this, the biggest black hand is Zheng Yong, who hates the Leng father and son.

Although they knew this, the two people who were implicated - Leng Yiqing and Han Bing, chose to remain silent together for different reasons.

Leng Yiqing naturally knew that Han Bing was not a hermit, and it could not be a parting arrow.

But he can't openly admit to the world that Han Bing is not his biological son. At the same time, it is even more impossible for him to deny it with his conscience that his wife Lin Fangyin is a hermit.

And Han Bing knows that this rumor is the truth, and there is really nothing that can deny it.

So he quickly made a decision that no matter how the situation deteriorated, he could only let it go, not admit it or deny it.

Anyway, even if the Chiyang Sect Master Duxiaoqiong came, he might not really have the ability to force himself to use the parting arrow again.

In the absence of any substantiated evidence, rumors can only stop at rumors.

In fact, what Han Bing really cares about is how to find the source of the spread of this rumor, and use it to catch Zheng Yong's subordinates or accomplices.

So, he secretly went to Liao Jingdong, the Shunfeng Hall Master of the Loyalty Alliance, and asked him to investigate the matter on his behalf.

This time, there was no need for Han Bing to use any threats and inducements, and Liao Jingdong agreed without hesitation.

The reason why Boss Liao, who has always been shrewd, is willing to do this seemingly completely thankless thing is not because of his fear of cold ice, but because he sincerely wants to help him.

Because a long time ago, Liao Jingdong had noticed that Zheng Yong and Shen Qingluo seemed to have a lot of contact in private, and the person who delivered the message in the middle was Wu Yuan.

It's just that Liao Jingdong didn't know the identity of Shen Qingluo's secret spy in the north at that time, so he thought that Zheng Yong was conspiring with Shen Qingluo and wanted to find an opportunity to seize the position of Xue Youyou's alliance leader.

But after Zheng Yong and that Wu Yuan disappeared one after another, and Shen Qingluo also disappeared suddenly, and it was finally confirmed that he had fled back to Beirong, Liao Jingdong recalled what he had seen and heard in the dark, and he had some idea in his heart, Zheng Yong was probably colluding with the northerners through Shen Qingluo.

As a Dayu person, especially as an extremely wealthy profiteer who loves money like his life, Liao Jingdong naturally hates those northerners who are eyeing Dayu all day long and are ready to ride south at any time to burn and loot on Dayu's land.

As for Zheng Yong, the old eunuch who has been secretly colluding with the northerners and wants to betray Dayu, Liao Jingdong is of course full of hatred and hostility.

So as soon as he heard Han Bing's request, Liao Jingdong, who had always been cautious and slippery, did not shirk it in the slightest, and even sent his secret spies to investigate the ins and outs of the rumor in detail.
