Chapter 331: 186: Ning Bing’s Secret! A Base Liaison with Zhi Ning!_3

Suo Lun was dumbfounded. How could this be mere perversion?

"Not only that, when discussing taking me back to my mother’s home, he mentioned that we would pass Wangcheng Zidu, and he heard that Prince Zili’s wife was beautiful. He wanted me to agree to swap wives with Zili for fun for a couple of days," Suo Ningbing said. "When he made this request, he was completely natural, not the slightest bit ashamed, as if it was as normal as eating or drinking."

Suo Lun couldn’t believe what he was hearing. This man was beyond perverse, simply... indescribable. What kind of education had he received in the Demon Continent?

Remembering the splendid fleet on the sea, brought by Ashi Luo, Suo Lun couldn’t help but ask, "Rou Ran City is the westernmost stronghold, known for its cavalry. Where did he get a fleet from?"

Princess Zhi said, "He conquered the daughter of the Island Master of Yingzhou, thereby gaining her fleet."

Suo Lun had conquered Yan Nai’er and acquired the Silver Wolf Legion.

This bastard had conquered the daughter of Yingzhou Island Master and obtained the Yingzhou Fleet.

This bastard’s rise to power was really similar to Suo Lun’s. That’s why Suo Lun found him so particularly loathsome. It was a natural, irreconcilable kind of loathing.

"Little brother, I would rather die than leave your side. I will take care of you for the rest of your life," Suo Ningbing said softly yet firmly.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone take you away from me," Suo Lun affirmed, holding Ning Bing’s face with determination.

...

Back in the castle hall, Suo Lun said decisively, "Ashi Luo, you’re not welcome here. So please leave!"

Ashi Luo said in surprise, "You’re driving me away? I’m Suo Ningbing’s husband, I might as well be half the master here."

Suo Lun said, "My sister has already divorced you; she’s no longer your wife."

Ashi Luo said, "In our Rouran, there’s no such thing as divorce. Alive, she belongs to me; dead, she’s still my ghost! So no matter what, today I have to take her with me. The main reason I waited here for you for three days was to see if you could make it back from Tian Shui City alive."

From the staircase, Suo Ningbing said coldly, "Ashi Luo, you can’t take me away, unless it’s my corpse you’re taking."

Ashi Luo shrugged his shoulders and said, "A corpse will do!"

At that statement, Suo Lun’s gaze turned icy, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Take action!"

Instantly, Ye Jingyu, Suo Feiyang, and all the samurai drew their swords.

The scimitar-armed warriors behind Ashi Luo also swiftly drew their weapons.

Suo Lun shouted, "Gao Ningshi, what are you still doing here?"

Gao Ningshi, the eunuch left by Duke Zhi Ting on Chaos Stone Island, who had once saved Suo Ningbing and captured Gui Qinshao, was a master of very high ability, usually tasked with protecting King Zhi Bian.

No sooner had Suo Lun finished speaking than several figures floated forward, led by Gao Ningshi, one of the four eunuchs.

Gao Ningshi, his hair completely white and his face kind, had very long eyebrows that almost drooped to the corners of his mouth. He wielded a Buddhist whisk as a weapon.

Although he was over sixty, his martial prowess was exceptionally high, surpassing that of Li Zhu who served by Zhi Ning’s side. He was considered the most skilled fighter on Chaos Stone Island.

However, upon entering, Gao Ningshi did not move to act, standing still instead.

Suo Lun asked, "Eunuch Gao, why aren’t you acting yet?"

"They won’t act against me; in fact, they will treat me as an honored guest," Ashi Luo said. "Because the people behind Zhi Ting need me. Everyone knows, now that most lords and nobles are supporting Zhi Li. As the number one lord, Rouran City, of course, Princess Zhi Yan would hope for my support."

Then, touching a woman at his side, Ashi Luo said, "In my eyes, beauty is justice. Princess Zhi Yan is beautiful, so I’m willing to side with her. But I demanded a small condition — I want to take Suo Ningbing back to Rou Ran City, and Zhi Ting agreed. So here I am."

At those words, Suo Lun’s expression changed drastically. Even in his heart, he was furious. What right did Zhi Ting have to agree to hand over Suo Ningbing to Ashi Luo?

Ashi Luo said, "You’re a lord, and so am I. But I have millions of citizens and tens of thousands of troops, plus the number one cavalry in the world. My power is easily ten times yours. So, here’s the question, if the King and Princess Zhi had to choose one of us, whom do you think they would prefer? Who would they abandon?"

Suo Lun turned to Eunuch Gao Ningshi and said, "Eunuch Gao, now you must make a choice as the representative of Duke Zhi Ting. If you choose me, take action and seize Ashi Luo. Otherwise, I will consider my alliance with Zhi Ting broken."

Ashi Luo shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is fun, interesting. I love gambling the most. So, Eunuch Gao, please choose, will you ally with me or Suo Lun? Besides, I must take Suo Ningbing with me today, dead or alive."

And so, both Suo Lun and Ashi Luo watched Gao Ningshi, waiting for his final decision.

Gao Ningshi’s face, usually unmarred by wrinkles, now contorted into a frown, then he said to Suo Lun, "I’m sorry, Count Suo Lun, but I truly cannot make a choice."

Suo Lun’s face grew icy as he replied, "If you can’t make a choice, that’s the same as having made one."

At that moment, he felt not anger but a cold emptiness within.

Then he ordered directly, "Suo Feiyang, tell all the troops on the island to expel Duke Zhi Ting’s men. Ye Jingyu, go to Tian Shui City to bring Commandery Princess Zhi Ning over, and ask her whether it’s still timely for me to cater to her now."

Gao Ningshi said coldly, "Count Suo Lun, are you betraying His Majesty?"

Suo Lun said, "I’ve always been quick to turn, quicker than flipping through a book — it changes in an instant!"
