Chapter 835: 398: Gui Qinshao pregnant! Choosing to betray?_3

"Hmm," Suo Lun casually responded, eating the deer meat sliced by Ye Jingyu.

"She is even more beautiful than me, and has a better figure too," said Ye Jingyu.

Suo Lun said, "Her figure might be more explosive, but it’s not necessarily better than yours."

"Master, when the situation is less tense later on, can I stay by your side?" Ye Jingyu asked, "My martial arts aren’t good, but I can serve as your maid, taking special care of your daily needs."

"Alright," Suo Lun said, "But it’s best if you still wear the folded sharkskin suit, it’s eye-catching."

Ye Jingyu’s cheeks blushed, but she sat even more upright, accentuating her provocatively curvaceous figure.

After lunch, Ye Jingyu prepared to leave, to head out to sea once more towards Gunpowder Secret Island. She would remain there until the next batch of gunpowder was produced, after which she would escort it to Tianlang Pass.

As Suo Lun saw her off, she suddenly came forward bravely, hooked her arms around Suo Lun’s neck, and her fiery red lips kissed him.

A deep kiss, their tongues intertwining heatedly.

After the kiss, Ye Jingyu whispered in Suo Lun’s ear, "Master, I cannot hold back any longer, you should prepare yourself mentally for something."

"What is it?" asked Suo Lun.

"At home, there’s a huge surprise waiting for you," Ye Jingyu said.

With that, she ran off immediately, fearing she couldn’t resist Suo Lun’s questioning.

A surprise? Suo Lun was startled. What kind of surprise could it be?

...

That evening, in the Rock Thief Camp, Suo Lun attended a Yan King meeting!

This was the highest-level meeting of the Yan Tribe, and Suo Lun, as the lord of Queen Yan Chuo, had the right to attend but not to speak.

Since the Yan King personally pledged loyalty to Suo Lun, it was not appropriate for him to interfere in the internal affairs of the Yan Tribe.

At the Yan King meeting, new Island Masters for the five major islands were elected, each also serving as commanders of ten thousand soldiers in the Rock Thieves Corps.

These five Island Masters were the strongest in martial arts, the bravest, most prestigious, and had the highest military acumen!

Next, fifty cave masters were chosen!

These fifty cave masters would each also command ten thousand soldiers within the Rock Thieves Corps.

Furthermore, the meeting also designated the personal corps belonging to Queen Yan Chuo, totaling fifteen thousand men, which amounted to one-third of the entire Rock Thieves Corps.

The entire process left Suo Lun quite emotional!

This highest meeting of the Yan Tribe was so democratic, yet also so centralized!

It was democratic because all five hundred Rock Pirate Warriors actively engaged and fully exercised their rights.

It was centralized because regardless of elections or resolutions, Queen Yan Chuo could veto anything with a single word. Once vetoed by Queen Yan Chuo, no Island or Cave Master had any power to object.

The only check on the Yan King’s power was the Yan Tribe’s Council of Elders, which typically refrained from issuing any military opinions.

Suo Lun witnessed how, in just a few hours, a completely organized command structure for the Rock Thieves Corps was rapidly established.

Decisive, swift, and not procrastinating!

Truly, a formidable race of warriors, indeed impressive.

Suo Lun was certain that within a short period, this Rock Thieves Corps could be mobilized for battle, possessing incredible combat prowess!

...

The next day, Suo Lun and Queen Yan Chuo rode Griffin Beasts back to Heavenly Water Main City.

As for the reorganization of the Rock Thieves Corps, it no longer required the supervision of Queen Yan Chuo. The five great Island Masters and fifty Cave Masters would proficiently complete all the reorganizing tasks.

After nearly two hours of flight, Suo Lun’s griffin beast landed in Heavenly Water Main City.

He was genuinely curious, what was the surprise Jingyu had mentioned?

As he just entered the City Lord’s residence, Gui Qinshao rushed over, her face beaming with immense happiness and joy, and she threw herself into Suo Lun’s arms, excitedly exclaiming, "My lord, I am pregnant, I am pregnant..."

Suo Lun was overjoyed!

And Turing Si couldn’t wait to rush over and embrace both Gui Qinshao and Suo Lun together.

She was incredibly happy; her precious daughter’s belly had indeed done them proud, having gotten pregnant immediately after being with Suo Lun.

"Suo Lun, ever since she found out she was pregnant, Xiao Shu has been waiting here every day for you, to tell you the news first," Turing Si said joyously.

"I am truly so happy..." Gui Qinshao, holding Suo Lun, lavished him with kisses like they were free.

...

Capital of Southeast Province!

Night fell, and a figure in a black cloak entered a mansion, appearing in front of Gui Xingfu.

The visitor lifted the cloak, revealing a handsome yet pale face—it was Ling Ao!

Nearly two months ago, his legs had been broken by Suo Lun, who could have imagined they would heal so quickly?

Ordinary fractures would hardly heal thoroughly in two months, to say nothing of when Ling Ao’s legs were broken in several places.

Gui Xingfu exclaimed in surprise, "Xia Ao, your legs are healed?"

"They are," Ling Ao said. "Not only are my legs healed, but my martial skills have greatly improved because I have gained a mysterious and powerful force."

Gui Xingfu noticed that Ling Ao’s voice was somewhat eerie, and his face pale and gaunt!

"What are you here for?" Gui Xingfu asked.

Ling Ao said, "I am here to save adoptive father! His Highness Zhi Li’s army of eight hundred thousand has already set out, and in a little over a month, they will be at the city gates. Suo Lun is undoubtedly doomed—this is your last chance. If you lead the civil servants of Southeast Province in a collective defection, pledge loyalty to His Highness Zhi Li, and voluntarily offer up the city, all past offenses will be overlooked. Your crime of surrendering to Suo Lun will also be seen as an act of bearing humiliation in deep cover."

Gui Xingfu said, "If I surrender to Zhi Li now, he certainly won’t pursue it at this time. But once he ascends the throne, given his character, he will surely settle accounts with me."

At that moment, another person walked in!

It was Turing Chen!

He bowed deeply and said, "Uncle, my father will vouch for you!"

Duke Turing Tuo himself vouching?

Ling Ao said, "Adoptive father, His Highness Zhi Li knows you have doubts. But there is a way to completely eliminate your concerns!"

"What way?" Gui Xingfu asked.

Ling Ao said, "Due to Hai Gang’s defection, Yan Mo suffered a great defeat, which displeased His Highness Zhi Li greatly. Once Suo Lun is eliminated, His Highness Zhi Li plans to mobilize the entire kingdom’s forces to conquer Yingzhou Island. After taking Yingzhou Island, he will divide half of its territories to grant you a new Linhai City. The original Linhai City Territory will be annexed as a county of the kingdom. With your territories and the Rage Wave Kingdom separated by thousands of miles, even if His Highness Zhi Li intends to clear you out, it will be beyond his reach!"

Turing Chen said, "Uncle, half of Yingzhou Island is four times the size of the current Linhai City! That means your territories would increase fourfold and His Highness Zhi Li promises that as long as you betray Suo Lun and lead all civil servants of Southeast Province to surrender to His Highness Zhi Li, he will also make you a Marquis!"

Ling Ao said, "Adoptive father, this is a tremendous opportunity, what are you waiting for? Will you choose the position of Marquis and a territory four times larger than Tian Shui City, or will you choose to be buried along with Suo Lun?"

Gui Xingfu’s heartbeat quickened!

The position of Marquis, a territory four times the size of Linhai City? It was indeed a great temptation.

And all it would cost was betraying Suo Lun!

What choice should he make?
