The head of the Yang Family, Yang KongQun, took the lead and walked at the front of the troops with a smug look on his face. After fighting with Lin Zhan for so many years, it was finally time for the victor to be decided! The imperial family had chosen to deal with the Ling family first! At this moment, Yang KongQun felt that he had already achieved a complete victory! Without the Ling family in Sky Bearing, would Long Xiang have the strength to escape from his grasp? The answer was obvious, of course not!
Ling House. In the hall.
Old Master Ling and Old Madam Ling were seated at the head of the table. Their expressions were extremely solemn, as if a layer of frost had covered their faces. Ling Tian's mother, Chu Ting 'er, was seated by the side with reddened eyes and a melancholic expression on her face. It was obvious that she was worried about her husband's life and death, as well as her son's rescue.
Below them were the elites of the Ling family and the Ling House. All the leaders were seated with solemn expressions on their faces. Ling Chen and Yu BingYan were dressed in snow-white robes as they stood silently by the side. Both of their beautiful faces were expressionless.
The people in the room had all sorts of expressions on their faces. The only thing that was not present was nervousness, panic, fear, and shock …
Lin Zhan's originally white hair had turned snow-white in just a day and a half! The old marshal and old general who had devoted his entire life to Sky Bearing had given all his energy and strength to this country! It could be said that the entire Sky Bearing Empire could be considered the crystallization of Grandfather Ling's life's blood and sweat! However, for such a meritorious subject of Sky Bearing, his son who had served him all his life was betrayed at the end of his life. Following which, he was besieged by the elite Imperial Army under the command of the Imperial Family which he had been loyal to for the past few decades. Facing the possibility of his entire family being exterminated, how could he not be heartbroken from such a heavy blow?! Grandfather Ling felt that he was too tired!
It could be said that even before Shen RuHu received the order to kill Long Xiang, Ling Chen had already received first-hand news of the matter! However, everyone had their own opinions on how to deal with it! Especially the leaders of the Ling House and the Ling Courtyard, their differences were even greater!
Who was the one in charge?!
If it was ten or even five years ago, both Old Lady Ling and Grandfather Ling would definitely be in charge. However, time was unforgiving! Madam Chu Ting 'er? She was definitely an expert in managing finances and business. However, she was completely useless when it came to such matters!
There seemed to be no one else!
Everyone argued for a while but still could not come to a decision. The Old Lady Ling's face as her brows furrowed, she asked, "Before your young's departure, who's in charge of the courtyard?"
The lanky Ling Lei stepped forward and bowed. "Reporting to Old Madam, the young master said that if he's not around, Miss Chen will take full responsibility for everything in the courtyard! No one is allowed to disobey! Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy! "
"Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!? She's just a servant girl. What can she do? Haha … "In the Ling House, a deputy housekeeper named Wu Yong laughed. His laughter was full of ridicule. Wu Yong had been with Grandfather Ling for a long time and considered himself to be one of the founding members of the Ling family. He had always been arrogant and never cared about what he said, even in front of Ling Xiao and Chu Ting 'er. Everyone in the Ling House respected his seniority and usually looked up to him. Unexpectedly, he was the first one to stand out and object. Immediately, a few people became restless and were about to agree.
Suddenly, there was a flash of sword light and a scream was heard! Ling Dian slowly pulled the sword out of his chest and said coldly, "The young master said that if anyone dares to question Miss Ling Chen, regardless of right or wrong, they will be killed without mercy! Didn't I make it clear? "
Wu Yong pressed his hands on the wound on his chest and his eyes bulged. His face was full of disbelief and his throat gurgled, but he couldn't say a word. His body slowly fell forward and his legs twitched before he stopped moving. Fresh blood slowly flowed out from his body.
Everyone was shocked! They didn't expect this young man to be so ruthless! Just because he didn't like what he said, he pulled out his sword and killed!
Old Master Ling's face twitched violently as he looked at Ling Dian with a cold glint in his eyes! Even though he was old, he was still strong. A little brat actually dared to kill his trusted aide in front of him. This was too much!
Ling Dian was fearless and said proudly, "I know that it was disrespectful of me to suddenly attack, but the situation is urgent and the enemy is about to arrive. We don't have time to argue! We don't have time to explain anything! What we need the most now is undoubtedly someone to take charge. The only thing we can do now is to carry out the young master's orders! If anyone questions us, regardless of right or wrong, they will be killed without mercy! No matter how big the matter is, we have to get through this first! If the old master thinks that Ling Dian is wrong, then Ling Dian is wrong. After this, I will take the initiative to apologize to the old master! I won't hesitate even if my head is cut off! "
"Clap clap …" Old Lady Ling suddenly clapped her hands. "Good Tian 'er, you are indeed decisive! Before leaving, you actually left behind such a strong and brilliant backup plan! You are indeed worthy of being this old lady's good Grandson! Since this is the case, what are you waiting for, Chen 'er? Give the order. Whoever disobeys, this old lady will be the first to not let him off! No, this old lady doesn't need to not let him off. If anyone disobeys, follow Tian 'er's orders and kill without mercy! "
After all, Old Lady Ling was the one who truly held power in the Ling family for the past few decades. How could she not know the pros and cons of this? Although she was dissatisfied with Ling Dian killing people without permission, she had to admit that Ling Dian's move was extremely beautiful! At the end of the day, both she and her husband were old and their stamina was a huge problem. Thus, before any objections were raised, they had already suppressed them with lightning speed and supported Ling Tian's orders wholeheartedly. This was greatly beneficial to the mobilization of the troops under such circumstances! At this point in time, if there were any disloyalty within the family, the entire situation would collapse. This was truly extraordinary! If there were no iron-blooded methods, how could the masses be convinced? The old lady looked at Ling Dian again. She was also surprised by this young man's ruthlessness and decisiveness! Tian 'er's subordinates are indeed extraordinary! Old Lady Ling sighed in her heart.
Ling Chen smiled faintly. She was actually indescribably calm and composed. She bowed and said, "Old Lady, please rest assured. Everyone in the residence need not panic. Everyone just needs to perform their duties. As for everyone else, they have already been deployed when Chen 'er received the news! Just waiting for them to fall into the trap? "
"Oh?" Old Lady Ling's eyes revealed a look of admiration. "How did you deploy them? Was it Tian 'er's arrangement before he left?! "
Ling Chen bowed again and smiled faintly. "Young Master has always said that specific matters must be dealt with properly. How can there be no investigation? This is all Chen 'er's doing. Old Lady, you will find out soon. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Haha, if that's the case, this old lady can rest assured. I will wait and see." Old Lady Ling said with a smile. Until the wee hours of the morning, for the sake of secrecy, he refused to reveal his overall deployment in public. She couldn't help but feel relieved.
A panicked voice came from afar. "Not good, not good … My mother, she … fainted …" Along with the voice, Princess Jiao Yue rushed in. Her beautiful face was full of panic! It turned out that Imperial Consort Ling Ran was shocked to hear that her husband had plotted against her brother and even wanted to take advantage of the situation to deal with the Ling family. She had finally turned against her own family and there was no turning back. She couldn't help but feel incomparable pain and worry. She was in a dilemma and her body was weak to begin with. She fainted on the spot!
"Sin!" Old Lady Ling sighed deeply. She held Princess Jiao Yue's arm and gave Chu Ting 'er a look before walking out of the hall. Chu Ting 'er hesitated for a moment before following them out. Grandfather Ling also stood up and sighed deeply. He looked at Ling Chen as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He shook his head and staggered out of the hall. His back was bleak and lonely, filled with the desolation of a hero at the end of his road and the boredom of a dead man!
The three heads of the Ling family left the hall one after another. There was only one reason for them to do so, and that was to trust Ling Tian's choice and establish Ling Chen's leadership position. They had truly placed the life and death of the entire Ling House in the hands of Ling Chen! This made their attitude clear. No matter what decision Ling Chen made, the three of them would not question her and would only wait for the final result! Even if the Ling family was unfortunately sent to a dead end, everyone would accept it! This was the demeanor of a great family. If you suspect someone, don't use them. If you use them, don't doubt them!
Tears welled up in Ling Chen's eyes. Although she was confident that she could convince the two elders and Madam Chu, she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. But when he thought about how the entire Ling Family's safety was in his hands, he couldn't help but feel uneasy even though he already had a plan in mind. She looked through the mottled bamboo in front of the hall and into the distance.
The Imperial Guards should be here soon, right? Why haven't I heard anything yet? Could it be that there's a loophole in my plan?
Inside the Smoky Thea Tower
"Big Brother, what should we do? Should we fight or retreat? Come up with an idea! " NanGong TianHu panted heavily, as though he was a lion that had been locked in a cage. He paced back and forth anxiously, "If the Ling Family is really destroyed, with that old dog Yang KongQun around, the next target will definitely be us! Big Brother, we have to be careful. "
NanGong TianLong's expression was calm as he lifted up a cup of tea and took a sip. Slowly, he said, "What's the hurry? Let's wait and see. It's not too late. "
"It's not too late? Big Brother, the Ling family is about to be destroyed! That old dog Yang KongQun brought out his Heavenly Blade Godly Weapon. What kind of stance is this? How can I not be anxious? " Nangong Tianhu paced around again as the veins on his forehead bulged. "If we really wait until the Ling family is completely destroyed, there's no point in being anxious."
Nangong Tianlong smiled faintly as he looked at his daughter Nangong Yu. "Yu 'er, what do you think?"
Nangong Yu frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Father, I think this is very unusual! It's hard to determine the outcome of the battle. We are in a dilemma. It's really a dilemma! "
