By the time the carriage returned to the Ling House, it was already late at night. Old Lady Ling and Ling Tian's mother, Chu Ting 'er, had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they heard the news, they hurriedly came out to welcome them. They were shocked to see that many of the accompanying guards were injured and that a few of them were missing.
Ling Tian jumped down from the carriage, causing Old Lady Ling and his mother, Chu Ting 'er, to grumble. Ling Tian chuckled and gave them a meaningful look, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting 'er were both astute people. How could they not know what he meant? They quickly agreed. Ling Tian took the opportunity to tell his mother about bringing back a servant girl. Chu Ting 'er didn't mind and only ordered the servant girl to bring her to freshen up. Seeing how much Ling Tian cared about this lass, her heart skipped a beat, and she said, "How about letting this lass serve you as a maid, Tian 'er?"
Ling Tian chuckled and scratched his head. Chu Ting 'er smiled and lightly patted his head.
In Old Lady Ling's room. Old Lady Ling listened to Feng Mo's account of the attack with a heavy expression. Chu Ting 'er covered her mouth in shock and hugged Ling Tian in her arms. She kissed him as if he was her darling and carefully checked him from head to toe. Only then did she relax with lingering fear. She then announced, "From today onwards, Ling Tian is not allowed to go out alone. If there is no important matter, he is not allowed to leave the residence."
Ling Tian became anxious when he heard this. He didn't care that Old Lady Ling was frowning and thinking about something. He rushed forward and hugged her arm. If his mother's words were confirmed, then he would really have to follow the example of a rich young lady and never leave the house. Ling Tian's heart was filled with fear.
Old Lady Ling lovingly patted his head and said to Chu Ting 'er, "Ting' er, it's not good for a boy to always be confined in the mansion. You can't take care of him for the rest of his life. A young eagle protected under the wings of an eagle will never grow up. Furthermore, I have arranged for some powerful experts to stay by Tian 'er's side, nothing will happen. "
Chu Ting 'er still felt a little distressed, but she didn't dare to refute her mother-in-law. She could only answer with an aggrieved "yes".
Speaking of the expert bodyguard, Ling Tian immediately thought of his own plan: "Grandma, this really scared me. After this incident, Tian 'er realised that there are just too few people around me that I can use. "
Old Lady Ling chuckled. "Little brat, you're scared now? Hmph, don't lie to me. Are you interested in your father's Blood Iron Warriors? Hmm? "
Ling Tian smiled embarrassedly and said, "They are all very good. Very good! "
How could Old Lady Ling not know what he was thinking? She jokingly scolded, "Okay, okay, okay, tomorrow I'll tell your father that Feng Mo and the others don't need to go back. They will follow you in the future."
When Ling Tian heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up and said cheerfully, "Thank you Grandma." He smiled proudly in his heart. He was currently short of manpower. With these Blood Iron Warriors, no matter what he did, it would be much easier. Moreover, the biggest advantage of these people was that they were loyal and reliable, and they were used to obeying orders in the military camp. It was precisely these two points that Ling Tian valued the most.
Ling Tian couldn't help but count with his fingers: One was the matter of the Fierce Wind Gang. The Blood Iron Warriors could send four people to take over. The second was the matter of Prince Fu's courtyard. There could also be someone to supervise. The third was the matter of gathering manpower. The fourth was the matter of the weapons workshop. The fifth was — — Hahaha, he was rich. All the problems in his heart were solved by more than half at once.
Old Lady Ling seemed a little tired, rubbing her forehead.
Chu Ting 'er understood, looked at Ling Tian, and said, "It's late, mother should rest. Tian' er, you should also go back to sleep."
Old Lady Ling's eyes flashed, and said in a gentle voice, "Ting 'er, you've been busy all day, go back and rest early. As for Tian 'er, I want to talk to him. "
Chu Ting 'er replied, "Yes." She stroked Ling Tian's head and said, "Be good and listen to Grandma, don't be naughty. Tian' er, be good." Then she went out of the room.
In the room, the grandmother and grandson looked at each other, smiling strangely.
Old Lady Ling's eyes widened, the tiredness just now disappeared without a trace. It was obvious that she was pretending. Looking at Ling Tian, she said, "Speak, what are you waiting for?"
Ling Tian smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and simply told her the plan in his heart.
"What?!" Old Lady Ling sat up straight, "You really took over the Xiao family's weapons workshop?"
"Err, yes, I went to find him for compensation, and he gave me the workshop. What's wrong with that?" Ling Tian pretended to be confused. In any case, Xiao FengHan would not say it, and Qin Da was in the same pants as him, so it was even more impossible for him to say it. Ling Tian was also not afraid of revealing the secret.
"Is there a problem? There's a big problem! "Old Lady Ling stood up, and walked around the room. Pacing back and forth in the room, he continued, "This weapons workshop is an important military base of the Xiao Family in the Sky Bearing Empire! According to the reports of our Ling family's spies, there are at least 5,000 elite soldiers hidden inside! If the Xiao family were to cause trouble, how much damage would they cause to the core of the empire? It wouldn't be strange for them to work together to take down the Sky Bearing Empire! Such an important place, and Xiao FengHan actually gave it to you so casually? I really wonder what Xiao FengHan's intentions are! "
Ling Tian laughed in his heart, He didn't give it to me casually, he was forced by me to the point that he had no other choice. However, he didn't dare to say this to his grandmother, and could only say, "Maybe the head of the Xiao family saw that his Grandson was a talent, and thus gave it to his Grandson."
Old Lady Ling's originally solemn expression immediately turned into one of laughter, and she stretched out a finger to point at Ling Tian's head, "See that you're a talent? If he saw that you were a talent, then that old fellow wouldn't have broken off the engagement. There must be something fishy about this matter! "
Ling Tian scratched his head, and said with a chuckle, "No matter what plan he has, as long as grandmother changes everyone in the weapons workshop, and hands the Xiao family's private army over to Old Man Xiao, he won't have anyone to use, so what can he do?"
Old Lady Ling glared at him, and said, "It's as simple as you think! If Xiao FengHan had other plans, and wanted to use this opportunity to pull my Ling family in, why would he agree to remove everyone? It's not so simple. "
Ling Tian gave a sneaky smile, and said, "Grandmother doesn't need to be anxious about this. Grandson has already made an agreement with the head of the Xiao family, and when he returns in a few days, he will bring all the important members of the Xiao family with him. Grandmother only needs to find people to take over before he leaves."
Old Lady Ling was even more puzzled, and couldn't understand Xiao FengHan's strange actions. After thirty years of friendship, Old Lady Ling knew that this sworn brother of hers was extremely farsighted, and had big plans. Especially his meticulous thoughts, it was enough to be said that his plans were flawless! Everything he did had a deep meaning behind it, and he would never suffer a loss. However, regarding the matter of Xiao FengHan giving away the weapons workshop, Old Lady Ling couldn't help but feel that it would only bring harm to the Xiao family, and she couldn't help but think to herself, Could it be that Xiao FengHan had a change of heart? Or did the plans of the Xiao family come to an end? However, from her observation of him these few days, it didn't seem to be the case.
Forget it, since she couldn't figure it out, then she would just take one step at a time, and proceed with caution. Hmph hmph, with the weapons workshop in my hands, it would be impossible for you, Xiao FengHan, to come up with any schemes or return! Old Lady Ling thought to herself.
