Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 605
The man laughed out loud, got up and said: "My lord, please think about it carefully. Is the whole girder or the three cities more important? You don't need to tell me the result right away. I will visit you again in half a month."

After speaking, he opened the door, walked out slowly, stepped on his feet, jumped up, and disappeared into the night sky.

Tang Jing turned his head, looked at the jade tablet on the table, and frowned.

The fighting in the south is tense, but the capital seems to be peaceful.Apart from the fact that there are more beggars on the streets, there seems to be no change in the capital.

Half a month later, news came back to the capital that it was said that Tang Yi led the troops to resist the Nanzhao army and had driven them back fifty miles.

This is great news for the court, which has received bad news for a long time.

In the early court, the stones hanging in the hearts of all the ministers seemed to have fallen off. Many officials praised Tang Yi for his ability to lead the army, and he was indeed a rare general.

The emperor was also very happy, and said at the court: "King Liang has really made a great contribution. When this battle is over, I will definitely reward you!"

In the whole court, only Tang Jing looked gloomy.None of the people he sent to assassinate Tang Yi that day have returned.

He secretly clenched his fists, thinking in his heart that Tang Yi really is different from the past, he has been immersed in the pride of getting rid of the former prince Tang Ci during this period of time, maybe his mood is indeed a little arrogant.

However, now that he has realized this, he will naturally work harder to fight against Tang Yi who is getting stronger and stronger.

That night, the man came as promised, and Tang Jing immediately said when he saw him: "This king has already thought it through, and I can agree to your terms."

Anyway, as long as he is on the throne, what will he do to him if he keeps the agreement with this man?

The man smiled slightly, as if he had seen through his inner thoughts, and said: "My lord, don't go back on your word. Here is a medicine. After taking it, you must take the antidote every month, otherwise you will die of intestinal rot. I don’t know if the prince dares to eat it? Don’t worry, the prince, as long as you abide by the agreement, when you accept the three cities, you will naturally give the prince the final antidote.”

Tang Jing's eyes fell on the black pill, he pondered for a moment, but shook his head: "Don't think that this king is so easy to deceive, if I take it, I will be under your control, when the time comes you How to threaten this king, this king can only bear it, can't he?"

The man laughed loudly: "My lord is really suspicious like the information I got. But if my lord doesn't make a guarantee, how can I believe that you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Tang Jing lowered his eyes, and said after a while, "Since you and I can't trust each other, this cooperation, don't talk about it, please."

He would rather have one less helper than one more potential threat.

After all, Xiling Kingdom had no relationship with Daliang, so how could he believe that the people of Xiling Kingdom were not planning to annex Daliang for some wishful thinking?

Hearing what Tang Jing said, the man fell silent in a rare way.

After a while, he said lightly: "My lord, how about this, we write an agreement, the two of you sign it and press your fingerprints as a proof. Anyway, the purpose of the lord is to ascend to the throne, and what I want is three cities, no matter how you look at it The prince is more cost-effective and safer."

The corner of Tang Jing's mouth hooked, and he immediately agreed.
