When Shang Jingtian threw down the blunt knife, he had already lost his own vitality.
With the knife in hand, he could at least fight Xiao Zheng.
At this moment, he had lost the possibility of survival.
This is probably why the more you care about something, the easier it is to lose it.
If he were a little more ruthless and decisive, he might not let Ling Lai's father run away.
Precisely because he was too desperate for survival, he let the helpless guy go!
At the moment, he could only face Xiao Zheng, who was full of murderous intent, in pain and struggle.
And—he has no will to fight at all!
"Boss Shang, you probably would never have thought that you would die here, and I would die so aggrieved, right?" Xiao Zheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he kept approaching Shang Jingtian.
"Xiao Zheng, we can negotiate terms." How could a middle-aged and elderly man who had lost his will to fight and knew that he had no way of escape be the opponent of a young man in his early thirties
And this young man is murderous!
Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused: "You have no conditions that I must accept."
"This time, I really quit. Leave everything to Shang Yao. She can do whatever she wants, and I won't interfere anymore." Shang Jingtian stepped back, fear written on his face.
"You lied to me once, I won't be fooled twice." Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused.
"I can go far away. Even never return to China." Seeing that Xiao Zheng refused to agree, Shang Jingtian continued. "Are you relieved now?"
"I can rest assured that you are dead." As soon as Xiao Zheng finished speaking, Shang Jingtian, who was originally full of despair, suddenly took out his sword!
Like an assassin living in the darkness, he suddenly stabbed Xiao Zheng in the heart!
The knife was fast, hard, and without warning. If Xiao Zheng hadn't been so outstanding on the spot, he might have been stabbed to death by him!
But it's a pity that Xiao Zheng had already countered all Shang Jingtian's sneak attacks. A backhand sword repulsed Shang Jingtian's offensive with a clang. Taking advantage of the situation, it was a dragon raising its head!
Roar!
The dragon's roar suddenly sounded, and the living room was illuminated by a cold light!
And Shang Jingtian's thin figure also left a huge black shadow on the wall.
Phew!
A pool of blood sprayed on the wall, and Shang Jingtian covered his neck in pain. The blood, which was like paint, crazily emerged from the fingers.
"you-"
Shang Jingtian staggered backwards and finally fell to his knees softly.
He breathed heavily, trying to buy a few more seconds of life from this world that no longer belonged to him. But no matter how hard he breathed, there was always less air coming in and more air coming out.
Within more than ten seconds, Shang Jingtian finally gave up resistance. Let the constant coldness erode you. Not long after, his body became numb and he lost consciousness.
Xiao Zheng calmly glanced at Shang Jingtian who was lying in a pool of blood.
Xiao Zheng did not get any satisfaction from killing this old fox who had been with him for many years. Even, I didn't feel relieved.
He just thinks that it would be better for him and everyone if Shang Jingtian died. Only then would he have the idea of killing Shang Jingtian.
Unlike before, he was always so happy to take revenge. You would do that if you have a grudge against someone or if you are unhappy with someone.
This essential difference actually deprives him of the happiness of gratification and revenge to some extent. But he knows that this is life now, and it is what he must face in the future.
When he turned back, Xiao Zheng caught a glimpse of Ling Lai and his daughter who were calmly watching him finish all this.
They couldn't see anything strange at all, as if they were watching Xiao Zheng eat a meal. The same calmness, the same indifference, the same numbness.
Perhaps these two people living in the palace have long been numb to killing. I also understand very well that losers often end up dead.
The reason why His Majesty Ling Lai is so ruthless is, after all, isn't it because he has been used to such dirty things since he was a child
"Your Majesty, I think I need to borrow your medical team." Xiao Zheng slightly shook his severely fractured left arm.
His Majesty Ling Lai nodded slightly and said, "No problem."
After saying that, she turned back to her subordinates and said, "Take Boss Xiao to the infirmary."
"It's Your Majesty."
Xiao Zheng, however, was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he said with some concern: "Miss Shang's side—"
"I will go there, Boss Xiao, don't worry." His Majesty Ling Lai explained. "Besides, I think I have the most say. After all, I personally executed my mother."
Xiao Zheng nodded, turned and left.
His steps were a little heavy, but he knew that he just did what he should and must do.
Shang Jing was uneasy because he was destined to die. I don’t know how many more people this old fox will harm, how many people he cares about and cares about.
Shang Yao is one of them.
Of course, this also includes His Majesty Ling Lai.
After His Majesty Ling Lai watched Xiao Zheng leave, a rather solemn look appeared on his face. He sighed softly and said to his father, "You should also rest."
"I can't sleep because something like this happened." Ling Lai's father shook his head and said slowly. "You go and accompany Miss Shang, and I'll deal with the aftermath."
His Majesty Ling Lai nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
After that, she pushed the wheelchair and left under the care of her entourage.
But before she had gone far, she couldn't help but look back and said, "I was just scaring him, I didn't really want to leave."
"I know." Ling Lai's father nodded. "Even if it's true, it's okay. You are His Majesty the Emperor, and I am just an insignificant little person."
His Majesty Ling Lai opened his mouth, but in the end there was no explanation.
As Ling Lai's father said, she is His Majesty the Emperor, and there are always many things that are far more important than family ties.
And eradicating those who challenge the dignity of the imperial power is one of them.
When His Majesty Ling Lai came to Shang Yao's room, Shang Yao was sitting at the table drinking tea.
She couldn't sleep and was more nervous than ever.
She was not relieved, and she knew she was very pessimistic.
When His Majesty Ling Lai appeared in her room, she knew the result.
Because there was a touch of sadness on His Majesty's face, as well as a hint of comfort that she had never seen before.
"he-"
"Dead." His Majesty Ling Lai answered what Shang Yao wanted to say. "Cut it all off with one knife."
Shang Yao paused while drinking tea, and countless sorrows and sorrows emerged in his heart. But said nothing.
"You can go home with peace of mind and take charge of the Yan family and the merchants." His Majesty Ling Lai said slowly. “Whatever your business ambitions are, you can successfully execute them.”
Shang Yao took a deep breath of cold air and looked up at His Majesty Ling Lai: "Did Your Majesty feel the same way after he killed his mother?"
"Almost." His Majesty Ling Lai said and added another sentence. "It's a similar situation."
Shang Yao stared straight at His Majesty Ling Lai and asked, "Have you never regretted it?"
"Why do you regret it?" His Majesty Ling Lai asked.
"Because - he is our dearest person." Shang Yao said bitterly. The mood is extremely heavy.
"I don't know if he is the person closest to you. But she has never been the person closest to me." His Majesty Ling Lai asked. "Otherwise, why would I kill her?"
Otherwise, why didn't you stop Xiao Zheng from killing your father. Use your life to stop it
Because - you have recognized this result!
