Suo Lun’s Soaring Fighting Spirit!_5 Then, Zhi Ning took out a jade bottle and said, “This is a bottle of supreme wine.

As your teacher, Yan Nu has worked hard and made great achievements, and it is only right for you, as a student, to honor your teacher with a cup of fine wine.

And this wine is incredibly strong; after drinking it, one would collapse instantly and die without any pain.”

At that moment, Suo Hanyi looked at Zhi Ning, as if he wasn’t seeing a person, but a splendidly venomous snake, hissing there.

And he felt thoroughly chilled to the bone, surrounded by a dark abyss that seemed endless; he kept falling, falling.

…

That night, the assassins hired by the rebels attacked the City Lord’s mansion.

The Deputy Commander of Tianshui City Guard, Yan Nu, was stabbed in the heart by an assassin and killed on the spot.

Mrs.

Yang Hongyi, in an attempt to save her husband, took a sword for him and lay between life and death, unconscious.

Suo Hanyi of the Tianshui City Guard, despite fighting with all his might and killing three samurai-level assassins, was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

This terrible news struck Tianshui City like a thunderbolt.

The next day, the rebels launched a full-scale attack.

Deprived of its backbone, Tianshui City Guard retreated step by step, and after several hours of resistance, the main wall was completely overrun, and countless rebels flooded into Tianshui City.

The loyal City Defense Army, protecting Suo Hanyi and the yet uncertain fate of Mrs.

Yang Hongyi, escaped from Tianshui City through the north gate.

From then on, Heavenly Water Main City had completely fallen.

By this time, it had been half a month since Nurdan initiated his rebellion.

Immediately after the fall of Tianshui City, several dozen messengers hurriedly rode the fastest warhorses, galloping in two directions.

They carried urgent reports of the battle to the capital city and to the northern Linhai City, which was the future father-in-law of Suo Lun, one of the lords of the kingdom, the City Lord Gui Xingfu of Linhai.

At this time, it just so happened to be the second day since Suo Lun had inherited the title and become the City Lord of Tianshui City.

…

In the capital city, four days after Suo Lun had inherited the title.

Tomorrow, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was to take back the Count Tianshui estate.

Everyone inside the Earl’s estate was in a state of immense excitement and anticipation.

Because they were about to go home, about to return to Tianshui City.

Only Suo Lun was wholeheartedly preparing for this day to come, spending a large sum of money to procure the best weapons and steeds, arming all the family samurai.

Suo Ningbing, his sister, was so excited she couldn’t sleep, waiting for the day to arrive, waiting to go home.

That afternoon, an urgent battle report from the direction of Tianshui City.

“Tianshui City has fallen, Suo Hanyi has been vanquished, his fate unknown.”

This report instantly cast the entire exuberant Earl’s estate into the depths of hell.

Suo Ningbing instantly lost all reaction.

The whole Earl’s estate plunged into utter despair.

Their home had fallen, their Tianshui City had fallen.

And the Earl’s estate in the capital was about to be reclaimed by the royal family.

They were now utterly homeless, they had nothing left.

But Suo Lun, he calmed down.

Because the other shoe had finally dropped.

Immediately afterward, a towering fighting spirit surged within him.

He had said that the Tianshui City he wanted was not one bestowed by others, nor was it handed down to him by Suo Hanyi, nor was it obtained because he was impersonating Suo Lun.

Only the city he conquered himself was truly his own Tianshui City.

And then, he seemed to hear the battle drums thundering beside his ears.

How much time did he have left?

Five months.

Yes, five months.

Because when the lords were unable to suppress the rebellion, the royal army would dispatch troops to help the lords reclaim their territories.

And by the time the royal army took back Tianshui City, the city would no longer belong to the Suo family.

It took him barely five months to go from a weakling to graduating top of his class in the final exams.

This time, he still had five months to start from scratch and amass an army to take back Tianshui City.

He was about to defy the heavens once again.

“Thump, thump, thump…” The battle drums in Suo Lun’s heart grew louder and faster as he walked on.

…

After receiving the report of Tianshui City’s fall, King Zhi Bian paused the pen in his hand and smiled faintly.

So, Tianshui City has finally fallen, has it?

Zhi Ning has finally succeeded.

Then, he walked to the window and looked into the dark night towards the north.

His daughter, Princess Zhi Yan, would soon return.

She was his only flesh and blood.

“This grand game is finally underway,” Zhi Bian murmured to himself, “Zhi Yan, my daughter, I have chosen an outstanding man for you.

I hope he does not disappoint you, nor me.”

After that, King Zhi Bian shrugged his shoulders, tightened the cloak around him, and then left the window to head for his sleeping chamber.

Although it was the end of summer, the night grew windy and a bit chilly.
