After Ling Yao withdrew the pressure, looking at Ling Feng's back crawling away, Ling Weiran held his forehead with a painful expression:
"In the past, you always advised me to choose the next head of the family early and stop other people from thinking about it, so as to avoid them fighting... Now do you know why I can't make a choice for so long?
"You're not familiar with them, and you can't understand them unless you encounter something! These guys are nothing but mud! They're either simple-minded or short-sighted!
"If he colludes with the Wang family, will the Wang family help him become the head of the family? Yes! But what about the future? In the future, the entire Ling family will become the Wang family, so there will be no head of the Ling family! Such a simple reason, he Why don’t you understand?”
Ling Yao leaned down and gently patted Ling Weiran's back to calm him down:
"Perhaps you gave the command to Ling Linhan, making him think that the position of the head of the family might also fall to Hengnan in the future, and he was a little anxious. The second brother is usually fine, but when encountering such a big event, it is easy to get into chaos. Proportion.”
"At this time, you are still speaking for him! No matter in terms of ability or temperament, Ling Feng is not capable of taking on the great responsibility of commanding this time! If there were no other candidates, would I give such a huge power to Ling Tianyi's son? ?! I hate their Hengnan branch before it’s too late!”
Ling Weiran looked tired, as if everything that had happened in these days had made him look much older.
"And this time, it's just the command of a battle. If I can really be generous and let go of the past grudges. With the child's ability, I should directly give him the position of head of the family! Not now In this way, I will try my best to give these juniors of the master's family time to grow up! I am giving them a chance..."
Ling Yao naturally understood that the grievances between Ling Weiran and Ling Tianyi could not fade away with the death of either party.
It is rare for Ling Weiran to be able to avoid harming the other party's family. There is no way he would hand over such great power to Heng Nan for no reason.
If it weren't for this critical situation and the need to use all means to protect the Ling family, how could Ling Weiran have delegated power to Ling Linhan? Do you really think he was impressed by the "charm of the protagonist"?
It's a pity that Ling Feng didn't take this aspect into consideration at all. He just thought that Ling Weiran looked down on the master's disciples other than Ling Yao, and was planning to pass the master's disciples to "outsiders" like the branch clan.
"The second brother may not be able to do this, but for other people, you don't need to be too particular about their strength. Although I can't spare any time to take charge of the Ling family, as long as you choose the head of the family, I will continue to do so in the future. Look after him and be his backer."
After hearing Ling Yao's words, Ling Weiran sighed repeatedly:
"Look, he clearly knows that you are not interested in the position of the head of the family, so it's fine that he doesn't win over you, but he actually said that you... ugh... I'm even angry for you!"
"In my opinion, he was disrespectful to you and disrespected you. It just makes me angry. If I just rely on his foul mouth to spit out a few harmless curse words, there is really nothing to be angry about.
"The harder he scolds me, the more he proves that he can find a sense of superiority through those unfounded rumors, but he really has nothing to compare with me. If you are angry, it is because you feel sorry for me. If not, I am afraid that you will be angry. I'd rather be happy now that I've lost my body."
Ling Yao's words made Ling Weiran feel relieved and smiled a little:
"What a mouthful you are... But now that you are back, I finally feel relieved. By the way, did you receive the letter I wrote to you earlier?"
Seeing Ling Weiran change the topic, Ling Yao sat down beside him:
"My fellow junior brother has handed it over to me. I already know the general situation of the Ling family this month. The battle situation on the front line is safe enough, but the rear area... is really chaotic. It seems that I have to stay in the Ling family during this period. ”
"Even if there weren't all these messy things, I'm afraid you would still have to sit in the master's house for some time."
Ling Weiran said helplessly,
"This time, for the sake of the Ling family, I have no choice but to hand over the command to Ling Linhan. He is very strong and does a good job. The front line has always been stable. But for the main family, it may not be a good thing. Especially ...The rumors about your life experience have appeared again recently. This is very unusual. I am worried that this is an opportunity for the Hengnan branch to suppress you while striving for merit..."
"It may not be the work of the people over at Hengnan. Even the Wang family, if they want to push Lingfeng up to be their puppet, don't they need to kick away my 'stumbling block'?"
Ling Weiran didn't know that the relationship between Ling Yao and Ling Linhan had eased, and even if the relationship between them eased, it didn't mean that other people in Hengnan wouldn't have other ideas.
It's just that everyone knows these things well, and telling them now in front of Ling Weiran will only increase worries.
"Today, you have a good rest first. Tomorrow, I will show you your face in front of them, so that I can officially hand over the control of the master's side to you. You are the only one who can suppress these restless guys. …”
"this……"
Ling Yao originally wanted to say that it didn't have to be like this, everything could have been done long ago. But then I thought about it, Ling Weiran wanted to transfer the power to him. In addition to making it easier for him to do things, another reason was that compared with Ling Linhan, who was also a genius, Zhuang Yi Zhuang's family's momentum - after all, Ling Weiran wanted to transfer the power to him. Wei Ran is getting older and does not have the vigor and potential of Ling Linhan. It is inevitable that people will think that the main family is in decline.
In this case, it is not convenient for Ling Yao to refuse this job:
"I'm sorry to bother you. I'll take a look at the files from this period tonight. After the logistics are arranged, I have to go to the front line to appease people."
"It's not troublesome, but I'm going to have to work hard for you."
Ling Weiran shook his head and handed the key to the archives office into Ling Yao's hand.
"Go back and see your father. You may not have seen him for a long time."
After chatting with Ling Weiran for a few more words, Ling Yao took the keys and said goodbye and went home.
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yao pushed open the fence door, the smell of alcohol in the yard hit his face. It is said that it smells of alcohol, but it is not a fragrance, but rather a rancid rancid smell. It smells very unpleasant.
Ling Yao rolled his eyes, pinched his nose and took a few steps inside. Then he saw the person in the room swaying open the door and walking out, holding a gourd of low-quality wine in his hand.
"Is this you? I thought it was someone who came to deliver wine..."
There was a hint of disgust in this tone, which made Ling Yao roll his eyes immediately:
"It seems that your son is worse than bad wine mixed with water. Your heart has strayed as far north as the Plains of Qiongbing."
After saying that, the mustard bag on his waist flashed, and a jar of wine appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the wine jar away.
When Ling Xingran saw this, he moved his nose, immediately threw away the gourd in his hand, stretched out his hands to embrace the jar:
"A son or something like a son... I don't even have a wife here, so where can I get a son? Huhu - such a good wine, can't you be careful!?"
While he was talking, he was stroking the wine jar and putting his face to the lid, trying to get a little smell of wine from inside.
Ling Yao had long been accustomed to Ling Xingran's state of talking nonsense and turning away from people when he saw wine, and he could no longer think of refuting him.
It's strange to say that back then, this old man was chasing after him every day with a stick, forcing him to practice all the time. Why did he suddenly change his temper later and wish he could throw himself out to live free?
Ling Yao never bothered to think about such things that were incomprehensible and of no importance. Anyway, as long as this man has wine as a filial piety, he will be satisfied. It was not in vain that he rummaged through the treasure pavilion of the God King Temple to find a good wine that could be enjoyed in such a cyclone realm in the nook and corner.
He shook his head, bypassed Ling Xingran who was smiling happily while holding a drink, used his spiritual power to clean up the inside and outside of the room, and then left quietly.
Ling Yao's arrival seemed to give the head of the Ling family a shot in the arm. Not only was the transfer of power extremely smooth, but the morale among the guards was also greatly boosted.
After looking through the files for a few days, and still having experience in handling branch affairs, Ling Yao quickly grasped the current situation and was ready to lead the team to the battlefield.
In fact, even if he was not needed to participate in the battle on the front line, it was time for him to meet that boy Ling Linhan.
However, just the day before his departure...
…
["You mean...Ling Yao is back?"
Seeing the raised brows and sharp gaze of the murderous god in front of him, the servant of the master who had sent the message had his legs trembling, and he knelt down and prostrated on the ground:
"Yes, sir. Not only that, the clan leader has also given him the responsibility for all the guards and supplies of the master's family. The news they just received is that they will set off to the border of Hengnan tomorrow."
Ling Linhan knew that the servants of his master's family were trying to downplay and flatter others. After hearing about his achievements during this period, he would naturally recall what he had done to the Hengnan lineage and couldn't help but be afraid of himself.
Although he doesn't intend to deliberately embarrass these people, he won't give them a good look either:
"What else? Is that Ling Yao so scary that he just came back and made you so scared that you couldn't even stand?"
Although Ling Linhan's original intention was to blame this person for his mental incompetence, to this person's ears, these words seemed to make him choose between Ling Yao and Ling Linhan. In front of this murderous god, how could he dare to hide anything? He kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times and then said everything:
"My lord makes atonement, my lord makes atonement. It's just that this matter is important, and this villain is stupid and doesn't know how to talk about it for a moment. Yes, it's because... after Young Master Ling came back a few days ago, he asked the clan leader for the key to the archives and checked this paragraph Time information. And just last night...the file office...was leaked!"
Ling Linhan suddenly stood up from his seat, frowned, and asked:
"How did it burn? How much was burned? Is anyone injured?"
"The fire burned all night long. The servants went in and snatched some files nearby, but those deep inside and that were ancient...
"As for how the fire started, I just heard from hearsay that the fire was burning from deep inside. But for this reason, the host has not yet found out. But some people say that it may be because the sky is dry and things are dry. No one was injured. …”
"This weather is dry and dry?"
Ling Feiyu, who was standing behind Ling Linhan's seat, sneered.
"Today we are burning the files, and tomorrow we are burning the prison. If we had been a little later, would all the evidence of their crimes against the Hengnan team have been burned completely? Brother Han, do we want to go back? So that nothing happens to them again?"
However, Ling Linhan frowned, shook his head and said:
"The demons haven't retreated yet. What are you going to do at this time? Which side is more important? Don't you have a clue?"
Ling Feiyu suddenly choked up, as if he was embarrassed in front of outsiders, and turned his head away with a look of reluctance.
As if feeling that his tone was a bit harsh, Ling Linhan added another sentence:
"Feiyu, I don't want to fight for that position. But if they want to step on me, I won't let them succeed. Don't worry."
"I know - I'm not afraid that you'll be soft-hearted! You'd better think about it again! Don't let the host's dirty tricks take advantage of you and regret it later!"
Ling Feiyu puffed up his lips, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was just feigned anger. After dismissing the servant, the two chatted for a few more words before Ling Feiyu withdrew.
In the quiet lobby, Ling Linhan leaned on the Taishi chair, tapping his fingers on the table in rhythm:
"I am no longer the same person I was then...
"What are you going to do this time...?"
】(from Chapter 352 of "The Avenue of Heaven and Earth" - Decision)
…
"Ling Feiyu...ahhh, I'm so annoyed! He's obviously a liar from Shenlong Academy! Who knows, they deceived me back this time to set up some plot while I'm not on the front line. How can I dare to leave!"
Ling Linhan raised his head and shouted silently with a dead look on his face,
"When talking to this kind of person, I feel tired and faint without even saying a few words! When will this day end!"
"Sir, the Ice Fairy is here to visit."
A servant's announcement came from outside the door. After hearing this, Ling Linhan calmed down his expression and coughed a few times:
"Ahem, let her in."
TUT has another difficult one to deal with. He is too difficult.
"Little friend Linhan."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first. Ling Linhan looked up and saw Yin Ruobing approaching with gentle steps.
Ling Linhan quickly stood up and responded:
"Why is little friend Ruobing here, but the house didn't provide good hospitality and didn't get enough rest?"
"The house entertains Ji Zhou, Ruobing has a good rest."
Yin Ruobing bowed slightly, followed Ling Linhan's lead, and landed on the guest seat beside her.
"It's just... I heard some rumors on the road just now. Ruobing is a little uneasy. The matter is serious and I have to find a friend to find out..."
As soon as Ling Linhan heard this, he knew something was wrong, and he couldn't help but have a headache again.
Ever since he returned to Hengnan, all kinds of troubles have happened one after another. As soon as he finished, one thing came after another, and sometimes several pieces came together, which made him very annoyed.
But it was precisely these things that gave him a headache at first glance. When he actually started to solve them, they seemed to be helped by someone from somewhere, and they were solved naturally.
If we say that he was indeed very lucky during the time he was at the Rukawa Divine King Temple. But that was temporary after all, and the development of things was reasonable.
Here in Hengnan, whether he is managing the family tradition or commanding the army; whether it is his first time dealing with problems or problems he has never seen before, as long as he shows up, everything will end well—— How can there be such good luck in the world?
Moreover, he had just issued an order to repair the dam and lead his people to eliminate the demons. After returning from a day out, some people began to kneel in front of the house and shout something like "Your Majesty's blessings to the people are better than God's grace", "The farmland is fertile and the grain yield rate is high", "Sales have increased a hundred times" and so on, the banners, the umbrellas of the people... the same. None were left behind.
Ling Linhan had a dark face and didn't know whether to expose these people - even if the dam was repaired in just one day, the farmland would not produce food so quickly! If the embankment had not been repaired, he would have raised his knife to chop these blowers!
This quickly reminded him of the smooth sailing situation he had in Shenlong Academy - he seemed to be back in that cage where he had been clearly arranged by someone.
And whether it was then or now, the only person who has the best opportunity to understand his actions and arrange things around him is Ling Feiyu.
Although grandpa checked Ling Feiyu's past, he didn't find anything suspicious. But if there were really people from Shenlong Academy who were causing trouble, how could the Xiao Hengnan Ling family be able to find out?
In contrast, although Yin Ruobing is suspected of being close to her for benefit, as the young master of Zixian Pavilion, she will not cooperate too deeply with Shenlong Academy; more importantly, she does not have the ability to control the people around her. situation.
With her as a reference, he can also make a better judgment on Ling Feiyu's behavior.
However, I don’t know if the news Yin Ruobing brought this time was caused by Ling Feiyu...
"I heard that something happened at your Ling family head's house...
"We must cut off the supplies guarded by other clans."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Ling Linhan was about to say "I knew it earlier":? ? ? ?
I really don’t know this! !
