He glanced at the woman who brought the food and asked indifferently, "Where did A-Qian go?"
"It should be on the wall over by the gate."
Shang Tian nodded, told the woman to put down the food, quickly finished his lunch, and then walked towards the gate.
He stood under the wall, looking at Su Qian's lonely figure, and his heart ached. He strode up to her and called out, "Qian."
Su Qian didn't turn her head, but simply said, "Sit."
Shang Tian sat down beside her. "What are you looking at?"
"you."
Upon hearing Su Qian's words, Shang Tian didn't react for a moment, "What?"
Su Qian turned to look at him and said, "I'm looking at you."
Shang Tian was puzzled and looked in the direction Su Qian was looking; that was the territory he had been fighting for recently.
"A-Qian." Shang Tian couldn't help but call out. He reached out and pulled Su Qian into his arms, looking at the area with her. "Soon, we will be able to take over the entire Ji Province."
Su Qian pushed him away and said coldly, "This is not your business alone."
Even though zombies are wreaking havoc on the entire continent, Shang Tian always goes out to kill zombies alone.
It's as if this is something that only concerns him.
Shang Tian shook his head. "But they are too weak."
Su Qian sneered, "So what if you're weak? Survival of the fittest. Why do you insist on bearing the responsibility for everyone else all by yourself?"
Actually, she was angry. If she hadn't arrived in time yesterday, Shang Tian would have had to sleep with the zombies after killing them.
That stinks!
(＃￣～￣＃)
Shang Tian still hesitated, "That would result in a lot of casualties."
The sudden outbreak of the apocalypse has already drastically reduced the population.
If war causes another population decline, it may very well lead to the extinction of humanity.
"A grain of rice brings gratitude, but a bushel of rice breeds resentment. Are you sure you want to support them?"
Shang Tian didn't say anything more, but when he went out the next day, he took some people from the village with him.
Later, every time he cleared out a place and settled people in, he would ask strong laborers to go with him to kill zombies, and those who refused would be thrown out of Jizhou territory.
And so, they cleaned up Jizhou little by little.
To the north of Jizhou lies the settlement of the Li tribe, to the west is the Song capital, to the south is Linhai City, and to the east is the sea.
Shang Tian stared silently at the map of the entire continent before him.
The quickest way for him to conquer this country would be to march directly into the Song capital.
But he can't do that.
If he did that, the various feudal lords would have an excuse to rebel, and they would surely unite to attack him.
Outnumbered, his fate is predictable.
In chaotic times, no one cares how one seizes the throne. Once on the throne, all rivals are eliminated, and history is written according to one's own will.
Looking at the map before him, Old Wang frowned slightly and said, "The Li Clan is not to be trifled with."
The Li people are a minority group and have always been united.
If we don't attack Songdu, and we don't attack the Li tribe, then there's only one option left—Linhai City.
Shang Tian nodded. "Are there any powerful figures in Linhai City?"
Old Wang thought about it carefully and said, "The city lord of Linhai City has three sons, and the third son is quite formidable."
"oh?"
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to continue, Old Wang then said, "The city lord of Linhai City is surnamed Peng. His ancestors were brothers who fought alongside Emperor Taizu to conquer the world."
This Lord Peng, unlike his ancestor, was not as formidable; he was preoccupied with romance and pleasure.
His first wife was his childhood sweetheart, a talented woman who captivated him.
