Chapter 778: Three seven eight: Jueshi mean wife! Awaken Tuli Yang!

Two hundred Samurai from Luan Yang City, protecting the critically injured Turing Duo, desperately fled back to Wangcheng Zidu.

At this time, the vast majority of nobles and marquises attending Zhi Li’s wedding were still in Wangcheng Zidu.

After entering the Duke’s mansion, Turing Duo informed Duke Turing Tuo of the assassination of Tuli Yang by Suo Lun’s men.

Suddenly, in front of everyone, Duke Turing Tuo smashed his marshal’s chair to pieces with a punch and immediately ordered three thousand Cavalry to head to Black Crow Valley to capture the assassin team led by Fen Mo.

Of course, by this time the assassins had already fled.

Thus, what was even more important was to bring back the bodies of Tuli Yang and the Tuli Family Samurai!

Then, Turing Chen personally led three thousand Cavalry and galloped towards Black Crow Valley like lightning.

The truth about Tuli Yang’s assassination was, of course, crystal clear to Duke Turing Tuo; he had even sent a portion of the assassins himself.

At this moment, his eyes were about to burst, and he appeared overcome with grief and fury, as if there was not the slightest pretense, as if he truly was deeply sorrowful and enraged by his son-in-law’s death.

Life is like a play, all dependent on acting skills, and Duke Turing Tuo’s acting was undoubtedly up to par.

Immediately following, with that grief and anger, Duke Turing Tuo accompanied the injured Turing Duo to Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion to inform Shaojun Qili of Tuli Yang’s assassination by Suo Lun.

At that time, Zhi Li was entertaining Marquis FuE and other lords with a small banquet.

Upon seeing Zhi Li, Turing Duo knelt down in sorrow and cried with blood, "Your Highness, my husband is dead, assassinated by men sent by Suo Lun, struck by numerous arrows!"

"What?" Zhi Li exclaimed in utter shock, dropping the wine cup in his hand to the floor, shattering it to pieces.

What a day, the acting skills of these people are one better than the next.

The majority of the assassins who attacked Tuli Yang were sent by Zhi Li, and his shock at this moment showed no trace of falsehood, appearing genuinely as if thunderstruck.

However, Marquis FuE still spotted a few flaws.

As the second lord of the Rage Wave Kingdom, and with his daughter already being a Judge of the Zhidu Tribunal, his status was both noble and unique, and he had received a warm reception from Zhi Li these past days.

Every time, Zhi Li drank from his Black Gold Ring Dragon Cup, which was his personal cup. But today, he used a fragile glass cup for drinking.

Marquis FuE was a person who observed the minutiae; he found it slightly strange at first glance, why did Zhi Li not use his personal cup today?

The puzzle now made sense—he couldn’t smash his durable Black Gold Ring Dragon Cup, which would not achieve the effect of being utterly shocked.

But a glass cup, when dropped to the ground, would shatter instantly, better expressing his inner emotions.

After the shock, Zhi Li spoke with a trembling voice, "Is Tuli Yang really... really dead?"

While kneeling on the ground, Turing Duo cried copiously, "Your Highness, my husband is truly dead, leaving behind only me and our unborn child. Please seek justice for the Tuli Family on our behalf."

Zhi Li staggered and fell into a chair, tears sliding from his eyes, muttering, "This morning, Tuli Yang came to say goodbye. I did not want him to leave, so I repeatedly asked him to stay. Yet he said, suppressing Suo Lun was urgent and he had to return to Luan Yang City immediately to arrange relevant matters. I never expected such misfortune to befall him. He was my right-hand man, truly a great loss to me!"

Zhi Li clutched his heart, agonized beyond description.

Marquis FuE internally sneered but respectfully got up and said, "Your Highness, please accept my deepest condolences."

"He died for me," cried Zhi Li. "Tuli Yang was fiercely loyal to me, a man who saw things in black and white, and could not stand the slightest flaw in his eyes, hence he repeatedly offended Suo Lun. Just the other day, he took the lead in suppressing Suo Lun, which brought this murderous woe upon him. He died for me."

Zhi Li looked up to the sky to prevent the tears from continuing to flow and said, "Madam, are you certain it was Suo Lun’s doing?"

"Certain," Turing Duo replied. "The leader of the assassins, although he wore a mask, his stature, his voice, and his arrows, I could recognize them all—it was Suo Lun’s trusted general Fen Mo."

Duke Turing Tuo said, "I have already sent people to the scene of the assassination to find all evidence; we will have results soon."

...

The next day, Wangcheng Zidu witnessed an unprecedentedly bloody scene.

Turing Chen entered Wangcheng Zidu with over two hundred bodies in tow.

Each body was horribly mutilated, with either arms or legs severed, a spectacle so gruesome it was unbearable to look at directly.

These bodies were undoubtedly Tuli Family Samurai.

This blood-soaked scene gave the people of Wangcheng a shock like never before. At the same time, rumors spread rapidly.

Everyone in Wangcheng knew that Suo Lun, due to a personal grudge, brazenly assassinated the future lord of the kingdom, Tuli Yang.

If not for Suo Lun’s lust to capture Turing Duo alive, she probably would have been dead too, alongside over two hundred fiercely loyal Tuli Family Samurai.

Of course, Turing Chen didn’t bring back only over two hundred bodies; there was also one surviving witness.

This survivor swore in front of the spirit masters of the Dragon Temple that he saw the leader of the assassins remove his mask and personally admit his name was Fen Mo, Suo Lun’s trusted general.

Furthermore, a portraitist from the Dragon Temple drew a likeness of the assassin leader based on the survivor’s description.

The irony was that the portraitist used Suo Lun’s stereoscopic sketch, which looked as real as a photograph.

Many people recognized him at first glance—it was Fen Mo.
