Borrowing Rations
"Alright!" "Alright!"
The two of them mounted their horses and galloped towards Supreme City. Along the way, Lin Ling constantly conversed with Huang Tian, which gave Huang Tian a good impression of him. Lin Ling also roughly understood the situation in Supreme City from Huang Tian's mouth. That city was truly a city of tyrants!
This Huang Tian had plundered countless people's wealth over the years. If he didn't rob this kind of person, he would be letting down the Second Prince!
When the carriage arrived at Supreme City, Huang Tian began to receive Lin Ling politely. Lin Ling didn't say a word about his purpose until the next day. He then invited Huang Tian to a restaurant for a meal. After the meal, he smiled and said, "City Lord Huang, I am flattered by your hospitality. However, there is something in my heart that I don't know if I should say it or not." "Alright!"
After a day of interaction, Lin Ling gave Huang Tian the impression that he was amiable and occasionally hedonistic. This made Huang Tian think that Lin Ling was a descendant of some great clan that was out on a trip.
"We are all working for the Cloud Sea Empire and are worried about the country and the people. Commander Lin, please speak your mind!" Huang Tian said extremely politely.
Worried about the country and the people?
Lin Ling's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain. He had already seen the city lord residence was overflowing with wealth, and many people in the city couldn't even afford to eat. This Huang Tian actually had the nerve to say that he was worried about the country and the people?
Furthermore, the Sky Fragrance City was currently lacking in soldiers and rations. If he was really worried about the country and the people, why didn't he support them? He even ignored Huang Tian's superior, the Wang Hai King. In the entire Heaven Mystics Kingdom, only the Second Prince would send troops to support the Sky Fragrance City!
"It's nothing much. I just want to borrow some rations from you!" Lin Ling smiled and said.
Once this statement was out, Huang Tian's heart turned cold. So this was Commander Lin's idea. Unfortunately, he found the wrong person!
He smiled and said, "Commander Lin is the one leading the troops. This one will naturally support you with all my strength. Unfortunately, Supreme City isn't a land of riches. This City Lord's sleeves are like the wind, and it is hard for me to take out any rations. How about this, this one will privately take out a hundred stones of rations to support Commander?" "Yes!
His words were filled with righteousness, as though he was bleeding in order to support Lin Ling!
One hundred dans of grain and fodder?
It was only enough for ten people for five days. This Huang Tian was really stingy!
"City Lord Huang is righteous. We don't need that much, nor can we take that much. Why don't we take it ourselves?" Lin Ling said with a faint smile.
When Huang Tian heard that, he was delighted. It would be even better if he could take it. There were only two of them, how much could they take?
He immediately nodded and said, "Commander Lin is really considerate. Actually, even for the Supreme City, a hundred dan of grain is extremely difficult. For Commander Lin to be considerate, this is the blessing of the people of the Supreme City!" "
Lin Ling smiled and nodded. "That's right, that's right! "
After saying that, he nodded to Tian Xiaoman behind him. Tian Xiaoman understood him and walked out in large strides.
Take it yourself!
That wasn't a mere hundred dans of grain and provisions!
The two of them continued to eat and drink. Not long after, an adjutant anxiously ran in and said, "Not good, my lord. I don't know when, but several thousand people have arrived in the city. They are now robbing the manor of its provisions. They are not letting anything go! "
"What? "
Huang Tian's expression changed and he immediately stood up.
"City Lord Huang, don't worry. Those are my people. I only asked them to take some grain and provisions. They won't take a lot. City Lord Huang, don't worry!" Lin Ling leisurely picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "That's right."
"But they even took all the horses, weapons, and spirit crystals. And they are even giving out grain to the people!" The adjutant anxiously said.
"How dare you!" "Hmph!"
Huang Tian's eyes narrowed and he coldly looked at Lin Ling. If he still didn't understand what was going on, then he would be an idiot!
This Lin Ling was actually robbing the City Lord Manor under the pretense of borrowing grain and provisions!
"Commander Lin, shouldn't you give me an explanation? This is robbery. Don't forget, I am Wang Hai King's man!" Huang Tian's aura spread out.
Unfortunately, Lin Ling was indifferent and continued to drink. "Robbery? City Lord Huang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! " "Hmph!"
"Bastard!" "Rage!"
Huang Tian flew into a rage. His aura exploded out like a tiger and pressed down on Lin Ling.
Lin Ling stood up and lightly patted Huang Tian's shoulder with his right hand. An even more powerful aura pressed down. His expression also became cold. "I already said it was borrowing, but you insist on saying it was robbery. You are falsely accusing me. City Lord Huang, don't go too far!" "Rage!"
Go too far?
Huang Tian was so angry that he almost lost his mind. Who was the one going too far? A few thousand of you stole my grain and now you have the nerve to say that I'm going too far? Moreover, this is robbery, not borrowing!
"Alright, Commander Lin, you are very arrogant. But when my ten thousand troops return, you are dead!" Huang Tian's expression was extremely cold.
Lin Ling chuckled and slapped Huang Tian. His tyrannical strength sent Huang Tian sprawling on the ground. Then he indifferently said, "Men, tie him up." "Tie!"
"You dare to tie me up? I am the City Lord personally appointed by the Cloud Sea Empire, and I am also one of the Wang Hai King's people. You have kicked an iron plate. When my ten thousand troops return, you will definitely regret it!" Huang Tian was tied up, but he still angrily spoke.
"Haha, is that so? Then come with me to take a look!" "Alright."
Lin Ling faintly smiled and brought Huang Tian to the top of the restaurant. After a moment, he stood on the roof and looked into the distance. Outside the Supreme City, there was a densely packed army of fifty thousand. Huang Tian's eyes widened in fright. His entire body went cold, and the smell of urine wafted out. His pants were also wet.
He originally thought that Lin Ling was just a small commander and that having a few thousand subordinates was already giving him enough face. But who would have thought that Lin Ling actually had fifty thousand people!
"Brothers, City Lord Huang has over ten thousand troops stationed in the city. Did you properly receive them?" "Yes."
Lin Ling loudly shouted into the distance.
Boom!
Soaring murderous aura surged out, causing the clouds in the sky to disperse. Ever since they started cultivating in the Devil Cloud Mountain, their aura had become even sharper. Right now, they were like a real army!
Moreover, the murderous aura was so strong that it seemed like there were over a thousand of them. It was even stronger than some veteran troops!
"Reporting to the commander, we have already received the troops stationed in the city!" "Boom!"
A loud roar that shook the heavens and earth rang out. Everyone spoke.
Huang Tian's lips were trembling. Then, he looked carefully and discovered that his ten thousand troops stationed in the city were tied up. Each of them had a bitter smile on their faces!
How could this be?
Could it be that in the short time it took to eat a meal, all of his people were tied up?
What kind of army did Lin Ling lead? It was so terrifying!
"City Lord Huang, I am sorry, but your troops have already been dealt with. I have made you wait in vain!" Lin Ling faintly smiled, squatted down, and patted Huang Tian's chubby face.
Huang Tian bitterly smiled: "Commander Lin, take whatever you want. But please spare me. I am only a subordinate of the Wang Hai King!" "Alright.
