Hua Fan said: "You must send troops to resist Shangguan Chiying's demon army, and you must spare no effort and cannot hide it."
Shangguan Jinnian: "Oh...so, what will Ah Zhen give in exchange?"
Hua Fan: "..." This bargaining chip must be equal to Shangguan Jinnian's unknown secret. It must even exceed it.
Hua Fanxue was smarter and asked first: "What do you want?"
Shangguan Jinnian said: "If I tell you, Ah Zhen can't agree, then what do I mean by it?"
Hua Fan speculated in his heart that the condition that he could never agree to would be...?
"Let's talk about it first, what if I can agree?" She also learned to talk in circles.
"Okay, you agree first." Shangguan Jinnian is also very smart.
"Say it first." Hua Fanbu jumped into the pit.
"You are not allowed to leave the Governor's Mansion without my permission." Shangguan Jinnian said calmly without trying to tempt her.
It's so simple to turn a flower into a fool. Isn't it just that you don't want her to run away? What's the point? Just agree.
"Okay!" before he could finish speaking, Hua Fan couldn't wait to agree. The condition she offered in exchange happened to be this. In her opinion, exchanging Shangguan Jinnian for not running away was like taking a white slip.
It's the same as buying something. Buy it first, and whether you can cash it out later is another matter.
"Huh? You agreed?" Shangguan Jinnian's eyes flashed with a cunning look, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Uh..." Hua Fan felt that he had been cheated, but he couldn't regret it.
"What are the conditions..." she asked resignedly. Various thoughts ran through her mind. For example, he asked herself to give up retrieving the Five-Colored Edict, or asked herself to abolish her powers like he did many years ago. No matter which one it was,
It was a very difficult decision for her to make. If she hadn't been emboldened by asking Shangguan Jinnian for the first time, she would never have dared to agree to any of them.
Shangguan Jinnian's expression became serious, and his joking look was completely gone. He looked at her with no threat or coercion in his eyes, just like the sunshine coming through the window, warm and welcoming.
But Hua Fan was on pins and needles because of that mysterious condition.
"I don't want to lose my powers..." She begged for mercy first.
"When did I say that I wanted Ah Zhen to abolish his powers?" Shangguan Jinnian interrupted before she could finish her words.
"I don't want to give up the Five Colors Edict either." She guessed again.
"...When did I tell Ah Zhen to give up the Five Colors Edict?" Shangguan Jinnian lay innocently at gunpoint.
"...What is that?" She thought with luck, as long as these two conditions were not met, she could accept it, whether it was going up the mountain of knives or going down into the sea of fire.
"Azhen..." The warmth in Shangguan Jinnian's eyes expanded into a smile with charming eyes. In Hua Fan's opinion, there was a bit of teasing.
"Well... Ah Zhen has no parents, this is difficult..." Shangguan Jinnian looked at her thoughtfully.
Hua Fan squinted, Damn, what is this guy doing mentioning his parents?
"Well...if we don't have parents, we don't have a natal family. What should I do if I give a betrothal gift?" Shangguan Jinnian thought about it and asked Hua Fan in a serious manner.
Hua Fan has no female elder relatives since she was a child, so she doesn't know much about human etiquette. However, she has heard about the most basic etiquette of giving a betrothal gift. Before the wedding, the groom's family came forward to ask the bride's family.
Giving a betrothal gift indicates that you want to marry a woman.
But Shangguan Jinnian said he wanted to give a betrothal gift! Or should he give her a betrothal gift? What did he mean?
Hua Fan opened his eyes wide, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
Shangguan Jinnian stretched out his finger and caressed her cheek, until the panic flashing in her eyes subsided little by little, then he said slowly: "Since you just said that I am a king who has subjugated the country, then
Is it okay for Ah Zhen to come and live after the country is subjugated?"
Hua Fan's brain was a little out of whack. She subconsciously took a step back and almost fell down. Fortunately, the wall behind her was there, but the coldness of her back touching the wall didn't wake her up. What was he talking about? He was there
Propose? To yourself?
The sunlight was crushed by the carved window lattice, and a pool of broken jade was scattered on the wall, like a green and crystal river.
She felt there was some sadness in her eyes. If she had heard him say this six years ago, or even earlier, she might have been very happy. Because at that time, she was still living in his lies,
He regarded it as her only destiny, because of the false "gold and stone contract", she once thought that becoming her wife would be the end of her life.
But now, when she heard what he said, she didn't feel happy at all. Maybe she was a little happy, but it had already been extinguished by shock and inexplicable fear. Staring at his eyes and searching repeatedly, she even felt,
He was joking. This joke is really not funny at all, she thought. But after searching for a long time, she could not find any falsehood in his eyes.
"You..." Hua Fan wanted to ask something, but found that her tongue was so tied that she couldn't say a word. She had to take another step back, but was blocked by the wall. There was no way to retreat. She suddenly felt that he might as well threaten him
If I force myself, it is better to ask her to give up the Five-Colored Edict, or to let myself abolish the superpower.
If that were the case, she could at least give herself a reason to escape, and her sense of disobedience would not be so serious. She would never be in a dilemma like now, speechless.
"If you agree, I will send troops as you said." Shangguan Jinnian said. He had already noticed Hua Fan's resistance. His voice was still very soft, but his tone was already a little bit losing hope.
Her already chaotic mind was even more confused by the involvement. His eyes were still as warm as the warm sun outside the window, so the threat did not have the slightest hint of threat, but more like a sweet temptation.
What Hua Fan doesn't know best is choosing, especially the multiple-choice questions asked by Shangguan Jinnian. He always seizes her weaknesses with great accuracy. She has never felt the darkness and despair when fighting against beasts, but she has been able to do so again and again.
The choice from those dilemmas is crystal clear.
Send troops. This was a big temptation and the whole purpose of her trip. But now she couldn't care less about it.
"Azhen...don't you agree?" Shangguan Jinnian asked again.
Panic flashed in her pupils, just like the flashing light and shadow behind her. Shangguan Jinnian didn't get an answer from her, so she pushed away his arm that restrained her and ran away quickly. She felt the burning heat on her face.
Sometimes it becomes even more serious, as if a burning flame is burning in my heart, making the whole world no longer clear.
