EBE Chapter 138 Can She Say She Stabbed Her?
Chapter 138 Can She Say She Stabbed Her?
Su Rou said, "This place is not suitable for talking. Can you find a place where there is no one?"
Su Wan called her, "Arou."
Su Rou raised her hand to signal that Su Wan was fine.
Andre nodded, "Obedience is worse than respect."
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne saw Su Rou and Andre walking out together, pointed with his index finger, and whispered in a low voice to the eunuch beside him.
"Follow them and listen carefully to what they say."
The back garden of the palace was empty.
Su Rou stood by the small pond, and just as she stopped, she quickly put the dagger in her hand against Andre's neck.
"Yesterday I told you you were threatening me, but you still refuse to admit it. You sent troops to the border just to marry me? No one would believe that. If I kill you, the Great Desert will definitely use this as an excuse to go to war with our Northern Kingdom. What exactly do you want?"
Andre had every opportunity to dodge, but both times he didn't. He just stood there and let her put the dagger to his neck.
Andrei reached out and grasped the tip of the knife, moving it aside. "Damo only wants to marry you. If the Northern Emperor agrees to grant us the marriage, we can withdraw our troops immediately. General Su is already old, and if we go to war with Damo again, he will definitely not be a match for us."
It seems that the emperor has not agreed to him yet.
However, Andre is so confident and dares to provoke the Northern Kingdom so arrogantly. Could it be that Da Mo has some other trump card?
Su Rou said, "I already said yesterday that I won't marry. Yufang has been helping the poor people in the desert for many years. Are you after the power and wealth of the Yuan family?"
Andre's expression was calm. Facing Su Rou's dagger, he seemed to be indifferent to life and death. "The girl is smart, but besides Yufang, Damo also wants to take the opportunity to win over General Su. So, the girl has to marry him even if she doesn't want to."
Su Rou gritted her teeth. Her third and second brothers could handle a mere 100,000 soldiers, but if Andre stayed in the capital, it would be a big trouble.
The emperor also knew what it would mean if he handed her over, but nothing is absolute.
She couldn't help but start to worry.
Will the emperor hand her over?
Su Rou retracted the dagger and said, "If I can't touch you, I will touch your subordinates. Let's see how the people of the desert will view you when you return to the desert safely!"
She turned to leave, but Andre grabbed her neck from behind.
Andre's eyes widened with anger, "How dare you."
A flash of cold light flashed across Andre's hand that was pinching her neck, and bright red blood dripped from the tip of the knife onto the ground.
She stabbed a big hole in Andre's arm, and blood was flowing out.
Several strands of Su Rou's hair were also cut off.
Her face, which hadn't fully grown yet, had a bit of a pheasant look to it, but she smiled wickedly, "Why don't you dare?"
She lifted her loose hair, stepped forward, avoided the vital parts, and stabbed Andre in the abdomen.
She raised an eyebrow, her expression both cocky and provocative. "Perhaps you should go out and ask around. I, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, was personally appointed by the current Emperor as a seventh-rank Zhiguo Lieutenant. From now on, when you see me, bow respectfully and address me as Captain!"
The white knife went in, the red knife came out. She shook off the blood on the knife and looked at Andre with disgust.
"I didn't kill you outright because I was worried about putting the Emperor in a difficult position. You'd better order a withdrawal. My father may be old, but I have three brave brothers above me. It's just a desert, what's there to be proud of? You just have the advantage of terrain, and you dare to threaten me with war."
"If Damo wants to fight, then let's fight! Back then, our Su family was able to successfully conquer Damo, and we can do the same now!"
When Su Rou passed by the small wooden bridge, she happened to meet the eyes of Chang Nei Shi who was hiding behind the bushes.
There was a layer of coldness in her eyes, like frost, and she cast a sharp look at the eunuch Chang.
Eunuch Chang laughed awkwardly twice, "Haha, Captain Su, what a coincidence."
Su Rou said, "That Northern Barbarian King over there was bitten by a carp that was nearly frozen to death in the pond. Go get the imperial physician to bandage him. Remember to drain his blood, or the wound will be bad if it gets infected."
Eunuch Chang nodded and crawled up from the ground.
Su Rou returned to the main hall and sat down next to Su Wan.
Su Wan glanced down and asked, "Why is there blood on your body? Did the Northern Barbarian King bully you?"
Su Rou smiled and said, "No, I saved him. I will go to his house to ask for his reward someday."
The desert people who were still in the hall heard their conversation.
"Girl, where is our king?"
Can she say that she was stabbed?
Su Rou picked up a grape from the table and put it in her mouth and bit it open. "How would I know?"
The people of the desert are large in stature, speak in a rather hasty manner, and are impatient with anything.
I got angry when I heard Su Rou say that.
"You don't even know what it means?! Wang went out with you just now."
The dancer in the center stopped dancing, and in an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone looked at them.
Su Wan also stood up and stood in front of Su Rou to protect her. "What are you yelling about? If you want to act wild, get out."
The desert man was obviously a little weaker and looked at Su Rou apologetically.
"We didn't mean to do that, please don't be offended, young lady."
After saying this, all the people in the desert bowed in the direction of the emperor and left their seats.
Su Rou's eyes flickered towards the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. These desert people had threatened the emperor, yet the emperor still allowed them to sit here safely. It seemed he was considering whether to send her away...
Su Rou lowered her eyes and looked at the grapes in her hand. "This thing is a bit stale."
Su Wan returned to sit beside her and said, "This was the tribute from the desert last summer. They should have a new tribute in the spring. Ah Rou should eat the new one then."
Su Rou sighed. Andrei ordered the army to approach, and even if he withdrew his troops, there would be no peace.
They will definitely have to fight a war with the desert, but for now the General's Mansion is still on the side of the Northern Kingdom.
If the Su family went to the battlefield for the emperor and successfully conquered the desert, wouldn't it make it more difficult for Gong Yu to conquer the Northern Kingdom?
In her previous life, she had never met Yuan Wen, and Andre had never asked the emperor to marry her.
When she was with Xie Yuan in her previous life, she seemed to be just a woman with a slightly better background.
Xie Yuan didn't like her wielding swords and sticks, nor did he like her carefree nature. She pretended to imitate the behavior of the ladies from the capital.
Although she now has her own edge, it makes her more certain.
This is who she is without Xie Yuan.
The emperor, who had been silent the entire time, chuckled softly. "The person that Da Mo had been pursuing in marriage was my Third Princess. I couldn't bear to let her go, so I used the excuse that she hadn't reached the marriage age yet. Now that she has reached the marriage age, they've suddenly changed their minds and want you to marry them. Su Wan wouldn't be willing to let her go either, but I suddenly think that having the Third Princess marry into your general's mansion and you go on the marriage mission on her behalf is also a feasible solution."
