Chapter 237 I had to leave at that time
The old emperor sent people to surround the general's mansion, probably because he was afraid that they would really run away.
but……
They really can't help but run...
Su Wan stood up and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, my daughter has nothing to do, so I will go out with her to look for her mother. I will come back naturally when the time comes."
Shen Yao actually wanted to help her.
But as luck would have it, I brought people here and just happened to see them leaving.
Even if he wanted to let them go, he couldn't do it in front of so many people...
Shen Yao frowned, staring at Su Rou, and said calmly, "Su Rou, are you really leaving?"
Su Rou frowned. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Shen Yao came to stop her or to help her.
"I have made it very clear to the old emperor."
A dagger slipped from her sleeve. Although she and Shen Yao had no intention of actually fighting, it was difficult to satisfy everyone.
The people under Shen Yao have to go back and report to the emperor.
Su Rou knew how powerful these guards were, and she believed that these guards also knew it in their hearts.
What's more, she has her father behind her.
Without waiting for her to react, Shen Yao rushed forward first.
Su Rou's breathing stagnated. This bastard actually took the initiative to attack!
Su Wan wanted to step forward to protect her, but the guards who came with Shen Yao saw that Shen Yao had already taken action, so they had no choice but to join in the fight.
Su Wan looked at Su Rou, "Arou, be careful!"
The dagger in Su Rou's hand pressed against the sword in Shen Yao's hand, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Shen Yao was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so he whispered, "Hit me, take General Su away, and leave the rest to me."
Su Rou understood and said that she was not wrong about Shen Yao and that he really wanted to help her.
She dodged Shen Yao's sword without hesitation, raised her hand and stabbed the dagger into Shen Yao's shoulder. She retracted her strength, and the dagger did not penetrate deep.
Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.
She turned and looked at Su Wan, "Father, let's go!"
Shen Yao deliberately let the enemy go, leaving a huge loophole in the encirclement of the Imperial Guards.
The horses they took with them to leave were already prepared outside the gate of the general's mansion.
Su Wan grabbed Ji's hand, carried Ji onto the horse, and Su Rou rode on the horse, leading them out of the capital...
When they arrived at the old woman's thatched hut, Su Rou dismounted from her horse.
She took three or two steps up the stairs and opened the door, but she didn't see Su Chong and Aruo in the room.
Strange, where did Big Brother and Aruo go?
Su Wan helped Ji get off the horse. The servants who ran out with them were considered lucky, while those who didn't might be in a miserable situation.
Su Wan said, "Arou, does your elder brother live in a place like this?"
Su Rou scratched her head and said, "Something happened. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are missing."
Ji looked at her with a worried look on his face, "Miss, where is the third brother?"
Su Rou said, "I have my own plans. I have already arranged for my second and third brothers to go there. They will also go to the South Country to join us when the time comes."
Su Wan looked thoughtful, staring at Su Rou's expression for a long time, and then said, "Rou, can Dad ask, what are your plans?"
Su Rou walked around the old woman's shabby house. Her elder brother and Aruo were not there, and there were no signs of fighting. Where did they go?
Su Rou said, "Father, tell everyone to settle down nearby so as not to alert the enemy. I'll go look for my elder brother and sister-in-law nearby."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chong and Aruo appeared behind her.
Su Wan pointed behind Su Rou and said, "The boss is back."
Su Rou turned her head and saw Aruo carrying Su Chong, who was covered in wounds. The two of them looked like they had been attacked.
Su Rou said, "What's wrong? How did you and my elder brother become like this?"
Aruo handed Su Chong to her, then glanced at Su Wan and others vigilantly.
Su Rou explained, "He is my father, General Su, and the one next to him is our third wife, Ji."
The vigilance in Aruo's eyes finally subsided.
Aruo broke off a small branch and said, "When you were away, someone attacked us. I don't know who it was. To protect me, General Su circled around with me and shook them off."
Su Rou asked, "When did it happen?"
[Last night]
Su Rou's face became serious. Is this place not safe for the old woman?
Su Rou said, "Have you seen an old woman? She is my friend. We agreed to meet here."
Aruo shook his head.
The answer is already obvious.
It’s strange, why hasn’t the old woman come here yet?
Su Rou said, "We just escaped from the clutches of the enemy. We need to adjust for a moment, and then we must leave here as quickly as possible."
Aruo looked a little tired. He looked at Su Wan and Ji Shi, then nodded politely in greeting.
Su Wan looked at Aruo and quietly approached Su Rou, "Is this girl the eldest brother's wife?"
Su Rou leaned over to check the injuries on Su Chong's body. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious and there was no big problem.
She answered Su Wan's question, "Yes, I brought her back with me when I went to the desert to look for my brother. If it weren't for her, my brother would have died of sunburn in the desert."
Aruo heard them talking about herself and looked over. Su Wan noticed Aruo's gaze and scratched the back of his head in a naive manner.
"My dear daughter-in-law, my boss has caused you trouble."
Aruo's cheeks were as red as if blood could drip out, and she shook her head at Su Wan.
Su Wan said, "What does this mean?"
Su Rou said, "She can't speak and is mute. Father, please don't despise her."
Su Wan, with his face blind face, waved his hand, "Dad is just asking, I don't mean anything else, don't let her misunderstand anything."
Su Rou laughed. She knew that her father would definitely like Aruo very much.
"It's okay, she can hear it."
Su Rou took out a key from her bag and handed it to Su Wan. "This is a house I bought in the Southern Kingdom. I sent my mother there a while ago, and Yuan Wen has been helping to take care of her. Dad, take this and go to the Southern Kingdom to find my mother."
Su Wan looked at the key in his hand, looking at her doubtfully, "What are you doing for me?"
Su Rou said, "I'll take you out of the border. I have to come back. I still have some unfinished business."
She wanted to break into the palace to take revenge when Gong Yu led his troops into the capital.
The suffering she endured in her previous life could not be let go just like that.
Su Wan said, "Why do you have to stay here? You insisted that I leave. No, you little girl, what do you want to do here? Tell Dad and he will help you."
Su Rou opened her mouth and was about to say something when she felt Aruo tugging at her sleeve.
Aruo pointed to the ground, [food.]
Su Rou finally realized, "Oh, you haven't eaten since I left, have you?"
Su Rou asked someone to bring some food over and she handed it to Aruo.
Aruo took it and took a bite of the biscuit in her hand. The quiet and well-behaved look made her really want to protect him.
Su Rou looked at Su Wan again, "Besides, Father, my eldest brother fell on his head. This is a problem. You can't ask Ji Shi to protect my eldest brother on the road to the Southern Kingdom alone, right? Now that the eldest lady has been driven out, I don't know where she is. You have to pity my eldest brother."
She persuaded Su Wan to take them away.
Besides, the old woman hasn't come to see her yet at this hour, so she has to go find her first.
