"Hahahaha..." King Yunhai laughed wildly, "Want to know who helped us? Only if you release me and my children!"
"Looks like you really do have someone to help! Sorry, I don't want to know who it is. I just want to know that someone is helping you!" Lu Zheng said, about to take action.
"Stop! Stop!" King Yunhai shouted. How come young people these days are so different from when he was young? Who kills someone without asking questions first? "I'll tell you, but I hope you agree to one condition. Don't worry, it's not about letting me go."
“Speak!” Lu Zheng said.
"Release my children! I'll tell you who gave us the ship and where we're going!" King Yunhai said gravely.
"Impossible." Lu Zheng refused without hesitation, looking at the changed expression on Yunhai Wang's face, and continued, "However, I can spare one. As far as I know, besides Ajir, you have four other children, right? One died of illness on the way, and now you have three. You choose, who do you want to spare?"
"Hmph! Agil is too powerful. Are you afraid to release her for fear she will make a comeback?" King Yunhai provoked Lu Zheng.
"Choose one. This is your last chance. If you bring up other people again, I won't say anything more," Lu Zheng said calmly.
King Yunhai glared at Lu Zheng with hatred.
"Alright, have someone send Amlin away." King Yunhai finally conceded.
"Fine, but don't try anything funny. I can have someone send him away, and I can still have someone intercept him!" Lu Zheng kicked Yun Haiwang away, then stepped forward and severed his tendons. He then ordered the people next to him to bring Yun Haiwang's tenth son, Amlin, over.
Amlin was nine years old and looked chubby. Lu Zheng let him choose two people, gave him a bag of gold coins, and let the three of them leave.
“Speak, I can make him leave, and I can make him come back.” Lu Zheng approached King Yunhai and asked.
"We call this sea the Western Sea, and there is a Western Sea Kingdom on the other side of the sea. It was their people who helped us," said King Yunhai.
"Why should I help you?" Lu Zheng asked again.
“Because my ancestors fled from there, and they have a token. As long as we have the token, the people there have to do us a favor. Please let Amlin go. He’s taking two people to the Western Sea Kingdom with just a bag of gold coins, barely enough for his own survival. The Western Sea Kingdom values peace, and crossing the sea takes two months. Even if you let Amlin go, he might not be able to reach the Western Sea Kingdom smoothly. So…” King Yunhai felt like he was about to die, but he was speaking to Lu Zheng with genuine sincerity.
“Since I’ve said it, I can do it. King Yunhai, is there anything else you want to say? If not, I’ll give you a quick death!” Lu Zheng sensed that King Yunhai didn’t know much, so he didn’t ask any more questions and stood up to say this.
"If, if I had forced you to become Agil's son-in-law back then, would you have run away or agreed?" King Yunhai asked Lu Zheng.
"I won't run away, and of course, I won't agree. I'll only make your Yunhai Kingdom even more chaotic, so you won't be in the mood to choose a consort!" After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he stabbed down with his knife.
He felt somewhat bewildered. Agil had never shown any intention of choosing him as his son-in-law. This old man must have seen through his relationship with Xin Xin. Even on his deathbed, he was trying to stab him in the back. How insidious!
