Chapter 344: 191: Saving the King, the Hand of Miracle!

Duke Zhi Wei sent a messenger to Heavenly Water Main City, delivering a personal letter from Commandery Princess Zhining.

In the letter, she ordered Suo Lun to immediately release Turing Duo, Gui Qinqu, Nurdan, and nineteen other high-ranking samurai lords.

At that time, Suo Lun was not in the City Lord’s mansion, so Suo Ningbing acted according to Suo Lun’s previous instructions and took the initiative to release only Gui Qinqu.

Not only that, but she also disguised herself as Suo Lun, dressed in his clothes, heightened the soles of her shoes, and pretended to be Suo Lun, meeting Gui Qinqu before his departure.

If it had been Turing Duo, he would have seen through this fake Suo Lun at a glance.

However, Gui Qinqu had not seen Suo Lun up close and in person until the time he was captured.

Moreover, during their meeting, the Ning Bing who was impersonating Suo Lun was sitting and writing a letter, all the while instinctively rubbing her waist as if it were very sore.

After finishing the letter, Ning Bing put the secret message in an envelope, sealed it with beeswax, and handed it personally to Ye Jingyu. In reality, however, this secret message had already been composed by Suo Lun, and Suo Ningbing was merely pretending to write it.

Ye Jingyu handed the secret message to Gui Qinqu, saying, "Deliver this personally to Commandery Princess Zhining and make sure no one else sees it."

Gui Qinqu nodded, then Ye Jingyu escorted him out of the City Lord’s mansion, gave him a horse, and let him leave Heavenly Water Main City.

As he rode out of Tianshui City, Gui Qinqu let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the defeat and captivity were not his fault, they were a great stain on his life.

Fortunately, Suo Lun hadn’t had the chance to extort him; otherwise, there’s no telling how much his father would have had to pay to ransom him back from Suo Lun.

Although he and his younger brother Gui Qinzhong had no chance to inherit the position of City Lord of Linhai, he still hoped to secure a place for himself after the great upheaval following Zhi Li His Highness’s ascension to power.

If Suo Lun extorted his father because of him, Gui Qinqu’s prospects would definitely become much bleaker.

After all, he wasn’t his sister Gui Qinshao; she was their father’s darling, and no matter how much trouble she caused, it didn’t matter.

Riding swiftly all the way, more than an hour later, Gui Qinqu entered the grand tent of Duke Zhi Wei’s military encampment and met with Commandery Princess Zhining.

"Did you see Suo Lun?" asked Zhi Ning.

"I did," said Gui Qinqu.

"What was he doing at the time? Did he have any particular mannerisms or gestures?" Zhi Ning asked, clearly concerned that Suo Lun might be playing a trick to escape.

Gui Qinqu said, "He was writing a letter to Your Highness, and it seemed like he was injured. He kept rubbing his waist with his other hand."

Hearing this, Zhi Ning’s cheeks suddenly grew hot.

Why Suo Lun was rubbing his waist, she knew all too well; during that hour, Suo Lun had climaxed at least four times.

She hadn’t felt anything in the heat of the moment, but now she was definitely suffering from an aching back, just like Zhi Ning, who was fidgeting uncomfortably.

"The letter?" asked Zhi Ning.

Gui Qinqu stepped forward and presented the secret letter from Suo Lun.

She first checked the beeswax seal, which was intact. Zhi Ning opened the envelope and took out the secret letter inside.

"Alright, you may leave now," said Commandery Princess Zhining.

Immediately, Gui Qinqu left.

Alone in the grand tent, Zhi Ning finally opened the secret letter to read it.

"Ning, I know you don’t trust me. When I hand over all the hostages, your army will attack my Tian Shui City, and then it will be the end of me. But why don’t you trust me? Is it because of my cunning and deceit? Yes, I am extremely cunning and deceitful. To protect Tian Shui City, to protect my sister, I would do anything, including becoming your mistress and offering my body to please you."

Reading this, Zhi Ning couldn’t help but curse silently, "Shameless, utterly shameless."

Suo Lun’s letter continued, "Ning, do you know what I told Eunuch Gao Ningshi, Zhi Ting’s eunuch, on Chaos Stone Island? I asked him to bring back a message, which was: Zhi Ting, you idiot."

Zhi Ning also muttered to herself in silence, "Zhi Ting, you idiot."

Such words felt great to say, especially coming from a woman of her noble royal status and stunning beauty.

"Ning, it is said that a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace. We’ve been intimate four or five times by now, which surely counts for several years of grace. Could you really bear to doom me to death? Don’t you want me to warm your bed every day? How could you bear the thought of our potential future child growing up fatherless? Believe me, I really want to help you, to be loyal to you."

"Take note, I intend to be loyal to Commandery Princess Zhining, not to Zhi Li His Highness. I know he doesn’t like me, and I don’t like him either; we’re incompatible. So my loyalty is to you. A year ago, for you, I was willing to venture alone into the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range to seek the Dragon Seal Rubbing. In the future, for you, I would be willing to move heaven and earth."

"You might ask why, if I’m so devoted to you, I fought against you? It’s because I needed to retrieve my dignity first. I had to reclaim Tian Shui City using my own wit. Only then could I stand proudly before you, and only then could I make you fall for me. And then, I could take you over and over again proudly."

"Of course, I originally wanted to use the King’s power to defeat you and Zhi Li, and then have you beneath me. But now that the King has abandoned me, well, fine, I’ll be the one under you."

"Ning, stop testing me. I swear on the Suo ancestors that once your troops enter even half a step into Tian Shui City, I will have no choice but to fight to the death in a mutual destruction. Ning, give me a chance to prove how much I love you."
