Ling Chen acknowledged and walked out to pass the message.
Ling Tian's face turned serious as he looked at Ling Jian, "Ah Jian, since the first three targets have been decided, who is the fourth target?"
Ling Jian revealed a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Cough cough, the fourth target's strength seems to be insignificant. Thus, he is only a backup target in their plan. Because Grand Marshal Ling is always heavily guarded, even the most intricate plan may not succeed. Thus, they decided that if they really can't assassinate Grand Marshal Ling, they will kill another person and shift the blame to him, creating chaos in Sky Bearing. However, this person is too easy to assassinate. Thus, the reward for killing him is half of the other three! "
Ling Tian's eyes widened and he finally burst out into laughter, "Ling Jian, since the fourth target is so weak, it should be your young noble, right?"
Ling Jian also burst out into laughter, "That's right, it should be young noble! Young noble actually has no chance to enter the top three, and furthermore … "
"Furthermore, the reward is half of the others!" Ling Tian said with indignation. "Is this young noble so worthless?" He felt a little depressed in his heart. The others were worth 100,000 taels of silver, but he was only worth 50,000 taels of silver! The most despicable thing is that he didn't even enter the top three, and was only a backup target. They are looking down on me too much!
Ling Jian held onto his stomach as he laughed out loud, gasping for breath. When he first received this news, he, Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, and Chi almost fainted from laughter. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but burst out into laughter.
Ling Tian scolded with hatred, but laughed, "This plan is actually not bad. I only just realized that I am actually such an important character! To actually be able to have such a huge impact, I am truly honored! I am too honored! When the time comes, let's see who will be honored enough to assassinate me! "
At this moment, Ling Chen walked in. After hearing Ling Jian's explanation, she couldn't help but laugh so hard that she bent over. "This Northern Wei Crown Prince is too funny. Young Master, when it comes to you, it's actually reduced by half. Haha, I'm dying of laughter."
"In terms of strategy alone, it's not funny at all!" Ling Tian's face turned solemn, "While this plan is crazy, the moment we succeed in assassinating Yu ManTian and Yu BingYan, all the major powers in Chengtian would be dragged into this mess and would not be able to extricate themselves from it! As for me or my father, if something were to happen to either of us, it would definitely cause an uproar in the Sky Bearing Empire! If something were to happen to my father, the Sky Bearing Army would be like a group of dragons without a leader and would definitely descend into chaos. If you were to kill me, "Ling Tian let out a smile," my father would definitely not have the heart to fight. At that time, if they were to push the blame onto the Yang Family, even without the Northern Wei attacking, Sky Bearing would be torn apart! There wouldn't be the slightest bit of separation from the enemy! At that time, all the major families would be dragged into this mess and unable to fend for themselves. The Northern Wei would then be able to make use of this heaven-sent opportunity to defeat or even swallow up Sky Bearing! "
"This plan is truly vicious!" As Ling Jian heard Ling Tian's explanation, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"While it's vicious," Ling Chen revealed a thoughtful expression. "However, this plan has a huge loophole. How would Wei Chengping overlook it? How would such a careless person have any chance of success? "
"Oh? Tell me about it. "Ling Tian couldn't help but smile as he looked towards Ling Chen, encouraging her.
"This loophole was originally the highlight of the entire plan — Tamago! The Northern Wei's prince plotting against Yu ManTian and Yu BingYan to incite the entire situation was originally the strongest and most crucial point. However, it was also the loophole of the entire plan!
For such a huge plan, even our people were able to find out about it. If that's the case, with Tamago's entrenched influence in the Northern Wei, as well as the number one family with thousands of years of history, how would they be able to hide it from them? If Tamago were to find out that Wei Chengping wanted to assassinate Yu ManTian and Yu BingYan, the Northern Wei's royal family would probably be annihilated by Tamago before the assassination could even take place! With Tamago's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do such a thing. Why would there be such an obvious loophole?! "Ling Chen furrowed her brows as she pointed at Ling Tian.
"That's right, this is also a question that I am unable to answer!" Ling Tian clapped his hands and stood up. "Since even we have received news about it, there is no reason for Tamago to not know about it! Since that's the case, why would Wei Chengping insist on carrying out such a crazy plan? There is only one reason, "Ling Tian turned around abruptly with a burning gaze." Wei Chengping definitely has something to rely on! This' reliance 'even has the strength to go against Tamago. However, there are simply too few people with such strength. Who could it be? This matter still needs to be investigated! "
"Perhaps there is another reason for this matter?" Ling Jian furrowed his brows. "I don't think that Tamago would be able to find out about this news! After all, in order to arrange for this person to enter the Northern Wei's royal palace, we had spent so much effort! We had also paid a huge price before we were able to enter. All these years, in order to allow him to come into contact with the inner workings of the Northern Wei's royal palace, we had spent countless amounts of money to pave the way for him. Thus, Tamago might not be able to find out about this news! "
"It's not that he might not be able to find out! He definitely knows! "Ling Tian continued," Don't underestimate Tamago! A family with a thousand years of history is definitely not an ordinary power! It is impossible for Tamago to not know about this matter! This matter is far too strange. For Wei Chengping to actually risk Tamago's wrath, this matter is definitely worth thinking about! However, regardless of whether Tamago knows or not, we have to treat it as though Tamago doesn't know about this matter! If we were to screw up and allow them to get their hands on it, our entire plan would be in chaos! It would definitely disrupt our entire plan! "
"Ah ah, regardless of whether the Northern Wei has a strong backing or not, and regardless of whether Tamago knows or not, with young noble leading us in Sky Bearing, this assassination attempt by the Blood Slaughter Pavilion will definitely fail! This is something that I can guarantee! "Ling Jian said with confidence. Assassinate the young noble? Wasn't this a joke? Even if Tamago's family head were to personally take action, he might not be able to achieve this impossible goal!
Hearing Ling Jian's arrogant words, Ling Tian frowned and was about to reprimand him when he saw Ling Chen nodding her head in agreement. It was as though Ling Jian's words were true!
Ling Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The confidence these people had in him was just too strong! Weren't they too blind?!
In truth, before meeting Ye QingChen, Ling Tian was also extremely arrogant, looking down on all the heroes in the world. However, after that battle, Ling Tian knew that there was always someone better than him. While Ye QingChen was only slightly stronger than him, and Ling Tian even had the ability to kill Ye QingChen, how would he know that there wasn't anyone stronger than Ye QingChen?!
"Pass down my second order!" Ling Tian took two steps forward and said, "Order Ling Six to record all the news in the north, especially the news in Tamago, and report it to me as soon as possible!"
"Ling Jian! I will think of a way to monitor Yu ManTian's whereabouts and contact you at any time. The moment there is any abnormality, you must ensure that Yu ManTian will not be harmed. This fellow is truly a good person. Unless there is no other choice, do not give up on him! Furthermore, the agreement with Yu ManTian cannot be delayed. We must raise the strength of the five brats in the shortest amount of time possible! "Ling Tian frowned and thought for a long time before giving out this order. Sighing lightly, he said, "Actually, with Yu ManTian's strength, there is no need for him to be protected by others. However, Yu ManTian has two fatal weaknesses. First, his killing intent is not strong and his methods are not ruthless enough! Every time he fights, he will always carry the attitude of a martial artist. When facing an assassin who kills without batting an eyelid, he will easily fall into the trap of others if he is not careful! Secondly, Yu ManTian's character is extremely rash and he will easily fall into the trap of his enemies! He will fall into a trap of death! "
"As long as we grasp these two weaknesses of Yu ManTian, killing him will be as easy as flipping our palms! Thus, we must be careful! "Ling Jian hurriedly agreed. Although he did not know what method the young noble would use to monitor Yu ManTian's whereabouts, as long as the young noble said something, there was nothing that could not be done!
However, he did not know that Ling Tian had his eyes set on Gu XiYan from the Smoky Thea Tower. Yu ManTian was currently staying in the Smoky Thea Tower and it would be too easy for Gu XiYan to monitor his whereabouts!
Right now, Ling Tian could not be a hundred percent sure that Ye BaiFei and the rest were from the Blood Slaughter Pavilion. If they were, then things would be much simpler. After all, Ye BaiFei had just been heavily injured by Ling Tian and it would be impossible for him to make any big moves in such a short period of time! But regarding this matter, Ling Tian did not dare to be certain!
"Chen 'er will be responsible for Yu BingYan's safety!" Ling Tian said. Ling Chen smiled and agreed.
"As for my father's side, hehehe," Ling Tian's face revealed a cold smile. "Let the Blood Slaughter Pavilion go and meet with a huge rebuff! We don't need to worry about anything else. "
Ling Jian smiled knowingly.
One had to know that Ling Xiao was the commander of a country and was constantly on the battlefield. His life and death could be decided in an instant. As his own son, how could Ling Tian not worry? A few years ago, Ling Tian had already made arrangements through Old Lady Ling. He wanted to ensure that Ling Xiao's safety was impregnable. Even if he were to face a hundred thousand strong army, the defeated Ling Xiao should have at least an eighty percent chance of survival. Thus, Ling Tian was not worried in the slightest! In terms of martial arts, even if the strength of Ling Xiao's First Pavilion could not compare to Ling Jian's First Pavilion, the difference would not be too great!
