Chapter 09: Choice

Ling Feng knew that his eldest brother was a martial arts idiot, he had always been extremely obsessed with martial arts, and once he saw a powerful exercise, he couldn't put it down, and when he saw his obsessive look at this moment, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Okay, when I finish dealing with these things in the family, I will teach you after a while!"

"Okay!" Ling Luo rubbed his hands excitedly, and said in his heart, "Since those exercises can make Brother Feng become an innate master at the age of eighteen, the power must be very powerful, if I learn it, my strength will definitely increase, maybe I can be as powerful as Brother Feng!"

Seeing Ling Luo's happily dancing hands, the corners of Ling Feng's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled with satisfaction.

......

The lobby of the Ling family is the place where the Ling family deals with family affairs and receives VIPs, and the area is extremely spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people.

Ling Xiao, Ling Luo, Ling Feng, father and son had just walked into the lobby of the Ling family, and it happened that a family member came over, and after seeing Ling Xiao, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Patriarch, the Qingye City Lord just came over and said that he had something important to do with you." ”

"Well, wasn't he also seriously injured last night, what are you doing now?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly, a little unable to guess the purpose of Aoba here.

"Okay, got it, you go down. Nodding slightly, he retreated from the family, Ling Xiao saw Qingye sitting on the chair at a glance, couldn't help suppressing the doubts in his heart, stepped forward quickly, and said with a loud smile: "Qingcheng Lord, the Ling family suffered a big change last night, and it almost affected you, I'm really sorry!"

Hearing Ling Xiao's voice, Aoba turned his head to look over, stood upright, stroked his beard and smiled: "Patriarch Ling is too polite, it should be the old man who thanked your son for saving his life last night! If it weren't for his last effort to turn the tide, the old man would have died a long time ago!"

"Qingcheng Lord doesn't have to be polite, please sit down!" Ling Xiao smiled and asked Qingye to sit down, and instructed the maid on the side, "Hurry up and serve tea to Qingcheng Lord!"

"Yes!" Bowing slightly, the servant girl stepped back, and after a while, she brought four cups of fragrant hot tea.

"When I went back last night, I mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city overnight, ready to encircle and suppress the Wang family, a group of bold and reckless villains, but I didn't expect it, alas, alas," Aoba said this, sighed, and his face was full ......of regret.

Seeing Aoye's stunned expression, Ling Xiao glanced sideways at Ling Luo, then at Ling Feng, the father and son looked at each other and smiled knowingly, and then said lightly: "But I didn't expect it to be a pounce, and the other party would have already fled, right?"

"How could Patriarch Ling know that the other party had already run away?

"The other party has sent so many strong people to attack us, it must have been planned for a long time, and it is reasonable to transfer the clansmen in advance. After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he slowly tasted the refreshing fragrant tea in the cup, and with a thick fragrance entering his nose, he suddenly felt refreshed.

"The Ling family suffered this change, Ling Xiao didn't mess up, he still looked so indifferent, he deserves to be the head of the clan, and he has the city in his chest!" Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Aoba secretly praised in his heart, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the Ling patriarch has long expected the other party to escape! No wonder you are all so calm and didn't go to the Wang family to take revenge! But then again, it's a pity that you couldn't catch these bastards!"

"I, Ling Xiao, ask myself, if I am not a humble gentleman, our Ling family will remember last night's blood feud, and there will always be a day when they will make their Wang family repay it several times!" Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ling Xiao said lightly, but the faint murderous aura in his words made Qingye feel a chill in his heart.

A tiger with sharp claws will make people feel awe, but not only a tiger with sharp claws, but also a tiger that knows how to keep a good eye will make people frightened and even more fearful!

And Ling Xiao in front of him is a dangerous "smiling tiger"!

"These three fathers and sons, none of them are simple! Fortunately, I am friends with them, otherwise it would be a headache. A pair of seemingly cloudy, shrewd eyes swept over Ling Xiao's father and son without a trace, and Aoba secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Patriarch Ling, the old man has taken the liberty to come here this time, in fact, he has a great good thing to tell you!" Aoba showed a smile on his face and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, a great thing, please also ask the Qingcheng Lord to make it clear, Ling is willing to listen to it!" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with interest.

"That's right, just now I have sent someone to hurry up and report last night's incident to my Eastern Jin Dynasty Emperor in detail, your Ling family has saved several important officials of the imperial court, this is a great achievement. In addition, your Ling family has always contributed a lot to my Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the most important point is that your Ling family also has a young congenital powerhouse, and the royal family will definitely recruit it! You just wait for the addition of officials to the knighthood, if you are lucky, you may be able to make a marquis and pay homage to the general!" Qingye said endlessly.

Qingcheng's words were serious. Our Ling family is also well-known in Pingyang City, but if we look at the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is nothing, how can we be favored by the royal family!" Ling Xiao said.

"To be honest, it was really difficult for your Ling family to enter the eyes of the royal family before, but after a bloody battle last night, the situation is very different!" Aoba wisped his white beard, his eyes fell on Ling Feng, who was sitting next to Ling Xiao, and said frankly, "In the Lingwu Continent, strength is respected. The old man is not talented, he is just an acquired nine-fold martial artist, and he can become the city lord of Pingyang City. But your Ling family has produced a genius boy who is only eighteen years old and has become a congenital powerhouse, and his future is limitless, such a strong man is exactly what the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family wants to recruit!"

"And Duan Yi, the general of Zhenxi who was saved by Ling Feng Gongzi last night, is my favorite nephew of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Your son's strength is strong, and he has made such great achievements, it is difficult not to be rewarded!"

At first, Ling Xiao thought that Aoba's words were just flattering words, and it was impossible for the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family to look at a small family like himself, so he didn't care about his words and didn't take them to heart.

But now listening to Aoye's eloquent words, what he said was the truth, Rao is Ling Xiao tried his best to suppress it, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart, and Ling Luo's eyes on the side also exuded bursts of brilliance, and his face was full of excitement.

In the same way that the mother values the son, if Ling Feng can be valued by the royal family and promoted, then the status of the Ling family will definitely skyrocket, much higher than now!

After all, although the current Ling family is also one of the best families in Pingyang City, in terms of real strength, it is only at the end of the second-rate family, if it can be rewarded by the royal family, then the family's status will definitely be able to leap up, and even rank among the first-class families!

Being able to make the family strong and become a first-class family is the result that Ling Xiao hopes to see the most as the head of the family! It is also the goal that the family has been striving for for several generations!

And the goal that everyone has been fighting for for many years is about to become a reality because of Ling Feng's battle last night!

The sudden joy had to make Ling Xiao excited, and his eyes were full of relief when he looked at Ling Feng.

But unlike Ling Xiao and Ling Luo's joy, Ling Feng was expressionless at the moment, his face was silent, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

"Your Ling family is waiting for Ling Feng to be rewarded, and then let's be promoted together!Okay, I've already brought the words, and the old man will leave!" Seeing Ling Xiao's unconcealable excitement, Aoba smiled, stood up, and said goodbye.

"It's really Lord Lao!" Ling Xiao also hurriedly got up, with a smile on his face, and said to Ling Luo and Ling Feng at the same time, "You guys send the Qingcheng Lord out with me." ”

Ling Luo and Ling Feng followed closely behind Ling Xiao and walked out with Aoba. The group walked out with laughter and greetings all the way.

Walking to the gate of the Ling family, Qingye paused, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and said in surprise: "The old man remembers that the Ling patriarch was seriously injured last night, and today he is as good as if he was unharmed, could it be that there is any panacea in the clan?"

"Haha, don't hide it from the Qingcheng Lord, it was the child who helped me heal my injuries, so that I could get better so quickly. Ling Xiao was in a good mood, pointed to Ling Feng behind him, and laughed loudly.

"Oh?" glanced at Ling Feng in shock, Qingye's eyes rolled slightly, a fine light flashed, and he turned back to Ling Xiao and praised, "Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, congratulations to Patriarch Ling for giving birth to a good son, it's really enviable!"

"The city lord has won the prize!" Ling Xiao arched.

Seeing Qingye sit in the sedan chair and stay away, Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced at Ling Feng solemnly, and asked, "What do you think about the royal family's recruitment of you?"

Hearing this, Ling Feng frowned and fell into deep thought. In fact, he had already guessed that his sudden outburst last night would definitely attract the attention of various powerful forces, but he didn't expect this "attention" to come so quickly!

If he accepted the royal family's reward, then he would definitely pull the Ling family into a deeper and more difficult pool, and all kinds of dangers would inevitably follow, and his relatives would be more dangerous, which was the result that Ling Feng did not want to see.

But if he refuses, it will be disrespecting the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and despising the imperial power, and when the time comes, when the emperor is angry, it will definitely bring disaster to the entire Ling family, which is also the result that Ling Feng does not want to see.

The two paths, no matter which one you take, are full of challenges for Ling Feng!

But now Ling Feng's best choice is: accept the reward!

At least for now, he doesn't have the strength to dare to shout with the royal family!

And if you cower in Binh Duong City, can you guarantee the safety of your loved ones?

In the previous life, the tragic destruction of the Ling family is a good counterexample, without enough strength, no matter where you are, you may face a crisis, and you can only let others dictate your fate!

Only the strong can control their own destiny!

And if you want to make yourself stronger, the best way is to face more crises, and then eliminate them one by one, step by step to the peak of the strong!

"Although after entering the Imperial City, you will face more powerful people, which is much more dangerous than Pingyang City, but for the Ling family and me, this is also an opportunity for growth, which is a good thing, isn't it?" Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a determined light, and with a smile on his face, he asked Ling Xiao rhetorically.

Hearing Ling Feng's answer, Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said with great ambition: "That's right! It's a good boy of my Ling family, so you should puff up your chest, face challenges, and not be afraid!"
