Chapter 809: 389: Plot to Murder Yan Mo!_3

Then, he thought of Gui Xingfu!

This man’s humiliation of Suo Lun far exceeded Hai Gang’s treatment. The two were deeply at odds, utterly irreconcilable.

By then, Gui Xingfu had already become the chief civil official of the Southeast Province. Although he held no official position, merely acting as an envoy on behalf of Suo Lun, he indeed controlled the civil authority of the Southeast Province.

If Gui Xingfu could turn his fortunes around, why couldn’t Hai Gang?

However, could his heart truly accept allegiance to Suo Lun?

But what could he do, unwilling as he may be? At that moment, life and death were entirely at the mercy of others.

Taking a deep breath, Hai Gang abruptly sat up, went to the table, and wrote a secret letter.

It began: "My dear daughter Haidei’er, it’s been days since we last met, and I miss you deeply..."

This letter, stretching over a thousand characters, was first sent to the pirate haven via messenger pigeon. It was then relayed from the pirate haven by a new pigeon to Yingzhou City, and finally, a secret envoy delivered it to Haidei’er on Thunder Archipelago.

Haidei’er, wife of Yan Mo, a woman who had faced contempt since childhood, harbored resentment, and was ambitiously ruthless.

...

A day and a half later, eighteen hours had passed!

By then, the surviving main fleet of Yan Mo had escaped over sixteen hundred miles and was still about three thousand miles away from Thunder Archipelago.

The Rock Pirates aboard the warships were longing for their homeland like never before, missing their wives and children at home.

Previously, when the Rock Pirates went out to raid, they never thought of home. For, amidst the mad battles on the sea, the violent plundering, and the ravishing, life was blissfully akin to heaven—where was the thought of home?

Now, the once invincible Rock Pirates were defeated, fleeing like dogs who’d lost their homes, and hence began to long for their homeland, wanting to return to lick their wounds.

On their way, the Rock Demon Fleet had intentions to plunder, to seize some food for their return to Thunder Archipelago.

However, Yan Mo knew that Suo Lun’s fleet, or perhaps Hai Gang’s fleet, might be around two hundred miles behind. He had to lead his fleet at the fastest speed back to Thunder Archipelago to ensure maximum safety.

...

In the new Yan King’s Palace on Thunder Archipelago.

Haidei’er held a letter in her hand from her father Hai Gang, delivered personally by her birth mother.

In the letter, Hai Gang reported Yan Mo’s great defeat, a near-total annihilation with only over ten thousand of his main fleet managing to escape back to Thunder Archipelago, his authority completely undermined, and his people thoroughly demoralized.

Moreover, Suo Lun and the Hai Family’s fleets had allied, vigorously pursuing the remnants of Yan Mo’s fleet. Even if Yan Mo managed to escape back to Thunder Archipelago, he would face the blockade and encirclement of the allied army of Suo Lun and the Hai Family.

Should they face a food shortage dilemma, coupled with Yan Mo’s defeat and loss of hearts, internal chaos within the Yan Tribe would be inevitable, and Yan Mo’s death was certain.

As Yan Mo’s wife, Haidei’er’s future prospects would be exceedingly bleak.

Therefore, Hai Gang hoped Haidei’er would take initiative, assassinate Yan Mo, and thus hasten the end of the war for Suo Lun.

In doing so, not only would Haidei’er remain blameless, but she would also gain merit.

Hai Gang even proposed that the Hai Family wished to form another marital alliance with Suo Lun, but there were no more beautiful and pure girls in the family. Hence, they planned to have Haidei’er remarry Suo Lun as a concubine.

Although as a concubine, Suo Lun was the future regent prince of Rage Wave Kingdom, supreme in authority. Haidei’er would enjoy endless glory and wealth, and even when the legitimate mother Mrs. Bai Ye met her, she would have to respectfully address her as "princess consort."

Furthermore, once she successfully remarried Suo Lun, she would directly inherit a quarter of the Hai Family’s estate!

All these benefits required just one action from Haidei’er: to murder her own husband Yan Mo!

After reading the secret letter over and over, Haidei’er closed her beautiful eyes, pondering for a long time.

Yan Mo was highly skilled in martial arts; killing him would be difficult. However, if the attack came from the woman he loved and trusted the most, perhaps it would be quite easy!

I’m feeling quite unwell today, dizzy and breaking out in cold sweats, I need to rest for a bit.
