At this moment, Søren's mind was filled with thoughts. If the king were to bestow a marriage, how should he reject it?
Then, Søren felt that he was overthinking things. Since the establishment of the Raging Wave Kingdom, there had been no precedent of a princess marrying a vassal.
Even Princess Zhi Ning said that marrying her was pure daydreaming, and Jung Yeon's status was one level higher than Zhi Ning's.
The king asked directly, "Then do you like Jung Yeon?"
Søren said, "The princess is noble and unparalleled. Søren admires her and does not dare to blaspheme her."
Hearing this answer, the king looked at Søren for a while.
Then, he did not mention the matter again, but said to Søren, "Tianshui City is in an urgent situation. You should go back immediately."
Søren immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The king continued, "When you come back to Royal City in a few days, I will tell you some things about your father. We were young more than 30 years ago, and the cause of his death..."
Søren was stunned. The cause of Count Sauron's death?
Søren knew this cheap father of his. He was once a God of War like Turingtuo. Although he was a vassal, he had been fighting for the Raging Wave Kingdom.
However, Turingtuo was not a vassal, so his title could be promoted all the way to the Duke.
Sauron was a vassal. Once his title was promoted, wouldn't he be able to suppress the other vassals?
Therefore, among the more than 20 vassals in the entire Raging Wave Kingdom, the one with the highest title alive was Marquis Asimo of Rouran City.
As for Sauron, he was only promoted to a Marquis after his death.
Returning to the main topic, according to the information Søren received, Count Sauron was injured in a war and had been paralyzed in bed.
However, according to the king, Count Sauron's death was not that simple.
Although Sauron was not his father, he had never had a father. Now that he had inherited the Suo family, he regarded Sauron as his father. Therefore, he had the responsibility to find out the cause of Count Sauron's death and even seek justice.
In Søren's understanding, Count Sauron was almost a perfect noble.
Brave, upright, selfless, and loyal. That was why he looked down on Sauron so much, and why he valued the sweatshirt so much.
"Alright, you may go!" the king said.
Soran knelt down on one knee, bowed, and said, "I will take my leave. As for His Majesty, one side of his body cannot move. This is the sequela of the stroke. With the passage of time, he may gradually recover."
I am old. I was injured in my early years, so I can no longer use. I can no longer sleep with women. So, it is fine. I'm old, and I was injured in my early years. I can't use that thing anymore, and I can't sleep with women, so it doesn't matter if I'm paralyzed. "
Sauron kowtowed again. There was something he wanted to say, but in the end, he did not ask it and was about to leave.
"If you have something to say, say it," the king said.
Søren said, "Your Majesty, as much as I hate Zhi Li, he is widely loved by the nobles and vassals. Moreover, he is talented and bold. He is a very good king. Why didn't you let her inherit the throne? Instead, you chose an extremely difficult path and tried to let Princess Jung Yeon inherit the throne? "
The king looked into Søren's eyes and said, "Søren, I am very pleased that you asked this question."
Then the King was silent for a moment, as if in thought.
A minute later, the king's countenance changed, "There are three forces behind Zhi Li, the Dragon Temple, the Hidden Island, and the Secret Continent. These forces are hiding behind the scenes and manipulating half the world. Once Zhi Li succeeds to the throne, my Raging Wave Kingdom will be dead in a few generations. "
This answer was almost the same as the one in Søren's mind.
The king's countenance changed, "However, the nobles and vassals are ignorant and short-sighted. They only care about the glory and wealth of their own families and ignore the fate of the kingdom. So, even though they know about Zhi Li's background, they pretend not to see it. Instead, they fight to be loyal to him. I don't have a son, so I can only go against the heavens. "
After saying that, the king's voice became very weak.
"I understand." Søren said, "I will take my leave."
Jung Yeon worked very fast. As soon as Søren walked down Amethyst Mountain, a griffin stopped there. The chief eunuch of Raging Wave Palace, Gao Yin, was standing beside the griffin.
Seeing Søren, Gao Yin knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Count Søren, for saving my master."
Søren was shocked. In terms of seniority, this was his grandmaster. He couldn't do this.
So, Søren also knelt down and said, "Grandmaster, please don't kill me."
Gao Yin got up and looked at Søren for a while, "People say that the prodigal son is more valuable than gold. After your father left master's side, I rarely saw him. But I vaguely heard that he has an unfilial son. It's very absurd. Now it seems that those people are too vulgar and can't understand your intelligence. "
Søren said guiltily, "In the past few years, I was indeed absurd and disappointed my father."
Gao Yin smiled and didn't say anything. He held the king's decree in his left hand and the Dragon Scepter in his right. He said, "Time is pressing. We must leave for Tianshui City immediately."
Then, he lightly jumped on the griffin. Søren also jumped on the griffin's back and sat behind Gao Yin.
The griffin could only be used as a last resort.
But now, it was an extremely urgent matter. Søren was racing against time. Once Ma Wei's army attacked Tianshui City, everything would be too late.
Hopefully, there was still time.
"Let's go …" Gao Yin gently patted the griffin's neck.
This huge griffin let out an intimate cry, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky, flying in the direction of Tianshui City.
…
In order to save Tu Ling Duo and Guiqin Canal, Ma Wei ordered the army to retreat 30 li.
The retreat of a hundred thousand soldiers was not an easy thing to do. It required time.
After a full eight hours, the retreat of 30 li was completed. Of course, most of the time was spent on gathering. The actual time for the army to march 30 li was less than two hours.
After the army retreated 30 li, Zhi Ning once again sent messengers to Tianshui City to supervise the release of Tu Ling Duo, Guiqin Canal, Nurdan and the others.
However, this time, Suo Ningbing once again asked for a foot after giving him an inch.
In the letter, Søren wrote that because he was worried that after Zhi Ning rescued Tu Ling Duo, she would immediately turn hostile and send out troops. So, in order to show his sincerity, he asked Zhi Ning's army to retreat 30 li again.
After receiving this letter, Zhi Ning's expression completely changed. She directly tore the letter into pieces.
At this time, Ma Wei's camp received a letter from a hawk. There were five feathers on the letter, indicating that this was a confidential letter of the highest level.
This letter was sent from Nu Lang Royal City, Fengdu, a secret intelligence base using a hawk relay flight. The distance from Fengdu was less than eight hours. Because the speed of the hawk was extremely fast, it could fly hundreds of li per hour.
Ma Wei's heart jumped. This kind of confidential letter of the highest level was extremely rare. What had happened?
He immediately opened the secret letter. Even though it was a mess of characters, Yuan Shiwei could easily read the contents.
"The King has appeared. He seems to be seriously ill. Søren is suspected to have entered the capital to participate in the treatment of the King!"
After reading the secret letter, Ma Wei almost felt dizzy. A mouthful of blood surged in his chest, and he almost spat it out.
He had fallen into the trap. He had fallen into Søren's delaying trick.
Søren, this scoundrel, had first used the beauty trick to confuse Zhi Ning's mind.
Then, he had continuously used the two hostages, Tu Ling Duo and Guiqin Canal, as well as the love in Zhi Ning's heart to buy time.
On the surface, he seemed to be in Tianshui City and constantly begging Zhi Ning.
But in fact, he had secretly gone to Nu Lang Royal City to save the King.
Ma Wei almost rushed into Princess Zhi Ning's tent and threw the secret letter to her rudely for the first time.
Zhi Ning took the letter and read it. Suddenly, her body felt as if it had been struck by lightning. She could not believe her eyes.
Fake, everything was fake.
The fall out between Søren and Duke Ting Ting was fake. He had long seen that Aslo's appearance was Zhi Li's plot.
He had begged for mercy and expressed his love to her, but it was also fake. It was to make her softhearted, to make her reluctant to kill him, and to delay Ma Wei's army from attacking Tianshui City.
For this reason, he had even raped her and become her first man, just to make her have an unforgettable love for him.
And he had indeed succeeded. After they separated, her mind was filled with him.
For more than a day and a night, she had been savoring every moment of crazy intimacy with him.
Even when he stuffed that dirty thing into her mouth, it became a scene that kept replaying in her mind. At the same time, there was also a special and strange sense of satisfaction.
She missed him desperately. Every inch of her body missed him.
In the last letter, Søren said that he wanted to try the legendary "three times is not as good as one". She was even tempted, imagining the scene of that happening.
What did this mean? It meant that she was poisoned, poisoned by Søren. Even if she was willing to do something depraved, she was willing to do it.
His love letter, his begging for mercy, everything was fake.
He was just using her. He not only played with her body, but also played with her feelings.
Zhi Ning only felt dizzy. Her chest surged, and she was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
But she swallowed it back. She must not spit out blood, she must not spit out blood for this bastard.
Zhi Ning already felt her heart wrenching. She could not breathe at all. Her vision was also black, as if she was about to faint at any time.
Using the last of her energy, Zhi Ning gritted her teeth and said, "100,000 troops, attack Tianshui City, kill everyone inside!"
After that, her beautiful eyes darkened, and she completely fainted.
"Søren, you are the most shameless thief in the world. You are a villain who plays with people's feelings. I … will never forgive you!"
Before she fainted, Jinning said to herself over and over again.
After fainting, the mouthful of blood she had swallowed gushed out from the corner of her mouth.
Duke Meng Wei immediately felt extremely distressed and shouted, "Come, call the medical officer."
Then, he shook his head desperately. Women were not good at critical moments. They would definitely be emotional.
Jinning had been such a vicious and wise person before. But when she met Søren, she was full of loopholes.
In these two days, she repeatedly said that she would kill Søren without mercy. But subconsciously, she had been using all kinds of reasons to delay the army into Tianshui City. She wanted to save Qinqu and Tu Lingduo.
These reasons seemed very reasonable, but in reality, there was only one reason behind it.
Zhi Ning could not bear to kill Søren.
Moreover, even though she did not hide it, the special innocence in the corner of her eyes and the unnatural way she walked betrayed her.
It seemed that Søren not only cheated Zhi Ning's heart, but also her body.
This scoundrel, this scoundrel, he was truly unscrupulous.
Seeing several female medical officers rush in and treat Jinning in a flurry, Yuan Shiwei felt both distressed and angry.
Then, he suddenly rushed out of the main camp and roared, "Army, move out, flatten Tianshui City. Leave no one alive!"
Instantly, the sky shaking war drums sounded.
The 100,000 troops that had been delayed for nearly two days rushed towards Tianshui City in a frenzy.
At this time, Søren was more than two thousand miles away from Tianshui City. Even if they rode on Gryphons, it would still take several hours.
Duke Meng Wei's army marched almost crazily and rushed to the border between Baiyun County and Tianshui City in four hours.
Tianshui City was the only boundary between the two places. The stone bridge on it was the only bridge within a radius of dozens of miles.
Previously, Duke Meng Wei had sent hundreds of soldiers to guard this bridge.
However, when the army marched to the bridge, they found that more than a thousand soldiers were lying on the ground.
And this stone bridge had already been forcefully destroyed, broken from the middle.
If it was a normal time, it would be fine to build a pontoon bridge or take a detour for dozens of miles.
But now, Duke Meng Wei was racing against time. The king's decree must have arrived on a Gryphon and would arrive in a few hours.
Once the king's decree arrived, he must retreat, or else he would have to immediately rise up and seize the throne. However, at this time, Zhi Li was still visiting the Yan Empire. It was impossible to immediately overthrow the king, and Zhi Li could not bear the reputation of regicide.
Now, the only way was to rush into Tianshui City and destroy the Suo Clan before the king's decree arrived.
However, he did not expect that the stone bridge would be destroyed. The river that was only a few dozen meters wide was like a natural moat, blocking the hundred thousand soldiers.
Søren, this bastard, really had no other plans. His tricks were one after another.
After plotting against Zhi Ning, he plotted against Meng Wei.
He slept with a woman and saved Tianshui City. Not only that.
Duke Meng Wei could not bear it anymore. He roared and pulled out his sword, crazily chopping the stone pillars of the broken bridge.
"Ah … Ah … Ah, Søren, you and I are irreconcilable!"
Then, Meng Wei could not bear it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Excellency …" The dozens of soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Meng Wei felt much more refreshed. He shouted, "I am not dead yet. Use the fastest speed, regardless of the cost, to build the pontoon bridge. If the pontoon bridge is not built within an hour, all the soldiers of the Bridge Battalion will be beheaded. "
Seeing that Duke Meng Wei gave this order after spitting out blood, the thousands of soldiers of the Bridge Battalion really did their best to build the pontoon bridge.
Under the urging of the officer, countless soldiers jumped into the deep Tianshui River without any regard for their lives, using their lives to build the pontoon bridge.
In this terrifying atmosphere, in just over two hours, the thousands of Road and Bridge Battalion soldiers actually built nine pontoon bridges.
Then, the hundred thousand soldiers rushed into the territory of Tianshui City along the pontoon bridge.
Four hours later, Duke Meng Wei led the tens of thousands of vanguard troops and rushed to the Wind Thunder Fortress that was dozens of miles away.
He did not give the order to attack, but waited for the arrival of the follow-up troops.
After another hour, the hundred thousand soldiers all rushed to the Wind Thunder Fortress.
Looking from the sky, the Wind Thunder Fortress was only a small piece, while the hundred thousand soldiers of Duke Meng Wei were like a vast ocean, completely drowning the small Wind Thunder Fortress.
Looking at the dilapidated Wind Thunder Fortress, Duke Meng Wei said sternly, "Attack, don't leave a person, a blade of grass, a tree in the fortress!"
Then, the hundred thousand soldiers launched a crazy attack.
Like raging waves, it was as if they wanted to completely drown and destroy the Wind Thunder Fortress!
Yan Yan looked at the tide-like army, gritted his teeth and said, "Søren, this bastard, if he came a little later, he will collect our corpses!"
Then, he led a few thousand elites to the top of the city wall and pulled out his big sword.
Yan Nair suppressed the sadness in her heart, lifted her armor, and pulled out the Golden Dragon Sword.
Even though she was facing an army of a hundred thousand, she did not regret it at all.
More than ten thousand against an army of a hundred thousand. Moreover, it was a castle with holes on all sides, there was really no hope of winning at all.
At this moment of destruction, a black dot appeared in the sky tens of thousands of meters ahead, getting closer and closer.
Søren returned with the King's decree and the Dragon King Scepter.
Not only that, he really carried a washboard on his back. This was made from a wooden plank on the back of the griffin.
