"Lass Chen, this young noble has been annoyed by your lousy tune and is extremely tired. Quickly go in and make the bed. This young noble wants to rest for a while. Hurry!" Ling Tian opened his mouth at an untimely moment.
Xiao YanXue was almost angered to death, "Such a wonderful piece of work is actually ruined like this. This darn Ling Tian, I …" She wanted to explode on the spot, but this was the Ling family, and Ling Chen was indeed Ling Tian's servant. No matter how he ordered his servant, she had no right to say anything!
"Miss Xiao, my young noble has something to instruct Ling Chen, so please do as you wish!" Ling Chen bowed slightly. While it was the bow of a servant, there was a different elegance to it, and her temperament was extremely noble.
How would she be willing to see a beauty acting like a servant? Helpless, she said, "Sister Ling Chen is too courteous. YanXue was too rash this time and will take my leave. I hope that I will have the fortune to listen to sister's celestial music again!"
Looking at Xiao YanXue's graceful figure disappearing from the courtyard, Ling Tian could not help but chuckle. He then turned around and walked back into the room, saying, "What a close shave! I almost let Xiao YanXue get hold of my weakness. "
Ling Chen smiled gently, "Young noble, actually even if Miss Xiao knows, it wouldn't be a big deal. Didn't the Xiao family's old head already know that young noble is extraordinary? Why do you have to do this? "
Ling Tian smiled, "That's not the same. While our Ling family and the Xiao family seem to be on good terms on the surface, both families have their own plans in the dark. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. Speaking of which, if not for the fact that I didn't have enough strength and was anxious to develop, I wouldn't have been willing to reveal my abilities to that old man. Now is a sensitive period, and all the powers are gathered in Sky Bearing. Xiao YanXue definitely has her reasons for coming to Sky Bearing. Even if she knew of my abilities from her grandfather, she might not have believed it. But now that she has seen it with her own eyes and knows about my abilities, the Xiao family's plans will probably target our Ling family. Hehe, Chen 'er, could it be that you want me to put my entire family in danger just to win the heart of a beautiful woman? "
Ling Chen was startled and said coquettishly, "Young Master, you know that I didn't mean it that way."
Ling Tian chuckled and suddenly said seriously, "When awake, I wield the power of the world, and when drunk, I lie on the knees of beauties. This was the dream of all men, but there was a sequence between these two sentences! Only when you have grasped the power of the world will you be able to get drunk and lie in the lap of a beauty! Hehehe, the order in the middle cannot be wrong! "
Ling Chen responded with an 'Mmm' and nodded her head slowly, as though she was pondering over Ling Tian's words.
Ling Tian laughed heartily and leaned against the couch in the room. "Chen 'er, has there been any movement in the courtyard these days?"
"If Young Master hadn't asked, I would have almost forgotten." Ling Chen smiled. Ling Tian turned a deaf ear to her words. This was a hundred percent a joke. Ever since Ling Chen followed Ling Tian ten years ago, she had never forgotten a single thing!
Ling Chen flipped her hands like a magic trick and several small pieces of paper appeared in her hands. She opened one of them and said, "This is news from Ling Shiyi. The Young Master requested for three hundred and twenty-seven young Sparrow Hawks have been captured and are currently on the way to the courtyard."
Ling Tian smiled approvingly, "Not bad, Little Eleven is getting better and better at doing things. When he comes back, this young noble will reward him well. When you go back, teach him the set of saber techniques that he has been eyeing."
Ling Chen pursed her lips and smiled. "If Shiyi hears this news now, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep for the next few days before he arrives at the courtyard." As she said that, she opened another piece of paper. "Due to the heavy rain yesterday, these few parties will be a little slower. This is news from Ling Ba. The Western Han envoys will arrive at Sky Bearing by noon the day after tomorrow. Leading them is the number two figure of the XiMen Family, XiMen BuRuo. His assistant is the Western Han royal family's Han TieHong. Accompanying them is the number one expert of the XiMen Family, XiMen WuHen. "
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and let out a soft 'oh'.
"This is news from Ling Jiu. The people from Eastern Zhao should arrive in Sky Bearing in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. The one coming is DongFang JingLei, the younger brother of the Eastern Zhao Emperor. He is also one of the valiant generals of Eastern Zhao. The experts under him are a pair of twin brothers, He ChuLai and He ChuQu."
Ling Tian laughed. "He ChuLai? He ChuQu? The names of these two brothers are really interesting. I wonder if they look alike. How do they compare to the Xue Leng and Xue Fei brothers from Tamago? "
Ling Chen giggled as she imagined the scene of the two pairs of twins sitting together. She could not help but laugh to the point that she bent over.
Ling Tian made up his mind to find a way to let the four of them sit at the same table and look at each other to see if there was any difference between them.
"News from Ling Seven. The Wu Empire will arrive in Sky Bearing tomorrow afternoon. The envoy is the BeiMing Family's BeiMing QingTian. Accompanying him is an expert from the BeiMing Family, BeiMing Kong."
Ling Tian opened his eyes, and a divine light could be seen in his eyes, "Ah ah, these people aren't to be trifled with! This is interesting … send a message to the three of them. Send me all the information on XiMen BuRuo, XiMen WuHen, BeiMing QingTian and BeiMing Kong! "
Ling Chen agreed. "There is also news from the First Pavilion. It was sent by Ling Chi."
Ling Tian was stunned. "Why would it be Ling Chi? Where's Ling Jian? "
Ling Chen opened the letter and said with a smile, "Ling Jian sent me a letter to explain this matter. The First Pavilion accepted a mission to assassinate a wealthy merchant from Yan County, Zhang DeShuai for 100,000 taels of silver. Since Ling Jian was bored, he personally went to assassinate him."
Ling Tian burst out into laughter. "Handsome? Hahaha, now that he meets Ling Jian, he probably won't be handsome anymore. " He was never worried about Ling Jian's ability to get things done. In the past five years, Ling Jian had never disappointed him. This time would not be an exception! "Ah ah, but Ling Jian probably isn't doing this because he's bored, right? It's about time for those few fellows to break through. "Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.
Only then did Ling Chen feel that the name was interesting. She couldn't help but laugh.
Ling Tian slowly frowned. "Yan County, is it in the north? The Yan County that borders the Northern Wei? "
Ling Chen looked at him strangely. "Yes, it's that Yan County. I heard that Handsome is the tyrant of the Yan County. He usually bullies men and women, committing all kinds of crimes. He's already in his fifties, but this time, he wants to marry the only daughter of a wealthy family in a small town next to the Yan County as his concubine. The one who gave him this mission is the in-laws of that wealthy family."
Ling Tian made an 'oh' sound. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a heavy weight in his heart. He stood up and paced around the room twice, but he couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart.
"Is there still no news from Tamago's side?" Ling Tian suddenly asked without thinking.
"No, it seems like Tamago isn't interested in the matters of Sky Bearing. He didn't send any news over. Perhaps, he might not even come." Ling Chen replied.
"Oh!" Ling Tian's brows furrowed, and he began to plan in his heart. He walked another two rounds. "How long has it been since Ling Jian left?"
"Let me see." Ling Chen opened up the message sent by Ling Jian, "It was yesterday afternoon when Ling Jian left."
"Yesterday afternoon? It's less than 500 li away. With Ling Jian's speed, he should be done by now. Why is there still no news? " Ling Tian's brows furrowed even tighter, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger. He could feel his heart beating faster.
"He should have been delayed by the heavy rain. Ling Jian's martial arts have improved recently, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to assassinate a local tyrant." Ling Chen said with uncertainty. Seeing Ling Tian's expression, Ling Chen couldn't help but worry for Ling Jian.
"How can a mere heavy rain delay Ling Jian?!" Ling Tian rejected this idea. Ling Jian was a straightforward person, and Ling Tian understood him very well. He definitely wouldn't drag things out like this! Such a simple mission, how much effort would it take him? "Pass on my order to Ling Chi immediately. If there's any news about Ling Jian, report it to me immediately!"
Seeing Ling Chen turn to leave, Ling Tian called out to her. "En … inform Ling Chi that regardless of whether there's any news about Ling Jian, report it to me every hour! There's no room for delay! "
Seeing Ling Chen leave with his orders, Ling Tian slowly sat down on the chair. He felt his mind becoming more and more chaotic. This was Ling Tian's intuition. Once this feeling appeared, something big was about to happen. It worked every time, and it never went wrong.
Time passed by minute by minute. In this period of time, the number of Carrier Eagles flying back and forth between the courtyard and the Ling House had almost formed a line. All the news was the same: there was still no news about Ling Jian!
Another four hours had passed!
The uneasiness in Ling Tian's heart became more and more obvious. He suddenly stood up and decided not to wait any longer. "You stay at home, I'll go take a look." Without waiting for Ling Chen to reply, Ling Tian had already dashed out!
Xiao YanXue found the person who played the flute, but the result was like this. How could she be willing to accept this? Standing in the courtyard, she frowned slightly. Finally, she sighed softly and walked towards her room. She had the intention to buy Ling Chen from Ling Tian at a high price. But on second thought, not to mention whether Ling Tian would be willing to buy her, even if Ling Tian was really willing to buy her, her actions would be blasphemous to Ling Chen's "master". She was at a loss of what to do. Everyone in the Ling House knew that this beautiful girl was the little princess of a Xiao family. How could they dare to slight her? When they walked in front of her, they all bowed respectfully.
Suddenly, a horse's neigh sounded from the inner courtyard. Following that, a completely black horse galloped out. It was actually running at full speed in the Ling House!
Xiao YanXue looked at the person on the horse. He was wearing a white robe and a golden crown. His eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars. He was an elegant young master. If it wasn't Ling Tian, then who else could it be!
She couldn't help but spit in her heart. Sure enough, he was a dandy! He actually dared to let his horse gallop in his own house! She curled her lips in disdain. Just as she was about to turn her head, she suddenly realized that Ling Tian's expression was very strange today. She couldn't help but curiously look at his face again. However, she met Ling Tian's indifferent eyes that carried a trace of anxiety. Her heart suddenly trembled. This pair of eyes, so familiar! Where have I seen them before?
Before she had time to think, the black horse had already galloped past her. At the gate, the guards saw Ling Tian riding out aggressively. How could they dare to be negligent? They hurriedly moved to the side. The crisp sound of a whip rang out in the air. The strong horse's four hooves soared into the air. It directly leaped out of the gate and galloped away like a bolt of lightning. Flying with a splash …
