In the highest meeting room of Duke Turin's castle.
The meeting room was not big, only a few dozen square meters.
Feng Li sat on the highest seat of honor. His posture was very lazy, and he was playing with a jade beauty in his hand.
Other than Zhi Li, there were six other people in the meeting room.
Lord of Waterfront City, Gui Xingfu, Ling Ao, Duke Turin Tuo, Tu Ningchen, and Lord of Luanyang City, Tu Liwen.
There was also an unfamiliar face with obvious foreign blood. His name was Ashinzhuo, and he was Aslo's uncle, the younger brother of Rouran City's Lord Ashimo.
These were the four forces that were trying to destroy the Secret Society.
Zhi Li had no intention of speaking. He was the kind of person who had ears but not a mouth.
"The king is not a threat, and neither is Jung Yeon." Tu Ningchen said, "Our only target is Søren!"
"Søren is the king's only pawn. Once we destroy Søren, Jung Yeon and Lang Ting will be useless." Ling Ao said, "Søren is the only obstacle to Your Highness's ascension to the throne, even if this obstacle is not worth mentioning."
Lord of Luanyang City, Tu Liwen, said, "If Søren is so insignificant, how did he grow to this stage? Why didn't we destroy him when he was at his weakest?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone present was rendered speechless.
Tu Ningchen said, "The reason is simple. It was two women who dealt with Søren, and Søren is best at dealing with women."
Tu Ningchen's words were not only about Tu Lingduo, but also about Zhi Ning.
It was because of Zhi Ning's wish that Tianshui City was defeated and Duke Ze Wei's invasion failed.
Because of Zhi Ning, the nobles, vassals, and Zhi Li all suffered great losses.
"Zhi Ning has been imprisoned," Zhi Li said, "as long as Søren is not dead, she will not be released."
Zhi Li's words had a deeper meaning. Zhi Ning had been harmed by Søren, and the barrier could be mended by a warlock. But if Søren was alive, he could announce this at any time. Then Zhi Ning would not be able to marry Prince Ji Min of the Yan Empire, and Zhi Ning would be imprisoned in the name of a nun.
But if Sauron died, this secret would only be known by him and Jinning, and the engagement could still go on.
Of course, Zhi Li still did not know that Zhi Ning was pregnant.
Gui Xingfu said, "The reason why Søren is still alive and able to take back Tianshui City is because we have underestimated him. A lion must use all its strength to catch a rabbit, let alone a traitor like Søren."
Looking at the crowd, Gui Xingfu continued, "The current Søren is still very weak. However, we need to use our full strength to destroy him in an instant. We can't give him any more time. We can't give him any more chances. "
Tu Ningchen lifted the curtain and revealed a large map.
This was the topographic map of the eastern region of the Raging Wave Kingdom. There was Tianshui City, Waterfront City, Rocky Island, and Luanyang City.
"Søren has a total of twenty thousand troops on hand." Tu Ningchen said, "Yan Yan's army is ten thousand, Tianshui City's city guards are five thousand, and the remaining soldiers from Rocky Island and Tianshui City's miscellaneous troops are five thousand."
Tu Ningchen's information was correct. Søren barely had twenty thousand troops on hand.
Next, he took out some ship models and pasted them on the map, saying, "Søren and Lü Ting have a total of more than a hundred ships, but most of them are cargo ships for transporting salt. There are less than thirty ships used for battle."
Gui Xingfu said, "Thirty-three warships, and less than two thousand navy."
Tu Ningchen said, "So, Søren's navy is not worth mentioning."
Zhi Li asked indifferently, "Then, how many troops are you willing to send to destroy Søren? How many are you willing to send? "
Gui Xingfu said, "Linhai Town is willing to send out 32 battleships, two thousand naval troops, and eight thousand elite soldiers to be used in the battle after landing on land."
Ah Shizhuo said, "My Young Master is willing to send out a third of the Yingzhou Fleet to kill Søren."
His Young Master was, of course, Aslo. He conquered the Yingzhou Island Lord's daughter and used some unknown methods to obtain a large Yingzhou Fleet.
Yingzhou Island did not belong to any country. It was an independent force with the world's number one navy.
Gui Xingfu said, "A third of the Yingzhou Fleet, how many warships and navy are there?"
Ah Shizhuo said, "Three hundred warships and thirty thousand navy."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Yingzhou Island was only the size of a province, but it had a thousand warships? A hundred thousand navy?
Next, everyone looked at City Lord Luan Yang, who had the number one navy in Raging Wave Kingdom.
"A lion will fight a rabbit with all its strength." Tu Li said, "My Tu Li Family is willing to send two hundred warships and twenty thousand navy."
Now, the combined forces of the three clans actually had 530 warships and a navy of more than 50,000.
Now, only the Tu Ling Family had not expressed their stance.
Tu Lingtuo said, "My Tu Ling Family is not a feudal lord, we don't have warships, so we need you to send cargo ships to help us transport troops."
City Lord Luan Yang Tu Li said, "No problem, we have as many cargo ships as we want. How many troops are you going to send? "
"Fifty thousand." Tu Lingtuo said.
As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
The three families' navy added up to more than fifty thousand. In addition to Tu Lingtuo's fifty thousand, it would be a total of one hundred and ten thousand.
Is it necessary to send out one hundred and ten thousand just to destroy Tianshui City?
City Lord Luan Yang said, "No problem, we have as many cargo ships as we want."
Then, Tu Ningchen said, "But, is there a need for us to attack from the sea? One hundred and ten thousand troops, whether from Celestial Wolf Pass or Gale Thunder Fortress, can easily enter Tianshui City's territory. "
Zhi Li nodded, "There is a need, and all of them have to pretend to be pirates."
Hearing this, everyone felt a sense of absurdity.
In this world, where could they find a force of more than one hundred thousand pirates? This army of one hundred thousand pretending to be pirates was like the king's new clothes, it was seen through at a glance.
Zhi Li said, "Even though the clothes of a pirate are laughable, they still have to be worn. After all, the kingdom's army cannot attack a feudal lord's territory for no reason. Even though His Majesty has decreed that they cannot leave the palace, he can let Gao Yin take the Dragon King Rod and kill any commander who invades Tianshui City. "
Indeed, it was easy for one hundred and ten thousand troops to attack Tianshui City, they could just crush them.
However, no one could stop Gao Yin from using the Dragon King Rod to kill people. Just like Duke Meng Wei, he could flatten Tianshui City with a single order. But if he did so, he would die without a doubt. So in the end, he could only order a retreat, because who in a high position would be willing to die?
Even though the king was alienated by the feudal lords and nobles, a king was still a king, with the Dragon King Rod and control of the inner court, he could kill people.
Zhi Li asked, "When can these five hundred ships and a hundred thousand pirate army be assembled? Attack Rubble Island and Tianshui City? "
City Lord Luan Yang said, "As long as the military funds are enough, my navy can be assembled in a month."
Ah Shizhuo said, "Sanctuary Island never does business that loses money, and their fleet is scattered everywhere, controlling many sea routes, after the money is in place, it will take about three months to assemble."
"Alright, then a hundred days." Zhi Li said, "After a hundred days, the hundred thousand pirates will come to Tianshui City, destroy the Suo Clan, and kill them all."
Suddenly, Ah Shizhuo said, "Then after the Suo Clan is destroyed, how will the Rubble Island and Tianshui City be divided?"
When this was said, Zhi Li's eyebrows slightly trembled.
City Lord Luan Yang Tuli said, "I want half of the Rubble Salt Field."
"Alright." Feng Li said, "The other half of the salt pans will be given to Ashino and Immortal Abode Island."
Ah Shizhuo said, "Suo Ningbing is my young master's wife, Tianshui City should be a part of my family."
Zhi Li's eyes trembled, then he laughed and said, "Sure, lend me the Tianshui City for twenty years. After twenty years, the Gui Clan and Asshi Clan will equally divide the five hundred li of Tianshui City. "
Thus, the secret meeting of Exterminating Suo Clan ended.
Gathering the power of four families, one hundred and ten thousand soldiers, to destroy the Suo Clan.
Even the profits after the war were almost divided.
At this time, eunuch Li Zhu quickly rushed into Duke Turing's Mansion, arriving at the highest gate of the Duke's Mansion.
"Little monkey, what's the matter that makes you in a hurry?" Prince Zhi Li's personal eunuch Li Chenglian was guarding outside the gate, the second expert of Wrath Waves Imperial Court.
When Li Zhu saw his adoptive father, he would directly kneel down and kowtow, extremely respectful.
However, at this time, he quickly knelt down and said anxiously, "Adoptive father, please tell His Highness that Princess Zhi Ning committed suicide by cutting her veins in the quiet room."
When this was said, Li Chenglian's face completely changed. He rushed to the highest floor of the castle at the fastest speed, came to Zhi Li and whispered, "Your Highness, the princess committed suicide by cutting her veins."
Zhi Li's eyes trembled. No one knew his sister better than his brother.
The first thing he thought of was that Zhi Ning was really pregnant. She committed suicide by cutting her veins to ask for help, to protect the child in her belly.
Instantly, Zhi Li's face turned pale.
It was said that girls were extroverted, and it was indeed true. Zhi Ning knew that Søren was her number one enemy, but she was still willing to give birth to his bastard child.
Immediately, Zhi Li ordered in a low voice, "You, go to the Hidden Garden as fast as you can. When you get there, directly hit her abdomen with your dragon power and kill the bastard child in her belly."
Li Chenglian's face turned pale. As a eunuch, he had no children, so he completely regarded Zhi Ning as his own. Now, Zhi Li actually ordered him to directly kill Zhi Ning.
However, he not only regarded Zhi Ning as his own, but also Zhi Li. Moreover, Zhi Li was his master, his only hope.
"Yes," Li Chenglian said, and then directly floated out like a ghost.
…
In the underground quiet room of the Hidden Garden of the Dragon Temple.
Zhi Ning racked her brains, but couldn't think of a way to save herself.
This was because this was a very inconspicuous manor in the Dragon Temple. It was very remote, and this was a secret underground room. Apart from the air vent, there wasn't even a window.
Therefore, it was impossible to leak any information to the outside world.
Moreover, time was extremely tight. Brother Zhi Li would be back soon.
Thus, Zhi Ning chose the most decisive method, which was to commit suicide by cutting her wrist.
This way, not only would it alarm the people in the Hidden Garden, but it would also alarm the people of the Dragon Temple, who would send great cultivators of the path of medicine to save her.
Great cultivator Byron loved her the most, so he would definitely rush over to visit her. At that time, she might have a chance if she begged him for help.
Not only did great cultivator Byron love her the most, but he also had an instinctive respect for life. He felt that stopping the birth of a life was the greatest sin.
Her plan was correct.
After the female cultivator watching over her found out that she had cut her wrist to commit suicide, she was immediately scared out of her wits and immediately went to the Dragon Temple to find a great cultivator of the path of medicine.
During this process, the news of Zhi Ning's suicide was inevitably leaked.
However, there was a flaw in Zhi Ning's plan.
Because Princess Jung Yeon left the Dragon Temple, great cultivator Byron was very sad, so he chose to go into seclusion to meditate and didn't want to see anyone.
Therefore, the news of Jung Yeon's suicide didn't reach his ears, so he naturally couldn't save her.
However, what you lose at sunrise, you gain at sunset.
Although Princess Jung Yeon left the Dragon Temple, she had been in the temple for more than ten years. Moreover, she was the most outstanding disciple of the Dragon Temple in the last hundred years. Therefore, she received the news almost immediately and rushed to the Hidden Garden of the Dragon Temple at the fastest speed.
However, Great Eunuch Li Chenglian was even faster than her.
…
At this time, inside the Hidden Garden of the Dragon Temple.
The cultivators watching over Zhi Ning and the experts sent by Zhi Li surrounded the underground room so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
After a quarter of an hour of treatment, Princess Zhi Ning slowly woke up.
However, the moment she opened her eyes, she didn't see her master, great cultivator Byron. Instead, she saw the cold expression of the female cultivator watching over her.
At this moment, this female cultivator was holding an energy pill in her hand. It was the pill that she spat out with all her might.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" The female cultivator coldly asked.
Immediately after, Great Eunuch Li Chenglian floated over and looked at Zhi Ning with a pitiful gaze.
Princess Zhi Ning's body immediately turned cold and was filled with boundless despair.
In the end, she still couldn't compare to her brother Zhi Li. He didn't give her any chance at all.
"Everyone, retreat." Li Chenglian ordered.
Immediately, everyone in the quiet room retreated, and the experts guarding outside also retreated.
In the entire room, only Li Chenglian and Zhi Ning were left.
"Grandpa, are you also here to kill my child?" Zhi Ning asked with a trembling voice.
This "grandpa" made Li Chenglian's heart tremble. His eyes immediately became moist.
When this girl was three years old, he was the one who personally saved her from the butcher's knife and sent her all the way to the Flame Capital.
For more than ten years in the Flame Capital, he spent half of that time by her side.
This was a vicious girl, but also a pitiful one.
Her viciousness was only shown to outsiders. In front of Li Chenglian, she would always be that innocent little girl.
He truly loved her as if she was his own granddaughter.
If Zhi Ning married a normal person and had children, he wouldn't know how happy he would be. He would be like an ordinary old man who was about to hug his great-grandson.
But now …
Li Chenglian said with a trembling voice, "Girl, this child shouldn't be left alive. He is Søren's child. You will have to marry someone else in the future."
Zhi Ning said, "I don't care whose child it is, but he is my child. My brother and I are the only two people left in our family. Now that we finally have one more, you want to kill his mother? "
When he heard this, Li Chenglian couldn't hold it in any longer. Tears streamed down his face.
He felt that after what happened tonight, his life would be shortened by at least five years. For an old man like him to be so heartbroken, it would really be mentally draining.
Finally, Li Chenglian didn't say anything else. He came to Zhi Ning's side and placed his palm on her stomach. He said gently, "Girl, don't worry. I will be quick and gentle. You won't feel any pain."
Then, Li Chenglian activated his dragon power to destroy the little life that had just sprouted in Zhi Ning's stomach.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a beautiful figure flew into the room like a shooting star. Her sharp sword pierced towards Li Chenglian.
Princess Jung Yeon received the news a little later than Li Chenglian, so she was a little late.
