111: Chapter 98: Suo Hanyi’s Disgraceful Behavior Fully Revealed!_2 111: Chapter 98: Suo Hanyi’s Disgraceful Behavior Fully Revealed!_2 Hearing that Suo Lun actually suspected Lord Suo Hanyi’s loyalty, the samurai of the clan immediately turned pale.

Lord Suo Hanyi was not only their leader, their idol, but also like a stabilizing anchor in their eyes.

Previously, Suo Lun’s steadfast refusal to unite with Lord Suo Hanyi had puzzled them greatly.

Now, Suo Lun even slandered Lord Suo Hanyi as disloyal, which utterly infuriated them.

Is this heartless and ungrateful?

Lord Suo Hanyi has risked his life for the Suo Family, and now, severely wounded by an assassination attempt, his life hangs in the balance.

And Suo Lun, far from being grateful, now slanders him out of jealousy?

Such a lord, heartless and ungrateful, heartless and ungrateful!

They’d be better off without such a lord.

Suo Mu unsheathed his great sword and said, “My lord, if you fear death, you can surrender later, but we are off to face our deaths.

If possible, I hope you will apologize to Lord Suo Hanyi.”

“Kill…” With that, Suo Mu led the way, with over a hundred family samurai charging down.

Suo Lun drew his sword and with a fierce stroke cut down a small tree beside him, roaring, “Stop!”

But Suo Mu, unfazed, led the family samurai in a frenzied charge, intent on dying alongside their enemies in bitter grief.

Below, the rebel army noticed the situation on the mountaintop and immediately formed ranks; thousands of archers and crossbowmen drew their bows, ready to fire.

A volley would be enough to wipe out these hundred men charging down.

Suo Ning Bing drew her sword in a swift motion, placing it against her own neck, yelling loudly, “Stop, or I will die right before your eyes.”

The clan’s samurai, who had always adored Suo Ning Bing, stopped immediately upon seeing her with the sword to her throat.

Suo Mu quickly knelt down and said, “My lady, you mustn’t do this.

If the old master knew we had driven you to death, our deaths would not atone for it.”

Suo Ning Bing said, “I know you adore Lord Suo Hanyi, and I trust him too.

I adore him as well and don’t believe he would betray us.”

Suo Mu bowed deeply and said, “Miss, we are now in dire straits.

The lord is still the lord, and no blame can be laid at his feet.

We do not blame him for not meeting up with Lord Suo Hanyi earlier.

We do not blame him for leading us into this deadly trap.

But now, we would rather stand and live than kneel and die.

We are willing to die to clear Lord Suo Hanyi’s name; surely, that’s allowed.”

Suo Ning Bing’s beautiful eyes turned to Suo Lun and said, “I haven’t finished speaking.

I trust Lord Suo Hanyi completely, even more than I trust myself.

But…

I trust Suo Lun even more.

He is not only my brother, but also my lord.

My trust in him is absolute, surpassing anyone else’s.

So, please give him a chance.”

Suo Lun approached Suo Ning Bing, took the sword from her hands, and looked at Suo Mu and all the family samurai.

“You may not trust me now, and I understand.

Given my past actions, I haven’t deserved your trust,” Suo Lun approached Suo Mu, saying, “Suo Mu, what you just did was akin to rebellion.”

Suo Mu offered his sword with both hands, saying, “If you believe I have rebelled, then behead me and see if my blood is red.”

“I said, your mistrust now, I can understand.” Suo Lun responded, “But, I hope this will be the last time.”

Suo Lun took the great sword from Suo Mu’s hands, then returned it back to him, speaking slowly, “Suo Mu, the outcome will be clear very soon.

Lord Suo Hanyi, whose name you just invoked, is already on his way here.

When he arrives, if I have slandered him, then behead me.”

“If you are still warriors of the Suo Family, then follow my orders.

We have no time for sorrowful goodbyes,” Suo Lun directed, “I still have to lead you to break through, to escape to safety, to reach Linhai City, so let’s not waste time here.”

At those words, disbelief was clear on the faces of everyone present.

Talk of escaping with their lives at this moment?

Was he out of his mind?

Trapped on an isolated mountain top by over ten thousand men, one hundred against many, completely unable to fly away even with wings, not even a deity could save them now.

And here the master was talking about escaping with their lives.

Was this a fantasy?

Suo Lun ignored them and closed his eyes, feeling the wind at the mountain peak, then calculating inwardly.

They were not far from the sea, atop a peak hundreds of meters high, and the wind blew constantly.

Moreover, it was the end of summer, so the wind blew from south to north without fail.

Suo Lun estimated that the wind was about force five, not quite six, with speeds around twelve or thirteen meters per second.

The strength of the wind was not very strong, but it was enough.

The mountain was approximately six hundred meters high, and the Nu River around one hundred and twenty meters wide.

Enough, it was sufficient!

In the royal city, Suo Lun had done many calculations and been to mountaintops to feel the wind.

This situation was even better than he had anticipated.

“Everyone, put on your packs and await my command,” Suo Lun commanded loudly.

…

Half an hour later.

Lord Suo Hanyi, shrouded in black armor, and Commandery Princess Zhining, in a black skirt with a gold mask, rode on fine horses into the midst of the rebel army.

Nurdan looked at Lord Suo Hanyi in his black armor with puzzlement, unaware of who he was, assuming him to be Commandery Princess Zhining’s personal bodyguard.

“My lord, Suo Lun and his men have been completely surrounded on the mountaintop, trapped like birds with nowhere to fly,” Nurdan reported as he approached.

Zhining nodded, then turned to Lord Suo Hanyi, “It’s your time to perform.”
