Chapter 635: 319: The War Begins! Rescue Gui Qinshao!_2

...

All the vassal lords in the world almost held their breath, watching this great battle unfold.

Everyone knew that the moment Turing Tuo led his army into Tian Shui City, the King’s dignity would be completely trampled upon.

By then, Zhi Li would have almost become the de facto King.

And all the lords of the world faced a thorough realignment of alliances.

The second most powerful lord in the world, Marquis FuE of BaiHuo City, was holding two things in his hands at this time.

One was a letter written personally by Gui Xingfu.

This letter was filled with deep emotions, expressing Gui Xingfu’s extreme reluctance to go to war.

And because of the special relationship between BaiHuo City and Tian Shui City, he was requesting Marquis FuE’s forgiveness. In his heart, Gui Xingfu repeatedly promised that he would definitely not harm Fu Yan’er, who was taking refuge in Tian Shui City; he would surely send someone to take her back to BaiHuo City after the war.

Marquis FuE noticed that this letter only mentioned Fu Yan’er, and not Suo Qin (Fu Qinqin).

That is to say, in exterminating the Su Family, regardless of whether it was Zhi Li or Gui Xingfu, they intended to eradicate them completely, leaving no potential threats.

Although Suo Qin was Suo Lun’s illegitimate daughter, she was still of the Suo bloodline, and they would certainly not spare her either.

The other letter was a personal letter from Suo Ningbing.

In the letter, Suo Ningbing did not ask for help, but requested that Marquis FuE arrange for someone to take Fu Yan’er and Qin Qin away.

"Father, what should we do?" Fu Xian asked.

Fu Xian, the young lord of BaiHuo City. However, he was nearly fifty years old this year and was considered the most senior of all the young lords of the Rage Wave Kingdom.

They say a nephew is like his uncle, and Fu Xian did resemble Suo Lun to some extent, though Fu Xian appeared much more amiable.

"What do you mean, ’what should we do’?" Marquis FuE said.

Fu Xian said, "Ning Bing is after all your granddaughter, and Qin Qin is even more so my granddaughter. We may have had some unpleasantness with the Suo Family, but they are still our blood and in-laws. Surely we can’t just watch the Suo Family be wiped out, can we?"

Marquis FuE said, "Are you suggesting we rescue both Suo Ningbing and Suo Qin and bring them back to BaiHuo City?"

Fu Xian said, "Yes."

"Absurd," Marquis FuE said coldly. "Do you want to make BaiHuo City the target of everyone? Do you want Zhi Li to destroy BaiHuo City later?"

Fu Xian said, "Our BaiHuo City is special and detached; even if we offend Zhi Li, it won’t be that severe."

Marquis FuE said, "Our BaiHuo City is detached? You mean our close relationship with Dragon Temple, don’t you? Don’t forget that Zhi Li has the backing of the Dragon Temple. In that case, send Fu Yan’er and Qin Qin back to Zhen Du Divine Dragon Temple, let them be under house arrest for life. As for Suo Ningbing, we can’t save her."

...

Rou Ran City also received three letters.

The first was a personal letter from Zhi Li, written in a stern and aloof tone, describing the deep friendship between Ashi Luo, Ashimo, and the royal family, hoping that the Ashi Liren would continue to maintain it.

The second was a personal letter from Gui Xingfu, written in a respectful tone, articulating his own facts of going to war with Tian Shui City the Su Family.

The third was a personal letter from Suo Ningbing, asking in a gentle tone for Ashi Liren to take Fu Yan’er and Suo Qin away from Tian Shui City.

However, Ashi Liren did not read these three letters, for she was no longer in Rou Ran City.

Twenty-one days ago, just after receiving the first declaration of war from Gui Xingfu, she had already led twenty thousand Cavalry out east from Rou Ran City.

Then heading south, crossing the desert, bypassing Tianye City, following the plains at the foot of the great southern border mountains, they marched all the way towards Tian Shui City. Each rider had two horses, some even three.

She had said she would stand behind Suo Lun, and she intended to keep that promise.

Though twenty thousand Rouran Cavalry was not a large number, they were the world’s foremost Cavalry!

And at that moment, Helan Pass had only twenty thousand defenders. However, Rou Ran City’s sworn enemy, Night Orchid Duchy, was already embroiled in complete chaos.

Crown Prince Lan Tu ultimately failed to arrive in time. By the time he reached the Duchy of Landu, his younger brother Snow Marquis Lan Ye had already officially ascended the throne, becoming the ruler of the Night Orchid Duchy.

Moreover, an envoy was dispatched to Crown Prince Lan Tu’s camp to strip him of his military authority.

Not only that, all of Lan Tu’s relatives, concubines, and attendants were detained as hostages.

Crown Prince Lan Tu did not surrender without a fight. After several failed negotiations, the two sides went to war.

Now, this civil war had spread across the entire Night Orchid Duchy, with hundreds of thousands of troops on either side engaged in fierce combat, no longer able to concern themselves with the old grudges against the Rouran Ashi Family.

...

At this moment, Suo Lun, Zhi Yan, and Zhuang Zhixuan rode Lion-Tiger Beasts, traveling day and night without rest.

From Xichui Dadan City, after two days and nights, covering thousands of miles, they finally reached the western suburbs of Wangcheng Zidu.

The trio did not enter the city but instead went to a secret base of the Shadow Cabinet!

A few hours later!

Grand Eunuch Gao Yin appeared in front of Zhi Yan and Suo Lun.

The moment he saw Suo Lun, Grand Eunuch Gao Yin trembled violently and then rushed over to embrace him.

Elder Gao had never lost his composure like this before!

And this time, the immense joy truly overwhelmed his rationality.

After news of Suo Lun’s death had arrived, even though Zhi Yan didn’t believe it, Gao Yin’s heart had turned utterly cold and completely hopeless.

King Quo Bian was still struggling to live, merely gasping for breath, consuming liquid food, and had not spoken ever again.

And Gao Yin didn’t dare to convey the news of Suo Lun’s death.

After receiving the news of Suo Lun’s death, Gao Yin just waited coldly for the end to come.

Unexpectedly, Suo Lun was still alive, which was an immense joy for thousands.

Then, Gao Yin conveyed everything that happened in the Rage Wave Kingdom after Suo Lun was captured to him with the fastest speed and the most concise language.

The upheaval during Gui Qinshao’s wedding night was absolutely secret, with only a very few people knowing what happened.

However, Gao Yin concluded based on the think tank’s speculation that it was Gui Qinshao who assassinated Zhi Li.

"Turing Tuo’s two hundred thousand Army of Reversal has already assembled. Once the final deadline arrives, if you have not entered Tian Shui City to clear yourself of the suspicion of assassinating the junior lord, you will be judged guilty of high treason, and these two hundred thousand troops will enter Tian Shui City to extinguish the Suo Family!"

"Gui Xingfu’s forty thousand naval forces have already begun to assemble, marching southward to annihilate the Suo Family’s navy and seize Chaos Stone Island."

"Duke Zhi Wei’s army of a hundred and fifty thousand has already assembled, merely less than three hundred miles away from Tian Shui City."

Hundreds of thousands of troops from all directions heading towards Tian Shui City, it looked as if there was no chance for survival.

After speaking, Gao Yin and Zhi Yan turned their attention towards Suo Lun.

The situation at hand was one of absolute despair, a dead end.

It seemed there was no hope left.

Suo Lun closed his eyes, and after three minutes, he opened them and said, "Princess, Elder Gao. This battle seems perilous, but in reality, it’s a rare opportunity, one that can completely turn the tables and plunge a knife deep into Zhi Li’s heart."

Zhi Yan was surprised and asked, "My husband, this battle situation seems as if there’s no hope at all, how should we fight it?"

Suo Lun replied, "It’s simple, you fight your battle, and I’ll fight mine."

Then, Suo Lun added, "The first step is to rescue Gui Qinshao, which we will do tonight!"
