Without physical contact, Xu Qingzhu's heart couldn't help but feel a little empty, but he also knew that now was not the time for him to express his longing.

So he forced himself to take back his reason, and maintained his usual calmness and indifference.

“…… Good. ”

He didn't ask Yan Ruo why he suddenly came to such a conclusion, anyway, if she said so, he would respond.

They followed the direction of General Su's pursuit all the way, but the person ran far away, and it would waste a lot of time to judge the direction according to the traces, and the speed would be greatly limited.

And finally—

All they found was General Su's body.

Yes, General Su is out of breath.

She was still holding a broken knife in her hand, covered in blood and wounds, and the expression on her face was a little hideous, obviously trembling with others before she died.

When Yan Ruo saw General Su's body, his whole body froze in place.

In this world, women tend to be rough and not so careful. Anyway, in Su Yingxuan's memory, in addition to discussing the matter of leading troops to fight, the mother and daughter basically didn't have a good chat, and they didn't seem to have much communication at ordinary times.

But this does not mean that the relationship between these two people is not good.

At least, at the moment when he saw General Su's corpse, Yan Ruo's eyes suddenly condensed a large area of gloom.

Her back was still erect, but her breathing had been out of rhythm.

The vision gradually blurred, and then it directly transformed into a blood-colored phantom, and such a gorgeous color couldn't help but give people a shocking feeling.

Xu Qingzhu didn't expect Yan Ruo's feelings to be so keen, and he realized that something was wrong in that situation, but it really happened.

Those who were alive a few hours ago are now lying on the ground lifeless.

Xu Qingzhu is an indifferent person, under normal circumstances, he will not have too many emotional fluctuations when he sees the life and death of others.

But when he looked at Yan Ruo's lowered eyes, he looked like he was going to cry or not, and he felt as if his heart was being clenched by something.

He's not good at comforting.

At this time, he wanted to be comforted, but he didn't know what to say.

He simply didn't say anything, just stood beside Yan Ruo, and wanted to tell her with his own actions - I'm here, don't be sad.

Yan Ruo stood in place for a long time, and was silent for a long time.

When she came back to her senses, she turned her head to meet Xu Qingzhu's slightly worried eyes.

"I'm fine." Yan Ruoxiang smiled at Xu Qingzhu, but for the first time found that it was so difficult to squeeze out a smile, "I have been fighting with my mother for many years, and I have long been accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and I have long known that such a day will come." I ......"

"Alright, don't laugh if you don't want to." Xu Qingzhu didn't care if anyone else would see his movements, so he directly grabbed Yan Ruo's hand, looked at her eyes seriously and said, "You don't have to pretend your emotions in front of me, you can cry or laugh, you don't have to be so strong in front of me." ”

The corners of Yan Ruo's lips that were trying her best to raise were suppressed uncontrollably.

She subconsciously shook Xu Qingzhu's hand hard, as if she was venting her emotions in this way.

"It was a premeditated killing." Yan Ruo's voice was slightly tinged with a hint of hoarseness, "The person who designed this must have an extreme understanding of my mother's character. I knew that assassination in the streets of the capital would arouse my mother's anger, and that my mother would immediately chase after me alone in such an unexpected situation. They designed to leave my mother alone and did this ......"

With General Su's ability, if it was a one-on-one approach, he would definitely not end up with a tragic death.

And judging from the traces of the current scene, there were definitely a lot of people present at that time.

Therefore, it is also appropriate for Yan Ruo to call all this "siege".

Feeling Yan Ruo's palm tightening more and more, Xu Qingzhu was pinched a little painfully, but he didn't feel anything, and there were not too many emotional changes on his face.

Instead, he comforted Yan Ruo and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to find out the assassin, and I will definitely not let General Su die so unexplained!" ”

"I know who the murderer is!" Yan Ruo suddenly raised his eyes and said to Xu Qingzhu.

Xu Qingzhu was a little surprised, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the people who celebrate summer." Yan Ruo almost squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "A few years ago, they designed to lead my mother into a trap, and they used similar methods. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but close her eyes again.

also blamed her, she didn't notice something was wrong at the first time, and stopped her mother.

Xu Qingzhu seemed to know that she was blaming herself, and couldn't help but whisper in her ear: "It's not your fault. ”

"Qingxia has the news that he wants to negotiate peace this time, but he did such a thing behind his back, just like them, and he still wants to talk about peace?" Yan Ruo sneered, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little colder.

……

On the day of the celebration banquet, Qingxia, who was beaten and retreated, sent a hidden stake buried in Xiyan to attack General Su.

Obviously, this is their means of revenge.

They thought that if their people hid deeply, they would not find out about it.

When the time comes, the peace talks will continue, which will allow them to obtain a temporary peace.

At the same time, they can also show a vicious anger that was defeated and retreated by Yan Ruo's troops.

But they never thought that they were burned.

It's all like this, and you still want to talk about peace? I'm thinking about fart!

Xu Qingzhu and Yan Ruo had cooperated on a case before, and they cooperated perfectly.

Now, they are working together again, naturally they will not be fooled casually, and it is actually easy to find out the relationship between the matter and Qingxia.

Once the crime of murdering the general of our dynasty is established, according to the good-faced nature of the current empress, it is natural that the country next to her will not be so arrogant - the peace talks failed, and the country of Qingxia was almost directly destroyed by Yan Ruo's soldiers.

Later, the monarch of Qingxia sent the prince to make peace, and ceded the land to compensate, and gave up a lot of benefits, so that Xiyan stopped.

In fact, Qingxia is also very aggrieved now.

They just wanted to take a breath, but they didn't expect it to be almost the last breath before they died.

Don't ask them what the monarch thinks now, if you ask, you regret it.

I knew that I would rather be suffocated to death by that evil qi than dare to touch the people around Xiyan Su Yingxuan's evil god.

……

After the death of General Su, the empress remembered the great achievements of the Su family for generations, so she directly named Yan Ruo as the general who protects the country.

This official rank can be regarded as rising "oh".

But these didn't mean anything to Yan Ruo, and she didn't feel happy about it at all.

The only thing that comforted her was that she almost beat Qingxia to the end of the country, which can be regarded as some comfort for her mother's spirit in the sky, right?
