Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

The soldier showed a violent expression on his face. He walked in aggressively and punched Xie Ting in the face. "Eat? Do you think you are a noble person? Eat, I haven't eaten all day, and you want to eat?"

He blew a breath on his fist and said, "If I hadn't been severely punished by my superiors, I really wanted to kill you right away."

Xie Ting was knocked to the ground by a punch and spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva.

The others were so frightened that they fell silent and unconsciously took several steps away.

"You he……"

"Shut up!"

Seeing Xie Ting about to stand up and fight back in anger, Meng Qi quickly went over to hold him down, "How dare you, you bastard, provoke me? Believe it or not, I'll teach you a lesson on my behalf. I'm telling you, if you want to die, don't take us with you."

He held Xie Ting tightly and winked at him frantically.

The soldier folded his arms complacently and said nothing. In his opinion, it was normal for someone to be willing to use tricks to please him. This has become the norm here.

People die every day, and the newcomers regard them as superiors who can decide their life and death. Almost every batch of people sent in has a few such people who are attentive to them.

Seeing Xie Ting quiet down, the soldier snorted coldly and walked out.

Only the common people were left in the tent.

Meng Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have come alone."

"you dislike me?"

Xie Ting got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his sleeve.

"How dare I despise you who hates evil so much?"

Meng Qi spoke sarcastically. The two of them looked around and found that these hundreds of people either had numb expressions or were afraid of death, but no one tried to escape.

They gathered together and stood in a corner, as if they believed that Xie Ting had offended the soldiers here, so they were afraid of getting into trouble and didn't want to associate with him.

Not far away, there was also a middle-aged man who was left alone and excluded by these people.

The man was short and of ordinary appearance, but he looked very smart.

When the two of them looked over there, he happened to be looking over here.

Their eyes met, and the man walked over very familiarly, "Brother, want to make a deal?"

"Don't do it."

Meng Qi refused without thinking. They had their own plans and could not rashly interact with others before they had a clear understanding of the situation here. Who knew if they were spies planted by the Emperor of Li.

The man smiled and said, "But I accidentally discovered one of your secrets. You have to make this deal whether you want to or not."

"What do you mean?"

Meng Qi and Xie Ting looked at each other nervously. Could it be that this person found out that they had killed someone?

But then I thought this was impossible. After all, this group of people only arrived here today, and they killed people last night.

The man looked at the two of them meaningfully, and only uttered two words with a smile, "Back off."

These two words made Meng Qi and Xie Ting's hearts suddenly rise to their throats.

This person actually saw through their plan!

"Don't be nervous. I'm the only one who noticed this. The others have already lost hope and won't pay any attention to it. I really want to make friends with you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to expose this matter from the beginning? Maybe I can even make a contribution and be appreciated."

Meng Qi frowned and pulled the small man to another corner and whispered, "What do you want to trade?"

"silver."

The little man's eyes sparkled, "I want silver."

"That's it? Brother, you're in big trouble and you're still thinking about money?"

Xie Ting was speechless. He thought the other party would propose some earth-shattering deal.

In the face of life and death, external things like silver are of no use.

"You do not understand."

A hint of stubbornness flashed in the little man's eyes. "I just want the money. I will definitely escape from here and survive. I won't wait to die here."

Meng Qi's eyes were long and lingering. "Then how much do you want?"

"How much?"

The other party seemed to be lost in thought. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked tentatively, thinking that he was asking for too much: "Ten... ten taels."

Meng Qi frowned, and the smaller man thought he thought it was too much, so he quickly said, "Of course, if you really don't have any, you can also give me five taels. No less, this is my bottom line."

Xie Ting really couldn't understand the man in front of him. It would have been fine if he only asked for ten taels, but before they even opened their mouths, this man had already lowered the price by half.

He and Meng Qi didn't dare to say they were rich now, but after a series of rewards, they could easily take out ten taels of silver.

However, they naturally couldn't reveal their identities. Since the other party was willing to lower the price, they had no choice but to accept it with a feigned embarrassment: "Okay, then, the two of us will pool our money and try to raise five taels of silver for you."

Hearing their agreement, Xue Qi showed a hint of joy on his face, "That's great."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people gathered nearby suddenly said, "Xue Qi, what are you planning on doing with those two guys? We're all in this together now, so put away your deception."

"That's right. Even if you get the silver now, it doesn't matter. You still have the life to take it but not the life to spend it. We are destined to die here."

Sighs, high and low, were heard, and everyone was lifeless.

Xue Qi snorted coldly, "You guys can die if you want to, but I won't die here. I will definitely escape. I have a reason to leave alive!"

The group of people on the opposite side cursed him as a madman and said nothing more.

Two groups of people stood in two corners. Although the three of them looked alone, they were still clearly separated.

"Hey, do you believe what they say?"

Suddenly, Xue Qi raised his head and looked at Xie Ting and the others seriously.

Xie Ting smiled and said, "What do you believe? Do you believe that you are deceiving us, or that we are destined to die here?"

"All."

Xue Qi said seriously, "I have both."

"Um……"

Xie Ting asked curiously, "Is this important?"

"Very important."

His tone was stubborn, just like the stubbornness he had used when he said "I just want the money".

"Well, then I'll tell you, I don't believe it."

Xie Ting raised an eyebrow and answered while looking him straight in the eye.

Xue Qi's eyes suddenly brightened, even brighter than when he heard that they were going to give him five taels of silver.

If Xie Ting saw it right, he seemed to see a sudden hint of moisture in this man's eyes.

What happened? What did he say to make this person cry?!

Xue Qi asked in a trembling voice: "Why?"

Xie Ting raised his chin. "I just do what I want to do. Why would I bother asking why? If you really want to know why, you have the evidence."

Xue Qi's eyes suddenly dimmed, "Is it just because of this?"

Xie Ting pursed his lips and said, "Also, I would rather believe a real villain than a fake gentleman."
