Chapter 308 - 178: Take back the main city! Slaughter!_3
Yang Hongyi said, "Suo Lun, but... but aren’t they also citizens of the Suo clan? Many people followed Nurdan in rebellion, perhaps they were forced."
Suo Lun replied, "Sister Hongyi, in this world, no one is innocent. Rebel soldiers who blindly follow can live. However, every officer above the rank of centurion is guilty. Moreover, I don’t have time to discern who among the crowd was coerced, at the latest the day after tomorrow I must lead the troops south to attack the Zhi Ning Allied Forces from behind at Tianlang Pass. Therefore, I need to capture Heavenly Water Main City in the shortest time possible."
Yang Hongyi spoke no further, realizing the Suo Lun in front of her was no longer the little brother she knew, not the wastrel who used to peek at her bathing and got beaten up by her daily.
"Suo Lun, you’ve grown up. If father saw you like this, he would surely be very comforted," Yang Hongyi said, looking at Suo Lun with a tender and complex gaze, then continued, "Jingyu, I’m a bit tired, take me to rest."
"Alright." Ye Jingyu pushed the wooden wheelchair, escorting Yang Hongyi out of the study.
Suddenly, only Suo Lun and Yan Nai’er were left in the room.
Suo Lun stepped forward, took her small hand, and gently stroked the area hit by the fist energy, appearing somewhat dejected.
"I’ve said, this injury is not serious at all, it won’t overdraw any life," Yan Nai’er said.
Suo Lun nodded and commented, "In the future, I really hope you don’t have to fight again, you really can’t afford to be injured anymore."
Yan Nai’er smiled at him without a word.
However, Suo Lun’s hand gradually started misbehaving, initially massaging just below the shoulder, but inching further down.
