Chapter 343 - 190: The Truth Behind the Zhi Ting Rift! (Important)_4
Duke Zhi Ting’s stern expression finally relaxed gradually.
Suo Lun said, "This conspiracy might succeed against you, but it should not deceive the eyes of Zhen Yan Princess. I have seen those eyes, transcendent and ethereal, capable of piercing through all mists and human nature. What reason could make you knowingly jump into this plot, even to the point of breaking with me?"
"There is only one reason—the King has met with misfortune," Suo Lun pressed on, approaching Duke Zhi Ting, and enunciated each word, "You can no longer protect me, and more importantly, you need this incident to cover up the secret of the King’s misfortune."
At that time, when Ashi Luo and Suo Lun were at an impasse, Zhi Ting had to choose to leave one behind.
If he chose to leave Suo Lun, it would mean that when Duke Zhi Wei’s army of a hundred thousand approached Tianshui City, His Majesty would have to appear in person and order them to stop Zhi Wei.
However, the King was already unable to make a public appearance. By that time, the secret of the King’s misfortune would inevitably be revealed.
Once that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable. As soon as it was confirmed that the King had met with misfortune, the nobles and lords would surely support Zhi Li’s ascension to the throne in the shortest possible time.
Duke Zhi Wei boldly led an army of a hundred thousand to approach Tianshui City not only to eliminate the Suo family but also to test the King one last time.
