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

The leading desert man stood in front and said, "Surrender yourselves obediently and open the city gates, and your young general will be able to survive."

Su Chong roared hysterically, "Leave me alone! Send someone to send a message back to the General's Mansion! Let my little sister... cough!"

In order to prevent Su Chong from continuing to reveal information to them, the leading desert man raised his hand and asked his subordinates to step forward and give Su Chong a heavy blow on the head.

Su Chong felt extremely dizzy for a moment.

The desert man raised his voice, "See? If you don't open the city gate, he will die at the hands of us desert people."

A man dressed as a general came out from the city wall. He looked about the same age as Su Chong.

"Major General Su bravely fought the enemy! We cordially send Major General Su off to the sky!"

Immediately, the soldiers standing nearby all chorused in a loud and powerful voice, "Farewell, Young General Su!"

The leading desert man was furious. "You bastard, the northerners are all a bunch of cowards. Are they just going to give up on saving you?"

Su Chong showed a bitter smile on his face.

The man standing on the city wall was the deputy general he always kept with him...

Her name is Chu You.

Su Chong raised his head. "If I had known you had such thoughts, I should have discovered it earlier! You did it on purpose!"

The reason why he was captured by these desert people was because Chu You interfered.

Now that he thinks about it carefully, it must have been during the time when he returned to the capital and no longer cared about the affairs of the border that Chu You took advantage of the opportunity and persuaded the soldiers at the border to surrender.

Now, except for him and the desert people, everyone else on the border should be Chu You's people...

Chu You leaned against the city wall, calm and composed. "What are you talking about, General Su? You can't ask us to open the city gate just for you and let the people inside suffer."

Su Chong gritted his teeth and said, "My brother and little sister will never let you go!"

He turned to look at the man from the desert and said, "You want to use me as a threat to make them compromise? This is impossible! Just kill me!"

The man from the desert became a little angry when he saw that he failed to use Su Chong to threaten the people in Chengmen.

He drew his long sword and walked towards Su Chong step by step...

Su Rou yawned. When Su Wan came back, his expression was extremely solemn.

Su Rou asked the maid to invite Su Wan directly to the main hall.

Su Rou asked, "What does the emperor think about the prisoners escaping from the palace?"

Su Wan placed his hands on the armrests of the armchair, looking a little tired...

"The Emperor is furious about this matter. The Imperial Guards have been punished. I've had enough time off, so the Emperor has reinstated me."

Su Rou said, "I see, you really can't do without my father in the court..."

Her face was calm as she said this, and this result was within her expectations.

Su Rou pondered for a moment, but...

Gong Yu had caused such a mess, it would be impossible to clean up this matter without a little effort...

But Su Rou thinks it’s better not to deal with it...

Su Rou said, "The servants brought back news today that my elder brother encountered trouble at the border..."

Su Wan frowned, "Boss? What trouble?"

Su Rou said, "My eldest brother's situation might be related to the eastern part of the desert. Perhaps the people of the eastern desert deliberately devised a way to lure my eldest brother over there in order to deal with our general's mansion."

Su Wan said, "Boss, have you sent back any news?"

Su Rou shook her head, "No."

Su Wan said, "Don't let the emperor know for now. It's better to send more people to investigate during this period."

My father didn't let the emperor know, probably to prevent the news from leaking out.

Su Rou nodded, "But father, how much do you know about the things in the eastern part of the desert?"

Su Wan sighed deeply, "The eastern part of the desert has ambitions, but it's insignificant. This kind of thing is not something you should care about."

Su Rou was silent for a while: "..."

I wanted to get some information from my father, but he remained tight-lipped.

He refused to reveal anything to her.

Su Rou was really curious about what was happening in the eastern part of the desert.

She had never been to the desert in her two lifetimes and knew very little about it.

In addition, when the Great Desert attacked the Northern Kingdom last time, the Northern Kingdom barely managed to cope. Su Rou couldn't help but become curious about what secrets were hidden in this...

Forget it, Dad just said that he would send someone to find out some information, and she should believe her elder brother.

But when she thought of the message Shen Yao brought to her, she still felt worried.

Su Heng looked into the distance with a dim gaze, and glanced at Su Wan beside him lightly, otherwise...

Carrying my father on my back to go to the border guarded by my eldest brother?

Su Heng is a person of action. Once she has thought of something, she will want to make it come true more and more.

The place where her eldest brother is stationed is remote. If she goes there, he will definitely not be so secretive that her father will not know anything about it.

She wanted to know what was going on in the desert, but her father refused to tell her, and Shen Yao and Gong Yu refused to reveal anything to her either. So she could only come to a conclusion by herself by contacting the people in the eastern part of the desert.

Su Rou packed up some things, took some dry food and some silver for travel expenses, and sneaked out through the back door of the general's mansion under the cover of night.

Unexpectedly, she had only taken a few steps with the horse when a figure blocked her way.

In the moonlight, Su Rou saw the man's face. It was Gong Yu.

Su Rou said, "You are scaring ghosts in the middle of the night."

Gong Yu stared at her, "You're not sleeping at night, sneaking around like a thief?"

Su Heng snorted coldly, "I didn't. I'm going to the desert. Get out of the way and don't let my father know about this."

Gong Yu stopped her and said, "How are you going to go by yourself? What if you run into bad guys on the way? I'll accompany you."

She turned her head, raised an eyebrow, and said proudly, "Accompany me? Are you sure you don't want to monitor me or worry about what I might do to the people in the desert?"

No matter what, Gong Yu is a southerner, and southerners have interests in the desert.

Could it be that Gong Yu didn't know what was happening in the eastern part of the desert? Even if he told her so, she wouldn't believe it.

Su Rou discovered that there was an alley leading out of the back door of the general's mansion, and there were many masked men riding on horses on the street outside.

There was even a carriage that had been prepared long ago.

She turned her head to look at Gong Yu. This guy was already prepared...

It was obvious that he knew she would leave tonight and had made preparations in advance.

"Young lady, please take the carriage with our master. Otherwise, with so many of us, we might make some noise and wake up General Su who is already resting."

Su Rou frowned, "Threatening me? You don't care? What's more, your master and I have no relationship and no life together. I am now the wife of the current left prime minister who is about to marry. What is your master's intention in doing this? Kidnapping a decent woman?"
