Su Rou glanced sideways at Chang Jiuqing who was leading the troops.

Chang Jiuqing is a new military general who took office after Shen Yao.

The old man really noticed something.

Su Rou lowered her eyes. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and Chang Jiuqing did not see her face.

"When did it become your turn to meddle in my affairs? Your Majesty certainly hasn't explicitly stipulated that ministers at court shouldn't be allowed to go out for fun, has He? Besides, General Gong isn't meddling too much in court affairs these days. Is Your Majesty worried about General Gong's safety, or are you simply concerned about Junior General Gong, who's out fighting the enemy?"

The young general of the Gong family was fighting the enemy outside, while that old man was fighting among his own people.

He really has no shame.

Chang Jiuqing sat on his horse, looking down at Su Rou, and the people around him quickly surrounded them in front of the Gong family's gate.

Yuan Wen had just said there was movement in the palace, but she didn't believe it. Now she believed it. How come that old man sent people over so quickly?

Could it be some news...

Chang Jiuqing snorted coldly, "If you had sent someone else, then His Majesty would naturally have no say in the matter. But you want to send General Gong and Madam Gong away. Is the Governor planning a rebellion? Is he afraid of hurting General Gong and Madam Gong, so he wants to send them away... or is it because the Governor has been involved in the assault and has long been in cahoots with the Gong family?"

The newly appointed Chang Jiuqing was quite eloquent and he imitated Su Rou's words and drew inferences from them.

Su Rou said, "Why should I care? They must leave the city today. If Your Majesty has any objections, I will naturally go to the palace to explain to Your Majesty later."

Chang Jiuqing was not willing to let Su Rou leave just like that.

"If you want to leave, you can. His Majesty has ordered that Gong Yuanzhi and his family will be executed on the spot if they dare to leave the Southern Kingdom!" As he said that, Chang Jiuqing drew out the long sword in his hand.

The sharp blade gleamed coldly in the light.

Su Rou narrowed her eyes dangerously. Was he threatening her?

There was a noise coming from Yuan Wen's carriage.

Su Rou heard a loud noise and someone got off the carriage, and Yuan Wen wanted to stop them.

"wait wait wait!"

Shang Jiu opened the curtain, stood on the carriage with his hands on his waist, and said, "How dare you stop my carriage? If you don't want your head to fall off, get out of here! My wife wants to discuss business, and she has a good relationship with Miss Goudan, so she thought she could have a companion on the road. What's the big deal? If your Majesty thinks it's not okay, I will stay and go with Miss Goudan to explain to your Majesty."

Yuan Wen looked panicked.

When Chang Jiuqing saw Yuan Wen sitting in the carriage, his face became even gloomier.

"The head of the Yuan family is here too. Lord Shang, are you planning to disobey my orders?"

Shang Jiu rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm going to beat you to death here today, and His Majesty won't say a word that it's not mine, believe it or not."

Chang Jiuqing's position is low, and the only thing he can use is the old man's order.

If a fight really comes to a head, they will have the advantage.

Yuan Wen was threatened by Chang Jiuqing and subconsciously curled up in the carriage and dared not go out.

She was afraid of being seen...

But Rourou and Shangjiu are still outside.

Su Rou drew out the sword of the general's attendant and stabbed through the body of Chang Jiuqing's attendant with just one blow.

Everyone, including Shang Jiu, was stunned.

Shang Jiu was a little anxious. He didn't expect Su Rou to suddenly take action.

"You just took action?"

There was blood splattered on Su Rou's mask.

She said calmly, "Now that we've come to this, if we don't take action in advance, do we have to wait for the other party to make a move?"

What you said... makes sense!

In an instant, Chang Jiuqing's people turned against each other.

"Li Goudan!"

Su Rou glanced sideways at Yuan Wen in the carriage, "Take the people and go. If you encounter any checkpoints, just rush through them. Nothing will happen. When you get outside the city, the people from the Su Mansion will meet you."

Yuan Wen was worried about her, but he could do nothing...

"Be careful! Shang Jiu! Come back, let's go!"
