Chapter 129

Shangguan Haitang does not want to die.

After all, she is still young, in the prime of her life, and hasn't even had the chance to enjoy life yet—is she really to die so hastily like this?

Even though she is an Imperial Secret Agent who has steeled herself for the necessity of death,

she surely would not be willing to accept it.

Most importantly, Shangguan Haitang does not want to die in such an obscure and silent manner.

Thinking of this,

Shangguan Haitang continues to plead:

"I humbly ask Mr. Su to point the way out of this predicament for Haitang!"

"Haitang would be eternally grateful!!"

Faced with such a powerful desire to survive, even Shangguan Haitang cannot help but feel agitated.

Seeing this, Su Hang merely smiles faintly, then utters a few simple words:

"It is very simple."

"You only need to slaughter the Iron-Gall God of War, and the Yagyu family, seeing that the situation has turned against them, will naturally withdraw from the Central Plains."

"And wouldn't your life, Miss Haitang, then be preserved?"

Shangguan Haitang: "..."

Guihai Yidao: "..."

Upon hearing these words,

Shangguan Haitang feels her mind go completely blank.

Many words are stuck in her throat, yet she cannot utter a single one.

She had considered Mr. Su's potential answers—such as fleeing immediately, disguising herself, retiring to the mountains, or even just marrying someone at random...

She had even considered shaving her head and becoming a nun.

But she never expected Mr. Su to say something like this!

To directly kill her own foster father, her half-master, and solve the problem at its root?

This... Mr. Su's way of handling problems is even more ruthless than the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

Such a groundbreaking method truly exceeds the limits of Shangguan Haitang's imagination!

Meanwhile, the surrounding audience, upon hearing this, are scared out of their wits.

Fortunately, they are in Xueyue City, under the protection of the city's bigwigs, which is why they feel at ease.

If this were in the Great Ming Dynasty, the moment Su Hang said those words, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot would likely have already arrived!

To commit treason and dare to kill even the Emperor's own uncle—wouldn't killing the Emperor himself be just as easy?
