Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

If Jiang Yunying below the stage was like this, Lian Ping on the stage was even more startled, staring blankly at Lin Ping's eyes that were shining with a dark light, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"On that little bug island, the most powerful martial art is not ninjutsu, nor taijutsu, but illusion, and eye power. And I am the one who possesses the strongest eye power!" The X-rays in Lin Ping's right eye intensified continuously, and the shape of his pupil changed accordingly.

Lian Ping's heart was chilled. He gasped for breath, and his arm suddenly went limp. The spear fell to the ground without warning, making a crisp sound.

In the past few days, Lin Ping has been trying to get close to Lian Ping, not only to make the city lord of Shancheng suspicious of him, but also to keep irradiating him with X-rays.

Lin Ping was unaware of the effects of radiation, so he kept the energy level very high, causing Lian Ping to experience dizziness, weakness in his limbs, and vomiting for the past few days.

In Lin Ping's words: This guy is lucky he doesn't have horns!

Lian Ping thought he had caught a cold and was feeling unwell, so he specially sought out a quack doctor. After taking medicine for the cold, he fell asleep with difficulty, but was constantly sweating during the night.

Now that Lin Ping has turned on all the energy of the X-ray, even Lian Ping probably can't withstand it.

"If you kneel on the ground now and beg for mercy, and agree to rebel against the Mountain City Government, I will consider sparing your life!" Lin Ping said loudly, trying to make sure everyone could hear him clearly.

"This guy's gone mad!" The crowd below the stage sighed. Although they sensed the coldness in Lin Ping's gaze, they didn't believe that Lian Ping would openly betray the Lord of the Mountain City for this.

"What are you waiting for? Kill him now!" the city lord of Shancheng said through gritted teeth. Lin Ping's words had completely enraged him. If it weren't for saving face, he would have gone up to the arena and killed Lin Ping directly.

"Yunying, what is Ping'er up to? How could Lian Ping possibly kneel down to him so obediently?" Jiang Xiuwen also thought Lin Ping was being delusional and asked Jiang Yunying in a puzzled tone.

Jiang Yunying kept a straight face and said expressionlessly, "My husband has never been wrong."

She had no idea what Lin Ping was up to, but she boldly guessed it was a bewitching drug, a good medicine to confuse Lian Ping.

The exact dangers of X-ray radiation remain unclear, but prolonged exposure can cause nausea, general weakness, and even fainting.

Of course, the effects of X-rays are not immediate; otherwise, Lin Ping could have become the most powerful master in the world.

It was a slow process, but Lin Ping succeeded. He used the entire competition to expose Lian Ping to X-ray radiation.

Under Lin Ping's powerful X-ray radiation, Lian Ping became increasingly dizzy and his legs went weak. He actually knelt down in front of Lin Ping in full view of everyone.

"Very good, I see your sincerity." Lin Ping dragged Lian Ping's limp body, trying his best not to let him crawl directly on the ground, and put his ear to Lian Ping's mouth to make it look like they were having a secret conversation.

"You unfilial son, you unfilial son!" The city lord of the mountain city smashed the table in anger. In his great rage, his hair stood on end. He carried his spear and leaped onto the arena, attempting to end the lives of the two men with a single spear thrust.

Jiang Yunying and Lin Xiaomei were no pushovers either. They stepped gracefully in front of the Mountain City Lord, their eyes filled with icy coldness.

"Uncle Lian, what are you doing? Are you unable to accept defeat?" Jiang Yunying instinctively protected Lin Ping and spoke sternly to the Mountain City Lord.

The crowd below the stage took a few steps back, craning their necks to watch what was happening on stage. Judging from the scene, the two city lords were likely to fight each other.

"Your Excellency, isn't the result obvious enough?" Jiang Xiuwen snorted coldly, reminding Wu Xin to announce the results quickly.

Lian Ping was already kneeling before Lin Ping, so there was no need to announce the results. Wu Xin gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few unclear words, "Jiangcheng Prefecture wins..."

With this, the regular competition has concluded. Jiangcheng Prefecture won by a narrow margin of two to one, seizing the territory of Yancheng and the position of Commandant.

Upon hearing the results, the three thousand private soldiers of the Mountain City Prefecture gripped their spears tightly and drew their bowstrings, ready to engage in a fierce battle at any moment.

The city lord of the mountain city gritted his teeth in anger, but eventually calmed down and waved his hand to stop the private army's actions.

Although he lost the competition, his plan was not disrupted. As long as he eliminated Jiangcheng Prefecture, he could not only take up the position of Commandant, but also ask the court for more benefits. After all, within the entire Jiangsu Provincial Administration Commission, the Mountain City Prefecture was the only powerful force.

Wu Xin walked over with a smile, looking like a peacemaker, and said softly, "Gentlemen, please don't hurt our harmony. Since the city lord's mansion won this competition, he should take over the position of Commandant of Yancheng."

The use of the word "should" was particularly meaningful, immediately making everyone's hearts clench.

“However…” Wu Xin said in a drawn-out tone, “According to the regulations, Jiangcheng Prefecture needs to pay 500,000 taels of silver before he can assume the position of Commandant and take over the Yancheng area.”

Actually, this statement is incorrect. The 500,000 taels of silver were the guards' pay, which was linked to the position of the Commandant, and had nothing to do with the Yancheng region.

Wu Xin deliberately linked the two together because he was certain that the city lord's mansion could not come up with 500,000 taels of silver.

"Can we pay you back first? My city lord's mansion has just unearthed a huge salt mine recently, and we'll earn 500,000 taels of silver sooner or later." The impatient Jiang Xiuwen said directly. He naturally knew that there were still several large sums of money in the city lord's mansion's treasury. Let alone 500,000 taels, they might not even be able to come up with 50,000 taels.

“That won’t do. Who knows if the salt mine is a scam? Even if it is, who knows when we’ll be able to save up 500,000 taels of silver? The guards can’t wait that long. Our military pay is already exhausted. We can’t let them go hungry.” Wu Xin refused outright and gave some perfectly legitimate reasons.

Jiang Xiuwen was speechless for a moment, only able to spin in circles, which also proved the saying that even a penny can stump a hero, let alone 500,000 taels of silver.

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver?" Lin Ping chuckled and walked straight toward Tian Duoduo, who was deliberately hiding in the crowd, and said softly, "Boss Tian, ​​it's time for you to keep your promise."

It is an indisputable fact that Jiangcheng Prefecture is weak in the face of the changing world. It is not surprising that the city lord's mansion, which has not yet taken over the fertile land of Yancheng, borrows money from banks.

As Lin Ping approached, Tian Duoduo broke out in a cold sweat, gave an awkward smile, and kept winking and pointing at the handsome, richly dressed middle-aged man next to her.

"Could it be that Boss Tian has lost his mind? It's alright, I, Lin Ping, have the cure." Lin Ping's smile became even more sinister, managing to portray Tian Duoduo's winking as a sign of madness.

"Young Master Lin, this is our boss." Tian Duoduo chuckled.

"Oh." Lin Ping glanced at the other person and continued to say to Tian Duoduo, "Boss Tian, ​​what about the 500,000 taels of silver we agreed on before?"

"Is Lin Ping stupid or did I not explain myself clearly enough?" Tian Duoduo wondered to herself, but could only muster up the courage to answer, "Young Master Lin needs to discuss this with the Chief."
