His Majesty Ling Lai's words were not only a huge blow to Xiao Zheng, but also a huge obstacle to Shang Jingtian's survival!
Leave a complete corpse?
Was it really appropriate to say such words in front of his father?
Shang Jingtian was anxious.
Based on the current situation, it was impossible for him to complete the inhumane feat of crippling Shang Yao. According to His Majesty Ling Lai's words, there was almost no chance for him to walk out of the palace alive.
With Xiao Zheng around, he had no chance to escape. What's more, who knew how many assassins and ninjas His Majesty Ling Lai had arranged in this crisis-ridden palace?
At least from his last secret inspection, he knew that this huge palace was not protected by the royal guards on the surface. There was also a group of ninjas who made a living by assassinations in secret!
With his current condition, even without Xiao Zheng's assassination, it would be difficult for him to leave.
After all, the backup he arranged had been secretly taken care of by His Majesty Ling Lai!
"Your Majesty!"
"Do you really want to bear the infamy of disregarding your biological father?"
Shang Jingtian was anxious.
He knew that the card in his hand was not that valuable. It could not support him to make those two requests.
"Boss Shang could even kill his own daughter, why should I disgrace the pride of the royal family for my father?" His Majesty Ling Lai glanced at Shang Jingtian. He said coldly.
These words were very suitable to be used on Shang Jingtian.
Yes.
You even risked your life to come to the palace to assassinate Shang Yao. It's not a big deal for me, the Emperor Ling Lai, to sacrifice my own father for the sake of my great ambition. After all, this is the palace!
It was the most devoid of conscience in the world!
Using the so-called kinship to make things difficult for me, the Emperor Ling Lai? I'm afraid that you, Shang Jingtian, have made a mistake!
"The conditions can be discussed again," said Shang Jingtian with a frown. "I can give up on Shang Yao, but Your Majesty must guarantee that I can leave this place safely."
"You have to ask Boss Xiao. After all, this is a grudge between the two of you, "King Ling Lai shrugged. "As long as Boss Xiao doesn't object, I don't mind."
Shang Jingtian couldn't help but stare at Xiao Zheng. "Boss Xiao, what do you think?"
"I can only guarantee your safe departure from the palace. But once you step out of the palace — "
"You better guarantee that I will return to my residence!" Shang Jingtian tightened his grip on the blade and questioned coldly, "Xiao Zheng! Do you want to kill His Majesty's father? "
Xiao Zheng frowned deeply. He was about to say, "What does Ling Lai's biological father have to do with me?"
However, this was the Imperial Palace, after all, and some words would be too unreasonable.
"Fine. Let him go, and I will let you go, "said Xiao Zheng calmly.
This was the only way out.
Otherwise, he would have to sacrifice Ling Lai's biological father to kill him. If he really did that, how could he face King Ling Lai who tried his best to protect Shang Yao?
After all, humans shouldn't be too selfish.
Just as the two of them reached an agreement, Ling Lai's father who had been silent all this while suddenly said, "Did no one ask for my opinion?"
Hmm?
Xiao Zheng was startled at first, then he looked at Ling Lai's father in disbelief.
Normally, hostages shouldn't have any other right to speak except for survival, right?
But at this moment, after Xiao Zheng and Shang Jingtian had reached an agreement, he actually took the initiative to ask such a question.
Ask for your opinion?
What else can you mean?
Other than listening to the bystander's decision and obediently escaping from death. What else can you do?
Do you want Shang Jingtian to commit suicide in front of you?
Xiao Zheng was a little confused.
King Ling Lai's eyes were also a little confused.
Of course, the most unbelievable one was Shang Jingtian.
He finally got a chance to live through the hostage in his hand, but the hostage jumped out and questioned —
"What's your opinion?" Shang Jingtian asked patiently.
"Not really," Ling Lai's father shook his head slightly, not caring about the dagger hanging on his neck. "I'm just thinking, if I die with you, will you not be so afraid? Boss Shang? "
Shang Jingtian's mouth twitched slightly, he said unhappily, "What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing. I told you before, I don't have any sense of presence in this huge palace. But if I can drag you to die with me, it might be the most meaningful thing I've ever done. " Maybe it will be the most meaningful thing I have ever done. "Ling Lai's father suddenly grabbed Shang Jingtian's arm that was holding the dagger.
In an instant, he showed his determination to die!
Shang Jingtian was stunned on the spot!
He had never seen an idiot who would commit suicide when he had a chance to live!
To Shang Jingtian, this person was 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 grabbed, Shang Jingtian took two steps back to prevent this idiot from dying under his dagger.
But in those two steps, he took a step back. That fellow, who had been eager to die, actually rolled on the ground and dashed out of the door!
He reacted and wanted to chase after him, but — Xiao Zheng was already standing inside the door expressionlessly with the dagger in his hand like a demon from hell!
"Boss Shang, since you don't want me to die with you, then —" Then … "Ling Lai's father said meticulously as he stood up again. "I'm leaving."
Then, he slowly walked to Ling Lai and pursed his lips. "It's not safe here. I'll send you back."
Ling Lai didn't move. She just stared at her father blankly. After a long time, she opened her red lips and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Yes. Of course I am. "Ling Lai's father nodded and then shook his head.
"Then why did you bet?" Ling Lai frowned. "Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"Shang Jingtian has a strong desire to live. I don't think he can kill me." Ling Lai's father smiled and said calmly. "Besides, with Boss Xiao here, I have a high chance of escaping."
"You could have escaped from his dagger." Ling Lai's father frowned. "His life or death has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me." Ling Lai's father paused and suddenly changed the topic. "But it has something to do with you."
"Hmm?" Ling Lai was puzzled. "What does it have to do with me?"
The reason why Shang Jingtian came this time was to bring Shang Yao away. Or to kill her on the spot.
If not for Ling Lai being entrusted by King Ling Lai to protect her, Shang Clan might not have anything to do with her.
Ling Lai's father didn't understand.
"Today, to survive, he can use me to threaten you. Tomorrow, is it possible that he will kill you for the sake of strength for those dignitaries who don't want you to sit in this position? "Ling Lai's father said word by word.
"This is my reason." Ling Lai's father said slowly. "I don't want those who can threaten you to exist. Even though it's hard, I will try my best. "
Her Majesty Ling Lai was stunned.
After a long time, she looked up and stared at Xiao Zheng's tall figure: "Boss Xiao, can you fulfill my father's wish?"
"My pleasure."
Clang!
Xiao Zheng raised his dagger and walked towards Shang Jingtian who was filled with despair!
