Chapter 392: 210: Save Zhi Ning! Secret Meeting (2 updates)_2
Turing Tuo said, "We, the Turing Clan, are not nobles and lack ships so we need you to deploy your merchant ships to help transport my troops."
Lord Luan Yang, Tuli Ming said, "No problem, how many transport ships for the troops do you need? How many troops are you planning to deploy?"
"Fifty thousand," Turing Tuo said.
Upon hearing this, everyone trembled.
The combined naval forces of the three families already amounted to over fifty thousand. Adding Turing Tuo’s fifty thousand troops would make it nearly one hundred and ten thousand.
Was it necessary to deploy one hundred and ten thousand troops just to annihilate the tiny Tianshui City?
Lord Luan Yang said, "No problem, as many transport ships for the troops as you need."
Then, Turing Chen couldn’t help saying, "But, do we need to attack entirely from the sea? With one hundred and ten thousand troops, whether through Tianlang Pass or Wind Thunder Fortress, we could easily crush into Tianshui City Territory."
Prince Zili nodded and said, "It’s absolutely necessary, and they all have to be disguised as pirates."
This statement gave everyone a sense of absurdity.
Where in the world could one find a pirate force of over one hundred thousand? These one hundred thousand troops masquerading as pirates was like the King’s new clothes, easily seen through at a glance.
Prince Zili said, "Ridiculous though the guise of pirates may be, it’s still necessary to wear it. After all, the kingdom’s army cannot attack a noble’s territory without reason. Even though King Quo Bian has refrained from issuing edicts from the palace, he can still allow Gao Yin to wield the Dragon Scepter and slay any commander who invades Tianshui City."
Indeed, it was easy for one hundred and ten thousand troops to attack Tianshui City by simply crushing over it.
But no one could stop Gao Yin from using the Dragon Scepter to kill. Just like Duke Zhi Wei back then, although he could have flattened Tianshui City with a single command, he would have been doomed to death if he chose that path. Thus, he ultimately ordered a retreat because who in a position of power would want to die?
Although King Quo Bian was alienated by the nobles and elites, a king was still a king. With the Dragon Scepter and control over the inner court, he could take lives.
Prince Zili asked, "When can these five hundred plus ships and one hundred thousand pirate troops complete their assembly? When will they attack Chaos Stone Island and Tianshui City?"
Lord Luan Yang said, "As long as there is enough military funding, my navy can complete the assembly within a month."
A Shi Zhuo said, "Yingzhou Island never makes a loss-making deal, and their fleet is scattered in various places, controlling multiple trade routes. After the funds are in place, it will probably take three months to complete the assembly."
"Good, then a hundred days," Prince Zili said. "In a hundred days, one hundred thousand pirates will land in Tianshui City, annihilating the Suo Clan, cutting them down without mercy."
Suddenly, A Shi Zhuo said, "After annihilating the Suo Clan, how shall we divide Chaos Stone Island and Tianshui City Territory?"
At this, Prince Zili’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Lord Luan Yang, Tuli Ming said, "I want half of the Chaos Stone Salt Field."
"Agreed," Prince Zili said. "The other half of the Chaos Stone Salt Field will go to A Shi Luo and Yingzhou Island."
A Shi Zhuo said, "Suo Ningbing is the wife of our young master, a part of Tianshui City Territory should rightfully belong to the Ashi Clan."
Prince Zili’s eyes flickered, then he laughed and said, "Agreed, the Tianshui City Territory will be lent to me for twenty years. After twenty years, the Gui Clan and the Ashi Clan will evenly divide five hundred li of land from Tianshui City Territory."
Thus, the Annihilate Sauron Secret Meeting concluded.
The combined effort of the four families and an army of one hundred and ten thousand would annihilate the Suo Clan.
Even the post-war benefits had been almost completely divided.
And at that moment, Eunuch Li Zhu rushed into Duke Turing’s Mansion, arriving at the highest castle gate of the Duke’s mansion.
"Little Monkey, what is so urgent?" Guarding the outside of the castle was Prince Zili’s personal chief eunuch, Li Chenglian, the second greatest master of the Rage Wave Royal Court.
Normally, Li Zhu would kneel and kowtow directly upon seeing his foster father, with the utmost reverence.
However, now he only knelt down quickly, saying urgently, "Godfather, please immediately inform His Highness that Commandery Princess Zhining has attempted suicide by slitting her wrists in the Quiet Chamber."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenglian’s color drained, and then he rushed fastest to the highest-floor conference room of the castle, approaching Prince Zili to whisper, "Your Highness, the Commandery Princess has slit her wrists to commit suicide."
Prince Zili’s gaze quivered, knowing his sister better than anyone else.
The first thing he thought of was that Zhi Ning must truly be pregnant. Her resolute suicide attempt was a plea for help, to save the child in her womb.
Instantly, Prince Zili’s complexion turned ashen.
They say daughters are forthcoming, and it was indeed no exaggeration; knowing well that Suo Lun was her number one enemy, Zhi Ning was still willing to give birth to his evil seed.
Suddenly, Prince Zili ordered in a low voice, "Go, hasten to the Hidden Garden, and upon arrival, strike her abdomen womb directly with dragon force, killing the evil seed inside her belly."
Li Chenglian went pale as, being a eunuch with no children, he viewed Zhi Ning as his own. Now Prince Zili was asking him to take action against her.
But not only did he view Zhi Ning as his own, but he also felt the same towards Prince Zili. Not to mention, Prince Zili was his lord, his everything.
"Yes," Li Chenglian said, then like a ghostly shadow, he floated away.
...
In the Quiet Chamber beneath Dragon Temple’s Hidden Garden,
Zhi Ning racked her brain but could not think of any way to save herself.
This was an inconspicuous estate of the Dragon Temple, very secluded, and the chamber was an underground vault without even a window, except for some air holes.
Therefore, it was impossible to convey any message to the outside.
