Chapter 838: 399: Loyalty Gui Xingfu! Tuli Yang retaliates!_3

Gui Xingfu wasn’t angry, he said, "Xia Ao, I know you despise Suo Lun. But you must remember my words, when the critical moment comes, you must save yourself!"

...

Turing Chen and Ling Ao left as if they had walked away silently.

Despite it being well after midnight, Gui Xingfu still couldn’t sleep, so he sat in the dark, drinking cup after cup of tea.

In fact, he wasn’t thinking about anything; he was just sitting there.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Gui Xingfu asked.

"It’s me!" The voice of Yan Wuzhi sounded outside.

Gui Xingfu was startled, then said, "Come in!"

Yan Wuzhi entered, didn’t ask for the lights to be turned on, and sat down in the chair next to him.

"My older brother Yan Wuji sent someone to persuade me," Yan Wuzhi said. "He wants me to surrender to Zhi Li, to lead the collective defection of the civil officials in the Southeast Province, and to hand over the entire province. Moreover, my previous surrender to Suo Lun is to be seen as a brave infiltration, and after Zhi Li defeats Suo Lun, I would become the Governor of the Southeastern Province."

Gui Xingfu felt a shudder in his heart and asked, "What choice did you make?"

Yan Wuzhi said, "Of course, I outright refused, so now my wife has severed relations with me and returned to the capital!"

Gui Xingfu was again startled and asked, "Why would you make such a choice? Do you have such faith in Suo Lun?"

Yan Wuzhi shook his head and said, "I don’t have faith. This time, the whole world is attacking Suo Lun, and I think Suo Lun has at most a 20% chance of surviving."

Gui Xingfu said, "Then your loyalty to Suo Lun is really that high?"

Yan Wuzhi shook his head and said, "Not really, but if I surrender to Zhi Li now, I will be useless for the rest of my life, just mediocrity. Even if he keeps his promise and makes me Governor of the Southeastern Province, I would just be a puppet. Standing by Suo Lun, even though there’s only a 20% chance, if I win the bet, I could become the Prime Minister of the kingdom."

Now it was Gui Xingfu’s turn to be greatly startled and he said, "You’re willing to bet your life on a 20% chance?"

Yan Wuzhi said, "I would bet even on a 10% chance. If a person is mediocre their whole life, living is no different than being a walking corpse. What’s the point of that?"

Then, Yan Wuzhi said, "This time, Zhi Li sent out a huge lobbying team. They must have approached you too. Gui Weng, what did you choose?"

Gui Xingfu said with a bitter smile, "The same as you!"

Yan Wuzhi was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

Gui Xingfu said, "I don’t know why, but in a fevered moment, the words to reject Zhi Li just burst out. If you really want a reason from me, maybe it’s just intuition."

Then, Gui Xingfu smiled and said, "At the critical moment, both of us remain loyal to Suo Lun. I believe that, from this moment on, our standing in his heart must have greatly increased. He surely needs to treat you with the respect due to a hero."

Yan Wuzhi shook his head, with a bitter smile he said, "Gui Weng, you think too highly of our value. Zhi Li came to lobby us, and even the whole bureaucratic group of the Southeast Province, do you think Suo Lun doesn’t know? My brother entered my residence, Ling Ao and others entered your residence, why did the Shadow Cabinet not stop it at all, and why do our residences now not even have a single person watching?"

Gui Xingfu was truly greatly startled.

Yan Wuzhi said, "Suo Lun really doesn’t take us seriously, not even bothering to have someone watch us; he has made his intentions very clear. If you want to betray, then betray! If you want to join Zhi Li, go ahead!"

Suddenly, Gui Xingfu was stunned speechless!

...

Tianshui City Lord’s Mansion.

Gui Qinshao was cooing sweet nothings next to Suo Lun, her voice sweeter than honey.

Now that she was pregnant, she felt she had suffered greatly and wished she could whimper with every word.

Furthermore, she hadn’t been intimate with Suo Lun for two whole months, so tonight she decisively monopolized him.

Just then, a samurai said outside, "Master, Tuli Yang is asking to see you urgently, it seems very urgent!"

...

Suo Lun left the room and went to the hall of the City Lord’s Mansion!

Tuli Yang immediately rushed up, knelt on one knee, and said excitedly, "Lord Suo Lun, the time has come, the moment to reveal Zhi Li and Turing Duo’s vile faces has arrived!"

Suo Lun personally poured a cup of tea, handed it to Tuli Yang, and said, "Don’t rush, take it slowly."

Tuli Yang drank it in one gulp, his eyes bloodshot, his ugly face filled with excitement, he said tremulously, "Zhi Li’s army of several hundred thousand has already set out, Turing Duo, that vile woman, leading ten thousand from the Luanyang Revenge Army, under the guise of avenging my father and me! All the dukes, all the nobles are present, hundreds of thousands of soldiers also there. My father and I will ride griffins to Zhi Li’s Forces, and in front of everyone, unveil Zhi Li and Turing Duo, the scene will definitely be spectacular!"

When that time came, let’s leave Zhi Li’s fate aside for now.

Turing Duo will truly have no place to be buried!

A few months ago, after Tuli Yang was rescued by Suo Lun, he had been thinking of revenge, and now, the moment for revenge had come!
