Qu Cheng'an wiped the sword in his hand with a handkerchief and glanced at the token in Wenxiang's hand, on which the word "Zhi" was clearly written.
Qu Chengan said coldly: "This incident should not be done by the eldest prince. He is not so bold. He must have been deliberately framed."
Wen Xiang scratched his head as he looked at the token in his hand. These princes were so cunning.
But his Highness is the most powerful! You can't go wrong by following His Highness.
Qu Cheng'an turned around and took a look at the carriage that had been torn into pieces, then turned around and rode on the horse beside him.
He lowered his head and instructed Wenxiang:
"Clean this place up. I'll wait for you at the post station ahead. No need to look for a carriage. Let's get to Ninglan City as soon as possible."
Ninglan City is the city where Sudan Ruo is now.
Wen Xiang bowed and agreed. After Qu Cheng'an turned around and rode away, he began to tell his subordinates to clean up the scene.
The entourage accompanying Qu Cheng'an on this trip was originally arranged by the emperor.
It was said to be an escort, but in fact it was just surveillance, because they were worried that Qu Cheng'an would escape halfway.
However, these people had long been replaced by Qu Cheng'an's own people.
The flowers that Sudan Ruo was waiting for in Ninglan City were almost withering.
He anxiously sent people to guard outside the city gate and report as soon as he got any news.
In the Jingyong Kingdom's palace, the third prince Qu Chengfeng was so angry that he threw a cup when he heard that none of the assassins he sent out had returned.
He grabbed the collar of the staff member beside him and said viciously:
"Didn't you say that the assassins you hired were all top-tier assassins? How come none of them came back?!"
The staff was frightened by Qu Chengan and stammered:
"Your Highness... Your Highness, calm down. He's just an unfavored prince, and now he's been sent to Fengyang Kingdom as a hostage. Even if he's alive, he can't pose any threat to you."
Qu Chengfeng pushed the staff member to the ground, turned his back and said:
"What do you know? My second brother is not as simple as he looks. Everyone thinks he is insignificant and doesn't take him seriously.
If I hadn't seen him stab a eunuch who bullied him to death with his own hands and then destroy the body, no one in the palace would have even discovered it.
I would have thought, like everyone else, that he was just an unloved and insignificant prince."
The staff member was puzzled and asked, "It's just killing a eunuch, why are you so afraid of him?"
Qu Chengfeng sat down and took a sip of tea, "Indeed, the prince was just dealing with a eunuch in the palace.
But he was only six years old at the time. Isn't it worthy of fear that a six-year-old child can have such a mentality?
Besides, I started observing him secretly after that, and surprisingly I couldn't see any flaws in him.
In front of others, he always acts like he's being bullied, but I know he's not the type to be bullied."
The staff then understood why the Third Prince was so determined to kill Qu Cheng'an.
Qu Chengfeng put down the tea in his hand and said to his staff:
"No matter what method we use, we must not let him return alive from Fengyang Country this time!"
After Qu Cheng'an waited for Wen Xiang and his group at the post station, he continued on his way to Ninglan City.
Qu Cheng'an did not intend to expose his strength in Fengyang Kingdom. Exposing his strength and ambition too early might make the Queen of Fengyang Kingdom wary.
Therefore, before they arrived in Ninglan City, Qu Cheng'an arranged for Wenxiang to go to the nearest town and rent a carriage.
The guards outside Ninglan City saw a carriage coming towards them from afar and quickly reported to Sudan Ruo.
After hearing the news, Sudan Ruo immediately jumped out of bed, tidied his clothes, and hurried to the city gate to welcome Qu Cheng'an.
Qu Cheng'an's carriage stopped at the city gate.
Sultan Ruo signaled the soldiers around him to explain the rules to Qu Cheng'an's army.
A soldier stepped forward and tried to approach the carriage, but was stopped by Wenxiang.
The soldier bowed to Wenxiang and said:
"According to the rules, His Royal Highness the Second Prince can only bring one guard with him, and the rest of the people should be sent back to Jingyong Kingdom."
Wen Xiang wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Qu Cheng'an.
"Wenxiang, it's okay."
Wen Xiang lifted the curtain and Qu Cheng'an got out of the carriage.
He was dressed in white and had an outstanding figure. The Sultan felt that he was no less impressive than an immortal.
Sultan Ruo hurried forward to greet him.
"I've long heard of the Second Prince's great name. It's worth waiting here for so long to finally see you!"
Qu Cheng'an saw that Sudanruo had skin as white as snow, a pair of bright and lively eyes, and a slender figure.
He doesn't look like someone who has fought on the battlefield at all.
He originally thought that this powerful female general would not be too beautiful even if she did not look like the black-faced Zhang Fei.
I didn't expect she could be so beautiful.
Qu Cheng'an was stunned for a moment, and only when he saw Su Danruo speaking did he realize that he should pay attention to etiquette.
He said quickly, "I have heard of the General's reputation for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed not an ordinary person."
Sudan didn't expect that this person was quite good at talking.
Just when I was about to say something more to him to improve our relationship, I suddenly thought of the previous world and quickly stopped smiling.
He said coldly, "The Second Prince has traveled a long way, so please go into the city first! Please come in."
After saying that, she turned around and went into the city gate first.
She is so cold and icy that she can't possibly let the male lead fall in love with her, right?
Qu Chengan just felt strange. She had been quite nice just now, why did she suddenly change her attitude?
Could it be that he said something wrong?
Wen Xiang saw that Sudan was just a general, yet she dared to be so disrespectful to Qu Cheng'an. He wanted to go up and argue with her, but was stopped by Qu Cheng'an.
Wen Xiang turned his head away with a look of grievance, and silently turned around to arrange the brothers who came with them.
Qu Cheng'an followed Sultan Ruo into the city, but the city was not littered with corpses as he had imagined.
On the contrary, the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment, and some even greeted the Sultan.
Sultan Ruo greeted all the people who greeted him.
Qu Cheng'an began to feel curious about this female general.
He had never seen a general who could get along so harmoniously with the people of the enemy country.
I can't help but admire General Su.
However, Sudan Ruo was thinking in her mind how to conceive Qu Chengan's child and how to give birth to the child safely.
If there were no empress, now would be the best time. Qu Cheng'an is alone in her hands, and it would be convenient for her to do whatever she wants.
But if she got pregnant now, she would probably be killed by the empress before the child was born after returning to the capital.
Now his reputation has spread.
Due to her own reputation and military achievements, the empress dared not do anything to herself and General Su for the time being.
But the empress did not get rid of herself and General Su this time, and she will definitely find other opportunities in the future.
Now that the Su family has produced two generals, if she becomes pregnant, the empress will definitely be even more wary of having a third general.
Even if she could give birth to the child safely, she would probably be targeted by the empress.
Sudan felt overwhelmed when he thought about all this, and didn't notice Qu Cheng'an's inquiring gaze behind him at all.
