The King of the Warring States Era - C41

Bai Ruoxi was highly vigilant, and muttered: “Bai Yeyu is leading his own army, eight hundred family generals, two hundred over sword hands, and three experts of the Martial Master realm, their strength is far greater than theirs. If Zhan Xiong led his troops back and killed them, would that be two thousand people?”

She knew that the strength of the caravan was far from enough, so she turned to look at Chen Ling, who was sitting on the lower left side. He had 3000 troops under his command, 2,000 guards and 1,000 cavalry, which was more than enough to eliminate the bandits.

Chen Ling smiled indifferently, he did not say anything, and did not have any intention to help, as if it had nothing to do with him.

“This time, they have more than a thousand men, three powerful warriors, and over a hundred dojo swordsmen. Their fighting prowess is much higher than ours. If we were to fight head on, we would definitely suffer.”

“How about we turn back and leave, and return back to the Zhao Nation …”

If we, the caravan, travel too far and there is only a mountain road in front of us, our speed will definitely be slow. But if Bai Yeyu and the bandits team up and attack together, we will die without a burial ground, we will also have to team up with the Wei Army and pass through the Soul-Drop Slope together. ”

Yes, Lieutenant Chen has three thousand troops, why should we be afraid of Bai Yeyu and the bandits?

Everyone placed their hopes on Chen Ling. With 3000 regular Wei Army soldiers, they weren’t afraid of any bandit family mixed in with their servants.

Bai Ruoxi’s gaze once again landed on him and coincidentally, Chen Ling was also looking over with rapt attention. Both their gazes met, as though they could see the difficulty in each other’s gazes, and the latter finally spoke: “Eldest Miss, I want to speak with you alone for a bit, is that alright?”

Bai Ruoxi’s expression tensed up, she secretly called him over, in vain, I had a good impression of him, I thought he was a noble man, a noble man, to think that she was nothing more than this, dropping stones on people while they were down, hmph, could it be that men are all like this?

So the young miss had misunderstood, she thought that the reason why Chen Ling wasn’t willing to express his stance just now was because he wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a high price, and he even had a presumptuous thought about her! She had seen too many men like him when traveling to different parts of the world. It was impossible for her to not think about these.

All the elders, housekeepers, martial masters, and generals were startled at first, but their expressions immediately became ugly, as though they had thought of Chen Ling’s thoughts, and taken advantage of him!

“All of you can leave, I want to talk to the Lieutenant Chen alone!” Bai Ruoxi calmed down and her words came out as usual.

“Eldest Miss.” The others were a little worried, but no one dared to offend Chen Ling at this time. Otherwise, if the three thousand guards stood on Bai Yeyu’s side, their caravan would be doomed for good.

Everyone stood up and retreated, before leaving, they all stared at Chen Ling with cold gazes.

Chen Ling shrugged without reason, thinking that it was all because of your suspicious personality, but now, it was all because of me. Fuck, these days, is it easy for me to be an upright and good person?

Very quickly, only Chen Ling and Bai Ruoxi were left in the tent. There were six ancient bronze lamps, shining brightly in the tent, the yellow incense’s light shone on the young miss’s face, flickering with a gentle, watery luster, bright and beautiful to the point of being unparalleled, and the more he looked at the beauties under the lamp, the more refined he would be. The man and woman in the same tent would be able to hear each other’s breathing and heartbeats.

“Eldest Miss!” Chen Ling took the initiative to take the initiative.

Bai Ruoxi clenched her teeth, with a graceful expression, she coldly spoke: “Speak, what conditions do you need before you agree to cooperate with my Bai Family and send us through the Soul-Drop Slope, the Golden Jewels and the Meiji Mansion?”

Chen Ling laughed, and said in high spirits: “Young miss, you underestimate me, Chen Ling, do you think that I would care about these common things? There is a saying that gold has a price and a bosom friend has no price. Relying on the courage and responsibility of the young miss, as well as the fact that she is an important person in the Wei Nation, as the Lieutenant, Chen Ling has an obligation to help you guys get over this crisis! ”

Bai Ruoxi’s eyes flashed, and asked suspiciously: “Then why did you not express your opinion just now and let the other servants go?

Chen Ling said coolly: “I am not saying anything, because I do not plan to send three thousand guards to escort the caravan on the road and to send the other servants away, because I am worried that there are spies amongst them, even if there are none, I have no choice but to do so in order to be cautious, please forgive me, young miss.”

Bai Ruoxi’s eyes widened, and she scolded: “You don’t plan to send three thousand guards to escort my caravan, how can you still help? Are you kidding me? “It’s better for you to hurry up and state your conditions, don’t beat around the bush.”

Chen Ling shook his head: “Firstly, my three thousand guards are responsible for protecting the, and cannot create unnecessary troubles, so if anything happens, no one will be able to take responsibility, thus we cannot be involved, and have to separate ourselves from the caravan. Secondly, I plan to do something, not only will Bai Yeyu’s men not be able to ambush the Soul-Drop Slope, but will also have the initiative to attack, and at that time, we can take the initiative to eliminate these enemies, killing two birds with one stone.”

Bai Ruoxi was a little confused. She stared at Chen Ling, looking at his confident smile and the courage of the man, she could not help but be startled, and then said: “You mean to say, turning passivity into initiative, and luring them to attack? But, they occupy the advantageous position, and set up an ambush.

Chen Ling said as he smiled: “I will first dispatch over two thousand men to cross the valley, and pretend to go our separate ways. With Bai Yeyu’s target being you, I naturally do not dare to rashly attack Wei Army, and then, I will bring five hundred soldiers to ambush the forest, and with the merchant group setting up camp outside the valley, it won’t be too late. Bai Yeyu is worried that there will be new problems arising, and thus, he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity to ambush.
