Chapter 126: Chapter 126 - Heading to the Border

An Yi pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Su Yan’s eyes lit up and she quickly nodded.

An Yi said, “Excuse me.”

He reached out and grabbed Su Yan by the waist, bringing her out of the Su Mansion.

The next day, Chu Tao knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. She immediately opened the door.

When she saw the empty room and the letter on the table, she quickly informed Master Su.

Master Su read the letter in his hand.

The unfilial daughter Su Yan left a message.

“Father, mother, Yan’er is leaving to the border.

There’s something that I cannot explain, but I have to do it. I can’t just leave His Royal Highness alone. Forgive Yan’er for being stubborn this time. Please punish me after I come back later.

Don’t worry. I will protect myself.”

When Madam Su saw the letter, her tears were already about to fall.

Master Su sighed and said, “Our children will have their blessings. Let her go.”

Old Master Su was worried for Su Yan when he learned about this matter. At the same time, he was full of pride.

She was indeed worthy of being the daughter of the Su Family.

They vaguely sensed something wrong. It was somewhat different from what they had discussed back then.

They just didn’t want Su Yan to be worried. Hence, they did not tell her.

They did not expect that she would notice it herself.

Su Yan and An Yi quickly rushed to the border. At that moment, they had disguised themselves.

Su Yan disguised herself as a man so that it was more convenient for them.

After ten days of traveling, they finally arrived at the border.

The people here were clearly in a worse state. They had been fighting for the past few months, and people here were in dire straits.

They spent a long time walking, but they had not met anyone. Even when they bumped into someone, he would be one who looked like a beggar.

Su Yan walked past these battlefield areas. It was her first time seeing the cruel after-effects of battles with her own eyes.

In contrast, she felt even more disgraced towards the descendants of the royals and mighty officials in the capital.

An Yi said, “Princess Consort, there’s a stall here. You should take a rest first. I’ll go and check out in front.”

Su Yan nodded.

An Yi settled Su Yan down and went away.

Just as he left, a group of people came to the tea stall. They looked fierce.

Su Yan didn’t want to cause trouble, so she quietly stayed in the corner.

However, some trouble couldn’t be avoided.

The group of men raised their weapons as soon as they entered. The shop owner raised his hands as a sign of surrender. He seemed like he was used to such a situation.

Those men surrounded the owner and took the money away. They beat up people who didn’t give in.

They soon arrived beside Su Yan. A man held out his hand in front of Su Yan.

She obediently placed her money pouch into his hand.

The underling behind him suddenly shouted, “Boss, this kid’s hand is delicate.”

Su Yan quickly retracted her hand. Her face and neck were deliberately smeared black, but her hand was not.

“My brother said your hand looks beautiful. Come on, let us admire it,” said the man who was called “boss”.

After he finished speaking, the people behind him burst into laughter.

The shop owner looked at Su Yan’s thin and weak body. Then, he shook his head regretfully. It would not be easy for this person to escape.

These burly men had been robbing people at the border all year round. They wouldn’t go easy on their target, regardless of men or women.

Su Yan frowned and did not obey. These people were evil.

She looked at her surroundings. The boss got impatient and said, “Didn’t you hear what I’ve said? Bring him out.”

His last sentence was directed to his underlings.

A few men came forward and carried Su Yan out.

Su Yan’s figure was so small to them as if they were carrying a chicken.

Later, the boss seemed to have noticed something and said, “This kid’s face must have been deliberately blackened.”

The boss who was experienced saw through Su Yan’s disguise at a glance.

He got excited and asked someone to wipe the dirt off Su Yan’s face immediately.

A fair-looking smiling face appeared. All of them were stunned on the spot.
