His Majesty Ling Lai's words not only had a huge impact on Xiao Zheng, but were also a huge obstacle to the businessman's survival!
Leave a whole body
Is it really appropriate to say such words in front of my father
The business world is in a hurry.
For now, it is obviously impossible for him to complete the inhumane feat of deposing Shang Yao. And according to what His Majesty Ling Lai said, his chances of even walking out of the palace alive were close to none.
With Xiao Zheng, he had no chance of escape. What's more, who knows how many assassins and ninjas His Majesty Ling Lai has arranged in this crisis-ridden palace
At least from his last secret inspection, he learned that this huge palace is not only protected by the royal guards on the surface, but also secretly supports a group of ninjas who make a living by assassinating!
In his current state, even without Xiao Zheng's interception, it would be difficult for him to leave.
After all, the backup plan and rescue arrangements he arranged have been secretly solved by His Majesty Ling Lai!
"His Majesty!"
"Do you really want to bear the reputation of neglecting your biological father?"
The business world is in a hurry.
He knew that the card in his hand did not have much value. Nor could he support his two requests.
"Boss Shang can even kill his own daughter, so why should I insult the pride of the royal family for the sake of my father?" His Majesty Ling Lai glanced sideways at Shang Jingtian. He said coldly.
These words could not be more appropriate when applied to Shang Jingtian.
yes.
You even came to the palace to assassinate Shang Yao regardless of danger. It is not a big deal for me, Emperor Ling Lai, to sacrifice my own father for the sake of my great cause. You know - this is the palace!
This is the most conscience-free place in the world!
Are you using so-called family ties to make things difficult for me, Emperor Ling Lai? I'm afraid that you, Shang Jingtian, have made the wrong calculation!
"The conditions can still be negotiated." Shang Jingtian frowned and said. "I don't need Shang Yao, but your Majesty will ensure that I leave here safely."
"You have to ask Boss Xiao about this. After all, this is the grudge between you." His Majesty Ling Lai shrugged. "As long as Boss Xiao doesn't object, I don't care."
Hearing this, Shang Jingtian couldn't help but stare directly at Xiao Zheng: "Boss Xiao, what do you think?"
"I can only guarantee that you leave the palace safely. But as long as you leave the palace gate-"
"You'd better ensure that I return to my apartment!" Shang Jingtian tightened the blade in his hand and asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Zheng! Are you going to kill His Majesty's biological father?"
Xiao Zheng's brows were furrowed. He was about to forcefully say something: "What does Ling Lai's biological father have to do with me?"
But this is the palace after all, and some of the things you say seem too unkind.
"Okay. You let him go, and I'll let you go." Xiao Zheng said calmly.
There is no other way.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to kill Ling Lai's biological father at the expense of him. If you really do that, how will you face His Majesty Ling Lai who is trying his best to protect Shang Yao's safety
People, after all, can't be too selfish.
Just when the two of them had reached an agreement, Ling Lai's father, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Hasn't anyone ever asked me what I meant?"
Um
Xiao Zheng was startled at first, and then looked at Ling Lai's father in disbelief.
Generally speaking, hostages should not have any other say other than survival, right
But at this moment, after Xiao Zheng and Shang Jingtian had reached a consensus, he actually took the initiative to raise such a question -
What do you mean
What else can you mean
In addition to obeying the decisions of the bystanders and escaping from death obediently. What else
Is it possible that Shang Jingtian will die in front of you
Xiao Zheng was a little confused.
His Majesty Ling Lai's eyes were also slightly confused.
Of course, the most incredible one is Shang Jingtian.
He finally got a chance to survive through the hostage in his hand, but at this moment, the hostage jumped out and questioned-
"What do you have in mind?" Shang Jingtian asked patiently.
"It's not a high opinion." Ling Lai's father shook his head slightly, not caring about the dagger hanging around his neck, and pursed his lips. "I'm just wondering, if I die with you, you won't be so scared. Boss Shang?"
The corners of Shang Jingtian's mouth twitched slightly, and he said displeasedly: "What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing. I've told you a long time ago that I have no sense of presence in this huge palace. But if I can drag you, Boss Shang, to die with me, it may be the most meaningful thing I have ever done." After Ling Lai's father said this, he suddenly grabbed Shang Jingtian's arm holding the dagger.
In an instant, his determination to die was revealed!
Shang Jingtian was shocked on the spot!
He has never seen an idiot commit suicide even though he had a chance to survive!
For Shang Jingtian, this person is his last trump card to leave the palace alive. How could Shang Jingtian let him die in his own hands
The moment his arm was caught by the opponent, Shang Jingtian suddenly took two steps back to prevent this idiot from actually dying under his dagger.
But just those two steps, he stepped back, and the guy who was still eager to die actually rolled on the spot and rushed out of the gate!
He reacted and wanted to chase after him, but Xiao Zheng was already standing inside the door with an expressionless face, holding a blade, like a devil from hell!
"Boss Shang, since you don't want me to accompany you to death. Then -" Ling Lai's biological father stood up again and said meticulously. "I'll just take my leave."
After that, he slowly came to His Majesty Ling Lai, pursed his lips and said, "It's not safe here, I'll take you back."
His Majesty Ling Lai did not move, she just stared at her father blankly. After a long moment, she opened her red lips and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid. Of course I'm afraid." Ling Lai's father nodded, then shook his head.
"Then why are you betting?" His Majesty Ling Lai frowned. "Aren't you afraid of missing something?"
"Shang Jingtian has a strong desire to survive. He shouldn't be able to kill me." Ling Lai's father smiled and said very calmly. "Besides, with Boss Xiao present, I have a great chance of escaping."
"You could have escaped from his blade safely." His Majesty Ling Lai frowned. "Whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with you."
"It really has nothing to do with me." Ling Lai's father paused, then suddenly changed the subject. "But it has something to do with you."
"Huh?" His Majesty Ling Lai was quite puzzled. "What does it have to do with me?"
Shang Jingtian came here to take Shang Yao away. Or, kill them on the spot.
If His Majesty Ling Lai had not been entrusted with protecting her safety, the merchant might never have anything to do with her in this life.
His Majesty Ling Lai did not understand what his father said.
"Today, in order to survive, he can use me to threaten you. Tomorrow, is it possible that he will kill you for the sake of strength on behalf of the powerful people who don't want you to sit in this position?" Ling Lai's father said every word.
"This is my reason." Ling Lai's father said slowly. "I don't want those powerful people who can threaten you to exist. Although it is difficult, I will try my best to do it."
His Majesty Ling Lai was stunned.
After a long time, she slowly raised her eyes and looked straight at Xiao Zheng's tall back: "Boss Xiao, can you fulfill this wish for my father?"
"Extremely happy."
Keng!
Xiao Zheng raised his blade and strode towards Shang Jingtian, who looked desperate!
