But there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Seeing Shang Tian's serious expression, Peng San couldn't help but smile slightly. "City Lord Shang, are you serious?"

If you're willing...

He was naturally delighted, finally free from having to approve official documents every day.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

If he were to offer up the entire city directly, Shang Tian would probably have doubts, wouldn't he?

It's better to... squeeze him for money!

(′▽`??)

The two men shared the same idea, and Shang Tian, ​​not wanting to mince words, said directly, "I am interested, but I don't know what Brother Peng wants."

If possible, let's talk.

If that doesn't work, then fight.

Beat them until they submit.

Peng San smiled and said, "I see there's still a lot of vacant land next to Shangjia Village. Why don't you build me a castle like Shangjia Village, Brother Shang?"

How can one allow others to sleep peacefully beside one's bed?

Shang Tian looked coldly at Peng San and said indifferently, "Brother Peng is joking."

Seeing Shang Tian's cold expression, Peng San's expression softened. He was also the lord of a city, and there was no need for him to be subservient to Shang Tian.

"To be honest, Brother Shang, although Linhai City can be entrusted to you, you have quite a few wives, concubines and servants in your household."

He also needs a place to settle down.

The servants who remained were all loyal to him to the death; how could he allow them to end up with nowhere to live?

Shang Tian understood what he meant. "The city wall is about the same size as Shangjia Village, but a kilometer further away. As for the size..." Shang Tian shook his head and said, "Jizhou and Linhai City only have one master."

Due to their different social statuses, Peng San's residence naturally cannot be compared to that of Shangjia Village.

Peng San thought for a moment and said, "I have thirty servants in my household, and the courtyard needs houses for us to live in, as well as enough land for us to survive."

The request wasn't unreasonable. Shang Tian thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Linhai City changed hands in just a few words. Peng San, relieved of his burden, was overjoyed, but he only wore a faint smile on his face and asked, "I wonder when the houses will be completed?"

Shang Tian thought for a moment and said, "This matter still needs to be discussed with my wife."

Peng San: "..."⊙0⊙

What happened to her gentle nature?

Why are you meddling in men's affairs? Peng San couldn't help but ask, "I've heard that Madam Shang is gentle and generous. I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet her?"

His question was extremely inappropriate.

Shang Tian stared at him coldly, remaining silent.

As soon as he said it, Peng San knew he was in trouble. He quickly explained, "A few days ago, my servant saved Madam Shang's cousin, Miss Lin. I heard her say that Madam is a rare and gentle person in the world."

A rare and gentle person in this world?

Peng San's guards couldn't hold back any longer and bumped into him. "My Lord, please stop explaining!"

He feared that if his city lord continued to explain, none of them would be able to return.

Shang Tian looked at him coldly and said, "Who is this gossipy Miss Lin who mentioned my wife in front of other men?"

Peng San quickly pointed to Lin Shi and said, "This is the one."

Lin stepped forward gracefully, her figure as slender as a willow. She bowed slightly to Shang Tian and said, "Greetings, Lord Shang."

"I heard you know Asahi?"

Madam Lin nodded slightly and said softly, "I've met my cousin a few times when I was at home."

"Oh." Shang Tian nodded, then asked casually, "Is it you who's been telling everyone that A-Qian is gentle?"

Damn it, that shameless woman who tries to claim kinship with anyone.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Su Qian defeated everyone by virtue of her martial arts skills.

If A-Qian finds out about this, won't they all get beaten up again?
