Chapter 301: 176: Plan to kill Suo Hanyi!

Suo Hanyi’s heart skipped a beat; his wife, Yang Hongyi, had indeed fallen into Suo Lun’s hands.

Although she was absolutely unconscious, if by any chance she awoke and revealed her shame in front of everyone, that would truly be the end of his reputation.

He took a deep breath, thinking of a way to respond.

If it really came to that, he would have to insist that his wife Yang Hongyi and Suo Lun had an affair, and that was why she was slandering him. Even so, that wouldn’t clear him of suspicion.

So, if his wife did wake up, there would be no solution. Could he shoot her dead the moment he saw her?

That was impossible, too, because if he shot Yang Hongyi dead with an arrow from the city wall, everyone would suspect him.

Suo Hanyi clenched his teeth, thinking to himself, "Even if Yang Hongyi exposes my sins, what of it? I will firmly claim that she and Suo Lun had an affair and then play the role of a victim. After all, the rumors smearing Suo Lun include seduction of his own sister; Yang Hongyi is no exception."

Besides, even if his reputation suffered, it wouldn’t have any real substantial impact.

After all, the army following him was already completely tied to his own interests. As long as he could kill Suo Lun, even if the soldiers and civilians of Tianshui City saw him for who he was, they would still be powerless and at his mercy.

The public has always been the most ignorant and weak.

Having convinced himself, Suo Hanyi donned his armor and strode out of the City Lord’s mansion, mounted his war horse, and headed for the city wall.

...

When Suo Hanyi arrived at the city wall, the area outside was already densely packed with Suo Lun’s... army.

If what he had could still be called an army.

More than ten thousand people, all riffraff and rogues, their faces covered with black cloth, their formation haphazard and chaotic, holding a variety of weapons, a messy crowd.

Soon, Suo Hanyi caught sight of his wife, Yang Hongyi, unconscious on the back of a massive Lion-Tiger Beast.

At that, Suo Hanyi let out a long sigh of relief; his wife hadn’t woken up. That was good, that was very good.

And on the Lion-Tiger Beast, there was a man whose "salty pig hand" was on his wife’s lower waist.

Suo Hanyi almost exploded with rage; his wife had been in Suo Lun’s hands for over half a day, and who knew how he’d been taking advantage of her.

"Suo Lun, I know it’s you," Suo Hanyi shouted furiously. "Show some guts and take off that mask."

Suo Lun, on the back of the Lion-Tiger Beast, continued to fondle Yang Hongyi’s lower abdomen, lazily staring at Suo Hanyi on the city wall, not responding, nor removing the mask.

With a trembling voice, Suo Hanyi said, "Suo Lun, rumors say you’ve committed incest with your mother and sister and I didn’t believe them. Seeing you today, you truly are worse than a beast. Yang Hongyi is yet another of your sisters; such actions truly break my heart and leave me without face to meet our foster father in the afterlife."

Suo Lun still paid no attention, but instead placed his hand over Yang Hongyi’s chest, gently kneading, then provocatively looked at Suo Hanyi, neither admitting nor denying that he was Suo Lun.

Suo Hanyi, watching his hand on his wife’s chest, was truly enraged to the extreme. Although he loved Suo Ningbing, Yang Hongyi was after all his wife, and he was still filled with a sense of possession. Now, to see Suo Lun holding her and touching her, both above and below, he was nearly bursting with anger.

But the act still needed to be played out.

With tearful eyes, Suo Hanyi said, "Suo Lun, if it was only debauchery with women, that would be one thing. The people of Tianshui City are your subjects, and yet you lead bandits to plunder them, to mistreat them — how could you bear it? Such a beast like you does not deserve to be the Lord of Tianshui City."

His words stirred a great resonance.

The samurai on the city wall, as well as the refugees behind them, began to shout, "Down with Suo Lun, down with Suo Lun."

"Long live Lord Suo Hanyi..." This one was obviously a plant.

But then, a multitude of voices followed, loudly chanting, "Long live Lord Suo Hanyi."

Hearing the people’s cries, Suo Hanyi’s lips curled into a smug smile. He should really thank Suo Lun for wreaking havoc in the Tianshui City Territory; now the people’s hearts were more with him than ever.

At this point, even if Suo Lun entered Tianshui City, he couldn’t become the City Lord; he would instead be drowned in the spittle of countless people.

"Suo Lun, take off that mask, return my wife, and beg for forgiveness from all the elders and fathers here," Suo Hanyi called out loudly. "Then, imprison yourself in the Suo’s ethical hall for reflection, and you can still keep your life; otherwise, don’t blame me for cleansing the household for our foster father."

With that, Suo Hanyi slowly drew his greatsword.

But just at that moment, Yang Hongyi in Suo Lun’s arms suddenly trembled, her eyelids fluttered as if she was about to wake up.

Suo Hanyi was almost scared out of his wits; Yang Hongyi absolutely, absolutely could not wake up. Once she woke up, her nature of detesting evil would surely make her spill everything, and he would be utterly ruined.

Immediately, Suo Hanyi dared not perform any longer, and he bellowed, "Kill these pests; capture Suo Lun alive."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Instantly, thousands of arrows were launched from the city wall, pouring down like a torrential rain.

The rabble around Suo Lun, still hundreds of steps away, turned pale with fear, legs going weak. If not for the hundreds of Suo samurai behind them, they probably would have fled already.

Seeing this, Suo Hanyi sneered coldly; such a rabble was useless, even if there were more than ten thousand of them.
