The Glory After Rebirth

Chapter 70: You Are Not Being Honest

Translator: DragonRider

“We can have a discussion about why you want to break off the engagement.” Yuwen Tong suggested.

Ling Zhang said, “There is no reason. We are just not right for each other.”

Yuwen Tong shook his head, “No. I think we are.”

Ling Zhang almost laughed?in?his?exasperation due to him. Then his eyes turned cold, “Are you serious? Answer me with your heart.”

“Of course. I don’t think I need to tell a lie.” Yuwen Tong looked at him seriously.

…

Ling Zhang stretched out to close the door and said, “I’m going to sleep. You’d better go back.”

Yuwen Tong held the doors with his arms and asked, “No one told you that you can’t sidestep the problems?”

“Are you sure what you said to me is real?” Ling Zhang asked angrily.

“So that’s what you’ve be struggling about? You think I’m lying?” Yuwen Tong was a little mad, “What makes you have such a false impression?”

“No. I was just asking casually.” Ling Zhang was discomposed at present. He shouldn’t have asked the question. But he can’t help it. Yuwen Tong forced him all the time. But he couldn’t tell whether Yuwen Tong was willing to marry him or not.

Yuwen Tong had treated him like that in his last life. But at present, Yuwen Tong changed his attitude just because they met earlier and no one vilified him. Yuwen Tong even claimed they were right for each other. How could Ling Zhang believe such a person?

“Ling Zhang, you are not being honest.” Yuwen Tong lowered his head to look at Ling Zhang. He stood near the door and blocked the scene outside. There was no light in the room. So Ling Zhang couldn’t see his expression. But he could see Yuwen Tong’s fierce and deep eyes clearly.

Feeling the strong pressure and danger from Yuwen Tong, Ling Zhang couldn’t help stepping backward.

At the next moment, Ling Zhang felt the back of his waist was hugged by Yuwen Tong’s arm. Then he was dragged into Yuwen Tong’s arms.

Feeling the warmth on his lips, Ling Zhang was stunned and became angry.

When he tried to push Yuwen Tong away, Yuwen Tong had already left his lips. Lowering his head to look at Ling Zhang, he said, “Well, I found you are really difficult to deal with. I don’t know what you’re worrying about. But if you are not sure, you can just wait and see what I’ll do next.”

“Go to bed if you like. I will find you tomorrow.”

Then Yuwen Tong loosened his arms and turned to leave.

Ling Zhang stood there quietly watching him go away. He raised his hand to touch his lips and wiped it hard. Finally he stopped and stood in silence.

Did he just need to see what Yuwen Tong would do?

How could Yuwen Tong become so confident?

“Marshal, you come back.” Yao Yi and others were talking about something in the yard. They scattered as soon as they saw Yuwen Tong back, all wearing ingratiating smile.

Yuwen Tong looked at them coldly, “You got quite a nerve.”

They dared to eavesdrop on his conversation with Ling Zhang.

“We... We didn’t hear anything.” Yao Yi said.

Yuwen Tong snorted coldly, “Go away.”

Yao Yi and others ran away quickly. In the twinkling of an eye, Yuwen Tong couldn’t see a person in the yard.

It was the first time for the guards to see their marshal fail. They couldn’t bother their marshal at this time! However, Childe Ling definitely matched their marshal. He was so brave.

“Captain, should we help marshal?” Someone asked.

Yao Yi turned to look at him and said, “What can we do? Are you a moron? Marshal said that he can make it by himself.”

“But...”

“Shut up. Marshal will peel off our skin if he knows we do something secretly.”

“Captain, we won’t do anything to Childe Ling. Marshal is confused why Childe Ling doesn’t trust him, right? We can investigate it.”

“Investigate?” Yao Yi thought of that letter marshal asked him to write to Yue Qi. Then he frowned and said, “No need to rush. Let’s wait for some time.”

In the capital.

“Vice captain, there is a letter from Tanyang.”

Yue Qi took the letter sent by his men and opened it, looking surprised before he burnt the letter.

“Come over here, we’ve got an order from marshal.”

......

“Young master, everyone is here.” Wang Dashan called all the guards to come before dawn.

Ling Zhang nodded, “A few days later, I will teach you a set of formation, which is used to trap and kill enemies. It can take full use of your power to kill a person who is stronger than you easily.”

Formation? Even Wang Dashan and Liu Yi were so shocked, let alone others.

“Young master, what kind of formation is it?” Wang Dashan asked after exchanging a glance with Liu Yi.

“You can call it Small Trapping and Killing Formation. It needs a good teamwork between you twelve. After the twelve guards come back from the herbs plantation, they should also practice it. When you all grasp it, it will become a Big Trapping and Killing Formation. At that time, you will be a strong troop.” Ling Zhang said.

Big Trapping and Killing Formation? Wang Dashan, Liu Yi and others were more astonished at what they just heard.

“Well, do you have anything else to ask?” Ling Zhang looked at them.

“Young master, at your service.” The guards said.

“Okay. I have to tell you in advance. We must practice many times to learn it as it requires good cooperation, which will be very hard. Everyone has to hang in there.” Ling Zhang said.

“Young master, don’t worry. We can endure hardship.” Wang Dashan promised.

“Yes. We also practice very hard to learn Kung Fu. If the formation can kill people stronger than us like you said, we’d like to have a try.” Liu Yi said.

“Yes. We are all willing to practice it.” Others also said.

After screening all the guards and some of his tough way of handling matters, Ling Zhang was now highly respected by the guards.

“Good.?Empty?boasts?are?useless. I will know your resolution when you begin to practice. Now I need to know what you are good at. Don’t hide it. Show me all your skills.” Ling Zhang said.

Although Ling Zhang came here to exercise every morning and almost knew what they were good at, he still wanted to observe it carefully.

Wang Dashan quickly arranged everyone to show their Kung Fu to Ling Zhang.

Some were good at boxing, some kicking, some could use knifes, some like swords, some whips, and others spears. Of course, by ‘good at’ it didn’t mean that could compare with the soldiers of Yuwen Tong.

After seeing it one by one, Ling Zhang remembered each one’s advantage. Then he said, “Besides that, I need to know whether you can work with each other well. Captain Wang, you are more familiar than me in that. Please.”

Wang Dashan nodded, “Please leave it to me.”

The method that Wang Dashan came up with was really interesting, which included all twelve people. But their teamwork was so terrible.

Ling Zhang frowned deeply.

The guards were a little nervous when they saw Ling Zhang frowning.

“I knew your teamwork would be bad before practicing. But I never expected it would be so terrible. You’d better try hard to train it before practicing the formation.”

All guards didn’t dare to make a noise.

Wang Dashan said, “Young master, I believe they will make progress if we give them some time.”

“Please give us some time.” Guards said.

Ling Zhang agreed, “I can give you time. But you must do it well.”

“From the teamwork test just now, I find some of you were quite rigid in cooperation. Are you on bad terms at ordinary times?”

Ling Zhang stared at a few guards with his fierce eyes.

The ones being stared looked awkward and didn’t dare to meet Ling Zhang’s eyes.

“I won’t blame you. It’s normal to have frictions. But we must resolve it. Now you can tell me. I hope I can mediate in your dispute.” Ling Zhang said.

The guards were so embarrassed. Looking at each other, they faltered and didn’t say a complete sentence.

“Is it hard to say?” Ling Zhang said, “Well, others can leave now. You guys stay.”

“Yes.” Liu Yi went away with others.

Only the three persons and Wang Dashan left.

“Now you can tell me what happened.” Ling Zhang required.

“We, we...” One of them raised his hand to scratch his head and smiled awkwardly, “It’s about a girl.”

“A girl?” Ling Zhang couldn’t understand, “Do you three like the same girl?”

“No, no, no. It’s not true. We were once in a brothel...” The man was too shameful to say with his red face.

The brothel? Ling Zhang’s eyes became fierce. He asked, “You have a conflict due to a prostitute?”

“It has been such a long time. How could you still argue with each other about that?” Wang Dashan said.

“Captain Wang, do you know it?” Ling Zhang asked him.

“Ha, sorry to let you know it. The three went to the same brothel on the same day. Then they all took a fancy to the same beautiful girl. In the end, the girl didn’t choose any of them. But they fought with each other.” Wang Dashan said.

“You guys, tell me what happened.” Ling Zhang looked at the three men.

The three men looked at each other. Then person at the right stood out and said, “At the beginning, the girl wanted to stay with Qiu Bing. But Zhou Xiang wasn’t happy and said he saw the girl first and he should get her. Qiu Bing didn’t agree. He said that the girl had chosen him and Zhou Xiang couldn’t grab her. Then Zhou Xiang blamed that he was too selfish. Gradually, they began to fight. I wanted to stop them. But they didn’t listen to me and hit me. Finally, we three fought with each other. The girl also went away with someone else.” Both Qiu Bing and Zhou Xiang lowered their heads out of embarrassment.

“Zhao Kun, you don’t like that girl?” Wang Dashan asked.

Zhao Kun said, “The girl isn’t so beautiful.”

Ling Zhang was speechless.

“Zhao Kun just wanted to help. But you two hit him. As friends gathered by fate, you two should apologize to him first.” Ling Zhang looked at Qiu Bing and Zhou Xiang.

Qiu Bing scratched his head and looked at Zhao Kun, apologizing, “I’ve always wanted to say sorry. But I feel shameful to say that.”

Zhou Xiang also said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, grandson.”

“Grandson?” Ling Zhang’s eyes became cold instantly and stared at Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang got a chill over his spine quickly and explained in a hurry, “Young master, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t curse him. It is his nickname s. It’s just a joke.”

Zhao Kun snorted, “You’re just taking advantage of me. I will forgive you if I can punch each of you once.”
