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

Everyone held their breath and looked in the direction Su Rou was looking.

Su Rou frowned slightly. This sound should be the sound of a beast's four hooves running on the ground.

There was a rustling sound in the grass, and the leaves shook for a while, and then a gray wolf with wounds all over its body suddenly emerged from it.

"Protect the Emperor!"

Everyone hid behind Su Rou in an instant. Although it seemed that they were protecting the emperor, everyone forgot that Su Rou was just a young girl who had just come of age, and they had to let her stand in front of him all by herself.

The wolf fell to the ground, glanced at Su Rou, then staggered to its feet and ran to the other side.

The wolf didn't attack them? !

Su Rou looked in the direction where the wolf came out again. Su Wan came out of the woods with a machete in one hand and a petite woman in the other.

Su Wan was surprised when he saw Su Rou, "A Rou? Why are you here?"

Su Wan put the woman in his arms down.

Su Rou recognized that the woman in her father's arms was the third princess born to the queen.

The third princess threw herself into the emperor's arms. Su Rou didn't listen carefully to what he said.

Su Rou said, "My eldest brother was bitten by a wolf. When I sent him back, I heard about the situation here and was very worried about you and my third brother."

Su Wan's face showed a trace of fatigue. "Ah, the third brother is still in there catching wolves. There are often villagers in this area. It's better to ask the third brother to find them out."

Su Rou noticed that something was wrong with Su Wan. The back of his broad hands were covered with tiny scratches, and even one of the shoulder straps of the armor he was wearing was broken.

Su Rou turned her gaze to the third princess who was greeting the emperor behind her.

What happened to Dad in the forest? With Dad's ability, even a dozen wolves attacking them together would not be a problem.

Su Rou pointed at Su Wan's hand and said, "Dad, what's wrong with your hand? It looks like a scratch."

Before Su Wan could answer, the Third Princess' voice came over, "Ah, this is because a wolf was chasing me just now, and I slipped and rolled down the hillside. General Su was injured while trying to protect me."

Although Su Rou knew that the Third Princess was of high status and would not bother to care about the injury of a minister, she felt that the Third Princess' tone was all too natural.

From just now until now, I haven't even asked about my father.

Su Rou's eyes darkened slightly, "Father, you protect the emperor and return to the palace. I'll go in and look for my third brother."

Su Wan held her back and said, "Arou, don't go. They are just a few wolf cubs. The third brother can handle them. If he can't, he doesn't need to come back to see me. You go back with father."

Su Rou said, "This area has been cleared long ago, and there's basically no wild game. This wolf appeared here, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose. I'm worried about my third brother being alone in there."

Su Wan said, "The terrain inside is a bit complicated. If you are not familiar with it, you will get lost. Escort the emperor back first, and then come back to find the third brother."

Su Rou looked at the emperor behind her.

The third princess held the emperor's arm attentively. The picture of loving father and filial daughter was really disturbing.

Although her family has three military generals, the emperor and the princess clearly do not take the lives of her third brother and father seriously.

Su Rou said, "My injuries have healed, so it's okay. I'll go. Dad will come back to pick me up after escorting the emperor."

Having said this, she had already made up her mind and turned to walk into the woods.

There were no female relatives here, so the emperor must have asked other generals to escort them back in advance.

She sighed. Today's matter was a bit complicated. After finding her third brother, she would have to go back and discuss it with her father again.

The forest is so big, where is the third brother?

It should be wherever there are wolves.

"Third Brother! Arou is in the woods! Go and meet Arou quickly!"

Behind her came Su Wan's lion-like roar, the majestic sound shaking the birds in the forest to fly away.

Su Rou looked back and smiled. Father was worried that he couldn't find his third brother.

After Su Rou walked for a distance, she could only hear the rustling sound of leaves when the wind blew.

Without all the civil and military officials, this place is so quiet that it's a bit scary.

Su Rou seemed to have noticed something. She turned her head and found Su Chi standing under a tree, staring at her with a gloomy expression.

Su Rou smiled and called out to him, "Third brother, have you finished catching wolves?"

Su Chi reached out and tugged at her face, "You're quite responsive. You spotted me right away."

Su Rou said, "I'm not a child anymore."

It seems that the third brother was standing there just now to test her sensitivity.

Su Chi leaned down and said, "I don't know how many wolves they have released. Stay with me."

Su Rou said, "Third brother, didn't you see any suspicious people in the woods?"

She only remembered that at this time in her previous life, the southerners had attempted to assassinate the emperor during today's hunting trip.

She did come along at that time, but it was not like today, with the wolf cubs running around in the woods.

Su Chi's eyes have been fixed on her from the beginning until now.

The breeze was gentle, blowing past the two of them, and Su Rou's hair was gently blown by the wind.

Su Rou noticed Su Chi's gaze and turned to look, "Third brother, what's wrong?"

Su Chi looked away. "Nothing. I just thought it was unwise of you to rush into the woods."

Su Rou felt that Su Chi was a little strange. In the past, if her third brother saw her coming, he would definitely teach her a lesson, but today he just brushed it off verbally.

"Swoosh" a figure flew towards Su Rou and Su Chi from behind.

Su Chi reacted extremely quickly, standing behind Su Rou in advance and cutting the black shadow into two pieces with one knife.

Warm blood splashed on her face. There was no light around. In the dim environment, Su Rou used the moonlight to see the blood on her body and the wolf lying on the ground.

Su Chi retracted the knife and looked at her expressionlessly. He leaned over and rubbed Su Rou's cheek hard with his rough fingertips.

"The dress you wore today is beautiful, but it's dirty. I'll compensate you with a new one tomorrow."

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Su Rou saw that the expression on Su Chi's face was like a devil from hell.

Eerie and scary!

In addition, some blood was sprayed on his face, and Su Rou took a step back in fear.

She had this idea when she was at the border, and now this idea is particularly strong.

It seemed that the third brother was not the same third brother she knew.

Su Chi stared at her, "Are you afraid of me?"

Su Rou swallowed her saliva and said, "No, no, it's just that I feel that Third Brother doesn't seem to be the same person I know."

Su Chi didn't answer her. He turned his head and wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve.

"Follow."

The two figures walked farther and farther away, unaware that an arrow was pointed at Su Rou from behind.

Three men in black jumped down from the tree and stood right in front of the arrow.

"The young general has ordered that we not act rashly against Su Rou!"

Unexpectedly, the next second, the arrow hit the man in black's head directly.

The other two were stunned for a moment, and then a barrage of arrows shot towards the remaining two. They quickly dodged and hid behind the tree trunk...
