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

"You are such a nice person. You even treated me to some fruit after dinner." Su Rou took a fruit from the fruit plate and took a bite.

The fruit was very juicy and it flowed down the corners of her mouth. The sweet taste was delicious.

Andre said, "I was afraid that if I didn't call you over, you would sneak away in a moment."

Su Rou did plan to go back to the village soon to check, what Andre said was right.

After she was brought here by Andre's men yesterday, she didn't know if the villagers had been looking for her all night...

She said nothing, waiting for Andre to continue.

Andre's eyes were deep, and he also took a fruit out of the fruit plate.

"you……"

"Where are you going next?"

Su Rou ate the flesh of the fruit in a few bites and threw the core aside. "I'm going to check on the village I visited yesterday. The longer you stay here, the more likely you'll be discovered. If you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to leave here quickly."

Oh, by the way, they came here to investigate the matter of that village.

but……

Just investigate. There's no need to bring so many people here. Wouldn't that alert the enemy?

Su Rou is actually not a nosy person, but maybe because she left Su Wan and stayed outside alone, she wanted to find some fun for herself.

Or maybe...

She thought that if her father were here and saw the situation in the village, he would definitely intervene and meddle in other people's affairs.

The kind of person her father is...

It is always said that a true man should serve his country, put life and death before himself, defend his country and protect the people...

She lay down on the ground, her eyes fixed on the empty dome.

Now, she herself doesn't know what she wants...

Andre followed suit and lay down beside her, "If you want to go to the village, I will go with you."

Su Rou looked at him and said, "You want to accompany me? Princess Nineteen will not agree. What's more, you brought so many people with you on this trip. If you are not here, can you still expect Princess Nineteen to be in charge alone?"

Andre said, "I'm doing my job, so she has to agree even if she doesn't agree. Besides, why should I obey her?"

Su Rou jumped up from the ground and said, "Isn't she your future princess? Besides, in your desert, don't you respect status?"

No matter what, the Nineteenth Princess is from a legitimate royal family of the desert. Even if Andre has some objections, he would have to hesitate because of the Nineteenth Princess's identity, right?

Andre said, "She and I just grew up together. We have no other relationship. But who told you that? Don't believe it blindly. She and I... are just friends."

hiss……

Looking at Andre now, she felt like he was a rotten man who had abandoned his wife and children...

Su Rou said, "I don't care about the relationship between you two, but if you must come, then come."

She thought it would be nice to have someone around to help.

Don’t refuse free labor.

Andre looked delighted for a moment. She ate a few of his fruits and when she came out of the tent, she found that everyone in the camp was looking at her.

There was something a little strange in that look.

Su Rou lowered her hands and straightened her clothes. They looked at her as if she and Andre had just done something shameful in there...

Su Rou cleared her throat and walked around the camp as if nothing had happened.

Andre came out later, and the two of them sneaked out from the back of the camp.

The air in the forest was a little stuffy. As we walked, a light drizzle began to fall.

Before Su Rou and Andre reached the village, they hurriedly took shelter from the rain by the river.

Andre helped her pick a lotus leaf as an umbrella, and she held it over her head. "Fortunately, the rain isn't heavy. Let's wait here for a while and leave when the rain stops."

Andre said, "Your Central Plains always has a lot of rain this season."

Su Rou imitated his tone and said, "Your desert never sees rain all year round! It's the place with the greatest water shortage! Once that sandstorm passes, everything will die!"

Andre frowned. "You haven't lived in the desert for a long time, so how can you get used to the climate there?"

Su Rou recalled the last time she and Gong Yu and his group entered the desert to look for her elder brother. She seemed to immediately feel the scene of the sky full of yellow sand on her face, and she narrowed her eyes.

"I've been there, and stayed there for a long time, but we went to Wild Wolf Ridge at that time."

Andre didn't know that Su Rou had gone into the desert to look for Su Chong, so he just thought that she was raised in Wild Wolf Ridge by Dongbu.

I was almost certain that she was also a fake.

This village in Jingzhou just happened to be targeted by the Eastern Region, and coincidentally... the "fake Su Rou" raised by the Eastern Region appeared here again. How could such a coincidence happen in this world...

Rather than...

Try her?

I just hope that the fake Su Rou in the East doesn’t learn all of her tricks.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Su Rou turned her head and glanced at Andre.

This guy...why does he look like he wants to eat someone?

Su Rou said, "What? If you are worried about Princess Nineteen, then you should go back."

A hint of impatience appeared on her face. Andre didn't seem to have so many thoughts before.

She found it very troublesome. The love between men and women was the most difficult relationship to handle in the world.

Su Rou suddenly regretted letting Andre follow her out.

Princess Nineteen didn't even agree, yet she kidnapped the man she loved.

Ugh……

Andre said, "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you. How did you get this scar on your face?"

Su Rou thought: Oh... he started to doubt me.

Su Rou said, "This is not something you should ask."

If Andre wants to doubt her, then let him doubt her.

She was upright and had nothing to fear, so she didn't bother explaining anything to him.

Humph.

The rain hit the water, creating ripples.

The leaves in the woods were crackling as they were struck.

Su Rou stretched her hand outside and said, "It seems to be a little smaller. Let's go."

It's raining today and there are almost no people on the village roads.

Su Rou said, "Yesterday, when I went to the river to drink water, they surrounded me and locked me in a cellar. There were corpses in there. But did the people from the east poison the river?"

This is also one of the reasons why Su Rou came back.

If the river water was poisonous, wouldn't she have been poisoned from the first sip she drank?

Andre said, "No, it's put into the well water that the villagers drink. It's okay for you to drink the river water."

Su Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Something was wrong...

"The well water they drink comes from the same source as the river, right?"

"No, there are two in this village. The well water is completely undrinkable. Some people in this village have died of poisoning after drinking that well water. The Eastern Government may have intended to stir up conflict between the people and the Southern Government officials, but the village chief has been suppressing the matter and has not reported it to the government. So until now, the outside world has no idea that a murder has occurred here."

Su Rou shook her head. "I see. No wonder they reacted like that. These people from the East are quite smart."

Andre said, "The Easterners are ambitious and capable."

Su Rou rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll go grab someone and find out what's going on inside. You stay here..."

Before she could utter a word, she was pulled back by Andre.

"I'll go, you wait here."

Su Rou: “?”

"What are you going to do? At least catch someone smart, not a fool who won't say anything."

It's still drizzling.

It wet Su Rou's cheeks.

The scar on her face should have scabbed off long ago, but Su Rou never picked at it. She thought that if she kept it covered for a while, maybe it would heal.

This also gave her a little psychological comfort.

The rain mixed with sweat soaked the scabs on her face, and the blood scabs began to fall off.

Su Rou looked at the child in front of her, and it was exactly the boy who blocked her by the river yesterday.

She glared at Andre and said, "I told you not to catch a fool, and you insisted on catching a fool for me!"

Andrei's voice was filled with grievance. "It was raining, and there were not many people in the village. He was the only one playing in the corner."
