Chapter 199 Ambition
Ling Mo also showed a puzzled expression on his face. Who is Chen Xuan's backer?
The reason why he was so lawless was that he even dared to beat people from the Tianshan Sect and to send people from the Zhao family to pick up manure.
Then this backer must be incredibly powerful, right?
"Commander Ling, are you mistaken? Don't you know who my backer is?"
Chen Xuan looked at Ling Mo helplessly, then slowly shook his head.
Ling Mo was stunned. He really didn't know about this.
but……
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ling Mo's mind. In an instant, he seemed to understand something, and his eyes slowly widened:
"Master Chen, the backer you're talking about, isn't it the Chen family? The Chen family in the capital?"
"You finally thought of it!" Chen Xuan clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up.
Ling Mo suddenly looked constipated.
To be honest, he didn't really think about it at first, but just now, he thought of Chen Kun and Chen Qing, father and son.
Although this father and son have a grudge against Chen Xuan, they share the same origin.
However, compared to bloodline, Chen Kun and his friends are just side branches, and their bloodline is very thin.
But Chen Xuan is a direct descendant with pure blood!
Ling Mo couldn't understand why Chen Kun and his son had to go against Chen Xuan. They must be mentally ill.
As a member of the collateral branch, shouldn't you just be obedient and serve the eldest young master from the direct lineage in a proper manner? Why are you trying to make things difficult for yourself?
"The Chen family of the capital? Could it be that Master Chen is referring to the Chen clan, one of the top three aristocratic families in the world?"
Qin Tingyu seemed to have thought of something as well. Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
There are many families with the surname Chen.
But, there is only one Chen family in Beijing!
"Correct!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Qin Tingyu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"No wonder Master Chen is so confident. With the Chen clan's support, even the King of Zhenxi has to give him some respect. Although the Zhao family is strong, it is still far inferior to the Chen clan."
Although the Zhao family is the number one family on the border, it is not even among the top 20 in the entire Daqian Dynasty!
The Chen clan has always been one of the top three families since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty!
Even though it has been a little bit neglected in recent years, it has never fallen out of the top three.
In this battle for the ranking of aristocratic families, if the Chen family says they are fourth, is there any family that dares to jump out and say they are third?
Obviously not!
Even the other two families did not dare to say that they were ranked above the Chen family. For a long time, the three great families of the Daqian Dynasty were on par with each other, rather than being ranked one, two, or three.
"So, you two should stop worrying and just do what you need to do."
Chen Xuan spoke carelessly.
Qin Tingyu felt relieved when she learned that Chen Xuan had such a strong backer. She bowed slightly and said, "Then we won't disturb you, Master Chen, from resting."
Chen Xuan suddenly thought of something, smiled, and said, "Mrs. Qin, why don't you go shopping with my Xiuning? You women have common topics. Ling Mo and I will discuss some things."
Qin Tingyu was a smart woman. She understood immediately that Chen Xuan had something to say to Ling Mo in private, and as a woman, it was not convenient for her to listen here.
"Then I'll have to trouble Madam Chen to show me around."
Qin Tingyu said politely.
At this time, Li Xiuning walked in and chatted with her politely and generously, addressing her as sister. After chatting for a few words, they went to the back garden together.
Saying it's a visit is just a polite way of saying it.
Qin Tingyu is very familiar with every corner of the entire Barbarian City. Does she still need a foreigner like Li Xiuning to take her on a tour?
Qin Tingyu didn't know what Chen Xuan wanted to say to Ling Mo, and whether it was related to herself. Before leaving, she was still a little worried.
After all, her identity is quite special.
"Master Chen, what do you want to discuss with me?"
There was no one else in the room, so Ling Mo asked in a serious tone.
He wondered if Chen Xuan was going to ask him about Qin Tingyu, and Ling Mo had already prepared his answer.
"Ling Mo, look, this, this, and here."
However, Chen Xuan suddenly pointed to the map on the table.
This is a map of the border, with twenty-four cities, Tianshan Sect, etc. marked on it.
Among them, there are four positions with four black circles drawn.
There was a check mark in a circle.
The locations that Chen Xuan pointed to were exactly these four circles.
Ling Mo knows the border map better than anyone else.
He immediately saw the black circle with a check mark. Barbarian City, Snake City, and other six cities were in this circle.
"Master Chen, this is the sphere of influence of the four major bandits at the border. What are you pointing at them for?"
Ling Mo asked in surprise.
Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "As expected of Commander Ling, you don't even need my explanation. You'll understand it just by looking at it. Do you know why I put a check mark in the black circle for our area?"
Ling Mo thought for a moment and said, "Is it because you kept Black Whirlwind, one of the four great bandits, captive?"
Ling Mo was completely convinced that Chen Xuan had controlled the 3,000 or so bandits of Black Whirlwind without any bloodshed last night.
Unfortunately, he was not at the scene at that time. He only found out about what happened when he took Zhao Zhong to Xiao Liuzi.
"No one knows me better than Commander Ling!"
Chen Xuan laughed heartily, then pointed at the other three circles. "There are over ten thousand bandits throughout the border, constantly committing crimes near the twenty-four border cities. What do you think would happen if I could capture these ten thousand bandits, integrate them into my own forces, and build an army?"
Hearing this, Ling Mo was shocked by his idea.
He never expected that Chen Xuan's appetite was so big!
Eating one Black Whirlwind wouldn't satisfy him at all!
He actually set his eyes on three other bandit dens!
"Master Chen, I'm afraid it's not that easy to control."
After thinking for a while, Ling Mo spoke seriously.
Chen Xuan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Why is it so difficult to control this? I don't directly manage all of them. I just need to manage the bosses."
"Look at Black Whirlwind. 3,000 people. Can I manage them all by myself? Definitely not. But I only need to take care of their boss, second in command, and third in command. The end result is that the remaining 3,000 people will be obedient. If I don't let them leave, do they dare to leave?"
This statement is correct. It's like Chen Xuan is trying to persuade the 8,000 elite soldiers of Barbarian City one by one to get them to follow him. How is this possible?
However, Chen Xuan only needs to deal with Ling Mo, which is equivalent to dealing with everyone else!
Now that one Black Whirlwind has been dealt with, if we want to deal with the other three bandits, we just need to use the same old tricks!
