When they were about to leave, another matter occurred.
Just as XiMen Sa and Ling Tian cupped their fists and parted ways, Ling Chi took a step forward and said with a smile, "The young noble of the XiMen Family is indeed good. His charm is outstanding and he is very handsome, just like a girl. No wonder he is so close to my young noble." The faces of the XiMen Family members all changed. Apart from feeling that this brat was just like how he called his mother-in-law sister-in-law, they also felt that his words were extremely ear-piercing. A few of them could not help but reveal looks of anger. However, they were also afraid of Ling Tian's might and did not dare to act rashly.
XiMen Sa then said with a smile, "This brother is too kind. Speaking of gaining the favor of Prince Ling, who can compare to the five of you? It can be seen that the people of Sky Bearing are also extremely outstanding. Mmm … for example, I went to Sky Bearing once and got to know an extremely interesting friend. Oh, his name seems to be something like Dou Dan. I have always called him that. However, it has been many years since we last met. I wonder how Dou Dan is doing now. " As he said that, XiMen Sa let out a sigh and reminisced, "The past is like smoke. I really miss that Dou Dan. I remember that in order to steal a chicken, that brat even fell into someone else's latrine …"
Ling Chi's face turned green and red as he glared at XiMen Sa, "Who knows when young noble XiMen will also fall into the latrine. Goodbye!" XiMen Sa laughed.
The first half of XiMen Sa's words could be said to be extremely vicious, but the second half was completely irrelevant. The members of the XiMen Family felt that their young noble was quick-witted and had helped them vent their anger. Thus, they did not take Ling Chi's words to heart.
Today, Ling Tian's temper was also exceptionally good. He did not pursue XiMen Sa's words and both parties bid farewell!
Ling Tian then brought Ling Chi and the rest back to Swallow City. Along the way, Ling Tian, who had been 'ridiculed' by others, actually had a gentle expression on his face. Even his eyes had a hint of a smile. It was obvious that his mood was extremely good! However, along the way, Ling Chi, who seemed to have been insulted by someone, was fuming like a toad. He gritted his teeth and groaned. Ling Yun and Ling Nineteen weren't normal either. They were holding their stomachs as they rode on their horses. They were out of breath and laughing so hard that their faces were cramping …
'What's wrong with these people? Are they all crazy?!'
In fact, it was unknown if anyone still remembered that the rather glorious name "Gou Dan" was actually the name Ling Chi used when he was a beggar. Ling Chi had fallen into the latrine pit because he stole a chicken and fell into the latrine pit. This was naturally Ling Chi's greatest "taboo". Now that it was suddenly exposed, Ling Chi couldn't help but fly into a rage! Could it be that he really wanted to bicker with that Ximen Sa?
En, as for why he couldn't be bothered with Ling Tian and the five little ones, and why Ling Tian and the rest didn't make a fuss about it, that was because he had another name. That name was Ling Thirty!
This Ling Thirty was Ling Chi's little friend when he was a beggar. He was also one of the fifty people who received training at the same time. Naturally, he was familiar with Ling Chi's embarrassing past. When he said that Ling Tian doted on the five little ones, it was definitely from the bottom of his heart. It was definitely out of pure jealousy and envy. He didn't know how much he wanted to stay by Ling Tian's side. Of course, how the other members of the XiMen Family interpreted it was their own business!
Back then, Ling Tian had secretly arranged for Ling Thirty to infiltrate the XiMen Family. Relying on the concealment of his young age, in addition to his outstanding talent and intelligence, as well as the information provided by Ling Tian, he naturally performed outstandingly and made great contributions. He became a rising star of the XiMen Family, and even won the appreciation of the head of the XiMen Family, XiMen WuYi. An exception was made, and he was taken in as the foster son of the XiMen Family. Of course, the so-called foster son of the XiMen Family was also a method to win over the XiMen Family. However, the world had changed. At this moment, the true young masters of the XiMen Family had all been eradicated by Ling Tian. As the 'number one' foster son, Ling Thirty was like a fish in water, and had become the leader of the younger generation of the XiMen Family!
As for why Ling Thirty's martial arts were able to reach a level comparable to the five youngsters, it was because the head of the XiMen Family, XiMen WuYi, had used a special medicine to increase Ling Thirty's martial arts. Although this medicine could allow Ling Thirty's martial arts to progress extremely quickly in the beginning, it would forever prevent him from entering the Xiantian realm. However, Ling Tian had secretly given Ling Thirty a top-grade Great Revitalizing Pill. With the nourishment of the top-grade Great Revitalizing Pill, Ling Thirty's previous maladies should be able to be removed, and his martial arts should be able to advance by leaps and bounds!
In fact, today's matter was also arranged by Ling Tian. On the night that Ling Tian and Han TieXuan had finished their discussion, Ling Tian had sent a message to Ling Eight, who was in charge of intelligence in the west, to send a message to Ling Thirty, telling him to rush over by today. After half a night of non-stop travel, Ling Thirty did not disappoint Ling Tian's expectations, and successfully arrived.
Although Han TieXuan had left behind a deputy general to lead a few thousand troops to receive the spoils of war, Ling Tian did not pay any attention to such a small character. At this moment, he had handed over all the spoils of war from the Western Han to his new friend — Ling Thirty.
Ling Tian had two intentions. First, it was to further stabilize Ling Thirty's position in the XiMen Family. This would make it easier for him to expand his influence in the XiMen Family, and at the same time, gain the recognition of the Western Han Royal Family and the military. After all, not everyone could snatch something from the hands of Ling Tian, let alone such a glorious harvest. Ling Tian was also satisfied with Ling Thirty's performance. Just from the previous conversation of wisdom, it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to say such things!
Second, since Ling Tian already knew that Han TieXuan was from the Tamago, how could he be willing to let Han TieXuan take all the credit for himself and raise his status in the Western Han? Therefore, Ling Tian had no choice but to destroy it!
With this move, although everyone could see that Ling Thirty had picked up a ready-made bargain, and although he dared to challenge Ling Tian, he still snatched all the credit from Han TieXuan. However, Ling Tian could be sure that the Western Han Royal Family would definitely pretend to be confused, and honestly give half of the credit to Ling Thirty, at least half.
This was a matter of balance between the Royal Family and the Royal Family. As long as the Western Han Emperor wasn't an idiot, he would never allow Han TieXuan, a general with a large army, to return with such a huge merit! The territory that Han TieXuan had conquered was close to half of the entire Western Korea. Such a great merit could be said to be undeserving of rewards and titles. It was as if his merit overshadowed that of his master! Now that half of Ling Thirty's credit was given away, to the Western Han Emperor and his subjects, it was a happy ending! This was especially so for the XiMen Family. The XiMen Family had suffered a great loss in Sky Bearing and was at a critical juncture. They could make use of this heaven-sent opportunity to slowly recover their strength and grow stronger. As one of the Eight Great Families in Heavenly Star, they were like a worm that died but did not fall over. If one were to talk about unhappiness, perhaps only Han TieXuan would be unhappy. However, this was not something that Ling Tian needed to consider.
According to Ling Tian's conjecture, the reason why Tamago was willing to give him such a huge victory was probably because he had the confidence to obtain the Western Han with Han TieXuan's help! Although this was only Ling Tian's conjecture, regardless of whether it was true or not, Ling Tian would definitely not allow more power in the Western Han to fall into the hands of Han TieXuan! This was definitely not a situation that Ling Tian wanted to see!
Thinking about this, Ling Tian could not help but let out a smile. He stroked his chin as he thought to himself, If the XiMen Family were to treat Ling Thirty as the next Family Head … how wonderful would that be! How much effort would that save him?
After calming himself down, Ling Tian realized that the few of them were looking at him suspiciously, their faces full of curiosity. Ling Tian chuckled and waved his hands, "Tell Feng Mo to use the method that I gave him to look after the surrendered soldiers. After that, divide them into a few batches and escort them back to Sky Bearing. Also, prepare a few more carriages and more bedding. Make sure that they are comfortable. We will immediately set off with father and the rest."
Ling Chi agreed and took the lead to gallop into the city. Mmm, let's avoid these few fellows who are laughing at me first.
"The dust has more or less settled on both sides. However, after we return, there are still many things that we need to do." Ling Tian smiled before frowning again. "The enemy is already gone, vanishing into thin air. This storm has finally passed. But … why do I have a feeling of nervousness? It is as though a storm is about to come. Is it a misconception? Or did I miscalculate something?! "
Ling Tian shook his head, "Forget it, the boat will naturally cross the bridge when it comes to it. No matter what, we can finally relax for a period of time. "
With the threat of the Northern Wei gone, they would definitely not be able to recover from this setback! Sky Bearing now completely belonged to the Ling Family, and the Yang Family had been reduced to ashes, with not even a chicken or dog remaining. With the power of Sky Bearing in his hands, Ling Tian seemed to be able to relax. After so many years of conscientious work, even someone as determined as Ling Tian felt a little tired. Now that all the enemies in the open and in the dark had disappeared without a trace, Ling Tian finally felt that it was time for him to let out a sigh of relief. At the very least, he should be able to focus on resting and watching the world, right? Ling Tian thought to himself.
However, Ling Tian was destined to be disappointed.
How could everything in the world go according to one's wishes?!
In this world, Ling Tian's legend had only just begun, and his magnificent life had only just begun …
In the palace of the Northern Wei. Deep into the night, it was completely silent!
Wei ChengPing suddenly jumped up from the bed. With his eyes closed, he waved his hands and shouted, "No! No! Please, I beg you … Wuwuwu … Don't kill me, don't kill me … Wuwuwu … Young Master Ling, oh no, Lord Ling … Grandpa Ling, Ancestor Ling … Please let me go … I was wrong, don't kill me … "
The eunuchs and palace maids standing by the side all sighed, "It's starting again!" Just what kind of provocation did this crown prince receive from that Ling brat? Why is he so afraid of him? Even his grandfather and ancestor are here, where is the demeanor of an imperial descendant?!
Ever since Wei Chengping was protected by his bodyguards and escaped in a sorry state, he had fallen ill on his bed, feverish and spouting nonsense day and night. Up until now, he had been in a semi-conscious state for three whole days!
In these three days, he had been mumbling nonstop, cursing with his teeth clenched, and begging for mercy in a panic. However, the target of his cursing and begging was only one person: Ling Tian!
