Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 643 The Song Family's Roots

"In addition, I originally wanted to send a team of iron guards to protect you, but after seeing your two special teams of heavy mountains and weak waters, there is no need for them. Their strength is stronger than that of the Ling family. The iron guards must be strong, so I won’t shame the old man out.”

The "Iron Guard" Ling Shaonan that Ling Zhongze mentioned was also seen when he was in Luoyang a few days ago. It is the most important force of the Ling family.In fact, the entire Ling family has a total of eleven martial arts masters at the level of Grandmaster and above, of which there are four in the direct line of the Ling family: Ling Qiyan, Ling Zhongze, Ling Yunxiao, and Ling Yunhao. Among the remaining seven, Qinglong, Baihu, and Suzaku The captains of the four iron guards, Xuanwu, accounted for four of them. From this, we can see the weight of the iron guards in the Ling family.

In fact, when Ling Shaonan arrived at Ling's house, he met Tiewei at the first time - Qinglong Tiewei was training in the small valley where he fought Ueshiba Okamori and others, and those wooden houses were their temporary residence. It's just that Ling Shaonan arrived before the Ling family started fighting with those alien warriors, so he didn't see Tie Wei's demeanor.But later in the process of visiting the Ling family, Ling Shaonan dealt with Tie Wei several times, and gradually became familiar with them.

The Ling Family Iron Guard is a very powerful force, with about a hundred people in each team, twice as many as Ling Shaonan's special forces team.Purely in terms of strength, except for the captain, the Iron Guard members are basically first-class late-stage or peak fighters, and the Bit team is much worse (the few special teams under Ling Shaonan except Ruoshui have more than a dozen martial arts masters , the high-end force is far from what the Iron Guards can compare), one-on-one is naturally not the opponent of the special forces trained by Ling Shaonan, but if the two fight in groups, the special forces will not easily take down the Iron Guards It was possible, even if they could win, it would be a miserable ending!

The reason is that the cooperation between the iron guards is really exquisite. Those iron guards were selected from childhood, and they have been living together for decades, living together, traveling together, and practicing the same kind of training. Martial arts, and the combination of formations that have been honed over time, the degree of tacit understanding is unparalleled, and they can naturally exert their abilities far beyond their own!

For example, if two iron guards cooperate with each other, they can exert three times or even four times the power of a single person, and if they form a large formation of a hundred people, their power can even increase tenfold!

At the beginning, after Ling Shaonan knew this, he asked Ling Zhongze for a few iron guards without any hesitation, and brought them to the Shanghai stock market to guide the special forces and the disciples of the Jiwu Daoguan in terms of formation and coordination. to further enhance their combat effectiveness.

However, there is no need to transfer a team of iron guards here, not to mention that Ling Zhongze has dismissed this idea, even if he still has this idea Ling Shaonan will find a way to reject it.The strength in his hands is enough to protect himself and his family, and no one can guarantee that the forces behind the alien warriors killed by him will not seek opportunities to retaliate against the Ling family. Besides, there is also a Song family, and the current situation of the Ling family is not so stable. Taiping, with more strength in hand, we can better protect ourselves.

"Other people will not give you, but people who take care of food and daily life and take care of chores still need some. This time Ling Zhong will stay with you, and I will arrange some people to come after returning to Luoyang. Let them follow you." Ling Zhongze continued.

"Uncle Zhong? He also manages a lot of things at home, can he go away?" There are more and more things in Ling Shaonan's house now, and grandparents are often not at home, so it is really necessary for someone to take care of them, so He didn't directly refuse either.But thinking of Ling Zhong's status in the Ling family is also very important, so I asked.

"You don't have to worry about this. Speaking of which, Ling Zhong is a few years older than your parents and two uncles. We didn't have time to care about them at that time. The brothers and sisters were all brought up by Ling Zhong, especially It's your mother. When I was a child, I loved riding on Ling Zhong's neck and being led around wildly by him. The relationship with Ling Zhong was even deeper than with your two uncles. When your parents died, Ling Zhong was greatly affected. I haven't recovered from the blow for a long time, and it's not my arrangement to let him follow you this time, but he proposed it himself."

Although Ling Zhongze didn't say it clearly, Ling Shaonan understood: the loyal uncle who never married and had no children poured all the feelings he had with his parents back then into himself.No wonder when he saw him for the first time, there was an uncontrollable excitement hidden deep in his eyes, and he had a very good attitude towards him. When he was in the Ling family, he almost left everything behind and stayed by his side all day , It was not easy to ask at the time, but now it is completely understood.

"If Grandpa is willing, and Uncle Zhong doesn't dislike it, of course I welcome it very much!" Ling Shaonan agreed straightforwardly. Speaking of which, someone like Ling Zhong who has served the Ling family for generations and has a deep relationship with the master's family is The most trustworthy thing is that Ling Shaonan doesn't need to worry about entrusting him with the job of housekeeper. He will definitely take care of everything in the house properly, and Ling Shaonan doesn't need to worry about it.

Although Ling Zhongze was already in his 70s, his personality was as aggressive as a young man's. After this matter was settled, he got up and left Ling Shaonan's study to find Ling Zhong.Now, only Ling Qiyan and Ling Shaonan are left in the study room, and Ling Qiyan has been ignoring ordinary things for decades, and has not said anything else to Ling Shaonan. The two are drinking tea, chatting casually about martial arts, Occasionally listening to Ling Qiyan tell some old news and stories in the martial arts is very pleasant.

After a while, when Du Shaoyan, Wei Shaoming and others personally accompanied Ling Yanzong and others to go shopping in the city, after the old couple Yu Weiguo also returned from the orphanage, the two families, or a family of dozens, They sat in the living room casually and chatted for a while, and they didn't go back to their rooms until late at night to rest.

The next day, after watching Ling Tian send Ling Zhongze and others to Luoyang in person at the airport, Ling Shaonan returned to the office on the top floor of Ling Tian Building, stood in front of the large French windows and looked into the distance, listening to Dalia report to himself About the investigation results of the Song family.In fact, this result was sorted out a few days ago, but Ling Shaonan didn't want it to disturb his reunion with his family, so it was delayed until today.

"The above is the basic situation of the Song family. Generally speaking, the power of the Song family is mainly divided into two parts. In terms of economics, the Song family controls 11 listed companies and 37 large-scale unlisted companies, with total assets of about 400 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of force, the Tiger Mercenary Corps, headquartered in Guinea in West Africa, has a total strength of more than 7000 people as the core. In addition, they also have 17 martial arts gyms in Southeast Asian countries. Among them, the Tiger Mercenary Corps After more than ten years of development, it has become a trend. They have almost completely controlled the political situation in Guinea, and even extended their tentacles to neighboring Sierra Leone. They are a powerful force that cannot be underestimated in West Africa. The specific details are here."

While speaking, Dalia put several intelligence summaries and a thick pile of detailed information on Ling Shaonan's desk.In the report just now, she fully demonstrated the professional qualities cultivated as a secret agent since she was a child. Her words were clean, without any subjective emotions, and she did not express any personal opinions, which was extremely objective.

"The mercenary group of nearly 2 people is not small, and it also controls one or two countries. This should be the Song family's greatest confidence and the way out for themselves." Ling Shaonan did not turn around, he The voice is very calm, but the tone is not a question, but an affirmation.

"According to the current evidence, it is indeed the case!" Dalia's voice was as stable as ever: "Of the warriors cultivated by the Song family over the years, more than [-]% are concentrated in the tiger mercenary group, including many direct descendants. Another [-]% of the children are scattered in Southeast Asia, and less than [-]% stay in the family. From this point of view, it is self-evident that the Song family attaches great importance to the Tiger Mercenary Corps. Moreover, they pay great attention to protecting those related to the Tiger Mercenary Corps. If it weren't for the fact that Mali, where the Wild Lion Mercenary Corps is located, borders Guinea, and the two sides have dealt with each other several times, and found some clues, it would be very difficult for us to find out the relationship between the Song family and the Tiger Mercenary Corps !"

Speaking of this, Dalia seemed to feel that the following words did not have sufficient evidence, and her tone changed slightly. After a slight pause, she continued: "According to our investigation, although the history of the Song family is less than 200 years old, But the inheritance can be traced back nearly 300 years ago. During the Yongzheng period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, an ancestor of the Song family was a fourth-rank military officer and participated in the Qing court’s campaign to exterminate Southern Shaolin. According to the Song family’s martial arts methods and other According to some information, we suspect that the ancestor of the Song family obtained a lot of martial arts secrets in Southern Shaolin, but he did not show it at the time, but resigned from office and returned to his hometown after a few years, and hibernated. Until nearly a hundred years later, The current situation was turbulent, and the Song family, who had accumulated savings for a long time, officially started their business through the opium business with the British.

After that, taking advantage of the turbulent situation in China for more than a hundred years, the Song family was a pirate, and was also involved in smuggling, drug trafficking, arms, and even buying and selling people.However, so far, they are still the largest smuggling group in the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, and there are also several pirates in the guise of "import and export companies" in Southeast Asia under their control.Therefore, the Song family's behavior of preparing their own way out is completely understandable. "

"They do understand the truth of 'the three caves of the cunning rabbit' very well, and they have prepared more than one way out. However, since they have offended me, how can they give them a chance to make a comeback?" Ling Shaonan's mouth curled into a cold smile, From this moment, or from the moment they colluded with foreign forces to deal with the Ling family, the fate of the Song family was already doomed.
