This was a small, desolate courtyard.
Ling Jian, who was dressed in black, held a small piece of paper in his hand as a bitter smile appeared on his face. His ice-cold face revealed a hint of warmth, "Lass Chen really understands me and knows what I am most afraid of. But … even so, I … "
Ling Feng and Ling Yun came up to him. After reading the piece of paper, Ling Feng's face turned solemn as he advised, "Brother Jian, I know what you are planning to do. However, I feel that you should reconsider this matter. Tamago is not like any other palace. In terms of danger, even Beyond Heavens might not be able to compare to Tamago! Since Sister Chen has given you such a condition, it is obvious that she does not want you to take the risk. If you still insist on going, I'm afraid … "
"No! It is the exact opposite. " Ling Jian shook his head confidently. "If she did not want me to go, the letter would have said 'return quickly without delay'. Chen 'er is also very hesitant. She is afraid that something will happen to me, but she is not willing to give up such a good opportunity. That is why she gave me such a condition. That is to say that she agrees to let me go. She is just pressuring me to be more careful."
Ling Jian's gaze swept across the faces of Ling Yun and the rest. A smile appeared on his cold face as he said, "All of you have already seen through it, but you are just trying to misinterpret her words right?"
"Furthermore, this matter has already reached a critical juncture. Being indecisive would only bring chaos to the Yu Family. The Yu Family was constantly producing new powers and no one knew just how many more powers were hidden in the Yu Family. It is not important now, but once young noble returns, the war will begin. At that time, we will all be serving young noble and will not be able to care about these things. However, these hidden powers will be a destructive force to our Ling Army and will be able to affect the outcome of the war. We cannot afford to lose them! "
Ling Jian's face turned solemn as he said, "Young noble has always said that we must look at every problem from a strategic point of view. We must look at the outcome of the war. Every effort we put into the war is for the sake of the war's outcome! As for the hidden powers in Tamago, they are able to influence everything. If we do not understand them, we will not be able to eat or sleep in peace! I have to go, I can't not go! Furthermore, Ye BaiFei was able to escape unscathed when he tried to assassinate Yu ManLou back then. With my martial arts far surpassing Ye BaiFei, how could anything happen to me?! Even the thousand-year-old Tamago may not be able to keep me here! "
"Since that's the case, Brother Jian, please be careful. I … I won't say anything else." Ling Feng knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade him, so he let out a long sigh and left.
"So what if it's Tamago? Even if it's really a tiger's den, do you think it can trap me, Ling Jian?" Ling Jian smiled coldly. "If we don't go, do you want Young Master to go personally? Could it be that we're just idlers that Young Master raised? "
"Tonight, the six of us will be your backup. No matter what, we have to figure out Tamago's background! Just don't tell Sister Chen! " Ling Yun said passionately. The moment they heard that, the other five revealed a battle-lust in their eyes as they looked at Ling Jian eagerly.
"Definitely not!" Ling Jian rejected. "Lass Chen has said it clearly. You guys are not allowed to go! Are you guys going to defy her orders? Do you know why she said that? "Ling Jian looked at them coldly." It's because you guys aren't able to help me yet! Tamago might not be able to keep me here, but that doesn't mean that I can't keep you guys here! You guys have to remember that when Young Master isn't around, Lass Chen's words are equivalent to Young Master's words. I don't want to hear any more words of disobedience! I don't want such a thing to happen a second time! "
The six of them lowered their heads in shame, unable to show their faces. This was especially so for Ling Yun, whose face was pale and his clothes were drenched in sweat.
"In terms of ambushes and assassinations, all of you are undoubtedly experts! In terms of assassination experience, with Young Master's teachings and my example, all of you have already surpassed all the assassins in the world. I believe that even if Tamago's Family Head Yu ManLou is caught off guard, the six of you would still be able to kill him! "Ling Jian said coldly," But in terms of direct combat, all of you are still far from it! Don't think that just because you guys were able to defeat Yu ManTian, you guys are amazing. In this world, there are many experts. After this matter, return to the Courtyard and undergo special training! "
The six of them lowered their heads in acknowledgement, not daring to say another word.
Ling Jian turned around and said in a low voice, "Tonight, I will enter Tamago! If I don't return by then, all of you will leave on your own and return to Sky Bearing immediately! You can't stay here for even a moment! You don't have to care about my life or death! "
"Brother Jian!" The six of them raised their heads abruptly. Their eyes had already turned red!
"I have already made up my mind, do not speak anymore!" Ling Jian roared, "Did you hear what I said just now?! Don't tell me you guys are going to go against me again?! "
The six of them stared at Ling Jian with bloodshot eyes, but none of them said a word.
Ling Jian said coldly, "If I don't return, this will be my last order. Do all of you want to go against my orders?! "
Ling Feng took a step forward and said with a trembling voice, "Rest assured brother Jian, we swear to follow brother Jian's orders to the death. Brother Jian is blessed by the heavens and will definitely be fine. You will definitely return victorious!"
"Blessed by the heavens?" Ling Jian let out a strange laugh, "I, Ling Jian, have had my hands covered in blood since I was nine years old. I have been in charge of the First Pavilion for six years, controlling the life and death of the people! In this period of time, the number of people who have died under my sword is innumerable. A rough estimate would be in the thousands! I remember Young Master's words, 'Killing one is a crime, but killing ten thousand is a hero. Killing nine million is considered a hero among heroes! '! This is how a man should be. What regrets does a man have in life? "
Ling Jian let out a hearty laugh that sounded like metal clashing against metal. With a flash of his black robe, he strode out of the door, leaving behind a sentence, "If you guys secretly follow me tonight, I will kill all of you first! My subordinates will not be allowed to go against me! "
When the sky was about to turn dark, a man and a woman walked in from the west gate of Bright Jade City. Although they did not look old, they looked like they had experienced a lot of hardships. The young man's face was dark, like a piece of charcoal, with a faint oily glow. On top of his head, his appearance was simply unbearable to look at. He had a pair of small triangular eyes and two broom-like eyebrows. Unfortunately, there was also a strand of messy hair that drooped down diagonally, covering half of his face. It made his face even uglier than it already was.
From head to toe, only his tall and slender figure was more pleasing to the eye.
The young girl's figure was not bad. If one looked at her from the back, one would definitely have the impulse to commit a crime. But if one looked at her from the front, it would not be a crime, but a legitimate defense. Her skin was slightly dark, and her face was sallow and emaciated, as if she had not eaten a full meal in years. Her eyes were especially big from hunger, and the vicissitudes of life were etched on her face. Where was the slightest bit of youthful beauty?! Both of them were wearing the most common of coarse clothes. They were still considered clean, but they had been washed until they were bleached white. In inconspicuous places, there were even patches or two obscurely placed on them.
A pair of paupers! A pair of paupers without a single bit of wealth! The guards at the gate did not even bother to ask. They snorted and waved their hands, gesturing for the two of them to hurry in. They did not want to be stained with bad luck if they stayed at the gate for too long. They did not even have the interest to ask for benefits from the routine inspection. A pair of paupers like this, could it be that they would be able to take out gold ingots?
At the side, a few people in purple robes looked at the two of them suspiciously. Although they did not find anything wrong, they faintly felt that there was something wrong with this pair of man and woman. It seemed like … a very dangerous feeling … could they be enemies?!
The man and woman looked as if they had been pardoned. Under everyone's gaze, they quickly entered the city. From afar, the two of them could be heard talking.
"Brother, this city is so big, and so beautiful. There are so many people. "
"Of course, you haven't been out before. It's your first time entering the city, and you already feel that it's new. I, your brother, have seen the world. A city like this is quite good. Er Niu, later when we find uncle, you have to behave well. Who knows, maybe uncle will find you a good husband. Just like the Tamago that they mentioned, it's not bad. Why don't you consider it? "
"En en en, that's right, that's right. Brother, if I become the young mistress of the Tamago, I'll definitely let you eat cornbread and drink rice porridge every day."
"Hehe, if that's the case, I'll be living a happy life. Sister, when the time comes, remember that your brother wants two bowls of rice porridge. I'll drink one bowl and throw the other away. We'll also put on airs and annoy that bastard Er Gou.
….
"Pei! So it's a pair of brother and sister who have gone crazy from poverty. They really know how to daydream. They actually want to become the young mistress of the Tamago! Pei, with that kind of morality, I wouldn't even want to marry you as my concubine … "The guards at the gate spat in disdain. In his heart, he sighed. Why do people like to daydream so much these days?
Illusion, it must be an illusion. For such a person to actually give us such a dangerous feeling, it seems like we are being overly paranoid. This is all because of that darn Ling Tian! Why isn't he dead yet?!
By the side, the suspicions in the eyes of the few experts of the Yu Family had also been completely erased. They began to focus their attention on the others, completely forgetting about this pair of poor siblings in the blink of an eye.
In the world, there were too many people who daydreamed like this and it wasn't worth making a fuss over.
"Tamago really did send people to guard the city gates. Thankfully, we were careful enough to disguise ourselves. If we were a little careless, we might not even be able to pass through the city gates." The poor sister stuck out her tongue playfully.
"This young noble has divine foresight, so how can I be wrong?" The triangular-eyed elder brother said with delight, "Furthermore, we have already killed 16 assassins near Bright Jade City and even released one of them to report back. If Yu ManLou is still not careful, wouldn't he be worse than you?"
"You … hateful!" The sister stomped her foot and pinched her brother's waist. "But isn't it a little too ridiculous for you to dress up like this? It's bad enough that you dressed up as a ghost and horse, but you even forced me to do the same! "
"Alright, alright, you still dare to scold me? You are really unreasonable. You were the one who personally made me look like this and now you have the cheek to say that I am ugly? Besides, when did I force you to disguise yourself? You were the one who disguised yourself! "The brother said innocently." I am even more wronged than Dou E! "
"Hmph, who asked you to make me dress up as your sister? With a brother like you, how can his sister be so pretty? You still dare to say that you didn't force me?! "The young lady kicked a pebble on the ground angrily with her cheeks puffed up.
After I finished updating, I saw that there were still some brothers and sisters who were voting. To be honest, with such a speed, I feel like I am letting my brothers and sisters down by saying the word 'vote'. If brothers and sisters have the heart, please vote for Feng Ling when he comes back to update. Thank you in advance.
