Chapter 785: Three Eight Zero: Tuli Wen and his son, kneel down and pledge loyalty!_2

Zhi Ning really cared about this matter.

"You, Suo Lun, raped me using a ruse to save Tianshui City. But after achieving your goal, you immediately cast me aside," she said.

I endured that.

But when I came back with the baby, why didn’t you show any excitement or any intention to see the baby or to hold him?

This was something Zhi Ning could not forgive in her heart.

Fang Qingzhuo said, "I heard that Suo Lun is extremely fond of his daughter, to the very marrow of his bones. There’s no doubt he also loves the baby deeply. But he cannot show it. The more he shows he cares about you and the baby, the more Zhi Li will take the opportunity to extort him, and the more dangerous it will become for you."

Zhi Ning understood all these reasons, but it was really hard for her to come to terms with them emotionally.

Fang Qingzhuo said, "Xiao Ning, I’m worried that one day Zhi Li might harm the baby."

Zhi Ning’s neck hairs stood on end, as if sensing danger, like a leopardess would.

Fang Qingzhuo continued, "Now Suo Lun is beset by enemies on both sides. At sea, there is Yan Mo with a navy of a hundred thousand. On land, there is the Rage Wave Kingdom’s army of eight hundred thousand. His downfall is already inevitable, and if Suo Lun dies, I’m afraid Zhi Li will eradicate all his offspring, and the baby is his flesh and blood, and moreover, a boy."

Upon hearing these words, Zhi Ning felt a chill spread throughout her body.

Fang Qingzhuo said, "If it had been earlier, I would have thought Zhi Li wouldn’t go to such insane lengths. But now, I have no confidence in him at all."

Then, Fang Qingzhuo said, "On the other hand, if Suo Lun wins, both my daughter and I will be safe. I have confidence in him."

Zhi Ning asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want Suo Lun to win?"

Fang Qingzhuo replied, "I don’t know, I really don’t know."

Then, after hesitating for a while, Fang Qingzhuo said, "Xiao Ning, I’ve already broken ties with your brother. After he eliminates Suo Lun and intends to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect the baby. And it will be hard for you to escape back to Yanjing, so we need to come up with a plan. What should we do if that day comes?"

Zhi Ning felt a mess of emotions and deeply regretted why she had come back.

Fang Qingzhuo said, "I have a plan, listen to this."

Zhi Ning said, "Please speak, sister-in-law."

Fang Qingzhuo said, "After Zhi Li ascends to the throne, despite being supreme, he will still fear two forces, one is the Dragon Temple, and the other is the Flame Empire. I know that Prince Ji Min is deeply infatuated with you, and after you left Yanjing, he still cried and begged you to stay. So, as long as you marry Prince Ji Min, and let the Flame Empire send someone to take you and the baby away, Zhi Li will not dare to detain you."

Suddenly, the image of Ji Min’s naive and affectionate face came to Zhi Ning’s mind.

Fang Qingzhuo continued, "However, since you’ve already had a child, it will be very difficult to get through the Flame Emperor Royal Family and marry Prince Ji Min. But this is the only way; you must find a way to contact Prince Ji Min."

Zhi Ning closed her beautiful eyes and was silent for a long time before she said, "Sister-in-law, I don’t want to do that."

Fang Qingzhuo looked at Zhi Ning for a long while before sighing and saying, "All right then, if it really comes to that day. I will also do my utmost to protect the baby, even if it means a fight to the death with Zhi Li."

Did Fang Qingzhuo truly have the ability to do so? She actually did because she held the secret that Zhi Li had demonic blood running through his veins.

If after Suo Lun’s defeat, Zhi Li really intends to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, she would use the secret of the demonic blood to threaten Zhi Li to spare Zhi Ning and the baby.

Even if by that time, she herself might face a catastrophic disaster.

Even if Zhi Li compromises and lets Zhi Ning and the baby go, Fang Qingzhuo’s best outcome would be life imprisonment, or even like Tuli Yang, to be inflicted with soul-breaking poison and become a walking corpse.

The baby had already fallen asleep. Zhi Ning carefully placed him on the bed, and then she also lay down, gently holding him.

Fang Qingzhuo also lay down quietly and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ning, do you love Suo Lun?"

After thinking for a while, Zhi Ning said, "I don’t know, but I know that he’s a bastard!"

...

The marine territory of Tianshui City!

Night had fallen, and a griffin landed on the deck of the flagship.

A tall, thin man leaped down from the griffin’s back, his whole body enshrouded in a black cloak.

He walked up to Suo Lun and asked, "Where is my son?"

Suo Lun replied, "Inside."

Then, Suo Lun opened the cabin door.

The tall, thin man entered, and Suo Lun closed the door behind him.

This was Tuli Yang’s cabin, and at the moment, he was lying on the bed asleep, his body completely curled up. Already short in stature, his curled-up body made him appear even more hunched over.

The tall, thin man removed his cloak, revealing a gaunt and resolute face.

He was Lord Luan Yang, Tuli Wen, who both Zhi Li and Turing Duo thought had died. He had been imprisoned for nearly a year now.

Once a tough man, seeing his son Tuli Yang curled up like this, he could no longer hold back his tears, which flooded out.

The reason his son Tuli Yang was so short and ugly was largely his own fault.

More than twenty years ago, Tuli Wen had fallen for an extremely beautiful woman named Huang Huan, whom he wanted to marry as his concubine.
