Chapter 710 - 350: Slaughter until bodies are strewn all over! The ground is full of prostrate figures!_2
"Hmph..." Ding Meng snorted coldly, his eyes smug.
Suo Lun asked, "Why won’t you stand by my side?"
"The common people do not fear death, how can they be threatened by death?" Ding Meng said.
"Well said." Suo Lun replied, "But that only expresses your lack of fear of death, you still haven’t said why you won’t stand by my side."
"Traitors and rebels shall be executed by everyone!" Ding Meng declared.
"Traitors and rebels? When have I ever become a traitor and rebel?" Suo Lun questioned, "By the orders of His Majesty the King, my actions are legitimate. How did I become a traitor and rebel?"
"His Highness Zhi Li is wise and sagacious, undoubtedly the best choice as the sovereign of the kingdom. Yet you defy the heavens in your actions, for your own self-interest, you forcefully support the ascent of a woman to power, upsetting natural order, if not a traitor and rebel, what are you?" Ding Meng rebuked fiercely, "Moreover, you had a notorious reputation at the Royal City Academy, indulgent and lascivious. Someone as shameless as you also deserves my allegiance? Pah!"
After speaking, he spat disdainfully.
Suo Lun dodged quickly, avoiding Ding Meng’s spiteful phlegm.
Then, he looked at the proud young official with complex eyes and said, "You rise from the common people, full of pride, living a simple and hard life. Even after becoming the head of a county, your hands are still calloused and your clothes worn. You should be a good official."
Ding Meng coldly and disdainfully replied, "Hmph, spare me your hypocritical efforts. I will never give my loyalty to a treacherous lackey like you."
