Ling Xiao was panting heavily. He lowered his head and saw that there was a faint red color on his palm. It was actually blood! His heart skipped a beat as he scolded himself. How could I be so heavy-handed with my son?
Chu Ting 'er and Ling Ran's eyes were already filled with tears. They rushed forward and carefully hugged Ling Tian in their arms. Seeing the bloody mess on Ling Tian's buttocks, the two girls couldn't help but tear up. They turned around and glared angrily at Ling Xiao.
Ling Ran was even more impolite. She reprimanded, "Big Brother is too unreasonable! Tian 'er is just a child. Is it worth it to be so heavy-handed? What can such a big child know? Even if it is … Big Brother, it's your fault. Why are you venting your anger on a child? " Thinking that he had finally gotten the chance to visit his family, he hurried over to see his nephew whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Who would have thought that the moment he came, his nephew would be beaten up.
When Chu Ting 'er heard this, her face turned red. She didn't have time to be shy. Carrying her son, she ran into the room. As she ran, she ordered the servants to bring medicine and clean towels …
Ling Xiao turned around embarrassedly. Although he was already regretting it, he couldn't bring himself to admit his mistake. Furthermore, what Ling Xiao was really angry about was not that his son had taken liberties with a servant girl. Such a young child, so what if he had taken liberties with him? What could he have done? What really made Ling Xiao angry was that so many people had seen his son's unfilial actions. It was impossible to hide this matter anymore.
Ling Xiao could imagine that this matter would definitely spread throughout the nine cities in a few days. He would probably become a laughingstock in the imperial court. The Ling family's reputation as a debauchee would probably spread throughout the world after this matter!
Ling Kong and his son consoled Ling Xiao with a few words of schadenfreude. Then, they took their leave. It was no longer suitable for them to stay here any longer.
Ling Xiao's face darkened as he turned around, facing the laughing faces of the group of Blood Iron Warriors. He had been living and eating together with these people for many years, and had long since become like brothers. At this moment, seeing everyone's battered and exhausted appearance, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "What happened to all of you? Why are you in such a sorry state? "
Everyone was silent for a while. No one had forgotten Ling Tian's resolute and decisive words that day: You are not allowed to reveal any information about me to anyone!
After a long time, Ling Xiao's face became darker and darker. It seemed that the storm was about to break out again. This group of old subordinates actually didn't even answer his question?
Feng Mo saw that the situation wasn't looking good so he braced himself and said, "Erm … this, erm … erm …"
Ling Xiao said angrily, "What do you mean by this and that? Tell me! "
Feng Mo prayed to Buddha in his heart and could only say, "Little Gongzi told us to go jogging." In his heart, he thought that this didn't count as revealing the secret right? After all, everyone already knew.
"Go jogging?" Ling Xiao asked suspiciously, "What jogging?"
"This," Feng Mo scratched his head awkwardly, "… Gongzi said that jogging was very fun …" After holding it in for a long time, Feng Mo, who was publicly acknowledged as an honest person, finally blurted out the first lie in his life. His face was already red from holding it in.
"Fun?!" Ling Xiao immediately jumped up, angrily stomping his feet and roaring, "I personally trained the Blood Iron Warriors, the brave warriors of the kingdom, the heroes of the battlefield! This bastard actually told you to go jogging for fun?! Really, really … bastard!! "
Looking at the group of Blood Iron Warriors, Ling Xiao said guiltily, "Brothers, it's all because of me. It's all because of me that you have to suffer this little bastard's humiliation. Brothers, don't worry, I will definitely think of a way to let you return to the army! "
Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a while.
While they were touched by Ling Xiao's loyalty, they couldn't help but worry. If Ling Xiao really opened up all the connections and forced them to return, then what should they do? In this half a month, the 36 Blood Iron Warriors could clearly feel that their mental and physical strength were continuously increasing. Compared to before, it was already an unbelievable improvement, and this was only half a month's time! Furthermore, Gongzi had said that this was only the beginning, a test. The real road to becoming stronger was still far from beginning!
With such a good opportunity, with such a good master, who would be willing to return to that dark and gloomy military camp? Unless everyone's head was kicked by a donkey! Instantly, everyone glared angrily at Feng Mo. If this guy's words caused them to lose this rare opportunity, they would skin him alive!
Feeling the piercing gazes, Feng Mo's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He forced a smile and said, "Marshal, there's no need to worry. This lowly one is also very happy here."
Ling Xiao let out a long sigh, his eyes moist. Patting Feng Mo's shoulder, he said in a low voice, "Brother, I know you don't want to make things difficult for me. There's no need to say anything more. Brothers, wait for my good news." After saying that, Ling Xiao turned and left, his face cold and solemn, his footsteps firm and heavy.
Everyone behind him was stunned. Looking at Ling Xiao's back, they all gritted their teeth and gathered around Feng Mo. Everyone was rubbing their fists, their knuckles cracking.
Feng Mo saw that the situation was not good and retreated step by step, laughing dryly, "Brothers, let's talk things out. Hahaha … I was also forced …"
"Beat him!" Someone shouted, and in an instant, Feng Mo was drowned out by the black mass of people … Feng Mo wanted to turn and run, but it was already too late. Immediately, a wave of anguished howls sounded, even more intense than Ling Tian's howls.
In the room, Ling Tian, who had been using his internal energy to listen to everyone's words, had a satisfied expression on his face. He knew that this batch of Blood Iron Warriors had truly begun to draw closer to his side.
A small figure came out from Ling Tian's room. It was Ling Jian. When Ling Jian returned to the residence and heard that Ling Tian had been punished, he immediately became anxious and rushed in without even wiping his face.
When everyone saw Ling Jian come out, they all surrounded him to inquire about the situation. Only the dying Feng Mo was left on the ground …
"Hahahaha, Ling Jian, how is the young master?"
"Haha, Jianjian, what did the young master say?"
"Haha, it's been half a month. Did the young master say that he passed?"
"…"
"…"
Ling Jian looked at the crowd with a trace of pity, but it disappeared in a flash. His face had a strange expression, as if he wanted to laugh, but also cry. Looking at the crowd, he did not speak for a long time. Everyone could not help but become nervous, wishing that they could rush up and choke this little brat to force him to speak.
"Cough … cough …" Ling Jian cleared his throat, as if he was about to speak. Everyone quickly held their breaths and pricked up their ears.
Unexpectedly, after Ling Jian finished coughing, he shook his shoulders and frowned, "My shoulders are sore!"
"Hahaha, is that so? Let me rub it for you. "A Blood Iron Warrior, whose eyes were about to spit fire, went forward.
"Cough cough … my legs hurt."
"Let me rub it for you!"
"Cough cough cough … my arms are sore, both arms are sore."
"Let me rub it for you!"
"Let me rub it for you."
… … …
Finally, Ling Jian stretched his neck and said, "The young master took advantage of the fact that the madam and the imperial concubine were not around and secretly said a few words to me. He wanted me to come out and tell everyone."
Everyone instantly became nervous, their eyes staring at Ling Jian's lips without blinking, afraid that they would miss a word.
Ling Jian coughed again and said, "The young master's original words were like this." Saying so, he looked at everyone with a smile and did not continue speaking.
Everyone was instantly enraged, all of them rubbing their fists, wanting to teach this brat a lesson.
Ling Jian saw that the situation was not good, he shrunk his neck and imitated Ling Tian's voice, "En, originally you all had already passed. But today, you all saw this young master getting beaten up and did not do anything. What's more, you all rejoiced in my misfortune! Therefore, this young master has decided that you all have not passed yet. "Ling Jian winked and smiled.
Everyone sighed together, their anger instantly deflating.
Ling Jian said, "Don't be anxious, I have not finished speaking."
Hearing this, everyone was instantly energized.
"But, after thinking about it, I should still give you all a chance."
"Ahahaha … Long live the young master!!" There was a burst of ecstasy.
Ling Jian looked at this group of idiots coldly. Was the young master's show so good to watch? Not paying a price and letting you all watch for nothing? That was really preposterous. He continued unhurriedly, "Therefore, tomorrow is the last day of the test. Those who pass will be able to stay. "
"Hahaha, the last day of the test, easy easy, very easy." Everyone was wild with joy.
Ling Jian coldly announced, "Tomorrow's test content: Everyone will carry a piece of green brick on their back, from the gate to the courtyard, and back twice. The journey will be one hundred and sixty miles, and you must return before lunch. "In this era, every green brick weighed at least ten pounds, thick and wide.
"Ah?!" There was a burst of desperate cries. Instantly, the thirty-six men's faces fell. Their faces were so bitter that juice could be wrung out …
One of them looked at the proud smile on Ling Jian's face and could not help but attack him, "We can't persevere, little Ling Jian, could it be that you can? Hehehehe, quickly go in and plead with the young master. "
Everyone thought it was true, and immediately agreed.
Ling Jian laughed and said, "Sorry, I have already pleaded, and the young master is especially generous, I do not need to participate in tomorrow's test. Hahaha … "
Everyone was thrown off their feet!
