The grand plan unfolds!_2 And even so, Suo Lun still insisted on breaking up with her and turned to pursue Princess Zhining.
One can imagine how utterly heartbroken Yan Nai’er must have been at that time.
After the breakup, she simply vanished from the royal city.
Her uncle, Yan Nu, almost charged directly from Tianshui City Territory to the royal city, intent on killing Suo Lun.
The Suo family’s top martial artist, the master of Suo Hanyi.
Yan Nai’er’s father, Yan Yan, possessed even greater martial arts skills than Yan Nu, but being of a free-spirited nature, he did not like to be constrained.
Thus, he did not take up service with the royal family or the nobles but instead led a band of mercenaries, fighting battles everywhere.
Yan Nai’er inherited her father’s martial arts talent, achieving a high level of proficiency at a very young age.
She followed her father into battles from a young age.
Despite being a girl, and an exceptionally beautiful one at that, her father raised her as if she were a boy, which shaped her unique personality.
It can be said that, were it not for her unique upbringing, a girl as outstanding and beautiful as her would never have been within reach of a prodigal like Suo Lun.
“Such a pitiful girl.
Now that her uncle Yan Nu has died at the hands of Suo Hanyi, I wonder if she knows?” mused Suo Lun.
Suo Ningbing looked at him and asked, “Little brother, are you thinking of going to find her?”
Suo Lun nodded, “Her father, the Silver Wolf, leads a remarkably powerful mercenary group numbering two thousand men.
I need this group to become the seed of the Suo military force.”
Silver Wolf Yan Yan is perhaps a legendary figure in the mercenary world.
He is highly skilled in martial arts and possesses extraordinary talent, having advanced to the rank of Dragon Samurai by the age of twenty-five.
Not only the nobility, but even the royal family offered him high-ranking positions and a life of wealth and luxury—all within easy reach for him.
However, he discarded those high-ranking rewards like worn-out shoes and turned to become a mercenary.
In the mercenary world, he fought for decades, roaming the entire world.
He fought against the Barbarian Tribes, the Xiliang Kingdom, and powerful beast tide armies.
He was battle-hardened, almost invincible in combat, and over the past thirty years, his Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps became one of the most powerful mercenary organizations in the world.
He himself became a legend among mercenaries.
Suo Ningbing worriedly said, “Suo Lun has hurt Yan Nai’er like that before, her father would have…, he would probably be furious at first sight of you.”
More than furious, he would certainly draw his sword and kill on sight.
When Yan Nai’er and Suo Lun were in love, how strongly did Silver Wolf Yan Yan oppose it?
Could he really allow his daughter to be with someone like Suo Lun?
But when a girl falls in love, her intelligence seems to drop dramatically, like water that’s been spilled.
In order to be with Suo Lun, Yan Nai’er had a falling out with her father, Yan Yan.
He directly told her that if she followed that bastard, she should no longer consider him her father.
As a result, Yan Nai’er really left the Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps, stayed in the royal city, and remained by Suo Lun’s side.
Yan Yan, deeply wounded by his daughter, returned to the Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps at the borders without looking back.
Yan Nai’er was so foolishly devoted, forsaking the dignity and modesty of a lady, even causing a rift with her father, only to be abandoned by Suo Lun.
And now, when you, Suo Lun, are in a desperate situation, you turn to seek my help again?
You’re even eyeing my mercenary troops; do you have no shame?
At this moment, anyone else upon meeting Suo Lun would probably draw their treasured sword and cut him to pieces, right?
Suo Lun asked, “After Yan Nai’er left the royal city, did she go to her father’s Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps?”
Suo Ningbing shook her head, “I don’t know, but she probably did.
Other than her father’s place, she had nowhere else to go.”
Suo Lun, looking at Yan Nai’er’s portrait, said, “Suo Lun really deserves to be chopped to pieces, how could he have the heart to hurt such a lovely and innocent girl.
That bastard is simply unworthy of her.”
Suo Ningbing gently said, “But you are worthy.
Bring her back, and bring back her father’s army, too.”
“Won’t you be jealous?” Suo Lun laughed.
Suo Ningbing’s expression turned wistful, “You…
you can’t actually marry me in the end.”
“Who says,” Suo Lun declared firmly, “I will marry you, and I will reclaim my true identity, marrying only you.”
Suo Ningbing’s beautiful face flushed with happiness, then she gave him a fierce glare and said, “You say that, but did you have to touch?
Suo Lun realized that as he spoke, his hand had found its way to an inappropriate place and had squeezed tightly.
Then, Suo Ningbing reluctantly said, “When do you plan to go find Yan Nai’er and try to win over her father’s troops?”
Suo Lun replied, “As soon as the foundation here is built, the plan to earn one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins is set in stone, and at least thirty to fifty thousand Gold Coins are already in hand, I’ll set out immediately.”
The following day, in the great hall of the small castle, it was bustling with people.
Not only were the heads of the several Suo family Samurai clans present, but also the leaders of the over one-thousand slaves, all were in attendance.
Today, Suo Lun was set to officially announce the miraculous plan to earn one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins.
Suo Mu’s eyes were bloodshot; he hadn’t slept well the night before because he really didn’t know how to make one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins in this barren land in less than half a year’s time.
He pondered numerous possibilities, but none gave even the slightest hint of a solution.
What’s the most lucrative venture in this world?
Of course, it’s gold mines, silver mines, using slaves and prisoners of war to mine, and smelting the ore into Gold and Silver Coins directly.
