Volume Four: The Battle in the Imperial City Chapter 04: The Huge Looted Treasure
In the lobby of the Ling family. 26nbsp;
"Why hasn't Ling Lang come back?" Tang Yan was sitting on the seat, her beautiful eyes were full of concern, and she looked up at the door from time to time, looking very anxious.
In the upper seat of the head of the family, Ling Xiao looked calm on the surface, but he was also uneasy in his heart. From time to time, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Beside Ling Xiao, the three elders of the Ling family and a group of high-level officials also had twinkling eyes, their faces full of worry.
The atmosphere in the lobby is very depressing and dull.
When the pretty maid at the side changed Ling Xiao's tea for the ninth time——
"rustle!"
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and a figure that everyone in the Ling family in the lobby was looking forward to walked in quickly.
"Ling Lang!"
Seeing the familiar figure in front of her, Tang Yan blinked her slender eyelashes, and a happy smile appeared on her face. The stone hanging in Ling Xiao's heart finally fell to the ground, and he looked at Ling Feng with a smile. The eyes of the rest of the Ling family also brightened.
Looking up and seeing everyone's concerned eyes, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile, walked to the seat beside Ling Xiao and sat down. Now Ling Feng has long been recognized by the clan as the leader of the patriarch, so his seat is naturally arranged next to the seat of Patriarch Ling Xiao.
"Father, the Dali Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty are attacking fiercely, and they should hit Longyuan City in a short time. My teacher and I have promised the Holy Master to help guard Longyuan City, so we are going to retreat immediately, before the enemy hits here Try to improve your strength before, so that you can have more confidence in guarding Longyuan City." Ling Feng turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and said straight to the point.
"Okay! I'll have someone prepare food, water and other necessities for you to retreat immediately." Ling Xiao nodded. He understood that the biggest reason why Ling Feng agreed to help Xue Hongze guard Longyuan City was to protect his clansmen. The Dynasty and the Ling family's feud Wang family, Ling Feng will naturally take this opportunity to find a way to deal with, and even wipe out the Wang family!
While Ling Feng and Ling Xiao were talking, a guard ran in anxiously, bowed to Ling Xiao and the others, and reported: "Patriarch, the Mo family just sent a message saying that if we can't provide the building materials in time If the remaining cost of the weapon is not enough, they will stop making weapons for us!"
"What!" Ling Xiao was startled, his brows furrowed.
In order to cope with the upcoming Longyuan City battle, the Ling family has been constantly recruiting troops to expand their strength. With a large number of soldiers and horses, it is natural to buy weapons, but the Ling family has spent a lot of money on recruiting warriors, and there is no extra spare money to buy enough weapons at this moment.
"Didn't we just get 20 million silver from Yangliu, Han and Xu's family some time ago? Isn't that much money enough to buy weapons?" Ling Feng looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.
Hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Xiao smiled helplessly and shook his head slowly.
The Great Elder on the side also curled his lips, and said to Ling Feng: "Feng'er, you don't know that oil and salt are expensive if you are not in charge. Now at a critical juncture, our Ling family also urgently needs to expand its strength. In order to recruit warriors, we have already spent a lot of money. Funds, the 20 million silver are running low, and now we don't have enough money to buy the weapons of the Mohists."
The second and third elders on the side looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"If it really doesn't work, we'll buy fewer weapons, or reduce the quality of the weapons. In short, we must make all the weapons before the Dali Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty attack Longyuan City!" The second elder sighed. With a sigh of relief, he looked at Ling Xiao.
"Yes, having weapons is better than not having one!" The third elder nodded.
As the saying goes, is a penny a hero? At this moment, although Ling Xiao knows what it means to reduce the quality of weapons, he suffers from not having enough funds to build good weapons.
Just when Ling Xiao pondered for a while, and was about to nod and agree to reduce the quality of weapons——
Ling Feng on the side suddenly said, "Father, the quality of weapons must not drop!"
Ling Feng knew in his heart that a good weapon would not only allow a warrior to display stronger strength in a battle, but at critical moments, the quality of the weapon could even determine the life and death of a warrior!
"I still have some money here, maybe it can solve the urgent need of our Ling family." Ling Feng looked at Ling Xiao and said.
"Feng'er, buying a lot of high-quality weapons requires a lot of money, and it can't be solved by a few hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands of silver." The elder looked at Ling Feng. In his opinion, although Ling Feng is the son of the patriarch, he must have accumulated funds ranging from a few hundred thousand silver to nearly a million silver over the years. This money may be a lot of money for an individual, but it is not even one-tenth of the total price of the weapons purchased this time!
The rest of the Ling family also looked at Ling Feng helplessly. No one believed that Ling Feng would be able to provide enough silver to help the Ling family pay the cost of building weapons. Even Ling Xiao, who was on the side, had twinkling eyes, not sure. He looked at Ling Feng.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ling Feng naturally guessed the doubts in their hearts, couldn't help but smile, and directly reached out and wiped lightly on the ring on his finger.
Immediately, box after box of gold, silver and jewelry appeared in the Ling family hall one after another, and almost in an instant, the entire Ling family hall was filled!
"This, this, unexpectedly..."
"A lot of gold, silver and jewels!"
"Almost the entire lobby is filled, this must be at least tens of millions of taels of silver!"
Dazzled by the glittering gold and dazzling jewelry in front of them, everyone in the Ling family involuntarily narrowed their eyes slightly, their faces full of surprise, and many of them swallowed their saliva repeatedly, suppressing the shock in their hearts.
Not to mention everyone in the Ling family, even the three elders and Ling Xiao were shocked by the scene in front of them.
At this moment, the wealth displayed in front of their eyes is even much more than the Ling family's treasure house accumulated over the years!
"How much space is there in Ling Lang's ring? It can accommodate so much gold and silver treasures in addition to my Tang family's supplies!" While others were amazed by the huge wealth that suddenly appeared in front of them, Tang Yan But his shocked eyes fell on Ling Feng's right hand.
"Feng'er, why do you have so many treasures? Where did all these treasures come from?" Ling Xiao took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his excitement, but his voice was still trembling slightly.
"These are the savings of the other big families in Pingyang City that were robbed by the army of the Dali Dynasty. When I rescued Yan'er and my father-in-law, I snatched them back from the army of the Dali Dynasty." Ling Feng smiled lightly. road. Even he himself didn't expect that the treasure he looted during the chaos would come in handy so quickly to help the family solve the problem.
"It was snatched from the army of the Dali Dynasty!"
Everyone in the Ling family gasped involuntarily. Although Ling Feng said it lightly, they knew that it would be difficult for even a great innate warrior to rush out from an army of tens of thousands. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to snatch so many treasures from an army of tens of thousands? Disaster?
"Haha, okay, with so much property, we can not only pay the Mo family for building weapons, but also let them provide us with better weapons!" Ling Xiao was in a good mood, looked at Ling Feng, and was straightforward laughed out loud.
Hearing this, the three elders beside Ling Xiao and everyone in the Ling family also showed smiles all over their faces.
