Chapter 123 Su Rou knows what it means to be a dog that relies on others for power
Su Rou got up from the ground in pain.
A man wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Gong Yu, but he dodged it with a single move.
Gong Yu didn't show it too obviously and went to check on Su Rou's condition. "Are you okay?"
Su Rou waved her hands to show that she was fine, but the pain in her body made her unable to say a word for a while...
Since this bastard cared about her, he should at least help her! The reaction of dodging just now was something that ordinary people couldn't do!
Still pretending!
Keep pretending!
The desert man took his pipe from his belt and took a puff.
"You are quite brave, but the man who follows you is a bit cowardly. You should be of marriageable age now, so follow me from now on. My backyard needs a concubine, not your candied haws."
Su Rou looked up and found Su Chi riding a horse outside the crowd.
Su Chi was wearing a black cloak, and the noble aura around him really gave off a sense of nobility that made him stand out from the crowd.
Why is Third Brother here?
She took a deep breath with all her might and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Third Brother! Someone stole my candied haws! And they hit me!!"
Su Chi's attention was drawn to Su Rou's voice.
The crowd instantly quieted down and made way.
Su Chi stood in front of her. "You ignored my words? What are you and Prince Yu doing here?"
Facing Su Chi's scolding, she felt a little guilty.
Su Rou looked at Su Chi with grievance, "Third brother, I was greedy, so I asked Prince Yu to accompany me here to buy some food. Who knew they would blackmail me? I just bought a candied haws. They didn't have enough electricity, and they wanted to detain me. This man even wanted me to be his concubine."
As she spoke, two tears actually came out of Su Rou's eyes.
She didn't feel wronged, but she was hurt all over by the impact of being thrown out.
Su Chi looked in the direction she said, towards the desert people standing aside.
"Hu Anxu, I didn't realize you were so desperate for women."
This desert man's name is Hu Anxu? Third brother, do you know him?
The name sounds nice, but it doesn't suit the face of this desert man at all.
Hu Anxu came up to Su Chong in a flattering manner, and even knelt down with a thud.
"Su... Young General Su... This girl turned out to be yours. Look at me, none of my subordinates recognized her. So... I'll give her this candied haws as a gift to her."
Su Rou knows what it means to take advantage of others' power.
She hid behind Su Chi and said, "Third brother, they are standing on the street in broad daylight to cheat people. They even sold me a candied haws for a ridiculous price. Teach him a lesson!"
Su Chi smoothed her drooping hair and asked, "Are you hurt from the fall just now?"
Su Rou looked disheveled, her hair was messy and her clothes were askew, but her face was the only thing that remained pure.
She nodded.
Hu Anxu was so scared that he buried his head even lower, fearing that Su Chi would vent his anger on him in the next second.
Su Chi looked down at Hu Anxu and said, "She can't bear your beating today for nothing."
Hu Anxu said, "Then...then I will stand here and tell this girl to fight back. This matter is my fault for not recognizing the great man."
Su Rou said, "I can't beat you, Third Brother, help me beat you."
Hu Anxu wanted to cry but had no tears. "Auntie! If General Su takes action personally, I'll probably only have one breath left!"
Su Rou's eyes were fierce, "I won't, Third Brother, help me beat him."
Gong Yu interjected appropriately, "There's blood coming out of the back of the neck."
There was a blood mark on Su Rou's fair neck, which must have been caused when she bumped into something just now.
Su Rou's fingertips touched it lightly, and she felt a sharp pain. "It seems to be true..."
Su Chi pulled out a clean handkerchief from his bosom and pressed the wound against her. He suddenly asked her, "There are several more bodies not far ahead. Was it you who did this?"
Su Rou nodded. "We paid them, but they still wouldn't let me go. I had no choice but to kill them. Third brother, are you here just for them?"
Su Chi did not respond to her. He pressed the wound for a while to make sure that the bleeding had stopped. Then he folded the handkerchief that contained the bright red blood and put it back.
"If you can't fight, then use a knife. If you get hurt, then hurt until you're satisfied. If you die, then die. I'm here, and no one dares to say you're not."
A dagger slipped from Su Rou's sleeve.
Hu Anxu quickly begged Su Chi for mercy, "Su... General Su! I was wrong! I shouldn't have provoked this woman. Please spare my life."
Su Rou said, "It's no use begging Third Brother. I'll give you two options. One is to stand shirtless under the city wall with a large vat on your head for a night and I'll let you go. The other is to help me do something. After you've done it, I'll naturally not pursue the matter with you."
Hu Anxu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and said firmly, "I'll help you!"
Su Rou smiled and said, "Alright, then go to the city wall and lift the big vat first. When you're done, come find me at Third Brother's place. If I see you slacking off, I'll change my mind."
Gong Yu laughed muffledly.
Su Rou looked over and asked, "What? Are you dissatisfied with my request?"
Gong Yu said, "Why bother asking him to choose? Just ask him to do both."
Su Rou said, "Then you don't understand. My third brother is here, so I'm confident."
Su Chi turned around and said, "Let's go back."
Su Rou followed Su Chi's steps and asked, "Third brother, what are you doing out so early in the morning? And why are you also at the market in that town?"
The deputy general beside Su Chi said, "Miss, please don't ask. The young general had to inspect the towns early in the morning according to the rules. He just heard that someone was causing trouble in the market on the way back, so he went there. Who knew it was you, Miss, who did it..."
At the northern border, people come and go with all kinds of people. If Su Rou doesn't take action, she and Gong Yu will be targeted.
Su Rou blew her eyes and looked at her ankle. The place where Hu Anxu had grabbed it was still aching slightly.
She needs to learn her lesson... She can't just wander around here.
Su Rou asked again, "Who is Hu Anxu? Why is he so afraid of my third brother?"
This time it was Su Chi who spoke. "Hu Anxu was originally from the desert, but later settled down at the border. He relied on his power to become a local thug. The year I took office, the emperor granted me a garrison here and asked me to guard the border. He was on the rise, and I've fought him before, so he's still afraid of me."
"I don't like to meddle in these trivial matters, so I spared his life. He is very useful in matters that I am not suitable for."
Su Rou and Su Chi rode in front.
Su Rou seemed to be thinking about something. So Hu Anxu thought that he was so arrogant and domineering because he had his third brother protecting him.
Su Rou said, "Hu Anxu is just a piece of flesh. I really can't hit him. Third brother is also very powerful."
Su Chi glanced at her and said, "I killed more than a dozen people at the market at the same time. Compared to you, I am far behind."
This is quite sarcastic.
Su Rou seemed to remember something and said, "Third brother, he has ordered his men to cheat people on the street. Is the candied haws clean?"
Su Chi said, "I don't know, I've never eaten it."
She suddenly felt her stomach churning, as if something had gone down her throat, she would be doomed.
They went back not long after.
Hu Anxu came over, took off his clothes and stood under the city wall with a large vat on his head.
My arms were red from the cold.
Su Rou lay on the city wall and treated him as a joke. Evildoers will be punished. She didn't kill him because she really needed Hu Anxu's help to do something.
Hu Anxu's men were busy wiping his sweat, or feeding him water out of fear that Hu Anxu was thirsty or tired.
"Boss, why don't we just forget about it? That little girl is obviously trying to curry favor with someone powerful and powerful, and that means she's trying to curry favor with General Su. Even if we go back directly, since you have such a close relationship with General Su, he definitely won't say anything."
Hu Anxu's face flushed red. "Get lost! You want to trick me, don't you?! Didn't you hear that girl calling General Su? Third brother! Don't you understand who she is? That's Su Rou, the daughter of the current General Su! But why didn't I receive any news that Su Rou had come to the border?"
Hu Anxu's men said, "General Su's daughter? How is that possible? That little girl..."
Su Rou interrupted, "If you call me a bitch again, I'll chop off your mouth and feed it to the dogs."
Only then did the two of them notice Su Rou lying on the city wall.
Hu Anxu smiled embarrassedly, "Aunt, Aunt, when did you come? Do you think this big vat I'm holding is big enough?"
Su Rou narrowed her eyes slightly, picked up a stone and smashed it on Hu Anxu's hand. Hu Anxu didn't hold it firmly, and the big vat he was holding fell to the ground with a crash and broke into pieces.
Su Rou said, "It's big, but it's broken. Shouldn't it be changed into two?"
Hu Anxu was so angry that he wanted to beat his subordinate to death.
It was a bit cold outside, so Su Rou turned around and went into the house.
She lay in the room and could still hear Juanxu's roar.
"You've been arguing for half an hour. Do you know that you've offended her with your mouth? Only General Su could have such a temper! She can't even see the difference. Gouge out your eyeballs, dry them out, and chew them."
hiss……
Su Rou went to have lunch with Su Chi. When walking on the city wall, she saw Hu Anxu still carrying a large vat under the city wall. He had honestly changed the original large vat into two.
Su Rou smiled twice and went back to lying down.
As night fell, the cold outside became more severe. Su Rou asked the soldiers to go down and call Hu Anxu up.
Hu Anxu knelt outside the door. After all, there were differences between men and women, so he did not dare to enter Su Rou's room.
Su Rou leaned against the door frame and said, "I saw your sincerity today, so I asked you to hold on for a short while. Then, the second thing I need is for you to help me go to the Southern Kingdom and burn down the granary where the Southern Kingdom's royal family stores grain."
