Chapter 17 Iced Mint Nectar
Jie Chen's thin eyes were dark and cold, staring at her: "You know that I am looking for Yuxi, and I deliberately used this leader to take the bait. You wanted to use my hand to kill him, but you were not hit by his ecstasy."
Xiangying put away the emerald, with an indifferent smile on her beautiful face.
"With his level, it would have been eight hundred lifetimes before he tried to drug me."
The silver needle did prick her, like a mosquito bite, neither painful nor itchy.
What's more, Xiangying was proficient in acupuncture points, so she tapped the Xigguan point twice to prevent the drug from spreading to the brain.
Yellow Beard's ability is about the same as dealing with children.
The reason why she didn't fight back was because she knew Jie Chen was nearby, not to mention she didn't want to dirty her hands.
After all, as Huang Beard said, he was a captain, and she was the escort princess of the defeated country.
If she killed Huang Beard in front of Xie Chen and all the soldiers, Nanyue would find some reason to torture her and the children.
"Then you are acting weak because you know I am here?"
"Of course not, I just want you to see clearly, Supervisor, that everyone else wants this jade seal except you. If I give the jade seal to others, they will not be able to give it to you."
Xiangying's red lips pursed into a smile, looking harmless under the moonlight.
Although she didn't know why Xie Chen had to find the jade seal passed down from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
But she knew that Jie Chen would definitely send someone to monitor her nearby for this thing.
So she deliberately exposed this wooden shell jade during the day just to lure him into taking the bait.
She didn't pass on the imperial seal, but that didn't stop her from deceiving him.
"Jie Jiejun, my request is very simple. You protect me and my children. When we get to South Vietnam, I will only tell you where the jade seal is hidden."
Xiangying's eyes narrowed slightly, and she put her arm on Jie Chen's shoulders: "We have had friendship after all..."
Before she could finish her words, Jie Chen suddenly pushed her hand away, turned sideways, and spoke in a sharp and cold tone.
"I said, don't mention the past things again, otherwise I would rather not give up the jade seal, but also kill you."
Xiangying curled his lips.
She secretly scolded him for his lack of grace, even though he seemed to be having a lot of fun that night.
Yeah, although it seems forced.
Jie Chen calmed down and looked at her coldly: "You are so powerful, do you still need my protection?"
Xiangying's tone was calm and quite confident: "It's so hard for the children on the road of exile. I want them to live more comfortably."
"For example?"
"For example, if you lend me one of your horses, I will make a horse-drawn carriage so that the children can sit on it."
After she finished speaking, Xie Chen's face turned as cold as ice: "Madman."
Did she think she was going to travel around the world?
Xie Chen turned around and left.
No matter how Xiangying called him, he ignored it. It seemed that he had no intention of talking about it.
Xiangying knew that she wanted more, but it wasn't too much.
Sooner or later, Xie Chen will let go.
She returned to the children, and when she passed by Xiang Qianqian, Xiang Ying glanced at her.
Xiang Qianqian lowered her head with guilt for some reason and shrank.
The three little ones are still arguing about what just happened.
Xiang Xiuxiu: "The thing he cares about is his mother."
"What he cares about is the jade seal. Everyone in South Vietnam wants our jade seal." Xiang Yuanxiao corrected.
Xiang Yuanlang crossed his arms and pretended to be cold: "She doesn't have a jade seal."
Seeing that Xiangying was back, Taoxue stood up quickly: "Eldest Princess, did the supervisor not give you any trouble?"
"No." After Xiangying said this, Taoxue breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, Xiangying returned the emerald to Taoxue.
"Here, put your things away."
Taoxue's eyes widened, and she hurriedly touched her chest.
He took out a cloth bag from inside, which contained the things Xiangying had thrown away before.
The emperor's stockings, the concubine's pearls, and of course, the missing emerald.
Taoxue was shocked: "When the eldest princess took it away, I don't even know!"
Xiangying helplessly held up her forehead: "I haven't said anything about you yet. I threw it away at that time. Why did you pick it up again?"
Taoxue smiled sheepishly: "I'm afraid we need money on the way..."
But how much can these scraps be exchanged for?
Taoxue turned her back, put these things away again, and tied them inside her chest.
She learned this method from Xiangying.
The eldest princess can take out the hidden food one after another from that proud curve.
She could also hide money and treasures here.
I have to say that no one really doubts that her parents, the princess, are really smart.
After Xiangying lay down, he took out something wrapped in ashes from his sleeve.
This is her true imperial green.
The whole body is bright in color, and the green is very pure. Xiangying was afraid of losing it, so she replaced the imperial green with Taoxue's emerald.
The real thing has always been hidden in her.
Xiangying put the wooden shell back on and placed it close to her body.
This jade was worn around her neck by the original owner since she was a book reader. It must be very precious.
Xiangying decided to protect this jade as the only evidence to commemorate the existence of the original owner.
The next day, the exile team set off.
Huangbeard had no hands, so he was carried on the backs of the soldiers.
But he was no longer a captain, and the soldiers soon disliked the trouble and tied him behind the horses and dragged him.
Yellowbeard screamed from time to time, but no one paid attention.
When the female relatives of Qin Tianjian's family who had been insulted by him saw this scene, they secretly clenched their fists and felt happy.
This evil man should have been treated like this long ago!
The sun was shining brightly and it was very hot.
The children also drank more water, and they were all wilted in the sun.
Xiangying rummaged around the space to see if there was anything that could cool them down.
Unexpectedly, after taking a look like this, she discovered that the three-character sign that led to the fifth floor from the fourth floor in the space lit up with one word.
The word beast in "Word, Beast, Power" is lit up, and there is an extra refrigerator on the fourth floor!
Xiangying was surprised.
So, the beast corresponds to the ability of her second son Xiang Yuenlang?
Xiangying opened the refrigerator, and the air-conditioning hit her head, making her feel extremely cool.
The refrigerator is full of frozen ice cubes, and it looks like there is a possibility of upgrading and expanding.
Xiangying was so happy that she immediately broke the ice cubes and poured them into the water bag.
Take two more mint leaves, squeeze in a little nectar, and shake evenly.
The three children were wiping sweat back and forth in the heat.
Xiangying called them to his side and quietly handed over the water bag.
"Drink some water."
The two brothers both humbly allowed their sister to drink. The little girl took a sip of the water bag and suddenly her bright eyes widened.
"Mother, this..."
"Shh!" Xiangying gestured, "Drink, don't make any noise."
Xiang Xiuxiu swallowed hard.
The cold sweet water, with the fragrance of mint and the sweetness of nectar, directly awakens the parched and dry body.
It felt as if the long-scorched desert was receiving a hearty heavy rain!
Xiang Xiuxiu gave the water bag to her two brothers, and Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang drank it with surprised faces.
The three of them passed it back and forth, you took a sip, I took a sip, and their soft little faces showed happy smiles.
So sweet and delicious!
However, after a while, Xiang Yuanxiao returned the water bag to Xiang Ying.
"You drink, you and Taoxue haven't drank yet!"
Taoxue, who was carrying her back, turned around, holding the water bag that Xiangying had just given her in her hand: "Huh?"
Xiang Yuanxiao had no time to close his open mouth.
"Why does she have one? How many water bags do you have?" He asked Xiangying in surprise.
Xiang Ying pointed to the front: "The supervisor gave it to you, so feel free to drink it. You can have as much as you want."
The three little guys were not polite to her, and drank heavily.
The weather was so hot that even the horses couldn't stand it after walking for half a day. The supervisor and the others finally gave the order to rest by a shady stream.
Many exiled prisoners jumped into the stream to drink heavily and scrubbed the mud off their bodies.
The three children said they needed to go to the toilet, so Xiangying took them behind a nearby tree.
After that, we went upstream in the creek and scrubbed the faces and bodies of the three children.
Xiang Xiuxiu was shy and did not dare to take off her clothes and splash in the stream like her two brothers.
The seventh princess volunteered and came over: "Let me help Xiuxiu cover up. Big sister, you wash her."
Xiangying glanced at her flattering smile and said lightly: "Thank you."
The seventh princess opened her clothes and Xiangying wiped Xiang Xiuxiu clean with quick movements.
The little girl's hair was all tangled.
There were too many people around, otherwise Xiangying would really want to rub her with soap locust.
Taoxue washed the clothes for the three children. Fortunately, it was hot summer, the sun was shining brightly, and the wet clothes dried after a while.
When Xiangying took the three children back, Xiangli, who was lying on the cart, let out a muffled groan.
Lin Lingxiang, who was wiping his body, paused, her eyes filled with surprise.
"His Royal Highness is awake?"
