The next morning, the stage had already been cleaned up by the people from the Smoky Thea Tower. All of the aristocratic families in the Smoky Thea Tower opened their doors and windows, as though the disgusting atmosphere from last night was still present and they wanted to let the wind blow it away.
After witnessing the scene last night, all of them had lost their appetite for breakfast. It also caused them to look at the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber where Ling Tian was at to be filled with fear and respect, as well as some apprehension. The number two figure of the XiMen Family, leading his two young nobles, the number one expert of the XiMen Family, XiMen BuHui, as well as fifty iron-blooded death warriors from his family. Such a powerful force was definitely stronger than the other aristocratic families in Sky Bearing! In just one night, all of them had died without a sound. Moreover, they had been captured alive and put on an eternally embarrassing show!
However, Ling Tian, who single-handedly orchestrated the destruction of the XiMen Family, still looked so spotless, as though he had not suffered a single loss, and did not even look tired! Just what kind of strength was this? How could any of the aristocratic families in Sky Bearing dare to provoke such strength?
It seemed that it was best to be more obedient in Sky Bearing. If they were to provoke that little fiend who dared to do anything, they would not even have a place to cry. Almost everyone had such a thought in their hearts.
Before the scholarly meet ended, the founder of the scholarly meet, the XiMen Family, had already been annihilated, with not a single person left alive. With such a bloody and disgusting incident, it was obvious that this scholarly meet could no longer continue.
Just as Ling Tian was chatting with Yu BingYan, the curtains were lifted, and a person walked in. It was the guard leader that Ling Tian had sent back, Wang Tong.
"Young noble, the Marshal is going to set off for battle this morning. Madam is already rushing to the training grounds, and wanted me to inform young noble to hurry over. "Wang Tong's words caused Ling Tian to be stunned. These few years, Ling Xiao setting off for battle was already a common occurrence, and Ling Tian was already used to it. But every time they set out, they would need at least ten days to half a month to prepare. How could they be in such a rush?
Even if the border was really in a state of emergency, there should still be some time to prepare the troops and organize the armaments. Why did they have to go to war this time? There was no warning at all!
Something was seriously wrong! Ling Tian stood up and said, "Chen 'er, come with me. Yan 'er, you go to your Third Uncle's place for the time being. I'll come back to find you, okay? "After hurriedly arranging things, he got up and left with Ling Chen.
Yu BingYan obediently agreed, staring blankly at Ling Tian's back. Her heart was as clear as a mirror. Everyone was well aware of the reason why Ling Tian did not allow her to go with him this time. Aside from dealing with the Northern Wei, there were no other enemies in this urgent expedition. And regardless of whether Tamago had a relationship with the Northern Wei, they were still part of the Northern Wei. Although Tamago had its own family and did not fear the Northern Wei's royal family, Yu BingYan's appearance would still be an awkward one. So Ling Tian really could not bring her along.
Another reason was that sending Ling Xiao to war was a matter of the Ling family. If Yu BingYan went, what identity would she have? If Yu BingYan appeared there, it would be equivalent to announcing to the world that the eldest daughter of Tamago was already the daughter-in-law of the Ling family! Although the two of them were in love with each other, this matter involved the two great families. How could they act so rashly?
Of course, if he brought Yu BingYan along at this time, once the news spread, it would be able to sow discord between the royal family of the Northern Wei and the Tamago. But Ling Tian had never thought of this idea. Or rather, dealing with a mere Northern Wei was beneath Ling Tian's dignity.
When dealing with enemies, Ling Tian had always been unscrupulous. In order to achieve his goals, he would do anything. But Ling Tian's unscrupulous methods had an unshakable principle: he would never use a woman! Whether it was a woman's body or his reputation, Ling Tian would never do such a thing!
Ling Tian could play tricks on outsiders, even the cruelest and most despicable tricks. But he would never do such things to his own family, especially the woman he had already chosen. This was a basic principle that belonged to Ling Tian himself!
Ling Tian hurriedly greeted the passersby and jumped onto the horse that Wang Tong had brought. Squeezing his legs, the horse let out a long neigh and galloped away.
From afar, he could already hear the sound of drums and drums from the military field in front of the palace. The sound of people shouting could be heard, almost like a tsunami.
Nearing the entrance, Ling Tian did not stop. Pulling on the reins, he jumped in with his horse. On the stage, Ling Xiao was dressed in full armor, looking majestic and proud of himself.
Below the stage, Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting 'er had a calm expression on their faces. Ling Xiao going to war was already a common occurrence for the Ling Family. Furthermore, the Northern Wei Emperor was currently in critical condition and the Crown Prince was still in power. Yet, he had inexplicably started a war with the Northern Wei Emperor. As the saying goes, 'Things don't go well without a proper reason'. Ling Xiao did not need to kill a large number of enemies this time. He only needed to defend and there was no danger at all. As such, Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting 'er were not worried at all. Their only thought was that Long Xiang seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill. There were plenty of such generals in Sky Bearing, so why did they have to send Ling Xiao, the 'Sky Bearing God of War', a pillar of the army? It was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
Standing on the stage, Ling Xiao could not help but feel gratified as he saw his son rushing over to send him off. While Ling Xiao was confident that there would not be any risks in this expedition, he still felt a sense of warmth in his heart seeing his son being so concerned about him. However, he put on a displeased expression on his face, "What are you doing here? What's wrong with your horse jumping into the air and injuring the commoners? You really are ignorant and incompetent! "
Ling Tian took two steps forward and bowed, "Your son is here to send father off to war. I hope father will be successful and return victorious!"
Ling Xiao snorted, "This daddy has always been successful in war. Since when has there been an exception? Do I need you to tell me that? " While he was lecturing his son, Ling Xiao's voice was extremely loud and could be heard by everyone present. The confidence in his voice could be felt by everyone present. The tens of thousands of soldiers present could not help but raise their weapons and roar in unison, "Success! Return victorious! Sky Bearing's God of War is invincible! "
A smile could be seen in Ling Tian's eyes. This father of his was really good at raising the morale of the soldiers. Especially when he followed up with his own words, he seemed to be extremely confident and unexcelled in the world! Under normal circumstances, these words could be considered arrogant. But when he said it, it was filled with a sense of pride as though he was looking down on the world. Especially when it came from this invincible 'Sky Bearing's God of War'!
Following that, it was a series of customs. For example, the emperor toasted his soldiers, followed by the civil and military officials. Ling Tian then turned to look at Long Xiang, only to see Long Xiang intentionally avoiding Ling Tian's gaze. Ling Tian could not help but be startled. He began to ponder in his heart.
Seeing that Ling Xiao had finished the bowl of wine that Chu Ting 'er had toasted and was about to wave his hands, he heard Ling Tian say, "Father, please wait." Everyone looked towards him in shock.
Ling Tian then said, "Father is about to leave for war. Your son only wishes for father to return as soon as possible. However, there is still a toast from one of my family members that father has yet to drink. If father does not drink this person's wine, it would be a pity! "
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone in the Ling family had already toasted, right? What other family members were there? There was no one else present.
However, Ling Tian turned around and said gently, "Chen 'er, go and toast father with a cup of victory wine." Ling Chen was startled. Her face immediately turned red and she was at a loss. Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting 'er were both startled. Beside them, Long Xiang's expression became extremely unsightly. Although it was still a secret that he wanted to take Ling Chen into the palace and it was no longer possible, Ling Tian's action was a clear slap to his face! How could his expression not be unsightly?
Under such circumstances, Ling Tian actually asked Ling Chen to propose a toast to his father who was about to set off for battle. Furthermore, he didn't say 'propose a toast to my father' but 'propose a toast to my father'! What did this mean? What did it mean? This meant that in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, civil and military officials, and his own family, Ling Tian was solemnly announcing to the world that Ling Chen was Ling Tian's woman!
This layer of meaning, Old Lady Ling understood, Ling Xiao understood, and almost everyone present understood!
After this toast, Ling Chen would no longer be Ling Tian's servant! She would be Ling Tian's woman, or rather, the first woman that Ling Tian acknowledged as his woman!
This was a huge surprise!
This was an extremely shocking piece of news!
All these years, who in the capital did not know that Young Master Ling Tian's servant was a peerless beauty? Many young masters and descendants of aristocratic families yearned for her day and night, and some even promised her the position of the first wife. There were even many who came to ask for her hand in marriage. However, from today onwards, no one in the world would dare to mention this matter!
Ling Chen's heart was both excited and shy, and her entire body trembled. She knew that as long as she held this cup of wine in her hands, all of her life's hopes and desires would be fulfilled! This was her biggest dream! The happiness of her life could not surpass this!
She could not help but sneak a glance at Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting 'er. Seeing the two of them smiling and nodding, she could not help but feel even more flustered. She lowered her head and took the wine cup from Ling Tian's hands, filled it to the brim with wine, and held it up with both hands. She took a few steps forward and kneeled in front of Ling Xiao. She raised the wine cup high with both hands, and said with a deep shyness, "Chen' er, why … why …" She could not continue, and her voice became softer and softer, as if she could not hear anything.
Ling Xiao laughed heartily, extremely carefree. "This silly girl! You're usually so eloquent, why can't you speak today? Isn't it just a cup of wine for your father-in-law? What's there to be embarrassed about? You're embarrassed to say it, but your father-in-law is not embarrassed to drink it. "He took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, not spilling a single drop. He shouted, "Good wine! A toast from a daughter-in-law is really good! "
Everyone laughed out loud! It was really hard to find such a shameless father-in-law in the world. Instantly, a burst of laughter erupted. In the army, a black-faced general shouted, "Grand Marshal, after drinking a toast from your daughter-in-law, we will definitely win this battle. Grand Marshal can come back and wait to hold your grandson in peace. "
The tens of thousands of soldiers laughed in unison and cheered, "Hold your grandson, hold your grandson!" Ling Chen was so embarrassed that her face was as red as the morning sun. She burrowed her head into Ling Tian's arms and stomped her feet fiercely, pouting coquettishly. If you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com.
