Chapter 413: 220: Go to Rock Island_3

Ye Jingyu came over and poured a drink for Suo Lun.

Suo Lun reached out his hand and gently pinched her pert buttocks.

Ye Jingyu trembled, sweetness filling her heart, yet she dared not show any change in her expression. However, the embarrassment she felt disappeared completely.

Zhi Yan said to Suo Lun, "We agreed in the royal city that we can’t rely on the Rock Pirates."

Suo Ningbing said, "Even though Yan Mo is our brother, they care little for blood ties. Rock Island is a den of wolves, and I forbid you from going there."

Yan Nai’er earnestly said, "My husband, if you must go, I will go with you."

Suo Lun’s heart quivered; it was the first time Yan Nai’er had called him her husband, and the two were not yet married.

And after she had said it, Yan Nai’er’s cheeks flushed red instantly, but she still kept her gaze fixed on Suo Lun.

Suo Lun knew why she did it. She was declaring her sovereignty in front of Zhen Yan Princess.

When it came to love, she had always been so brave and proactive.

"No," Suo Lun said. "Rock Island is a tiger’s den for men, but for women, it is utterly hellish. Even the most skilled female fighters should not go."

That place was completely inhumane for women of the continent.

Overall, Rock Island was a place no less dangerous than the Barbarian Domain, except they looked just like humans.

Suo Lun continued, "We can’t lose Chaos Stone Island, nor Magic Mirror Secret Island. They are our greatest sources of wealth and the main assurance of Princess’s succession to the throne. Without money, we can’t recruit soldiers or buy horses, and we won’t be able to defeat Zhi Li. And most importantly, if we pull back all our troops and focus on defending Heavenly Water Main City, we will surely perish. The enemy’s ground forces are endless. If we can get the support of the Rock Pirates, there is the possibility of annihilating the enemy’s Allied Army at sea. Not only could we protect Tianshui City, but also save Chaos Stone Island and Magic Mirror Secret Island."

Zhi Yan said, "But all this seems..."

Suo Lun said, "Princess, I know what you want to say, but rest assured, I have a plan. I must go to Rock Island and recruit the Rock Pirate naval forces."

...

At Duke Turing’s Mansion.

Turing Duo knelt before Duke Turing Tuo.

"Gui Qinshao did not compromise or sell information to Suo Lun?" Duke Turing Tuo said.

"No," Turing Duo said. "I was also very surprised. It seems her love for Uncle Gui Xingfu surpasses everything."

"I have really misjudged her." Duke Turing Tuo said.

Turing Duo said, "Since Gui Qinshao did not betray information to Suo Lun, I had no choice but to do it myself. I’ve already given Suo Lun all the real information about the number of troops in the four-family Allied Army, the scale of the ships, and the timing of their attack."

Duke Turing Tuo said, "Did he suspect you?"

"No," Turing Duo said. "Because I’m about to marry a monster like Tuli Yang, it’s natural to hope for a major defeat of the Alliance Army of Extinction. Even to show my ’throw caution to the wind’ mentality, I stripped naked in front of him and awaited his violation."

Duke Turing Tuo said, "Then do you think Suo Lun will go to Rock Island for help?"

"He will!" Turing Duo said. "He is the sort of person who has an extreme penchant for adventure. With even a one percent chance, he will go all out to fight for it."

Duke Turing Tuo nodded and said, "Good, then let’s prepare to have him die on Rock Island! Then, in the ensuing great battle of extermination, our family will reap the greatest benefits."

"Yes," Turing Duo said.

Duke Turing Tuo said, "You are truly my daughter, determined and ruthless at the crucial moment—even able to doom the man you favor. That’s good."

Turing Duo said, "I want to prove that I have never been partial to Suo Lun. For the sake of our family, I am willing to do anything."

...

In the dead of night.

Suo Lun left Tianshui City alone in secret, quickly made his way to the seaside, and then set sail to the east.
