Chapter 148: Another Strong Medicine
There was a strange noise in the carriage, and Gong Yu flew out.
The coachman quickly stopped the carriage and said, "Miss...
Su Rou came out of the carriage and wiped the blood from her lips. "You bastard, you are a hooligan."
Gong Yu was so happy that he didn't want to leave, and seemed to be fine.
If Su Rou hadn't hit him herself just now, she would have doubted whether she hadn't used enough strength at all.
In other words, this guy is pretty tough...
Gong Yu frowned slightly, a hint of anger on his face, "You are so tough, you will never get married."
He didn't get angry, and his tone was more like blaming Su Rou for being so unreasonable.
Su Rou pinched her waist, looking fierce, "You took advantage of me! Don't even think about denying it!"
There was also a trace of blood at the corner of Gong Yu's lips.
What happened in the carriage just now is self-evident...
Gong Yu said, "The mountain roads in this area are difficult to travel on. You were the one who bumped into me when I was so bumpy just now!"
Su Rou was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true...
Su Rou said, "So...what!"
This time, Su Rou's performance was not as vigorous as before.
Gong Yu showed a helpless expression towards her, "Yes, yes, I am a hooligan, so what are you going to do? Arrest me and report me to the police?"
He looked scoundrel and shrugged.
Su Rou gritted her teeth, "You...are not that good! Get in the car! Otherwise, you can walk back by yourself."
Gong Yu teased her, "You're sharing a car with me, aren't you afraid that I'll molest you again?"
Su Rou frowned, "Why do you care about me? You're not that mean, are you?"
Gong Yu laughed out loud, and the carriage continued to move forward. This time, Su Rou sat outside in a huff.
Snowflakes fell from the sky. Su Rou looked up and saw that the coolness in the air was getting stronger.
Su Rou asked Gong Yu, "Aren't we there yet? How long do we have to walk?"
Gong Yu said, "We'll be there once we're out of the woods."
Su Rou was half-believing and half-doubting. As the carriage left the woods, a group of armed men suddenly appeared and stopped them.
This area was relatively empty, and Su Rou could even see the tents where they were stationed.
Vigilance is also good.
As soon as they come out, they can immediately be alert and ready for battle.
Su Rou took out the tiger talisman Gong Yu gave her, "You should recognize this thing, right? We're on the same side, so there's no need to be nervous..."
Gong Yu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and everyone knelt down instantly.
The momentum that was originally there to resist disappeared in an instant.
Su Rou said, "What? This thing is useless, so I only recognize your face?"
Gong Yu said, "It is useful, but my face is more useful than the tiger talisman. You can use this tiger talisman to let them know that I allow them to obey your orders."
Su Rou nodded suddenly, "So that's how it is, but they live here? How do they solve their own food, clothing, housing and transportation?"
Gong Yu said, "If they don't live here, do you want to take them to the city?"
Su Rou smiled suddenly, "Let's do it tomorrow. If they can conquer the Northern Kingdom, then it won't be a problem for them to live in the imperial palace."
In addition to wanting to see them today, Su Rou also issued her first order.
On the way back, Su Rou leaned back in the carriage, closed her eyes and rested, and fell asleep unknowingly.
Su Rou opened her eyes. The carriage had stopped and the light outside was a little dim.
it's dark?
She stood up straight, wearing Gong Yu's cloak.
Gong Yu and the groom had disappeared. She lifted the curtain and looked outside, and found that she was in a camp.
There was a bonfire in the camp, and many people were coming and going.
For a moment, Su Rou felt drowsy.
Where is this?
A man and a woman walked side by side past Su Rou, and Su Rou heard what they were talking about.
"I'm afraid we can't enter the city today...will we be implicated here too?"
"What are you afraid of? The Lord is the savior of the entire desert. Even if the desert really wants to go to war with the Northern Kingdom, we will not be implicated."
The woman held a basin of water in her arms, a worried look on her face. "Ah... I just don't know how long this city will be sealed off. Luckily, the guards at the gate were willing to go in and inform the abbot... Looks like we'll have to stay here for a while."
What?
The city gate is closed?
Su Rou was confused.
"Awake?" Gong Yu's voice came from behind.
Su Rou turned her head and saw Gong Yu walking towards her with a beggar's chicken wrapped in a lotus leaf in his hand.
Su Rou asked, "What's going on? My father and my second and third brothers are all guarding the border, so why would they attack the capital?"
Gong Yu said, "General Su... is missing. I've gathered intelligence that your second brother was stabbed through the body while trying to save your third brother. It's still unknown whether he's out of danger or not. Your third brother is the only one left to resist. The emperor received information about the battle and issued an order that no one can enter or leave the capital from now on to prevent an attack from the desert army. We missed them when we returned, and happened to run into the caravan that Yufang was trying to collect at the end of the year. For your safety, I brought you here."
Su Rou frowned. The general's mansion was now facing internal and external troubles. As a legitimate daughter caught in the middle, the only thing she could do was to go back and take charge of the situation.
Su Rou said, "Call my groom over, and we'll go into the city."
As soon as she said this, everyone else in the camp looked over.
Gong Yu lowered his voice and said, "Although this caravan belongs to Yufang, the person in charge is not the Yuan head you are familiar with. You'd better be careful with your words."
The human heart is unpredictable.
Su Rou knew that after being reminded by Gong Yu, she restrained some of the arrogance on her face.
Su Rou said, "We will leave quietly. The people guarding the city gate will not dare to make things difficult for me."
In fact, what Su Rou said was half right.
The people guarding the city gates were not afraid to make things difficult for her, but they were afraid that she would make things difficult for them in return...
The leader glanced at Su Rou's face, then beckoned them to let them pass.
Su Rou said, "Send me back to the mansion first, and then you go and send His Royal Highness Prince Yu back."
The groom nodded.
When they arrived outside the general's mansion, the coachman watched Su Rou jump off the carriage and stand on the steps.
"Miss... please think positively. The general and the major general are blessed by fate, and nothing will happen to them."
Su Rou waved her hand, "It's not a big problem. The desert won't have the chance to wipe out our family."
Su Rou returned home, changed her clothes directly, and went into the palace late at night.
Su Rou knelt outside the emperor's bedroom. Eunuch Chang came out of the hall and said in a sharp voice, "Captain Su, come in."
Su Rou thanked him politely as she passed by the eunuch Chang.
She heard the eunuch lower his voice and say, "The emperor is not in a good mood because you woke him up. You should be careful with your words."
Su Rou: “…”
laugh.
What does it have to do with her whether the emperor sleeps well or not?
Su Rou entered and bowed, "I came here at night and disturbed the emperor's sweet dream. The emperor should not be angry, right?"
The emperor said with a cold face, "You can speak frankly."
What the emperor meant was that she'd better have something important to do.
Su Rou said, "I am willing to return double the jade ruyi that my mother broke... But after my mother was sent back that day, she wanted to hang herself. Upon inquiry, I learned that the Empress had bribed the jailer to let the eunuch in to molest my mother... If the Empress's behavior is true, it is unbecoming."
As she spoke, she knelt down on her knees.
"I am willing to help the Censorate to find out the truth, collect evidence, and clear my mother's name."
She knelt and bowed her head.
Although her mother didn't receive any posthumous title, she was still the wife of General Su...
Her behavior tonight was tantamount to gambling the lives of everyone in the general's mansion to force the emperor to abdicate.
She simply wanted to give the emperor another strong dose of medicine.
