【135】The end of friendship
Zhao Yueru still pointed directly at Su Xueer, "At this point, you are still pretending to be innocent here, you vicious woman, you can deceive Brother Rui, but you can't deceive me. All of this, you arranged it, right?"
She hurriedly took two steps forward and asked Nangong Che, the Princess of Nanchuan County: "Sir, let us die with an understanding. Please tell us why you are waiting at the patrol crossing?"
Nangong Che sneered, turned to look at Amelia Su, bowed with both hands and said: "I have to thank Madam Su for her cooperation, so I am here..."
Amelia Su widened her eyes and looked at Nangong Che in disbelief: “Dog officer, what did you say? When did I cooperate with you?”
Nangong Che sneered, "Madam Su, you're kidding. You told me yourself that Chi Rui, the traitor, was hiding in Fengxian Village. You also told us that searching the village would not allow us to catch him. You asked us to patrol the river crossing at midnight tonight, guaranteeing that we would catch him. Look, this county has gathered 500 elite soldiers waiting here. As expected, you didn't let this county down."
"You're talking nonsense. I don't even know you."
Nangong Che brushed his sleeves, still smiling with an old face and a huge slippery shoulder, “Madam Su, don’t worry, the reward of a thousand taels promised to you by this county will not be broken.”
After he finished speaking, he winked at his men, and one of them immediately brought a thousand taels of gold and placed it in front of Su Xueer.
Zhao Yueru glared at the side, pointing at Su Xueer and cursing, "You vicious woman, you actually betrayed us. Brother Rui was sincere to you, but you were so cruel! For a thousand taels of gold, you betrayed Brother Rui."
Chi Rui's face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were full of disappointment and anger when he looked at Su Xueer.
His gaze seemed to be able to pierce Amelia Su, making her feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.
"Su Xueer...you are so great..." Chi Rui's voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with deep pain and disbelief.
Su Xueer burst into tears and shook her head desperately. Her hair was scattered on her face, making her look even more miserable. "Sanlang, it's not me. You have to believe me!"
Her voice was tearful, almost pleading.
"The facts are right in front of me, how can I believe you?" Chi Rui turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
His shoulders trembled slightly, revealing the extreme pain and struggle in his heart.
Su Xueer's heart was broken, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
"It really wasn't me..." She explained hoarsely, her voice echoing in the empty ferry.
However, no one was willing to listen to her explanation anymore.
Nangong Che stepped forward and continued: “Okay, Madam Su, there is nothing for you to do, leave the rest to this county, you take the money and leave first, don’t hurt you if we fight later.”
After saying that, he ordered someone to stuff the money into Amelia Su's pocket. Amelia Su did not take it and let the big gold ingots roll off her body and onto the ground piece by piece.
Chi Rui let out a few short, strange laughs from his throat, like the sound of a broken bellows, and then the laughter suddenly rose and exploded wantonly in the night sky.
The laughter was hoarse and crazy, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into endless madness, completely swallowed by dark emotions.
After laughing, he suddenly said, "From today on, I will sever all ties with you!"
His words were like a cold sharp blade, piercing Su Xueer's heart.
