Shui QianRou's heart trembled, and she finally woke up from her confusion. Thinking about how cruel Ling Tian was when he interrogated her, she couldn't help but feel angry. "Prince Ling is resourceful, and he should have known about this long ago. Why do you need to ask me?"
Ling Tian's face turned cold. "Miss Shui, I'm not joking with you. This matter concerns my father and the soldiers he groomed. This matter is definitely not a small matter. I hope that Miss Shui can tell me the truth. If Ling Tian is able to save his father in time, Ling Tian doesn't wish to become irreconcilable enemies with Miss Shui. "
"Ling Tian doesn't wish to become irreconcilable enemies with Miss Shui." When Shui QianRou heard this, her thoughts went wild again. He doesn't wish to become my enemy. Could it be that … he has me in his heart?
That thought flashed through her mind again. Up until now, although her family had already formed a grudge with the Ling family and Ling Tian, it wasn't an unresolvable grudge. However, if Ling Tian's father, General Ling Xiao, really died, then the grudge between the two families would never be resolved. On the contrary, if she did a huge favor to Ling Tian at this time, not only would the grudge between her family and Ling Tian be resolved, she could also …
Thinking of this, Shui QianRou's face turned red. "What am I thinking? I only want to resolve the grudge between my family and the Ling family. Nothing else. Ling Tian is just a matter of convenience …"
Ling Tian saw that Shui QianRou's face was alternating between red and white. In the end, it was completely red. What's wrong with her? Is it because she hasn't recovered from her injuries?!
"Since that's the case, QianRou will fulfill Young Master's fatherly love. Then, Prince Ling, please agree to two of my requests!" Sneaking a glance at Ling Tian, Shui QianRou quickly sorted out her thoughts and said, "If Prince Ling agrees, then I'll give you my word. Then, I will tell Prince Ling everything, no matter how big or small. Please don't worry, Young Master. My request will not be excessive. It will be beneficial to both you and me! "
Ling Tian asked, "What is it?"
Shui QianRou said seriously, "My request, in my opinion, is not too much. Firstly, QianRou has offended young master in the past, but fortunately, I did not harm the Ling family. I hope that young master can let bygones be bygones and resolve this grudge. QianRou is willing to promise on behalf of the family that as long as young master does not interfere with Tianfeng's interests, Tianfeng will not be your enemy! If possible, he was even willing to stand on the same side as the Young Master. Young Master has great ambitions and wants to conquer the world. Young Master must obtain the help of either the Water of Heavenly Wind or Jade of Heavenly Star Clan in order to achieve this goal. Prince Ling wouldn't deny this, would he? "
Ling Tian's eyes flashed and he said, "The second request?"
Shui QianRou's gaze turned again and she said with a hint of pleading, "The second request is that I will come to Sky Bearing and my brother will be in the Northern Wei. I hope that Prince Ling will agree to not harm my brother and my family."
Ling Tian let out a bitter laugh and said coldly, "You guys have prepared for such a long time with hundreds of thousands of soldiers waiting for you. It is already a blessing for me to be able to save my father safely. How can I harm them?"
"Others may not be able to do so, but I know that Prince Ling has the strength to do so! QianRou only has this one brother. In order to save your father, QianRou wants to protect my brother. Without such a guarantee, QianRou would not dare to tell you everything! " When Ling Tian was treating her injuries, Shui QianRou had already realized that Ling Tian's inner qi had already broken through the limits of the HouTian realm and stepped into the XianTian realm. Furthermore, his XianTian inner qi was extremely dense. In Shui QianRou's impression, such a dense XianTian inner qi was probably only felt from her father, the current Family Head of the Shui Family, and a few other elders. If Ling Tian were to take action against her brother regardless of the price, her brother would definitely not be able to escape!
"Good!" Ling Tian said solemnly, "I promise you that I will not harm your brother's life during this trip to the north. However, the prerequisite for this promise is that my father must be safe! Furthermore, this promise will only last until I save my father! If your brother continues to pester me after this, I will definitely not show mercy! "
Shui QianRou let out a sigh of relief, "That's enough! My brother is definitely not someone who does not know how to adapt to circumstances. "
Ling Tian said coldly, "Shui QianRou, I want to know all of your plans right now!"
Shui QianRou furrowed her brows and said, "Ever since the Northern Wei was established, our Shui Family had always placed our men in the Northern Wei's imperial court in order to guard against Tamago. This was to influence the Northern Wei to restrict Tamago to the greatest extent." Shui QianRou continued, "However, due to the outstanding capabilities of our men, the Northern Wei's power continued to grow. However, the rulers of the Northern Wei were all cowardly and useless. They did not have the guts to deal with Tamago. Thus, we chose an ambitious and incompetent person, the Crown Prince of the Northern Wei, Wei Chengping. "
"Oh." Ling Tian immediately understood. No wonder Wei Chengping was so arrogant and dared to make a move on the two of them. It was because he had the support of the Water of Heavenly Wind behind him.
"Wei ChengPing may be ambitious, but in reality, he is a complete idiot!" Shui QianRou curled her lips and said with disdain, "Under the influence of our men, while he can be considered to be scheming, he is not elegant at all. Furthermore, he is impulsive. Following the growth of the Northern Wei's military strength, Wei Chengping was not willing to be left out. At the same time, my family also saw this point. Thus, we are prepared to incite a war between the Northern Wei and Sky Bearing, causing chaos to the entire Heavenly Star Continent. Then, as long as we seize the authority in Wei Chengping's hands, we can make use of our army to wipe out our thousand year old enemy, Tamago! We can even rule over Heavenly Star at the same time. At that time, with the thousand year old prestige of our Shui Family, it wouldn't be difficult for us to unify Heavenly Wind. As such, we can strive for the position of the world's overlord! "
"What great ambitions!" Ling Tian stroked his chin. Indeed, a thousand year old aristocratic family. They actually have the same plan as me.
"Just a month ago, I secretly arrived in Sky Bearing. After investigating the situation in Sky Bearing, I originally planned to ally with the weakest of the three powers, the Ling family, to eradicate the Imperial family and the Yang Family. After that, I would control the Ling family and bring Sky Bearing under the control of the Northern Wei. "Shui QianRou said.
"Ally with the Ling family? Then why did you change your mind? "Ling Tian asked in shock.
"That is because when I was almost done with my preparations," Shui QianRou looked at Ling Tian, "the situation in Sky Bearing changed drastically! The weakest of the three, the Ling family, actually had an extremely deep foundation, to the point that I couldn't overlook it. Especially young noble Ling Tian who appeared out of nowhere, killing decisively and with shocking courage. Your martial arts were also heaven-shaking! Only then did I realize that Prince Ling was actually a hidden expert! However, it was precisely because of this that Prince Ling wasn't someone we had the confidence to control. If we were to force ourselves, we would fall into Prince Ling's trap! Thus, I immediately changed my mind. "
Ling Tian rubbed his nose and laughed bitterly. He never imagined that this disaster was actually caused by his sudden outburst. Because of his outburst, he lost such a good opportunity! If Shui QianRou had sought him out back then, the situation in the world would probably have changed greatly.
The affairs of the world were truly like a game of chess. Ling Tian sighed in his heart, speechless.
"I found the Yang Family, and after interacting with them, I discovered that other than the Yang Family Head, Yang KongQun, there was no one else who could accomplish great things. Furthermore, Yang KongQun no longer had any ambitions." Shui QianRou continued, "Thus, I entered the Imperial Palace late one night. When I passed by Long Xiang's study, I coincidentally heard him scolding Ling Tian with his teeth clenched. Thus, I jumped in and used my sword to subdue him. "
Ling Tian laughed bitterly. Calculating the time, that was when Ling Ran was poisoned and Long Xiang was lustful towards Ling Chen. However, Long Xiang was mercilessly humiliated by Ling Tian. Thus, Long Xiang naturally hated Ling Tian. It wasn't surprising for Long Xiang to secretly curse Ling Tian in the palace. However, Shui QianRou actually encountered such a coincidence and made use of it. Ling Tian didn't know if Shui QianRou's luck was too good or if he was just unlucky.
"Then, I negotiated with him. I would help him destroy the Ling family and stabilize his throne before destroying the Yang Family. At the same time, I would facilitate the alliance between the Northern Wei and Sky Bearing. I would guarantee that after the world was stabilized, the imperial family of Sky Bearing would continue to exist. The only condition was that he had to submit to the Northern Wei. He only hesitated for a moment before agreeing."
"Childish! Childish to the extreme! " Ling Tian shook his head and scolded, "He can even agree to such conditions. Long Xiang is really a pig in the head!"
"Hmph, how could he not agree?" Shui QianRou said with delight, "I fed him an antidote and told him that it was a type of poison that would act up once a year. Apart from me, no one else would be able to cure it! Even if he didn't believe me, he could only agree. "
"Oh!" Ling Tian was enlightened. Long Xiang had just experienced Ling Ran being poisoned and now that he had consumed Shui QianRou's antidote, he was definitely scared out of his wits. Furthermore, the influence of the Ling family was growing day by day and they had also become a thorn in his heart. Thus, both sides were willing to go with the flow. Ling Tian didn't know if he should say that they were an adulterous couple who hit it off immediately. He couldn't help but mock, "Miss Shui is really reliable in doing things. This strategy of sowing discord, threats, and inducements is really masterful. "
Shui QianRou snorted coldly but ignored him and continued, "The Northern Wei will send their troops to Sky Bearing and Long Xiang will send Ling Xiao to meet them. However, they will send three of their personal guards to supervise the troops. Once the time is ripe, they will lure Ling Xiao's troops out and these three will lead the troops to escape. After destroying the morale of the troops, they will guard the Swallow County and block off Ling Xiao's escape route! Even if General Ling can escape from the encirclement of the Northern Wei, he will definitely not be able to escape from the trap of his own people! "
Ling Tian was startled! This plan was really vicious. If he was the one who set it up, he believed that he wouldn't be able to do the same!
"Apart from the 200,000 troops in front of them, the Northern Wei also mobilized another 200,000 troops to set up an ambush. They even contacted the Western Han and asked them to send 100,000 troops to launch a pincer attack at the signal! After that, my brother will lead over 20 experts from the Shui Family and command the 400,000 troops from the Northern Wei to surround Ling Xiao's 100,000 troops! Not a single one of them will be able to return to Sky Bearing! "
"F * * k!" Ling Tian cursed in anger, "You guys are really f * * king vicious!"
Shui QianRou's face turned red as she tried to defend herself, "When two armies fight, there is nothing that can't be done …"
"You want to say that everyone has their own master and I shouldn't blame you, right?" Ling Tian cut her off with a mocking tone, "What do you mean by 'everyone has their own master'? You guys are just a bunch of arrogant and ambitious people! Don't talk about those pompous reasons. I'm much better at coming up with such reasons than you. "
Shui QianRou glared at him and said angrily, "After wiping out Ling … your father's army, the experts of the Shui Family will rush to Sky Bearing and join forces with the Yang Family to wipe out the Ling family. After that, the three empires will join forces and send out their troops! Dominate the world! This is the entire plan. Is Prince Ling satisfied? "
"Not satisfied!" Ling Tian's killing intent surged and his eyes turned red. The viciousness of this plan had far exceeded his expectations. While he had already expected that the trap would be huge and that the number of troops would not be small. However, Ling Tian had always thought that with his many years of operations in the north, there would be a few strong forces that could rush to Ling Xiao's aid at any time. Thus, he did not expect the situation to be so bad! What was even more unexpected was that Western Han was also involved in this matter! Furthermore, the Sky Bearing Imperial Family even had spies! With both the inside and outside working together, Ling Tian could predict that the moment this plan was put into motion, his father would have less than a tenth of a chance of surviving in this huge scheme! How could he remain calm?!
"Where is your ambush? What is the exact location and deployment of troops? Who is the general leading the troops? How are they related to each other? " Ling Tian's handsome face was already contorted and a strong killing intent was emitted from his body. Even a XianTian expert like Shui QianRou could not help but feel suffocated! Grabbing onto Shui QianRou's slender neck, Ling Tian's eyes flashed with madness and hatred, "Hurry and speak!"
Ling Tian sped out of the stone chamber like a tornado and the sound of a horn could be heard from outside. Ling Tian's violent orders were sent out one after another without any hesitation and they were like lightning flashing in the sky!
Shui QianRou did not care about Xiao Die who had rushed to her side and was asking about her well-being. She held onto her neck which was being gripped by Ling Tian and let out a few violent coughs before muttering, "I hope you can still make it in time …" Her eyes were actually filled with a pleading look.
At this moment, Shui QianRou seemed to have forgotten her own identity and that she was also a part of this huge scheme. In her heart, she was actually hoping with all her heart that Ling Tian would be able to save her father in time. Shui QianRou knew that if Ling Xiao really died on the battlefield, Ling Tian would definitely hate her for the rest of his life!
Although there was no possibility between the two of them, Shui QianRou did not wish for Ling Tian to hate her for the rest of his life!
"Little Princess, do you think he can still make it in time if he rushes over now? The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. Are you afraid that it will be dangerous?! "Die 'er looked carefully at Shui QianRou's expression and asked timidly. This lass was intelligent and had followed Shui QianRou since young. Naturally, she could understand the change in Shui QianRou's mood. Her heart also began to worry.
Shui QianRou's tone was somewhat melancholic as she said, "I don't think so? Definitely not! No matter what, Great General Ling … has 70,000 elite troops in his hands ah. These are all his direct subordinates and their battle prowess is definitely not ordinary. Although the Northern Wei has a lot of troops, half of them are after all newly recruited. If they want to take down 70,000 troops in one go, I believe that it won't be so easy! As for that fellow, there's no need for anyone to worry about him. If you have time to worry about him, you should worry about his enemies! However, there should be enough time because brother has another plan … "Shui QianRou's eyes flashed. She remembered that she had vehemently opposed her brother's plan back then and had almost fought with him. But now that Shui QianRou thought about it, she was extremely glad! Luckily, her brother did not change his mind because of her opposition! Otherwise …
"Little Princess, you … have you really taken a fancy to that fellow Ling Tian? Why is your tone …" Die 'er asked carefully.
"Hmph! He humiliated me so much and I take a fancy to him? Dream on! Don't speak nonsense and sully your own mouth for no reason! "Shui QianRou said stubbornly.
"But you used to call him 'Ling Xiao that stupid donkey'. Today, you suddenly changed it to Great General Ling. Isn't this love for the house and its crow?" Die 'er imitated Shui QianRou's tone and said vividly.
"You … you damn lass!" Shui QianRou's face turned red and she made a move to strangle her. Die 'er giggled and dodged.
Suddenly, Shui QianRou fell silent and said thoughtfully, "Ling Tian this person is unfathomable and definitely not simple. Die 'er, the family's decision this time is equivalent to creating an extremely strong enemy! Ling Tian's background, just from the Ling House's side courtyard alone, is not inferior to Tamago's strength. He is definitely not below any of the great families in the world! Previously, we misjudged the Ling family's strength, which was why we had our original plan. But now … if we really kill his father this time, our two families will have resolved an irreconcilable enmity. With the Ling family's strength, our Shui Family will be facing both Tamago and the Ling family at the same time. At that time, there will be enemies on both sides, and both of them will be extremely strong. If Ling Tian really joins forces with Tamago to deal with the Shui Family, then it will really be difficult for us to resist. At that time, the family's true misfortune will arrive. So, whether it is for the survival of the family or for the hegemony of the world, we must win over Ling Tian! But it's a pity … it's already too late … "
Die 'er did not understand and asked, "How can Ling Tian and Tamago join forces? Little princess, back in the Black Pine Forest, didn't Ling Tian mercilessly kill two of Tamago's elders? This is a deep enmity, how can it be resolved? "
Shui QianRou laughed bitterly and said, "The matter of killing Tamago's elders, other than the two of us, no one else knows about it. How can Tamago know that it was Ling Tian who killed them? Do you think that Ling Tian will let us out to spread the news for him? Furthermore, Ling Tian and Yu BingYan were in love with each other and he was also on good terms with Yu ManTian. Thus, his relationship with the Yu Family was extremely deep. The reason why they haven't joined forces is probably because Ling Tian doesn't want to be inferior to others. But if we force him into a corner, his only choice is to join forces with Tamago! How can it not be possible? In fact, it's highly possible! "
"Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the Yu Family were to find out the truth behind the deaths of the two elders, the Yu Family Head, Yu ManLou, would definitely not become enemies with Ling Tian even if this matter were to be revealed. It was even possible that he would not pursue this matter any further in exchange for Ling Tian's friendship. Unless the Water of Heavenly Wind no longer exists in this world, he might pursue Ling Tian. But before we continue to exist, Tamago will definitely not become enemies with an expert like Ling Tian! Furthermore, Yu BingYan is also involved. Ai! "Shui QianRou let out a long sigh as she said that.
Die 'er pondered for a moment and said, "Did our family underestimate Ling Tian too much?"
"Underestimate?!" Shui QianRou wanted to cry but had no tears. "It's like treating a tiger like a white rabbit and swallowing it whole! It would be weird if we didn't suffer a backlash. It's also my fault for not noticing the peculiarity earlier and causing such a calamity! Right now, I can only hope that Brother Huan didn't really kill General Ling. If not, not only will Brother Huan be in danger, even the entire Shui Family will be in danger! "
"Such a person with such strength, if we don't have the confidence to wipe him out, the best way would be to pacify him and slowly plan." Shui QianRou said. "But now, if Ling Tian and Tamago are to be married and our Shui Family offends him, the day of our family's destruction won't be far."
"So the little princess intends to … sacrifice yourself?" Die 'er's words had a hint of mockery.
"It can't really be considered a sacrifice." Unexpectedly, Shui QianRou did not refute, "Perhaps it is a type of luck. Ling Tian is indeed the only person who is able to convince me in both the civil and martial paths. Moreover, his scheming was exquisite, his thoughts were meticulous and profound, and his methods of doing things were direct and effective. All of these caused people to shudder with fear, yet they also gasped in amazement. Thinking about it afterwards, it was difficult to have resentment, only admiration. He is truly a rare talent. Furthermore, it's not that I don't have a good impression of him. Although I have always thought highly of myself, if I were to marry him, it wouldn't be a disgrace to me. Furthermore, I would be able to strike down Tamago at the same time. This is a good thing, killing many birds with one stone! " When Shui QianRou talked about her marriage, there was only a faint trace of shyness in her eyes. However, she still spoke openly, without the shyness of an ordinary woman.
"Little princess, he has humiliated you so much these two days, but you actually … don't hate him at all?" Die 'er widened her eyes in shock.
"Hate him? Why? " Shui QianRou smiled faintly, "Die 'er, I've said it just now. Just like what he said, from my point of view, what I did was not wrong at all. But from his point of view, what he did to us was despicable and shameless, but at the same time, it was also incomparably correct! After all, we were the ones who wanted to harm his father, harm him, and even destroy the entire Ling family. He wanted to obtain news of us as quickly as possible to save his father. Although his methods were despicable, they were not excessive. After all, he was just talking about it. If I were him, I would also use such methods because it was the most direct and effective method. Let me ask you, if he only wanted to obtain news from my mouth and used conciliatory methods, I'm afraid that I would be able to delay him for at least three to four days. At that time, he wouldn't even be able to find his father's corpse, much less save him. That would be a disaster for both sides! "
Shui QianRou raised her head and said in a low voice, "Therefore, the method he chose was the most correct. To deal with me, Shui QianRou, I'm afraid that this is the only effective method. Speaking of torture, it's just a joke! Although I knew that he was only trying to scare me, as a woman, I did not dare to take such a risk. "
"Scare you?" Die 'er's beautiful eyes widened, "You're saying …"
Shui QianRou smiled, "If he didn't scold Ling Chen and kick that burly man, I wouldn't have been able to tell that he was just trying to scare me. But especially that kick of his, I knew that he would not do such a thing. " Shui QianRou said leisurely, "How can a person who already knows how to endure from a young age show such emotions on his face? It's a pity that even though I knew, I still did not dare to take the risk! Because I'm a woman. Because of this, women can never be as persevering as men! In the past, I didn't want to admit it, but now, I have no choice but to admit it! "
Die 'er opened her mouth in shock. At that moment, he felt as though his little princess and Ling Tian were both monsters. To think that each of them could think so deeply and talk about the previous matters with such a calm tone. Were they still human?
Shui QianRou's expression was indifferent as she said, "In this chaotic world, one cannot use good or bad, right or wrong to judge a person. The way one does things is also the same. One can only judge a hero based on the final success or failure! No matter who it is, everyone has their own standpoint! Therefore, "Shui QianRou concluded," In this world, there is no such thing as a good person or a bad person. Everyone can be a good person or a bad person! Since you're already involved, then don't blame anyone! There's nothing to blame. Once you've entered this huge vat of dye, don't try to use the so-called moral standards to judge others. Not only is that extremely foolish, it will also cause your own death. "
If Ling Tian could hear Shui QianRou's words, he would definitely clap his hands in praise and exclaim that he had finally met a bosom friend.
However, Ling Tian clearly did not have the leisure to do so. He was already burning with anxiety! The news that he obtained from Shui QianRou almost caused Ling Tian's mental state to collapse on the spot! Such a meticulously planned scheme, such a huge disparity in military strength, and such a vicious ambush! The moment the plan began, Ling Xiao was destined to die!
Now, Ling Tian could only hope that his father would be able to hold on for a period of time. The four of them that he had sent would do their best to protect his father from harm and buy him as much time as possible!
There was no time to lose! When the Courtyard's army was gathered, Ling Tian's orders were sent out like cannons.
"Ling Chen! Bring Ling Lei and Ling Dian to guard Sky Bearing and take care of the Ling family! Bring two thousand of the monastery's troops over. If there are any strange movements, If there's any movement, kill without mercy! In addition, inform all the troops in the northwest to rush to the battlefield at full speed to provide support at all costs! Set off immediately! "
"Yes!"
"Feng Mo, gather 15,000 elite troops with Wang Han and set off immediately. If there are any obstructions along the way, kill without mercy! Do not engage in battle with anyone. Enter the battlefield directly and rush to the rescue as fast as possible! "
"Yes!"
"Ling Liu, Ling Seven, Ling Eight, Ling Jiu!"
"Present!"
"The four of you, quickly contact your subordinates. As long as they are near the battlefield, even if there is only one of them, I want them to help me! Gather all the information and report it to me at any time! "
"Yes!"
"Ling Jian, Ling Chi, Ling Feng, Ling Yun!"
"Present!"
"The four of you, follow me and set off immediately. Travel light and at the fastest speed possible! Rush to the Swallow County immediately! Ling Chen, inform the northwest horse farm to rush to the path that I will definitely take. Prepare five of the best war horses for me and wait there! "
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
With a whistle, the five horses rushed out at the same time. In the blink of an eye, they had already galloped out of the Courtyard and disappeared from everyone's sight! A cloud of dust rose into the sky and slowly dissipated!
A peerless expert and four killing gods!
