Chapter 22: the North Lord
On the next day, Ji Lian escorted the mercenary leaders to meet the person they assigned to protect him. The son of the Northern Lord Ling Seo he was a quiet teen eighteen-year-old wearing traditional scholar clothes. When you look at him, you can feel that you are in front of a real noble.
"Young Master Ling Seo, these are the mercenary leaders who will help protect the convoy from the right. This is the White Spear and this Iron Rock, and this is Liu Chang." Ji Lian spoke softly as he introduced the mercenary leaders while Ling Seo listened at the side intently.
"Nice to meet you gentlemen, I am so happy to have the protection of a group of strong fighters like you," Ling Seo spoke in a calm tone.
After wasting a few minutes on courtesies and diplomatic words, the mercenary leaders left Ling seo carriage
In Ji Lian's tent, Liu Chang and Ji Lian sat
"What do you think, General, of Young Master Ling seo?" Asked Ji Lian in an inquiring tone, as he was interested in knowing the opinion of that strongman from the strongest organization under the leadership of the royal family in the son of the Northern Lord
"Pathetic, not suitable for inheriting the Lord of the North. I do not know what is going on in the mind of that old fool to decide to grant him city rule. It seems that the war is inevitably coming to the North," Liu Chang responded in a sarcastic tone.
"No, the Lord does not intend to make the young master his successor. He decided to compensate him for his remoteness and send him from childhood to the scholarly school," Ji Lian replied.
"It seems that you don't know much how much is expected of you from those who think that the Lord of the North is sick with a natural disease," Liu Chang replied in an ironic tone
"Isn't the Lord sick, and it is said that there is only a few years left for him," Ji Lian asked
Hahaha, well, this is nonsense. The fact is that the Lord of the North was poisoned several years ago, and according to the doctors, he has a few weeks left while we talk. The rule of the northern cities is distributed among his sons, and after his death they will announce a system that has been approved by the king in the capital, and I estimate that the wars will return to the north again. Liu Chang spoke in a calm tone while the shock appeared on Ji Lian's face
Northern Lord Ling Bao was one of the most powerful mans in Ming Kingdom and a clever politician who is famous for his achievements. He restored the north to the rule of the royal family, as after the civil war that broke out on the throne 50 years ago, the influence of the royal family weakened and its influence in the north became a mere sight without actual power and noble families were alone The northern region in the region turned it into its own spheres of influence, taking advantage of the royal family's preoccupation with its war with the sects in the West, but 25 years ago a young nobleman named Ling Bao appeared, the young man with great ambition, who came from a small noble family. at that time allied with Prince Ming Chan and within 7 years crushed noble families He was associated with middle families with intermarriage relations and transformed the north into a region completely subject to him and became the owner of the only word, but he recognized the authority of the royal family, and the kingdom's employees and rulers of small cities who belonged to the kingdom returned after years of absence. For his fans, he was the man who brought stability to the North. As for his haters, they saw him as poisonous snake destroyed the influence of noble families and granted the commoners many privileges that were exclusively for the nobles. In short, the Lord of the North was a living legend of the unceasing king And c for the north
But even the strong fall the strongest man in the north exposed to poisoning strong poison despite the level of his strong cultivation in the ninth level of intensification of ironing, but he could not withstand the poison except for a few years this with the knowledge that the poison was not intended to kill him immediately, so as his death approached, the North Lord held A deal with the royal family, which he has always served faithfully, he will distribute the rule of the northern cities to his sons but as everyone knows the wind comes with what the ships do not desire, and as soon as he died in Lin Mao's past life bloody battles broke out, whether between his sons or noble families seeking to A high position after years of submission to the rule of the Lord of the North. This war was called the Northern Red War, where all of these fighters were just pawns in a big game of chess.
"Don't think too much. We have to prepare for all eventualities," Liu Chang said to the thoughtful Ji Lian
The next day, as the sun rose, the convoy began its march towards its target
....
In a place far from Spring City, Bo Ming stood in the middle of his men with a smile on his lips. The task assigned to them was very simple. Attacking a convoy that would pass from this place after two days this was an easy task. They have time to ambush, and they have the numerical majority, and no one in that convoy has a level of training more than the Hotian.
For him, in his long years as a killer, that was the easiest task that he could receive free money for nothing Should he be a fool and refuse him?
