Lin Ting rubbed his head and pretended to think.

"Bater, I'm not a treasure bag, you have to let me think about it."

Battelle couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to return to Karl as soon as possible, and he gave Lin Ting an order.

"I want you to give me a satisfactory answer by tomorrow morning at the latest. Otherwise, you know that your life is in my hands."

Lin Tinghu nodded: "I know, I know."

No one knows what’s happening in the border town right now. In Weirui Pavilion, Ah Ying goes out every day to bring back food for Lin Ting and Bater.

Moreover, he simply changed his appearance every day. Lin Ting took advantage of Ah Ying's absence to see Bater reading the letters from Xiro's old ministers.

She stealthily walked to the door of the Weirui Pavilion shop, gently opened it, and took a look outside.

The border town today no longer has those familiar faces. These people all speak with accents that are from Yangcheng Xiluo.

They had no place to live, and these empty houses in the border town just met their needs.

Lin Ting could not kill Bater. Before he destroyed the talisman paper in his hand, if Lin Ting wanted to run away, the original owner would be called back by Bater.

The original owner would ruin her plans, so she might as well cooperate with Bater first.

Lin Ting, who originally wanted to take a breath, suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Tian Wei was holding a plaque and also saw Lin Ting.

Has Lin Ting returned to Weirui Pavilion again?

Tian Wei ran to Lin Ting with a smile. Lin Ting narrowed his eyes and shook his head at him.

Then, Bater appeared behind Lin Ting, and Lin Ting seemed to be under his control.

"Who is this?"

Tian Wei has already stood in front of Lin Ting. Now is a critical period, and Bater is particularly careful about everyone and everything.

"Bater, it's not like I won't help you. Why are you so fierce? I'm just looking for a job."

After hearing this, Lin waved at Tian Wei again and said, "There's no work to do here. Go find it somewhere else. Go away."

Tian Wei glanced at Bater, then at Lin Ting. No one in the border town knew what kind of person Lin Ting was better than him.

"Does this shop really not need workers?"

Bater drew his sword and pointed it at Tian Wei: "Go!"

Tian Wei took a few steps back, holding the plaque wrapped in cloth in his arms.

Last time, in order to help the city people evacuate quickly, he didn't even have time to take his wife's tablet away.

Now he has returned just to take his beloved wife's tablet away.

But Lin Ting suddenly appeared in Weirui Pavilion and was still controlled by the man behind him.

He remembered that man. He was the former king of Xiluo and the person Tian Wei hated the most.

It was the Xiluo people who killed his wife. Before Bater ascended the throne, he led troops to attack the border town.

Tian Wei has never forgotten the appearance of his enemy. Now he has captured Lin Ting and is hiding in Weirui Pavilion in the border town.

Tian Wei wants to go find Aunt Jing immediately. Aunt Jing is now in Shan Gu Pass. As long as she can contact people in the capital, she can come here to save Lin Ting.

Lin Ting, who had just gone out, was forced back into Weirui Pavilion by Bater with a dagger.

"Lin Ting, you'd better stop making any small moves and come up with the strategy I need, quickly!"

Lin Ting retreated to the backyard, sat at the stone table, and thought seriously.

She met Tian Wei and gave him a look that made her feel like she was being held hostage. She also told Tian Wei that she was helping Bater.

If Tian Wei can spread this news, will Shen Qingzhou be able to have the same tacit understanding with her?

In the evening, Aying found some sesame cakes and gave them to Lin Ting and Bater respectively.

"Lin Ting, you've been thinking about this all day. Have you come up with a plan?"

Lin Ting's main goal now is to prevent the original owner from being released and ruining her plans. After that...

No matter how reluctant Lin Ting was, she couldn't take someone else's body for herself. The fact that she had been able to survive in this identity all these years was already a blessing from God.

"I thought about it."

Ah Ying looked at Lin Ting, and he didn't leave. He sat down with him and listened to Lin Ting's plan.

Not only the two of them were listening, even the original owner of Lin Ting's body pricked up his ears.

"Say it!"

Lin Ting: "There is a secret that you may not know. Xiao Jingchuan is in love with me."

Xiao Jingchuan loves Lin Ting, what about this?

Bater leaned back in his chair. If it was true, then Lin Ting would be beneficial to him.

"You said that the Emperor of Dongxia loves you?"

Ah Ying asked again unsurely.

Lin Ting nodded: "That's right. If you use me to directly threaten His Majesty and ask him to withdraw Karl's troops, considering his feelings for me, I think this will not be a problem."

Lin Ting was gambling. She was gambling that Shen Qingzhou would not be deceived by Bater, she was gambling on her understanding of Shen Qingzhou, and she was gambling on the tacit understanding between the two of them.

"Lin Ting, Xiao Jingchuan is born cold and indifferent. Are you lying to me?"

This news was hard for Bater to accept. He had been dealing with Xiao Jingchuan for many years, and Xiao Jingchuan was like a human being without emotions.

How could he be attracted to a woman, and a married woman like Lin Ting?

The original owner of Lin Ting's body also found it unbelievable. She had a good-looking face and was actually liked by the emperor.

But, could the emperor they are talking about be an old man?

"You'll know if I'm lying to you once you try. Haven't you heard that the colder a person is, the deeper their feelings are?"

Bater thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. If you can recapture Karl and the surrounding cities, I'll help you eliminate the original owner in your body."

Lin Ting paused for a moment, then agreed with a smile: "Then we have a happy cooperation."

Bater asked Aying to go to another room to discuss and locked the door.

"Wang, can you really believe what Lin heard?"

"Aying, have you forgotten what the wizard Rama said? He who listens to the forest will rule the world.

If Xiao Jingchuan hides his feelings for her, then using her is the fastest way to retake the city.

And she still has the soul of the original owner in her body. If we use Lin Ting's life, we can still control Shen Qingzhou. Don't forget that.

If Dongxia Kingdom did not have the weapons made by Shen Qingzhou, how could our Xiluo be defeated?

Once Shen Qingzhou manufactures weapons for Xiluo, combined with our powerful Xiluo army, restoring our country will be no problem."

The idea was good, but Ah Ying always felt that Lin Ting agreed too quickly and used himself as bait.

That woman trapped and killed 30,000 Xiluo soldiers by herself. Ah Ying didn't dare to trust her too much.

"Wang, do you think Lin Ting is really willing to help us?"

Bater glanced at Ah Ying and said, "Lin Ting is a businessman, she can't escape the businessman's thinking.

After we have used her up, and Dongxia is ruined, if she wants to continue doing business, she can only follow the strong."

Businessmen pursue profit. In Bater's mind, these four words are like a mountain that no one can move.

"King, do you really believe her so much? Just because of what Wizard Rama said?"

Bater shook his head: "No, it was because Lin Ting asked me to kill the soul of the original owner in her body that I believed her. Selfishness is human nature."
