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

Su Rou quickly tried to make up for the mistake by saying, "Um... no, I was just thinking that Princess Nineteen is here too. Since you brought her here personally, you must also go and send her back in person."

She patted Andre's shoulder. The problems in the village had been solved, and Andre wouldn't be needed for any help in the future, so she thought it would be better for her to be sensible and leave quickly.

Andre looked at her slender wrist and said, "How about I arrange a guard for you? At least he can protect your safety."

After Andre said this, the air suddenly became quiet.

Any random guard she finds might not be as skilled as her. If she gets into trouble, she won't know who will protect whom...

Su Rou smiled and said, "No problem, I'm leaving."

She turned around and walked towards the camp gate, waving to Andre behind her, indicating that he didn't need to see her off.

It rained yesterday and there were some puddles on the path in the woods.

Su Rou jumped and skipped over the puddle.

She is almost twenty years old, but her heart is still like that of a child.

In the darkness, a pair of deep eyes stared at her cheerful figure...

Why did he surround Andre's camp yesterday?

Did she really think she was hiding with Andre without knowing anything?

Su Rou seemed to have noticed something and turned her head to look to the side. It was a gaze that seemed to penetrate her clothes and pierce her bones.

She looked over and disappeared again.

It's strange, why do I feel like someone is watching me?

An illusion? Or did Andre secretly send someone to follow him?

Su Rou blinked, but didn't notice anything, so she continued walking forward.

When she arrived at the village, the village chief from yesterday came out to greet her.

Su Rou said, "You guys were really quick. Even though it was raining yesterday, you were still able to go to Jingzhou to report to the authorities."

The village chief was more polite to her, "We are here according to the girl's wishes. Even if it rains, we have to rush over..."

When Su Rou came in from outside just now, she saw several constables from the yamen at the entrance of the village.

It seems that she was right to let this matter reach Gong Yu.

Su Rou waved her hand. "There's no rush. Since you've already reported the matter to the authorities, just let them handle the rest. I'll be leaving now. If you encounter this kind of thing again, don't be stubborn."

She felt her sleeve being grabbed from behind, and she paused, only to see the village chief grabbing her sleeve.

"We've offended the girl, we just want to survive."

The village chief lowered his voice and said this to her, then shouted loudly, attracting the constables at the village gate.

"Gentlemen, come quickly! She is the traitor! She was accompanied by a deserter! She was the one who poisoned us!"

Su Rou: “?”

"Catch her and take her back for interrogation."

Before she could figure out what was going on, the constables rushed towards her with knives in hand.

Su Rou's eyes flashed, and she kicked several constables away.

Her voice suddenly turned cold, her eyes exuding a distant indifference, and she squinted her eyes and asked the village chief to let her go.

"open."

The village chief was frightened by her expression and immediately let go of her hand. "Miss..."

Su Rou walked towards the constables lying on the ground and said, "I told you, I wasn't the one who poisoned you."

She turned her gaze to the constables on the ground, "Are you under Lord Jiang's jurisdiction? If his men are this bad, he's not much better. It seems he can't be kept here."

They were stunned. "Master Jiang is dead. The one who is in charge of the entire Jingzhou now is a new master appointed by General Gong. Who are you?"

This time, it was Su Rou who was stunned. Lord Jiang was dead? Did Gong Yu arrange for someone new to take over Jingzhou?

How is this possible? Doesn’t Lord Jiang claim to be a follower of the Gong family?

Su Rou looked at them with cold eyes. "I didn't poison them. I did it because you wanted to take me back. Don't bother me anymore. I won't interfere in this matter anymore. Just investigate this matter thoroughly and report it to the Southern Kingdom. Find a way to inform the old emperor of the Southern Kingdom."

She no longer cared about what was happening in the village and left quickly.

Gong Yu looked at her leaving back with a headache.

"General, Miss Su, aren't you meddling in other people's business?"

Gong Yu said, "She's not meddling in other people's business. It's just that the Eastern Desert has already extended its influence to the Su Mansion, so she has to intervene. Perhaps, she also knows that I'm in Jingzhou and is deliberately avoiding me, hoping to use the village chief to inform me of this matter."

The deputy general beside him was puzzled. "Since Miss Su wanted to tell you, why are you hiding?"

Gong Yu didn't respond. He lowered his eyes to glance at the deputy general, then speechlessly turned his gaze to Su Rou who was walking away.

"Send someone to follow her. She doesn't have much money on her. If she gets into the city, send someone to bring her some food."

The deputy general asked, "What about you, General? Aren't you going to protect Miss Su in secret?"

Gong Yu jumped off the tree trunk and landed steadily on the ground. "Jingzhou officials assaulted a weak woman. I need to ask the newly appointed county magistrate about this."

The deputy general didn't dare to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Su Rou.

weak?

The kick he just gave was more powerful than any other kick from the soldiers in their barracks!

Su Rou observed outside Jingzhou City for a while and confirmed that there were no major changes in Jingzhou City during the days she was away. Only then did she dare to enter the city.

As soon as she stepped into the city gate, her eyes were attracted by the two round, black things hanging on the city gate.

It looked like a human skull, which had been weathered for a long time and was so rotten that you couldn't see what it originally looked like.

Moreover, corpse water would drip from above from time to time, causing the people entering and leaving the city to automatically avoid the area under the two heads.

Su Rou noticed the pool of black corpse water on the ground, and her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

She felt her stomach and realized that she had eaten something at Andre's in the morning. She went to the village again and it was afternoon when she arrived in Jingzhou City.

Let’s go find something to eat.

The street was bustling with the shouts of small vendors. Su Rou touched her purse and looked through the threshold of the restaurant at the waiter carrying a whole roast chicken as he walked through the crowd to serve the customers.

Well, she couldn't afford it.

I can only eat some snacks on the street to fill my stomach.

Su Rou ordered a bowl of plain noodles at the corner of the street and glanced at the burnt Hongluan Tower.

Where did the madam and the girls from Hongluanlou go? It seemed like they left after the place burned down.

"Girl, your face is ready."

Two vegetable leaves were floating on a bowl of watery noodle soup, and a little oil was floating on the noodle soup.

Su Rou really couldn't muster any interest when looking at this.

Where can I find gangsters in Jingzhou City?

Su Rou finished all the noodles in one breath. Not feeling full, she ordered another portion.

While eating, she chatted with the stall owner, "Boss, are those two heads at the city gate Lord Jiang and the county magistrate?"

The boss was wiping the table with his head down. Seeing that someone took the initiative to talk to him, he smiled at Su Rou and said, "That's right. A few days ago, it was said that a general led his troops into the city at night. Many people were woken up at the time and thought that fighting was about to break out. Unexpectedly, the general came to support us ordinary people and solved two major troubles for us! The next morning after the general entered the city, the two heads were hanging there."

Su Rou picked up her chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl. "It seems Lord Jiang didn't do anything too extreme after taking office. Why did the general execute him?"

She thought that Sister Qiao could at least become the wife of a governor, and Hongluan Tower would become a stable support for Lord Jiang in the future.

The boss shook the rag in his hand and said, "Hey, you're not from Jingzhou, are you? Lord Jiang has done a lot of things, but he's only been in office for a short time, so others don't know much about it. But I'm here all day, so I know everything! Lord Jiang fell in love with a girl from Hongluan Tower, but she ignored him. Later, Lord Jiang sent people to Hongluan Tower to arrest her, and threatened the girl with the lives of other girls."

"This girl has no choice but to compromise, but she still sticks to her bottom line and refuses to be toyed with by Lord Jiang. Lord Jiang is afraid that she will run away, so he uses the lives of other girls to control this girl. Let me tell you, the other girls in Hongluan Tower have suffered a lot. Every time they come back from Lord Jiang, they have to be covered in wounds. Tsk tsk, it's so heartbreaking to see them."
