"How about we make a deal? Send me some money, and I'll help you kill that bear."

Su Rou's voice came from behind.

Everyone looked at it.

She was wearing a spooky mask and a woman's fox fur cloak, which was a bit incongruous.

When the Eighth Prince's wife first arrived, she looked much more glamorous and beautiful than the others. It seemed that she had always been following the Eighth Prince and was well protected.

"What do you have in mind?! Tell me now! Since you know martial arts, why don't you come over and protect the princes?"

Su Rou ignored the Eighth Prince's wife. "One hundred thousand taels of gold per person, sign a receipt, and give me a piece of something that can prove your identity. Send the gold to the Gong family within three days, and I will save you and help you get rid of that bear. If you want to be a rogue and refuse to pay, that's fine. I can go there and come back, so I have the ability to throw you into the bear cave."

She jumped onto the carriage that was smashed to pieces by the bear's slap.

Independent heroes are among their kind.

"This bear is about to attack us! You should take care of it first! We will then sign a written agreement for you."

Su Rou waved her hand and said, "Goodbye."

She turned around so neatly.

Everyone panicked instantly.

In fact, several princes in the palace had heard about Miss Goudan long before this.

Even if the rumor that she could take Jingzhou City by herself was false, she did eventually become the governor of Jingzhou.

At the very least, last year she competed with Shang Jiu in the training ground and showed amazing arm strength. So many people saw it at the time, how could it be fake?

With the guards blocking the way, they could still delay their escape, but the carriage had been destroyed by the bear. How could they, with only two legs, outrun the four-legged bear?

The guards they brought with them could not withstand the bear's claws and would soon attack them.

They were unsure for a moment, but seeing how relaxed she was, one of the older princes gritted his teeth, took off the jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Su Rou, "Give me the object first. I am the fifth prince Yinqing. Please help me, young lady."

Su Rou took the badge and felt the warm touch in her palm. It was obvious that it was made of high-quality material.

"If the others are unwilling, I can't save them. The money I can get is too little. But I can take His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and run away."

One hundred thousand taels of gold would cost them their lives. They would probably have to sell everything in their house to get the sum.

Another badge was thrown over, "I am the Sixth Prince Yin Xun, please help me, young lady."

One after another, several princes have thrown their badges to Su Rou.

Only the Eighth Prince's wife and the Eighth Prince were left.

The Eighth Prince's wife said, "Your Highness, one hundred thousand taels of gold is no small sum. Think twice. The other princes have already been given badges, so saving one of us wouldn't be a big deal! What's more, you are of noble status. She is just the governor of Jingzhou. If she didn't save the prince from death, it would be a grave crime."

The few remaining guards could not hold on any longer and were broken through by the bear, who roared and rushed towards the Eighth Prince and his wife.

Even from such a distance, Su Rou could smell the blood on the bear.

The other princes scattered, and the older princes who were able to fight decided to draw their weapons and fight the bear to the death.

All the guards around the Eighth Prince had died, and there was no one to stand in front of them to protect them.

The Eighth Prince looked at Su Rou. She was sitting with her legs crossed, looking relaxed and contented, with no intention of making a move.

He took off the badge on his waist and threw it over.

"Please help, young lady."

Su Rou swung out the dagger and stabbed it straight into the bear's eyes.

The pain that the Eighth Prince and his wife had imagined did not come.

Su Rou flashed in front of them and said, "I want to add one more condition. The bear's skin belongs to me."

This thing is very valuable to hunters.

The bear was stabbed in the eye and roared wildly.

Su Rou took the opportunity to grab the bear's chin hair, lifted it up and threw it to the ground.

The dagger's damage was not enough, so Su Rou grabbed a light long sword from the prince and slashed it with it, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

The bear struggled on the ground for a while, and then fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

At once……

So simple? !

Su Rou's body was covered in the bear's blood. She glanced at the princes and said, "Take a pen and paper and write an IOU. Send it to the General's Mansion within three days. If anyone tries to deny it, I'll come to your door with the IOU."

She glanced at the Eighth Prince's wife coldly, ready to take the opportunity to drag the Eighth Prince away.

"If you want to live in a bear cave, that's fine. I'll satisfy you."

Su Rou flashed behind the Eighth Prince's wife and grabbed her by the collar and was about to go find the bear cave.

"I am the consort of the Eighth Prince. As a subject, you are obliged to save us!"

Su Rou was in no mood to waste time talking to the Eighth Prince's wife.

Seeing her seriousness, the Eighth Prince's wife panicked, "Your Highness! Save me!"

The Eighth Prince said, "We will write an IOU, hoping that the young lady will spare her life."

Su Rou stopped walking, but did not let go of the Eighth Prince's wife's hand.

"you write."

"But...but I don't have any paper or pen right now."

Su Rou took out a stack of rice paper from her arms, which she had taken from the Eleventh Prince's carriage.

"Now there is."

"No...no ink."

Su Rou pointed at the bear and said, "There's such a big pool of blood. Let's line up and write one by one."

Even if any of them wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, they would lose the courage immediately after seeing the appearance of the Eighth Prince and his wife.

Only after each of them wrote an IOU did Su Rou let them leave.

When I returned to the general's mansion, Gong Yuanzhi was sleeping on the couch.

He felt someone was looking at him and smelled a foul odor!

He opened his eyes dazedly, and was frightened by the blood-stained figure squatting beside the bed.

"Whose family did you kill again?"

Su Rou held her face and smiled, "I didn't kill anyone, I just killed a bear. I thought about it and realized we were short of money for the rebellion, so I got some money."

She took out a stack of IOUs from her bosom and also pulled out a long string of badges.

Gong Yuanzhi took a closer look, and his pupils trembled...

Gong Yuanzhi was so anxious that he wanted to turn over and get up from the bed.

"You went to rob the prince? You pulled out a bunch of those badges like they were free!"

Su Rou said, "No, they gave it to me voluntarily."

Gong Yuanzhi said, "I don't believe you can even get the prince's waist badge. You said you stole it, which is almost the same."

Su Rou said, "No, they really gave it to me. You will know in a few days."

Gong Yuanzhi stopped Su Rou who was about to leave, and after some hesitation he decided to ask her, "Do we have to build this?"

Su Rou nodded, "Yes, there is no choice. It's too late for you to regret now."

She asked her maid to boil a bucket of water for her to bathe and wash off the blood stains on her body.

After changing into clean clothes, she went out again.

Taking advantage of the night, Su Rou came to the top of the wall of Yuan Mansion.

Someone had cleared the bodies, and the yard looked like it had returned to the state it was when Yuan Wen was still there.

The lights were still on in the main house in the yard.

She had just climbed down the wall and took only two steps when she ran into the patrolling guards.

Su Rou looked at them with wide eyes.

The guards silently shifted their gaze, pretending not to see her, turned a corner, and continued patrolling from behind Su Rou.

Su Rou: “?”

"Rou Rou." Yuan Wen's voice came from the house.

Su Rou said, "How do you know it was me? I didn't say anything."

Yuan Wen opened the door and said, "I figured you'd come to see me these days, so I told the servants in the mansion in advance that if you like to climb over the wall and come in, don't tell anyone if you see me."

Oh.

No wonder the guards acted as if they didn't see her.

Su Rou said, "I came to see you and ask you how the money is going."

Yuan Wen said, "I've reviewed the Yuan family's account books these past few days, and I was thinking about telling you someday. I'm a little embarrassed... Yuan Wenfu has been in charge for more than a year, and the Yuan family is broke, so he transferred all the money to the Southern Kingdom's treasury..."

Su Rou's breathing stagnated. "Is he mentally ill? He transferred all his family's money to that old man?"

Su Rou rolled up her sleeves and said, "Does he have any immediate family? It was too easy for him to die. I kind of want to dig him out and whip his corpse."

Yuan Wen pointed at himself and said, "As for me, the Yuan family can't come up with that much money right now. But if you need it urgently, I can ask someone to sell the house first. Even if it takes a while, it may not be sold..."
