Chapter 170 Gong Yu’s Jealousy
Andre's expression was full of disbelief and incomprehension.
Su Rou said, "You and I are just partners, understand? If you want to repay me for saving your life, go back to the desert. I might be able to use you then."
Andre said again, "What are your plans? Why can't you tell me now?"
Su Rou felt that he was talking too much. "Not now. Anyway, I saved you. From now on, except for your king, you must obey my orders."
She thought Andre would continue asking questions, but he just lowered his head and responded muffledly.
"it is good."
He agreed so readily that Su Rou didn't know whether he had listened to her or not.
The old woman said, "I made some soup, would you like some?"
Su Rou glanced into the pot and said, "Give me a bowl. We rescued the desert people today, so we need to arrange for them to return to the desert. If they stay in the North, they will be found by the emperor sooner or later."
The old woman said, "Have you arranged everything?"
Su Rou took the bowl from the old woman and said, "Not yet, but I have a plan. Tell your people to be careful to conceal themselves when they are in the Northern Kingdom, and don't let anyone discover their tracks."
They had just robbed the execution ground, and the court would most likely issue a wanted order.
But the old woman and the others had their faces covered, so they shouldn't have been recognized...
Su Rou looked at Andre. The others had no wanted warrants or portraits to hide from, but what about him?
Andre noticed her gaze and turned to look at her. "What?"
Su Rou said, "Do you think you can grow your beard longer?"
After Su Rou finished her soup, she left Andre to the old woman and planned to go back first. As soon as she walked out of the house, she immediately realized something was wrong and turned to tell the old woman in the house.
"Someone followed me here. You and Andre should be careful about where you go and don't get discovered."
The old woman was stunned. "Is it serious?"
Su Rou shook her head. "It's okay. Cover your face. They are coming over. I'll go meet them."
A dozen armored guards with swords came forward and called out to Su Rou.
"What brings you here, sir?"
Su Rou glanced over and said, "Didn't someone rob the execution ground today? When I chased after them, they had already escaped, so I found my friend here to rest."
These guards with swords are handsome in appearance and should be the sons of powerful families in the capital.
They looked inside through the crack in the door behind her.
"Would your Excellency like to ask us to go in and search?"
Su Rou held her waist with one hand, her back pressed against the door frame, and one leg resting on it. "Okay, but you need to explain clearly. What do you mean by this? Do you suspect me of harboring a wanted criminal?"
Several people's faces froze, and they looked at Su Rou in embarrassment. "That's not the case. We were ordered to come here to pursue wanted criminals. We've searched everywhere nearby, but only here is Tudu. They were riding horses when they escaped, and we're riding horses too, so we should be able to catch up..."
Doesn't this mean that you still doubt her?
Su Rou glanced into the room and said, "What should we do? How about I help you complain to the Emperor? You saved the Crown Prince's life earlier, and now the court suspects you of harboring a fugitive."
The old woman came out of the house, her face covered with a veil, her entire face hidden under her hood.
"If they want to search, let them come in and search."
Su Rou put down her legs. "Okay, but let me tell you this: if you don't find anything, I will definitely sue you in court tomorrow."
Su Rou heard someone lower their voice and say, "I came here before. The Crown Prince was poisoned by a villain, and it was Captain Su's friend who helped to remove it. If we rush in to search... not only will we offend General Su, but also the man who can remove the poison..."
Su Rou stood in front of the door with her arms folded, and they quickly made a decision.
"In that case, we are the ones who are rude. Please forgive us, sir."
Su Rou waved her hand, "Of course~ But you came at the right time. I was wondering how to get back. Please send me back to the General's Mansion. I'm a bit slow."
"can."
Su Rou rode a horse by herself and went back with them.
The person at the end of the team suddenly said, "I remembered that I still have some things to deal with. You guys should go back first."
They had just walked a short distance, so how could Su Rou not know what this person wanted to do?
I want to take the opportunity to go back and make a surprise attack.
She sneered, "Okay~"
She ignored it. If she tried to stop them at this time, it wouldn't be because she was worried that they would slander the General's Mansion.
There's an old lady on Andre's side, so it's not a big problem.
The guard returned to the old woman's cabin, quickly dismounted, drew the knife from his waist, and kicked the door open.
The old woman squatting in the house pickling herbs looked up and asked, "What are you doing?"
Without saying a word, the guard lifted the haystack behind the old woman.
But there was nothing inside, only a few scattered grass roots that fell onto the campfire, ignited and burned.
The old woman was furious and pushed him away with both hands. The guard stumbled and hit the wall. "What are you doing? You want to destroy the haystack where I sleep? My daughter followed you and suddenly turned around and came back. Aren't you suspecting my daughter of harboring a fugitive? I'll tell my daughter right now!"
The guard was embarrassed. Seeing that the old woman was really going to go out, he quickly grabbed her clothes and said, "Uh... I'm so abrupt. Please don't tell Master Su..."
The old woman kicked him away and said, "I'm going to sue you! You have to pay for the place where I sleep!!"
In order to appease the old woman's anger, the man took out the silver he had on him and gave it all to the old woman.
When Su Rou returned to the general's mansion, Su Chi was standing at the door.
Su Chi looked at her with a sad look in his eyes, which was very puzzling.
Su Rou handed the horse to the servant and said to him, "Third brother, what's wrong?"
Su Chi lowered his folded arms and said, "The execution ground was robbed today. Where did you go?"
Su Rou said, "I know about this. I was also at the execution ground. I even chased after him to catch him, but I didn't catch him."
Su Chi seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Why are you going to the execution ground?"
Su Rou had a pure expression on her face, trying her best to act natural. "Look at them getting beheaded! The Northern Barbarian King is the culprit who caused my father and second brother to be seriously injured. I must taunt him before he dies."
Su Chi's expression finally relaxed a little, and he glanced at her, "Are you okay?"
Su Rou shook her head, "No."
Su Chi said, "Whose horse did you steal? I asked the people in the mansion, and they said you didn't ride a horse when you went out."
Su Rou said, "It belongs to a Royal Guard, but since they gave it to me, there's no way they can take it back."
She also didn't believe that the Imperial Guards would be so shameless as to come to the General's Mansion to ask for a horse.
Su Rou said, "Third brother, how is Dad?"
Su Chi said, "My appetite seems to be better today. I ate a lot at lunch."
Su Rou said, "Oh, that's fine. I'll go take a look."
When Su Rou went over, she happened to see Su Wan burping after eating.
Su Wan glanced at her and said, "Arou, where have you been today?"
Su Rou said, "I went to see them beheading people. It was quite interesting. Is Dad eating well?"
Su Wan reached out and touched her head. "Good. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight after lying in bed and not being able to walk around for the past few days."
Su Rou said, "How can you be fat? Your injury will be very difficult to recover from. You won't be able to get out of bed for a year or two."
Su Wan patted her head like he was rubbing a puppy, "You, Dad only listens to you."
She exchanged a few words with Su Wan and went back to the yard.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw someone who shouldn't be there.
Gong Yu lay on her bed on his side with his eyes closed, feeling very comfortable.
Su Rou walked forward, squatted beside the bed, and grabbed a strand of Gong Yu's hair. "What are you doing here? My little bed has become your palace."
Gong Yu closed his eyes slightly and asked, "Did you go to the execution ground today?"
Su Rou admitted directly, "Yes, why are you asking me this question?"
Gong Yu suddenly restrained her jaw, squeezing the already thin flesh on her face.
Gong Yu pecked her lightly on the lips, then he propped himself up and sat up, looking down at her condescendingly.
His eyes were dark, filled with a ruthlessness that could burst into violence at any moment. "And you saved the Northern Barbarian King Andrei?"
Su Rou was frightened by him and trembled. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
