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

The old woman said, "The new king has no special relationship with the previous one. He is the previous king's son. However, the desert doesn't have a hereditary system like the Central Plains. He won by force."

Su Rou said, "He's so ambitious right after taking office? He's not a very good person..."

The old woman said, "But I heard rumors from people in the tribe that he drugged the previous king and took the position. I think the current king has always been dissatisfied with the previous king's rule..."

Here, the strong are respected, so if the previous king has no ambition, he will be targeted.

The person he was thinking about was his own son...

Su Rou said, "Last time they caught you and chopped off your hand, was it because of this reason?"

The old woman shook her head. "No, they didn't recognize me. The current king of the East has already replaced his confidants. They simply thought this would help them control me..."

The pain of chopping off one's hand is like scraping flesh and cutting out bones.

The old woman looked at Su Rou, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "Girl, are you...still blaming me for helping them kill people with poison?"

Su Rou said, "It's Gong Yu and the others who don't believe you. It has nothing to do with me. You're not a gentleman, so why are you so restrained in your behavior? You're just trying to survive, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Su Rou asked again, "Do those people know how to use poison?"

The old woman shook her head. "No, the man who taught me how to use poison is no longer alive."

"That's it..."

Then they have the old woman on their side, which is an advantage.

Su Rou said, "Get up, it's time to move on. Find a place to camp before dusk and send someone to investigate nearby."

The old woman stood up and said, "Girl...if you need someone to block the knife, just push me out. I will never complain."

Su Rou turned her head and said, "What are you talking about? Let's take my father back. I have to introduce you to my father. You followed me to the desert and saved my father. You also have a share of the credit. They also have a share. You are our guests of honor in the Su Mansion."

The old woman said, "Young lady... We are willing to come with you this time only because we want to follow you, not because we want your favor."

The others also looked over, and there was awe and admiration in their eyes when they looked at Su Rou.

Su Rou smiled kindly, "I'm just an ordinary woman. Why are you following me? We're all friends. Don't put so much pressure on me. You came to help me, so naturally I owe you a favor, and I will naturally repay you."

The old woman looked at Su Rou's back, and her frown relaxed.

Including myself, everyone else followed her to the desert this time really just to follow her.

Although it is not very obvious now, it can be seen that Su Rou has demonstrated obvious leadership along the way.

General Su was able to command an army of 100,000 and fight for the Northern Kingdom for several years. That 100,000 is not a small number, and it is not just ten people.

There are now more than a hundred of them, and each of them has received Su Rou's kindness. They have seen her kill dozens of people single-handedly, and have also seen her treat each of them gently and kindly. They have been conquered by Su Rou.

The people sent by Su Rou brought back news that they saw the desert people's tent bag ten kilometers away.

Su Rou said, "When it's completely dark, we'll go and rob their tents first. If we confirm they're from the east, we'll just kill them. If not, we'll just drive them away."

The light from the bonfire illuminated a small area of the night.

Su Rou sat cross-legged in front of the fire, her cheeks warmed by the sunlight.

"Girl, that boy has been released."

Su Rou yawned, "Follow closely. With him here, we have a hostage. We just need to make sure he doesn't get away."

"Girl, we've already come this far, why do we need to let that little fat guy out?"

Su Rou said, "Mobei is so big, we can't find everything in a short time, so it's better to have a bait to lead the way."

"The desert people aren't very united. I think we can capture a desert person to lead the way for us."

What Su Rou said at night was said on purpose to disturb the little fat boy.

Su Rou said, "Our goal isn't to attack the desert and seize their territory. We just need to find my father and try to avoid fighting with them. I don't want any of you to stay here."

Since she was the one who brought them out, she had to bring them all back without leaving any behind.

Su Rou said, "But I'm still wondering about one thing. After we entered the desert, who were those people who were about to attack us from the sand dunes? Judging from their attire, they didn't seem to be from any particular tribe, and their weapons were also quite good."

"Aren't they the Sand Bandits? We saw how ruthless you were, and we all thought you knew about it."

Su Rou: “…”

It turned out to be a sand bandit...

I should have kept one alive to question him.

The sand bandits roam the desert all year round, and they should know more about what's happening in the east.

"alright."

Su Rou had just finished speaking.

"Girl, that little fat guy has entered a camp."

Su Rou looked over and saw that the person who was sent out to investigate had returned.

Su Rou stood up and patted the dust off her pants. "Let's go. Lead the way."

A dark figure rushed towards Su Rou. Su Rou was about to dodge, but she realized something was wrong and had to face the figure that was rushing towards her.

"Central Plains people? How dare you kidnap Atuo and bring him to the eastern territories to wreak havoc?! Do you know who I am?!"

At some point, they were surrounded.

Leading the group were tall barbarians. The Central Plains people looked much smaller in front of these desert people.

The little fat man came out from behind the barbarian, hugged the barbarian's calf, and pointed at Su Rou, "I'm a coward! But my father is not a coward! My father is the bravest in the desert..."

Su Rou didn't even wait for the fat guy to finish his words before she kicked him and broke his nose.

The bones of people in the desert are so hard... Her knees are numb.

"you……"

The people behind Su Rou also started fighting with the people brought by the barbarian.

Su Rou slid a dagger from her sleeve. "Little Fatty, why are you so surprised? I never told you that you were just a child. But don't forget what you promised me. Your father and mother will not survive."

Su Rou spat, and the smell of blood in her mouth became stronger and stronger.

The barbarian was very strong and could lift four people from the Central Plains with his bare hands.

Su Rou felt a little regretful now.

She should have known earlier that she should have cut the barbarian's neck while they were still unaware of the situation.

Su Rou's gaze fell on the little fat boy at the outermost edge.

"Ato! Run! That woman is targeting you, don't let her catch you."

The little fat man looked at Su Rou who was so close to him and staggered back in fear.

But he didn't stand firmly, and his left foot tripped over his right foot and he fell to the ground.

Su Rou grabbed the fat boy, and the barbarian also came behind Su Rou.

She looked up at the machete raised in the barbarian's hand.

It's over. She can't escape at all with this little fat boy.

With a "dang" sound, Su Rou's pupils reflected the sparks produced by the collision of the machete.

A man in black robe appeared in front of her and blocked the knife for her.

Su Rou: “?”

The man in black robe had his face covered, so his appearance could not be seen.

Who is this person?

There shouldn't be such a person among the people she brought with her.

The man in black robe crushed the barbarian with his strength, and every move he made was aimed at the barbarian's vital points.

The barbarians were beaten back.

Su Rou put her dagger against the fat boy's neck and said, "Surrender."

Unexpectedly, the barbarian showed no reaction when he saw the fat boy being captured. He laughed and said, "I can have another son. It doesn't matter who the son is, but you must die!"

Under the black-robed man's cloak were two strong legs.

She hadn't recognized it just now, but the man in black robe was holding her father's machete?!

But my father is not so thin...

Su Rou didn't care about that. She wiped the fat man's neck and walked towards the man in black robe who was fighting with the barbarians.

With the two of them working together, the barbarian was completely unable to withstand it.

After the fight, Su Rou's men suffered almost no casualties.

The barbarian's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground after being slashed countless times by Su Rou.

The old woman went to look for Su Rou.

Su Rou tilted her head and asked in front of the black-robed man, "Are you the second or third brother?"
