Chapter 564: 287: Compromise! Cunning!_4

Liren said, "But when Zhi Yan succeeded to the throne, she faced opposition from all over the world."

"Please, that’s completely different," said Suo Lun. "Rouran City is just private property of the Ashi Clan, and other high-ranking officials and samurai are all just employees. Frankly, whoever becomes the City Lord is an internal affair of the Ashi Clan. Whereas the Rage Wave Kingdom isn’t just the Zhi Family’s Rage Wave, but a shared domain among dukes, nobles, and the royal family."

Liren nodded; Suo Lun had a point.

Suo Lun said, "It’s because A Shi Zhuo leads them that these high-ranking lords, high-ranking civil officials, and high-ranking generals are cold and resistant towards you. But even so, they’re only sitting by and watching A Shi Zhuo force you out rather than doing it themselves. Hence, you only need to do two things to make all the high-ranking civil and military officers dare not oppose you."

"What things?" Liren asked.

"First, obtain the support of your mother, Lady Li Zhi, because she’s the only one who can nominally suppress you. Second, kill A Shi Zhuo," said Suo Lun. "Once these two things are done, all your crises will be resolved, and no one will dare oppose you openly. Because in one hand you’ll hold the sword, and in the other the seal. You’ll have both the authority and the ability to kill. Who wouldn’t fear death and test whether your sword edge is sharp? Besides, with your stunning beauty, having such a City Lord for them to look upon every day, everyone would probably find it a pleasing sight."

Ashi Liren clenched her fist, resisting the urge to slap him again.

Suo Lun then solemnly added, "Of course, this must be done before Zhi Li gets involved. Once Zhi Li enters the fray, it’ll really be too late."

"But my mother has never liked me and won’t support me," Liren said.

"Don’t worry, I will take care of it for you," Suo Lun said. "I’ll have it sorted by tonight."

Liren’s face flushed, and after a long hesitation, she said, "You, you’re not going to employ the beauty trap, are you?"

A shudder ran through Suo Lun’s body, and he said with disgust, "Ali, your taste is too perverse."

Turning her head away, Ashi Liren gritted her teeth and said, "One day, I will beat you to death with my own hands!"

Suo Lun stood up and walked outside.

"What are you doing?" asked Liren.

"I’m going to fix things with your mother. Then tomorrow, you and your mother can join forces to kill A Shi Zhuo. By tomorrow night, your crisis will be completely resolved, and you’ll be firmly seated as the City Lord," Suo Lun said.

"Go ahead, and thank you for your effort," said Ashi Liren.

"If I resolve this crisis for you and you succeed in taking over the Liren Mansion, could you grant me a request?" Suo Lun asked.

"Even if you help me take over the Liren Mansion, I will not publicly pledge my loyalty to Zhi Yan," said Ashi Liren.

"My condition is that you remove your mask and let people see your peerless beauty, using your charm to awe the civil and military officials," Suo Lun said.

Grinding her teeth, Liren said coldly, "Leave now, or I might not be able to stop myself from beating you to death."

Suo Lun fled quickly, escaping from the Ashi Liren Mansion through a secret passage.

Ashi Liren exhaled deeply, her clenched fist relaxing as she took big breaths to release the anger inside her.

She couldn’t imagine how she, an ice-cold woman with unparalleled martial skills, was teased by a man like Suo Lun the entire night.

The bastard teased her all night long, and she was helpless against him.

But how would he deal with her mother, Lady Li Zhi? Would his methods be indecent?

Liren was full of anticipation, yet she did not wish to know.

...

Outside the Rouran City Lord’s Mansion, in a small grove, lay the City Lord’s Mansion that Liren had always been unable to enter.

After leaving the Ashi Liren Mansion through the secret passage, Suo Lun slipped quietly into the grove under cover of night.

And at that moment, a curvaceous, voluptuous, beautiful young woman was eagerly waiting there.

As soon as Suo Lun appeared, she threw herself into his embrace, saying softly, "Why are you so late today? I’ve been anxiously waiting."

Her voice was gentle, like water, and her plump body was soft and springy.
