Chapter 210 Su Rui Kneels and Begs for Help

General Tang didn't believe Su Rui at first, but when he heard the details of Tang Yuli's experience from her, his heart began to tremble uncontrollably.

If it was really Liuli who encountered those things, he... couldn't imagine it.

No!

No way!

"Concubine Su is good at making up stories, but how can you prove that your stories are true?" General Tang still looked calm, but there was a slight tremor in his voice.

Su Rui knew that no father would be willing to accept such a thing except those who were heartless and selfish.

But, the facts are the facts.

As for the proof...

"I'm here, so I can't prove it, but this bottle of ointment is something I gave to Miss Tang Er. It's poisonous. She used it to injure the Second Prince, and it left marks on his body that won't disappear within six months."

Of course, this alone is not enough to make General Tang believe her.

"The general can verify this later, but not now. Miss Tang is now speechless, Prince Long has acquiesced to everything, and Shengjing is completely under the control of the Lin family. Even if the general goes back, he won't be able to save Miss Tang."

"There seem to be loopholes in Concubine Su's story. My elder brother will never condone it." Even though General Tang now has many disagreements with Prince Long, he always believes in his elder brother. Even though Lili is only his niece, the Tang family members are all the same.

"He had no choice but to acquiesce because the Second Prince had evidence of his collaborating with Dong Yue. For the sake of the entire Tang family and the lineage of Prince Long's mansion, he had no choice but to bow his head."

"Nonsense!" General Tang was not interested in listening anymore.

The idea that my elder brother is collaborating with the enemy Dong Yue is even more outrageous than the idea that Liu Liu was driven crazy.

Su Rui gritted her teeth and chased after him, but General Tang's legs were longer than hers and he was not injured, so she could not catch up at all and could only shout.

"The general didn't want to face it, so he chose to escape. I have evidence. They used the Rongdi as bait to lure our prince to Changdu Pass and pursued the enemy to Weicheng. Dongyue hid there and has now surrounded Weicheng. To seize power, they intend to wipe out 30,000 Yanzhou troops and contribute three cities to Dongyue. Even if the general doesn't know, I'm sure he's received some information and asked you to take over at any time."

General Tang stopped again.

He did receive orders and a letter from his elder brother, saying that Yun Ji was the first to lead the troops and might not be able to do so even against the Rong and Di peoples, and asked him to be on the alert and take over immediately if Changdu Pass was breached.

But after Yun Ji's good news came one after another, he no longer paid attention to this order.

But if what Su Rui said was true, and Dongyue was besieging Weicheng at this moment, then once Yun Ji and 30,000 Yanzhou troops were killed, he would not be able to defend Changdu Pass after receiving the news, and could only fight the enemy at Lingguan, which meant that he had indeed surrendered the three cities.

And there has indeed been no news from Weicheng during this period. The last good news was more than 20 days ago.

The Rong and Di tribes were already defeated. Even if it was Yun Ji's first time commanding the army, there wouldn't be news of a great victory after more than twenty days.

Just as he trusts his elder brother and understands him.

I'm afraid there's something hidden about this matter.

But he still didn't believe that his elder brother would collude with the enemy Dongyue, or even kill the royal bloodline, 30,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians.

Seeing that General Tang had stopped, Su Rui hurriedly limped after him. He was sweating profusely from the pain, but he didn't care. He said with all his strength, "From here, we can turn to Changdu Pass. It will only take five days if we gallop. General Tang will see it for himself. If what I say is true, please..."

Su Rui endured the pain in her ankle and the tightness in her stomach, kneeling on the uneven ground, looking earnestly at General Tang. "General, please send troops to help us."

General Tang did not expect that Su Rui, who was pregnant, would kneel down with pious eyes and a straight back.

She didn't come for Tang Yuli, but for Yun Ji, traveling through mountains and rivers and risking her life to find a chance.

In a trance, General Tang seemed to see the figure from many years ago.

"If it's fake..."

"If it's false, I will allow the general to cut me into pieces." Su Rui interrupted. Since she had come here, she had already gambled her life.

Looking at her, General Tang was silent for a moment and then asked, "You can't ride a horse, right?"

Hearing that General Tang was willing to go and take a look, Su Rui hurriedly said, "General, don't worry about me. I will follow you."

Seeing Su Rui like this, General Tang didn't say much. He returned to the team, mounted his horse and ordered to change direction.

Su Rui asked Wu Yu to go to the nearest town to buy a cart. Wu Yu also bought a few quilts and tried his best to make the cart softer.

But the cart has no shock absorption after all. Even though the official road is relatively flat, it is still a dirt road after all, and bumps are inevitable when riding.

Su Rui could only hold on to the cart tightly with both hands, half lying down, and using two long pillows to support his stomach, so that Wu Yu and others would not have to worry and could keep up with the Northern Desert Army in front.

Not to mention General Tang, even the soldiers of the Northern Desert Army saw that Su Rui was so tenacious and never slowed down for a moment. They cried out in pain and unconsciously slowed down.

"Are you still strolling around? Why don't you run?" The young general in charge shouted, urging the soldiers behind him to run.

Seeing Su Rui struggling in the back, the young general felt sorry for her, but he also understood the general's intention.

Su Rui endured all this time just to save Yun Ji. She wished everyone could grow wings and fly. If they slowed down, she would only become more anxious.

At this point, even if General Tang no longer wanted to admit it, he believed Su Rui's words even more.

By marching day and night, they shortened the time to reach Changdu Pass by one day.

They arrived at night. The gate of Changdu Pass was tightly closed. Hundreds of people stood on the wall in front of the gate with spears in their hands, looking like they were on a strict defense.

Even at night, General Tang had good eyesight and could tell at a glance that the man wearing the general's armor and giving a speech was one of Prince Long's men.

And this person should not be in Changdu Pass.

His heart sank even more, and he rode forward with his men.

Seeing someone coming, the guard immediately raised his gun and shouted: "Changdu is closed, leave quickly!"

The figures did not retreat immediately, but continued to approach. More and more of them were riding horses and wearing armor.

The garrison immediately reported it, and the general on the city wall cursed, "Who is the blind man who is seeking death?" He turned around and saw General Tang walking into the area illuminated by the brazier.

When he saw that it was General Tang, his face changed immediately. He hurried down from the city wall, stepped forward and stopped the man before closing the gate.

"Why did the general suddenly come to Changdu Pass?" The general thought that it was not yet time and Weicheng was still defending it.

His sharp eagle eyes saw through the panic and confusion in the other's eyes. General Tang said coldly, "I have heard that Prince Yong is winning victory after victory. I have come to see how Prince Yong marches and learn a few things from him."

"Prince Yong... Prince Yong, the prince is not in the interior now, he is stationed in Weicheng."

"Then this general will go to Weicheng from Guanmen." General Tang rode his horse and was about to move forward.

"General!" The general hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop them, saying in a panic, "It's too late. It's not appropriate to march. General, you should rest first. The interior of the pass is not suitable. Let's go to Chang in the rear..."

Before he could finish his words, General Tang's sword had already pierced the opponent's chest.
