"Hehe … Huang Jin is blushing again …" Ling Chi pointed at Ling Seventeen as his body trembled uncontrollably.
"You little bastard …" Ling Seventeen's face didn't turn red initially, but after hearing Ling Chi's words, he turned red. He glared at Ling Chi and waved his fist.
"Huang … Eh, Seventeen, what's wrong? Are you in a difficult position?" Ling Jian almost blurted out Ling Seventeen's nickname.
"It's not a difficult position at all. Boss, it's extremely difficult." Ling Seventeen said with a sullen face, "I, Old Seventeen, have never been afraid of death. However, I'm afraid that even if I die, I won't be able to complete the mission that young noble has given me. Furthermore, it's such an important mission. That would be the worst possible outcome."
"Oh," Ling Jian looked at him with a faint smile, "There's no need to be anxious. Young noble is already here. I'll tell him that Ling Seventeen doesn't have the ability to complete this mission. I'm sure young noble will understand. "Ling Jian sneered and walked away.
"Don't … don't … brother Jian, Sword Ancestor …" Ling Seventeen pounced forward and hugged onto Ling Jian's legs tightly. He dragged himself on the ground for two steps and was on the verge of tears, "Ancestor, please don't play with me. I'll die. "
Ling Tian sat on a large, smooth rock with a group of burly men standing respectfully around him.
"Tell me, what's the problem?" Ling Tian looked at the chimpanzee-like Ling Seventeen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in amazement. Back in the Courtyard, this fellow was already able to eat more than the rest and his body was also much more muscular than the rest. However, Ling Tian never imagined that in just a few years, his body would actually develop horizontally. Right now, he looked like a rectangle and Ling Tian wondered if he would really turn into a square in a few more years.
In particular, his face was extremely rugged. His entire face was covered with a beard that looked like steel needles. No one would have thought that this barbarian, who looked like a chimpanzee and was at least thirty years old, was actually less than eighteen years old. Ling Tian almost suspected that this guy had taken hormones.
"Young Master, this subordinate's intention is to launch a surprise attack and take down the twenty or so military depots in the vicinity. Then, send people to guard the two ends of the road while the rest of the people dig the entire road for him. Wouldn't this complete the mission that Big Sister Chen gave us?" Ling Seventeen's thick carrot-like fingers scratched his squarish head, causing a patch of snow-white dandruff to flutter in the wind. With a coarse voice and an honest look, he shrugged and said helplessly, "It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower."
"Pfff!" Ling Seventeen's face was covered with water. Frowning miserably, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve. She really didn't expect that the young master would suddenly spit out while listening to her report.
Ling Tian had just taken a sip of water from the water bottle that Ling Chi handed over to him, but he choked on it and coughed uncontrollably. "What did you say? Ambushing 20 … military depots? And he had to defend two of them? Dig up the entire road?? "
Ling Tian stood up and kicked Ling Seventeen's thick shoulder, feeling both angry and amused at the same time. "Motherf * cker, it's impossible to ambush 20 military depots without at least 5,000 soldiers. Furthermore, to defend two of them, we would need at least 50,000 soldiers and we might not even be able to defend them! As for digging up this part of the road, it's a good idea … but the ground is filled with rocks that are harder than steel. Tell me, how are we supposed to dig it up? You have at most a thousand men and you actually came up with such a huge battle plan? I really don't know if I should praise you for being a genius or scold you for being an idiot! If it's as you thought, then I might as well gather all my men and have a decisive battle here. Why bother mentioning about destroying the supply route? Only you can think of something like this. "
"Kekeke … Gold is a pig brain!" Ling Chi was taking pleasure in Ling Tian's misfortune while adding insult to injury.
The thick-skinned Ling Seventeen rolled on the ground after being kicked by Ling Tian. He stood up in a daze, completely unscathed. A few withered leaves stuck to his nest-like hair, and he blinked his bell-like eyes in confusion. "Erm … it was Sister Chen who instructed me … to destroy the supply route. If we don't dig up the road, how are we going to destroy it?"
"Sigh!" Ling Tian looked up at the sky and sighed. He felt like banging his head on the ground. It was like playing the lute to a cow.
"Stupid pig! Do you have to dig up the road to destroy the supply route? " Feeling that he had lost a great deal of face, Ling Jian gave this idiot a round of punches and kicks, beating him to the point that he covered his head and scurried away like a rat. "Setting fire to the Xiao Family is also cutting off the supply route. Killing them all is also cutting off the supply route. Even if I were to infiltrate the Xiao Family and wipe them all out, I would still be cutting off the supply route! Do you understand? "
Ling Seventeen used one hand to protect his head and the other hand to protect his crotch. Protecting the two important parts of his body, Ling Tian had taught him many years ago, "Cover your head, hug your balls, and beat them up however you want!" His body swayed left and right under Ling Jian's punches as he begged for mercy, "Brother Jian … I will gather my men and infiltrate the Southeast Xiao family … to kill …"
"F * ck!" Ling Tian was completely speechless.
That old saying was true. Like teacher, like disciple. Ling Jian's idea was also a terrible one. It wasn't any better than Ling Seventeen's idea of digging up the road. In fact, it was even worse! To think that he was still angrily scolding his subordinates and calling them stupid pigs. In fact, he himself wasn't that smart either. The two brothers sat on the ground and looked exactly the same.
Kill everyone? If they could really kill everyone, why would they need to destroy the supply route? Wouldn't that be the same as taking off their pants to fart?!
Hundreds of thousands of people were like hundreds of thousands of pigs standing there for you to kill. With these people in front of them, it would take at least a few months!
"Stop fooling around! You are all a bunch of pigs! Don't laugh at me in front of your big brother! "Ling Tian angrily roared," Hurry up and show me the map of this area! "
Ling Tian sighed helplessly in his heart. Relying on a bandit and an assassin to destroy the supply route that was designed by a military expert was simply ridiculous! How did Meng Lige come up with this idea back then? One must know that everyone had their own specialization …
Seeing that Ling Jian had finally stopped his attacks, Ling Seventeen carefully removed his fan-like hands from his head and crotch. To the thick-skinned Ling Seventeen, this round of beating was nothing to him. He turned around and looked at his subordinates. Seeing that they were all in a daze, he shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear that young master wanted the geographical map? You bunch of bastards, why aren't you going to get it? A bunch of dumb pigs! Do you want me to use my whip to enlighten you again? "
With a loud bang, the bandits scattered like birds and beasts. All of them rushed back to get the geographical map …
Ling Tian frowned and sighed. In order to get a geographical map that wasn't even 200 grams thick, over a hundred people actually ran over …
On the other side, Ling Seventeen turned around with a fawning smile and hurriedly bowed and said, "Young master, don't be anxious … Erm, the children have already gone to get it and will be here soon. Hehe … Hehe … These fellows are just a little slow to react … Actually, it's nothing much. Hehe, just give them a beating, hehehe … "
Ling Tian looked at this honest and fawning face and was speechless. He only felt his stomach churning. After a long while, he sighed and said helplessly, "Seventeen, I finally know why you were able to drop the gold in your pants back then. I also completely understand how Ling Jian felt when he trained you back then. It wasn't easy. "
Ling Seventeen widened his eyes and blinked. He didn't understand why this matter was related to that embarrassing incident from back then. Furthermore, what did it have to do with Boss Ling Jian? What wasn't easy for him? Young master's words were truly unfathomable. He was indeed a knowledgeable person.
Feng Mo, Ling Jian, and Ling Chi looked at the puzzled Ling Seventeen with a wide grin on their faces.
The sound of footsteps broke Ling Seventeen's doubts. Ling Seventeen snatched the map from his subordinate's trembling hands and turned around to present it to Ling Tian as if he was presenting a treasure. He anxiously opened it and said with a fawning smile, "Young master, hehe, the map is here."
"Rip —" Due to his excitement and impatience, he accidentally tore a large hole in the geographical map that he had just brought over with his carrot-like hand. Ling Tian, who was looking over to take a look, raised his eyebrows and was about to explode.
"Scram to the side!" Ling Jian kicked Ling Seventeen's butt and scolded him fiercely.
Ling Seventeen covered his butt and stood to the side shamelessly. He didn't feel the slightest bit of shame and smiled obsequiously at Ling Chi, "Hehe, Goudan, hehehe …"
Ling Chi rolled his eyes and turned his face to the side speechlessly. Ling Chi really couldn't do anything to such a shameless person. Of course, there was no need to be angry with him. Being angry with Ling Seventeen was a classic example of wasting feelings. Even if you were about to explode from anger, he still wouldn't understand why you were angry …
Ling Tian furrowed his brows and carefully looked at the rather large map in front of him. After pondering for a long time, he finally made up his mind and pointed his finger at the map, "It's here!" All of a sudden, a helpless smile appeared on Ling Jian's face. Ling Jian could sense that there was a trace of pity in Ling Tian's smile. He couldn't help but be startled. Why? Why did he feel like this?
Looking at the direction Ling Tian was pointing at, it should be a huge lake with a blue river below it. Looking along the river, there were towering peaks on both sides and a wide road in the middle. On top of the road, there was a sturdy castle. This was the most dangerous place in the Southeast, 'Heavenly Water Ravine Pass'! This was also the natural barrier for the Xiao family in the Southeast!
Only after passing through this Heavenly Water Ravine Pass would there be three thousand li of fertile land surrounded by mountains. This was the true sphere of influence of the Xiao family. In the past five hundred years, no one had been able to enter the Xiao family's kingdom!
Regardless of whether it was the Xiao family's army or the outside world's invasion, they had to pass through this Heavenly Water Ravine Pass. There was no other way! The mountain range that stretched for thousands of li was steep and steep, piercing through the clouds. It was almost impossible for any army to cross it!
This' Heavenly Water Ravine Pass' could be said to be a place where one man could hold back ten thousand men! The Xiao Family had arranged a total of ten regiments of soldiers to guard this iron barrel-like pass, which only required two thousand men to guard!
Ten thousand men!
And this was only the regular troops stationed there. It didn't include the personal guards, military supplies, and other miscellaneous soldiers. If all of them were included, there would be at least twenty thousand men! No matter how badly the Xiao family was defeated outside, as long as they had this pass in their hands, the three thousand li of mountains and rivers inside would be their unshakable territory! Even if all the soldiers outside were to die, as long as the Xiao family was given a few decades of time to recuperate, they would be able to command hundreds of thousands of cavalry and conquer the world!
The Xiao Family's supply line was directly sent out from here, and the defense along the way was extremely tight. There was simply no way to find a place to attack. If they wanted to cut off the supply line, even if it was just for a mere three days, it would be extremely difficult! Unless they had control over this impregnable pass, it would be impossible to do so! Other than that, no matter what kind of damage was done, the Xiao family would be able to quickly restore the supply route within a day or two. As for small disturbances, it would be completely useless.
The plans that Ling Tian and Meng LiGe had come up with were all empty talk in front of this majestic mountain pass!
Thus, Ling Tian decided that this time, it would not be just a matter of cutting off the Xiao family's supply route!
If he was going to play, he would play big. Since he had decided to play big, he might as well bring forward the final battle!
A crazy battle intent rose in Ling Tian's heart! Either half of the continent would be pacified, or the entire continent would be plunged into chaos!
"Could it be that Young Master intends to seize this Heavenly Water Ravine Pass?" Ling Jian sucked in a breath of cold air. Even someone as daring as Ling Jian had never thought of the possibility of success. The people guarding this pass had always been the most loyal of the Xiao family's direct descendants. They were the most loyal of the most loyal, and also experts of the experts!
How could it be easy to take it down in one go?!
Ling Jian knew that if he, his young noble, and a few others were to attempt the trial, they would be able to make it through with their extraordinary martial arts and movement techniques. But if they wanted to charge in and escape unscathed, the chances were not very high. As for charging in and seizing absolute control … even with Ling Jian's arrogance, even with his absolute confidence in Ling Tian's strength, Ling Jian could only say two words: a fool's dream.
Ling Tian had a mysterious smile on his face. "With our little strength, wanting to seize the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass is a fool's dream? But, what if I say that I want to destroy this number one pass in the world?! "
Ling Jian had the urge to roll his eyes. If not for the fact that Ling Tian was a god-like existence in Ling Jian's eyes, he almost blurted out: Young Master, do you have a fever? If there was really a way to destroy this pass, would the continent's experts have allowed it to exist for almost a thousand years?!
Ling Tian naturally could not see through Ling Jian's thoughts. He smiled faintly. "Under normal circumstances, my idea is no different from daydreaming. However, there are no absolutes in this world. Ling Jian, do you see these two mountains?"
Ling Jian took a look and said, "These two mountains are behind the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass and are the highest point of the other two mountains. What does this have to do with our plan? Could it be that Young Master has some other plan? But these two mountains are not something that can be shaken by human strength! "
Ling Tian let out a cold laugh as his palm traced the blue river on the map. With a devilish smile on his face, he said, "While the strength of man is limited at times, the strength of nature is the strongest and most invincible force. A large amount of river water flows through the gap between these two mountains. After thousands of years of turbulence, the side of the mountain near the river water has become a cliff. The road that the Xiao Family has constructed for thousands of years is on the other side of the mountain. While the road is wide, there is only one road and both sides of the road are filled with towering mountains. Hehehe, if the two mountains I pointed at suddenly collapse, it will definitely cut the surging river in half. Then, where will the river water go? "
"The river water will naturally flow back into the mountain path, and it is very possible that it will drown the entire Heavenly Water Ravine Pass. In this way, not to mention three days, even if it took three months, the Xiao Clan might not be able to clear the river again. In that case, not only would they cut off the supply route, even sending out a single soldier would become a huge problem. Outside goods would also not be able to enter. In that case, the four hundred and fifty thousand soldiers of the Xiao family will be completely isolated. "Ling Jian shook his head in bewilderment." But how will the mountains collapse on their own? Even if they are struck by lightning, they won't collapse so perfectly. As for manpower, it is even more impossible. "
"I have my own plans!" Ling Tian smiled confidently. Then, his face turned serious, "Pass down the order!"
Everyone immediately stood up in a solemn manner.
"Ling Seventeen, select a few local guides who are familiar with the terrain and lead our men to cooperate with Feng Mo's troops. Divide a thousand men into five teams and take turns to attack and harass the military outpost. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, they are to retreat after one attack. They are not allowed to linger in battle. However, they must attack frequently and not slack off."
"The rest of you, gather a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal for me. The more the better, the more the better. I have great use for them!"
"Feng Mo, immediately send a messenger eagle to inform the side courtyard and stabilize the morale of the troops. No matter what, no matter the cost, we must temporarily resist the counterattack of the Southern Zheng and the Xiao family. Wait for my good news."
"Also, inform the military advisor to mobilize the troops with the orders of the side courtyard. Other than the troops on the battlefield of the Southern Zheng, the rest of the troops are to be deployed to the east.
"Order Shen RuHu to come here from the direction of Eastern Zhao. Fortify the defense and clear the field along the way and be prepared for a hard battle! Tell the military advisor to be prepared to swallow the four hundred thousand soldiers of the Xiao family at any time! Within the next few days, the morale of the Xiao family's troops will definitely be in chaos! "
"Also, send orders to my father's Southern Army. The moment we start fighting with the Xiao family in the east, they must swallow up the Southern Zheng in the shortest time possible!"
"Ling Jian, order the remaining troops of the First Pavilion in the side courtyard to move to the south and listen to my father's orders. Assist the army in the south and allow them to carry out assassinations freely. I want to receive news that the Southern Zheng has been pacified within half a month of the start of the war in the east! After that, the army will head north and head straight for Eastern Zhao! "
"Inform DongFang JingLei that he must create a commotion within three days and cause chaos in Eastern Zhao. Even if he has to throw all of his men into the fray, he must complete this mission! Tell DongFang JingLei that no matter how much he loses, I will compensate him double after the war! On the other hand, if he fails to complete this mission, the DongFang Family can forget about leaving a single person alive!! "
"Ling Jian, Ling Chi, pick out a hundred martial arts experts who are capable of crossing this mountain and wait for my orders! Prepare to cross the mountain and head to the other side. I have other arrangements. "
"All orders, there is no room for negotiation! They must be carried out immediately and those who disobey will be dealt with according to military law! "
Ling Tian's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at the two towering mountain peaks in the distance. He muttered to himself, "Since we're going to play, then I'll play the biggest game this time! I want to see how the Xiao family's army will be able to survive after losing their supply of rations. "
"Within three months, half of the country will be wiped out! Only the Xiao family in the southeast will be left. However, by that time, we will have already gained control of the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass and the Xiao family will no longer be a threat! "
Ling Tian laughed viciously, "Originally, I didn't want to do this. However, the Xiao family actually has a natural stronghold that cannot be destroyed by human strength. For the past thousand years, no power has been able to shake this stronghold, hehehe …"
Following Ling Tian's laughter, which was filled with killing intent, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines as their hairs stood on end.
It was a pity that Miss Li Xue wasn't here, because only she would be able to guess what Ling Tian was thinking. Of course, if Miss Li was here, she would also laugh, because she would be able to enjoy the scene that she longed for …
Although everyone present could not make heads or tails of Ling Tian's series of orders, they had always trusted Ling Tian and all the orders were passed down smoothly.
Ling Jian pondered over Ling Tian's every word. The more he thought about it, the more he felt his blood boil. Although he still did not know what Ling Tian wanted to do, according to his understanding of Ling Tian, this plan of Ling Tian's would definitely be earth-shattering and would definitely succeed. There was no doubt about this!
How could Young Master's plan not succeed?
Ling Jian had a premonition that the entire structure of the continent would change because of Ling Tian's orders today!
*****
Ling Tian stood up and stood at the highest point of the mountain peak, looking in all directions. Even with Ling Tian's eyesight, he could only see a bean-sized camp at the foot of the mountain.
The vast sky was clear as if it had been washed clean.
The biting cold wind blew past Ling Tian's face with the cool autumn breeze. His black robe fluttered and his black hair fluttered behind him. Just a few steps behind him, Ling Jian was quietly guarding him. Looking at Ling Tian's slender figure at the top of the mountain, Ling Jian's heart was suddenly filled with awe.
Although they were only a few steps apart, Ling Jian suddenly felt that the position that Ling Tian was standing at was actually high up in the clouds! He was afraid that even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to reach that height!
Ling Tian's side profile could be seen clearly. Under the sunlight, his entire body seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.
Thousands of mountains and rivers, all under his feet!
"The mountains and rivers are like a painting. Who rules the ups and downs?!" Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. A blood-red killing intent flashed through his eyes. He softly and gently chanted a sentence, like a murmur. Hidden within those soft words was a bloodthirsty aura that had been suppressed to the extreme! This point, Ling Jian could clearly feel it.
