617: Chapter 311: Zhi Yan dies for love, Suo Lun!
In the mansion of the Luan Yang Earl within the royal city!
“Does it still hurt?” Tuli Yang asked carefully as he applied the ointnt to Turing Duo’s bruised face, then gently blew on it.
The slap from Duke Turing Tuo had been fierce, swelling her face instantly, the pain burning like fire.
However, now that Tuli Yang had applied the ointnt, her face felt cool and the pain was much lessened.
“Shall we visit Duke Turing’s Mansion less often from now on?” Tuli Yang said, “Our Luan Yang Earl’s mansion is hardly much inferior to that of Duke Turing’s.”
“Okay,” Turing Duo said.
“Why did your father-in-law hit you?” Tuli Yang asked.
“He suspects that I’m involved with Zhi Li’s assassination attempt,” Turing Duo said.
Imdiately, Tuli Yang was taken aback, then a wave of sweet happiness surged in his heart.
This was a tightly-held secret, and he had not expected his wife Turing Duo to confide in him.
Instantly, he stopped asking further questions and continued to gently apply the ointnt to her face.
At that mont, Turing Duo’s heart was incredibly complex.
Tuli Yang’s ticulous care for her was truly touching.
If Suo Lun had been like this, probably all the won in the world would be willing to die for him.
But every ti she opened her eyes to Tuli Yang’s short and ugly appearance, her heart filled with resentnt and unwillingness.
She wasn’t as vain and shallow as Gui Qinshao, but she couldn’t completely disregard her husband’s appearance either.
Every ti she was with Tuli Yang, she wished the ground would crack open so she could crawl inside.
She always felt that people behind her back were pointing and laughing at her.
Just then, a female samurai ca in and said, “My lady, he is here.”
Tuli Yang was startled, then put away the ointnt and said, “Then I will step out, call if you need anything.”
He didn’t ask who Turing Duo was eting.
“He’s like my brother, although the family does not acknowledge him,” Turing Duo said.
Suddenly, Tuli Yang’s eyes lit up and his expression of happiness was unmistakable as he promptly left the room.
As Tuli Yang walked out, he saw a tall man in a black cloak entering, his face concealed within the hood.
With a heart filled with joy, and hearing that the man in front of him was Turing Duo’s secret brother, Tuli Yang stopped in his tracks and bowed, saying, “Greetings, big brother.”
Of course, the man who entered was Duke Turing Tuo’s illegitimate son, Fen Mo, who was now a key young leader of the Tianshui City Guard.
Seeing Tuli Yang’s warm gaze, Mo was montarily startled, then said, “Greetings, Princely Heir.”
Tuli Yang said, “Big brother, go in and talk to Duo.
If you have ti after, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Mo, still without letting Tuli Yang see his face, nodded and said, “Thank you, Princely Heir.”
Then, he went straight into the secret chamber to et with Turing Duo.
Mo grew up in a complicated environnt, being an illegitimate child of the Turing Clan who could not be acknowledged.
He had a rough childhood.
As he grew, he didn’t have much affection for these high-ranking noble youths and never showed them any good face.
Whether it was to Suo Lun or to Zhi Li, he was always cool and distant.
But facing the short and ugly Tuli Yang, and his eager gaze, Mo’s heart couldn’t help but soften a bit.
…
After entering the secret room, there was only Turing Duo in the dimly lit room, with no one else within dozens of ters.
“I went to Tianye City to recruit archers this ti, and I can’t stay long in the royal city,” Mo said.
Turing Duo sighed and said, “Mo, I don’t regard you as a subordinate, we are siblings of the sa father but different mothers.”
Mo was silent and did not respond.
Turing Duo continued, “In fact, in our father’s heart, there is no difference between and you.
Just now, he slapped out of my wheelchair.
If Tuli Yang hadn’t protected , I would have been kicked to death by him.”
Mo’s expression softened sowhat.
Then, Turing Duo asked, “How’s your progress with that matter?”
Mo, as Duke Turing Tuo’s illegitimate son, was later recruited by Turing Duo into the kingdom’s Heibing Mansion, then sent to spy on Yan Nai’er.
Initially, Turing Duo planned to use Mo to gain control of the Silver Wolf Legion, but she hadn’t expected the Silver Wolf Legion to fall into Suo Lun’s hands, now an important military force of Tian Shui City.
Mo also beca one of the most intensely grood young leaders of the Tian Shui City Army, even more prominent than Suo Mu and Jingyu.
So, Turing Duo and Zhi Li decided to continue with the mistake, allowing Mo to keep infiltrating Tianshui City, maximizing the power of this chess piece.
A few months ago, Turing Duo gave Mo an assignnt, his only assignnt, which was to find the location of the secret prison where Lord Tuli Yun was being held captive.
Of course, Turing Duo did not want to save Lord Tuli Yun but to kill…
him, so her husband Tuli Yang could inherit the title of City Lord.
“I found it,” Mo said.
Turing Duo was overjoyed; the location where Suo Lun was holding Tuli Yun was too secretive, and she didn’t know how many spies had been sent to find it, all without success.
It seed Mo’s position in the Tian Shui City Army was high indeed; it took him several months, but he finally uncovered it.
Mo then produced a map and laid it in front of Turing Duo, marking the precise location of the secret dungeon holding Count Tuli Yun.
“Here?” Turing Duo said, “This is a brothel with people coming and going.”
“Yes, right there,” Mo said, “And the brothel above has no idea that there’s a secret dungeon beneath their feet, holding captive a noble of the kingdom.”
