"Xiao family's reason for coming is actually because they heard that General Ling won a huge victory over Western Han. They specially sent someone to congratulate you." Ling Jian had a strange expression on his face.
"What a lousy reason!" Ling Tian snorted, "However, a lousy reason is still better than no reason at all!"
"The reason for the envoys from Western Han and Eastern Zhao is even more ridiculous. They actually came to offer their condolences to Nangong Lok! Since when did Nangong Lok become such a big shot?! "Ling Jian's expression became even more interesting. By the side, Ling Chen also burst out into laughter.
"Err …" Ling Tian's face contorted a little before he finally let out a laugh, "I really did not expect that Nangong Lok actually had such a huge face! Admirable! Admirable! "
What he was admiring was not how big the face of Nangong Lok was, but how thick the skin of Western Han and Eastern Zhao was!
Any other reason would be a hundred times better than this! However, these two families had chosen the most disgusting reason to do so! It was obvious that they did not place Sky Bearing in their eyes. Furthermore, it was obvious that they were filled with enmity.
"Pei!" Ling Tian spat viciously, "Shouldn't they also go to Southern Zheng to offer their condolences to Nangong Lok? Nangong Lok only died in Sky Bearing. Even if he was buried in Sky Bearing, it would only stain the soil of Sky Bearing! Western Han and Eastern Zhao, these two small countries, actually dared to be so arrogant! It seems like their ambitions are endless. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will really cause trouble. "
"Northern Wei, Meng Lige … ah ah ah, the one who came was actually him." Ling Tian said with a smile.
Ling Chen asked curiously, "Young noble, does this Meng Lige know young noble? Is he someone like Mr. Ye? "
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Chen 'er, you're overestimating Meng Lige. How many people in this world can be compared to Brother Ye? That Meng Lige was also a character. Not only was his intelligence outstanding, but he was also a divine strategist. He was known as one of the great experts of the present age. Especially … that Meng Lige was Qin Da's junior brother. The two of them came from the same sect. They are all disciples of the Great Scholar Qu Xiansheng. "
Ling Jian and Ling Chen both let out a long 'oh'.
Ling Tian looked up at the sky and seemed to be making a decision. His face was gloomy and bright. Finally, he smiled and said, "Forget it, let nature take its course."
Ling Jian and Ling Chen looked at each other in confusion. Ling Tian then asked, "Ling Jian, how far are these people from Sky Bearing?"
Ling Jian thought for a moment and said, "Meng Lige from the Northern Wei is probably already in Sky Bearing. As for the representatives from the other families, more than half of them should be here by tonight. At the latest, they should all be here by tomorrow morning!"
"Meng Lige is already in Sky Bearing?" Ling Tian was surprised. "The Nangong family and the Northern Wei are about the same distance from Sky Bearing, right? Why is it that the Nangong family who lost their son is not as active as the Northern Wei? It is actually Meng Lige who arrived first? This is not right! Something is very wrong! Ling Jian, investigate! Investigate this matter as soon as possible! "
Ling Tian instinctively felt that the actions of the Northern Wei were out of his expectations. No matter what, the Northern Wei should not be ahead of the Nangong family. However, the truth was that the Northern Wei had arrived first!
There must be something fishy about this matter! There must be another reason for this!
"Inform the Violent Wind Gang to send all of them out. Investigate every single detail of these people who came to the capital! Not a single one can be left out! "When Ling Tian said that, his tone was extremely heavy and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation. Ling Jian knew what Ling Tian's tone meant and hurriedly bowed in agreement!
Ling Tian placed his hands behind his back and paced around the room. As though he thought of something, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Ling Chen, where is Jade Princess?"
Ling Chen replied, "I heard that she went to Miss Wei's house. I heard that Miss Wei XuanXuan was grounded by Madam Wei because she came to our Ling family a few times." As she said that, she looked at Ling Tian with a mischievous smile.
Eh! Ling Tian opened his eyes wide and said speechlessly, "Being famous is really tiring."
Ling Chen chuckled and Ling Jian could not help but smile as well.
The sun was setting and the sky was filled with rosy clouds.
Outside the southern gates of Sky Bearing, a huge cloud of dust could be seen and the sound of galloping horses could be heard. Yellow sand flew into the air. A group of elite cavalrymen dressed in black appeared outside the Sky Bearing City like ghosts from hell!
The person in the lead raised his right hand and the cavalrymen stopped in an orderly manner. Their actions were uniform and there were no unnecessary movements. It was obvious that the cavalrymen were extremely disciplined and different from the rest. However, no matter how orderly their actions were, the cloud of dust could not help but spread out in all directions. The cavalrymen were like a whirlpool in the ocean.
Outside the city gates, Yang Lei and Yang Zheng who had been waiting for a long time cupped their fists and bowed, "Nangong's Second Master has come from afar and my Sky Bearing Yang Family has been waiting for you for a long time. Please forgive us for not going out to welcome you."
The person who waved his hand to signal for the cavalrymen to stop had a black face with thick eyebrows and large eyes. His face was full of beard and his face was filled with muscles. He had a ferocious look and held a black horsewhip in his hands. From afar, he looked like a chimpanzee sitting on a horse.
He rolled his eyes and did not get down from his horse. Instead, he looked down and asked, "Where is Yang KongQun? Why is he not here to welcome me? Is he looking down on me? "His tone was filled with interrogative intent. The dissatisfaction on his face was also obvious, as though he was furious that the head of the Yang Family did not come out to welcome him personally.
Yang Lei's face froze. Preposterous! Your Nangong family came from afar to Sky Bearing as guests and I am the eldest young master of the Yang Family. While Yang Zheng is a servant, he is also my father's trusted aide. For the both of us to come out to welcome you personally is already giving your Nangong family a lot of face. How dare you be so rude! He was about to explode in anger!
Yang Zheng hurriedly took a step forward and said with a smile, "Our family head is currently making arrangements in the residence to capture the culprit who dared to assassinate young noble Nangong Lok. Now that we have some leads, we are unable to come out personally. I hope Second Master can forgive us." As he said that, he shot a glance at Yang Lei, telling him not to act rashly.
"Hahaha … some leads? Capture the culprit? What a joke! " Nangong TianHu let out a sorrowful laugh, "It would be weird if your Yang Family is able to capture the real culprit!" The meaning behind his words was clear. Your Yang Family is the real culprit! Why are you still acting so hypocritical? ...
Yang Zheng was also confused. However, he was an intelligent person and pretended to laugh bitterly, "I'm afraid that there is a huge misunderstanding here. I am here on the orders of the family head to invite Second Master to the Yang Residence for a discussion and an explanation."
Nangong TianHu chuckled and mocked, "After this old man dies, your Yang Family will capture the culprit again? Hahaha, what a joke! What a joke! " Suddenly, his expression turned serious, "We do not live in the Yang Family. Go back and tell Duke Yang that this old man will personally pay a visit tomorrow! If my niece suffers any grievances in the Yang Family, humph, humph! "
Without waiting for Yang Zheng and Yang Lei to reply, he swung the horsewhip in his hand and pointed it forward. With a loud crack, Nangong TianHu shouted, "Enter the city!"
The black cavalry was like a flood of steel, rolling past Yang Lei and Yang Zheng. Occasionally, there would be gazes from the cavalry that would stop on the two of them. Those gazes were bone-chilling and filled with deep hatred.
The guards at the city gates all had ashen faces. When had they ever seen such a majestic and mighty cavalry?
Yang Lei and Yang Zheng looked at each other. Yang Zheng's expression was calm, but there was a hint of worry on his face. Yang Lei's face was green, and he was so angry that his body was trembling. Even his voice was trembling, "What an arrogant old man! How dare he be so unreasonable! "
Yang Zheng let out a sigh, "If he was really so arrogant, then things would be much easier to deal with. I'm afraid that he is just pretending to be arrogant. If that's the case … the situation would be extremely serious!"
Yang Lei was someone with great ambition but little talent. Just when he was about to ask, the sound of hooves could be heard from within the city. A group of cavalry rode over leisurely. The person at the front was dressed in a white robe and a golden crown. His face was like jade and his eyes were like the stars. He was handsome beyond compare. He was the eldest young noble of the Ling family, Ling Tian!
What made the two of them unhappy was that in the embrace of young noble Ling, there was actually a peerless beauty dressed in white. Her smile was as bright as a spring flower.
Ling Tian also had a stomach full of depression. The Xiao family sent a messenger pigeon to inform him that the guests were about to arrive in Sky Bearing. Old Lady Ling then sent Ling Tian out to receive the guests. At the same time, she instructed him sternly, "Take good care of Miss Xiao. If you don't do it well, you will be punished according to the family rules!"
Helpless, Ling Tian could only bring Ling Chen out to receive the guests. He even carried Ling Chen onto his horse. While Ling Chen felt that this was inappropriate, she had never objected to Ling Tian's decisions. Besides, while she was unwilling to do so, she was actually happy in her heart! Along the way, they had attracted the attention of everyone. However, in front of the number one silkpants, Ling Tian, no one dared to point out anything! This caused Ling Chen's jade-like face to turn into the color of a rose. Helpless, she could only bury her face in Ling Tian's embrace. However, in her heart, she wished that this moment would last forever.
Ling Tian seemed as though he did not see Yang Zheng and Yang Lei by the city gates. With a wave of his horsewhip, the guards of the Ling House behind him immediately rushed out, each of them carrying a bucket of water! In a split second, the entire area outside the city gates was filled with water. In that instant, a wave of fresh air blew over, giving off an indescribable sense of comfort.
There were even a few people who came out, laying out a thick red carpet on the ground that had yet to dry. They then set up a large parasol, and under the parasol, there was even an exquisite jade table. On the table, there were a few plates of freshly washed fruits. Under the setting sun, the fruits gave off an alluring luster. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
