Chapter Seventy-Three: Father and Son Love
On the way back, Old Man Ling was so depressed that he couldn't ride a horse. I had to get into the carriage too. Ling Tian knew that although this move had completely eliminated the hidden dangers of the Ling family, it had also greatly hurt the old man's heart! You must know that although Ling Zhan did not have much scheming in his life, he had always treated people with sincerity, his surname was upright, and he valued affection and righteousness! A considerable number of the people he dealt with today were actually brothers and sisters who had been brought up by the old man for many years; in particular, Ling Kong was the righteous son that Ling Zhan relied on the most; the intimacy of the relationship was self-evident! The betrayal of these people really dealt a heavy blow to Ling Zhan, an old man! It is still undecided when he will be able to recover his original mood, or whether he can recover or not!
Ling Tian's father and son rode forward side by side, both worried about the old man's body in their hearts, and were silent.
"Father, what do you think should be done with the families of this group of people?" the wildfires are inexhaustible...... Ling Tian finally took the lead in breaking the silence. At this time, although he already had a plan in his heart, his father was by his side, but he couldn't ignore his face.
Ling Xiao's burly body sat on the horse, and his eyes looked at his son with complicated eyes: "Needless to say, I understand this truth! You can look at this matter and deal with it, you don't need to ask me." Didn't your grandfather already put all the power of the Ling family in your hands just now?"
After the traitor was dealt with, Old Man Ling Zhan discussed with Old Madam Ling for a while, and then suddenly announced that all matters of the Ling family would be handled by his grandson Ling Tian in the future, in other words, it was equivalent to having agreed to the position of Ling Tian's family master, but there was still a lack of a formal ceremony. Ling Zhan and his family seemed to be resting for a while.
The strange thing is that when Ling Zhan announced this matter, he didn't discuss it with his son and daughter-in-law in advance, and made a decision directly, and he didn't give any explanation afterwards, and even stipulated that no one was allowed to interfere with Ling Tian's decision-making on the family! The implication is very clear, except for the two old people in the Ling Mansion, only Ling Xiao and his wife can interfere with Ling Tian, and Ling Tian's mother, Chu Ting'er, said that she would not do anything against her son, so Old Man Ling's words were actually just said to Ling Xiao alone!
Of course, Ling Tian understood what this meant. All of Ling Tian's actions, especially when he hadn't hidden them from his family recently, Ling Zhan and his wife and Ling Xiao and his wife had already discovered Ling Tian's hidden huge ambition! Of course, this was done by Ling Tian on purpose, lest everything in the future be too sudden and even more unacceptable to his family.
However, Ling Tian's ambition and his father Ling Xiao's loyalty to the Chengtian Imperial Family were obvious opposites! If Ling Tian takes action in the future, if Ling Xiao makes a constraint, then it will be a big deal. Therefore, under judging the situation and sizing up the situation, Old Man Ling and his wife resolutely issued such an order that seemed unbelievable to outsiders!
Ling Tian seemed to have some anger in his father's tone at this moment, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Father, no matter how you say that the child is also your son, how can a son not ask his father when something happens?"
Ling Xiao's face was like sinking water, and he suddenly turned his head from the horse, his eyes were staring at his son, his eyes were complicated and painful, and he said slowly: "Actually, eight years ago, when the Lingfu Courtyard was just built, my father wanted to send 30,000 iron horsemen to directly set foot on the Lingfu Courtyard! and then put you under house arrest for life!" No matter how you choose, I can only choose to support, not oppose, if even I am hostile to you, how can you deal with yourself?!"
Ling Tian's heart was greatly shocked! Seeing that his father, who was extremely rough in appearance, had such a delicate mind and such a sentimental side, he couldn't help but feel a churn in his heart, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
If my father had really chosen this way, what would have happened to me......? The sound of hooves was heard, and the horse continued to move forward, and the conversation between father and son was extremely low, naturally drowned out in the noisy sound. Ling Xiao whispered slowly, but a thunderclap sounded in Ling Tian's heart!
"Although my father is a rough man, after all, he has experienced a hundred battles, and he has been in the military camp all his life. Ling Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can't see anything else, but what kind of special place is the Ling Mansion Courtyard, who are the people in it, what is such a big venue for? What is the use? Or what can it be trained, as an old soldier who has gone back and forth dozens of times between life and death, it can still be distinguished at a glance!"
"Then father, why are you ......." Ling Tian wanted to speak again.
Ling Xiao ignored him, looked at the billowing smoke and dust in front of him with a somewhat blank expression, and said in a low voice: "So in the past eight years, my father has only been to the Ling Mansion Courtyard twice, and each time he has brought a large number of officers; That's why every time I reprimand you, I always make a fuss in front of a large number of outsiders......!"
As he spoke, Ling Xiao looked at Ling Tian quietly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "It's not so easy to do. In the past few years, I know that you are pretending to be tired, in fact, it is quite tiring to be a father, you pretend to be yours, and I also pretend to be mine. ”
Ling Tian suddenly felt that his nostrils seemed to be blocked, his eyes seemed to be in the dust, and his throat was choked, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm suddenly appeared in his throat, blocking his throat, unable to cough out, and unable to say a word...... But a sour and bitter happiness suddenly surged in his heart...... Originally...... This rough father, this man who looks extremely rude, not only knows what he is doing and wants to do, but has always been silently cooperating with himself in his own way, silently protecting himself in his own way!
He can't say all of this yet, even with his wife. Because he knows what kind of risk it is, and he buries all his secrets, worries and fears about his son deep in his own heart! With the heart of a man, he bears this boundless pressure alone!
How on earth did such a thick-lined man do all this?!
For the first time, Ling Tian in this world had a deep affection for his rough father for the first time, it was a real father-son relationship!
Rao is Ling Tian already had the experience of being a human being in two lifetimes, and at this moment, he actually had the urge to throw himself into his father's arms and cry loudly!
"In fact, over the years, my father really wants to hug his son again like you did when you were a child, hug my son who is proud of him in his heart but has never been angry with him. Ling Xiao said abruptly.
"Father!" Ling Tian couldn't hold back any longer, tears slowly flowing down his eyes.
"Hehehe......" Ling Xiao laughed, but there were clearly tears flashing in his eyes: "Manly man, what do you look like when you cry?"
Ling Tian hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and Hao Ran, who was embarrassed, lowered his head and smiled. The heart is warm and indescribably useful. Suddenly understood, even though he had gone through two lives, in front of his biological parents, he was still a child, and Ling Tian liked and enjoyed this feeling very much.
"Nineteen, they're all your people, right?" Ling Xiao seemed to feel a little embarrassed to cry in front of his son, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Yes. Ling Tiandao.
"They're all very good!," Ling Xiao said with relief. "All these years, without them, I am afraid that the father will ...... Alas, it was just the children who suffered. Ling Xiao looked at Ling Tian with warm eyes: "You have this intention, I am very satisfied." Your ability, intelligence, and talent are all a hundred times better than your father, grandpa, he handed over the Ling family to you, and you are very relieved to be your father!" said with a heartfelt smile.
"I'm very satisfied that you have this heart...... Grandpa, he handed over the Ling family to you, and he is very relieved for his father!. These words suddenly set off a monstrous wave in Ling Tian's heart!
He has been hiding from his father for more than ten years! He has avoided him for everything, and even has a lot of contempt in his heart. And his father, who has protected himself in obscurity for more than ten years, and now, because he has arranged a few master guards around him, this is really a trivial thing for Ling Xiao, who is already under the heavy protection of the army, but he actually said: "I am very satisfied!!" And looking at his demeanor, it seems that he feels his son's filial piety from these guards, and he is extremely happy!
Pity the hearts of parents in the world!
Ling Xiao laughed, clamped his legs, and walked forward, and his words came from the smoke and dust: "You are in charge of those people's family affairs." Kill or even subdue, it's all up to you, but if you want to ask my opinion, I still think that there are too many variables in the world, and it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and although the father is not very shrewd, he still understands such a simple truth. "It is worthy of the old soldier who came from the smoke of the beacon fire, and his style of doing things is ruthless. This suggestion really coincided with Ling Tian's plan.
Ling Tian involuntarily stood on his horse, looking at his father's majestic back looming in the smoke and dust, and couldn't help but be stunned.
