Chapter 636: 320: Rescue Qin Shu! Love that’s etched in the bones and remembered in the heart!

"Gui Qinshao is imprisoned in the dungeons of Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion, and it is possible to rescue her," Gao Yin said. "However, there will be a great cost. Are you sure it’s worth it?"

In Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion, there are numerous experts, not only the powerful eunuchs from the Li Family but also elites from Heibing Mansion and experts from Yin Zhou. To rescue someone from within would indeed require a huge price to be paid.

Last time, when Suo Lun encountered an ambush, more than a dozen Dragon Samurai from the Shadow Cabinet were cleanly slaughtered by the Demon Continent, severely crippling them.

Thus, the crucial question was whether or not it was worth it to spend a significant cost to rescue Gui Qinshao. If she were merely a beautiful woman, then there was no doubt it wouldn’t be worth it, even if this woman might have had an affair with Suo Lun.

Suo Lun said, "I can make a profit off her that includes a Linhai City, and also break a few of Zhi Li’s bones."

Upon hearing this, Grand Eunuch Gao Yin’s eyes lit up. "Rescue, no matter the cost."

Suo Lun said, "Of course, charging into Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion would still be too costly. We need to find a way to make Zhi Li leave the mansion, which would at least draw away more than half of the experts with him."

Making Zhi Li leave the mansion seemed easy, but in reality, it was difficult to achieve.

Because Zhi Li was currently not fully healed from an injury to his vital parts, he had basically stopped leaving the mansion. Even if the King called him to the palace, he might not go; it had been several months since he last entered the palace.

Suo Lun said, "After he gets news of my death, what he desires most is Zhi Yan’s surrender. However, almost a month has passed, and we have yet to send any signal of surrender. Therefore, Zhi Li had Gui Xingfu attack Tian Shui City to probe and pressure us. Tonight, let Duke Zhi Ting invite Zhi Li to a meeting and specify that it must be at a neutral location."

Gao Yin nodded; this plan was feasible!

Duke Zhi Ting represented both the King and Zhi Yan. Any response from him was something Zhi Li could hardly wait for, so he would definitely go to the meeting.

"Do we need to tell Duke Zhi Ting that you’re not dead and have returned?" Gao Yin asked.

Suo Lun shook his head. "No, Zhi Li is too cunning and sly. If we let Duke Zhi Ting know that I am still alive, he will show his hand."

"Good," Gao Yin said. "I’ll return to Wangcheng Zidu now and notify Zhi Li."

Then, Gao Yin left for Wangcheng Zidu ahead of everyone else.

Half an hour later, Suo Lun, Zhi Yan, and Zhuang Zhixuan, with the protection of experts from the Shadow Cabinet, stealthily infiltrated Wangcheng Zidu.

...

Wangcheng, inside Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion.

"Has Gui Qinshao not yet compromised and begged for mercy?" Zhi Li lay on the couch, wearing loose clothing.

The female Dragon Samurai, Jian Liu, knelt on the ground, shaking her head. "No, and she’s gradually becoming unresponsive to my tortures."

Zhi Li asked, "Is she that resilient?"

Jian Liu said, "No, she’s completely given up hope and is seeking death now, becoming unresponsive to my torment."

Zhi Li’s face twitched.

He really didn’t want to kill Gui Qinshao, this peerless beauty.

He had thought that this delicate and spoiled young lady, who was terrified of hardship, would quickly yield to a bit of torture, obediently become his pet canary from then on, and let him play with her snow-white jade-like body however he wanted.

But unexpectedly, she was now resolutely seeking death.

However, he quickly cast these thoughts aside as mere trifles. After all, they were just a matter of little women, and he shouldn’t let them delay serious matters.

Since she could not be subdued, then it was simple—he would just tie her up and rape her a dozen times.

If she ended up being tamed, that would be better, but if not, he would simply destroy her sanity, and she would become a peerless beauty in the form of a living corpse. Although it was a bit tasteless to possess her in such a state, she was still a stunning beauty.

"Alright, no more torturing or training her for now. Take care of her body and make sure there are no marks on her. I’ll need her at any time," Zhi Li ordered.

"Yes!" Jian Liu said, with her head lowered, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Zhi Li closed his eyes, imagining Gui Qinshao’s beautiful face and seductive figure, and felt waves of heat in his heart.

Just then, the voice of Li Chenglian resounded from outside: "Your Highness."

Zhi Li waved his hand, and his concubine Jian Liu left the room.

Grand Eunuch Li Chenglian came in, speaking softly, "Duke Zhi Ting requests an audience!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Li’s gaze flinched, and his heart surged with joy as he abruptly sat up.

Finally, the day had come; the other party couldn’t hold back any longer and was requesting a meeting.

All this time, Zhi Li had sent Gui Qinshao’s navy to the south and framed Suo Lun for the attempted assassination of a prince, all to make Zhi Yan’s side surrender completely.

Now, more than a month had passed, and there was finally a response.

Zhi Li said proudly, "Let him in."

Li Chenglian said, "He suggests a third-party location for the meeting, not entering Prince’s Mansion."

Zhi Li’s eyes narrowed. He was a deeply suspicious person and immediately wondered what Duke Zhi Ting intended by this. Could it be a ploy to lure him out of the mansion for an assassination attempt?

It never occurred to him that someone might come to rescue Gui Qinshao. In his mind, she was a discarded pawn abandoned by everyone, her only value being her beauty and figure. Suo Lun was dead, so it was impossible for anyone to rescue her.

Thus, his first instinct was to fear a possible assassination plot against himself.

However, he quickly dismissed this ridiculous notion.

Firstly, the Shadow Cabinet simply did not possess the ability to assassinate him. Secondly, even if they managed to kill him, Zhi Yan would not be able to ascend to the throne.
