"How about we lay down our weapons?"
As Shang Tian watched them discuss, a slight smile crept onto his lips. This Chang Xiao was indeed a useful person.
At least it's more useful than Chang'an. They've been trapped here for so long, and Chang'an hasn't said a word yet.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Shang Tian continued, "We went to great lengths to save you in the past, and we will certainly not harm you today."
The reason for burning corpses was to prevent the spread of plague.
I'm sure many of you have noticed that quite a few people around you are experiencing symptoms like fever and vomiting. These are all early signs of an epidemic. If it's not controlled in time, many of you may get infected.
The source of this plague was these corpses.
Shang Tian stopped talking at this point.
Chang Xiao stepped onto the stage and continued to retort, "Young Master has been suffering from poor eating and sleeping day and night for your sake, and yet you still want to kill him."
Where are your faces?
"If it weren't for you, young master, you might have died a few days ago."
He turned to look at Shang Tian and said, "Young master, since they are unwilling, we will not interfere. Anyway, there is nothing good about Linhai City."
"We can return after everyone in that city has died of illness; it won't matter."
"You heartless bastard, you're trying to force us to die!"
Young master, please don't abandon us.
You can ask us to do anything.
"Yes, please, young master."
Shang Tian was quite satisfied with the situation. He said calmly, "Then everyone put down your weapons, stop the manpower, and start clearing out Linhai City."
Everyone who helps will be provided with three meals a day.
"Many more young masters."
Once the situation stabilized, Shang Tian handed the matter over to Wenzi and pulled Su Qian to a secluded spot. "Why are you here?"
Su Qian frowned and looked at him, saying, "Didn't you send me?"
Seeing how nervous the mosquito looked, she thought something serious had happened.
Shang Tian shook his head. "Why would I let you come?"
Everything is under my control.
He lowered his voice and said, "I'm just waiting for Chang Xiao to speak."
After all, they are outsiders, so we need to test them first before we feel at ease.
They were talking about Chang Xiao, but Chang Xiao was pulled aside by Chang An. "What happened to you just now?"
Chang Xiao said very honestly, "Young Master is our master, so it's only right that we protect him."
Chang An frowned, but did not say that he was wrong. He only said, "But if you do this, you'll just become a target for others."
Chang Xiao chuckled. "Father, I am loyal to the young master. So what if I am a target?"
The young master will always protect me.
But if I don't step forward, what use am I to you, sir?
Chang An looked at him with a complicated expression, "I am your father, can't I protect you?"
Why should we rely on the young master?
Chang Xiao didn't want to say it; what he was about to say was too hurtful.
His father couldn't protect him, otherwise how could his son have died?
They only told him to be humble, but he was humble about everything, even his son's life. He really couldn't accept it.
If it weren't for his mother, he would have left with his wife long ago.
"Xiao'er, are you hiding something from me?"
Looking into Chang An's eyes, Chang Xiao could no longer hide it. "My mother plans to divorce my father. I will go with my mother and will no longer be able to serve my father."
"You...you all..." Chang An pointed at him, speechless. This was his son, the son he had painstakingly raised.
