If others took it back, they would be snatching it from them.
Leng Hua said, “Qin Canglan is already old. There will always be times when he is powerless. What we really have to be wary of are those few little ones.”
Leng Zhao glanced at his eldest son. “You mean Wei Ting and Su MO?”
Leng Hua analyzed, “Over the years, the Su family’s military forces have gradually moved to the southwest. They don’t have much conflict with us for the time being. Wei Ting is Lord Wu An’s grandson. If he raises his arm and shouts, it’s hard to guarantee that the subordinate Lord Wu An and Wei Xu old subordinates won’t be tempted.”
The man in black, who had been silent, said calmly, “It was not easy to kill him in the capital. Now that he’s at the border, are you afraid that he won’t have a chance?”
Wei Ting, Su Xiaoxiao, Qin Canglan, and Su MO were sitting in the tent eating. Their food was the same as the soldiers’.
Halfway through the meal, Xiao Duye sent someone over to summon them and said that he had something urgent to discuss.
The few of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and went to Xiao Duye.
Leng Kui and Leng Hua were also there. They sat on Xiao Duye’s left. In addition, there were two new faces. One sat between Leng Kui and Leng Hua,
Su Xiaoxiao had never seen them.
Wei Ting introduced them to her in a low voice. “It’s Leng Zhao and his deputy, Leng Ziling.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “His surname is also Leng?”
Wei Ting said, “It’s said that he’s Leng Zhao’s illegitimate son. He’s not on the family tree. ”
Su Xiaoxiao sized him up and happened to look at him. Their eyes met, and Su Xiaoxiao felt a dangerous aura.
This illegitimate son was not simple. He was probably the most powerful expert of the Leng family.
“Sit,” Xiao Duye said.
Qin Canglan sat down on the right of the Prince of Liang with Su Xiaoxiao and the others.
Xiao Duye said solemnly, “I suddenly summoned you here to discuss attacking
Northern Yan. General Leng Zhao has just returned from his investigation in Northern Yan. Helian Ye’s army has already marched out of the snow mountain and will reach Broken North Pass in three days at most. He has 100,000 soldiers and Tuoba Lie has 30,000. We don’t have the advantage in terms of military strength, so I want to hear your opinions.”
Leng Kui looked at Qin Canglan with a rare humble attitude. “Now that the old
Protector Duke is the commander-in-chief at the border, why don’t the old
Protector Duke speak first?”
Qin Canglan nodded and said, “Let’s fight head-on.”
Leng Kui smiled faintly. “That’s a little inappropriate. I know that your Qin Family Army is powerful, but if the casualties are too heavy, we’ll lose even if we win.”
Qin Canglan looked at him indifferently. “So what do you think?”
Leng Kui pointed at the map on the table and said, “I think we should send troops to exterminate Tuoba Lie’s 30,000-strong army first and make Helian Ye lose his help. At the same time, send 50,000 troops to Broken North Pass to fight Helian Ye head-on. Of course, this is only a method to confuse Helian Ye. What we really want to do is assassinate Helian Ye.”
Qin Canglan smiled. “Do you think it’s so easy to assassinate Helian Ye? Do you think his 100,000-strong army is just for show and will let you come and go freely to his military camp?
Leng Kui said confidently, “That’s why we must choose experts with top martial arts and outstanding qinggong.”
Qin Canglan said, “It sounds like you already have a suitable candidate in your heart.’
Leng Kui said, “Leng Ziling.”
Leng Ziling walked out from behind Leng Zhao and cupped her hands at Xiao Duye. “I’m willing to work for Your Highness!”
“You’re Leng Ziling?”
Xiao Duye was surprised.
He had heard of him. He was a rare talent in the Leng family. Because his mother was from a brothel, the Leng family had never officially recognized him.
His martial arts were unfathomable. When he was only 14 years old, he had fought Wei Xu. Even Wei Xu praised him for being stronger than his sons. “Are you willing to assassinate Helian Ye?” Xiao Duye asked excitedly.
If he attacked, he would definitely succeed!
“Heh.” Wei Ting laughed mockingly. “When is it your Leng family’s turn to kill Helian Ye?”
Xiao Duye frowned.
Leng Kui smiled. “From General Wei’s tone, he seems to be dissatisfied with the Leng family’s arrangements. ”
Wei Ting said arrogantly, “Helian Ye’s life is mine. If some one has to kill him, I should be the one.”
An idea flashed across Xiao Duye’s mind. He slammed the table and said,
“That’s easy! The two of you go together!”
Leng Ziling said indifferently, “Ziling is used to being alone and never carries out missions with others. If he goes, Ziling won’t go.”
“Well…” Xiao Duye was in a difficult position.
Wei Ting looked at Leng Ziling with a faint smile. “Not everyone is qualified to assassinate Helian Ye. If you can defeat me, I’ll let you go!” Qin Canglan frowned and said, “This is not child’s play…”
“Okay,” Leng Ziling agreed.
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes. “However, in view of your past actions, I have every reason to suspect that your Leng family went to collude with Northern
Yan.”
Leng Zhao glared at him and said, “Wei Ting, don’t slander me!”
Wei Ting smiled faintly. “Then let’s make it clear first. If I win, I’ll kill Helian Ye. If I lose, he has to make a military pledge not to leave Northern Yan until he kills Helian Ye!”
Leng Ziling said, “I promise you.”
The two of them went to the arena on the drill ground. The soldiers of the three armies rushed over to watch.
Leng Zhao said to Leng Ziling, “In a while, you only need to injure him and lose to him. Let him kill Helian Ye with injuries. I don’t believe he can come back alive.”
Leng Ziling had a unique palm technique. The person who was struck did not suffer any abnormalities at that time. Only after 12 hours would he suffer serious internal injuries.
When Wei Ting’s internal injuries acted up, he would already already in Helian Ye’s military camp.
As for Leng Ziling… Leng Zhao glanced at Su Xiaoxiao below the arena. He had an even more important mission.
The two of them went into the arena.
Su MO said, “Granduncle, I suspect that the Leng family wants to send us away and let sister be alone.”
He and his grandfather had to go to Broken North Pass. His sister would stay in the barbican to treat the injured soldiers. This was already the news.
However, Jing Yi was also seriously injured. If even Wei Ting went to assassinate Helian Ye at this time, his sister would be in danger.
Leng Ziling was not a soldier in the army. He could choose not to fight and stay in the barbican.
Qin Canglan looked at the Leng family coldly and snorted. “A group of ingrates.”
The competition officially began.
Leng Ziling was the Leng family’s killing tool. He was cold-blooded and calm enough. He had been feeding Wei Ting more than ten moves, but he was not anxious at all.
He was waiting for a perfect opportunity. He had to hit Wei Ting in the chest.
Finally, Wei Ting revealed a flaw.
He sank his qi into his dantian, circulated his internal energy, and slapped toward Wei Ting’s chest!
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Wei Ting suddenly clutched his chest and fell.
Leng Ziling missed and staggered a few times, almost falling to the ground!
Wei Ting exaggeratedly spat out a circle of “blood” into the sky. “What powerful internal strength! What a powerful palm technique! I can’t move my entire body… I can’t mobilize my aura…”
As he spoke, he turned around in extreme grief. “You win… Go and kill Helian Ye! Don’t forget the military pledge you made. If you don’t kill Helian Ye, you won’t leave Northern Yan!”
And so was the Leng family..
