Chapter 4 Men should be self-reliant
"Let's go back first. ”
Ling Xian knew that this matter was far from over, and soon the Chen family would take revenge frantically, and he had to take precautions, he would not push the Ling family into the volcano because of impulse.
Ling Xian's prestige was extremely high now, and the clan elders had no objection to this decision, so the group of people quickly returned to the mansion.
......
Lingjiabao is as magnificent as ever, but there are people gathered in front of the door, and the black pressure is very eye-catching, but the most conspicuous is the third uncle lying on the stretcher.
"The patriarch is back. ”
"Brother Xian'er is back. ”
......
Seeing their figures, the clansmen began to stir, some feared, some frightened, but there were also many young children, clenched their fists, and looked excited.
Obviously, the news has reached here, no wonder the clansmen will suffer from the horror of gains and losses, the Ling family has not been so proud for many years, it is a person, it will be bloody.
can think of the bad relationship with the Chen family, the other party's possible next revenge, some clan elders began to beat the drum in their hearts again, not because they were timid and cowardly, but because the Ling family had been silent for too long.
Accustomed to forbearance, accustomed to withdrawing.
Ling Xian's strong performance made them a little confused, not knowing whether it was right or wrong.
Ling Xian's gaze swept over, and he had already taken into account everyone's expressions.
He didn't back down.
As the head of a clan, he should have a calm bearing, and he will bear the trouble by himself, not to mention that he does not feel that he is wrong from beginning to end today.
Blindly forbearance can't get the mercy of the other party, respect is built on the basis of strength, and you don't even have the courage to resist, so you can naturally be bullied.
And the Ling family he wants is definitely not like this.
"Third uncle!"
"Brother Xian, I heard ......"
Ling Tianxiong struggled to prop up his body, the bandages on his chest were covered with bloodstains, the other party's sneak attack was extremely vicious, and the wound was no more than an inch away from his heart.
"Well, the kid of the Chen family, I have already taught a lesson, and I have already avenged you for the third uncle. Ling Xian said flatly.
Ling Xian helped Ling Tianxiong to lie down, although the third uncle was a little timid, he did his best for the family, and he also loved and took care of himself very much, he was a good elder.
He took a few steps forward, jumped onto a large stone at the door, turned his head, and suddenly, the eyes of all the clansmen were focused on him.
"Uncles, brothers and sisters. ”
Ling Xian made a gesture at the crowd: "Ling was ordered to take over as the patriarch in danger, there are some things that should not be said, but he is not unhappy. ”
"Think of my ancestor of the Ling family, what kind of scenery he once had, under one person, above ten thousand, he was named a prince with a different surname by Taizu, hereditary replacement, the name of the chivalrous king, who in the martial arts does not admire?"
"At that time, my Ling family had the reputation of the first family in the martial arts, at that time, the disciples of my Ling family went out, which one was not freshly dressed and angry, arrogant and high-spirited......"
"At that time, my Ling family married countless royal princesses, and the eighth generation of my Ling family, not only his wife was the eldest princess, but the rest of the concubines, one by one, were also golden branches and jade leaves. ”
"At that time, any disciple of my Ling family, even if he couldn't practice martial arts, he was born, and there were countless glory and wealth, countless talented women, chivalrous women, and peerless beauties who wanted to marry him......"
"The daughter of my Ling family is as noble as a princess......"
Ling Xian's voice echoed in the crowd, and everyone's faces also showed yearning, although the Ling family had long since declined, no one would forget the glory of their ancestors.
The deeds of the Ling family are full of anger, and the disciples present are familiar with it, but usually, everyone can only think about it, but now, Ling Xian is pronounced above the mouth.
Everyone's eyes are bright.
Yes, what a beautiful scenery the Ling family was at that time, who would have thought that it would be reduced to what it is today.
It can only be said that the world is impermanent!
And Ling Xian's voice was still echoing in his ears, but as soon as the words changed, his tone became painful: "But let's see, our Ling family, what it looks like now, we can't eat, we don't know the taste of meat in March, we are bullied arbitrarily by a first- and third-rate small family, our descendants disdain, and we insult our ancestors. ”
"The descendants are disdainful and insulting to the ancestors!"
When many of the Ling clan's disciples heard this, they all cried bitterly, their lips clenched, allowing the blood to slide down, and some knelt on the ground and smashed their fists to the ground.
Rumble!
Dusty and doesn't care about fist injuries at all.
It was those clan elders, one by two, who also showed excitement on their faces.
Comparing the two sides, how can their mood be calm?
"The patriarch is right, we can't be cowardly. ”
"The ancestors must not be disgraced. ”
"The eldest husband Ma Ge shrouded his body, it's a big deal to die in battle, what are you afraid of the Chen family. ”
"Fight with them. ”
"Yes, fight. ”
......
For a while, the mood was turbulent and morale was high.
A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xian's mouth, this was exactly what he wanted.
The reason why the Ling family has declined is not only the loss of force, but also the lack of heart, just like a person's ambition is exhausted, do you still expect him to be able to do great things?
The principle is the same!
Therefore, he first had to ignite the morale of the Ling family and restore his arrogance.
"Patriarch, you say, what to do. ”
"We all listen to you. ”
......
With these words, Ling Xian's prestige also reached a new height, and at this time, he had been recognized, and the clan, regardless of men, women, and children, regarded him as the backbone.
"It's good for everyone to have this ambition, but they can't fight hard. ”
Speaking of this, a disdainful smile appeared on Ling Xian's face: "The little Chen family, it's not worth giving my Ling family shoes, it's too cheap to fight with them." ”
"Patriarch, what should we do?"
Originally, after this encouragement, the morale of the clan was already high, and everyone was gearing up to fight with the Chen family, even if it was a horse leather shroud, it was better than the foolish work of stealing a living.
But listening to the words of the patriarch, he didn't take the Chen family into account at all, did he have a way to survive the crisis?
Everyone is very surprised in their hearts, you must know that the Ling family has scattered talents, and the strongest master is the third uncle of the Great Elder, who is only at the third level of the body refining period, and although the Chen family is a third-rate family, there are several masters of the fourth layer of the body refining period, and the difference in strength between the two sides is huge.
The people of the Ling family have backbone, and with the courage of blood and blood, they can fight hard with the Chen family, but if you want to talk about this victory, there is no suspense at all, but the tone of the patriarch does not put the other party in his eyes at all, what good idea does he have?
For a while, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ling Xian.
Ling Xian continued to serve as the clan leader at a young age, and it was originally difficult to convince the public, but at this moment, he became the backbone of everyone.
Prestige to an awe-inspiring level.
"Big brother has a queen, big brother has a queen!"
Ling Tianxiong was lying on the stretcher, with tears in his eyes, the Ling family was not only declining, but also the number of people was gradually thinning, there was only one Ling Xian in the long room, and now seeing him out, Ling Tianxiong was also happy in his heart.
At the same time, he secretly vowed that he must assist his nephew well, revitalize the family, and regain the glory of his ancestors.
"Patriarch, if you have any ideas, just say it, even if we fight to the death, we will do it. ”
"Yes, Patriarch, we all listen to you. ”
"Third uncle, if I remember correctly, my Ling family should still have the Iron Scroll Danshu given by Emperor Taizu. Seeing that people's hearts were available, Ling Xian was not complacent, but spoke very calmly.
"Iron Coupon Pill Book?"
Ling Tianxiong was stunned, and several clan elders also fell into thought.
"Yes, there is such a treasure. It was not the third uncle who spoke, but a middle-aged man, this person's name was Ling Tianbao, the logistics manager, and Ling Xian's uncle.
The logistics manager of every family is short of fat, except for the Ling family, the backward family is too poor, not only has no oil and water, every grain of rice, every foot of cloth must be carefully calculated, otherwise the clansmen will starve.
Ling Tianbao also practiced martial arts back then, but after taking charge of logistics, all his energy was dedicated to the family, and he was only in his early forties, and his temples were already gray.
He was once Ling Xian's father's most trusted figure.
"Not only the Iron Coupon Danshu, but also the Shang Fang Sword given by Taizu. Ling Tianbao pondered and said, but he didn't understand what these things were for.
The Ling family was convicted and demoted, although the title Danshu given by Taizu was not withdrawn, but the power has long been a thing of the past, these things have been lying in the treasure house for thousands of years, after all, they have lost the trust of the royal family, are these things still useful?
"It works, why doesn't it work?"
Ling Xian's expression couldn't laugh or cry, when the Ling family was in the limelight, naturally there was no need for the Iron Coupon Danshu, at that time, the children of the family walked sideways, and no one dared to provoke it, and then it declined, and was disgusted by the royal family, and no one would think of these things.
But Ling Xian knew that it was useful, after all, it was given by Taizu, even if the current royal family did not approve of it, would the little Chen family dare to despise the dignity of Emperor Taizu?
Pull up the tiger skin as a banner, these things are enough to protect the Ling family through the current crisis.
"Well, Brother Xian'er has a good point. ”
"As the head of the clan, seeing is different. ”
......
After listening to Ling Xian's analysis, the clansmen were amazed, and they suddenly became enlightened, how could they not think of this, and they admired Ling Xian even more.
Five-body throw!
Ling Tianbao's excited voice came into his ears: "The patriarch is right, although my Ling family has declined, the things on the ancestors are still preserved, in addition to the Shang Fang sword, the iron coupon pill book, and the robes of the chivalrous king, the honor guard is also there." ”
"Great, take them all out, this score, the more you put it in, the more it can deter the Chen family. ”
"Yes, Patriarch. ”
Ling Tianbao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered a few people to go to the treasure house with him.
"Everyone else is scattered, what should I do, don't let the little Chen family underestimate my Ling family. ”
"Yes, Patriarch. ”
Although everyone in the Ling family was still a little excited and nervous, Ling Xian's current prestige was unparalleled for a while, and no one raised any objections, so they retreated one after another.
"Da Niu, Ling Feng, you find a few clever disciples, go out to find information, remember not to startle the snake, if you have any news, come back and tell me quickly." ”
Of course, Ling Xian would not really regard the Chen family as nothing, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the necessary preparations still had to be made.
"Yes!"
The two teenagers hugged their fists at Ling Xian: "You guys come with me." ”
With a few core disciples who practiced martial arts, he ran towards the path.
