Chapter 199: The Beast King Patrols the Mountain
While Su Rou was half asleep, she felt a cool breeze slowly moving across her face.
She frowned and slept a little uneasily.
When she woke up at dawn, she found that the blood on her body from the fight last night had been cleaned.
She sat up dazedly.
Gong Yu's voice came from beside his ear, "The waiter has brought breakfast over, but judging from your appearance, I guess you don't feel like eating. How about we go for a walk in the street today?"
Su Rou said, "That's fine, but wouldn't it be a waste if we don't eat the food the store sent us?"
Gong Yu said, "Just leave it to the people below to handle."
Su Rou yawned and slowly got off the bed. "Then I'll go wash my face. I also want to try the food here."
After Su Rou finished washing, she combed her hair and made sure that it would be okay for her to go out in this look. She went to call Gong Yu and said, "Let's go. I want to eat some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. We've been living outdoors for a while now, and the food isn't very good."
Gong Yu said, "Buy it."
Su Heng actually has a special taste. Although Su Rou thinks these small requests of hers are easy to satisfy, his sincerity is obvious when he can casually say such words to a woman.
Su Rou teased him, "I am a married woman. You are deliberately trying to seduce me into having an affair with you."
She had bad intentions when she said this, wanting to see Gong Yu's reaction.
She saw Gong Yu frown and said, "If you really think of yourself as a married woman, you wouldn't agree to let me come here. If you really have such feelings for Shen Yao, you wouldn't give me such an opportunity..."
Gong Yu gradually approached, and Su Rou's body hit the door panel.
His figure was enveloped in the light coming through the window lattice, and he looked menacing.
Su Rou turned around and opened the door. "We have to go shopping. We need to be careful not to run out of stock and close the stall."
Gong Yu looked at her figure pushing the door open and his eyes darkened slightly.
The streets are bustling during the day, which is completely different from the ghost town look at night.
Su Rou was eating osmanthus cake, and Gong Yu followed behind to pay.
Just eating an osmanthus cake is not enough. Gong Yu knows that Su Rou can eat it.
He didn't say a word along the way, and all he had in his hand was what Su Rou had left.
Fortunately, Su Rou still had some conscience and turned around to ask him what he wanted to eat.
Gong Yu shook the bundles of various sizes in his hands and said, "I've only eaten a bite of the things you bought. I'll just eat the rest."
Even the older generation of masters or bosses in the capital could hardly be as gentle and considerate to a woman as he was.
Su Rou smacked her lips, nudged his body with her arm, and said jokingly, "You look like you really have feelings for me?"
She saw Gong Yu's face gradually darken and he opened his lips as if he wanted to say something.
But the next second, someone suddenly bumped into Su Rou from behind and she fell into Gong Yu's arms.
This impact didn't pose any threat to her. Rather than saying she fell into Gong Yu's arms, it would be more accurate to say that Gong Yu took the initiative to open his arms and embrace her...
She put her hands on Gong Yu's chest and tried to get up, but he held her head with one hand and forced her to stay in his arms for a while.
The person who accidentally bumped into her looked at her apologetically.
"There are so many people around here, I didn't notice it, how sorry I am."
I don’t know when, but the flow of people on the street suddenly increased.
Su Rou then realized that they had been surrounded by pedestrians without realizing it.
The wide road in the middle was cleared.
She was puzzled and took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand. "What are they doing? Why are they crowding onto the sides of the street instead of walking on it?"
A passerby who heard her say this said, "It's the general's inspection time right now. Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't be from our area, right?"
Su Rou and Gong Yu nodded in unison, and the man continued, "Then let me kindly remind you, when the general's troops come over later, you must not look up and bump into him. Look at what the others do and follow their lead. Since the general took office, many outsiders have died here."
She chewed the osmanthus cake in her mouth expressionlessly. He didn't know that this general was so bloodthirsty.
She couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. After all, she had followed her elder brother for such a long time, but she hadn't even learned a little bit of his style of doing things.
Speaking of which, this morning...
Su Rou noticed that something was wrong with Gong Yu, as if he had deliberately sent her away.
Su Rou looked at him indifferently.
Gong Yu's gaze was directed towards the distance.
There were so many people around that the two of them were squeezed in and couldn't move, so they had no choice but to stay there and wait for the inspection to pass.
Gong Yu said, "The person leading the group should be Chu You."
Su Rou followed his gaze and looked over. A man in armor was riding on a horse. He was so fierce and powerful, like a broken bamboo, and he seemed to be emitting a strong murderous aura...
In an instant, the people around them knelt down in a large group like straw blown by the wind.
In order not to alert the enemy, Su Rou and Gong Yu also knelt down.
She watched the man on horseback from the corner of her eye. This was truly the case of when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king...
It was not his turn as a usurper to be made to kneel down by her.
I'll charge onto the city wall tonight and make him kneel down before me! Humph.
Her eyes might have contained some murderous intent, which quickly made Chu You notice her in the crowd...
Gong Yu lowered his voice and reminded Su Rou, "Don't look at him like that, or you might alert him."
Su Rou slowly withdrew her gaze, "How can I look at him? I'm just an honest citizen!"
Gong Yu said, "I know you're unhappy. If we reveal our temper now, all our efforts will be wasted..."
Su Rou obediently looked away, but she still felt that it was okay.
He lowered his head, and Chu You was not a capable person.
Only after Chu You's people have passed can their people get up from the ground.
To put it bluntly, this inspection is like a country bumpkin inspecting his tiny empire.
Su Rou groaned, "I feel like this bastard looks like he deserves a beating."
Gong Yu said, "No matter how unhappy you are, you have to endure it until night."
Su Rou turned around and walked towards the inn. "I'm not in the mood to go shopping anymore. I'm almost done eating. Let's go back first."
