Chapter 664: 330: Gui Xingfu captured! Kneeling and begging for mercy!_2

Fortunately, he had chosen the fastest Yandao Warship, and now the distance between him and the enemy was growing ever larger. It would be impossible for Yan Chuo’er to catch up.

More than an hour later, the Yandao Warship that Gui Xingfu was on was already over a hundred li away from Chaos Stone Island, and the chaotic scene behind was no longer visible.

Behind him, the Rock Pirate Fleet led by Yan Chuo’er had been completely shaken off.

...

Finally safe!

Gui Xingfu’s legs gave out, and he completely collapsed onto the deck.

He had nothing left, he had lost everything!

As expected, Linhai City had completely fallen and was occupied by Suo Lun!

The army of forty thousand he had led not only failed to take Chaos Stone Island, but was annihilated to the last man.

After he fled to the Royal City, what should he do? Did he still have any value to Zhi Li?

Luan Yang City might be fine, but the Hai Clan of Yingzhou Island would not let him off after such a disastrous defeat in this battle.

The Hai Clan had already lost thirty thousand naval troops in the last major battle, and another ten thousand this time.

Nearly half of the Hai Clan’s hundred thousand naval forces were now lost. Hai Gang had allied with Zhi Li to ascend to the mainland at such a great cost, yet gained nothing.

He believed the Hai Clan’s leader would even desire to tear out his, Gui Xingfu’s, heart.

And the Rock Pirates, with a loss of over a thousand of their five thousand men supporting him, now had the remaining three thousand fed to Suo Lun. They too probably wished to flay and eviscerate Gui Xingfu.

Did he, Gui Xingfu, still have any value now?

Looking up at the stars and the bright moon, Gui Xingfu felt a surge of sorrow as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"It seems my sins against Suo Long run deep, which is why his son has become my nemesis," Gui Xingfu sighed.

Gui Qinzhong started to speak but then hesitated. After a brief pause, he spoke up, "Father, I think... might we consider pledging loyalty to Zhi Yan?"

"Are you seeking death?" Gui Xingfu said sharply, "Foolish, ignorant! Zhi Yan is a woman; no woman has ever ascended to the throne, no woman has ever become a king. Whoever dares to support Zhi Yan is making an enemy of the entire world. It’s not just becoming an enemy of the nobles of Rage Wave Kingdom, but of all the countries in the world. Don’t be fooled by Suo Lun’s current might; he is destined to die without a place to bury his body, and the Suo Family is fated to be exterminated. Whoever stands with Suo Lun will undoubtedly die!"

Hearing his father’s stern rebuke, Gui Qinzhong fell silent like a cicada in winter.

After the scolding, Gui Xingfu calmed down and stood up from the deck, his heart filling with renewed fighting spirit.

"If Gui Qinshao was rescued by Suo Lun, it might actually be good for us," Gui Xingfu said. "Suo Lun will certainly try to make her the City Lord of Linhai, but as long as I am not dead, and you are not dead, that position will not be hers. Even if I have lost my lands, I still hold the title of City Lord in Zhi Du Royal City. If it’s to strike against Suo Lun, Zhi Li will definitely send troops to help me take back Linhai City. We still have great value!"

Indeed, Gui Xingfu was right. Having his daughter, Gui Qinshao, in Suo Lun’s hands was now advantageous to him.

If Gui Qinshao had remained in Zhi Li’s control, after Zhi Li dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Tianshui City and incidentally recapture Linhai City, Gui Xingfu would likely have become irrelevant.

Gui Xingfu continued, "After entering the Royal City, I must advise Zhi Li His Highness to, at any cost, disregard the King’s Dragon Sceptre, ignore any threats, and do whatever it takes to annihilate the Suo Family. Have the Tuling Tuo Army and Zhi Wei’s forces immediately attack Tian Shui City and completely obliterate the Suo Family!"

"Full speed ahead, set course for Izumo County!" Gui Xingfu roared. "Suo Lun, everything is not over yet. I want to follow the Tuling Tuo Army and personally stand atop the walls of Tian Shui City, watching your Suo Family be utterly destroyed, watching your women be raped and humiliated, watching your Suo Family be exterminated!"

"Suo Lun, it’s not over yet; wait for my return!" Gui Xingfu shouted out to the sea, venting his hatred and anger.

And just at that moment!

Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the sky!

"City Lord Gui Xingfu, don’t be in such a rush, haven’t I arrived? Why are you shouting my name like that?"

It was the voice of Suo Lun!

Instantly, Gui Xingfu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

It must be a hallucination; Suo Lun couldn’t possibly be here?

He immediately looked at his son, Gui Qinzhong, and clearly saw fear and shock on his face too!

Suo Lun really had come!

Gui Xingfu was filled with horror, his legs trembling.

"Whoosh..." A gust of wind blew in the sky, followed by a screech.

Then, several dark shadows plunged from the high sky.

They were Griffin Beasts, five of them, with a dozen or so people seated on them.

Suo Lun, Zhi Yan, Ashi Liren, Zhuang Zhixuan, the Shadow Cabinet’s warriors.

The five Griffin Beasts circled in the sky, swooping around the boat of Gui Xingfu.

Gui Xingfu felt a chill throughout his body, his limbs shaking.

"Shoot them down, shoot them down!" Suddenly, he screamed desperately.

In an instant, his dozens of trusted samurai bent their bows and shot their arrows.

However, the arrows they fired were effortlessly cleaved in half.

On the other hand, Suo Lun, sitting atop a griffin, drew his bow and notched an arrow.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

The terrifying Chain Arrows, nineteen in succession!

In an instant, nineteen of the Gui Clan samurai were slain!

Even upon the flying griffin’s back, Suo Lun was still unfailingly accurate, a true testament to riding and shooting.

Then, he focused his spirit and once again drew his bow and notched an arrow.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

Another round of Chain Arrows took the lives of more than a dozen Gui Clan samurai!

After the third barrage of Chain Arrows!

The close confidants aboard Gui Xingfu’s ship had been cleanly killed off, leaving only Gui Xingfu and his son Gui Qinzhong.

The uncontrolled warship drifted aimlessly on the sea.

Suo Lun and the others didn’t land but circled around Gui Xingfu’s boat, lighting a signal arrow.

"Swoosh..." A dazzling firework shot up into the sky.

This signal arrow informed Queen Yan Chuo’er, over a hundred miles away, of the exact location of Gui Xingfu.

An hour and a half later, Queen Yan Chuo’er led dozens of Rock Pirate Fleet vessels to appear on the ocean, completely surrounding Gui Xingfu’s boat.

Then, Queen Yan Chuo’er, followed by dozens of Rock Pirate leaders, boarded Gui Xingfu’s boat, took control of the ship, and thoroughly captured both Gui Xingfu and his son Gui Qinzhong!

The Griffin Beast landed on this vessel, and Suo Lun, along with Zhi Yan, leaped down from the griffin’s back, looking down at Gui Xingfu and Gui Qinzhong, now prisoners at their feet!

At this moment, Gui Xingfu was a complete mess, dressed in the attire of an ordinary soldier, his hair disheveled, his eyes sunken, his beard singed, and he looked more than a decade older.

Finally, the old fox had fallen into his hands!

"Linhai City has fallen, and Gui Qinzhong has fallen into your hands and betrayed me, right?" asked Gui Xingfu.

"Right," replied Suo Lun.

"You have already rescued Gui Qinshao and Turing Si, right?" Gui Xingfu continued to ask.

"Right," replied Suo Lun.

Gui Xingfu, looking at the incomparably handsome Suo Lun, shook all over, his heart aching to its limit.

This little thief, the one who had taken everything from him.

He was clearly dead; how could he come back to life?

He had struggled against him for two years, losing every battle, and now had finally fallen completely into his hands, not only unable to preserve the family legacy but even his life was at risk.

Play strategies with this bastard?

Impossible, he was more cunning than a fox and more poisonous than a snake.

Now there was no need to think about anything, whether it was persuading Zhi Li, following the Tuling Tuo Army to annihilate Tian Shui City, or personally beheading Suo Lun and watching Suo Lun’s women being humiliated one by one.

All had turned to bubbles!

Now his only will was survival, at any cost, even if it meant living as lowly as a pig or dog, working like an ox or horse, desperately preserving his own life.

Suddenly, Gui Xingfu’s knees softened, and he knelt directly before Suo Lun.

"Old servant Gui Xingfu greets Your Majesty the Queen, greets Your Majesty the Regent King!"

After kneeling down, Gui Xingfu kowtowed nine times, then laid his body flat on the deck, not moving.

Suo Lun paid him no heed, nor did Zhi Yan.

Gui Xingfu moved forward on his knees, bowing and kowtowing again, slamming his head against the tip of Suo Lun’s shoes and pressing his forehead to Suo Lun’s shoe soles, pleading in a respectful and miserable voice, "Old servant Gui Xingfu greets Your Majesty the Regent King!"

This time, he didn’t even call out to the Queen, only to the Regent King.
