"Big brother!" Just then, Ling Maomao saw Ling Zhang coming back from afar and ran all the way over.

Ling Zhang's attention was immediately lured away by Ling Maomao, seeing that the little fellow was running so quickly, the floor of medicinal field was different from a Tan Yang City. If one was not careful, one would trip and run, he did not stop Ling Maomao from running over, but instead stared at his feet.

Ling Maomao ran over happily, without any intention to stop, he pounced on Ling Zhang.

Yuwen Tong frowned slightly, and with a flash, he stood behind Ling Zhang.

Unsurprisingly, Ling Zhang who was tensing up all over his body, and was in pain all over his body, could not even take a single one of Ling Maomao's pounced on him with all his might and fell backwards.

After being startled for a moment, Ling Zhang firmly hugged Ling Maomao, preparing himself so that he wouldn't be injured even if he had to carry Ling Maomao, but the fall did not happen as expected. Instead, he fell into a broad chest, with a slightly familiar cold fragrance slowly wafting into his nose.

Yuwen Tong steadily caught Ling Zhang and Ling Maomao who was in his embrace, and said with his head lowered: "A brainless sprout, a body that has underestimated itself, and you still dare to receive another person."

Ling Zhang:...

He didn't beg Yuwen Tong to catch him!

Ling Maomao raised his head from Ling Zhang's embrace and curiously looked at Yuwen Tong. "Who are you?"

Ling Zhang regained his senses, and immediately stood back up straight, then placed Ling Maomao on the ground, "How many times have I said you shouldn't run around randomly."

Ling Maomao made a face, then looked at Yuwen Tong and asked, "Big Brother, who is this uncle?"

Uncle...

Yuwen Tong's face stiffened.

However, Ling Zhang was ecstatic and almost laughed out loud. Actually, although Yuwen Tong went to the battlefield early, he was only twenty-six this year, and looked even younger. However, in Ling Maomao's eyes, it was because Yuwen Tong looked big that he called him uncle.

"This uncle," Ling Zhang intentionally dragged out the word 'uncle', "is a guest from home."

Yuwen Tong looked at Ling Zhang with a profound look, and said to Ling Maomao: "Call me big brother, my surname is Yu."

Ling Maomao looked at Ling Zhang, then looked at Yuwen Tong, and finally changed his mind: "Big Brother Yu."

Ling Zhang harrumphed unhappily in his heart, but unfortunately, it was inconvenient for him to go against Yuwen Tong, so he could only allow Ling Maomao to change his mind.

Yuwen Tong had already raised his hand to rub the top of Ling Maomao's head, but he very conveniently took out a piece of white jade, and placed it in Ling Maomao's hands, "This is your greeting gift."

Ling Zhang subconsciously wanted to reject on his behalf, but Yuwen Tong acted as if he knew what was going to say, and looked at him, "This is just an ordinary greeting gift, and you want to reject it?"

What else can he say when he's done talking to you? Ling Zhang pursed his lips for a moment, then said: "This jade is too valuable."

"Why else would I give it away? Should I give away a stalk of grass?" Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang:...

Wasn't this forcing logic.

"Take it." Yuwen Tong looked at Ling Maomao and said.

Ling Maomao looked at his brother, seeing that his brother did not say anything, he kept the jade, "Thank you, Big Brother Yu." His eyes was filled with curiosity towards Yuwen Tong.

Yuwen Tong nodded his head, and then scanned the situation of the medicinal field, "This medicinal field is not small, I have long heard that the Tan Yang is rich in medicinal herbs, and it is indeed true."

There were a few items that were commonly used on the battlefield, Yuwen Tong wanted to understand more and let Ling Zhang bring him to the medicinal field to take a look.

Ling Zhang only wanted to sit down and rest. His waist was sore now.

However, he didn't want to lose in front of Yuwen Tong, so even if he frowned on the inside, he still agreed.

When he brought Yuwen Tong into the medicinal field, Ling Zhang was surprised to find that he knew almost all the medicinal ingredients in the medicinal field, and was even more familiar with it than he was.

Yuwen Tong seemed to have seen the doubt in his eyes, and took the initiative to explain: "On the battlefield, medicinal ingredients are essential. As a commander, I know more about these medicinal ingredients that can save a soldier's life at a critical moment."

Ling Zhang's heart moved. Yuwen Tong was the marshal, and he commanded almost a million troops, yet he could still accomplish this?

After walking for a long time, Ling Zhang's thighs started to tremble. When he got down from the horse, he was already a little unsteady.

He accidentally tripped over a rock and his legs went soft. He almost kneeled down.

Yuwen Tong reacted quickly and scooped him up, "Be careful."

After scooping up Ling Zhang, Yuwen Tong felt that his legs were powerless and were trembling. As long as he thought for a bit, he would know what was going on.

Ling Zhang clenched his teeth, "I can walk."

Yuwen Tong looked at him in disapproval, but at the same time, he was also blaming himself in his heart. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and to them, riding a horse just now was nothing.

"Time to go back." Yuwen Tong said in a heavy voice.

Ling Zhang nodded, he regained his balance and was about to turn around to leave. However, once he raised his foot and stomped down, his knees went soft again.

Yuwen Tong directly grabbed him and carried him. Then, without saying a word, he directly carried Ling Zhang and walked back.

Ling Zhang's face turned red and green, he never thought that his body would actually be so weak. He had obviously trained every morning, and it was already much stronger than when he was reborn! Furthermore, he was lifted up by Yuwen Tong just like that, and lost all face!

"Let me down, I'll walk." Some people had already looked over, Ling Zhang's face was hot, and said while clenching his teeth.

Yuwen Tong lowered his head and looked at him seriously, "Don't move."

Seeing that, actually did not dare to move under his stare.

"I'll go by myself." Ling Zhang tried his best to ignore the effect Yuwen Tong gave him and insisted.

Yuwen Tong quietly watched him for a while, then suddenly flew up into the air with him while carrying him. After jumping past a large group of medicinal field, they arrived in front of the manor after a few rises and falls, and then placed Ling Zhang down.

Ling Zhang had already been stunned by the soaring leap just now, and even after landing on the ground, he still felt that it was unreal.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Ling Maomao worriedly walked over.

Zhou Quanfu brought a few others and gathered over: Eldest Young Master, what's wrong with your leg?

"It's fine, I accidentally knocked it just now. I felt a little numb for a moment, I'll be fine soon." Ling Zhang hurriedly said.

"Then quickly go back to your room and rest." Zhou Quanfu said.

saved them from the hands of the State Guard and made them extremely grateful towards him. Of course, there was also this person who had a terrifying aura, the only difference was that they did not dare to approach him.

Ling Zhang nodded his head: "Many thanks, I will be going to take a rest now."

After Ling Zhang entered the room and sat down, he felt that he had slowly recovered.

He glanced at Yuwen Tong who followed in, "Sorry, I can't accompany you, Marshal, to look at the medicinal field."

When Yuwen Tong saw that he did not have a single bit of an apologetic expression on his face, it was clear in his heart that Ling Zhang actually did not wish to accompany him.

"No worries, I also need some rest." Yuwen Tong then found a chair to sit on.

Ling Zhang's eyes widened, "My house is very narrow, I had them prepare tea and snacks for you, please come in and have a seat."

"I don't care about that. It's the same wherever I sit." Yuwen Tong said calmly.

Ling Zhang almost could not hold back and threw the thing beside his hand over. He had said it in such an obvious manner that he didn't understand!

His heart was in a mess, he just wanted to be alone and quiet, not wanting to be in the same room as Yuwen Tong at all!

"You can't stand properly, it must be because you twisted your horse's sitting posture. Let me move it for you." Yuwen Tong felt that it was simply too interesting for Ling Zhang to not hold back and provoke him to leave.

Sure enough, Ling Zhang immediately tensed up and stared at Yuwen Tong warily: "No need."

"You really don't need it? Or do you want me to carry you when you can't walk? " Yuwen Tong said.

"I said no, I can walk by myself, there's no need for you to carry me!" Ling Zhang could not help but raise his voice.

"Big brother?" Hearing the sounds coming from inside the house, Ling Maomao ran in and looked at Ling Zhang nervously, "What did you say?

Ling Zhang's anger was suddenly stuck in his throat, he was unable to spit it out, and was unable to swallow it back. His expression was a little stiff.

Yuwen Tong chuckled, he stood up, casually rubbed Ling Maomao's head for a bit, and then left.

"Ling childe, rest well."

Ling Zhang watched as Yuwen Tong left with his eyes wide open.

Unable to suppress his anger any longer, Ling Zhang slammed the table fiercely, causing the teacups on the table to clink.

Ling Maomao was shocked, and looked at him timidly: "Big Brother?"

Ling Zhang took a few deep breaths, he then said after catching his breath: "It's alright, I'm not angry at you."

Ling Maomao relaxed and walked over, "Big brother, who made you angry?"

Who else could it be!? Ling Zhang thought about Yuwen Tong's laughter just now and wanted to beat him up.

"An annoying fly. Big brother slapped it to death." Ling Zhang said sinisterly.

Yuwen Tong, who hadn't gone far, heard this and raised his eyebrows. He couldn't help but laugh.

Although it was faint, it was still caught by the subordinates who followed over. They looked at Yuwen Tong in shock.

Yuwen Tong restrained his smile and said: "There are a lot of people here, be more careful when addressing you."

"Yes, milord." The subordinate immediately replied.

"Bring a few people with you to scout the encampment in Tan Yang State Guard." Yuwen Tong said.

"Yes." The subordinate replied, and then asked, "How long will sire stay here?"

"Ling Zhang probably doesn't want to stay here any longer. After you've scouted the area, go back to the Tan Yang City." Yuwen Tong said.

"Yes." "Yes sir."

Yuwen Tong looked in the direction of the Tan Yang State Guard's encampment from afar. The Tan Yang State Guard's encampment was larger than he had imagined, and the forces inside were definitely greater than he had expected. He had long heard that Zhang Chong had become a local tyrant in the Tan Yang.

Along the way, he had people ask him about the situation in the Tan Yang. The citizens had a huge reliance on the State Guard, and the State Guard became the only existence in the Tan Yang that could fight against bandits, but the bandits in the Tan Yang had been annihilated wave after wave for so many years, and there were even more and more situations happening, which was definitely abnormal.
