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

The next moment, they rushed up immediately.

Su Wan pointed the extremely sharp machete in his hand at them, blood splattered everywhere. Seeing this, the soldiers surrounding them immediately stopped and took two steps back.

In fact, Su Wan could see what was going on in this situation.

He took action, and the southerners had even more reason to cause trouble for them.

But he couldn't retreat, not just because of the people in the house.

The second and third brothers hadn't joined them yet, and his Arou hadn't come back either. What if...

What if his children couldn't find them when they came back?

"Anyone who dares to step forward will die."

The atmosphere became tense.

"Stop! Anyone who dares to hurt anyone from the Su Mansion will be sworn enemies with the Yuan Family!" A resounding voice came from outside the crowd.

Everyone made way for them.

Yuan Wen was seen being helped down from the carriage by servants, his brows furrowed and anger written all over his face.

Yuan Wen glared at the leader fiercely, "Shang Jiu, are you planning to openly go against our Yuan family?!"

Shang Jiu's face was gloomy. "Someone, send Miss Yuan back."

These soldiers did not dare to rush up and fight Su Wan to the death, but they dared to attack Yuan Wen, a woman.

Yuan Wen slammed a waist badge into Shang Jiu's face. "Look carefully, this is a badge bestowed by His Majesty himself! It also conveys an oral order: if anyone in the court dares to oppose our Yuan family, they will be dragged away and executed for treason!"

Shang Jiu glanced at the waist badge that fell into his hand. "His Majesty gave it to you because he values the Yuan family and Miss Yuan, but it doesn't mean that the Yuan family has a golden ticket of immunity from death in the Southern Kingdom. His Majesty wants to take action against Su Wan. If you want to stop him, why not ask His Majesty for a way out?"

Yuan Wen certainly knew that this was the safest way at the moment. It would not offend the Southern Country and would allow the Su family to continue living in the Southern Country.

If Yuan Wen left, Shang Jiu would definitely take the opportunity to attack the Su Mansion. Even if she really got the golden medal of immunity from death, Shang Jiu also had Wang Ling first, so that old thing would definitely just be fooling the Yuan family.

"Pa pa" Yuan Wen clapped his hands twice, and hundreds of Yuan family servants came in from outside the crowd.

A human wall was built outside the Su Mansion in an orderly manner.

"Okay, then you can try it out."

Shang Jiu said, "Are you sure you want to protect Su Wan?"

Yuan Wen said, "The Yuan family is here to protect the Southern Kingdom. Does the Southern Kingdom have any shame? Bullying the elderly, the weak, women, and children! If General Su wanted to be an enemy of the Southern Kingdom, he would have done it long ago. Why are you being so aggressive?"

Yuan Wen's words successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of the people outside the crowd.

"My father died in the war between the North and the South! Elder Su Wan! Wasn't my father old and innocent?! You pity them, but who will pity my father who died at the hands of the Northerners?"

Su Wan stepped forward to explain, "When I lead the troops, I will never harm innocent people. When two countries go to war, there are bound to be casualties. That year, I had 300,000 troops under my command, but I wasn't sure I could take care of them all."

"You are actually Su Wan, the commander who led the troops to attack the Southern Kingdom. You should pay with your life!"

"That's right! Now that they see they can't defeat us, they've probably given up resistance and fled to our Southern Country to hide their identities! Today, I'm going to kill their entire family here!"

"Yes! We must let them all die here today to commemorate the innocent people of our Southern Country."

The people were outraged.

Yuan Wen became anxious.

Shang Jiu rode on the horse, looking down at Yuan Wen with the condescending attitude of a victor.

"Miss Yuan is not from our Southern Country, so how can you understand the suffering of the people of the Southern Country?"

A servant walked quickly to Yuan Wen and whispered a few words to her.

Yuan Wen's solemn expression suddenly relaxed. "Everyone, my Yuan family has news. When General Gong led his troops to attack the Northern Kingdom, he was defeated by General Su Chi. However, General Su chose to let him go and even opened the city gates to let the Southern Kingdom's army in. This news is true, and my Yuan family guarantees it with my life!"

"If they have no intention of surrendering, why are they doing this?!"

The surroundings instantly became quiet.

"Yuan family? Which Yuan family?"

"It should be the Yuan family, the number one chamber of commerce in the world. The entire three streets at the other end of Chengzi Street seem to be filled with Yuan family shops."

With a "thump" sound, everyone's attention was drawn over again.

Su Wan dropped the machete and knelt on the ground.

"I, Su Wan, swear here that we will not cause any trouble to you, the elders and fellow villagers, nor will we do anything detrimental to the Southern Country. I hope you, the elders and fellow villagers, can forgive us."

Just as Su was about to step forward, she was stopped by Ji.

Ji shook his head slightly.

Su lowered her voice and looked at Su Wan who was kneeling at the door, her eyes full of worry.

"Why would he do this..."

Ji said, "When the general led his troops to attack the Southern Kingdom, he created Nie. He must be worried about the young lady's safety, so he doesn't want to leave."

Yuan Wen walked up to Su Wan and helped him up.

"General Su, they won't dare rush forward with me here. There's no need to do that. Even if Rourou isn't here, I can still protect you for her."

Su Wan's eyes were bloodshot, and it was not known whether it was because of the cold or because he felt suffocated. It was inevitable that people would be moved by his expression, despite his size.

Yuan Wen turned his head and looked at Shang Jiu, "Withdraw the troops, I will ask His Majesty for instructions."

Shang Jiu remained unmoved.

Yuan Wen repeated, "I told you to withdraw!"

The fact that they had just taken action was enough to prove that Shang Jiu and his gang were no match for Su Wan.

Shang Jiu turned his horse around and said, "Keep an eye on Su Mansion. Let's go."

After they left, the people who were gathered at the gate of Su Mansion also left.

The atmosphere in Su Mansion was solemn.

Yuan Wen sat in the main room, holding a glass of ginger tea and taking a sip.

"This Shang Jiu is the Duke of Zhenguo. After Gong Yuanzhi's leg was crippled by you on the battlefield, the Gong family's power gradually weakened. Nearly half of the military power in the Southern Kingdom is in his hands. He is a favorite of the current emperor. I will send someone to the palace to deliver a letter later. You should stay at home for the next few days."

Su Wan sat on the armchair, rubbing his knees with his hands.

"We...really caused you trouble."

Yuan Wen said, "If Rourou were here, she would definitely be able to beat Shang Jiu to a pulp. But even if she's not here, it doesn't matter. After all, the Southern Kingdom wouldn't dare to offend our Yuan Family."

The sadness between Su's brows never dissipated. "Miss Yuan...Arou, is there any news?"

Yuan Wen said, "No one from the Yuan family has reported anything yet, but I heard that the Gong family is also looking for Rourou, so there should be news soon."

Su Wan frowned, "Gong family? I was the one who crippled Gong Yuanzhi back then, why are they after Arou? Are they going to take revenge on me by attacking Arou? No, Miss Yuan, can you talk to Gong Yuanzhi? Ask me to meet him, I'll kowtow to him, but you absolutely cannot let them attack Arou!"

Su Wan has always been a powerful figure. Who would have had the ability to make him kowtow in the past?

Yuan Wen sighed inwardly, it's true that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head...

What's more, they were looking for Rourou... This made General Su unable to continue to act so recklessly.

Yuan Wen put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Don't you know? The commander who defeated the Northern Kingdom this time was the Major General Gong Yu of the Gong family, and he is the Prince Yu you know."

Su Wan was stunned and stood up suddenly.

"What the hell?"
