Chapter 542
It was the first time Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao with such a serious expression, which showed how much he cared about Xiao Empire .
“Wait for Nangong Ming to come back . Then, ask him how many people are still available in the Regent’s Residence . I will give you some more people from there . It will take a little time, but it won’t be any later than tomorrow morning . ” Ning Meng Yao thought for a moment, then said seriously .
A little smile appeared on Qiao Tian Chang’s face, with happiness in his eyes, he replied: “Then I am rest a.s.sured . ”
“Are you going to bring people to rescue them?” Ning Meng Yao knew Qiao Tian Chang, so naturally she could somewhat guess his thoughts .
Qiao Tian Chang nodded, and frowned a bit worriedly: “This is just the beginning . If it continues, I am not sure how many more of Xiao Empire’s people will fall into Ling Empire’s hands . ”
“You just do your thing, I will fully support you . ” It seemed that Ling Empire had not reached its limits yet, otherwise how could they have the time to do such ridiculous things?
Qiao Tian Chang wrapped Ning Meng Yao into his arms . He lowered his head and kissed her cheek before smiling faintly and thanking her .
That simple thank you contained several meanings, and Ning Meng Yao silently accepted it .
“Only this once . ” She did not like Qiao Tian Chang to say thank you to her, it made her feel distant from him .
Qiao Tian Chang smiled and nodded: “Okay, I won’t say it again . ”
Nangong Ming arrived a little while later, with a team of soldiers, about 20 people . Every one of them had a confused look on their face . They were not quite aware of why they were here .
Ning Meng Yao was too lazy to ask them one by one, she turned to Qing Shuang and ordered: “Qing Shuang, I will let you and Nan Yu handle these people . I want them to know everything as soon as possible . ”
“Miss, leave it to us . ” Qing Shuang nodded with a smile . Nangong Ming felt a little strange but he did not ask much .
After Qing Shuang and Nan Yu left with people, Ning Meng Yao looked at Nangong Ming with a serious expression: “Nangong Ming, if I let you lead some people to fight with us at Ling Empire, can you do it?” Although she had asked this question earlier, it was very important so she could not help but ask again .
Nangong Ming stared directly at Ning Meng Yao’s eyes: “Ling Empire became how it is today only because of my master . He has never allowed us to do anything to Ling Empire, but now that the Emperor Ling is not being benevolent, we shall take action . ”
Emperor Ling had long coveted the power in Nangong Yan’s hands . They had secretly attacked a few times, but because Nangong Yan said not to take action, they had waited in sullen, until now . After the news of the disappearance, Emperor Ling could finally set about his plan on the Regent’s Residence .
Since this was the case, then, there was no need for them to continue to protect this empire that had been squandered by their emperor .
Although Nangong Ming did not answer her question directly, Ning Meng Yao could understand what he meant . Obviously, what he wanted to say was that they had already taken action against us . Therefore, of course, we had to attack them back . It was like a gift exchange .
Ning Meng Yao nodded with satisfaction: “Give the soldiers who you think can be trusted to Tian Chang . ”
“Very well . ”
Nangong Ming took out a whistle and blew, three short sounds and two long sounds .
After blowing the whistle, Nangong Ming noticed Ning Meng Yao looking at him curiously . Then, he explained: “Emperor Ling had taken action against the Regent’s Residence mainly because of the Emperor’s Strong Guards . ”
“En?”
“It is an army of 10,000 people . They were trained by my master personally . And they had been hidden for more than ten years . Emperor Ling has sent people to look for them for a long time but to no avail . ” It was also because Emperor Ling feared this power, that was why he had not taken any rush action . On the contrary, he had sent so many spies just to receive news .
Ning Meng Yao nodded clearly: “Then, all this 10,000 people can be used?”
“Yes, but ever since the news of the Emperor’s disappearance, most of the head servants are out to look for the Emperor, so there are probably less than 5,000 people left now . ” Thinking of their master, Nangong Ming frowned tightly . He was obviously worried .
Ning Meng Yao turned to ask Qiao Tian Chang: “Is 5,000 people enough?”
