Grand Marshal Ling cursed the entire way! His voice reverberated through the entire army! Along the way, the entire army was shouting at him. "B * stard! B * stard! Old turtle! " Amidst the loud and clear curses, everyone's face turned ashen as they hurriedly marched. The originally joyous and triumphant return had turned into a road trip for Grand Marshal Ling! Along the way, he was filled with so much energy that it made everyone click their tongues! It was as though he had been seriously injured!
Ling Tian purposely took a long walk outside before sneaking into the Smoky Thea Tower to hide for four hours. After calculating that it was about time, he slowly strolled back. Along the way, he was as slow as a turtle. He had never walked so slowly in his life before!
By the time he reached home, the entire Ling Residence was in a state of chaos. Marshal Ling, who was wrapped up in bandages and resembled an extra-large dumpling, was currently going crazy! He was determined to settle the score with Long Xiang. He jumped up and down, and no one could stop him.
"Big Brother, His Majesty was deceived by a scoundrel and was confused for a moment. Please forgive him …" This was the voice of Imperial Consort Ling Ran …
"Good brat, you dare to shout in front of this daddy? See how this daddy will deal with you!" This was the voice of Grandfather Ling …
"This daddy … I still have some good points on me. I was almost killed by someone, and you think I'm done with just one sentence of being deceived? I don't have that much guts. This daddy … so what if I'm narrow-minded and narrow-minded? I'm definitely not done!" This valiant voice naturally belonged to General Ling Xiao who was still recovering from his injuries. It was obvious that Ling Xiao wanted to call himself 'daddy', but when he saw his daddy in front of him, he forced himself to swallow his words despite being in a fit of rage.
Although Long Xiang's crimes were unforgivable, he was still Ling Ran's husband. No matter how wronged Ling Ran felt, how could she watch as her husband was beaten to death by her brother?
Grandfather Ling came personally, and Imperial Consort Ling Ran knelt and begged for her brother's forgiveness, but it was all to no avail! Ling Xiao was so angry that he was about to go crazy. Once his temper flared up, no one could stop him! He didn't even care about his own father and sister!
Ling Tian shrunk his head and glanced at them. Hmm, they're all very obedient. Ling Jian and the others were nowhere to be seen. No one knew where they had gone to hide. It seemed like they had seen that the situation was not good, and all of them had run away.
Ling Tian sighed. It seemed like his plan to use his father to deal with the Flying Dragon Special Forces was going to fail. She quietly turned around and tiptoed to find another way to return to her small courtyard. She planned to hide from the limelight first. Besides, although it had only been a few days since she last saw Ling Chen and Yu BingYan, after such a tragic battle, it felt as if a few years had passed. At this moment, when he saw every blade of grass and every tree in his home, he felt exceptionally close to them.
"That little bastard! Stop right there! You still dare to run? " Old Lady Ling was originally standing at the side and watching the show. When she turned around, she happened to see her grandson sticking his head out and trying to escape. She couldn't help but feel angry and amused at the same time.
Ling Tian kicked one foot in and one foot out of the door. He turned around with an awkward expression. Old Lady Ling had already walked over and grabbed his ear. "Let me ask you. Who ignited your father's fiery temper? Don't tell me you don't know! "
Ling Tian blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Grandma, what are you talking about? What's lit? Is the house on fire? How do I have to know! "
"Little bastard, I'll let you play dumb! You still dare to say you don't know! " Old Lady Ling scolded jokingly. She exerted some force and Ling Tian's ear immediately grew three inches. "Hurry up and say it."
"You really want to say it?!" Ling Tian was helpless.
"You must say it!" Old Lady Ling's attitude was firm.
"Ouch …" Ling Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. It really hurt this time. "Grandma, let go … It hurts … Okay, okay, I'll say it. On the way back, I met Ling Dian. At that time, my Grandson was sleeping, so I ignored him and asked him to look for my father. I don't know what happened after that … I really don't know! Aiya … "
"You still dare to say you don't know! You're still lying! " Old Lady Ling angrily added more force. She pointed a finger at Ling Xiao who was going crazy. "If he didn't have your permission, would Ling Dian have the guts to anger your recuperating father to this extent with just a few words? Also, let me ask you, when did Flying Dragon Special Forces say that they wanted to take all the women in the Ling family into the palace? "
Ling Tian was shocked. He jumped up in exasperation and his face turned green. "F * ck! I didn't say anything like that. It was all Ling Dian's nonsense. I'll teach him a lesson later! I only said … "Ling Tian suddenly paused. He came back to his senses. He was tricked! No matter how ignorant Ling Dian was, he wouldn't make up such a ridiculous lie. Looking at Old Lady Ling's half-smile, Ling Tian sighed dejectedly. The older the ginger, the spicier it was! Old and … That was … That was … That!
"What did you only say?" Old Lady Ling's eyes flashed with a sly look. "You've become bold. You actually learned to use your father as a tool? Isn't that right? "
Ling Tian sighed bitterly. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and said, "Grandma, I heard that grandpa and you are opposing each other. Isn't this helping you? Furthermore, this matter is really not a small matter. It's really hard to know how to deal with Flying Dragon Special Forces. I wonder if grandma has any good ideas to resolve this situation? "
The moment this matter was brought up, Old Lady Ling lost all interest in teasing him. She couldn't help but sigh and say with a heavy heart, "Brat, do you really think that your grandfather and I are doing this in a fit of pique? Now that the whole family is troubled by this matter, it wouldn't be appropriate to kill him or let him go. "
Ling Tian remained silent for a while before saying, "The only prerequisite is that we can't let the tiger return to the mountain! Even if we don't kill him, we can't let him go either! Let's put him under house arrest first. "As he said that, he suddenly had an idea. It was an extremely good idea.
Old Lady Ling held onto his hand and walked through the inner courtyard. As they walked, she said, "I waited for you to come back so that I could discuss with you. What should we do with the current Sky Bearing? What should our Ling family do? You already have a plan for all these, right? "
Ling Tian frowned, "Actually, I am also in a dilemma. Grandma, now is definitely not the best time for the Ling family to suddenly rise up! No matter what, we are still the subjects of the Sky Bearing Empire. Especially at such a delicate time, no matter how big of a mistake Long Xiang has made, if we were to replace him, we would be committing a heinous crime! At that time, we would turn from a victim to a traitor who wants to usurp the throne. There is even a high chance that the various powers would come to suppress us in the name of justice. Right now, the Sky Bearing Empire is in a state of desolation and there are many things that need to be done. We can no longer endure another baptism of war! Furthermore, if we were to do that, we would definitely incur the dissatisfaction of the Xiao family and the XiMen family in Tamago. Such a consequence is not something that we can bear for the time being! However, if we don't take the throne, Long Xiang would have already been pulled down by us. " Sky Bearing is already like a group of dragons without a leader … haiz! "Ling Tian shook his head and sighed, but his eyes were secretly observing Old Madam Ling's expression.
"That's right," Old Lady Ling said with worry, "The current situation is truly difficult to handle! This old lady really doesn't have any good ideas to resolve this situation. If not, I wouldn't have waited for you to return. "As she said that, she stroked her forehead and the wrinkles on her face deepened.
"Grandma, I suddenly thought of an idea," Ling Tian blinked his eyes and revealed a hidden smile, "It might be able to resolve the current situation."
"What idea? Hurry up and say it. "Old Lady Ling had been troubled by this matter for the past few days!
"Long Xiang is now in our hands, and his princes are all dead! If that's the case, why don't we do it this way. Let him issue an imperial edict to appoint the child in aunt's womb as the crown prince and ascend to the throne! Then, grandfather's father, the Minister of Rites, Wei ZhengFeng, and Shen RuHu will be the assistant ministers to take charge of political affairs and raise the banner of Sky Bearing once again! Furthermore, we have to emphasize that women in the imperial harem are not allowed to interfere in politics! "A cold light flashed past Ling Tian's eyes!
"What a … sinister move! Ling Ran is your biological aunt! "Old Madam Ling stared at her grandson in shock. She was in a daze for a moment. If they were to follow Ling Tian's plan and appoint an unborn child as the crown prince, out of the four assistant ministers, Lin Zhan and Ling Xiao were father and son. Shen RuHu was also Lin Zhan's disciple. The only outsider, Wei ZhengFeng, was only the Minister of Rites without any real power! As such, all the military and political power would be in the hands of the Ling family. Furthermore, Ling Tian even added a clause: Women in the imperial harem are not allowed to interfere in politics! This basically put an end to the trouble that Ling Ran would cause or the storm that could be stirred up if he interfered in politics!
Furthermore, this method was in accordance with the rules set by the ancestors. Or rather, it was a loophole set by the ancestors. As such, Sky Bearing would still belong to the Long family in name and the Ling family would still have the status of an official. It wouldn't attract too much attention and would instead have the effect of showing weakness to the enemy. It would give people the impression that the Ling family had no intention of ruling the world.
While everyone could clearly see that the power in Sky Bearing was controlled by the Ling family, there was nothing wrong with it. After Long Xiang treated the Ling family in such a manner, the Ling family would still be magnanimous and support the young master wholeheartedly. This would earn them a good reputation as loyal officials!
"Aunt?! Grandmother, didn't you see how my aunt begged my father to let her man off? That was a man who almost killed my father and destroyed the entire Ling family. She actually attributed it to a moment of folly and asked a man who was almost killed to let the person who harmed him off! No matter what, I won't give in on this point! "Ling Tian said resolutely.
"I'm afraid Long Xiang won't agree to this matter." Old Lady Ling said, "Furthermore, isn't this too cruel to your aunt? It's also too unfair. Tian 'er, while this method can resolve all the conflicts, Ling Ran is still your aunt after all. Isn't this a little … "
Ling Tian smiled, "Grandmother, you're overthinking things. Is it that important whether Long Xiang agrees or not?! Ah ah, do we still need his agreement? As for my aunt, I didn't want to say anything, but … Grandmother, speaking of fairness, do you really think that there is such a thing in this world? "
The corners of Ling Tian's mouth curled up into a cruel smile, "Since Long Xiang decided to deal with my Ling Family, he no longer had any feelings of being husband and wife with my aunt! Now, he still has to rely on my aunt, his last straw to save his life?! If the Ling family is destroyed, even if my aunt doesn't die, her life will be miserable! Under the pressure of Yang Xue and the Yang Family, her child might not even be able to live. Even if he is born safely, he will definitely not be able to inherit the throne! Now, even though we can't give up the world that we worked so hard to conquer in the future, we can guarantee that my aunt and her child will live a prosperous life without any worries! This is already very good to my aunt. She should be content and shouldn't complain. She shouldn't have any extravagant hopes. There was no more fitting ending than this. This is also the only choice we have right now! " If you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the legal reading!
