Xiao Lin's bedroom.
Shang Tian silently walked to Xiao Lin's bedside, and looking at the sleeping person on the bed, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Lin, I will take your dog's life today." With that, he pulled out a dagger from his hand and stabbed at Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin woke up with a start, and looking at the face he had been longing for for so long, a lewd smile crept onto his lips. "The beauty is here again."
Damn it.
Shang Tian now wished he could kill him. "Today, I will take your life."
After speaking, the dagger stabbed down, but Xiao Lin rolled over to avoid a fatal blow.
The pain of a sharp weapon piercing his flesh instantly brought him to his senses. He looked coldly at Shang Tian and asked, "How did you get here?"
"If you can send a large army to kill me, why can't I be here?" He paused, then said, "Xiao Lin, prepare to die." With that, he was about to stab Xiao Lin with his dagger again.
Xiao Lin rolled out of bed, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Shang Tian and said, "Chang An hasn't arrived in Jizhou yet, how did you get the news?"
Before Shang Tian could speak, he added, "You are not familiar with anyone in the court."
It's Chang An.
Seeing his certainty, Shang Tian sneered, "You can even slander your loyal subjects, what else are you incapable of doing?"
Seeing him speak up for Chang An, Xiao Lin became even more certain of his own thoughts.
What do you want?
What does he want?
Shang Tian chuckled, "Of course I want you to die."
He cannot rest in peace until he dies.
But now is not the time.
Shang Tian took a deep breath, raised his dagger, and stabbed at Xiao Lin again.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Lin quickly said, "Whatever you want, I can give it to you."
Shang Tian paused, looked coldly at Xiao Lin, and asked, "What can you give me?"
He wants his dog's life, would he really hand it over with both hands?
Or will he atone with the empire?
Seeing Shang Tian's increasingly cold gaze, Xiao Lin quickly said, "I can appoint you as a king, and from now on, Jizhou will be your fiefdom."
There is a difference between establishing oneself as a king and being appointed as a king.
Moreover, the difference is quite significant.
Shang Tian looked coldly at Xiao Lin and sneered, "If the world were a hole, do you think I would care?"
Xiao Lin looked at Shang Tian with great surprise. Even if there were thousands or hundreds of holes in the world, there would still be a bunch of people who wanted to take advantage of them.
Why doesn't Shang Tian want it?
What is he after?
Xiao Lin took a deep breath and asked, "Then what do you want?"
He already had an effeminate appearance, and now he looks even more frightening.
Shang Tian chuckled, "Then let's see what you can offer in exchange for your life."
He figured Xiao Lin wouldn't give him what he wanted, so he might as well see what Xiao Lin had to offer.
Xiao Lin took a deep breath. "I will immediately issue an imperial decree to appoint you as the King of Jizhou and grant you a thousand taels of silver."
silver?
What use is silver now?
Shang Tian nodded calmly and said, "Add another three hundred shi of grain."
"Shang Tian, don't push your luck."
Shang Tian chuckled and said, "I've been here for so long, yet you haven't called anyone." He looked at Xiao Lin, who was dressed in his nightgown, and asked indifferently, "Is it because you have no one to call, or are you afraid to call?"
Could it be that there are zombies in this palace too?
Xiao Lin, whose sore spot had been hit, said, "...I'm much more useful alive than dead."
"What use are you to me?" So, from the very beginning, Shang Tian never intended to kill Xiao Lin; he was just trying to scare him.
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said, "You want to kill me, but only to avenge your father. However, I am not the one who harmed your father."
