The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Gong Yuanzhi gritted his teeth, "You...!"

Su Rou stabbed a knife in front of Gong Yuanzhi, and the sharp blade was only a hand's distance away from Gong Yuanzhi's head.

The ferocious expression on Gong Yuanzhi's face subsided a little.

Gong Yuanzhi thought she didn't dare?

Su Rou came forward and looked at him proudly, "What now?"

Gong Yuanzhi's grip on her ankle tightened, "I can't let you go! Even if I die here, I won't let you get away!"

Su Rou was in great pain from his grip, but she could do nothing...

Gong Yuzhi's hands began to tremble. With such a huge tree pressing on his back, he must be almost unable to breathe, right?

A bolt of lightning had just struck, and the leaves were now burning with raging fire.

If Gong Yuanzhi continues to be pressed down like this, he will soon become a roasted suckling pig.

Su Rou sat down on the wet ground, her dress stained with mud.

"I have plenty of time to waste with you. Besides, I haven't killed you even though you're like this. Doesn't this mean that I really don't want to do anything to you?"

How come Gong Yuanzhi still doesn't understand the interests involved?

Gong Yuanzhi's temper is exactly the same as her father's, and he's as stubborn as a donkey.

Obey the emperor's orders!

Gong Yuanzhi said, "Although I failed to bring you back successfully, I have completed the mission assigned by the emperor. It is not a loss to drag you to death with me."

"Click..."

The tree trunks made muffled sounds as the fire roasted them.

Su Rou took a look and saw that there was still time.

Su Rou said calmly, "General Gong, when you sat in this position before, it wasn't to start a war and make the people of the world live in misery, right?"

Gong Yuanzhi said, "So what? We can't fight every day! Even if the kings and their troops can hold on, the people can't! You, a kid, are trying to incite rebellion, right?"

Su Rou smiled faintly. What good would it do for her to instigate Gong Yuanzhi's rebellion? She would definitely not do anything to strengthen the power of the Northern Kingdom.

Su Rou said, "I have no intention of attacking you. Let's discuss something. I will rescue you and send you back to the mansion. If you stop and let us go, please."

Gong Yuanzhi scoffed at her words. "This tree trunk is so heavy that I can't even break free, and you, with your thin arms and legs, can't even lift it... You didn't bring many soldiers with you to the South this time. Even if you called them all over, are you northerners still strong enough to lift such a heavy tree trunk?"

Su Rou sighed, "Luckily, it was me who escorted Prince Yu into the Southern Kingdom. If it were my third brother, you would have died here today. Your knife fell not far away. Let me go and I will go get it."

Third brother doesn’t have as much patience as her to deal with Gong Yuanzhi!

Gong Yuanzhi said, "Not loose."

Su Rou was speechless and kicked Gong Yuanzhi in the face. She got up from the ground and went over to pick up Gong Yuanzhi's long sword.

Su Rou rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender arms.

Gong Yuanzhi said, "Don't waste your energy... The knife is very heavy. Even if you can lift it, it's still..."

Gong Yuanzhi was halfway through his words when Su Rou raised her machete and chopped at him.

Fortunately, the long knife fell on the tree trunk and she cut it a little.

The solid wood was much stronger than she had imagined.

Gong Yuanzhi said, "Who the hell are you, little girl?"

His long sword was very heavy, but she was able to wield it. Although the force of the sword just now was a little lacking, it was definitely not something an ordinary woman could do.

Gong Yuanzhi saw Su Rou swinging the long sword again.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and Gong Yuanzhi could see a hint of murderous intent in her fierce eyes.

In a trance, the scene before him reminded him of the scene when Su Wan stood in front of him and wanted to kill him.

He subconsciously held his head with both hands and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

That was the fear he had always buried in his heart.

Su Rou was stunned for a moment, then bent down to check Gong Yuanzhi's injuries. "What are you afraid of... I didn't chop you."

Seeing that he ignored her, Su Rou swung the long knife again, and the sharp blade chopped on the tree trunk, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

A crack had appeared where she had chopped, but if she used the knife as an axe to chop it down, it would take forever to cut through.

correct.

Spear.

Su Rou jumped over the tree trunk, and her spear fell nearby.

"General Gong, hold on for a while. I'll go get the spear."

Although the spear was thin, the head was made of pure iron and was extremely sharp.

She raised her spear and threw it at the tree trunk like a spear. After repeating this several times, she poked several holes in the trunk.

This piece had become brittle. Su Rou grabbed the trunk with her slender hands and, with a force of both hands, she pried open the area full of holes.

Su Rou sped up and kicked away the half tree that was still pressing on Gong Yuanzhi.

She grabbed Gong Yuanzhi's clothes and dragged him out from underneath.

Gong Yuanzhi's back was covered in blood.

The tree trunk was burning fiercely at one end, but the entire trunk was already hot from the heat of the flames.

She collapsed on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she saved Gong Yuanzhi. In the future, when Gong Yu led his troops to attack the Northern Kingdom, he would have another trump card to survive.

"Ugh..." Gong Yuanzhi groaned twice, supporting himself with his arms and struggling to get up from the ground.

Seeing that he was still able to move, Su Rou immediately became alert, "You...you, you still want to attack me? I saved you, and if you attack me now, it would be disrespectful to me, your savior."

Gong Yuanzhi looked at her, "I... was injured by your father on the battlefield. Since then, I have never left the Southern Kingdom and became a half-crippled person... All these years, because of your father, I have lost interest in everything..."

"Su Wan has four children, each of them is very outstanding, but he only has one daughter who is raised in the capital of the Northern Kingdom. I heard that she is also very beautiful and graceful, but she hardly shows up in public. You Su family are really amazing, I am convinced!"

Gong Yuanzhi looked at Su Rou, his eyes showing kindness, "...What's your name?"

Su Rou looked at Gong Yuanzhi warily, "You don't need to know my name..."

It’s over, it’s over, Gong Yuanzhi recognized her.

Gong Yuanzhi didn't get angry either, he just nodded, "Your personality is exactly like your father's."

Su Rou saw that he was seriously injured and asked, "Can you leave? Otherwise, I will send you back. But I have to say in advance that you can't let anyone arrest me."

Gong Yuanzhi waved his hand and said, "I won't arrest you. Go away."

Su Rou grabbed the dagger half-believingly and prepared to leave. If she continued to stay here, it would only be more dangerous.

She took two steps and heard a "thump" sound behind her.

She was overwhelmed with emotions and turned back.

If Gong Yuanzhi were left here like this, he would die on the way before he could get back to the royal city.

Su Rou grabbed Gong Yuanzhi's clothes and said, "I don't care about the difference between men and women now. I hope you don't mind me. I'm going to rip the clothes off your back. You were hit by a tree and your spine might be injured. I'll treat your injury and then send you back."

Gong Yuanzhi lay on the ground, "You... go."

Su Rou cursed, "Who was chasing me just now and not letting me go, afraid that I would run away? Now you want me to leave? If you die in the wilderness and get eaten by wolves, Gong Yu will strangle me to death."

Gong Yuanzhi looked stunned, "You...you know Yu'er's identity?"
