Most of the troops had successfully entered the pass, and only Ling Tian and a few others remained. Ling Tian stood with his hands behind his back, as though he was waiting for something. Looking at the peaceful plains in front of him, Ling Tian could not help but sigh in his heart.
Perhaps by this time next year, even these hills would be gone, right? Then, who would still remember that there was once an extremely tragic battle on this piece of land? And there was even a war that caused a country that was once very strong to be unable to recover from the setback? Looking at the eerie white bones under the small mounds, would there still be beauties leaning against the door and looking at each other? Would he appear again and again in the dreams of a passionate young lady when she was dreaming in the middle of the night?
Pitiful bones by the Indefinite River, still deep in their dreams!
Ling Tian shook his head and chased these thoughts out of his mind. He could not help but laugh. Perhaps it was the emptiness after the great battle, but he had actually become a little sentimental. How could he not understand the logic of a general building his success on the bones of ten thousand!
From afar, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and it was extremely urgent! In that moment, all the Ling soldiers raised their heads warily.
Ling Tian squinted his eyes and looked at the billowing dust with a leisurely expression.
There weren't many people, only a thousand or so, but it could be seen that the passengers on the horses had fierce expressions. Every one of them was an elite soldier. At the very front was a young man dressed entirely in black. No one noticed that when this black-robed young man saw Ling Tian standing in the wind, his eyes suddenly lit up. In that instant, the expression in his eyes became extremely strange.
"Who are you? Ah? " The one who spoke was Ling Nineteen. He was currently sitting with Ling Twenty and the rest, chatting and resting. As for Ling Jian and the rest, they were nowhere to be seen.
Ling Nineteen was the first to react. He turned around and just as he was about to speak, it was as though someone was choking him. He was actually unable to say anything, and his eyes were filled with agitation. Ling Chi stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down. Giving him a warning look, he said in a low voice, "Don't speak. Young Noble is here."
The others who were in the same state as Ling Nineteen immediately regained their senses. One by one, they lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"How dare you! Who was it? You actually dare to be so rude in front of this Young Master. You really have guts. Why aren't you dismounting? What are you waiting for? "Ling Tian's face was as cold as ice as he shouted. His voice was filled with a thin layer of anger, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with these people for ruining his mood. His cold gaze swept over, without the slightest hint of emotion.
"And who are you?" The black-robed youth's eyes flashed, and his face turned frosty. His tone was sharp, "Where is General Han TieXuan? This Young Master is looking for him. You, quickly bring me to him! " As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed the horsewhip in his hand at Ling Tian. His tone was filled with an air of arrogance and authority. However, no one noticed that when he raised his right hand, his fingers suddenly trembled, and the horsewhip almost fell to the ground. The direction of his horsewhip was not pointed at Ling Tian's face, but at Ling Tian's chest. This caused his originally domineering appearance to be imperceptibly reduced by quite a bit.
"General Han TieXuan?" Ling Tian's lips curled into a playful smile, "Are you someone from Western Han?"
"This young noble in front of you is the young noble of our Western Han's XiMen Family!" A follower beside the black-robed youth said with a flattering tone, "Currently, he is the only young noble of the XiMen Family! Quickly come forward and pay your respects! "
"XiMen Family, is it? Hahaha … "Ling Tian laughed loudly, almost to the point of tears flowing out of his eyes," Is it the XiMen Family that has a penchant for cutting sleeves and splitting peaches? They don't abstain from meat and vegetables, and they especially like strong men? I've heard so much about you, it's like thunder piercing my ears! Last time, the number one genius in the world, young master XiMen Qing's wonderful performance is still fresh in my mind. Haha … I wonder if this' only 'young noble also likes this kind of thing?! Anyway, as long as you don't like this young noble, my subordinates and I will politely decline! "
"You're courting death!" The eyes of the group of people in front of him instantly turned blood red. With a few clanking sounds, a few people who seemed to be more impulsive had already drawn their swords and rushed forward. Only the black-robed youth calmly raised his right hand, and the people who rushed forward immediately stopped, obediently stopping and retreating. Although the black-robed youth was young, he had a certain amount of power and influence in this group of people.
The situation here was already hanging by a thread, on the verge of breaking out at any moment. However, the strange thing was that Ling Chi and the rest who were not too far away acted as though they did not see anything. They continued to sit there calmly, not even batting an eyelid. Perhaps, their confidence in Ling Tian was too strong?!
The black-robed youth took in a deep breath, a strange light flashing in his eyes. Suddenly, he clasped his hands and said, "This one is XiMen Sa, may I ask for your esteemed name? May I know if my family has offended you in any way? " His voice was unexpectedly loud, and since he was facing Ling Tian, there was no need for him to speak so loudly. However, he still raised his voice and said it out loud. His voice was extremely clear, and everyone present could hear it clearly. At the same time, it also showed that his strength was not inferior to Ling Chi and the rest.
Ling Chi and the rest who were by the side also heard his words clearly, and their faces changed slightly. However, they still maintained their composure.
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at XiMen Sa with a strange expression, as deep as the ocean. "XiMen Sa? Ah ah, a youngster will always be a youngster, still so inexperienced … ah! To think that you still can't guess this young noble's identity! The XiMen Family is indeed lacking in successors! " When Ling Tian said the word 'inexperienced', he suddenly paused for a moment before continuing. It seemed as though he was mocking XiMen Sa, but it also seemed as though … there was another meaning.
When XiMen Sa heard Ling Tian's words, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he lowered his head. Ling Tian coughed loudly. XiMen Sa suddenly raised his head with a look of disbelief. "You are … Ling Tian?"
Ling Tian laughed loudly, and an unspeakable arrogance could be heard. "That's right! I am Ling Tian! Your young master XiMen Qing's good friend! Ling Tian! " At that moment, a wave of enmity could be felt, and the experts of the XiMen Family behind XiMen Sa all looked at Ling Tian with wariness in their eyes, as well as a thick sense of … fear!
The elites that the XiMen Family sent to Sky Bearing were all wiped out, and it was common knowledge that Ling Tian was the culprit behind all of this. The two families were now mortal enemies! However, Ling Tian's vicious methods and strength made the XiMen Family extremely fearful. The moment they heard that the person blocking their path was him, all of them felt their hearts sink.
"It is indeed you!" XiMen Sa's eyes turned cold, "So what if it is you? What do you plan to do now?"
Ling Tian shook his head and laughed, "I just joined hands with your Western Han General Han TieXuan and defeated the 400,000 strong Northern Wei army. Tell me, what do you think I want to do now?"
"Ah ah …" XiMen Sa was stunned, and after a long while, he suddenly asked a question that all of his subordinates could not believe, "Your father … is fine?"
A strange light flashed past Ling Tian's eyes, and he nodded his head. "He is fine! How thoughtful of you! "
XiMen Sa then let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Indeed, the heavens help the worthy! When this humble one received the news, I immediately rushed over to help … General Han. Who would have thought that Young Noble Ling would be able to make General Han work together with him, causing the once prosperous Northern Wei to suffer such a huge defeat. From then on, they would never be able to recover from this setback, never to rise again. Haha, the world is truly like a game of chess, difficult to predict. "
Ling Tian nodded his head deeply, and sighed. "That's right, the world is truly like a game of chess, difficult to predict. For Young Master XiMen to suddenly appear here, isn't that also a very unexpected matter? "
XiMen Sa smiled, and his eyes narrowed. "Yes, yes, it is indeed a little unexpected." The two of them looked at each other for a while, and suddenly laughed together. Their laughter was so peaceful, as though they were good friends who had not seen each other for many years!
The experts of the XiMen Family all looked at each other. They were all confused by the conversation between their Young Master and Ling Tian, and could not make heads or tails of it. However, there was one thing that they were certain of: their Young Master was obviously having a battle of wits with Ling Tian! Since it was difficult to win in a battle of strength, they could only compete in a battle of wits. Who asked them to not know who was the enemy and who was the enemy?
XiMen Sa cupped his fists and said with a smile, "If Prince Ling does not have any other instructions, this little brother still has other matters to attend to, and needs to return to Western Han as soon as possible!"
Ling Tian rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "This young noble and Young Master XiMen felt like old friends at first sight, and this is what it means to feel as though we are old friends. Why are you in such a hurry? This young noble's original intention was to wait here for General Han to return, and deal with the strategic resources here. However, this young noble also has urgent matters to attend to, and needs to return to Sky Bearing immediately. Furthermore, General Han will not be able to return in such a short period of time, so I will have to trouble Young Master XiMen to help me, and bring them back to Western Han along the way. "
The moment Ling Tian said that, the subordinates behind XiMen Sa all revealed looks of joy! Dealing with the resources after the battle was undoubtedly a huge advantage, but also a huge merit! The moment they returned to Sky Bearing, all of them would definitely have a share of this merit! None of them expected that following XiMen Sa out this time, a meat pie would fall from the sky! Furthermore, they had conquered countless cities, and this was a huge merit for expanding their territory. But now, half of it had fallen into their hands! If this suggestion didn't come from Ling Tian's mouth, they would probably be overjoyed by this idea! Now, they could only wait to see how their little young noble would deal with it. However, everyone's eyes were filled with desire!
XiMen Sa's expression did not change, but his pupils shrank for a moment before returning to normal. He turned around and said, "Since Young Master Ling Tian said that the both of us are like old friends, then XiMen Sa will respectfully accept. No matter what, I cannot let Prince Ling's matters be delayed because of the matters of our Western Han. "
Ling Tian smiled, "That's right! Many thanks for Young Master XiMen's understanding. " The both of them looked at each other, and smiled. This time, their smiles were a little strange, as though they had a tacit understanding. XiMen Sa's eyes were filled with gratitude and reverence. At this moment, the way he looked at Ling Tian was just like how Ling Nineteen and the rest looked at Ling Tian …
