Chapter 250: Shangyuan Banquet
Su Feng's carriage continued to move forward, but he felt something was wrong.
"Where are we going?"
"Second Master, we have to go to the Southern Kingdom City. General Su and the others are all there."
Su Feng said, "What I mean is, are we just walking across the territory of the Southern Kingdom so brazenly?"
"Second Master, just follow us without worry. Miss Su has already made all the necessary preparations. You don't need to worry about anything at all."
Su Feng: “…”
It's not that he doesn't believe in his younger sister, it's just...
I was surprised that the unruly and willful little sister had never left the border. Even the number of times she left the capital could be counted. When did she prepare all this?
When the carriage arrived at the Southern Kingdom City, it stopped outside the Su Mansion. When they entered the city, they were actually harassed by the soldiers guarding the city.
However, the Yuan family had already made preparations and sent someone here to pick up Su Feng.
Su Feng stepped onto the stairs and looked at the yard. "Is this it?"
There was disdain in his words.
The one who came out to greet him was the third wife, Ji.
"This courtyard was prepared by the young lady, so please don't despise it. Second Master, you've been exhausted from the journey, could you bear the hardship a little longer? The general and the girl from the Yuan family are waiting for you in the main hall right now."
Su Feng said, "That's exactly what I meant."
He had so many questions he wanted to ask along the way.
It also saves me from not being able to see my father for a while.
Ji walked in front and stepped over the threshold.
"General, the Second Master is here."
Su Wan, who was sitting in the main seat, looked towards the door.
"Let me ask you something first. Were you also brought here by Arou's friend?"
Su Feng said, "Yes."
With a dull thud, Su Wan slammed the table. "You didn't even resist? You just followed Arou's friends over here?!"
Su Feng sat down on a chair beside him with a calm expression, "Dad, are you angry because you think I'm a deserter?"
Su Wan's face instantly darkened. "As a military commander, how could you easily give up defending the city just because of a word from a relative?"
Su Feng smiled and leaned against the armrest of the chair. "Father, have you forgotten? Before the beginning of winter last year, I almost died at the border because of that old emperor of the Northern Kingdom. If it weren't for the third brother, the grass in front of my grave would be three feet high by now."
Su Wan wanted to go up and teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Su Shi and Yuan Wen.
"General Su, please don't be so angry yet. Rourou's friend sent me a message saying that the Second Master resisted, but the Southern Kingdom concentrated all its forces on the side guarded by the Second Master. So the Second Master was temporarily trapped. It was Rourou's friend who appeared in time to save the Second Master and persuaded him to abandon the city and flee."
Su Feng said, "To be honest, I really don't want to fight them. From what they said, I could tell that my younger sister had been planning a rebellion for a long time and thought you knew about it."
Su Wan was suddenly at a loss for words, and his arrogant attitude immediately subsided.
Su Wan muttered, "I also thought...Arou was just worried about her mother. I'll come over to play for two days and then leave..."
them……
It seems like I trusted Su Rou a little too much...
She is my own sister, so it doesn’t matter if I trust her too much. It’s just that the feeling of being in the middle of a situation and being manipulated by my most beloved sister makes me feel very uncomfortable!
But there is no point in saying this now.
Yuan Wen ordered the maid waiting beside him, "You go down first."
The maid closed the door, and a lot of sunlight came in through the window, but it also seemed extremely dark.
Yuan Wen said, "A few days ago, I made a deal with His Majesty of the Southern Kingdom. The Second Master was harassed when he entered the city. It was His Majesty's order. Gong Yuanzhi is already on his way back with his troops. You must be careful in the next few days."
Su Wan said, "The people in the Southern Palace didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
Yuan Wen shook his head. "The conditions I proposed made them dissatisfied, so they resorted to such despicable means to disgust the Yuan family. This is harmless."
"What I actually want to talk about today is...Rou Rou..." Yuan Wen hesitated, her heart suddenly began to panic.
She decided to tell them the news, but she didn't know if it was right...
"General... General, His Majesty the Southern Kingdom has sent someone to invite you into the palace."
A maid stumbled in from outside the door and interrupted Yuan Wen's next words.
The maid stumbled and tripped over the threshold, falling to the ground.
Su Wan was stunned. "What the hell? Inviting me to the palace? I'm not even familiar with him!"
Yuan Wen was also stunned. What on earth was that old fox planning?!
"This……"
Before the maid could get up from the ground, a figure appeared behind her at the door of the main hall.
The shadow was stretched by the sunlight outside and went into the house.
The person who came was Shang Jiu, who led people to besiege their Su Mansion last time.
He glanced coldly at the people in the room, and finally set his sights on Su Wan. "General Su, please come with us. His Majesty has ordered that the Lantern Festival is approaching and that His Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace. I hope General Su can come into the palace to taste the delicacies with us."
Su Wan said, "I won't go."
Shang Jiu said, "It's fine if you don't want to go. From now on, anyone who leaves the gate of Su Mansion will be killed without mercy."
Yuan Wen stood up and asked, "Why did Your Majesty summon General Su to the palace?"
Shang Jiu said, "How would I know? I'm just... doing my job impartially. I hope General Su will make his own decision."
Shang Jiu left after saying this.
Su Feng said, "I'll go. Anyway, he was talking about General Su just now. There are two of them in the room now, and he didn't say which one it was."
Su Wan said, "Little brat, stop causing trouble! Stay in the mansion quietly."
Yuan Wen said, "General Su, if you go into the palace this time, I'm afraid you'll be in great danger. I'll go with you. If they do anything to you, our Yuan family can still..."
Su Wan stretched out his hand and interrupted Yuan Wen's next words.
He said, "I'll go take a look. If they wanted to do anything to me, they would have done it long ago. You've been working hard lately, so there's no need to bother. If...if I can't come back, when you find Ah Rou, please tell Miss Yuan that I'm traveling."
The words were on the tip of Yuan Wen's tongue, but he couldn't say them.
How should she tell them that Rourou was missing and her life or death was uncertain?
What should I do……
The current situation shows that the old fox is unwilling to let the Su family go easily.
Nan Guo doesn't have the courage to attack the Yuan family and her. The Yuan family can only protect themselves at most. If they are involved between Nan Guo and the Su Mansion in order to protect the Su Mansion, they will be in great danger.
Su Feng glanced around the room, "Third Madam, Fourth Madam... Where are the eldest and third? I can't come here alone."
Ji hesitated for a moment, "Master...Master is in the backyard, the third son and the young lady haven't come yet."
Su Feng stood up and stretched his body. "I'm going to see the boss, and then I'm going to go downstairs to rest. When my father goes to the palace, ask me to go with him."
