The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 215 Exile 42

Suoya's action shocked everyone, including Suo's family.

They thought that Suo Zheng and the Suo family might not win, but they really never thought that he would die at the hands of his own son.

Suo Zheng died with his eyes open. He tried hard to turn around and look at Suoya, but his eyes were wide open without any movement.

Soya had just killed his father, but at this moment his face looked calm.

Walking around Suo Zheng's body, Suo Ya came to the front.

"Open the city gates and welcome the princess!"

The head of the Suo family has died, and the young master Suoya is assumed to succeed to the throne, even though the method he uses is not glorious and no one understands.

So what if others are angry and incredulous?

When faced with a powerful enemy, they habitually obey first.

The city gate opened, and Chao Yao and the soldiers walked in slowly.

Suoya, with Suo Zheng's blood still on his lapel, led the others to stand opposite Chao Yao, welcoming Chao Yao respectfully with all the etiquette.

"Princess, please forgive me. The Suo family is guilty. The new head of the family, Suo Ya, will lead the Suo family to surrender. We are willing to hand over all the Suo family's wealth in order to have a chance of survival."

"Saoya, what the Suo family did is unforgivable."

Chao Yao's voice was cold and his tone left no room for doubt.

Suoya raised his eyes and said slowly: "Your Highness, Princess, may I come forward to discuss this with you?"

When Raymond and Lu Fufeng heard Suoya's request, they hurriedly stopped him, and Raymond's attitude was even more resolute.

"Your Highness, this man killed your father suddenly, catching him off guard. What if he does the same to you again in the future? What should you do?"

Lu Fufeng didn't quite agree, but he knew Chao Yao had his own ideas.

"Yaoyao, if you agree, even though I think it's too dangerous, I will still stand by your side."

Chao Yao smiled faintly at Lu Fufeng and replied: "It doesn't matter. I also want to hear what he wants to say. At this point, what other cards can he reveal?"

She turned to Soya and said, "I agree that you should come forward, and I also want to hear what else you want to argue."

Soya bowed and walked forward slowly.

Even at this point, the young man from a noble family still maintained his bearing, and every step he took seemed to have been measured.

"Your Highness, please dismiss the people around you."

Suoya looked at Lu Fufeng and Raymond, and his meaning was obvious.

Chao Yao raised his hand and waved it backwards, and Lu Fufeng and Raymond obediently stepped back.

Soya then said, "When Her Royal Highness the Princess and her family first came to the North, they suffered many hardships. Especially when the prince was building the city walls and patrolling the border, they often encountered assassinations, but they were lucky enough to escape one by one. Later, they were almost poisoned, but in the end they did not really come into contact with poison. Her Royal Highness the Princess, have you ever thought about the reason?"

Chao Yao smiled. Why were his parents able to escape these assassinations? Wasn’t it because of those amulets?

Is it possible to survive without these amulets?

She thought so in her heart, but she still wanted to say something different.

She asked jokingly, "Oh? Tell me about it."

"The Suo family had already discovered that the prince's family had come to the North. This was normal because all those exiled to the North would be investigated by the Suo family. My father ordered the assassination of the prince's family. I certainly knew about this order, but I did not agree with his approach, so I secretly rescued your father and mother."

"I see."

She didn't really care whether what the other person said was true or not.

The Suo family must be destroyed. This is Caesar’s most basic requirement.

As long as their family is not destroyed, the royal family will find it difficult to raise their heads and establish their authority.

"The royal family needs an heir like the prince so that the country can be stable. This is also the overall perspective that I think should be maintained. I don't care whether I can take that path or not. Such responsibilities and obligations are my shackles."

Soya continued to speak his mind, and at this point he had to be extremely honest.

"So, please, Princess, please spare our Suo family. I swear in the name of the head of the family that I will lead the Suo family to leave the Ice Country and never set foot in it again in this life."

"Even if you don't hand over your family property and don't leave the Ice Country, I can still catch you all and confiscate all your property. So I don't accept your negotiation. As for the life-saving grace you mentioned, isn't that what you should do? As a citizen of the Ice Country, it is your duty to protect the royal heir."

Suoya felt a chill in his heart when he heard Chao Yao's firm words, but he knew that he must not give up at this moment.

He took a deep breath, a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes, he knelt on one knee, and when he looked up, his eyes were full of love.

"Your Highness, Princess, I am willing to trade my life for the Suo family's retreat. I am the only one left in the Suo family's main branch, and the other branches have no contact with the Suo family's main lifeline. If the Princess is willing to accept me as her guest, I am willing to offer all the resources of the Suo family with both hands."

Just as Soya finished saying this, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air in his ears. Before he could react, the arrow stuck in his throat killed him directly.

The one who shot the arrow was Lu Fufeng. He walked towards Chao Yao with a longbow. Before anyone could react, he stood beside Chao Yao with a cold look on his face.

"The only fate for anyone who dares to snatch a woman from me is death!"

Chao Yao turned his head and looked at Lu Fufeng. Although his expression was cold, Chao Yao inexplicably felt that he was very angry, extremely angry!

What are you angry about?

This man just made a confession and he lost his life!

Chao Yao thought about everything that happened in her past lives and found that since she had been with Fu Feng, no man had ever confessed his love to her.

Looking at him like this today, maybe someone had confessed his love to her before, but he just didn't have the chance to do so in front of her.

Perhaps it was because Chao Yao's gaze was too hot, Lu Fufeng finally realized what he had just done.

His eyes were evasive, and he seemed a little at a loss.

"Yaoyao... I'm sorry, I... I was just too angry just now. How could a man like him have the guts to think of you! He... He is plotting something evil!"

Chao Yao chuckled, "I didn't say anything to you, why are you so nervous? Forget it, Suoya was going to die a long time ago, and his death in your hands can be considered a military achievement for you."

"You don't blame me?"

Lu Fufeng was a little surprised. He thought Chao Yao would be angry or say something to him, but he didn't expect her to say that she had won a military merit.

"Well, I don't blame you."

When the other members of the Suo family saw that Suoya was dead, they rushed forward like crazy.

Chao Yao turned around and ordered the army: "All members of the Suo family, except for the children and the elders, all others shall be killed without mercy!"

Although the remaining troops of the Suo family were large, they had little ability to fight back against Chao Yao's army.

This actually made Chao Yao puzzled. As a family that had been planning for a hundred years, why wouldn't they expand their military forces?
