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

Su Chi jumped onto his horse and looked in the direction of Gong Yu and Su Rou, "Watch her, don't let her run around."

Su Rou looked over and thought Su Chi was talking to her, so she nodded and said, "Third brother, be careful. I will keep an eye on Prince Yu."

Seeing Su Chi leaving with his men, Gong Yu pinched her chin and asked her to tilt her neck back and look at him.

The beautiful and delicate features were close at hand, and her warm breath fanned her face.

Gong Yu said, "He was talking about me. He told me to keep a good eye on you."

Su Rou slapped his hand away, "Nonsense, how could Third Brother ask you to look at me?"

Gong Yu didn't continue to argue with her. He let go of her and said, "If you insist on saying so, then so be it."

Between her and Gong Yu, who is the prisoner?

Su Rou thought Gong Yu was acting strangely. She quickly followed Gong Yu's steps and said, "There's nothing fun here. Why don't you come with me outside? Let's ride horses and go around the town."

Gong Yu said, "Just now, General Su said that we can't be allowed to... run around."

Su Rou grabbed his sleeve and said, "We didn't run around. We were in town. We didn't run far."

Gong Yu couldn't persuade her, so he went to the town with her.

Su Rou and Gong Yu each led a horse. The border town was not as lively as the capital, and almost all the people coming and going were merchants.

The only street vendors you can see are those selling noodles and drinks.

Su Rou saw the only bright spot in this gray place. She pointed to the candied haws vendor on the roadside and said, "Buy me one."

Gong Yu led the horse over and picked a bunch of big and plump ones for Su Rou. Su Rou took a bite and Gong Yu took out a piece of silver to pay.

Unexpectedly, the vendor took one look at the silver that Gong Yu handed over and gave a flattering smile, "My two guests, this is not enough."

Su Rou was stunned, with rice paper still on her lips. "Why are candied haws so expensive? Aren't the hawthorns just a little bigger than those at other places?"

The vendor said, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it. This is a normal price at the border."

Su Rou frowned and prepared to pick up the small yellow croaker and smash it on the vendor's face.

Gong Yu grabbed her hand and shook his head gently.

Gong Yu said, "I have some small change on me, how much do you want?"

Gong Yu took out his wallet. The vendor's eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them. "All this combined isn't enough..."

Su Rou put down the purse in her hand. The capital city was so prosperous that a piece of silver could buy all the candied haws from the vendor.

In this godforsaken place, candy can be sold at a higher price than in Beijing?!

This person is just looking for trouble!

Su Rou took a bite of the hawthorn ball and raised her eyebrows provocatively, "No problem, there should be a government office in the local area, right? We don't have enough money, so you can arrest us and report us to the authorities."

The vendor clasped his hands together and rubbed them back and forth, "If you two can't give me the money, then you can keep this girl here."

As the peddler finished his words, a dozen burly men suddenly appeared around them.

surrounded.

Su Rou realized that even if they paid off their debt with a house in Beijing, they would probably still say it was not enough to pay for the candied haws.

Su Rou chewed the candied haws in her mouth, swallowed it, and sighed, "I forgot, Third Brother reminded me that the border is the most chaotic, with all kinds of people here. If there is chaos, the government office will be useless..."

The vendor smirked, "Are you scared?"

Su Rou finished eating all the candied haws and threw the sharp bamboo sticks aside.

She looked at Gong Yu and said, "I want to have another bowl of noodles. See if there are any other sweets nearby. Please buy them for me."

Gong Yu brushed past the vendor and said, "Be gentle, their crime doesn't deserve the death penalty."

The vendor laughed and said, "I'm afraid he was so scared that he actually left this little girl and ran away by himself."

The next second, Su Rou slashed the vendor's neck with a knife.

"Death after cheating and deceiving is nothing to worry about."

Su Rou wrestled with the others, and the originally narrow road suddenly became much brighter.

The man who was knocked away by Su Rou smashed many stalls and wooden boxes on the roadside.

Su Rou kicked the man lying at her feet and said, "We just paid. You saw it, right? So eating your two candied haws is not a robbery, right?"

The man nodded shakily, "Yes... yes."

Su Rou picked up the straw target on the ground, which was covered with candied haws, and stepped on the man's face. "I paid for it. I bought all of this."

The man was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, girl, it's okay for you to eat as much as you want."

Su Rou looked into the distance and begged at the beggars on the roadside, "Come here! Aren't all of you hungry? They must have a lot of money on them. If you touch them, you might be able to have a good meal. The clothes on them are also worth a lot of money. If you strip them naked, you can get a few taels of silver."

As soon as Su Rou turned her head, several beggars swarmed over her.

Su Rou found Gong Yu at the noodle stall and asked, "Did you order vegetarian noodles for me?"

Gong Yu wiped the chopsticks clean and handed them to her, "It's meatless."

Su Rou put the candied haws back on the straw target and said, "Alright, Third Brother doesn't have much staple food. He gave me a sheep's head early in the morning. I gnawed on it twice and my cheeks are so tired."

Gong Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed Su Rou's cheek with his rough fingertips.

She looked up and found that Gong Yu's hands were stained with blood.

Gong Yu wiped it clean with a handkerchief and said, "Although this place is full of vicious people, I think you are much more vicious than them."

Su Rou smiled and said, "No, I am punishing evil and promoting good."

Su Rou swallowed a mouthful of noodles and felt some strength restored.

Gong Yu suddenly asked, "How did you get your hand injured? Who did you meet after you separated from us in the South Country?"

This sudden question made Su Rou pause with her hand holding the chopsticks.

Her finger was rubbed when she was helping Gong Yuanzhi to remove the tree trunk that day. She didn't notice it. The wound was not big, but it was visible.

Su Rou stirred the noodle soup in her bowl twice. "Do you believe me when I say I ran into Gong Yuanzhi? He chased me hard, but I didn't catch up. After he was hit by a tree, I took the opportunity to run away."

There was a smile in her eyes as she looked at Gong Yu's reaction.

But Gong Yu disappointed her.

He lowered his eyes, "General Gong didn't offend you, so you won't ignore him."

Su Rou: “…”

Sometimes, she really annoyed that Gong Yu was so close to her. He knew her too well.

To the point that she couldn't even think of her own thoughts.

Su Rou said, "You're right. I saved him. Do you think the young general from the Gong family will come to my house with gifts to thank me in the future?"

Gong Yu said, "General Gong is straightforward, just like General Su. He might marry that young general to you as a token of his love."

Although it was a joke, Su Rou was depressed.

Why was Gong Yu still so calm and didn't reveal anything?

Su Rou was full and planned to walk around for a while before going back.

The moment the two men stood up, a large group of people in black armor surrounded them like a tide.

The owner of the noodle stall squatted on the ground obediently. It seemed that such things happened frequently at the border.

"Boss! It's this little bitch. She killed so many of us and even stole our candied haws."

The man in black armor automatically made way for a middle-aged man with a thick beard.

Gong Yu lowered his voice and warned Su Rou, "Don't act rashly. He is from the desert, and they have influence here."

Desert people?

Su Rou stared at the only man she had spared just now.

She spared his life but he repaid her with hatred.

Su Rou picked up a candied haws and put it in her mouth. The sugar coating broke into pieces, making a "crunching" sound in her mouth.

Su Rou said, "What for? I bought the candied haws with my own money."

"Where are you from, girl? Where are you going? If you mess with us at the border, you won't be able to leave."

Su Rou said, "You have the government behind you, so you are so arrogant?"

Although this place is relatively empty, if a fight really breaks out, not only will she and Gong Yu be unable to escape, they will also be unable to win at all.

Su Rou glanced at Gong Yu beside her. This bastard was very good at disguising himself. He didn't want to reveal his identity, so there was no way he would reveal his true abilities. It was like she was carrying a burden.

The man sneered, a cruel look on his face. "Yamen? That's nothing in front of our Young General Su! Young General Su is the general stationed at our border! If you don't go back with us today, I guarantee you won't be able to go anywhere!"

Su Rou was stunned. Third brother was actually involved with this group of people?

Su Rou kicked the desert man in the stomach, but her strength instantly turned into nothingness.

When Gong Yu wanted to stop her, it was too late.

The desert man grabbed her slender ankle and threw Su Rou out directly.

She bumped into the vegetable cart...
