Chapter 563: 287: Compromise! Cunning!_3

Yuanba stuck out his tongue and said, "Got it."

Then he scurried off like a streak of smoke, still clutching the unloaded flintlock pistol in his arms.

...

"I’m now called the City Lord, but I’m like a prisoner, with even my personal freedom restricted," Ashi Liren said. "There’s not a single person loyal to me, I can’t command even one soldier. I’m surrounded by enemies, in peril on all sides."

Suo Lun said, "If nothing unexpected happens, within two or three days, your position as City Lord will be abolished, and the charge will probably be collusion with me."

Ashi Liren’s beautiful eyes trembled fiercely, and she glared at Suo Lun fiercely and said, "Then why did you sneak into my mansion, making it impossible for me to clear my name?"

Suo Lun said, "This is actually unfounded, it doesn’t matter, let the rumors spread chaotically."

So my chastity is sullied, and you, being a man, don’t care?

Ashi Liren felt indignant inside but didn’t voice it, she was not a woman of fragility.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Now in Rou Ran City, all the high-ranking samurai, senior civil officials, high-ranking generals, and the Ashi Clan are on A Shi Zhuo’s side. I have no one beside me, trying to turn the tables is probably harder than ascending to the heavens."

"Who said you have no one by your side? You have me," Suo Lun said.

Ashi Liren said coldly, "If you say one more thing like that, I’ll definitely hit you."

Suo Lun said, "Indeed, there are many followers by A Shi Zhuo’s side, and you have no one. To defeat A Shi Zhuo and truly turn the situation around, don’t say it’s as hard as ascending to the heavens, it’s actually... as easy as turning over one’s hand!"

At these words, Ashi Liren was taken aback and said coldly, "Be serious."

"I am serious," Suo Lun said. "Now I ask you, what advantages do you have?"

Thinking for a long while, Ashi Liren shook her head and said, "I have no advantages."

"Nonsense, how can you have no advantages?" Suo Lun extended his index finger and said, "First advantage, you possess peerless beauty that makes anyone who sees you tremble and dare not breathe. So, from today onwards, don’t wear a mask. Show your peerless beauty."

Before he could finish, a slap from Liren really did come his way.

Suo Lun touched his slapped face, acting as if nothing had happened, and extended his middle finger saying, "Second advantage, you can hit people."

Another slap from Liren came his way as she said angrily, "At this time, can you be serious for once, must you tease me like this?"

Touching his left cheek again, Suo Lun spoke earnestly, "I am serious. You have a clear sense of love and hate, you can’t tolerate a speck of dust in your eyes, cold as frost, your martial arts are so high that there are few in the entire Rage Wave Kingdom who can match you. That is your second advantage."

Liren said, "What use is high proficiency in martial arts? Should I just randomly kill people?"

"Yes, if martial arts aren’t for killing, what are they for?" Suo Lun said, then extended his ring finger saying, "Third advantage, you hold the position of City Lord, you are the sovereign, it is only right for you to kill."

Ashi Liren said, "Now, everyone is against me, am I to kill everyone?"

"Ali, you’re too straightforward," Suo Lun said.

Hearing the name Ali, Liren was about to slap again but saw that Suo Lun had stopped speaking and turned his face to receive her slap.

Suddenly, Liren gritted her teeth.

This shameless bastard, impossible to kill and useless to hit, truly leaves one helpless.

Ashi Liren said coldly, "Suo Lun, is this how you thick-facedly get a woman? Are you now going to use these despicable tactics in front of me?"

Suo Lun laughed and said, "Recently, Fu Yan’er came back to me. This woman has no face, no shame, constantly seeks my favor, to the point of annoyance. To please me, she even gave up her dignity. But the more she does so, the less I think of her, I don’t even want to touch her, truly a foolish and base woman."

Liren’s expression changed.

Suo Lun continued to laugh, "And my unabashed persistence in front of you is no different from Fu Yan’er’s behavior in front of me. Saying this about her, aren’t I the pot calling the kettle black?"

At these words, Liren’s heart trembled.

Fu Yan’er, what kind of person is she? Superficial, vain, and brainless, only desiring to be decked in gold and jewels, truly without any self-respect.

Who is Suo Lun? Extremely intelligent, extremely beautiful, extremely proud, dignity as high as the sky.

Why would he be so persistent, so shamelessly tenacious?

Suo Lun said, "Even though I’m annoyed by Fu Yan’er, under her constant pestering, I too am helpless. And my pestering in front of you, probably all I want is for you... to be helpless."

Upon hearing this, Liren’s heart trembled again, and then she bowed and said, "I’m sorry, my superficiality has made you laugh."

"Laugh indeed, laugh indeed," Suo Lun continued. "Do you think everyone is against you?"

"Of course," Liren said.

"Ali, you are unable to see the woods for the trees," Suo Lun said.

At this ’Ali,’ Liren’s beautiful eyes trembled yet again, but helplessly, she said, "I would like to hear the details."

Suo Lun said, "Everyone is acting like weather vanes, not opposing you. They can accept a City Lord who spends all day cultivating longevity and neglects political affairs, so why can’t they accept a female City Lord? Moreover, you have Ashimo’s last wishes, the King’s decree, and it’s been made perfectly clear that you are only temporarily managing Rou Ran City and that it will eventually be passed to Yuanba. So, this is everyone’s reaction to you becoming City Lord: Eh? A female City Lord? That’s a bit improper. That’s all!"
