Ling Jian also flushed red as he tried not to laugh, and glared at Ling Chi, he shouted, “Behah!” As if he had obtained an amnesty, Ling Chi disappeared in an instant, and from the outside came a loud laughter.

Ling Tian glared at Ling Jian angrily, then looked back and turned his attention to the other hooded man, smiling as he greeted, “May I know who you are?”

How clever was Ling Tian? He had long seen the fact that even though Han TieXuan had appeared, the person in charge of the discussion today was not him! This could be seen from the fear in his eyes whenever he glanced at the person beside him. Could Western Han not be led by Han TieXuan?

Who was this guy at that time?!

He should have been someone Ling Tian had to keep an eye on!

The man only chuckled slightly before taking off his hood. In a clear voice, he spoke, “Young master Ling is indeed amazing, but I am not a nobody who does not deserve the attention of young noble Ling.”

When his coat was removed, a middle-aged man with a scientific expression on his face appeared. His sharp gaze immediately gave Ling Tian the impression that he had never met him before, but surprisingly also gave him a feeling as if he had met someone similar. Eyes looked at him with a hint of admiration and respect, and while Ling Tian was unaware of what made him think that way, his tone also became more friendly as he spoke, “Master and General Han, respectively, please sit down first. Guys, bring tea!”

The tea had just been served and Han TieXuan's fan-like hand immediately shot forward, grabbed it and sent it to his mouth. Obviously, the trip here made him very thirsty. However, he was interrupted by a somewhat breathless voice, which sounded like a broken bell that was still being continuously hammered. “Wahaha, I actually heard that my dear godson is coming to surrender. Huehuehuehue, what a filial son, this old man has no choice but to come out and show my face as a thank you...hmm wait, did you guys really lie to me?” In the last part, the speaker voiced his suspicions as well.

Han TieXuan's face immediately turned into a dazzling purple color as he slammed the teacup he had just brought into his mouth onto the floor. He suddenly stood up, his arms akimbo as he shouted, “Li XiangDong, you pig! Your father Han is already here, but why don't I see your face?”

There was an exclamation, as if the original speaker was surprised, followed by hasty footsteps, and two soldiers appeared carrying stretchers. Li XiangDong was wrapped like a mummy, lying on a stretcher as if he was half dead. While his eyes were tightly closed, his mouth was clearly not the same. “This old man seems to have really heard my granddaughter salute me; don't tell me that unfilial item really came? Since when was his courage so great, whose influence did he rely on?”

Han TieXuan walked scathingly in front of the palanquin, his saliva fluttering everywhere as he blabbed, “Open your dog's eyes, Li XiangDong, your father Han is standing in front of you! Huh huh? Look at you, wrapped up like a mummy, a little war and you're already scared? Pui!”

Li XiangDong slowly opened his eyes. “Aha, this is really you. My dear child, where is this gift you promised your godfather last time we met?”

Hearing him grow more nonsense, Han TieXuan nearly exploded and sent a punch towards him. If the blow was connected, it was likely that Li XiangDong would have to return home with a coffin!

“Can General Han please calm down. Ling Tian has seen your sincerity, and I'm sure we can talk about business now!” Ling Tian grabbed onto the offending arm with a laugh, and turned to look at the two soldiers in charge of carrying Li XiangDong, snapping, “What are you guys still waiting for? You know that General Li is not feeling well, but you are still taking him everywhere? Can't you see that I'm entertaining an important guest here? Hurry up and bring him back to the district office! Are you asking to be tried in a military court?”

The two warriors began to sweat profusely, thinking inwardly, You obviously ordered us to bring him in, but now you scolded us and asked him to be executed. Are you playing with us? However, in front of Ling Tian, they clearly did not dare to say a word. The caretaker leader of the guards, Ling Twenty, seemed to have turned into a yes-man, nodding his head repeatedly and waving to the two of them to take Li XiangDong away. As he was taken away, Li XiangDong still shouted, “Twenty, look, it's your brother TieXuan, why don't you say hello, we're already like family! Next time, I'll take you to your brother's place, and have him cook some dishes properly for us, so we can all enjoy good food and wine.” His voice is getting further away,

“Haha, while I have seen General Han's sincerity, I have yet to know what General Han really wants. Why don't you explain this matter to me? ” Since Ling Tian had already confirmed Han TieXuan's identity, he switched the subject while gesturing for Han TieXuan to sit down. Although he was unsure of the reason why Han TieXuan would suggest an alliance, he was at least convinced by his sincerity, and Li XiangDong's speech about “Since when his courage was so great, he was at least convinced by his sincerity, the influence of who he relied on” gave Ling Tian an idea. Could it be that there was someone behind Han TieXuan pulling the rope?

Thinking of this, he could not help but glance at the other person sitting quietly beside him. To his surprise, he discovered that the person's brows were actually similar to Yu BingYan's, and the shape of his face was actually the same as Yu ManTian's, just that he had a much more scientific look! Ling Tian's heart skipped a beat as he thought, Could it be that Han TieXuan's backer is him? However, his face remained passive, except for the small smile that was on its back at the corner of his lips.

If his supporters were really as he thought, then the alliance between him and Han TieXuan would be as good as resolved!

The middle-aged man had been staring at Ling Tian all this time, and after seeing that Ling Tian was looking at him with a knowing expression, he could not help but smile. Their gazes met in the middle, and the two threw away face, having developed a tacit understanding.

Ling Tian found the matter startling: How could the Heavenly Wind Water be so rampant in this area without the local tyrant of the standing Yu Family? Now he understood that the Yu Family had long laid down their cards! And the fist they threw was surprisingly the Western Han army! He had no idea how the Yu Family achieved this!

Han TieXuan looked at the middle-aged man, and seeing that he just kept smiling without any intention to speak, he turned towards Ling Tian and said, “Regarding the previous battle, he said, This Han is very impressed with your heroic spirit and your men.show, which is completely different from the trash that is Northern Wei. My idea is for us to let go of the hatred of our past, and form a strong alliance to get rid of those Northern Wei dogs, before sharing the spoils. What does young noble Ling think of that?”

Ling Tian instead smiled and replied, “I believe Master beside General Han just got here this afternoon, right?”

The man with a scientific appearance replied with a smile, “True, I just arrived in the afternoon!”

Ling Tian's question was very strange. Other than the erudite-looking man, everyone on the scene, including Han TieXuan himself, did not know what the question meant!

While Ling Tian was already confident in the identity of that person, he had to clarify whether that person had attended the war between him, Northern Wei, and Western Han! While he knew that this person would never humble himself to lie to him, he still asked, just because it was his own arrogance! After receiving a positive answer, Ling Tian's face showed a wide smile!

The middle-aged man replied with a smile, but he shivered in his heart. From this indifferent sentence that Ling Tian uttered, a majestic and unyielding spirit could be heard in his words! Furthermore, it seemed like Ling Tian had suspicions towards the Yu Family!

Ling Tian continued, “To have General Han and Master come personally, how could I Ling Tian still not trust you? I'd like to consult the two of you for advice, please be generous! ” While his mouth was talking “you two”, his eyes were only focused on the middle-aged man!

After that came a discussion about the division of the spoils, and here are some arguments. Ling Tian actually expressed his greed by asking for 60% of all the gold and silver, as well as the troops and supplies they had obtained from the war! Han TieXuan actually had the advantage when discussing, but after hearing his demands, his eyes bulged as he stared at Ling Tian angrily, unable to agree! He insisted on equal division.

Ling Tian pondered for a long time, before smiling and replying, “Because that's the case, then I have a suggestion!” Glancing at them, he continued, “As for gold and silver, the land outside the Sky Bearing, as well as the land in Northern Wei, I will not take a single bit! However, I want every prisoner of this battle, and all of them to be equipped with war horses, a set of weapons and armor, along with a three-day supply! Do you two agree with this?”

As he finished speaking, not only was Han TieXuan stunned silly, even observers like Ling Jian gaped in shock! This condition was not even harsh, it was even too generous! This would be as good as the Western Han waging and winning the war himself, as all the valuable materials such as minerals and soil would be given to them, he said, with Ling Tian only getting the reward of tens of thousands of hungry mouths to feed! While the captives could easily be moved, their food had to be provided before they could be used!

Everyone present could see that this war was as good as victory, making Western Han a spy and ready to stab Northern Wei from behind! However, the extent of the benefits of winning remains to be seen. What would happen if all the defeated Northern Wei warriors escaped?

At this point, Ling Tian's condition was like painting a cake to reduce his own hunger, but handing over a piece of the original plump meat to Western Han with both hands!

Han TieXuan was surprised to the point that he was standing there with his mouth open, as if waiting for his teeth to fall out. This was an extremely harsh proposition for Ling Tian. This made Han TieXuan feel as if his brain had completely shorted just by thinking about why someone did that to himself. Only after Ling Tian repeated himself twice did he finally wake up from his daydream and nod his head repeatedly like a chicken pecking at corn. He could not wait to express his agreement and was so grateful that his entire face was flushed red with excitement! If all went as he wished, then not only would he receive the services to expand the Western Han lands, but he would also accept the Yu Family as his backers!

The issue of war was decided within moments, and both sides agreed to begin their assault at midnight the next day. The middle-aged man and Han TieXuan immediately said goodbye and left. Even after they were outside the fortress, Han TieXuan still could not believe that he had just been given such a lavish gift on a silver platter! Instead, the middle-aged man looked at Ling Tian long and deep, as well as a meaningful smile before he left.
