The King of the Warring States Era - C39
Chen Ling walked out of the caravan’s camp and stood in front of the forest as he looked at the Lady Bai Merchant Group’s camp. The bonfire was shining bright, and some families were still patrolling, he wanted to go in and pay a visit to the young miss of the Bai Family and ask her about the situation in the other countries.
Currently, he only had one military title, almost nothing else, but he had the rich knowledge and culture from two thousand years ago. Although most of his knowledge was shallow, even to the point that he only knew the basics, it was precisely these furs.
Furthermore, Chen Ling was born in an ancient martial family, he had a lot of knowledge about cold weapons. He had mastered the techniques of smelting iron and forging high grade weapons, and the experiences of smelting and weaponsmithing were all 2000 years old. Many people with great wisdom continued to innovate and reform them, even some experiences accumulated in the people all converged together and formed the field of metallurgical manufacturing.
Chen Ling was experienced, upon seeing this scene, he had already guessed that it was not far from the mark. His figure flashed, and quietly followed along.
“Zhan Xiong’s men did not succeed, a group of Wei Jun arrived midway and messed up the plan, hurry and inform the young master, tomorrow afternoon we will pass by Soul-Drop Slope, let young master ambush the caravan there, we will slaughter all of them!”
“Okay, I’ll go inform the young lord right away. You go back and monitor the movements of the young lady and the caravan secretly, if there is any sudden change, send a signal immediately. The young lord will send people to support them, this time we’ll eliminate the root of the problem …”
“Sigh, killing all of them would just be a pity for that beautiful Bai Ruoxi girl, who is simply too devastatingly beautiful to kill. Isn’t it a bit too much of a waste for her to kill them just like that?”
“Hehe, the young master is more important, as long as he controls the Lady Bai family, he would be as rich as a kingdom. In the future, he will be able to create his own army and quickly rise to prominence in the whole duchy.
“That’s true, hehe …”
The two of them laughed evilly and were about to leave to report when suddenly, two beams of cold light shot out towards them from the sky.
The two black figures were still swaying, but the two rays of light were like shadows that just happened to hit the center of gravity of the figure. With a miserable “Ah” sound, the two of them fell to the ground after being hit by a concealed weapon at the same time.
Chen Ling clapped his hands, and took out a rope from the bag tied around his waist to tie the two of them up, and of course, he started to pull them up one by one. Originally, his arm strength was limited, and his hands were powerless.
Carrying the two spies, Chen Ling swaggered towards the camp of the Lady Bai’s caravan.
… ….
Just then, Bai Ruoxi had already finished discussing the matter with the butler, the elder deacon, the martial master and the family general. Just as she was about to leave, a servant guard walked into the tent and cupped his hands: “Eldest Miss, Lieutenant Chen is out to see Eldest Miss.”
Hearing that, Bai Ruoxi frowned, why does this Chen Ling want to see me? In the middle of the night, when a man wanted to enter a woman’s tent that hadn’t left the pavilion, he couldn’t help but caress Meng Lang lightly. Even though she had a good and grateful impression of Chen Ling, it didn’t mean that the two of them had a deeper relationship.
“Don’t leave, invite him in to have a chat. See if there’s anything Lieutenant Chen wants to visit in the middle of the night?” Bai Ruoxi said solemnly.
Not only did she have to be well-informed and controlled, she also had to be calm and composed, not panicking in the slightest, being flexible and agile in every way, in order to not change anything. Bai Ruoxi had started to manage the business of the family at the age of sixteen, and by the time she was twenty this year, she had already developed a calm and steady personality.
When the others heard their Young Miss’s words, they sat down again and looked towards the entrance of the tent at the same time. They saw Chen Ling holding onto two bodies with both hands and walking into the tent, then easily throwing the two unconscious people onto the ground.
“This is …” Bai Ruoxi’s mind froze, she did not know what to say.
“Gao Qiu, it’s him. How did he offend the Lieutenant Chen?”
“Who is that person?”
Chen Ling faced the crowd’s gazes and discussions, and did not notice at all, smiling: “I had caught these two outside the camp, and was using a secret signal to contact them, muttering something about Young Master, exterminating the grass at its roots, Soul-Drop Slope, etc. I saw that their whereabouts were suspicious, so I took action to capture them, and passed them to First Miss and everyone else ….” As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of all the members of the White Clan in the tent turned as white as silk.
