Ling Jian chuckled and pointed his finger outwards, "Even if young noble doesn't say it, I can feel it. Everyone's spring has arrived! Look, even the willow tree has sprouted. "
Ling Tian covered his face and retreated in defeat. For the first time in his life, he felt powerless …
"Boss Ling Jian, I'm saying that your spring has arrived. You fell in love at first sight and took a liking to her!" Ling Tian grabbed Ling Jian's ear, "You want her to be your wife! You … sigh, I don't even know what to say about you. "
"Who wants who to be his wife?" Gu XiYan walked in with a smile and a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
The moment she said that, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Gu XiYan's eyes widened as she looked at everyone. Suddenly, her face turned red. Could it be that they were talking about her?
Ling Jian stood there in a daze and muttered, "… Wife?"
Gu XiYan let out a cry and ran out of the room. She scolded in embarrassment, "Lord Ling Jian, please conduct yourself with dignity. Who is your wife?"
Everyone burst into laughter …
…
In the Ling family's living room.
Three cups of tea were steaming and three people sat there with heavy expressions on their faces. They were Grandpa Ling, Old Madam Ling, and Xiao FengYang.
After a long time, Grandpa Ling said in a heavy tone, "This matter is of great importance. We must inform Tian 'er immediately."
Xiao FengYang said with a worried expression, "But Above Heavens is watching us closely. I'm afraid that if this news is leaked out, our entire clan will be annihilated."
Old Madam Ling nodded and said, "Indeed, we need to be careful about this matter. To us, this might be a difficult problem to solve. However, Tian 'er is full of ideas. To him, this might not be a difficult problem."
Xiao FengYang nodded his head worriedly and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of Xue 'er's matter …"
Old Madam Ling frowned and said, "This matter must not be allowed! Even if we forcefully intervene, Tian 'er might not agree to it. In fact, it might even backfire on us. "Shaking his head, he sighed and said:" If I had known this day would come, I would not have done it in the first place. "
Xiao FengYang let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
However, Grandfather Ling rebuked, "Xiao family, if that's the case, why did you wait until now to tell us? If you had said it earlier, wouldn't the two of us have already joined forces? Wouldn't everything have been fine? "
Xiao FengYang coughed repeatedly, his face flushed red. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that he had been blinded by the desire for power. Who wouldn't want to be the ruler of the world? Even though he knew that he would only be a puppet if he sat there, that seat belonged to the Xiao family after all! If not for the fact that Above Heavens' strength had been greatly reduced and the Xiao family's forces had been defeated, why would they come looking for the Ling family to bury the hatchet?
However, these words were clear in everyone's heart, yet no one would say it out loud.
In the courtyard of the Xiao family emissary delegation.
The grey-robed elder's face darkened. "Where is Second Master Xiao?"
"Second Master went out just now." A youth from the Xiao family replied, "Before he left, he mentioned that he wanted to pay a visit to the Ling family. After all, the two families have been friends for generations, and the Family Head and Grandfather Ling of the Ling family are sworn brothers. Since he came to Sky Bearing, it would be unreasonable for him to not pay a visit. This isn't something that an aristocratic family descendant should do. "
"I know all of this, and I don't have the time to listen to your explanation." The grey-robed elder waved his hands impatiently, clutching his chest as he coughed a few times. His internal injuries were still severe. This youth's reply left him doubtful. If Xiao FengYang had snuck out without a word, he would naturally suspect that Xiao FengYang was up to no good. However, Xiao FengYang had already gone to the Ling family openly, leaving him speechless.
He waved his hands and said, "YouHan, when Second Master returns, I will come and inform you." As he said that, he gave a signal to the others, and they all followed him to his private room.
Xiao YouHan frowned slightly, her face expressionless, and it was hard to tell if she was happy or worried. She did not seem to have any reaction to their distrust of her.
"Before coming to Sky Bearing, I already knew that this mission would not be easy, but I never expected it to be so troublesome. I don't understand what the Sect Master is thinking. "The grey-robed old man frowned and said with a heavy heart.
"What does Second Senior Uncle mean by that?" A skinny middle-aged man asked.
"The Sect sent out a total of seven people this time, but other than this old man, while the martial arts of the five of you are passable, it is only passable. In a battle of experts, your martial arts are negligible. This is the first reason why I don't understand. Sending Xiao YouHan to spy on Xiao FengYang is the biggest joke in the world! " The grey-robed elder said with worry, "While Xiao YouHan is a disciple of our Sect, she is still a member of the Xiao family. No matter how the Sect brainwashes her, it is impossible to change this fact. If the Sect and the Xiao family have a conflict, then no matter how loyal Xiao YouHan is to our Sect, she will definitely not stand on our side. This is the second reason why I don't understand. "
"Thirdly, for such a force to be sent out just like that, what use would it be? But Sect Head still gave them such an important mission, it is simply incomprehensible! "
"Could it be …" The grey-robed elder suddenly stood up, his hands trembling slightly, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. However, he was frightened out of his wits by a sudden thought, Xiao FengYang is our cover, and Xiao YouHan is Xiao FengYang's cover. Could it be that we are also a cover?
The other five people looked at each other in dismay, and their faces became extremely ugly.
Sky Bearing Northern Gates.
Yu ManTian rode a tall horse over with a complacent look on his face. His bear-like body seemed to be pressing down on the horse to the point that it was difficult for it to move. Behind him was a long line of carriages.
Three black-robed elders rode on their horses like clay bodhisattvas, and beside them were seven black-robed men. All of them had cold expressions, and their faces were haggard, as though they were corpses. Even though they were clearly riding on their horses, they still gave off the feeling that they were formless spirits, eerie to the extreme.
On the tall city gate tower, Ling Chi stood upright, looking at the envoy from Tamago, muttering to himself, "Could this be the most mysterious force in Tamago, the Three Spiritual Souls and Seven Mortal Forms? Why do I feel that something is wrong? "
Waving his hands, Ling Feng and Ling Yun rushed over. Ling Chi pointed his finger, and said, "Arrange some men to keep a close eye on these ten people. Don't let anything slip by." The two of them did not make a sound, and disappeared behind the city walls.
Ling Chi walked two steps, but was still not at ease. He ordered Ling Lei to come over, and said, "Find a few mountain kings who came to congratulate us, and have them test the strength of these three old men and the seven black-robed men. If necessary, we can fight them to see how strong they are. Also, have Feng and Yun pay attention to whether there are any other experts hiding in Tamago apart from Third Master Yu and these ten people. If there are any, report to the young noble immediately. "
If Tamago was using the Three Spiritual Souls and Seven Mortal Forms to hide something, then the thing that needed to be hidden was definitely not something that Ling Feng and Ling Yun could deal with! This was Ling Chi's thought process.
Ling Lei accepted the order and left.
Outside the city gates, another large group of carriages arrived. Ling Chi's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked down the city walls, blocking the city gates, and coldly shouted, "Stop! Check! "
The three people at the front of the group were Ling One, Ling Two, and Ling Four. Ling Nineteen and the rest were mixed in with the carriages, and when they heard Ling Chi's shout, they immediately stopped their horses.
Ling Chi's face was cold, and he meticulously checked the carriages. However, at a moment when no one was paying attention, a piece of paper fell into Ling One's hands.
Ling One took the paper without batting an eyelid, and an impatient expression appeared on his face, "This daddy has been to so many counties, and not a single one of them checked. Why do they have to check here?! How preposterous! No matter what, aren't we also guests here to congratulate you? "
Ling Chi was not moved at all, and after checking it once, he retreated to the side, saying, "Since there are no illegal items, I will naturally let you pass. Please! "As he said that, he stepped aside.
Ling One snorted coldly, and rode into the city.
Tamago's Imperial Palace.
Yu ManLou held a thin piece of paper in his hands, and a sly smile could be seen on his face. He thought to himself, If Above Heavens is able to join forces with us, then we will definitely be able to create chaos during the Ling family's founding ceremony. While we might not be able to completely destroy the Ling family, we will definitely be able to turn the Ling family's founding ceremony into a huge joke! It was a complete joke!
For Meng FanYun to actually propose to cooperate with me, it is obvious that he has already given up on the Xiao family, right? If I can make use of this opportunity to recruit Above Heavens … even if I can't destroy the Ling family's founding ceremony, it would still be worth it.
I believe that Ling Tian … will also be in a terrible fix this time, right?
Within Sky Bearing City, crooks were mixed in with the honest folk. There was still a steady stream of people coming in.
Ling Tian gave out a strict order, and all the intelligence agencies were to move out at full force! They would definitely not allow any abnormalities or accidents to occur during the founding ceremony! Furthermore, he instructed that the blame must be placed on every single person's head!
As such, the four intelligence agencies and the Violent Wind Gang began to move out swiftly. Ling Jian coldly added another order, "As long as there are unfamiliar faces, there must be at least three spies watching them! We must find out the identity and background of every single person. If we can find out their ancestors, that would be the best! "
At the same time, Ling Jian gave the order, "Brats, move out!"
Within Sky Bearing City, under the relaxed environment, everyone was as tense as a drawn bow!
Within three days, without alerting anyone, a few hundred captives were captured from the Ling House. Within the Ling House's courtyard, Feng Mo led a few hundred burly Blood Iron Warriors to interrogate the captives. ,
Ling Tian was only worried about two families: Tamago and the Xiao family. Or rather, Tamago and Above Heavens.
However, amongst the captives, there were bandits, fugitives, thieves, bandits … the only ones missing were those from Tamago and those from the Southeast.
Ling Tian's face was as calm as water as he said, "Investigate again!"
After pausing for a moment, he said, "Investigate carefully!"
After taking two steps, he looked up at Ling Jian and said, "Investigate thoroughly!"
Ling Jian's expression changed, and he quickly passed down the order.
For so many years, Ling Tian had never used the word 'investigate thoroughly'. But today, he finally said it out loud! This order was unusual!
Even when he was investigating the culprit who poisoned Imperial Concubine Ling, Ling Tian had never used the word 'investigate thoroughly'. Even when dealing with Tamago and Justice, Ling Tian had never used the word 'investigate thoroughly'!
Investigate thoroughly! To Ling Tian's intelligence agency, these two words were equivalent to the military's signal to prepare for war! These two words meant that the enemy was close at hand, and the bloodiest melee battle was about to begin, and the bayonets would be stained red.
The opening ceremony this time was to allow Ling Tian to imprint his name into this foreign world, the Divine Prefecture Empire! From today onwards, this world would be ruled by the descendants of the Yan Huang Dynasty!
Ling Tian wanted to make the ceremony so grand that everyone would be dumbfounded! Since he was establishing a country, he wanted to rule over the world! My lord rises and falls!
Ling Tian would not allow anyone to cause trouble at such a time!
No matter what kind of power it was, or even if it was a peerless expert!
No one, no power could be an exception!
Those who tried to cause trouble would only be destroyed!
The moment this order was given, even the number one assassin in the world, Ling Jian, felt nervous!
At this time, Yu ManTian and the other envoys from Tamago also met with trouble, and it was not a small one.
Originally, to Yu ManTian, coming to Sky Bearing was the happiest place in the world. Of course, he had to look for Ling Tian, Ling Jian, and fight with the five little fellows to satisfy his craving. Of course, the most important thing was that he had to drink Ling Tian's good wine. Apart from Sky Bearing, there was no other place like this!
However, Ling Tian, Ling Jian, and the five little fellows must be extremely busy. Our Third Master Yu was an understanding person, and would not look for them to sit on the cold bench at such a time. Even if they did not say it out loud, they would still be unhappy in their hearts. As the saying goes, there is still a long way to go. Since it was not convenient for him to go to the Ling House, Yu ManTian naturally thought of another place in Sky Bearing that left a deep impression on him — the Smoky Thea Tower.
Yu ManTian could still remember that back then, he had composed a poem in front of all the scholars in the world, and even shocked everyone. From then on, he no longer had any interest in poetry, and naturally could not compose any good poems. Indeed, the scenery brings back memories, and the poem is born from the heart. That brat Ling Tian was indeed right. Without excitement, he would not even be able to compose a poem. This time, he naturally had to find some excitement, and maybe even compose a poem.
"This daddy has a sword in his hand …" Proudly humming his first poem, which was also the poem he was most proud of, Yu ManTian led the envoys from Tamago into the Smoky Thea Tower.
Only after asking did he find out that before he arrived, someone had already reserved a private room for him. Furthermore, it was the same private room that Yu ManTian was in previously, and even the accommodations for his entourage were properly prepared. Yu ManTian was elated. He knew that this was definitely arranged by Ling Tian, and only that brat would be so considerate!
He did not bother to think about how Ling Tian was so sure that he would be the one coming from Tamago. Even the number of his entourage was prepared. Yu ManTian never cared about such things, and what he truly cared about was the sincerity of his entourage.
"Look! This Third Master is not only a Third Master at home, but I am also doing well outside, right? Even here, before I, the Third Master, arrived, everything was already prepared. When will all of you be able to reach the level of this Third Master, your lives will not be in vain! " Yu ManTian proudly brought ten of his entourage out of the private room, and entered the hall. Opening his throat, he began to ask for wine and dishes.
Just as they were eating, a commotion broke out outside, and a dozen people walked in, filling up two tables in an instant. Every one of them had the aura of a bandit, and even though they were young, their auras were not small.
The sound of footsteps could be heard, and a white-robed youth walked over with a face full of smiles, "Third Master, I trust you have been well since we last met. There is an old friend looking for you." It was Ling Feng.
Yu ManTian's eyes lit up, and he stood up, "Old friend? What old friend? You are an old friend of this Third Master. Brats, take your time to eat, this daddy is going out for a while, I have something to do." Without waiting for a reply, he left.
Behind him, the ten of them looked at each other, but did not take it to heart. Although this Third Master was said to be the representative of this diplomatic mission, he was actually just a figurehead. The secret plans were carried out by others, and Third Master Yu was completely unaware of them. Otherwise, why would he send someone who had such a deep relationship with Ling Tian to take charge of this matter?
Everyone knew that with the relationship between Yu ManTian and Ling Tian, even if he did not sell all of them to Ling Tian, it would not be far from it. Furthermore, even if he could hold it in, with Ling Tian's intelligence, he would be able to tell everything from Yu ManTian's expression. Only by keeping Yu ManTian in the dark from the start would they be able to keep this secret …
Wine and dishes were served one after another, and now that Third Master Yu was not around, these ten 'entourages' could let go of their worries and eat to their heart's content.
"... Tamago? What Tamago? " A loud and clear voice rang out. Even in this noisy hall, the voice was still loud and clear. The ten people's expressions changed at the same time, and their attention was immediately diverted. The one who spoke was one of the bandit-like youths. At this moment, he was excitedly saying, "… Hahaha, what thousand-year-old aristocratic family, it's all bullshit! Do you understand? In the first half of the year, this master entered Bright Jade City on horseback and did a few transactions with great fanfare. In the headquarters of Tamago, wasn't this master able to come and go as he pleased? Calling him bullshit is already praising him. In my opinion, he can't even be compared to bullshit! "
When he said that he had 'made a few deals', it was obvious from his expression that he was definitely doing business without any capital.
"Hmph!" One of the black-robed men stood up. One of the three white-bearded elders shook his head, indicating that he should not act rashly.
"You dare to brag about this little bit of experience?! You think that you can come and go as you please in Bright Jade City? You're really a frog in a well. How big is the sky that you've only seen? " Another one did not want to be outdone, and he stood up as well. His large foot landed on the chair that he was sitting on just a moment ago. "Just seven days ago, I couldn't stand the sight of those little Tamago brats. In one night, I stole the rations of Tamago's 200,000 strong army! I sold them all for one copper coin per stone, and made a small fortune. After that, I patted my ass and left. I heard that Tamago still has a warrant for me, but I don't give a damn about that warrant. With just that bunch of good-for-nothings, if they could catch me, that would be the biggest joke in the world! "
As soon as he said that, he received a wave of flattery.
However, the faces of the ten people at Tamago's table changed. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
