Chapter 831: 397: Damn Fu Lingxi! Clash of Kings!_2

Go to find Zhi Li?

No, that would be equivalent to the Turing Clan completely offending Zhi Li.

So, who else could change Duke Turing Tuo’s mind?

Quickly, Turing Duo thought of a person, Suo Lun’s biological mother, Fulingxi.

At the time, it was precisely because Fulingxi expressed her support for Zhi Li that the world boycotted Suo Lun, which led to the besieging of Suo Lun.

After all, even his birth mother stood on the opposing side of Suo Lun, and the impact of that was too great.

"Go to the Zhidu Holy Temple Court!" declared Turing Duo.

"Yes!"

...

Two hours later, Turing Duo appeared in the Zhidu Tribunal and met with Suo Lun’s biological mother, Fulingxi.

She once again marveled at Fulingxi’s beauty. Although she was the birth mother of Suo Ningbing, she truly looked like her elder sister.

Furthermore, Fulingxi’s elegant serenity coupled with her transcendental and mature charm was truly enviable.

"Greetings, Lady Fulingxi," said Turing Duo, paying her respects.

"There’s no need for formalities," Fulingxi said graciously, lifting her hand, "What brings Lady Turing Duo to see me?"

Turing Duo said, "Before discussing official matters, may I ask you a question, perhaps one that’s not easy to answer?"

Fulingxi nodded, "Go ahead."

Turing Duo asked, "Why did you choose to become an enemy of Suo Lun, who is, after all, your own son?"

Immediately, Fulingxi’s beautifully captivating eyes trembled violently; the question had made her very uncomfortable.

After a long silence, Fulingxi said, "The first reason is that the Dragon Temple really doesn’t like Suo Lun, they even despise him! Especially Holy Priest Ge Li, and Chief Judge Luo Ge. The second reason is that my own family really doesn’t like Suo Lun, they even despise him!"

Turing Duo was taken aback, not expecting Fulingxi’s reply to be so candid.

Fulingxi said, "Alright, now let’s talk about your matters."

Turing Duo said, "Suo Lun has triumphed in the naval battle against the Yan Mo, and Hai Gang has completely turned in his favor. My father is uneasy, already wavering. I worry he might do something that will ruin everything irreparably."

"Such as feigning illness to delay the army’s deployment? Then watch as the situation further evolves?" Fulingxi suggested.

"Yes!" Turing Duo said. "With Suo Lun’s naval victory, the silver won’t be cut off; he can continue to engulf the Southeast Province and speed up the reorganization of his army. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it is for us. Suo Lun grows stronger every day; we must annihilate him while he is at his weakest! Thus, the army must not delay its deployment; right after His Highness Zhi Li bestows the flag upon the Army of Vengeance tomorrow, they must immediately march on Tianshui City."

Fulingxi asked, "You want me to persuade your father, to stop his vacillation?"

"Exactly," Turing Duo affirmed.

Fulingxi laughed and said, "Don’t forget, I am Suo Lun’s biological mother. You’re asking me to help kill my own son."

Turing Duo said, "Lady Fulingxi, you and I are the same kind of person. I once obsessed over Suo Lun; I even tried to stand by his side. But in the end, we both completely abandoned him, becoming relentless enemies. I betrayed my soul and body, becoming Zhi Li’s courtesan. Whereas you, for your own future, completely betrayed your own kinship. We have no way back; obliterating Suo Lun is our only way out."

Turing Duo’s blunt words left Fulingxi’s beautiful eyes cold, her face’s elegance wiped clean, replaced by an icy chill.

Some deeds, though done, must not be spoken of.

Turing Duo said, "Hand you a knife to personally kill Suo Lun? Perhaps you couldn’t do it. But pushing from behind to let others eliminate Suo Lun, I believe you would be glad to see it happen."

Fulingxi closed her eyes and fell into deep thought for a good while.

Half an hour later, she opened her beautiful eyes and said, "Turing Duo, what were you originally planning to do this evening?"

"Go and have an affair with Zhi Li, to sleep with him," Turing Duo replied.

Fulingxi declared, "Then carry on with your plan; I shall go see your father."

...

Fulingxi left the Zhidu Tribunal secretly that very night, heading for Duke Turing’s Mansion.

In a hidden chamber, no one knew what Fulingxi had said.

Even Turing Duo, who had brought Fulingxi there, didn’t know what had been spoken.

In any case, it was just half an hour later that Fulingxi departed.

But when Turing Duo saw her father again, Duke Turing Tuo’s unease and vacillation had vanished completely, replaced by unshakeable resolve and absolute confidence.

"Tomorrow, the army will march to punish Suo Lun. Without destroying this traitor, we vow not to return!"

Duke Turing Tuo’s voice was resoundingly bold.

Turing Duo was immensely curious about what Fulingxi had said to cause such a drastic change in her father.

She knew her father was very stubborn, and not easily persuaded by others.

However, in Turing Duo’s heart, a phrase surfaced: "Even tigers do not eat their young!"

Lady Fulingxi, appearing so beautiful and graceful, was much more ruthless than a ferocious tiger.

...

The very next morning!

Wangcheng Zidu entered its most solemn and respectful day.

Shaojun Zhi Li went to the Dragon Tower to pray to heaven!

This was originally the King’s prerogative; however, with the silent approval of the Dragon Temple, Zhi Li, merely bearing the title of Shaojun, also began offering sacrifices to heaven and the dragon.

The theme of this heavenly offering was singular: The Heavenly Decree to Punish Suo Lun!

Eight hundred thousand troops set out to campaign against Suo Lun, a civil war of this level was unprecedented in the Rage Wave Kingdom.

Hence, this battle needed the highest level of righteousness!

Suo Lun’s actions against the tide had aroused the wrath of heaven and the indignation of the people!
