Chapter 914: Chapter 912: Selling Out Teammates Happily

Decades ago, he had already seen just how terrifying the wealth of the Xiao family could be.

At that time, Xiao Yu’s father, still a young man, had thrown millions for the woman he loved, making countless women of the Great Cheng Dynasty green with envy!

“Millions…” Su Yingxue imagined the enormity of that fortune in her mind and sighed deeply, “He really did love his madam!”

“Who said that was his madam! She was merely one of his concubines. However, not many years after marrying into the Xiao family, she withered away in depression. Later on, there was never any mention of Xiao Yu’s father doing anything for this concubine again.”

Saint Ruan snorted disdainfully, “Men are all about self-interest, always chasing the new and getting tired of the old.”

“Are you talking about yourself?”

Su Yingxue mercilessly mocked.

Saint Ruan: …

Damn it, I really want to block up that tunnel we came through!

So infuriating!

After Su Yingxue and Saint Ruan exited the tunnel, they found themselves in a gorge, which was part of the Qi army’s campsite. Unclear of the layout, they dared not move recklessly.

Saint Ruan told Su Yingxue to stay put and not move; his lightness skill was good, so he would scout around and then come back for her.

Su Yingxue obediently stayed put and also took the time to check the medicines she had brought with her.

She had brought a lot of medicinal remedies for Su Hao, and she had even made some poison last night, planning to give the Qi army an “addition” to their meal!

God dammit!

They dare to plot against my brother!

They’re courting death!

When Saint Ruan returned, his brows were tightly furrowed with worry, “It’s not easy to move around. There must be at least ten thousand men encamped here. We don’t know which tent your brother is hidden in. Searching one by one would waste too much time and might alert the enemy.”

“But we still have to search!”

Su Yingxue was quite anxious. She worried that with Su Hao’s character, he wouldn’t be threatened by the enemy army, and it was very likely that he would commit suicide to not become a burden to the main force.

If he were to die…

Just thinking about it made Su Yingxue’s heart ache, and there was also Wu Jinyan in Jiang Du City, who had been waiting all along for her brother to return!

Saint Ruan suggested they not take the risk and wait until night to search each tent.

Su Yingxue and he waited together until it got dark when the Qi army’s vigilance had somewhat relaxed, and then the two of them stealthily infiltrated the military camp.

It was Su Yingxue’s first time entering enemy territory; she was extremely cautious, not daring to carelessly scatter any of the poisons she carried.

Not until a shadow flitted before her eyes and she was dragged into a tent.

“Mmm…”

Just as Su Yingxue was about to strike, she was captured by Chu Yihan, who seized her wrist.

“Your… Your Highness.”

Su Yingxue instantly stiffened all over, excessively guilty.

Saint Ruan, behind her, was on tiptoe, ready to flee.

“Get back here!”

Chu Yihan said sternly in a low voice, and Saint Ruan, with the tips of his toes touching the ground, positioned himself behind Su Yingxue.

Both he and Su Yingxue dared not speak, silently enduring the immense pressure emanating from Chu Yihan’s presence.

The air suddenly became thick.

Su Yingxue felt as if her heart were frozen by the coldness emitting from Chu Yihan.

She couldn’t help but reach out and poke Chu Yihan’s arm with her finger, “Your Highness, don’t be angry~ I was just worried about my brother, and Saint Ruan just happened by and offered me a hand.”

Saint Ruan didn’t dare move, thinking, Good brother, didn’t sell me out at the critical moment!

That’s worth it!

But the next thing Su Yingxue said was, “Originally, I was planning to obediently listen to you and grandpa’s words, to be tied up in the military camp and wait, but Saint Ruan insisted on untying my ropes, knocking out your Shadow Guards, and even discovered your secret tunnel to bring me over. I… couldn’t resist him.”

Saint Ruan: ???

“Su Yingxue you son of a…”

“Shut up!”

Chu Yihan’s brow was deeply furrowed, “If you want to be a meal on the enemy’s plate, go ahead and walk out on your own.”
