Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandmother did not pursue the matter any further. He then recounted the events of today's visit to Prince Fu's courtyard.
Old Lady Ling had been listening attentively, and suddenly asked, "Tian 'er, in your master's opinion, were the men of the Fierce Wind Gang who attacked you today the subordinates of that person?" The "that person" she was referring to was, of course, Ling Kong.
Ling Tian muttered, "The establishment of the Fierce Wind Gang happened to be five years ago …" He did not finish his words. There were some things that he could not say at his age.
Old Lady Ling clapped her hands and said, "That's right! The time when the Fierce Wind Gang was established is an obvious hint. Five years ago was when your mother was pregnant with you. In that case, the Fierce Wind Gang should have been established by him. At the very least, he should have been the one who funded it. His goal was to give you a heavy blow today. Humph, his plan is really long-term! "
After a pause, Old Lady Ling coldly snorted, "After you left the house today, I saw a carrier pigeon flying in the east courtyard. At that time, I wished I could tear that guy into pieces!"
Ling Tian smiled and did not speak. He knew, and Old Lady Ling also knew, that although the evidence of Ling Kong's crimes had gradually been revealed, it was still far from the time to uproot him. Because, both of them were not clear whether Ling Kong wanted to control the Ling House himself, or was instructed by a hostile force. If it was the latter, then the consequences would be serious. So now, they could only wait and see.
Ling Tian's idea was to use himself as bait to lure Ling Kong to attack again and again. As long as he attacked more and more times, naturally more traces would be revealed. But this idea was limited to just thinking at the moment. Firstly, Ling Tian's body was only that of a five-year-old. If he showed strength far beyond that of ordinary people, it would attract the attention of the Imperial Family and the Yang Family, and the gains would not make up for the losses. Secondly, Old Lady Ling would never allow her grandson to stand in the eye of the storm.
The Ling family did not have many descendants. When it came to Ling Tian's generation, he was the only child in a few thousand acres of land. How could Old Lady Ling let him be in danger?
Old Lady Ling paced two more steps before saying, "Tian 'er, in your master's opinion, what should we do next?" The situation was getting more and more complicated. It was related to the safety of his Grandson and the survival of the Ling family. However, he could not act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy. Old Lady Ling was extremely depressed as she watched Ling Kong hover in front of her, but she couldn't touch him for the sake of the big picture.
Ling Tian rolled his eyes and said, "What Master means is that at present, all the countries in the world are eyeing us covetously. The world is going to fall into chaos at any moment, and there are already undercurrents surging. However, the emperors of the various countries tacitly maintained a balance. But this balance could be broken at any time. Our Ling family's current strength is far from enough to protect ourselves. If we want to govern the country in this chaotic world, we can't just look at the internal affairs of the family. "
Old Lady Ling thought for a while before sighing, "This master of yours is really an eccentric person. His view of the current situation is really accurate. It seems that he already has a plan. Sigh, I really want to have a good chat with this eccentric person. "Her words were filled with boundless yearning.
Ling Tian immediately shrunk his body and kept quiet out of fear.
Old Lady Ling sighed for a while before asking, "What does your master want to do? Grandma will support whatever you need our Ling family to do. "
Ling Tian was overjoyed and said, "Master said that we can maintain the current situation on the surface, but we have to speed up secretly."
Old Lady Ling asked seriously, "How do we speed it up?"
Ling Tian thought for a moment before replying, "Obtaining the weapons workshop from Xiao FengHan is only the first step. If we want to protect ourselves in this chaotic world, we must have excellent weapons and equipment. Grandma's first step is to prepare the manpower and firmly control the weapons workshop. As for the manpower, it's best not to use the old people in the house. "
Old Madam Ling's expression was solemn as she said in deep thought, "This old woman knows. What's the second step? "
Ling Tian said, "Second, Master hopes that the Ling House can come forward and encircle King Fu's courtyard outside the city to make it a secret base for the Ling family. At that time, Master will go there from time to time and train a large number of people and elite soldiers for our Ling House. They will be the life-saving force for our Ling family. "
Old Lady Ling said cheerfully, "This is not a problem."
Ling Tian said, "In terms of manpower, we can choose those capable generals who are usually not successful and who are pushed aside by others and recruit them. But this will require the cooperation of father. "
Old Lady Ling snorted and said, "When I speak, he has no choice but to cooperate!"
Ling Tian snorted and shrugged his shoulders. Thinking that his father really did not have any human rights in front of Grandma, he could not help but laugh.
Old Lady Ling hit him and scolded with a smile, "Little brat, go on."
Ling Tian reluctantly stopped laughing and said, "The third step is the Fierce Wind Gang. Master hopes that we can control the Fierce Wind Gang and then control most of the power in the capital. They can be used as backup and as a source of information. In addition, it is also a source of income."
Old Lady Ling said, "Fierce Wind Gang? It doesn't seem to be of much use, right? Besides, this is one of Ling Kong's forces. I still want to uproot this gang in the capital. Why do you want to incorporate it? "
Ling Tian hurriedly said, "Although the Fierce Wind Gang is one of Ling Kong's forces, after today's assassination, how would the gang's leaders dare to stay in the capital? They would definitely scatter like birds and beasts, leaving behind only a few local people who are easy to control. Besides, the Fierce Wind Gang's structure has already been established. It would be a pity to give it up like this. Besides, as long as we control the Fierce Wind Gang, we can use them as excellent bait to lure Ling Kong's people. "
Old Lady Ling nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, then so be it. We'll do as you say. What else? "
Ling Tian said, "There's also the problem of manpower on Grandson's side. Father's Iron Blood Guards are the best candidates. Firstly, they are loyal to our Ling family. Secondly, those people have been through hundreds of battles and have rich experience. As long as they are trained a little, they will become a powerful force. If Grandmother didn't pressure them, I'm afraid Father wouldn't have agreed."
Old Lady Ling said, "This isn't a problem. One team is too few. I'll just ask your father to send three teams, a total of thirty-six people. That should be enough, right?"
Ling Tian was overjoyed and said, "That can't be better!"
Old Lady Ling stood up and paced around the room twice. She said, "If all these forces are controlled, it will make anyone look askance. Your Master's scheme is not small! "
Ling Tian was sweating profusely.
Old Lady Ling said seriously, "I can agree to all these, but I only have one request. You must fulfill it. If you can't, then forget about all these! Our Ling family can be homeless and miserable, we can be destroyed, but we can't let others take advantage of us! "
Ling Tian was sweating profusely again. He said, "Grandmother, you can rest assured. Master said that he won't show himself in any of these matters. Everything will be left to Grandson to decide. He will only be plotting behind the scenes."
Old Lady Ling immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then there won't be any problems." Thinking of these plans, all of them were for the sake of the Ling family. If they were followed, the Ling family's power would definitely expand in a few years. Old Lady Ling couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Thinking this way, she was really measuring the heart of a gentleman with her own mean measure.
