Chapter 707: 349: Suo Lun goes on a killing spree!_2

Nai’er wasn’t lying; about the demon blood in her veins, Suo Lun did have a tacit understanding with Huai Bingyi.

Huai Bingyi held a position in the Dragon God Temple equal to Ji Xiuning’s, and was also the highest commander in the capture of the World-Ending Demon Emperor. Once he spoke, Fang Qingshu wouldn’t dare to defy him, either.

Then, Yan Nai’er said, "Husband told me you hold an important position at the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal, and being away for so many days seems hardly appropriate. It’s better to return sooner."

Fu Lingxi was startled—his daughter-in-law’s character was so fiery, she was actually taking the initiative to send him away.

But Nai’er was just that kind of person, not sticking to the conventional mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. She was filled with a sense of ownership over Tianshui City and the Suo family, seeing this place entirely as her and her husband’s and Suo Ningbing’s home.

...

Three days later!

Suo Lun led fifteen thousand cavalry and charged right up to the gates of Donghai City, the capital of the Southeast Province!

At that moment, Donghai City only had a mere five thousand second-tier troops, who were originally there to maintain the city’s order—some were government officials, some were militia, and others were ruffians and gangsters.

"I am the Marquis of Tianshui, acting Governor of the Southeast Province, open the city gates immediately," bellowed Suo Lun. "Otherwise, none will be spared!"

One of the commanding officers atop the city walls, looking at the boundless cavalry formation behind Suo Lun, trembled in fear as he stammered, "I need to report back to Chancellor, please... Marquis, wait a moment—ah..."

Before he could finish his sentence, an arrow had struck his throat, ending his life.

Suo Lun said coldly, "I am the Marquis of Tianshui, acting Governor of the Southeast Province, open the city gates immediately. Otherwise, none will be spared!"

"Marquis, sir, we’re only soldiers of the patrol battalion... ah..." The officer had not finished speaking when his head was pierced through by an arrow.

"Open the gates, or I will have you all cut down without mercy!" Suo Lun ordered coldly.

Although he commanded a cavalry, taking Donghai City would be a piece of cake, but he didn’t do so, insisting that the guards inside open the gates actively.

The soldiers on the city walls exchanged glances, their souls nearly leaving their bodies with fear, almost ready to throw away their weapons and flee.

"Who dares to run? Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will still be cut down without mercy," Suo Lun said coldly. "I will count to three, and if the gates don’t open, it will be treated as a rebellion, and all defending officers and soldiers will be executed!

"Three..."

"Two..."

Before Suo Lun could count to one, the gates of Donghai City slowly opened!

Suo Lun’s gaze was electric as he looked over, causing the soldiers by the gate to tremble and quickly kneel on the ground, not daring to raise their eyes to glance at him even once.

"Enter the city!" Suo Lun commanded!

Instantly, fifteen thousand cavalry thundered into Donghai City, swiftly taking over the entire city’s defenses.

Suo Lun led five thousand troops and completely surrounded the Governor’s Mansion, leaving no way out!

...

At this time, inside the great hall of the Governor’s Mansion, hundreds of senior officials were crammed together.

All the middle and high-ranking officials of Donghai City and the Governor’s Mansion were present, all of them looking towards their keystone, Chancellor Yan Wuzhi of the Governor’s Mansion of the Southeast Province!

Suddenly, a samurai entered the hall hastily, knelt down, and reported, "Chancellor, Marquis Suo Lun has surrounded the Governor’s Mansion tightly, and he himself has now entered."

These words caused the color of the officials’ faces to change, and they began whispering among themselves.

"Silence!" Yan Wuzhi ordered coldly. "What’s there to fear? Suo Lun is no giant; don’t forget that behind us stand twelve thousand officials of the Southeast Province. Without us, how would he govern the Southeast Province? Can he even find a hundred civil servants in Tianshui City?"

With these words, the officials relaxed slightly.

Yan Wuzhi continued, "Moreover, the whole world is watching him now. Behind us stands the Yan Party and many noble families. If he dares to do anything unwise to us, it will mean offending the powers that are currently observing, pushing them completely towards Zhi Li His Highness. Suo Lun isn’t that foolish; he’s just putting on a show, trying to scare us into submission!"

Upon hearing this, everyone grew even more at ease.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

At that moment, several hundred samurai entered the great hall of the Governor’s Mansion, guarding all the strategic positions.

Then, Suo Lun in his golden crown and embroidered robes walked in, followed by Grand Eunuch Gao Yin, the King’s confidant, holding the King’s decree in his hand.

Zhuang Zhixuan, a woman with an imposing figure, stood coldly by Suo Lun’s side, her right hand always clutching the hilt of her sword, as though ready to draw it at any moment.

Entering the hall, Suo Lun went straight to the highest seat and sat down!

Chief Historian Yan Wuzhi of the Governor’s Mansion sneered, "Marquis Suo Lun, why bother putting on such a play? Whom can you intimidate? With such arrogance and superficiality, whom can you persuade? Without the demeanor of a king, how will you attract the talented to assist you? If you want to flaunt your power, continue to be a loner!"

Suo Lun looked at Yan Wuzhi and said, "You’re the Chief Historian of the Governor’s Mansion, the foremost civil official of the Southeast Province, brother of Prime Minister Yan Wuji, one of the leaders of the Yan Party, the sole leader of twelve thousand officials of the Southeast Province, Yan Wuzhi?"

Yan Wuzhi replied, "Indeed, it is I!"

Suo Lun said, "When Duke Zhi Wei served as the Governor of the Southeast Province, he handed over all internal affairs to you. The fate of all officials in the Southeast Province, all important matters, you could decide with a single word. You are the true king of the Southeast, with twelve thousand officials looking up to you alone, is that correct?"
