Chapter 500: Brewing Crisis

Translator: chuchutrain Editor: Rock, DavidT

Looking at Shui QianRou's excited face, Ling Chen suddenly let out a smile as she unhurriedly said, ”Some matters, while being confident is a must, being overconfident will also lead to problems . Sister… should be prepared for any scenario to happen . ”

Shui QianRou let out a sound of agreement, but her heart still disapproved a little as she remarked, ”Sister does not need to worry, there will not be any problems . ” The moment she finished speaking, she paused for a while before she continued, ”Sister Chen, since our families are now in a cooperative relations.h.i.+p, should you… take a look at my clansmen who came over?”

Ling Chen contemplated for a while before smiling . ”That's fine . ” Upon recalling the three youths of the Shui Family, an icy cold intent surfaced on her brows . . .

Having achieved her objective, Shui QianRou was full of happiness and bade farewell as she left .

At this point, Li Xue suddenly appeared from behind Ling Chen, gazing at Shui QianRou's diminis.h.i.+ng silhouette as she indifferently asked, ”Shall we act?”

Ling Chen leaned back wearily, as she let out a soft sound of a.s.sent, her voice faintly discernible, ”Such a huge affair gives me the feeling that we're treading on thin ice… if only young n.o.ble was here… we would have fewer problems…”

Li Xue laughed, ”If we were to leave any single matter to him, most likely he would be tired to death after a few days . Better than worrying for him, wouldn't you rather that he remained worry-free?!”

Ling Chen let out a groan and grabbed onto Li Xue's slim waist as she grumbled, ”Sister Xue, Chen'er is really tired . But, I would rather be tired than sad . ”

Tenderly stroking the head of hair that was pressed on her stomach, Li Xue tenderly replied, ”For him, we can do anything… and it won't be a ch.o.r.e . ”

”En… for him, even the worst of fatigue will disappear . ” Ling Chen lightly replied .

”Regarding the doc.u.ments of Southern Zheng, have you received them?” Li Xue suddenly asked .

”That's right, and the Ling Family's military force is also in the process of a.s.sembling, slowly pressuring the Southern Zheng area . ” Ling Chen muttered . ”Don't move, Sister Xue… let me lean on you for a while longer…”

Li Xue could only let out a sigh as she thought, I seem to have become a nanny for Ling Tian… not only must I take care of him, but I even have to take care of his woman now! She could not help but inwardly laugh .

For those in a leaders.h.i.+p position, a single sentence can be a strategy, to the point that even a random thought coming from them could potentially result in a domino effect, not to mention meticulously planning for a scheme!

At this point, the side of Northern Wei was already at the point where soldiers were all armed to the teeth, swords drawn as the clouds of war covered the area densely . War could happen at any possible moment . More than 100,000 soldiers were stationed at the fortress, ready to charge towards Western Han at the first signal! This overly conspicuous signal caused the people in Western Han to all tremble in fear . They could only put their all into war preparations, without developing any false fantasies . Were it the past Northern Wei, with the imperial court ruling over it, Western Han could still feel more relaxed, but now, the real authority lay within the millennium-old Yu Family, and thinking about their background would make one tremble in fear . . .

On the other hand, in Sky Bearing where the Ling Family ruled now, Ling Tian's father Ling Xiao had mobilized tens of thousands of troops, encroaching towards the South, finally setting up a gigantic campsite fifty to sixty li away from their territory, giving off an unyielding att.i.tude! Towards Southern Zheng sending people to attack his own daughter-in-law, Ling Xiao displayed utmost resentment, demanding an explanation from them… and while Southern Zheng had offered compensation a few times, they were all arrogantly rejected by Ling Xiao, claiming that they had no sincerity behind the compensation… .

Having to compromise to such a large extent, yet having the other party say that their compensation had no sincerity, their intentions were quite obvious at this point . The monarch of Southern Zheng had long ago seen through the Ling Family's evil intentions, using this excuse to launch the war . Even if the a.s.sa.s.sination did not occur, sooner or later, they would still have come knocking with any random excuse in order to incite them to fight! Furious, Southern Zheng also began mobilizing their men, with an aura that was not disadvantaged in any way!

The Ling Family's Second General Shen RuHu also brought over ten thousand troops, deploying them to the common border between Sky Bearing and Eastern Zhao, before settling down and waiting . This threw Eastern Zhao into a panic . Could it be that the Ling Family planned to war on two fronts? Or could it be that the ruckus at Southern Zheng was a ploy, and the real objective would be the East? The mult.i.tude of differing opinions made it hard for anyone to come to a concrete conclusion .
