Long Xiang finally could not hold it in any longer and roared, "Shen RuHu, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you attacking?! Are you trying to play favorites?! Don't tell me you still care about your teacher-student relationship with that old bastard Lin Zhan?! " As the Emperor of Sky Bearing, for his Sky Bearing City to be in such a sorry state, his chest was about to explode from anger! He couldn't wait to capture the person in charge of the Ling family and tear him to pieces! Seeing how Shen RuHu and Yang KongQun were trembling in fear as though they were facing a great enemy, he couldn't help but roar in anger! Naturally, he wouldn't dare to question his father-in-law and thus, Shen RuHu had no choice but to accept Long Xiang's reprimand! He even used the fact that Shen RuHu had once taken Lin Zhan as his teacher as an example!
Shen RuHu's black face immediately turned purple! He almost couldn't hold it in any longer! Forcefully calming himself down, he turned to Long Xiang who was being protected by layers of guards and said, "Your Majesty, the Ling family's reaction is far too abnormal. I'm afraid that there is a huge conspiracy behind it. If we act rashly, we don't have the confidence to win!"
Long Xiang sneered, "I have tens of thousands of troops here. What kind of tricks can a mere Ling family come up with? Quickly give the order to attack! Capture all the traitors! Kill anyone who resists, except for the females! "
As Shen RuHu heard the last few words, he almost went crazy from anger. Originally, he wanted to argue, but Yang KongQun stepped forward and said in a low voice, "General Shen, this old man doesn't doubt your character. However, this old man thinks that it's best to send a few troops to feign an attack to test the Ling House's strength. This will also give the Emperor an explanation. If this stalemate continues, it won't be the best plan for both the General and today's matter. "
Shen RuHu thought about it carefully and felt that Yang KongQun's words made sense. He sighed and said, "Fine!"
Just as he was about to give the order to attack, he heard a creaking sound. The doors of the Ling Residence slowly opened, and a person walked out leisurely. The front of his robe was unbuttoned, revealing his lush chest hair. When this person saw that there were so many people gathered outside with swords drawn, he seemed to be taken aback. He stretched out his little finger and picked his ear. Tilting his head, he said in a rough voice, "Huh? What are so many people gathered here for? Haha, your faces are painted like this. Are you guys putting on a show? "
The County of Yan.
"What did you say? A messenger from the Western Han requesting an audience? What important military information does Han TieXuan have to discuss with me at this time?! "Looking at the soldier who came to report, Ling Tian asked in disbelief. This matter was simply too inconceivable! They were still engaged in a life-and-death battle during the day, yet they were able to send a messenger to request an audience at night to discuss important military matters! This … isn't this change too fast?
Even though Ling Tian had lived two lives, and was a high-level figure who had been through many schemes and plots, his brain couldn't help but short-circuit at this moment. If Han TieXuan was using a scheme, then his scheme was really stupid! It didn't have the slightest bit of credibility. If Han TieXuan really wanted to discuss important military matters, then Ling Tian's first thought was: Han TieXuan's head was kicked by a donkey! This matter was too strange, too inconceivable!
"Let him in!" Ling Tian took two steps forward and finally made a decision.
"General, you were able to maneuver and maneuver freely in the midst of thousands of soldiers. Even when surrounded from all sides, you still managed to escape courageously. Your heroic spirit is unparalleled, unprecedented since ancient times. I, TieXuan, am filled with admiration for you! General's bravery can be said to be unparalleled in the world! Now that you are in the County of Yan, defending it from danger, it is naturally safe. This is worthy of celebration. However, there are still internal and external threats. There are wolves in front and tigers behind, eyeing you covetously. General's situation is still worrisome! The only thing we can do now is to first get rid of the external threats, then think of a long-term plan! "
"TieXuan is untalented, leading 100,000 Western Han soldiers alone. For the time being, I am cooperating with the tiger. If you are willing, the Northern Wei army of 100,000 will be wiped out! TieXuan is willing to work together with you! When the time comes, raise the lantern as the signal and attack the enemy from the front. TieXuan will burn their provisions and attack from the side! With the cooperation from both inside and outside, the Northern Wei will be wiped out with a flick of the finger! "
"General, TieXuan's words come from the bottom of my heart. Please do not doubt me! I, Han TieXuan of Western Han, kowtow! "Han TieXuan's letter was obviously written to Ling Xiao.
Ling Tian's brows were tightly knitted together as he held Han TieXuan's handwritten letter requesting cooperation against the Northern Wei. Although the words used in the letter were humble and courteous, Han TieXuan's strong unwillingness could still be seen from between the lines.
"Could it be that your general has suddenly contracted epilepsy?" Ling Tian played with the letter in his hand. His white jade-like face exuded an indescribable charm under the candlelight. Without even raising his head, he said slowly, "You want to deceive this young master with such a clumsy trick? Does Han TieXuan think that this young master is as stupid as him? If this matter were to happen to you, would you believe it?! "
"Young master's question is reasonable. If it were me, I would not believe it either. However, this matter is the truth. My general has also thought that young master would be suspicious. If young master is not suspicious, this matter will have no chance of success. The general has ordered me to ask Prince Ling what should be done to make Prince Ling believe in my general's sincerity? As long as it is within reason, the general will do his best to dispel young master's suspicions! " The Western Han emissary seemed to have guessed that Ling Tian would have such a reaction. Hearing this, he did not feel surprised at all. Instead, he asked another question.
Ling Tian's eyes flashed. One must know that Ling Tian was the best at reading people. This was also the foundation of hypnotism. From the emissary's words and actions, he actually believed it. This was originally the most ridiculous suggestion! If this emissary was not the best actor, then it meant that the Western Han's general, Han TieXuan, really had such intentions!
"Unless Han TieXuan personally comes, it is impossible for me to believe this matter! I believe that the esteemed emissary can understand my words! General Han can understand as well! " Ling Tian lightly slapped the letter on the table. His face was calm and collected. "When two armies fight, the emissary will not be killed. This time, even if the two armies are not irreconcilable, there is not much difference. I will spare your life and let you go back. Tell Han TieXuan that if he uses tricks, he is underestimating me. If he is sincere, he is also underestimating me! Even if he really dares to come, he must be prepared that I will not let him leave! Ling Tian will not see you off! "
The emissary did not say anything else. He bowed and turned around to leave!
"Young Master, I think that Han TieXuan is definitely up to no good! Why would he come and ask for cooperation when he has the upper hand? He must be up to something! Young Master must not fall for it! "Seeing that the Western Han emissary had left, Ling Jian picked up the letter on the table and gave it a cursory glance.
"Up to something? This matter is indeed strange! "Ling Tian chuckled thoughtfully," Even if you say that it was a trap, that might not necessarily be the case! Let's see if Han TieXuan will come personally! " Ling Tian looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and smiled. "Let's deal with all changes by sticking to the status quo. Let's just treat it calmly."
Ling Chi mumbled, "Why would he come? Many of our soldiers hate Han TieXuan even more than the Northern Wei. If he dares to come, the soldiers will eat him alive!"
Ling Tian smiled. "I don't think so. Who knows, he might really dare to come!"
Not even two hours later, a soldier came to report, "The Western Han's general, Han TieXuan, has brought only one person with him. He wishes to see Young Master."
Everyone was shocked. Who would have thought that Han TieXuan would really come? Could it be that he was really so sincere?
Ling Tian's expression did not change. "Invite him in." He then turned to Ling Twenty and instructed, "Go and invite General Li XiangDong to the main hall. Be careful not to touch his wounds."
In the battle earlier, Ling Xiao and his subordinates were all heavily injured. Ever since they entered the County of Yan, Ling Tian had conscripted the County Governor's Mansion and the County Affairs Office to be used as a place to recuperate. All the generals were recuperating peacefully in the mansion. If there was nothing important, Ling Tian did not want to disturb these old generals who had been ravaged by the flames of war. He did not want to disturb their recovery. However, this was a special situation. Apart from Ling Xiao and Li XiangDong, no one else could recognize Han TieXuan! Left with no choice, he could only invite Li XiangDong, Han TieXuan's nemesis.
"You must be Prince Ling? You are indeed a man of striking appearance. I am Han TieXuan from the Western Han. Greetings. "Not long later, Han TieXuan and another person were led into the main hall by two soldiers. The two of them were covered by huge cloaks that reached the ground. Not to mention their faces, even their height and weight could not be seen. The only thing that could be heard was the rough voice.
Ling Tian cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me for not recognizing you. You are dressed so tightly that I did not dare to recognize you. Please forgive me." As he spoke, Ling Tian's attention was not on Han TieXuan at all. Instead, it was on the person beside him. He could feel a pair of sharp eyes sizing him up through the cloak. It was as though the eyes were filled with admiration, but he did not sense any ill intent from the person. However, the moment this person stood there, his aura was extremely imposing. It was obvious that he was an expert whose martial arts were not inferior to Yu ManTian's!
Who was this person? Why did he appear here? What was his motive?
Han TieXuan laughed out loud, "In order to avoid being noticed, I had no choice but to do so. Now, I have to be honest with young noble."
Ling Tian's eyes narrowed as he laughed dryly, "General Han, you can just take off your cloak. There is no need for you to be so honest. In public, it would be inconvenient …"
Han TieXuan was just about to take off his cloak to reveal his true appearance. The moment he heard Ling Tian's words, his face turned red and he almost scolded out loud. However, he suppressed his anger and awkwardly said, "Err … that is true, that is true. You and I are both men. This … there is no need for me to do so. Hehe … err …" Feeling that his words were wrong, he could only force out a laugh and say, "Prince Ling is indeed humorous. Hehe …"
Ling Jian, Ling Chi and the rest were dressed in the uniform of the guards. They were originally motionless like a few wooden pillars. However, the moment Ling Tian and Han TieXuan finished their conversation, Han TieXuan's face turned red, white, green and blue. Ling Chi could not help but burst out into laughter. However, he immediately felt that something was amiss and covered his mouth. His shoulders trembled from the laughter and he finally could not help but cough.
