When Ling Tian fell from the sky with a group of eagles, all the waiting Ling family members cheered.
Ling Tian fell, which was also a bit unexpected. At this time, the Ling family village was lit up with lights, just like a festival, lighting up the mountain.
It can be seen how happy they are from the bottom of their hearts for Ling Tian's return.
What made Mu Tiezhu and others dumbfounded even more was that the Ling family actually prepared a sumptuous flowing water banquet.
Wild boar, yellow-striped roe deer, golden pheasant, and all kinds of mountain game were made into delicious dishes. Together with fruit wine, firewood, and rice, dozens of tables were filled.
Although for the Ling family, this is a luxury that can only be enjoyed during the Yuan Festival and Spring Festival, but compared with Ziyun Sect, even the food for the outer sect's handyman disciples is far richer than these.
Not to mention the core disciples of the inner sect such as Mu Tiezhu. In addition to using elixirs to prevent grains during cultivation, their meals are low-level monsters and spirit grains prepared by the sect, all of which contain the energy of Yuanling.
of.
But facing the warm hospitality of the Ling family, all the disciples of Ziyun Sect also sat down happily. After all, Ling Tian was still there, and they did not dare to show any slights.
"Hey, this wild boar meat is so fragrant!"
Suddenly, Mu Tiedan, who was already hungry, grabbed a wild boar elbow and took a bite. He couldn't help but exclaimed, and then started to feast. Hearing this, the other disciples also tried to taste the dishes on the table, and their eyes were all wet.
Bright.
At the main seat, Ling Tian was sitting with Mr. Chu and Mu Tiezhu. Ling Wanli was accompanied by Ling Yun and the pretty girl holding a shou in front of him.
"Clan Chief Ling, I have been traveling across Kyushu for many years, and I have to say that this is the first time I have eaten such delicious golden chicken. I wonder, was it cooked by Kazuo?" Elder Chu said with a smile.
"Haha, as long as Brother Chu likes it, these dishes are all prepared by Xiao'er. She is the girl with the best cooking skills in our Ling family!" Ling Wanli smiled and looked at the girl beside him, full of love.
drown.
"Thank you, Elder Chu, for the compliment. Xiao'er's cooking is all done using local methods, which are not eye-catching." Ling Xiaoer's pretty face turned red.
"No, no, this taste is rare. Miss Xiaoer, there is no need to be modest!"
Ling Tian also smiled and said, "Since the wine and food are here, we might as well open up and eat today!"
The wooden iron pillar stroked his palm: "What a second!"
After a dinner party, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the Ziyun Sect disciples were arranged to rest.
Ling Tian, on the other hand, was in Ling Wanli's room, listening to him introduce the past of the Ling family in the past thirteen years.
"So, for more than ten years, the Ling family has relied on the mine behind to make a living?"
"Yes, it's mainly mining, and women and children are responsible for some farming."
Ling Tian frowned, the Ling family's embarrassment was far beyond his imagination.
Today, the Ling family has a population of nearly five hundred, and can only be regarded as a small village in Xiaofeng Town.
What feeds the entire Ling family is actually the seemingly desolate mountain range at the back. According to Ling Wanli, there is a map circulated by the Ling family, and this mountain is drawn on it. However, the children of the Ling family escaped from the war back then.
After arriving here, some spiritual stones were indeed dug out, but the output was not high. The crude ore was sold into the town, which could barely keep the people in the village from going hungry.
But even this mine is still remembered by people.
And because of this, Ling Yun was framed and tricked.
"Ling Yun, are you saying that the stone appreciation conference yesterday was organized by Yunding Commercial Bank?" Ling Tian suddenly looked at Ling Yun and asked.
Now Ling Tian's words, deeds, and gestures all carry a unique and extraordinary aura, which makes Ling Yun feel awe-inspiring.
h is the only one...,^ the others are all pirated copies
"That's right, 90% of the families in Xiaofeng Town make a living from mining. Among them, the Li family owns the most and the best mineral veins. And the biggest buyer is Yunding Trading Company. Over the years, each family has actually been unable to make ends meet.
He borrowed money from Genting Commercial Bank to make ends meet, so he is the biggest creditor."
Ling Yun pursed his lips and spoke slowly, clenching his fists involuntarily, "But, just the day before yesterday, Yunding Commercial Bank suddenly asked us to participate in the so-called Stone Appraisal Conference in the name of debt collection, saying that it would allow us to gamble on mines first.
, and then settle the accounts. If the bet is successful, the corresponding money and debt can be offset."
"We, the Ling family, didn't owe much debt originally, but they actually..."
Speaking of this, Ling Yun suddenly became excited and hesitated. Finally, he was overwhelmed by Ling Tian's momentum and blurted out: "They are eyeing Tan Birou!"
"The Tan family owes the most debt, so they can only gamble, but gambling on mines is not that easy. After several times, the debt becomes more and more, and they can't afford to pay it back. I just"
"Humph, you just rely on your half-hearted ability to bet with others!"
At this time, Ling Wanli suddenly slapped the table and said: "This is obviously his Yunding Commercial Bank's plan! If you still want to do this, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Grandpa" Ling Yun bit his lip.
"Wait a minute, who are you talking about targeting the Tan family, but the Li family?" Ling Tian asked again.
"That's right! It's the Li family. For so many years, the Li family has always had a close relationship with Yunding. The rough stones for this gambling mine are also from the Li family. Huh, the Li family's stone appraisal skills are far better than ours. They can bet
It's weird if you hit it!" Ling Wanli said angrily.
"I see, I understand."
At this point, Ling Tian finally understood.
The goal of the Li family was definitely not just for the Tan Birou of the Tan family. Presumably, they wanted to annex all the mines in Saofeng Town. However, Ling Tian was also surprised that Yunding Trading Company was involved.
"Ling Yun, there is nothing wrong with you standing up for your confidante. But you must not be impulsive in anything. You shoulder the responsibility of the entire Ling family!"
Ling Yun lowered his head, feeling very lonely and helpless, "Ling Yun knew he was wrong."
"You're right, you just don't have the strength. But fortunately, you still have the courage. I admire you very much." Ling Tian did not forget to encourage.
"Patriarch! Oh no, Yunding Commercial Bank sent someone over again, saying that the bill collection date has been advanced to tomorrow, making us understand that we must bring the money with us!"
At this time, a man from the Ling family hurried over and shouted outside the window.
"What! The accounts will be collected tomorrow, Yunding Commercial Bank must be crazy! How can we have money now!"
Ling Wanli frowned. Even though Ling Tian was now back in splendid clothes, he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Grandpa, this is what happened. I will go to Genting tomorrow and I will find a way to repay the money!" Ling Yun suddenly raised his head and said resolutely.
Ling Tian stood up, patted Ling Yun on the shoulder, smiled lightly and said, "Well said!"
"Tomorrow, I will go with you."
"I want to see what Yunding Commercial Bank can do to my Ling family."
