Su Rou said, "But why did His Royal Highness Prince Yu ask me to come here today?"

Gong Yu laughed muffledly, "Can't you guess?"

Su Rou met Gong Yu's gaze directly. "I don't think you came here just to make me jealous, so you asked me to watch you being intimate with Princess Nineteen, right?"

The atmosphere between the two people gradually became solemn, and as their eyes met, neither of them was willing to bow to the other.

Princess Nineteen stood up and said, "It was I who wanted Prince Yu to call you here. Please don't misunderstand me. There is nothing between him and me. I simply wanted to see you. I just didn't expect that the person I bumped into on the street that day would be General Su's daughter."

Su Rou said, "The capital of the Northern Kingdom is very small. You can run into acquaintances just by turning a corner. You want to see me? How can I even begin to say that? I guess you and I have never met before."

If that were the case, Su Rou could actually understand that this Nineteenth Princess was most likely here for the title of the General's daughter...

Moreover, Su Rou could confidently say that the Nineteenth Princess was trying to win over the General's Mansion...

Otherwise, Gong Yu would never let him meet Princess Nineteen.

Gong Yu didn't want her to know what he did in secret.

Princess Nineteen said, "Although I know it's unlikely, I still want to try to tell you... Before I smashed your candied haws on the street last time, I had already heard of your name in the desert. My father is the king of the entire desert. If Prince Yu hadn't rescued me this time, I might have become a concubine in the harem of the current emperor of the Northern Kingdom... Although the situation in the desert is now defeated, my father still refuses to give up and wants your general's mansion to submit to us in the desert..."

Princess Nineteen finished her words and added, "But don't worry. As long as General Su and your brother are willing to submit to our Great Desert, we will honor you as the Imperial Master, surpassing my father. We can also... make you our most honored princess."

Su Rou was not interested in these things.

Reputation and money cannot be taken into the grave after death.

Su Rou looked at Gong Yu, "What should we do now? You, the Southern Kingdom, want our General's Mansion to submit, and now the Great Desert wants our General's Mansion to submit too... How about you two compete?"

Gong Yu lowered his eyes, "If you are willing, go to the desert."

Su Rou and Princess Nineteen were both stunned.

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

Su Rou said, "I don't know the desert, so I can't give you an answer for now."

Princess Nineteen turned her head, looking shocked, "Is that what you meant?!"

Su Rou's expression was calm. "Indeed, I do, but I have no intention of letting the General's Mansion submit to anyone."

Gong Yu glanced at her and said, "You said such words in front of us, aren't you afraid that I will go to the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom and stab you in the back?"

Su Rou laughed. It would be great if Gong Yu could really do that.

Her father holds the military power, and the emperor cannot take it back even if he wants to. She has long thought that perhaps their general's mansion could rebel?

But this position will definitely not be warm. At least now, their general's mansion is only watched by the civil and military officials in the court. If he really becomes a member of the royal family, won't everyone in the world keep a close eye on him?

Su Rou said, "You go ahead. You never know for sure that my third brother will lead his troops to the gate of your Southern Kingdom's capital tomorrow."

Princess Nineteen said, "The situation in the desert is unstable right now... It's understandable if you choose the Southern Kingdom."

Su Rou said, "The General's Mansion will not surrender, but we can reach a consensus. Do you want to make a deal with me?"

Gong Yu smiled and said, "What? Are you going to kill Shen Yao and marry her?"

Su Rou glared at him fiercely, "I...amn't this taking advantage of my superior conditions to gain benefits for the General's Mansion?"

Gong Yu said calmly, "If you really want to do good for the General's Mansion, why not marry into our Southern Kingdom? I will ensure that your family will rest in peace."

Is Gong Yu planning to trick her into going to the Southern Kingdom first, and then find an opportunity to kill her later?

Su Rou shook her head. "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. My engagement with Shen Yao has already been confirmed and it's impossible to cancel. What's more, isn't Da Mo also trying to win over your Southern Kingdom? If your two countries join forces, you'll just marry the Nineteenth Princess."

Gong Yu stood up and said to the Nineteenth Princess who was sitting beside him, "I told you that talking to her calmly like this would lead to no results. If the Great Desert sends you to marry me, I will marry you."

Su Rou's heart sank. Wasn't this the result she wanted? Why did she suddenly feel a little unhappy...

Princess Nineteen pulled her aside to explain, "Prince Yu and I..."

Su Rou held Princess Nineteen's hand in hers, her face sincere. "It's okay. I know what kind of person he is. You don't need to explain for him. Our General's Mansion won't help either side. But if you need it, I can make a deal with you. How about it? Do you want to consider it?"

Princess Nineteen said, "What do you need us from the desert?"

Su Rou narrowed her eyes, knowing Wenrou, "It's actually very simple. If the General's Mansion gets into trouble in the future, I need Da Mo to stand up and protect our people."

Princess Nineteen looked in the direction Gong Yu left, looking hesitant, "But Prince Yu..."

Su Rou held Princess Nineteen's face in her hands and asked her to look at her.

"Never mind him. This is just a deal between our General's Mansion and the Great Desert. It has nothing to do with the Southern Kingdom or Prince Yu."

Princess Nineteen's eyes flashed with surprise. After thinking for a moment, she nodded solemnly, "Okay, I promise you, I will tell my father about our conversation after I return to the Great Desert. We at the Great Desert have only one condition: if necessary, the Great Desert will ask for help from General Su and General Su, and I hope they can help."

She had reached a deal with Princess Nineteen.

But apart from this matter, Su Rou had something she had always wanted to ask the people of the Desert Royal Family.

Su Rou asked, "How did you manage to capture the border guarded by my second brother in one fell swoop? Did you have sophisticated combat equipment? Or did you have a top-secret battle plan?"

Princess Nineteen said, "I'm not aware of what happened on the battlefield... but the troops that attacked your border weren't from our Great Desert City, but from the east... our forces in the Great Desert aren't unified."

If that was the case, Su Rou would understand why Princess Nineteen wanted to meet her.

Their desert royal family wants to seek help from outside.

And the General's Mansion is the most suitable person.

However, the desert may change dynasties at any time. After all, the desert respects the strong. If a young and promising person appears one day and kills the current king of the desert, then this young and promising person will become the new king.

Su Rou said, "Eastern? Are the soldiers they have any different from yours?"

Her father and second and third brothers had kept this matter a secret from her. Now that she finally had someone to inquire with, she naturally wanted to ask for more information.

Princess Nineteen said, "They are no different from us, but they are said to have a secret weapon. I don't know what it is..."

After asking the most crucial question, she still found nothing. Su Rou had heard Andre talk about this secret weapon before.

She scratched her hair, Trouble!

What the hell is this?

Could it be that the Barbarian King in the East has forged some powerful weapons without telling the King of the Desert and other tribes?

Su Rou said, "Never mind. I can't get anything out of you. But your desert changes its king so frequently. Why hasn't anyone raised any objections to your father?"

Princess Nineteen said, "Actually, it's all because of my brothers... Although the kings of other tribes appear to be very obedient to my father, he knows everything they do behind the scenes... Each king of those tribes is exceptional, but my father has my brother. My brother has been pacifying the desert in recent years, so they no longer dare to plot anything secretly..."

The corners of Su Rou's mouth twitched slightly. Which division was the king who was suppressed and killed by Gong Yu last time?

Su Rou said, "Well... your father is really fertile..."

This nineteenth princess is the youngest in the desert, and she has eighteen older brothers or sisters...
