C48
This horse attracted the attention of many people. The man dressed in black clothes on the horse was not a messenger. No one could tell what kind of person he was from his dressing.
After entering the city, he asked for the way to Ling Family, and then headed in the direction of Ling Family, stopping at the right place not long after.
"Who is it?" the gatekeeper of the Ling Family asked.
"Excuse me, is this Master Ling, Xingzhong Ling's house?" the man on the horse asked.
"That's right." The guard replied.
The tight-uniformed man alighted from his horse and said: "I have a letter to send to Master Ling on behalf of my master. I need to personally report it to Master Ling. Sorry to bother you, please inform your master."
A messenger? This person didn't look like he was here to deliver a letter. The two guards looked the man up and down a few times, and then one of them went in to report.
"Please come with me." After a while, the guard came out and led tight-uniformed man into the manor.
Ling Xingzhong was sitting in the hall, he was confused upon seeing the person who came over. The man was walking with a brisk manner, not a normal servant. Ling did not remember anyone having a servant like that, and could not help but ask: "You are?"
The tight-uniformed man entered the hall and bowed with a fist clenched, "You are Master Ling?"
Ling Xingzhong couldn't help but sit up straight and nod, "I am Ling Xingzhong."
The tight-uniformed man took out a letter and handed it over to Ling Xingzhong: "This is my marshal's personal letter, Master Ling please have a look at it."
Marshal? Ling Xingzhong's eyelids jumped as he hurriedly took the envelop from the other party. After opening it, he took out the letter and read it, his expression immediately changed as he stood up and said, "May I ask how long it will take for Marshal to arrive at Tan Yang?"
"Tomorrow morning." The person replied.
"Thank you, young brother, for sending this letter. I will immediately arrange to leave the city tomorrow morning to receive him." Ling Xingzhong said.
"My family's marshal's request is to ask Lord Ling not to reveal anything. He doesn't want to alarm anyone else by coming here, so there's no need for Lord Ling to go outside the city to receive him. Tomorrow morning, Marshal will directly enter the city to visit Ling Residence." The person said.
Ling Xingzhong's heart trembled, "I understand, I will definitely not reveal this to anyone."
The man smiled and said, "Then I'll be troubling Master Ling. I'll be going back to meet the marshal now."
"Bro, you've worked hard. Take care." Ling Xingzhong personally escorted him to the door, and watched the man ride his horse far away.
When the man disappeared, Ling Xingzhong immediately called for someone: "Quick, invite Second Brother back."
"Yes sir!" Hearing Ling Xingzhong's serious tone, the servant did not dare delay and immediately went to the yamen to invite Ling Zhaowen back to the residence.
After Ling Zhaowen returned to his residence, he anxiously went to find Ling Xingzhong, "Father, what matter did you have to look for me in such a hurry?"
"Take a look at this letter." Ling Xingzhong had already calmed down, and gave the letter in his hand to Ling Zhaowen.
Ling Zhaowen took the letter and read it, and was shocked: "Yuwen Tong is coming?!"
"That's right, he's almost at the Tan Yang City. He sent someone to report first, he'll enter the city tomorrow morning." Ling Xingzhong said.
"So fast!" Ling Zhaowen was shocked, "Should we inform the Lord Tao and prepare to welcome them?"
“No, the person who came said not to spread the news, Yuwen Tong did not want to alarm anyone else.” Ling Xingzhong said.
Ling Zhaowen immediately understood, and after calming down, he said: "Father, in your opinion, why did Yuwen Tong come here specifically? He also received the marriage annulment certificate, if he was not interested in this marriage, it would have been the most reasonable decision to keep it a secret. But now that he specially comes here, could it be that he has other intentions? "
