At this moment, Ling Kong was sitting on pins and needles in the East Courtyard. The Whole Wind Gang, which he had painstakingly built for nearly six years, had no choice but to sneak out of the capital after this incident. It was equivalent to giving away the huge foundation that he had built. Ling Kong felt a sharp pain in his heart!
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Ling Tian would be accompanied by the Blood Iron Warriors this time! And as a core member of the Ling House, he did not find any clues at all! How could a group of people from the pugilistic world, a motley crew, be a match for the battle-hardened Blood Iron Warriors?
The worst thing was that more than twenty people had been captured, so they must have confessed everything about the gang members. This was the reason why Ling Kong immediately ordered the Whole Wind Gang's core members to escape after receiving the news! If the Ling House knew about this, they would definitely launch an attack on the Whole Wind Gang, and at that time, he would be exposed. A venomous snake bites the hand, a strong warrior cuts the wrist! Ling Kong's heart ached, but he also admired himself. Other than him, Ling Kong, who else would have such courage?
However, with the loss of the Whole Wind Gang, there would be a lot less help in the future, so he needed to reformulate his plans. Ling Kong thought for a long time, then suddenly thought of something, and could not help but break out in cold sweat. Why did he not receive any news about the Blood Iron Warriors accompanying Ling Tian on this trip? Could it be that this was a trap for him?
Thinking of this, Ling Kong almost wanted to pack his luggage and escape. Thinking about it again, based on his understanding of Lin Zhan and Ling Xiao's tempers, if they knew that he was behind this, they would have killed him long ago. How could they be so calm? However, even if they did not suspect him, they must have suspected that there was a spy in the house. It seemed that he had bumped into the muzzle of the gun this time.
Perhaps, he had become someone's scapegoat! Ling Kong was extremely vexed! However, since the Ling House had already begun to suspect that there was a spy in the house, then he had to be more careful in the future!
Ling Kong's eagle eyes flashed with a cold light as he pondered alone.
Old Lady Ling's movements were extremely fast. With a wave of her brush, the people below were already extremely busy.
First, it was the matter of the Ling House's courtyard. After Ling Tian took out a blueprint, Old Lady Ling ordered Ling Xiao to use his authority to send three thousand soldiers to clean up the courtyard and cooperate with the construction workers to renovate the courtyard. Although it was said to be renovated, it was actually rebuilt. All the original buildings were demolished, and all the buildings were built according to Ling Tian's requirements. He also instructed, "No matter how much money you spend." It must be completed within four months!
As soon as he said that, the butler of the Ling House became completely busy. Such a huge project was completed within four months. This was simply a fantasy story! Left with no choice, they could only send more people to work on various projects at the same time.
Under Old Lady Ling's request, the required space was actually almost twice as big as the original Prince Fu's courtyard!
According to Ling Tian's idea, after some slight renovations, it would be barely habitable. As long as the training was not delayed, that place would just be a base. However, when he said that, he was severely reprimanded by Old Lady Ling. The reason was simple: Our Ling family could not afford to lose face like that.
When Ling Tian heard this, his whole body twitched.
As for the Xiao family's weapon workshop, Old Lady Ling was not the least bit courteous. Everything was done in secret. Before Old Master Ling knew, the entire workshop had already changed hands. Other than a few experienced old craftsmen, there were almost eight thousand people cleared out! They were living in tents outside the city!!
When Xiao FengHan heard this news, he almost went crazy! If the Sky Bearing Empire found out that his Xiao family had eight thousand elite soldiers hidden in a workshop, the first thing they would do would be to put him, the head of the Xiao family, under house arrest, and then swallow up these eight thousand people! This method of chasing away guests was indeed vicious.
However, this was Ling Tian's idea. Ling Tian was afraid that Xiao FengHan would stay for too long, and that his grandfather would directly sell his family to Xiao FengHan. That would be a big problem.
Xiao FengHan had no choice but to leave immediately. Like a fish that had escaped the net, he left with a group of people. Before leaving, Xiao FengHan specially met with Ling Tian once, but did not say anything. Ling Tian also did not say a word. They were both smart people, and everything was understood without words. As they looked at each other, the two old and young foxes had already reached a certain level of tacit understanding.
Old Lady Ling's third action was to call Ling Xiao over. First, she found an excuse to scold him, then she ordered Ling Xiao to transfer two small teams of elite Iron Blood Guards over.
Ling Xiao was scolded by his mother until his head was spinning. He did not understand how he had angered his mother. After the long and smelly scolding was finally over, when Old Lady Ling mentioned that she wanted people, Ling Xiao who was anxious to escape immediately agreed without thinking. He did not even have time to react. By the time he reacted, he had already been chased out of the room by Old Lady Ling. As for going back to argue with his mother, that was something he did not dare to do. Ling Xiao touched his forehead which was covered in his mother's saliva, and his heart still had lingering fear.
Without any other choice, he could only sigh and return to the army camp. He secretly thought about how to find an excuse to make the three small teams of Iron Blood Guards disappear or die in battle. His head felt like it was about to explode.
Because of Old Lady Ling's request, these three teams would henceforth be part of the Ling family, and would be stripped of their military status. Ling Xiao's intestines were in knots. Temporary use was fine, but she actually wanted to monopolize it for a lifetime. If he did not think of a way to settle this once and for all, he was afraid that he would leave behind future troubles, and it would be hard to avoid giving people a reason to criticize him. Ling Xiao shook his head with a depressed expression, and sighed as he mounted his horse and left.
Just as Ling Xiao left, Ling Tian sneaked out from behind the curtain behind Old Lady Ling. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, and smiled proudly.
A roar came from downstairs. Grandfather Ling was here to denounce him. He was happily reuniting with his sworn brother, but unexpectedly, Xiao FengHan had left in the middle of the night. When Grandfather Ling asked, he found out that it was his wife who caused this. He was instantly enraged.
Who knew that when he came upstairs, before he could even open his mouth, Old Lady Ling would rain curses on Xiao FengHan! She said that he was ungrateful, that he went back on his words, that he was domineering, and that he looked at people through the cracks of the door … etc. Finally, she gave Grandfather Ling an ultimatum: Unless Xiao FengHan immediately comes back to ask for her hand in marriage, then everything will return to normal. Otherwise, you damn old man, don't bother me!
The meaning behind her words was clear. It was all your brother's fault. This old lady only wanted one of his workshops, and suffered a huge loss! A mere workshop, this old lady did not even put it in her eyes! Furthermore, this old lady has already taken it, who can do anything about it?
Grandfather Ling came upstairs with a heart full of anger. Who knew that before he could even open his mouth, he would be chased down like this. He had the same ending as his own son. His heart was full of depression, and his face was full of saliva. He resentfully walked away with his hands behind his back.
Seeing his grandfather come upstairs, Ling Tian, who had hidden to the side, was secretly speechless. He gave his grandmother a big thumbs up, and did not put it down for a long time.
