Chapter 1396 The Maid's Great Turn 36

Chapter 1396 The Maid's Great Turn 36

Su Chengye burned the rotten grain while crying. These damn bandits and corrupt officials were the ones who corrupted the imperial court.

When he saw someone carrying food down the mountain, he ran over with joy and asked, "Did you recover the food?"

What was transported down now was only half of what was found before. The man in charge of transporting the grain said with a complicated expression: "Less than half."

Su Chengye: "These damned bandits should be arrested and torn into pieces."

Everyone was also gloomy. After a while, someone came running down the mountain and said excitedly, "Quick, push the empty cart up to load the food."

Everyone looked at him in surprise and asked him if he had found food.

Is there enough food? How long will it last for the soldiers?

"A lot. At least more than what you pushed down before."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

One by one, they pushed the empty carts to load the grain.

After loading up with food, they set off again. They had no danger along the way and finally arrived safely at the front line three days later.

Seeing the food and supplies arriving, the soldiers in the barracks finally felt relieved and regained their former spirit.

Prince Chen's anxious heart finally settled down.

There was only one person who was looking at the newly arrived rice with a heavy heart, and that person was Zhang Ruonan.

She saw Su Yan again. She was riding a horse, standing at the front of the grain escort team. She looked full of energy and vigor, and there was no trace of the way she looked when she was in Zhang's house.

She received warm welcome and praise from everyone along the way.

Everyone was saying that she arrived at the critical moment, and single-handedly turned the tide by driving away the bandits who were stealing food, and also led everyone to recover the first batch of robbed food, so that they could now have a full meal.

I didn't expect that she was not only an excellent doctor but also a martial arts master. She was simply a god-like existence.

Zhang Ruonan was in mixed feelings. She suddenly thought of the time when she wrote a poem but was accused of plagiarism.

She always suspected that there was a fellow villager here, and that this fellow villager had ill intentions towards her.

Now she was sure that this fellow villager was most likely Su Yan.

When was she worn?

Was it because he was driven out of the house and died of illness that he was worn?

Or before being kicked out of the house?

Thinking about their previous interactions, she was shocked to realize that she was not polite at all during the last meal. Could it be that she had already been exposed at that time?

Could it be that the real Su Yan had been beaten to death?

I have to say that Zhang Ruonan was quite daring in her guess, and this one was almost right.

If Su Yan was also a time traveler, and she was skilled in martial arts and medicine, then if she found out that I was here, she would definitely target me, and might even secretly assassinate me.

No, I must not reveal my whereabouts and must not let her recognize me.

Zhang Ruonan, who was already tanned by the wind and sun, now smeared a handful of ash on the ground and applied it on his face, as if that would make him safe.

Little did she know that even if Su Yan knew she was here, he would not cause trouble for her again. After all, the two of them were not life-and-death enemies, and she had already received the punishment she deserved. Although this punishment was not given by her, it also made her very satisfied.

In such an era, maids had no human rights to speak of, but what Su Yan disdained was her hypocritical behavior.

While trying to bind the original body with emotions and saying that they were sisters, she actually looked down on the original owner and watched coldly when the original owner was punished. She never put herself in the original owner's shoes.

Su Yan returned the token to the King of Chen, but the King of Chen did not take it. Instead, he said, "Take it. It may be useful in the future."

"What's the use?"

"If anything happens to me, at least you can still command the troops."

"Pah, pah, pah, how can you speak without any taboos at all?"

Prince Chen laughed and said, "Do you still believe this?"

Su Yan: "Anyway, don't say such unlucky words, be more positive."

Prince Chen: "But I am serious."

Su Yan: "Why, your token also functions as a military token?"

Prince Chen explained: "Although it is not a military token, it is not much different from a military token. At least my soldiers see the token as if they see me."

Su Yan felt that the token was a bit hot. In order to return the token to him, he used his light Kung Fu to escape.

Su Yan: "..."

Taking over this token is undoubtedly like taking over a hot potato.

If something really happened to him, wouldn't I have to help him fight?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Yan felt that it would be best to return it to him as soon as possible.

Two days later, the calm weather became a bit overwhelming, but there was a feeling that a storm was about to come.

"Report, a deserter has been caught."

The Prince was looking at the geomancy map of mountains and rivers when he heard someone report.

"Deserter? Bring him up." Prince Chen found it somewhat surprising. There were no deserters in the past two days when there was no food, but now that there is enough food, there are still deserters. Moreover, how could some of his soldiers dare to desert?

Zhang Ruonan was brought up tied up with a dark face.

Prince Chen glanced over coldly, and Zhang Ruonan shuddered with fear.

"Why run away?"

Zhang Ruonan was scared to death when she saw his intimidating look without even getting angry. She was trembling as she quickly thought of excuses to exonerate herself.

"Say!"

Zhang Ruonan shivered with fear. Prince Chen frowned upon seeing this. When did any of his soldiers become so cowardly and timid?

"I...I...my mother is seriously ill at home. I want to go back to see her."

"What's your name, place of origin, and age?"

"My name is Wang Tiezhu, I'm from Luzhou, I'm 22 years old..."

Upon hearing this, Prince Chen asked the chief clerk beside him to check whether there was such a person.

The chief clerk quickly flipped through the military register and found the corresponding person based on the region, name, and age.

"Have you found it?"

"Found it. It says that Wang Tiezhu's mother died two years ago."

Zhang Ruonan felt as if the sky had fallen when she heard this. It was so horrible that she had even forgotten to ask about the man’s family situation.

Prince Chen glanced over coldly, and Zhang Ruonan trembled, not knowing how to explain.

"Drag him away and subject him to military law."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare my life. Your Highness, please spare my life. Your Highness, I know Su Yan. I really know Su Yan. I have something to say to her. I have something very important to say to her."

"Wait." Prince Chen heard that she knew Su Yan, and just now when she was not disguised, he felt that the other party's voice did not sound like a man's voice.

Prince Chen stood up, walked to Zhang Ruonan, and looked at her appearance carefully.

Then he ordered the soldier beside him: "Go get a basin of water."

When Zhang Ruonan heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she knew she had been exposed.

Without waiting for the soldiers to fetch water, in order to avoid being regarded as a spy, she took the initiative to admit: "Your Majesty, I am the daughter of Zhang Jijiu. I came to the border with my husband Xue Kui. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

"Oh, daughter of Zhang Jijiu, you said you knew Su Yan? Are you sure it's the current miracle doctor Su Yan?"

"Yes, I know her. She used to be my maid. I suspect she is a spy. She didn't know anything before, so why is she so skilled in martial arts and medicine now? Your Majesty, you must investigate her identity carefully."

Zhang Ruonan was desperate and tried every possible means to save herself. She could only drag Su Yan into the water, hoping that if he performed meritorious service, he might be released.

"Go and call the Soviet military doctor."

"Yes."

A soldier quickly called Su Yan over.

As soon as Su Yan entered the main tent, he saw a man kneeling on the ground.

Seeing the cold look on Prince Chen's face, she asked curiously, "My Lord, why did you call me here?"

Prince Chen looked at Zhang Ruonan who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I have a deserter here. She said she knows you. Do you know her?"

Su Yan looked at the person on the ground, and that person also raised his head.

Su Yan recognized her at a glance. Who else could this be but the female lead Zhang Ruonan?
