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

At the southern border, the main force led by Gong Yuanzhi is ready to go.

At the border of the desert, Gong Yu was riding on a horse, looking majestic in his armor.

"Major General, when do we send out our troops?"

Gong Yu looked at the distant sky, "Now."

Su Rou leaned on the table and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, Shen Yao had already returned.

He was cold, as if he had just come out of an ice cave.

Su Rou rubbed her eyes and asked, "Did the emperor say anything?"

Shen Yao said, "The Southern Kingdom has sent troops and wants me to replace General Su and lead the troops to fight."

Su Rou frowned. "Isn't this a good opportunity? It would be much easier to give Nan Guo some leeway or allow them to pass. Did he say anything else?"

In fact, Su Rou could guess without Shen Yao saying anything. She had injured Shen Yao that day and rushed out of the capital with her father. The emperor could make others think that her father was a deserter with just a few words.

Although this reputation would not be good to hear, Su Rou felt that it was better than dying at the hands of the emperor.

"The Northern Kingdom has issued a nationwide manhunt for General Su and you."

Su Rou leaned on the table with her legs crossed, looking relaxed and contented. "Well, the old emperor won't be around for many more days. I have a request, do you agree?"

Shen Yao said, "You say."

Su Rou said, "Before the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom invade the Northern Kingdom, I will enter the palace in advance and kill the old emperor and the crown prince. I will leave the others alone and leave them all to you. This is just a small request."

Shen Yao knew that she had the ability to sneak into the palace alone.

but……

He was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

"I am with you. Without my permission, the guards will not let you go."

Su Rou said, "Actually, I look down on the guards you brought with you, but the palace is so big, and I want to force my way through the Xuanwu Gate. I'm afraid of alerting the enemy in advance and being discovered, which would alert the old emperor in advance, so I asked you."

Shen Yao looked at her and said, "You are really arrogant."

Su Rou glanced at him and smiled, "I'll take it as a compliment, but the Southern Kingdom mobilized troops so quickly..."

She thought the South would have to wait until at least next summer.

Wasn't the Southern Kingdom plagued by food shortages ever since it was defeated by her father a few years ago? And the population had also suffered heavy losses.

"The Southern Kingdom has been secretly recruiting troops and buying off many nearby small countries over the years. This time, they have made full preparations. I still want to ask, why did you let General Su leave the Northern Kingdom? If General Su were here, plus your brother..."

Su Rou interrupted him, "You might not believe me if I tell you."

She leaned back, her entire back resting on the table, staring at the ceiling thoughtfully.

"My father and my brothers have already died at the hands of the Northern Emperor. I also died at the hands of Crown Prince Xie Yuan. I was afraid of repeating the same mistake, so I made this wise move this time."

She suddenly straightened up, her eyes shining with excitement.

Shen Yao was silent for a while. Su Rou knew from looking at him that he definitely didn't believe it.

She didn't explain much, just waved her hands and smiled happily.

She did send her father and mother out of the northern country, and the only thing left to do was to kill the emperor and the prince.

Shen Yao said, "I can bring soldiers to accompany you."

Su Rou said, "That's fine, if you don't mind the trouble."

Shen Yao never thought that her affairs would be troublesome...

Five days later, at the southern border, a large number of refugees swarmed towards the southern city gate like a tide.

The soldiers of the Southern Kingdom set up their bows and arrows on the city wall, and the city gates slowly closed.

A general stood on the city wall and shouted, "Listen up, everyone below! His Majesty the Southern Kingdom has ordered all citizens from the Northern Kingdom to leave without permission, or else you will die if you enter the city."

The gap in the city gate was getting smaller and smaller. Even if they could run through, it might not allow everyone to pass.

The refugees rushed forward, and some of them, who were afraid of death, knelt down and kowtowed to the generals on the city wall and begged for mercy.

"Please, let my child in! We just want a way to survive!!"

The people's hope was right before their eyes, but as they watched it was about to be closed, they fell into despair.

Su Wan, who was riding on horseback, looked at this scene and felt so sorry for it. He gritted his teeth and said to Su Chong, who was riding behind him, "Boss, protect your Sanniang!"

Then, Su Wan pulled out the machete from his back. He quickly untied the cloth wrapped around it, and the black blade emitted bursts of cold light.

"Get out of the way!"

The people running in front saw Su Wan behind them, and it was as if they saw a mountain crushing down on them. They were so scared that they immediately stopped and fell to the ground.

Su Wan gathered his strength and threw the machete out. The machete spun in the air and flew towards the city gate of the Southern Kingdom. The blade happened to get stuck between the two city gates.

The generals standing on the city wall recognized Su Wan and shouted, "It's Su Wan! Quick! We must not let him break into the border!"

Su Wan also shouted loudly, "Quick! Go in!"

The refugees crawled under Su Wan's machete one after another, but soon they could no longer laugh.

The southern soldiers, armed with weapons, blocked their way.

Su Wan was the last one to come in. He took out the machete stuck on the city gate, and the general who was standing on the city wall also came down.

Two sides faced each other, one side was well-armed soldiers, and the other side was helpless refugees.

Su Wan cursed, "Do you have any shame? When two countries are at war, refugees will never be harmed! If you don't want to take them in, then don't take them in. Who are you trying to scare with your bow?"

The general narrowed his eyes and also recognized Su Chong in the crowd. "Su Wan, aren't you even more shameless? You're using the refugees as a shield to charge in! If you want to take action, do it quickly. Don't let any of these refugees escape!"

Su Wan threw the machete in his hand towards the general, and the machete stuck directly into the ground. The group of soldiers and the general were so scared that they took two steps back.

"I'm no longer General Su of the Northern Kingdom. I've surrendered my weapons and come to seek refuge. These refugees are so pitiful. Will you die of poverty if there are just a few more people in your country?"

The general frowned and looked at Su Wan again, "You still have Su Chong with you! With this attitude? Who are you trying to scare? Capture them all! I want Su Wan and Su Chong alive! Kill the others and throw them out!"

Su Chong stared at them fiercely, holding a long knife in his hand. If Aruo had not stopped him, he would have rushed up to fight with them.

Su Wan said, "We really are here to seek refuge. Why don't you believe us? We've already given you our weapons!"

The Southern soldiers looked at Su Chong and hesitated to step forward. While they were hesitating, a sweet voice came from the other end.

"The Emperor's order is here. Anyone who dares to touch them will be disobeying His Majesty's order."
