Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 604 People from Xiling
Tang Jing frowned, threw down the sword angrily, and asked coldly, "Who the hell are you?!"

The man smiled and said, "Me? I am naturally the one who can help the prince get the throne."

Tang Jing's pupils shrank, and he stared into his eyes without speaking.

The man went to the chair and sat down, and continued: "My lord, haven't you seen it clearly yet? Many people in the court have already stood on the side of King Liang, and even the emperor is more and more fond of King Liang, what do you think, my lord?" To sit on the throne is not as simple as before."

Tang Jing snorted coldly, pulled up a chair and sat down, and said, "Of course this king knows these things, I don't need you to teach me yet!"

The man poured a cup of tea slowly, took a sip, and then continued: "Then, does the prince know that the Prime Minister has also joined King Liang?"

"What?!" Tang Jing's expression changed, and he asked, "Is what you said true?!"

The man smiled and said, "What good will it do for me to lie to the lord?"

Tang Jing lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, stared at him and said, "Murong Yun has never helped Tang Yi with anything, how do you want me to trust you?"

"Didn't you help?" The man chuckled and said slowly, "Murong Yun told King Liang the question beforehand when he was selecting the chief examiner last time, but you didn't know about it until the emperor asked it. Doesn't that count as helping him?"

Tang Jing clenched his fists tightly, and asked for a moment: "If this is true, it must have been done very secretly. This king has spies in their house. If this king doesn't know, how do you know?"

"This... the prince doesn't need to know," the man said, "as long as the prince knows, I'm here to help you get the throne."

Tang Jing looked at him vigilantly, without letting up in the slightest, and asked coldly, "Why should I trust you?"

"How about this?" The man said, taking out a jade tablet from his clothes and putting it on the table.

Tang Jing lowered his eyes and glanced, his expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly in surprise.

Then he stretched out his hand to grab the jade token, looked at the oil lamp carefully for a while, stared at the man, and asked in disbelief: "You, you are from Xiling Kingdom?!"

"My lord is really well-informed." The man smiled slightly and said, "Your lord must be able to see that this jade tablet belongs to the royal family of Xiling Kingdom. I don't know if this thing can make my lord trustworthy?"

Tang Jing stared at him for a while, and said, "The Xiling Kingdom and our Daliang have never interfered with each other. There is neither conflict nor business. Why do you want to come to Daliang and participate in the battle for the throne in Daliang?"

The man said indifferently: "Well, well, it's naturally because I also want to become the emperor of Xiling Kingdom. Although the two countries have never had any contact, it does not prevent you and me from working together."

He took a sip of tea and continued: "As long as the prince is willing to join hands with this subordinate and agree to my conditions, then the throne must belong to the prince."

Tang Jing weighed the pros and cons quickly in his mind, and soon made a decision, and asked the man, "What conditions do you want?"

The man smiled faintly, and said: "After the prince ascends the throne, just give me three cities."

"You're talking nonsense!" Tang Jing stared at him, and immediately refused without thinking.

How could the entire three cities be handed over to others? !
What's more, even without the help of someone of unknown origin like him, it's not necessarily impossible for him to get the throne!
