Suo Lun’s Soaring Fighting Spirit!_3 “Impossible…” Suo Hanyi hissed, “That prodigal son, how could he be my opponent.

Now, all the military and civilians in Tianshui City revere me as a deity.”

“No.” Zhi Ning said, “Once you know about the miracle that Suo Lun performed at the Royal City Academy, then you will understand what it means to be possessed by a divine being.”

Suo Hanyi despised hearing such words and coldly said, “If Commandery Princess has something to say, just say it directly.”

“Kill Suo Lun, become the Lord of Tianshui City, and then marry Suo Ningbing,” Zhi Ning said.

This statement struck directly at the hottest part of Suo Hanyi’s heart, causing his whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhi Ning continued, “After becoming the Lord of Tianshui City, you must agree to one condition from us.

That is to allow our garrison troops so that Tianshui City becomes the military fortress for the kingdom’s invasion of the Southern Barbarian Plains.”

Suo Hanyi sneered, “Once I let your troops garrison here, will Tianshui City still be mine?”

Zhi Ning said, “Tianshui City isn’t really yours to begin with; you are ostensibly the leader of the Tianshui City Guard but in reality, you’re just a house slave of the Suo family.

Isn’t an earldom, the position of Lord of Tianshui City, and Suo Ningbing enough to buy your loyalty?”

Suo Hanyi’s heart pounded violently, nearly preventing him from breathing, then he remembered the slap Suo Ningbing had given him.

Indeed, on the surface he was the adopted son of the Suo family, but in reality, he was treated no better than a house slave.

Instantly, Suo Hanyi’s voice trembled, “By then even if I become the Lord of Tianshui City, I’ll just be your puppet.”

Zhi Ning said, “You underestimate the magnanimity of His Highness Zhi Li.

You possess such outstanding military talent?

Then in the war against the Southern Barbarian, how could you fail to achieve honors?

At that time, you won’t just command ten thousand troops but a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand?

When the time comes, what will your future be limited to, being just the Lord of Tianshui City, just an earl?

Even the seat of the Commander-in-chief’s Office will have a place for you.”

At that moment, Suo Hanyi really struggled to breathe.

“Why did Turing Tuo become a duke?

It’s because he established unparalleled merits and was hailed as a god of war,” Zhi Ning said.

“Your military talent, you are fully aware of it yourself.”

Suo Hanyi strained to say, “But, but… My adoptive father has been as kind as heaven and earth to me.”

Zhi Ning said, “In this world, there is no true loyalty.

So-called loyalty only exists when the price for betrayal isn’t high enough.”

Suo Hanyi trembled, “If I betray the Suo family, I will be pointed at by thousands.”

“No, you will not only avoid being the target of scorn but will become the savior of the Suo family,” Zhi Ning said.

“You need to do three things.

First, pretend to be attacked and injured, we will seize the opportunity to attack the city, you will retreat after a major defeat, and Tianshui City will fall.

Second, you ambush Suo Lun on the way, kill him as a pledge of allegiance to His Highness Zhi Li.

Third, you lead your troops to defeat the so-called rebels, retake Tianshui City, and stage the return of the king.

Then, rightfully and justly becoming the Lord of Tianshui City.”

Upon hearing this, Suo Hanyi laughed loudly, “Do you think I’m a fool?

With Tianshui City lost, my value is nil.

And once you expose the fact that I killed Suo Lun, my only destiny is to die without a place to be buried.”

Zhi Ning said, “Then why not publicly renounce the Suo family and declare yourself the Lord of Tianshui City?”

Suo Hanyi said, “That way, my reputation would be utterly destroyed.”

Zhi Ning said, “This won’t do, that won’t do.

You don’t want to be loyal to Suo Lun and wish him dead, yet you don’t want to get your hands bloody.

Playing the whore but wanting to erect an archway, where in the world is there such an easy thing?”

Suo Hanyi said, “Don’t dream!

If I really do as you say, I’ll indeed die without a place to be buried.

What can’t you, this venomous snake, do?”

Zhi Ning coldly said, “If you don’t agree, you’ll still die without a place to be buried.

Moreover, it would be a legitimate execution.”

Suo Hanyi said, “Laughable!

I defend Tianshui City, which is right and proper.

Who could blame me?

If you could legitimately execute me, you wouldn’t need to sneak into the rebel army with your troops, or negotiate with me now.”

“I’m negotiating with you because you have value,” Zhi Ning said coldly.

“I can legitimately kill you whenever I want.”

“Dream on, absurd!” Suo Hanyi laughed heartily.

Zhi Ning said, “Do you know who the woman you slept with in the Royal City is?”

Suo Hanyi shuddered, suddenly remembering that magnificent night.

“Her name is Zhulier, one of the noble admirers you had during your time at the Royal City Academy,” Zhi Ning said.

“Do you remember her now?”

With that said, Suo Hanyi instantly remembered.

During his time at the Royal City Academy, there certainly had been such a noblewoman, with large eyes and a delicate figure, who looked at him with incredibly tender gazes.

Although Suo Hanyi was also in the Commoner Branch, his excellent academic performance coupled with his handsome face, made him popular among the girls, including the girl Zhulier.

Zhi Ning said, “Do you know who this girl is now serving as a concubine to?”

A chill immediately surged through Suo Hanyi.

“She is the concubine of Duke Zhi Ting,” Zhi Ning said coldly.

“Who is Zhi Ting?

I believe you know better than I.

And Zhulier is his most favored woman.

This woman is now pregnant, but Duke Zhi Ting has long lost the ability to impregnate a woman.

Therefore, the child in her womb is yours, and it’s not obvious now, but when her belly grows bigger, do you think Zhi Ting won’t go mad?

Once he finds out you cuckolded him, do you think he will not kill you?”
