Chapter 241: Revenge is finally taken
A group of servants rushed forward and stood in front of the group of refugees.
Yuan Wen was helped down from the carriage.
She took out a token and the general immediately knelt down when he saw it.
"Miss Yuan."
Yuan Wen said, "From now on, the border gates must not be closed to any refugees coming from the north. This is the decree issued by His Majesty himself. The Yuan family will accept them."
The general pointed at Su Wan and Su Chong and said, "But these two must be detained and handed over to Your Majesty for disposal. Su Wan might be disguising himself as a refugee to lure the enemy deeper into our territory!"
Yuan Wen frowned, "General Qiao disobeyed His Majesty's order. Shoot him."
As soon as the servant raised his stick, the general immediately admitted his defeat, "I admit it! Miss Yuan can take them away if she wants!"
Yuan Wen held his waist, "That's pretty good."
Su Wan gave the coachman a wink, and the coachman drove the carriage and followed Yuan Wen.
Su Wan followed Yuan Wen, "Miss Yuan, what's going on?"
Yuan Wen lifted the curtain inside the carriage and said, "This is a long story. Let's find a place to stay and I'll tell you slowly."
They found an inn at the border. Yuan Wen ordered people to settle the people brought by Su Wan, and stayed in the room alone with Su Wan.
"After Rourou sent my aunt here, I have been taking care of her. She bought a house in the South Country. She had prepared that house a long time ago, and she also told me about it early on this time."
The last time Su Wan saw Yuan Wen was when Su Rou was still in the desert.
He specially asked someone to inform Yuan Wen.
Su Wan said, "No, what I mean is, why does Ah Rou...seem to have known what would happen and made preparations in advance?"
Yuan Wen hesitated for a moment, "I don't know about that... But in the South, the Yuan family has more say than in the North. General Su, you can stay here without worry. The Yuan family will protect you."
The worry on Su Wan's face did not disappear for a long time. He looked at Yuan Wen and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He also had a feeling that the third brother seemed to have known what Arou was going to do.
In the capital of the Northern Kingdom, Su Rou began to hesitate as she looked at the mess in front of her.
No, I just mean that the old woman was a little too cruel.
Shen Yao came alone.
"What happened."
Su Rou went back to the general's mansion. Not only was the mansion locked, but there were also a few corpses in the yard. Judging from their faces, they were people from the desert.
There were no signs of fighting on their bodies, but their skin was all ulcerated and their lips were purple, which showed that they had been poisoned.
It was undoubtedly the old woman who did it.
Su Rou said, "I found the whereabouts of my friend. He must have thought of coming to the General's Mansion to look for me, but he couldn't find me."
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Yao, "Can you contact the people from the Southern Kingdom? Do you know when they will arrive in the Northern Kingdom's capital?"
Shen Yao said, "It will probably take a while."
Su Rou lowered her arms and said, "My friend is missing. If we can't find her in the General's Mansion, then there is only one place left."
The Northern Palace.
She was really worried that something might happen to the old woman, but she could only hold her composure...
In previous years, the New Year in the North was the most lively, but when the people learned that the North and the South were going to go to war and that the general's mansion was locked, the news quickly spread.
The general's mansion is locked. Where has their General Su gone?
Ran.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and there was no one to protect them, so the people also fled.
Su Rou heard from Shen Yao that the emperor got angry during the morning court session.
He said, "I simply don't believe that without Su Wan, without those with the surname Su, there wouldn't be a single general in the court who wouldn't fight for me and the people of the Northern Kingdom!"
Many people in the north fled with their families, and the city suddenly became much quieter during the day.
Su Rou felt that no matter in the previous life or this life, the old emperor and Xie Yuan might not be able to realize one problem.
The Northern Kingdom was originally conquered by her father when he was young and followed the late emperor. The Northern Kingdom would not be able to survive without their Su family.
On New Year's Day, the emperor set off fireworks.
Su Rou and Shen Yao stood on the city wall and watched the iron trees and silver flowers exploding in the sky.
The air was cold, and Shen Yao put his cloak on her.
There were such beautiful fireworks, but Su Rou's face was full of solemnity.
"Are your men ready? Are you sure they won't rebel?"
Shen Yao nodded, "No."
She decided to lead her troops into the palace tonight.
The fireworks exploded in the sky and the night was filled with darkness.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
She took off her cloak, put on her mask, and began to move.
Shen Yao did not dare to reveal Su Rou's whereabouts, so he just dispatched the troops in the palace tonight, just to allow Su Rou to enter and leave the palace freely.
The guard guarding the palace gate was killed by Su Rou with a single sword, and then she led Shen Yao's men in openly.
She said to Shen Yao, "I'm going to find Xie Yuan first. You guys find a place to hide. After I get rid of Xie Yuan, I'll come find you to kill the emperor."
Shen Yao said, "The prince is surrounded by guards. I will go with you."
Su Rou said, "I can handle those weirdos myself."
After saying that, she didn't care what Shen Yao had to say next and walked towards Xie Yuan's bedroom.
Ever since Xie Yuan was deposed by her, he has been staying in the palace and has never shown up in public again. I think it must be because of the poison that the old woman had cast on him before.
After walking for a while, Su Rou met Chang Nei Shi, who was sent by the emperor to deliver rewards to the harem.
She lay on the top of the red wall and waited until they passed before she climbed down.
Xie Yuan...
Looking for Xie Yuan...
The lights in Xie Yuan's bedroom were off, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Why did he go to bed so early?
Su Rou took advantage of the moonlight and entered the courtyard of Xie Yuan's bedroom. She kicked the door open carelessly and fixed her eyes on the bed.
Sure enough, she saw Xie Yuan who was awakened by the noise she deliberately made.
After not seeing him for a while, Su Rou felt that he had become a little more cowardly.
Xie Yuan frowned, his expression seeming to indicate that he was very dissatisfied with her sudden intrusion.
She walked towards Xie Yuan and a dagger slipped from her sleeve.
Xie Yuan's expression then became a little flustered.
Su Rou stepped on his bed and raised the dagger in her hand without any further ado.
Xie Yuan curled up to one side of the bed, making indistinct sounds as if he wanted to call for help.
"Puff" warm blood sprayed on her face.
Su Rou was afraid that he was still alive, so she stabbed him in the heart. After confirming that Xie Yuan was no longer breathing, she stabbed him a dozen more times before stopping.
In her previous life, she was locked up in prison and abused by him and that bitch, and in this life, she finally got her revenge!
readily!
Now there is no need to worry about anything.
