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

When they appear here, they must be accompanied by a talking leader.

Su Rou planned to reveal her identity, otherwise Gong Yu and his men would not be able to leave here...

Su Rou leaned against the edge of the table, and her arrogant attitude made them all feel uncomfortable.

Su Rou watched them leave, supported herself on the table with one hand and yawned.

She sat there and waited for a while, then saw someone reappear at the door.

She looked closely and saw that the man in the lead was a middle-aged man about the same age as her father. He was wearing bright yellow armor that gleamed in the sun.

Su Rou met the man's gaze.

"Are you Su Rou?" The man came in from outside the door and looked her up and down.

Su Rou took out a waist badge from her sleeve. The one she gave was not from the general's mansion, but from her young lieutenant.

This thing is more effective than the one given to the General's Mansion.

The man took the badge from Su Rou, returned it to her after confirming that it was correct, took a step back, and bowed respectfully.

"I'm here on orders from the Lingbei County Magistrate to investigate a murder case at the border. I'm from the Inspection Office. I'd like to greet Captain Su."

Su Rou, out of politeness, also stood up and returned the greeting, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite."

The people who came turned out to be from the Inspection Office.

She thought it was a government office...

This matter is indeed within the jurisdiction of the Inspection Department...

This man looked to be about the same age as her father, and she couldn't bear his bow.

He Feng said, "The people below don't know you, sir. If there is any inadequacy in our hospitality, I hope you will forgive us."

Su Rou waved her hand, "It's okay."

The two of them sat down on the stools together.

Hefeng seemed humble when speaking to her, but that was not the case...the only difference between them was their official positions.

"People down there say that all the people here were killed by you, sir. Is that true?"

Su Rou nodded, and her eyes swept lightly over the guards following He Feng.

"Would it be convenient for us to be alone for a while?"

Hefeng raised his hand and motioned them to go out.

Su Rou continued, "Do you know that my eldest brother disappeared after returning to the border from the capital and resuming his post?"

He Feng was startled and shook his head. "According to the rules... General Su's affairs have no right to be reported to the Inspection Office... Besides, the Inspection Office has no right to hear about this matter."

Su Rou said, "After my eldest brother disappeared, the deputy general Chu You conspired to take control of the entire border force. You must have known about this since you were so close."

Su Rou was actually testing the waters. After all, they were local officials. How could they not have received any information about such a major event?

Hefeng must have noticed the murderous intent hidden in her eyes and hurried to explain.

"We really didn't pay attention to it... After all, General Su has been guarding it for many years, and nothing has gone wrong..."

Su Rou's expression instantly turned impatient. "I'm really confused too. My eldest brother is missing, but those of you closest to him didn't receive the news. Instead, the General's Mansion far away in the capital was the first to know!"

He Feng was afraid of angering her, so he continued, "Young General Su is missing... The Inspection Office might be able to help."

Su Rou lowered her eyes. "No need. Let your people replace the rebels and guard the border until new reinforcements arrive from the capital. I will find my brother myself."

She stood up and said, "My people may need to go in and out of the desert for a while. Please have your people open a door for us."

He Feng stood up and bowed respectfully again, "Don't worry, sir."

After coming out of the inn, Hefeng's expression drooped.

A servant followed him and asked, "Sir, she killed so many people at the border, and we're just going to leave like this?"

He Feng's face darkened instantly. "Last year, she massacred an entire village of desert people because General Su was captured by the desert people. It's not surprising that she could massacre the entire rebel army. Send some troops to guard this inn and keep an eye on Su Rou's movements. Report to me at any time."

Those young generals of the Su family are not scary, but Su Rou is a real lunatic!

Hefeng witnessed the tragic scene on the city wall and the corpses scattered all over the garrison!

Su Rou saw He Feng off, opened the curtain and went to the backyard of the inn.

The originally spacious yard was now filled with tied-up people.

She looked at Gong Yu, "Are you sure they are from the desert?"

Gong Yu said, "If you doubt me, just kill me."

These people were all waiters of the inn. Gong Yu was afraid that he had not completely eradicated the problem, so he also arrested the owner of the inn.

Su Rou said, "Why do I feel like you are playing tricks on me?"

Gong Yu turned his head away, like a little complaining woman who had something against her...

The man in black said, "Girl...my prince is doing this for you. How can you still blame him?"

Su Rou waved her hand. "You are his people, so naturally you should speak up for him. But... you spared their lives, but do you think they have something to do with my eldest brother's disappearance?"

Gong Yu handed her a scimitar and said, "This is a way for the desert people to show their loyalty. The owner of this inn is a desert person, and this was found in his room."

Su Rou took it and looked at it. The style was a bit similar to the one he gave her. Did Gong Yu borrow the traditional shape of the desert when he ordered it to be made?

Gong Yu continued, "In the desert, the strong are respected. If someone wants to pledge allegiance to someone, they will give their subordinates a dagger that represents them."

Su Rou said, "This reason is a bit far-fetched. Let's explain it to someone and see what they have to say."

The man in black took out the rag that was stuffed in one of the men's mouth.

Instantly, the man yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hurry up! Someone's killing someone! Help!"

The sound penetrated Su Rou's eardrums and made her ears hurt.

She bent down, grabbed his hair, and pushed his head to the ground.

"We can talk it over. There's no one else in the inn except us right now. Let's discuss it. If you can tell me some useful information, I'll let you go."

On the other end, the innkeeper made a whimpering sound.

Su Rou was attracted by the noise he made, "It seems the boss has something to say, let him go too."

The innkeeper was a handsome man dressed like a businessman. If Gong Yu had not discovered him in advance, Su Rou would not have known that this man was related to the people of the desert.

The reason why he was discovered was probably because Gong Yu discovered that morning that the restaurant had put drugs in their food.

It seemed like it was the day after she attacked the rebels who were hiding in the streets.

Su Rou crossed her legs, and before the innkeeper could speak, a hoe suddenly appeared in her hand as if by magic.

The hoe was pressed against the innkeeper's face.

Su Rou's eyes were sinister, and there was a hint of danger in her voice. "Think carefully before you speak. You know what I want to know."
