Chapter 285 Are You Sure I'm Good at Fighting?
The man responded to Shen Ruolan respectfully, "Madam, please follow me."
Soon, the man brought Shen Ruolan to a private room in a restaurant and reported to his master: "Master, the lady is here."
General Su said from the inner room, "Come in."
The man got permission, opened the door, and gestured to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, please come in."
Shen Ruolan nodded to him and carried the child into the private room.
In the private room, a middle-aged man with an upright figure and a majestic aura was standing with his back to the door. When he heard Shen Ruolan coming in, he slowly turned around and said to Shen Ruolan, "I apologize for disturbing you, Madam!"
Shen Ruolan bowed to General Su and said, "General Su, you are too kind."
After saying that, she looked at General Su and asked, "General Su, why are you so anxious to find Ruolan?"
General Su pointed to a chair nearby and said to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, please take a seat first. I will explain this to you in detail."
Shen Ruolan nodded to General Shen and sat down on the chair. The two children looked at General Su with a serious face and sat obediently in their mother's arms, not crying or making a fuss.
General Su looked at the two well-behaved children and asked Shen Ruolan, "These two lovely children must be the prince's beloved sons, right?"
Shen Ruolan didn't know why General Su wanted to see her, so she could only smile and reply, "That's right."
General Su stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch the children, but the two children refused to let him get close, which made him laugh and say, "As expected of the prince's children, their expression of disdain is exactly the same as his."
Shen Ruolan glanced at the two children and said to General Su, "The children are shy, please forgive me, General Su."
General Su said to Shen Ruolan: "The children are so cute."
As General Su finished speaking, the man who had just brought Shen Ruolan back brought a tray over and said to General Su, "General, the tea is ready."
General Su nodded to his subordinates and said, "Hurry up and pour tea for the lady."
"Yes," the man said, and quickly put down the tray, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, please have some tea."
Shen Ruolan handed the child to Aunt Liu and the other person behind her, took the tea and said, "Thank you!"
After she finished speaking, she blew gently on the teacup and took a sip of tea. Anyway, since General Su hadn't mentioned the invitation for this trip, Shen Ruolan wouldn't ask any more questions.
General Su looked at Shen Ruolan who was leisurely drinking tea. Seeing that she didn't care if he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but frown.
A woman who can be so relaxed and at ease when facing the invitation of a strange man, she is either heartless or extremely cunning.
Obviously, the woman in front of him was the latter. After all, a heartless woman could not accept so many bandits, let alone feed them.
Even if she could, if she didn't have any ability, other bandits would not be willing to submit to her rule.
When General Su thought of this, he sighed in his heart and asked Shen Ruolan directly: "Madam, when you came from Fuzhai and passed through Nanfeng Village, did you find any abnormalities in Nanfeng Village?"
When Shen Ruolan heard General Su mention Nanfeng Village, she put down her teacup and nodded to General Su honestly, "We found out. I heard they were robbed by bandits."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she continued to drink her tea silently without saying much.
Seeing her like this, General Su knew that she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. However, he had thought about this matter for a long time and it was most appropriate for her to come forward and resolve it.
After a brief silence, General Su said to Shen Ruolan, "Madam, I have already investigated the robbery of Nanfeng Village. It was the work of the Xia Kingdom's garrison troops. They were secretly robbing as bandits, but in fact they were slowly devouring the interests of the villagers around our country, and then angering our people to clash with them so that they could send troops to attack Beiming."
After hearing what General Su said, Shen Ruolan just responded with an "Oh" and didn't say much.
General Su saw this and looked at her anxiously and asked, "Madam, don't you have any opinion on this matter?"
Shen Ruolan listened to General Su's question. She looked at him innocently and said, "General, military affairs are national affairs. Ruolan is just a woman. I don't understand, I don't understand!"
Shen Ruolan felt deeply sympathetic about the plight of the Nanfeng villagers. If General Su had no better way to help them rescue their children, she would find a way to do so, but she did not want to get involved in the struggle between the two countries.
After all, she is now weak and helpless, and she just wants to grow crops well and have enough food to eat, so that she can grow up slowly.
Shen Ruolan's words "I don't understand" made General Su choked. If another woman said this, he wouldn't think it was a big deal, but as Shen Ruolan was the leader of the bandits, he felt that she was doing it on purpose to anger him.
General Su saw that Shen Ruolan didn't want to talk about this matter, so he had to get straight to the point and said to her: "Madam, I invited you here because I have something to ask of you. Please help me."
When Shen Ruolan saw General Su, he finally told her the purpose of meeting him. She looked at him and asked, "What does General Su want Ruolan to do for you?"
General Su stared at Shen Ruolan and said bluntly: "Madam, I hope you can come forward and help me rescue those innocent villagers in Nanfeng Village."
General Su was worried that Shen Ruolan would disagree, so he continued, "It's not easy for me to come forward for this matter, so I have no choice but to ask Madam for help."
He and Shen Ruolan have different identities. He represents Bei Ming, while Shen Ruolan only represents a bandit leader who has no one under his jurisdiction.
The fight between the two groups was just a fight between two bandits. The armies of the two countries could not and should not intervene.
After all, whoever intervenes first will be the culprit who caused the war. No matter which country wins or loses, it will not only lose the support of the people, but will also be infamous for thousands of years!
After Shen Ruolan heard what General Su said, she frowned and asked him, "General Su, how can you ask Ruolan to help?"
General Su said bluntly: "I will give Madam 500 elite soldiers, and you will lead them to Beinan Mountain to rescue the children of the villagers."
General Su's words frightened Shen Ruolan, who was drinking tea, so much that she almost spit out the tea. However, due to her upbringing, she swallowed the tea that choked her.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen Ruolan coughed for a long time after being choked. After she recovered, she looked at General Su in disbelief and said, "General, you think too highly of me. Are you sure I'm good at fighting?"
Shen Ruolan had thought of various ways that General Su could save the villagers, but she had never imagined that he would actually let her be cannon fodder. It was a pity that he could think of such a thing.
General Su knew that it was wrong to let a woman do such a thing, but he had no better choice, so he could only be thick-skinned and continue to say: "I really can't think of any other way, otherwise I wouldn't come to trouble you, Madam."
