Creak — —
The heavy wooden door of the woodshed was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cold wind swept in. Li Shinian couldn't help shrinking her neck, and wrapped her tattered clothes tighter around her.
Wind City was located in the northern frontier of the Empire. The wind here was colder than Tiandu, and the snow was heavier than Tiandu. Every time the cold wind blew, it was like a fine knife was scraping his face and body.
Li Shinian had just arrived and was not used to the environment here. His face was dry, and there were several cracks on the back of his hands and lips. It was only after smearing some golden-eyed snake ointment that he felt better.
Li Shinian hated the weather of Wind City.
He also hated everything about Wind City.
Lu Lin stood at the door of the woodshed, looking at Li Shinian sitting on the cold floor, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but draw a smile.
Before the smile could blossom on his face, he heard his own hissing sound of breathing.
Lu Lin covered his red and swollen cheek, yelling: "Li Shinian, you really refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I didn't want to hurt you. If you hadn't suddenly attacked me like crazy, you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. "
"I hate that I didn't kill you with that punch." Li Shinian stared coldly at Lu Lin, his voice fierce.
"Kill me? If your punch had hit me, you most likely wouldn't be alive now, right? "
"What's the difference between being dead and now?"
"Of course there's a difference." Lu Lin walked over to in front of Li Shinian, looking around at the harsh environment of the woodshed, and then sighed softly. "It's not too late to regret it now. I'll give you another chance, as long as you are willing to be my woman — — "
"Pah." Li Shinian rudely interrupted Lu Lin. "Are you worthy?"
"You little slut — —" Lu Lin's face was pale. "Who do you think you are? You're just the daughter of a servant. I am the future Lord of Wind City, the rising political star of the empire. After this matter, our bloodline will be valued even more by the royal family … How am I not worthy of you? "
"From head to toe, every single strand of hair on your head, every single thread on your clothes is not good enough for me," Li Shinian said viciously. "Lu Lin, you and your son are traitors. How can you face the ancestors of the Lu family? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? "
"Struck by lightning?" Lu Lin laughed wildly. He pointed to the sky above his head and said, "If the heavens really think that we are wrong, then let the lightning strike me … let the lightning strike me …"
Rumble …
There was a rumble in the sky, as if something was about to explode.
Unfortunately, it was only a clap of thunder in the end, and it quickly disappeared.
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed again and said, "Did you hear that? The thunder flew over my head, why didn't it strike me? This proves that it also feels that we made the right choice. "
"Do you think we want to do such a thing? Do you think we want to betray Lu Xingkong? If it wasn't for that old guy's stubbornness, would our Lu family fall into such a predicament? If Father hadn't contacted them in time, the Lu family's base in Wind City would have been wiped out? At that time, the Lu family would have been completely wiped out — — all of this was brought by Lu Xingkong. "
"Lu Xingkong is loyal to the Emperor and loves his country. Lu Xingkong wants to be a famous minister throughout the ages, but we are not willing to accompany him with our lives — — you saw the result? Lu Xingkong died in battle, and the Lu family in Tiandu was eradicated by the Song family in a thunderous manner. They were hunted down like stray dogs, and then were beheaded one by one — — This is the bad luck and disaster that the old guy brought to the Lu family. "
Lu Lin's expression was arrogant as he laughed maniacally and shouted, "Tell me, why should we die with them?"
"Evil people can find thousands of high-sounding excuses for the evil they have done." Li Shinian said with a look of disdain. "The Heavenly Lightning didn't strike you because it was afraid that you would dirty its own lightning … Shout a little louder and see if the Heavenly Lightning will strike you."
"Let the lightning strike me — — let the lightning strike me — —" Lu Lin raised his voice to the sky.
The guard at the door heard this and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
The servant girl outside heard this and hurriedly lowered her head to stare at her toes.
The dogs in the yard heard it and opened their mouths to bark in response.
"Idiot." Li Shinian's cracked lips spat out these two words.
"Li Shinian — —" Lu Lin's expression suddenly turned crazy and terrifying, and even his eyes turned blood-red. "I am willing to stand here and let you make fun of me, because I care about you. If I turn around and leave now, do you know what your fate is? You will be locked in this woodshed without food or water until you freeze to death — — "
"Then let me freeze to death." Li Shinian said in a low voice.
Thinking of all the rumors she had heard, the little girl's eyes became moist.
"Grandpa Lu died in battle, the Lu Family disappeared. Uncle Lu escaped with my brother, and their whereabouts are unknown … Father and mother were thrown into the dungeon by you, and most of Uncle Xu and the rest were killed by you … What am I still alive for? "
"You don't have to die."
"Living is more painful than dying, so why can't I die?"
"You — —"
"Lu Lin, do you still not understand?"
"Understand what?"
"I don't like you." Li Shinian said aloud: "I vomit when I see you, I feel disgusted … From the first time I saw you, when you appeared in front of me with a fake smile, I started to hate you. I didn't expose you at that time because you were a member of the Lu Family. I had to give face to the Lu Family. Now that you have betrayed the Lu Family and become a beast worse than pigs and dogs — — I have no reason to hide my attitude towards you. "
"Lu Lin, you are a clown."
"Li Shinian — —" Lu Lin's eyes were bloodshot, glaring at Li Shinian with a ferocious expression. "You're not afraid I'll kill you?"

"Let him out." Li Muyang glared fiercely at Song Gudu. "As long as he goes out, this deal can go on. If they hurt a strand of Li Shinian's hair, I will fight you — — even if I die, I will never let you know the secret of the Dragon clan's longevity. "
Song Gudu waved his hand, and the black ball of light fell into his palm.
The light curtain disappeared, and Li Muyang also lost the news of Li Shinian.
Song Gudu tucked the black ball of light into his sleeve, looked at Li Muyang and said, "You have seen that Miss Shinian is safe and sound, but what will happen next — — is not something I can control."
"You despicable and shameless — —"
"Despicable?" Song Gudu impatiently interrupted Li Muyang's abuse. "I don't care about that. Li Muyang, what's your answer? "
"— —" Li Muyang remained silent.
He did not want to make this deal with Song Gudu, and even more did not want him to know the secret of the Dragon clan's longevity.
However, if he did not make this deal, then the safety of his parents and Li Shinian would most likely be — —
"Let go of my parents and sister, and all the people of the Lu clan that you captured." Li Muyang looked at Song Gudu, trying to bargain with him. "I'll tell you the secret of the Dragon clan's longevity — — hundreds of years of life in exchange for the lives of a few people, it should be a very good deal for you, right?"
"Li Muyang, you're lying to me." Song Gudu calmly looked at Li Muyang. "You never thought about making this deal with me, you just wanted to use the delaying method to save your parents and family and the people of the Lu clan — — how do you think such a clumsy method can deceive my eyes?"
"How would I know that if I told you the secret of the Dragon clan's longevity, you would turn around and kill us all — —"
"I am willing to swear on my honour — —"
"A man who had just killed the Emperor and committed a great crime wants to swear on his honour — — who would believe it?"
"Do you have a better idea?"
"According to what I just said, let go of my parents and family and all the people of the Lu clan that you captured. You guarantee their safety, and I promise to give you the secret of the Dragon clan's longevity — — If I deceive you, where can I run to in this vast starry sky?"
"I have a simpler solution." Song Gudu said.
"What?"
Song Gudu stretched out his hand and clutched Li Muyang's neck.
It was a very strange thing. They were clearly very far apart, but in order to guard against Song Gudu's sudden attack, Li Muyang had been in a state of vigilance and dared not get too close to him.
However, when he stretched out his hand, it was still so simple and easy to grasp Li Muyang's neck — —
It was as if Li Muyang's neck had been waiting for him.
Li Muyang had no room to fight back at all, and even his' Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain 'could not be displayed.
He had been preparing and planning in his mind, thinking that if Song Gudu suddenly used a killing move, he would first use the 'Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain', the movement technique of the Dragon clan to evade, and then give a fierce counterattack.
"How could this be?"
"Either make a deal with me or let me kill you." Song Gudu's skinny face was close at hand, his eyes as deep as the galaxy at night. "Isn't this simpler?"
