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

Southern country.

Gong Yu stood in front of the huge map of the Canglan River Basin, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, making a dull sound.

The search at the foot of Fengtai Cliff made no progress. Su Chi was wasting his time on the cliffs like a madman, and the downstream search team he sent out also sent back disappointing news again and again.

Su Rou seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

But is it really evaporation?

The King of the Desert who showed excessive "concern" about Su Rou's whereabouts in the ruins of the Desert Palace!

He had every motive and ability to conceal the truth and take away the seriously injured Su Rou in such a chaotic situation!

Once this idea took root, it grew wildly.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems.

Andre's questioning of Su Rou's whereabouts, that deliberateness, that "anxiety" that goes beyond the boundaries of allies...

At that time, I just thought he had ulterior motives, but now that I think about it, it was clearly a temptation that only someone who knew the truth would have!

"Prepare the horses! Assemble a team of elite light cavalry!" Gong Yu turned around abruptly, his voice firm and decisive, his eyes burning with a sharp light mixed with hope and anger.

Huang Liao was stunned, "General, are you going to..."

"Desert!" Gong Yu spat out two words in a cold tone, "Go find Andre and ask for him!"

"General, think again!" Huang Liao was shocked. "You have no evidence, and trespassing into the Desert King's Court without permission could spark a dispute between the two countries! And... and this is just speculation..."

"Guess?" Gong Yu sneered, "If the guess is wrong, I'll just apologize to Andre! But if the guess comes true..."

"Then Arou is still alive!"

He suppressed his turbulent emotions and ordered, "Seal the news, especially not letting Jingzhou City get a single whistle on it."

Gong Yuanzhi and Su Wandu are both old.

Su Wan has a strong personality. If he knew that Arou's life or death was unknown, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.

Gong Yuanzhi also cannot be made to worry.

Huang Liao looked at Gong Yu worriedly, "General, what should we do about the young emperor?"

"Have him draft an edict for me to inspect the western border. Let Su Chi stay in the southern kingdom. He just ascended the throne and needs to be accompanied by someone."

"Okay." Huang Liao didn't dare to persuade him anymore and immediately took the order and left.

Gong Yu walked to the window and looked at the western sky.

Desert...

Andre…

If he really took Arou away, he'd better keep her safe, otherwise... the Southern Kingdom's cavalry would definitely not mind flattening the Chiya City in the desert!

A month later, at the edge of the desert.

The wind and sand wear away armor and also wear away people's patience.

Gong Yu, with more than a hundred elite soldiers who were good at desert marching, finally crossed the western desert of the southern country after a month of arduous journey and officially entered the desert.

There was an endless sea of ​​sand before my eyes, and the scorching wind blew the sand onto my face, causing pain.

In stark contrast to the green mountains and clear waters of the south, this place is full of primitive and cruel power.

"General, if we go further, we will reach the area where various tribes in the desert are active. We are too big to be noticed and will be easily discovered," the guide reminded worriedly.

Gong Yu narrowed his eyes at the rolling sand dunes in the distance and said in a deep voice, "Split up into three teams and infiltrate. Leave hidden signs along the way. Target: Chiya City. Do not act rashly without my orders. Prioritize gathering all information about... the Young Madam."

"Yes!"

Even if such an elite southern team entered the country in a disguising and dispersing manner, it would be impossible for them to completely hide from the ubiquitous tribal spies in the desert and the secret sentries set up by Andre.

The news reached Chiya City faster than Gong Yu had expected.

Chiya City, the royal palace training ground.

The air was filled with smoke and dust, and the smell of blood had not yet completely dissipated.

Several bodies dressed in eastern tribal costumes were quickly dragged away, and the bloodstains on the ground were covered by sand.

Su Rou stood in the center of the training ground, the dagger in her hand still dripping with blood.

A few drops of bright red blood splashed on her cheeks, like plum blossoms falling on the snow, dazzling and eerie.

Is the East getting restless?

He couldn't wait to arrange someone to assassinate her.

How dare you?

Dare to act wild in front of her.

All the guards guarding her were so nervous that their hearts jumped into their throats! If anything happened to her, everyone would be buried with her!

But they obviously forgot that although Su Rou was poisoned and could not speak, she had been kept in the city by Andre.

But the one in front of him was Su Wan's famous daughter...

She is not weak, and has the fierce and fierce aura that only a veteran of the battlefield can have!

Although he was obviously lacking in strength due to his injuries, his accuracy and ruthlessness remained undiminished, and he stabbed the traitor to the ground in an instant!

When Andrei rushed over after hearing the news, what he saw was Su Rou standing there with a dagger in her hand and her eyes as cold as ice.

He walked quickly forward, his eyes scanning her body sharply: "Are you hurt?"

Su Rou slowly shook her head, dropped the dagger, took the handkerchief handed to her by Aman, and slowly wiped the blood off her face.

His movements were calm, as if he had just swatted a fly.

Andre looked at her like this and was about to say something else, but a trusted guard came running over and whispered something in his ear.

Andre's face darkened instantly, and his gaze suddenly turned to Su Rou, his eyes becoming extremely deep and unfathomable.

Gong Yu is here?

Sneak into the desert with elite troops?

How could he come?

And it came so quickly?!

Did he already know that Su Rou was here?

Andre's first reaction was to look at Su Rou.

is her?

How did she get the message out?

Impossible! She has been under close surveillance. It's impossible!

What clues were found under Fengtai Cliff?

Or did Gong Yu just come here recklessly out of suspicion?

No matter which possibility it is, Gong Yu's arrival means huge trouble!

Once he confirms that Su Rou is here, the Southern Kingdom will definitely be shocked!

He originally planned to slowly gain control over Su Rou.

And this woman in front of me, who had just killed a traitor and still had blood on her cheek...

Does she know that Gong Yu is here?

Countless thoughts flashed through Andre's mind, but his face remained expressionless.

He waved his hand to let the guards withdraw, then walked up to Su Rou and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "I'm glad I didn't scare you. Captain Su is still as skilled as ever."

老?

She glanced at Andre.

She is only in her early twenties, where is the age?

Su Rou wiped her cheeks, raised her eyes, and looked back at him calmly.

Those eyes were bottomless, like an ancient well and a cold pond. Apart from the coldness that had not completely faded away after the killing, no other emotions could be seen.

She just nodded slightly as a response to Andre's "compliment", then turned around and indicated that she wanted to go back to rest.

Andre looked at her indifferent back as she left, his brows furrowed tightly.
