Chapter 120: What's the difference between this and killing people like animals?!
Su Rou was stunned and stopped what she was doing. She had just called out Gong Yu's name.
Finished!
She really couldn't think too much, because if she did, she would say what was really in her mind.
Wouldn't this reveal that she knew Gong Yu's last name was Gong...
Su Rou said, "No, you heard wrong."
She would never admit it and didn't believe Gong Yuanzhi could do anything else.
Gong Yuanzhi was unyielding and grabbed Su Rou's hand, "I'm sure I heard it right."
Su Rou let go of Gong Yuanzhi's back, "No, you must have heard wrongly! Where did I say anything like that? Who else heard it besides you? We should have evidence when we speak. Besides, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call His Highness Prince Yu "Yu'er"? "
She blinked her innocent eyes as she looked at Gong Yuanzhi, with a hint of threat in her expression.
Gong Yuanzhi said, "Besides you and me, where else is there in this desolate mountain? Find one and show him to me."
Su Rou shrugged, "That's a big deal...and no one else heard it, so who can testify to what you just said?"
Gong Yuanzhi: “…”
When it comes to playing rogue, who can beat her?
Su Rou quickly treated Gong Yuanzhi's injuries and helped him up from the ground.
Now she could only hold Gong Yuanzhi's waist in place to prevent him from getting more painful if he walked too much.
"I'll take you home for now. When you get back, ask a doctor to take a good look at you."
Su Rou supported him and walked slowly towards the Gong family.
Gong Yuanzhi was panting heavily along the way, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. Gong Yuanzhi did not put all his weight on her. Perhaps he also knew that she would not be able to bring him back safely on her own.
She followed Gong Yuanzhi's instructions and didn't go through the main door, but left him at the back door.
Gong Yuanzhi leaned against the door platform and said, "You should go first. Don't let anyone find out where you are. The people in the palace should be everywhere trying to catch you and your people."
There was a chill in the air, and whenever Su Rou spoke, she would exhale a layer of mist.
"If you fail to catch me, how will the Southern Emperor punish you?"
Gong Yuanzhi said, "At most you can hit me. I have thick skin and flesh, so it's no big deal. You should leave quickly."
Gong Yuanzhi waved at her.
Su Rou turned around and glanced at Gong Yuanzhi with some concern.
Never mind, she has been sent here, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Su Rou bowed respectfully and said, "Take care."
She quickly climbed over the eaves and rushed out of the city. Those soldiers should be able to keep an eye on Gong Yu, right?!
Where Su Rou stepped, a layer of water splashed from the soles of her shoes.
She was a little surprised that she couldn't find Gong Yu and the soldiers around the city.
They won't be caught again, right?
"Miss." A voice called Su Rou.
She followed the sound and found a soldier hiding behind a tree trunk.
"You're still here? Where are the others?!"
The joyful expression on Su Rou's face froze for a moment. When she walked closer, she found that the soldier's body was half buried in the ground.
The flesh on his lower body was skinned alive, leaving only the bones exposed.
Su Rou's breathing stagnated. "What happened?! Who did you meet?!"
The soldier looked at her in a daze, "We were ambushed... But His Royal Highness Prince Yu has been escorted back safely. If you speed up, you will definitely catch up."
Su Rou said, "I asked you who you are!"
The soldier shook his head slightly and said, "Girl, please leave quickly. My body has become like this. You don't need to help me get revenge."
Su Rou's brows knitted together, "I'll take you back first."
Su Rou carried the soldier up. This method was extremely cruel. How was it any different from killing people like animals?!
She was terrified just by looking at the two white bones on the soldier's shoulders.
Su Rou ran in the woods with the soldier on her back. After her horse was shot, she could only rely on her legs. Su Rou felt that this was not a solution.
I found out from the nearby village that there was a horse farm belonging to the Southern Kingdom Royal Family.
Su Rou took the soldiers to rob a horse. With the horse, they could move much faster.
As night fell, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the dark clouds.
The Southern Emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his voice filled with indignation, "What a bunch of rubbish! They can't even catch a little girl!"
Several men knelt behind the Southern Emperor, "Your Majesty..."
They are the generals who participated in the encirclement and suppression operation against Su Rou today.
"Gong Yuanzhi is really old, to be injured like that!"
Another flash of lightning appeared outside the window.
A dark shadow appeared silently behind the Southern Emperor, with a sharp blade placed on his neck.
The Southern Emperor was startled and stepped on something liquid.
Su Chi stared at him with a grim expression, and the guard who had been waiting beside him fell to the ground at some point, with blood already flowing to the feet of the Southern Emperor!
"you……"
Su Chi said, "If you break the agreement and attack Su Rou, I will kill a few of your generals. Tell me... should I kill you too?"
The emperor looked over and found that the generals were also beheaded and lying on the ground.
The room was eerily quiet. The only two people left alive were the Southern Emperor and Su Chi.
With a "thump", the Southern Emperor was so frightened that he instantly knelt on the ground.
Now the Southern Kingdom Emperor only wanted to defend himself, "It's... it's my fault. It turns out that the bad girl is Su Rou. I didn't recognize her. I won't dare to do it again next time. Please let me go, General..."
There was a flash of swords and an arm fell to the ground. Su Chi attacked with such ruthlessness that there was not even blood on the blade.
Su Chi stuffed a rag into the Southern Emperor's mouth.
"I'll leave you one right hand to review memorials. Don't forget our agreement. If you dare to provoke Su Rou again, I'll chop off your head."
The Southern Emperor hugged his armless shoulder, his eyes wide open, a scream on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't scream...
Su Rou ran for two whole days without resting on the road.
She didn't dare to rest at all. After finally arriving in the northern country to change borders, she asked and found out that Su Chi was not there. He had already left for the southern country with his men a few days ago.
But they didn’t meet the third brother at all!
Su Rou handed the injured soldiers over to her subordinates for good care.
The cold weather in the south has arrived, and the climate in the northern border has also turned cold.
Su Rou went to check on Gong Yu's condition, and stood on the city gate looking into the distance. The yellow sand in the sky had disappeared, and everything in front of her became clearly visible.
But she became more and more confused about the South.
The hatred that the southerners have for their northern counterparts cannot be easily erased.
Su Rou had a cloak draped behind her. She turned her head and found that Gong Yu had woken up.
"Are you hurt?"
Su Rou frowned and swung her fist to hit Gong Yu in the face. The force was so great that Gong Yu was knocked straight to the ground.
"The soldiers of the Southern Kingdom skinned my people alive, leaving only bones and tendons. You people of the Southern Kingdom are really vicious! When two countries are at war, you don't kill the envoys. From now on, I will definitely be irreconcilable with the Southern Kingdom!" She vented all her anger on Gong Yu.
Gong Yu's expression remained calm as he poked the side of his face that had been hit by her with his tongue.
"What they do has nothing to do with me."
Just eight simple words seemed to represent Gong Yu's position.
Su Rou knew that the soldiers being skinned alive was not ordered by Gong Yu, but did this mean that Gong Yu had no connection at all?!
Gong Yu got up from the ground and said, "After we return to the North, the temperature will get colder and colder. You are standing here in the downwind, so wear something warm and don't catch a cold."
Su Rou turned her back, anger burning in her heart.
