Chapter 327: Who Benefits the Most

Translator: Nal Venom

Just as he was leaving, a buzzing sound rang out in Ling Tian's ears, “This old man can only do this much! Take advantage of this opportunity well! You must take good care of Yan’er or this old man will not let you off easily!”

A look of gratitude was seen on Ling Tian's face as he shouted to the two figures who left, “Thank you! Good luck to the destination! I won't see you out!” In the darkness, a crisp laugh could be heard as the two figures melted into the darkness.

Ling Jian, who was beside Ling Tian asked gently, “Young nobles, are we really going to let Western Han enjoy such benefits?”

“Let Western Han enjoy such benefits?” Ling Tian replied with a question as he muttered with a mysterious smile, “Are they really the ones who benefited?”

“Ling Tian is really generous!” In the dense forest, Yu Man Lou's beard was blown away by the wind with trembling fingers. With a flushed face, he pointed at Yu ManTang and scolded, “Second brother, I just said that you are farsighted and you made a big mistake! Han TieXuan was an impolite man and it was no wonder that he could not see through Ling Tian's plans. However, do you really not understand the plan? ”

Yu ManTang, who was also a middle-aged scholar who followed Han TieXuan said with a smile, “Sister, this matter is very beneficial to our Yu Family! So what if we let Ling Tian enjoy some benefits? Since we borrowed his power, it is not wrong if we give him some warriors!”

“Some soldiers?” Yu ManTian snorted as he looked towards Yu ManTang as if he wanted to devour Yu ManTang alive. “That's a few hundred thousand people! Furthermore, each of them had a war horse! This was a power capable of ruling the continent with little training and adjustments! Second brother, you really disappointed me so much!”

Yu ManTang replied with a small laugh, “Sister, this little brother thinks that everything is not too serious. Big brother, the battle has yet to begin and we still do not know how many soldiers will surrender in the end. The way this little brother saw it, fifty to sixty thousand soldiers was already an incredible feat. Why should big brother bother about those very few soldiers? ”

Yu Man Lou started laughing in anger, “Second brother, since Ling Tian offers such conditions, he must be very confident! Fifty to sixty thousand? I'm sure Ling Tian would only make such a decision if he could ensure a hundred thousand soldiers! If I were him, I would make the same choice!”

Yu ManTang replied with a smile, “So what if he has a hundred thousand soldiers? Big Brother must have felt angry for not taking Ling Xiao's life this time. You only focus on this single failure but don't see the big picture! After today's battle, the strength of the Northern Wei would definitely decrease, and it was impossible for them to return! It is almost certain that Northern Wei will fall into the hands of our Yu Family! What do you think about that?”

Yu ManTian snorted and said, “This is for sure, but so what if that's the case?”

Yu ManTang continued, “Depending on this battle, we have confirmed Han TieXuan's status in the Western Han army! With his military capabilities, he will definitely be able to take control of the entire Western Han army with our help! At that time, Western Han will also be in our hands. Does your brother agree? ”

Yu Man Lou's brows furrowed as he considered the actions he had to take against the two kingdoms after this battle. After a while, he nodded his head in agreement.

Yu ManTang then twirled his thumb as he said, “Thus, our Yu Family will understand the military might of the two kingdoms! Together with Ling Tian's strength, it can be said that half the continent is in the hands of our Yu Family. ”

Hearing this, Yu Man Lou could only sneer, “Do you think Ling Tian will be easily controlled by us? With his ambition, how could he not plan a rebellion with such power in his hands? This is similar to raising a tiger for future problems!”

Yu ManTang shook his head in disapproval, “Sister misunderstood my intentions! If Ling Tian wanted to stabilize the Sky Bearing, it would definitely require a lot of effort. Furthermore, he would also not be able to fully assimilate the surrendered troops into his army so easily! After that, Ling Tian still had to deal with the Southern Zheng Family and DongFang. Moreover, the Xiao Family was still waiting for their chance. If Ling Tian did not replenish his troops, how would he face them?”

Yu ManTian sighed as he said, “Although your words have truth in them, do you really think that we will be able to handle Northern Wei and Western Han so quickly? Don't we need time too? Furthermore, for such a large territory belonging to the Western Han, do you think they would be able to defend their borders with the small number of soldiers they had? While Ling Tian seemed to be giving all the spoils of war to Western Han, all of these things could be easily taken back by him after he stabilized the internal chaos within the Sky Bearing! The Western Han army only had 250,000 soldiers and it was already difficult for them to defend their own borders! No need to mention the newly acquired territory! If that was the case, wouldn't all the benefits be in vain?”

Yu Man Lou continued on agitatedly, “As for the wealth gained from this battle, it is nothing more than a joke!” Yu Man Lou said with a chuckle, “When Ling Tian leads his army into battle, won't he be able to easily reclaim all that wealth? While our Yu Family is receiving benefits, we will also be forced to expose ourselves! We can no longer hide behind the backs of others and work in the shadows. If that's the case, won't the loss exceed our profit?”

Yu ManTang was stunned for a moment when he asked, “Why did big brother say that?”

“How can that be possible? With Ling Tian's newly acquired strength and rapid development, how could the others not be wary of him?” Yu ManTang was completely confused.

“Hai!” Yu Man Lou let out a long sigh as he said in disappointment, “If other powers realize we are joining the war for hegemony, , would they think that our Ling Tian or the Yu Family who have a thousand year foundation would become even scarier? Isn't the answer very clear? In comparison, all the other powers will only be wary of us and not Ling Tian!”

“I understand,” Yu ManTang nodded before frowning, “Then what should we do? Negotiations have been concluded, and the plan will be implemented in just two hours. I'm afraid it's too late to change anything! Furthermore, if we delay the battle, we will lose this opportunity to defeat Northern Wei and Heavenly Wind Water together!”

Yu Man Lou said with a pale face, “Second brother, everything is set up and you still ask me what should we do? Both sides have already started to execute that plan, and it is too late for me to change anything.” After pausing for a moment, Yu Man Lou let out a long sigh, “Second brother, this brother knows that you have always been a meticulous and careful individual, thus letting you handle such an important matter. But ... You really let me down!”

Yu ManTang lowered his head in guilt, “This little brother is wrong. May brother punish me.”

Yu Man Lou then glared at him with eagle-like eyes as he asked, “Second brother, I replied honestly. Do you have a personal agenda ?! ” The last few words echoed in Yu ManTang's heart like a loud bell!

“Big brother!” Yu ManTang raised his head and came into contact with Yu ManLou's sharp gaze. After their gazes met for a while, Yu ManTang slowly lowered his gaze.

A myriad of emotions flashed across Yu Man Lou's face: frustration, disappointment, heartbreak, and even a trace of killing intent. After some time, he sighed, “Indeed right! Forget that! Forget that! Take this as our Yu Family dowry! ”

Turning around, Yu Man Lou said in an ice-cold tone, “ManTang, even if you are my brother, I don't want anything like this to happen again! When you come back, give up all the responsibilities you have! You are not young anymore, and you should enjoy some peaceful time with brother-in-law.” Towards the end, his tone became softer. With another ******, his body shot up into the air and floated away.

“Kakak, where did you go?” Yu ManTang asked worriedly.

From afar, Yu Man Lou's angry voice could be heard, “Home! If I don't go home, should I stay here and watch Ling Tian capture the surrendered soldiers ?! ”

In the darkness, a black figure also followed Yu Man Lou.

Yu ManTang sighed and looked towards Nine Swallow City. “Ling Tian, Yan’er, your father can only do so much for the two of you. Today, I have betrayed the family for the sake of both of you and will never get another chance to do so! I hope you both can take this chance! Don't let this old man fall! Our Yu family has disappointed Yan’er for a full 17 years! Ling Tian, you must take good care of my daughter! Even if he can only survive for one day, I hope you will let him live that day happily!”

Shadows of trees overlapped as forest vegetation swayed in the wind. The lonely figure of Yu ManTang also disappeared into the shadows.

In the darkness, Nine Swallow City and the Soul Extinguishing Pass were covered in darkness!

Suddenly, in the silence of the night, the sound of horse racing was heard. While they were still far away, the horses were approaching quickly!

In the dark night, an army of elite cavalry could be seen on the horizon. There are dozens of such squadrons! However, these troops were definitely not from the Ling Family Courtyard but their strength was in no way weaker than the soldiers from the courtyard! Each squadron was around five to six hundred people in size and the largest one was no more than two thousand! They seem to fall from the sky! Each squadron only had one target, the great Northern Wei military camp!

A small red signal beacon then shot into the sky with a loud whistle, exploding in the sky with a loud bang! The sky was immediately covered with a bright red color, illuminating the dark night sky!
