Chapter 97 I Become a God in the World"Song Lin, how about cooperating with me?" The Cangzhou envoy was calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by Song Lin's murderous aura. "Let's build a trade fair and a floating palace together. For the sake of Minjiang Prefecture's eternal cause, I have high hopes for you!" "Our cooperation will open up the trade route to Cangzhou, which will surely drive the development of the entire Minjiang Prefecture and benefit the region. Then I will get everything I want, and you will also be able to enjoy endless wealth. With the protection of Cangzhou, you don't need to worry about the retaliation of the Giant Whale Gang." "Ha~~" Song Lin suddenly laughed. The Cangzhou envoy couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He thought that the other party must be tempted. Because the conditions he proposed, no one would not be tempted. It seemed that in his eyes, the Giant Whale Gang and Song Lin were just tools that could be used. Changing any of the partners would have no effect, it was as if... a gift from a superior. Such an attitude, such a look, such contempt... Song Lin didn't like it at all. When it comes to things he doesn't like, his only approach is to kill them.
and so. Without any nonsense, Song Lin indifferently raised the fish-butchering knife in his hand. Kill them until the sky is dark and the sun and moon are dim, and no one will dare to make noise in front of me anymore. "You..." When the murderous aura was overwhelming, the Cangzhou envoy finally reacted, "You want to kill me? You... dare to touch me?" then. His expression darkened. While retreating, he said coldly: "I have no grudge against you, why do you have to do this? If you don't agree to my terms, I will just find someone else. Kill me... Do you know the consequences?" Everyone knew that he finally felt scared. But he still had a condescending attitude, and it seemed that he had never thought of giving up the idea of building a trade fair and a floating palace. Such a person... deserved to die. call-- The sword flashed. Song Lin had already approached the Cangzhou envoy, and at this moment, thousands of golden flowers and silver leaves suddenly appeared in front of him, and countless flying needles came at him like cow hair. ding ding ding ~~ The knife light faded, and thousands of cow-hair-thin needles fell to the ground. The Cangzhou envoy stared at Song Lin in front of him, dumbfounded. A drop of blood spread from his chest, quickly staining the entire collar red. A delicately crafted bamboo tube in his hand also fell down. "Uh……" The young man fell down limply, one hand covering his chest, and the other hand stretched out to Song Lin with difficulty: "Save... just me, I can't die... I... I am the son of the King of Cangzhou, I... you, can't kill me..." "Please, save me..." "So, your status is so noble?" A sigh. Song Lin squatted beside him, looked at the dying young man, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I……" The young man felt a surge of blood in his chest, blocking his throat and he became unable to speak. Deep regret finally appeared in his eyes. "Do you regret it? Maybe in the next life." The fish-butchering knife pierced into the young man's heart with wind and rain, and with a slight stir, his heart was completely turned into mud. "Uh--" The young man let out a long last breath, his body stiffened, and the light in his eyes gradually faded. He...actually died here? Died in this corner of Minjiang Prefecture. His father... is the King of Cangzhou! The one who rules over the vast mountains and rivers of Cangzhou, and is above all people! He... "Pooh!" Song Lin spat in relief and stomped on the young man's head. A great cause for the ages, benefiting the people? What Chen Guzhou did six hundred years ago was at least a livelihood project, and he was deified by the people in the whitewashed history of later generations. They are just a group of people who build trade fairs and water palaces for their own selfish interests. How can they be called a great cause for the ages? Spring and Autumn Dream! Get up. Song Lin's eyes swept across the Green Willow Bank, and countless people immediately lowered their heads in fear. The leaders of those gangs and forces were either dead or injured, and most of the remaining people fled. One person, killing everyone. Da da~~ Footsteps were heard and Song Lin walked to the other side. There. A graceful figure, who didn't say a word from beginning to end. But her identity... Princess of Cangzhou. Since he had already killed a Cangzhou envoy and the son of the King of Cangzhou, Song Lin didn't mind killing one more. "Young man, please stop." A soft voice came from behind the curtain. "..."Song Lin did not stop, holding his knife and taking quick steps. Today, no one can influence his will. "Wait~~" The woman finally became anxious and took the initiative to lift the curtain, revealing her graceful figure to the world. She was wearing a purple palace dress and a veil on her head, and her face was vaguely visible. His tone was very anxious: "Song Lin, I know you have no scruples, but we really have no grudges against each other, and I have nothing to do with that useless illegitimate child. Please don't kill me, okay?" "Ha~~" Song Lin remained unmoved. He flew up and stabbed the Princess of Cangzhou in the face with a knife.
"Ah——" the princess screamed in panic, and suddenly shouted: "I can stop their plan!" The fish-butchering knife suddenly stopped, and the tip of the knife cut through half of the veil, leaving a bloody mark on the pretty face of Princess Cangzhou. "Sigh~~" She let out a long hiss. Holding back the pain, she said, "You killed Cang Ming, but this is not a big deal. He was just an insignificant illegitimate son among the hundreds of sons of the King of Cangzhou, and his identity cannot be exposed. But... I am the Princess of Cangzhou, and this water palace was built for me, at least on the surface." "I have the ability to stop them from building a trade fair and a floating palace! Really, you must believe me!" "Killing me won't do any good, it'll just be another life." "But it will completely lose face for the King of Cangzhou. If you kill Cangming, the King of Cangzhou will at least not start a war openly, and Cangzhou is far away from here. But if you kill me..." "Should I believe you?" Song Lin's fish-butchering knife was still stuck in the flesh on her face. But his attitude made Princess Cangzhou happy. She still didn't dare to struggle, and said quickly: "I know that you will leave Minjiang Prefecture soon after today. So you have nothing to worry about. But who can help these people after you leave? I can!" "I promise you, I will maneuver and reduce the size of the palace. I will only build a small palace by the lake. As for the trade fair... I can't guarantee it, but I will try to delay the construction period by five years... no, ten years." "Ten years is enough to minimize all losses. Let the people live and work in peace and slowly multiply. What do you think?" She stared into Song Lin's eyes nervously, her tone sincere. ten years? Convert the water palace into a small palace by the lake? Song Lin frowned in thought. In fact, he knew it very well. If the Giant Whale Gang is determined to build this trade fair and cooperate with the King of Cangzhou, he will be helpless for the time being with his power. After today, the next person to come from the Giant Whale Gang will be a true master who can deal with him. Even his sixth uncle, who is rumored to be just one step away from being on the blacklist... Song Lin killed his two precious sons! It must be said that the Princess of Cangzhou is indeed smart, a hundred times smarter than the illegitimate son of the King of Cangzhou. She believes that the well-being of the people is what Song Lin cares most about. Although it is not correct, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. "As long as the terrain of Minjiang Prefecture is not destroyed, this matter... is the best solution." He pondered for a moment, and already agreed with Princess Cangzhou's plan a little bit. But...whether this matter can be carried out is the key to the problem. "it is good." Song Lin withdrew his fish-cutting knife, but still looked coldly at the so-called Princess of Cangzhou, and said, "You can choose to keep your promise, or you can go back on your words today. You just need to remember one thing... three or five years later, will you be able to dodge my knife?" "I remember." Princess Cangzhou lowered her head, not daring to look at Song Lin. "I swear to the heavens, to the people." Song Lindao.
"I...Okay." Princess Cangzhou gritted her teeth, turned around and looked at the green willow embankment. She saw a pair of hopeful eyes that had climbed onto the embankment without her knowing when. She did not dare to hesitate and said loudly: "Today, on behalf of the King of Cangzhou, I promise..." "The construction period of the trade fair and the lakeside palace will be extended to more than ten years, and corvée labor will no longer be forced. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by both humans and gods!" Wow~~ suddenly. There were lightning and thunder in the sky and heavy rain poured down. In the rain, countless people knelt on the ground, bowed and shouted: "Thank you, Young Master Song, for your kindness, and thank you, Princess! Thank you~~ Thank you~~ We finally have hope!! " "Finally... there is hope to survive..." Countless hot tears mixed with cold raindrops slid down people's cheeks. A series of blazing eyes looked at Song Lin on the high platform, as if they were looking up at a god living in the world. As if... in the midst of the heavy rain, they saw a ray of light representing hope. Da da da~~ Song Lin stepped into the puddles mixed with rain and blood and came to a figure at the edge of the green willow embankment. She was wearing a yellow dress, her body was covered in blood, and her face was pale. With a smile on his face, he looked up at the figure in the heavy rain. In front of him... it seemed that he saw a person he had admired so much, and his figure and his figure were slowly overlapping. "Song Lin~~Xu Lin~~You did it, it's so good, it's just like..." Wang Menglan murmured, her voice almost as soft as a mosquito's hum. "But you are going to die." Song Lin said. "Yeah..." Wang Menglan glanced at the body of Xu Hailong beside her, "However, I died a moment later than him, and I also saw you saving the people. Even if I die... it's worth it." "Any last words?" Song Lin glanced at the fatal wound on her heart, his tone tinged with regret. "No more... no last words, and no regrets..." Wang Menglan's voice was like a candle in the wind, "But I have something to give you." The woman said. He opened Xu Hailong's clothes and found a scroll from his arms. It was a scroll made of animal skin that was impervious to rain and had a unique texture. Spread out the hide. A distribution map of the water eyes in Minjiang River suddenly emerged. One, two... a total of nine locations, very similar to the animal skin map Song Lin found under the reverse spring, but there are only nine locations. It seems that the person who drew the map back then was deliberately guarding against something. "I guess...Xu Hailong must have another thing related to this Water Eye Map on his body." Blood kept oozing from the corners of the strange woman's mouth. Song Lin looked at Wang Menglan, then at Xu Hailong, as if he had suddenly discovered a secret that had been passed down for six hundred years. Is this the relationship between them? It turns out that Qing Yuanzi did a lot of things back then! "The predecessor who left something behind also left a word, which has been recorded in the Wang family's ancestral precepts from generation to generation..." Wang Menglan's voice became increasingly faint and reached Song Lin's ears through the rain. at this time. Da da da~~ There was the sound of footsteps passing through puddles. Two figures gradually approached from the rain. One was skinny, carrying a hammer taller than him, and limping like a cripple. The other was strong, with a face as black as iron, and carrying a body that had been beaten to pieces on his shoulders... On the corpse's tattered clothes, the logo of the Giant Whale Gang was clearly visible.
