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

Su Rou looked at Andre, what?

Andre continued, "I think General Su and Junior General Su should have seen it."

Su Rou was still confused. Andre talked for a long time, so what was it?

Su Rou said, "My father and my second and third brothers didn't tell me anything after they came back. Why don't you tell me what it is?"

Andre said, "...they didn't tell you maybe because they wanted to hide it from you."

Su Rou fell silent. This man had aroused her curiosity, and now he told her that her father and brother knew about it, but deliberately didn't tell her?

Father and second and third brothers knew what it was, but they wouldn't tell her even if she asked...

Su Rou was about to get angry when the old woman actually brought over a bowl of hot soup. The hot soup was steaming and there was still steam coming out of it.

"Drink the soup, don't argue with him."

By the way, the old woman also went to the border at that time, so she should know about it.

Su Rou gave Andre a vicious look at Deng Lu and stood up with the soup in hand. "Come to think of it, you should know something about this, right? He's been keeping me in suspense, so tell me?"

The old woman said, "Well... it's better not to be impatient, girl."

How come even the old woman says that?

Su Rou tilted her head back and tried to drink the noodle soup in one gulp, but she was scalded by the hot soup on the first sip.

She stuck out her tongue and her tears were burned.

The old woman smiled and said, "Let it cool down and drink it. It will fill your stomach."

Su Rou snorted coldly, feeling annoyed and not in the mood to wait for the soup to cool down.

She placed the bowl next to the campfire and said, "I won't drink anymore. I'm going back now. I came here just to tell you that we're leaving tonight."

The old woman said, "Okay."

The old woman and Andre watched her leave.

As soon as Su Rou returned home, she went back to the yard and fell asleep on the bed.

To avoid any trouble tonight, she had to go with him.

Su Rou tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep. But when she opened her eyes, she heard a dog barking in her ears. It was already completely dark outside.

What time is it now...

She sat up drowsily and opened the door to let the outside air in.

The cool air filled her nostrils and Su Rou woke up instantly. There was a noise outside the yard and Su Rou heard someone talking.

"Go and get the Third Master here quickly. Lieutenant General Liu captured a group of people last night, but when they were brought back to the city, they resisted and injured quite a few."

Su Rou was shocked. The old woman and the others had already started to act? And they were caught by Liu Bai.

what's the situation……

Su Rou climbed over the wall and headed towards the city gate.

We should be able to make it in time if we rush over now, right?

But what she didn't know was that after she left, the maid outside her yard knelt at Su Chi's feet.

"Third... Third Master, the young lady should have left by now, right?"

Su Chi looked at the figure on the roof that was getting farther and farther away, and hummed in a muffled voice.

It was a dark and windy night, and the bright moon in the sky illuminated the streets of the entire capital.

Liu Bai, holding a long sword in his hand, led his men to block the city gate. "Who is the poisonous woman on the wanted list in the carriage? Could it be the Northern Barbarian King who disappeared from the execution ground earlier?"

The old woman's mouth was bleeding, and her face was grim. "What does it have to do with you? Let us go, and you might still have a chance of survival!"

The old woman put her hand into her pocket but felt nothing.

Liu Bai conjured up several small pills out of thin air. "You're looking for this? I stole it when we were fighting on the outskirts of the city. This can trigger poison gas when you crush it, right?"

The old woman looked flustered for a moment, and her expression became even more strained as she covered her aching chest.

Girl... I have met my match tonight. If I can escape from this man's knife alive and be thrown into prison, you must come to rescue me again.

Liu Bai raised his hand and said, "Catch them. This poisonous woman is no longer poisonous. She is just an old woman who is more agile than the average old woman."

When Su Rou arrived, she saw the masked man protecting the old woman and the carriage and fighting with the soldiers.

She was about to jump when she was stopped by a hand.

Gong Yu said, "You're going down like this rashly. Do you think your father's deputy general won't recognize you?"

Su Rou said, "Why are you here?"

Gong Yu said, "Someone in your General's Mansion has leaked the news that you kidnapped the Northern Barbarian King."

Su Rou's breathing stagnated. She had always thought that those spies were useless and therefore not to be feared. It was really annoying when they caused trouble for her at the critical moment.

Gong Yu put on a mask and jumped off the eaves. "Stay up there quietly and don't show up in front of them."

Gong Yu was wearing a nightgown. Logically, Su Rou had never seen him dressed like this before, but why did she feel that he looked familiar? She seemed to have seen him somewhere before...

Gong Yu landed steadily on the ground and attacked Liu Bai quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

With Gong Yu's joining, the situation turned around instantly.

Su Rou's heart finally settled down a little.

Gong Yu did not actually harm the soldiers' lives, he just knocked them unconscious with his fists.

Liu Bai was caught off guard and fell into Gong Yu's trap.

He turned his head and made a gesture to the old woman, who immediately understood what he meant, jumped into the carriage and drove away.

The others followed closely behind, chopped off the horses caught by Liu Bai and others with a knife, and rode away on their horses.

Gong Yu and Su Rou returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.

As soon as Gong Yu took off the mask, a sharp dagger was pressed against his neck.

Su Rou's eyes were sinister. "Before the winter of last year... the General's Mansion was attacked at night. Someone beat me to death on the path leading to my house. That person had his face covered and was wearing night clothes. His figure was exactly like yours. You came here to kill me from the very beginning?! Isn't that right!"

Gong Yu's hand holding the mask dropped to the ground, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you."

Su Rou exerted force with her hand, leaving a blood mark on Gong Yu's neck.

"Why... because you are from the South, and I am the daughter of the great general who destroyed your South? You approached me in the beginning because my last name is Su, right?" She frowned. Although she was questioning him, her expression was full of loneliness that she could not hide.

Gong Yu did not resist. He raised his hand and gently touched Su Rou's cheek. "I am a hostage. The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom originally ordered to seduce you and make you fall in love with me... to take the opportunity to win over the relationship between General Su and the Southern Kingdom."

Su Rou slapped his hand away, "So you did think about killing me?"

She was seriously injured at that time. After being beaten by Gong Yu, it took her a long time to recover from the injuries...

Gong Yu nodded, "Yes, but I am..."

Su Rou let him go, "I'm afraid you can't even believe what I said, right?"

Gong Yu saw her trying to get up and grabbed her wrist, "I'm serious, whether you believe it or not."

Su Rou shook off his hand, feeling very depressed.

Xie Yuan approached her for her family's military power. She thought that even if Gong Yu approached her with a purpose, he had never done anything to hurt her.

Rather than being sad, she felt that she just didn't quite understand.

Su Rou has no intention of falling out with Gong Yu, as the General's Mansion will still need him in the future.

Su Rou said, "I... will fight back, and we'll be even on this matter, okay?"

Gong Yu nodded, "Okay."

Su Rou clenched her fists and finally just slapped him.

"Evened out."

Gong Yu's eyes were filled with astonishment. "Are you serious?"

Su Rou had no expression on her face. "Yeah."

Although they said that, the relationship between the two of them had obviously become much more distant...

Su Rou sat down on the stool. "Spy from the General's Mansion, do you have any ideas?"

Gong Yu got up from the ground and said, "No, but I can confirm one thing. The other party is someone from the palace, but not the emperor."

Su Rou felt that what he said made sense. If it was the emperor, knowing that she had kidnapped Andre, she would have been captured by the Censorate or the Dali Temple before she even left the house.

Su Rou said, "My third brother and my second brother have been trying to catch spies these days, but there's nothing we can do. There are hundreds of servants in the general's mansion alone, and checking them one by one is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Gong Yu said, "Maybe you can tell it at a glance?"

Su Rou was stunned. Is this true? It’s not like a spy would write two words on his forehead and ask others to recognize him.

Gong Yu poured her a cup of tea and when he handed it to her, he accidentally touched the back of Su Rou's hand.

Su Rou turned her face away and pulled her hand back, "I... will try."
