Yu BingYan's beautiful face turned pale as she let out a cry of surprise. Her delicate hands covered her red lips as her eyes filled with shock. Her cute little head nodded vigorously as she said, "Tian ge, don't worry, I will definitely take the medicine on time. I will definitely not let Tian ge take the slightest risk for BingYan."
As she said that, Yu BingYan's face flushed red as she lowered her head and said softly, "Yan 'er's body already belongs to you. Naturally, I hope that Tian ge and I will grow old together and never leave each other." When she said the last few words, this little princess who had always been shy finally buried her face deeply into Ling Tian's embrace.
Ling Tian chuckled and Yu BingYan who was leaning against his chest could clearly feel the vibrations in his chest. She only heard Ling Tian say dotingly, "Yan 'er, have you ever thought that after thirty or fifty years, when we are so old that we can't walk anymore, we will each have a chair to sit under the sun and take turns to count how many strands of black hair are left on each other's heads? Laughing as we watch our children and grandchildren play in front of us, this is the highest realm of husband and wife staying together for a lifetime. "
Yu BingYan nodded shyly as she couldn't help but be fascinated. She secretly raised her head and looked at Ling Tian's handsome face. She couldn't help but think in her heart: If I can stay together with Tian ge for a lifetime, growing old together … how blissful would that be? Even if you give me a celestial body, I will not exchange it!
Yu BingYan was fantasizing happily as her slender fingers gently drew circles on Ling Tian's chest. Her face was filled with tenderness as the two of them leaned against each other. Both of them felt that this moment was so peaceful, so satisfied, and so happy …
Ling Tian smiled and nodded. Towards this girl who loved him wholeheartedly, Ling Tian loved her from the bottom of his heart. As for Yu BingYan's thoughts, Ling Tian naturally guessed correctly. If he didn't make it sound so serious, perhaps this girl would still be worried about her gains and losses when taking the Great Cyclic Pill. But now, Ling Tian had first aroused Yu BingYan's concern for him, making her connect her illness with Ling Tian himself, and then painting a beautiful future for Yu BingYan, greatly arousing Yu BingYan's desire to live. He believed that in this way, this girl would definitely take the medicine meticulously, and Ling Tian would be able to relax.
Three months later, Yu BingYan's body would be able to recover to its peak condition, and Ling Tian would have the confidence to remove the frost poison in one fell swoop! Especially with the addition of Li Xue, he naturally had more confidence! Originally, Ling Tian wanted to remove Yu BingYan's Divine Black Negative Meridians today, but after probing with his internal energy, he realized that he had underestimated this strange illness. So Ling Tian doubled the amount of Great Cyclic Pill that Yu BingYan was taking.
But in this way, it was necessary to smooth out the medicinal effects of the Great Cyclic Pill in her meridians while removing the frost poison. Otherwise, the medicinal effects of the Great Cyclic Pill would be equally terrifying. Without the restraint of the Divine Black Negative Meridians in her body, with her current shallow cultivation, Yu BingYan would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the powerful medicinal effects of the Great Cyclic Pill!
Three months later! Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Three months later, winter would have just arrived, and the weather wouldn't be too cold. However, in these three months, he still needed to do something.
Ling Tian didn't know how much time had passed, but when he was about to stand up, he realized that Yu BingYan had unknowingly fallen asleep in his arms, with a sweet and satisfied smile hanging on her face. She was sleeping soundly. Looking at this sleeping face, Ling Tian had an impulse to use his entire life to protect her. He understood very well why Yu BingYan would fall asleep in his arms even though it was still daytime. He couldn't help but think that in these few months that he had left, how many nights could this lass truly sleep peacefully? Now that he had finally returned safely, Yu BingYan's heart that had been worried for the past four months could finally be put down, to the extent that she fell asleep just like that …
Ling Tian's heart was touched. Just like that, he quietly hugged Yu BingYan's soft and light body, sitting there motionlessly. The surroundings were quiet, without a single sound …
*****
Time had passed silently for a few days. In these few days, Yu BingYan had persevered in practicing martial arts after taking the medicine, while Li Xue had a further understanding and straightening out the power of the courtyard. Xiao YanXue was terribly busy dealing with the chaotic financial situation of the Ling House, and Ling Chen was in charge of the overall situation, and her feet barely touched the ground. Only Young Master Ling had an extremely relaxed life. Everything had been arranged, and he didn't have to do anything himself. Ling Tian, who had always been able to sit and never stand, was naturally happy to slack off … During the day, he practiced martial arts and read books, and at night, he would hug Ling Chen and whisper sweet nothings to her. Naturally, he would also do other things. His life was extremely carefree.
Until this day …
In the four major intelligence networks of the Ling House courtyard, Ling Jiu, who was in charge of intelligence on the East, rushed into the Ling House courtyard like a whirlwind, looking anxious and sweating profusely.
Not long after, Ling Chen quickly walked into Ling Tian's room with a grim face. "Young Master, I'm afraid something has happened in the East."
"Oh? Something has happened in the East? "Ling Tian looked up." News from Ling Jiu? "
"Yes, as early as three days ago, Ling Jiu did not receive any news from Li City. Until today, there is still no news from Li City. However, news from the neighboring cities has been sent back at least four times in the past three days." Ling Chen's voice was a little serious. Since the establishment of the Ling House courtyard's intelligence network, this was the first time something like this had happened. It was even more abnormal for something like this to happen right before a great war.
Ling Tian's fingers tapped on the table gently as he asked slowly. "Li City? Is that Li City that lies in the path of Xiao FengYang's army? "
"Yes. Li City is the easternmost barrier of Sky Bearing. If Li City falls, then Meng County, Zhoukou, and Qu County will be completely exposed to the attack of Xiao FengYang's army. After breaking through these few cities, they will be less than 150 miles away from Sky Bearing's capital. Furthermore, the entire path will be flat, and there won't be any dangerous passes to defend. "Ling Chen said worriedly.
"Looks like the Xiao family can't help but want to make a move on us first." Ling Tian smiled lightly as a cold light flashed past his eyes. "I originally wanted to delay Southern Zheng until DongFang JingLei has a certain amount of strength, and then attack Xiao FengYang from three sides. I didn't expect that old fox to make a move first. Furthermore, he is attacking Li City while he is alone? This doesn't fit Xiao FengYang's style. "
Ling Chen nodded her head in deep thought. "Young noble, do you want to send someone over to take a look?"
Ling Tian chuckled. "Chen 'er, I haven't returned yet. Naturally, you are still the one in charge. Do whatever you want. Let me take a good look at Chen 'er's ability to strategize, alright? "
"Young noble is making fun of me again." Ling Chen twisted her body unhappily. She then said, "Although Li City's intelligence network has been temporarily cut off, the surrounding three cities are still operating normally. Therefore, my guess is that the enemy only attacked Li City after discovering it, and the surrounding three cities weren't affected. It looks like they didn't get any information from us. Otherwise, the intelligence network of the surrounding three cities would have been completely uprooted. "
Ling Chen's eyes flashed with wisdom as she analyzed. "According to the information from the surrounding three cities, there isn't any specific information about Xiao FengYang's army. Therefore, the attack on Li City should be the work of the Xiao family's elites, and not the movement of the army. Their main goal should be to eliminate our spies in Li City. If that's the case, there are only two possibilities. "
Ling Tian smiled as he listened to Ling Chen's analysis. He was very satisfied in his heart. It seemed that Ling Chen had improved a lot in the time he wasn't around. Right now, her thinking already had the embryonic form of an astute commander. This made Ling Tian feel extremely gratified.
Ling Chen continued, "Firstly, Xiao FengYang is preparing to take down Li City in one go, and enter the hinterlands of Sky Bearing. Secondly, his goal should be to cut off our intelligence network in the east, and then the Xiao family's army will turn to another direction. Regardless of which one it is, we can't treat it lightly. "
"Then, in your opinion, which possibility is it?" Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
Ling Tian's relaxed attitude allowed Ling Chen to calm down. Ling Chen sat down slowly, frowning as she thought for a while. Only then did she say with uncertainty, "Chen 'er thinks that the second possibility is more likely. After all, with a lone army entering deep into the enemy's territory, the risk of being wiped out is very high. With Xiao FengYang's character, it's unlikely that he would do such a thing! "
Ling Tian gave a praising smile, before asking, "If it's the second possibility, then which side will Xiao FengYang move towards?"
As he said that, Ling Tian smiled and reminded, "On one side, there is my father's 200,000 troops, facing off against the Southern Zheng. On the other side, there is General Shen's 150,000 troops, pressuring the border between Sky Bearing and Eastern Zhao. If Xiao FengYang has other plans, he will definitely choose one of the two sides. The distance between Xiao FengYang's troops is about the same. "Ling Tian smiled," Which side do you think Xiao FengYang will choose? "
Ling Chen stared blankly for a moment, before muttering, "This point … is hard to determine."
Ling Tian couldn't help but let out a light laugh, before asking, "Does the military advisor know about this matter?"
Ling Chen replied, "Before I came, I already sent someone to inform the military advisor to come here for a meeting. He should be here soon."
Before she finished speaking, Meng Lige had already unhurriedly opened the curtains and walked in. He gave a scholarly bow, before sitting down leisurely. Only then did Ling Tian realize that in the hands of this military advisor, there was actually a small and exquisite teapot. Steam was rising in spirals, emitting a faint tea fragrance, as well as a hint of bitterness.
"Mister really knows how to enjoy life." Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh.
Meng Lige narrowed his eyes, stroking his beard as he said with a smile, "As a general, one must guard against arrogance and rashness. Before a big battle, the first thing one must do is to calm one's heart. If one's heart is in chaos, the battle will be in chaos. Using tea to calm one's heart is a habit of mine. "
"This is a good habit." Ling Tian praised, "Mmm, the tea in Mister's hands, is it the Yin Dried Lotus Core?"
"It is indeed the Yin Dried Lotus Core." Meng Lige said with some astonishment, "Mister really is a kindred spirit, being able to identify it with just one smell. This really surprises me."
Ling Tian chuckled, and said gently, "The Yin Dried Lotus Core disperses a bitter taste. If you stir-fry the lotus core, although it is still light, it doesn't have this bitter taste. It is like a sour plum in May, lacking a bit of youthfulness. But it is precisely this youthfulness that is the most valuable part of the lotus core."
"Mister's words are brilliant!" Meng Lige clapped his hands and praised, laughing loudly.
Ling Chen looked at the two of them with some frustration. The matter was already extremely urgent, and the enemy was about to come knocking on their door. But the two of them didn't talk about the matter at all. Instead, they were discussing tea leaves. It was really incomprehensible.
