"Why did you come back so early? It's only noon! "Chu Ting 'er looked at her son with a puzzled expression. Ling Tian always went out for a whole day. Chu Ting 'er was surprised that he came back early today. Could it be that he was chased back by the ladies? It didn't seem like it. If he was chased out by the ladies, Ling Tian would have gone somewhere else to have fun.
Chu Ting 'er knew her son very well. She thought: Could it be that he already has someone he likes? That's why he rushed back to report? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be happy and asked, "How was it today?"
Ling Tian smiled bitterly and said, "This child went out today and had a good chat with the ladies. However, this child was afraid that mother would be worried, so I came back early."
"Pfft!" Chu Ting 'er snorted disdainfully at her son's words, "A good chat? You had a good chat with the ladies? Afraid that I would be worried? You came back early? Since you were afraid that I would be worried, why did you rush back to your small courtyard instead of coming to my place? "
Ling Tian was already used to his mother's attitude and said, "There were too many ladies. This child can't remember many of them. I think there was the lady from General Shen's family and the daughter of Minister Wei's family. As for the rest, this child doesn't remember."
"The lady from General Shen's family? The daughter of Minister Wei? "Chu Ting 'er muttered suspiciously and suddenly flew into a rage," Scoundrel! These two ladies are famous talented ladies in the capital. They are proficient in poetry, singing, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. This mother has also heard of their talents before! They would have a good chat with you?? Are you kidding me? I remember that when Rou 'er saw you, the first thing she did was reach for her horse whip. She even had a good chat with you?! "
Ling Tian said with a bitter face, "It was indeed the two of them. This child is telling the truth." He thought to himself: I did see the two of them in the backyard. However, one of them didn't know my identity and the other was almost scared out of her wits.
Chu Ting 'er shouted angrily, "You're still lying! As if I'd believe you! Tell me, what shameful things did you do this time? That's why you came back in a hurry? "
Ling Tian's expression became even more bitter. "Does Mother think that your son is a troublemaker?"
Chu Ting 'er glared at him. "What do you mean? You are! Tell me, what did you do? "
Ling Tian almost fainted. "If Mother doesn't believe me, these two women will definitely come to visit me in the next few days. You can ask them then."
"These two young ladies will come to visit you? Tian 'er, did I hear wrongly? "Chu Ting' er's face was filled with disbelief and surprise. He thought to himself that these two young ladies were both outstanding in terms of appearance and literary talent. If they really took a fancy to his child, it would be a great thing. "When are you coming? I need to prepare a gift for our first meeting. Treat the two ladies well. "
Ling Tian rolled his eyes. He was only fifteen. Wasn't his mother too anxious? She wanted to give them a gift now? You know that the ones I want you to give gifts to are definitely not these two young ladies. "This, the exact time has not been set. It depends on when they have time. They will definitely come!"
Chu Ting 'er was furious. "I knew you were lying to me! What do you mean by when they have time? If I wait for them to come visit you, I'm afraid that even if I wait until my hair turns white, they won't come! "
Ling Tian lowered his head in embarrassment and was speechless.
Chu Ting 'er reprimanded him again. Seeing that he was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, she immediately lost interest in teaching him a lesson and waved her hand for him to leave. She sighed deeply and only told him that he must go in the next two days. These three days of meeting must not be missed. If he missed these few days, it would be harder than ascending to heaven to see those young ladies again.
Ling Tian felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He turned around and slipped into his small courtyard. Seeing Ling Chen come up to him with a smile that was not a smile, he knew that this girl must have been eavesdropping. He did not have the time to settle the score with her and hurriedly ordered, "Immediately send out the news. Tell the four people in charge of collecting information, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, as well as Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, and Chi to wait in the courtyard. After eating, we will immediately go to the courtyard!"
Ling Chen did not hesitate and said, "Yes!" She returned to her room and sent out the messenger hawk.
The four people that Ling Tian mentioned, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, were the elites that Ling Tian had handpicked back then. The four of them were all orphans and did not have names. Ling Tian simply named them Ling Six, Ling Seven, Ling Eight, and Ling Nine. Now, these four people were in charge of collecting information in the North, South, East, and West directions.
As for the sources of information and manpower, Ling Tian only gave them the method and did not care about other matters. In Ling Tian's words, if everything had to be done by him in order to succeed, then what did he want them to do? Other than delivering information, if there was nothing, don't bother him. If there was something, don't look for him. Do as you see fit!
Under Ling Tian's high pressure, the four of them grew very quickly. In a few years, they each had their own information network. Other than collecting information for Ling Tian, they could also sell information that they were interested in to other powers and earn some extra money. This was because after Ling Tian gave them the initial capital, he required them to be self-sufficient. However, in these few years, each of them had made great achievements. Other than being able to maintain their own systems, they could also take out a lot of silver to support the courtyard's training. This was something that Ling Tian did not expect.
As for Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, and Chi, they were selected by Ling Tian at the same time as the other four for special training. Their names were Ling Yun, Ling Feng, Ling Lei, Ling Dian, and Ling Chi! After Ling Tian trained them carefully, they were all handed over to Ling Jian. Currently, Ling Tian was the most powerful force on the continent, the most mysterious assassin organization on the continent. The main figures of the "First Pavilion" were these five people and the leader, Ling Jian. Especially the youngest, Ling Chi, whose progress was so fast that he was almost catching up to Ling Jian! Now that Ling Jian had been sent to the north by Ling Tian, he could only talk to the five of them.
After lunch, Ling Tian did not bring a single follower, only Ling Chen. The two of them jumped onto their horses and rode straight to the Ling House. When the soldiers guarding the city gates saw that it was the young master of the Ling family, they did not dare to say anything. From afar, they had already ordered the gates to be opened.
Casually throwing down a banknote, Ling Tian and Ling Chen did not stop and directly rode out. In less than an hour, the Ling House was already in sight.
The walls were completely made of bluestone and were at least four zhang high! It stood majestically in the middle of a dense willow forest. This was the first suggestion that Ling Tian had made when building the courtyard. The purpose was to completely prevent outsiders from spying on it. Grandfather Ling and Old Lady Ling had been to this courtyard a few times. The first time they came, Grandfather Ling had sensed the huge ambition hidden behind the high walls. At that time, Grandfather Ling only sighed deeply and did not say anything else. He only asked Ling Xiao to build a military camp next to the courtyard. There were five thousand soldiers stationed there. It was not to monitor the courtyard, but to let the sounds of training in the military camp cover the similar sounds in the courtyard.
Ling Xiao, this great general, had also been here a few times. However, every time he came, Ling Chen had already informed the courtyard through a carrier eagle. Therefore, Ling Xiao only saw the beautiful decorations in the courtyard and was not used to it. He felt that this was a complete waste of the family's wealth and that it was the hobby of a silk pants! From then on, he never came again, saying that he did not want to be angry. Ling Tian was naturally happy that he did not come. It was exactly what he wanted.
