Chapter 24: Yesterday we caught pheasants, today we catch hares
Xiangying asked Taoxue, Yu and the others to come over and share the pheasant with everyone.
She made an excuse and went to the nearby woods. She turned her back to everyone and took out the knife from the space.
After plucking and gutting the pheasant, she went to the forest to carry firewood.
Unexpectedly, when Xiangying came back, their pheasants would have been confiscated.
Xiang Yuanxiao stretched out his hand to stop: "Give it back to me, we caught it!"
Scarface waved him away with his big palm: "In terms of military regulations, as long as it is suspicious, we have reason to confiscate it."
Xiangying's cold voice came: "Are pheasants suspicious? Can they come alive and take us away or something?"
Scarface looked at her dark phoenix eyes and laughed: "You don't need to argue with me. In short, I said no, it just can't be done!"
"I don't care how noble your status was in the past. Now that you are a prisoner, you must obey my orders!"
After that, he waved directly, and the soldiers grabbed the pheasants and followed him.
Xiangying immediately went over to argue with him, but was persuaded by the seventh princess.
"Forget it, princess, this scarred face is said to be the most harsh and unkind person in the entire exile team. Let's not get along with him."
But Xiangying has never been the type to swallow his anger.
Eat the pheasant she caught, right? Let them eat! You can't eat them to death!
Scarface was not greedy and asked the soldiers to divide the pheasants caught by Xiangying.
While they were collecting firewood, Xiangying sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on the pheasant meat.
Then he strode away like a normal person with his hands behind his back.
When the soldiers came back, they found nothing unusual, so they set up wooden frames and lit a fire to barbecue.
The fragrant smell of chicken soon wafted over, and the soldiers all drooled from the smell and ate happily.
Later in the night.
"Hey, my stomach hurts!"
"Me too, oh, I can't hold it in anymore."
The fart sound was like a huge thunder, ringing in the silent night.
Scarface yelled impatiently: "If you want to go out, hurry up! A bunch of trash that eats and poops!"
Xiangying squinted her eyes and watched the soldiers running to the nearby woods to have diarrhea one after another.
She hugged Xiang Xiuxiu tightly in her arms with satisfaction.
The chicken is wrapped in croton flour, which makes you ecstasy the more you eat it.
Can't hold them to death!
Get up early the next morning.
The prisoners were in high spirits, but the soldiers guarding them had a sallow complexion, and their weak cheeks were slightly sunken.
Anyone who ate the pheasant had diarrhea six or seven times last night.
Fortunately, the accompanying military doctor had medicine, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to set off today.
The food that the supervisors and others brought was almost finished. Fortunately, they were about to reach the nearest Yucheng. The supervisors ordered the entire exile team to march to Yucheng.
In the evening, they stopped to rest outside Xiaji County, which was still a hundred miles away from Yucheng.
Xiangying still took Xiang Yuanlang and went to the forest to practice his ability to control beasts.
This time I finally caught two hares.
Xiangying took the wild rabbit back, but this time she didn't leave. She just sat there and skinned it. She wanted to see if Scarface would bring someone to rob it.
If she really dares to come, she won't be polite.
However, Scarface did not come by himself. Instead, he arranged for Xiang Qianqian and Yang Guiren to come over and ask Xiang Ying directly.
"Sister, the captain is discussing matters at the military supervisor's office. He specially arranged for me to come and tell you that you have to give this wild rabbit to us and you cannot keep it yourself."
Yang Guiren followed suit: "Yes, Princess, please take it out quickly. If everyone is like you and goes to the woods to find food for themselves, how can you maintain discipline?"
Xiangying raised her dark phoenix eyes, and her fierce momentum shocked Yang Guiren to take a step back.
"I caught the rabbit myself. It's your business if you two want to be his slaves, but don't worry about me."
Xiang Qianqian frowned, knowing that it wouldn't go particularly well.
Yang Guiren took advantage of the fact that he was now helping Scarface and the others cook, showing some courage.
"Princess, how can you say that? Who among us is not a slave now? A slave to the subjugation of the country! I advise you not to do this for your own good. Do you want to be whipped?"
"He dares. Anyway, tell Scarface that if you want a rabbit, you can get it yourself. Don't think that if you send a cat or a dog over, I will compromise."
Xiangying showed her attitude, and Xiang Qianqian knew that she couldn't do it.
But it's rare for a captain to leave this kind of thing to her. If she doesn't perform well, how can she establish her irreplaceable value?
at the same time.
In the room where the supervisors rested, more than a dozen captains bowed their heads for training. There are three supervisors, headed by Jie Chen.
When talking about Xiangying's problem, Jie Chen said coldly: "As the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, she should be captured alive and sent back to South Vietnam to be dealt with by the emperor. Therefore, she is not allowed to die on the road."
Scarface suddenly raised his head: "Supervisor! None of the prisoners we escort is a noble, is she the only one special? If she makes a mistake, she still has to sit back and do nothing? What if she escapes with the prisoners?"
"She won't. You should keep an eye on those three children and Xiang Li." Xie Chen said firmly.
After observing these days, he has figured out Xiangying's thoughts.
She was willing to go to South Vietnam because she probably couldn't let go of her three children and her brother.
However, Scarface felt that Jiechen was partial, and held his hand in disbelief: "I know, I know, as long as she doesn't go too far, I can't afford to offend or hide from you!"
Jie Chen waved his hand: "Let's go."
At this time, Yang Guiren was already arguing with Xiang Ying across the fire.
Suddenly, Xiang Qianqian reached out and pushed her into the fire.
Xiangying immediately protected the children and retreated.
"Ah——! It's so hot! Help!" Yang Guiren's whole body was on fire, screaming and rolling back and forth on the ground.
"What's going on!" Scarface happened to come back with someone.
Xiang Qianqian turned pale with fright, took several steps back, and said in a horrified tone: "Captain, Yang Guiren couldn't reason with the eldest sister and fell into the fire..."
Scarface immediately asked the soldiers to kick Yang Guiren with their feet to stamp out the fire on her body.
When the other prisoners heard Yang Guiren's screams, they couldn't bear to turn their heads.
Xiangying protected the three little ones, her phoenix eyes were dark and cold, and she didn't say anything to stop them.
When the fire was extinguished, Yang Guiren was also dying, with only a few good pieces of skin burned on his body.
Yang Guiren pointed at Xiang Qianqian: "You, you..."
She was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.
Xiang Qianqian hid behind Scarface and talked about what just happened.
Her voice was innocent: "The eldest sister refused to hand over the hare. Yang Gui was impatient, so he argued for a few words, but he didn't expect to fall into the fire."
Taoxue couldn't help but defend: "But I clearly saw that it was you who pushed her!"
Xiang Qianqian refused to admit it: "Why should I do this? What good will it do to me if I harm Yang Guiren?"
Xiangying sneered, and when Xiang Qianqian saw the look in her eyes, he was inexplicably frightened and lowered his head.
Scarface stepped forward directly and angrily said to Xiang Ying: "You turned a deaf ear to what I said? Yesterday I caught pheasants, today I caught hares, and you are still here making a fire for cooking. You think you are just out for fun!"
"Now that you've killed someone, you can't escape this punishment!" Guan Jie Supervisor said whatever he said, he had to give this woman something awesome today!
He held the short stick used to teach the prisoner in his hand and smashed it directly towards Xiang Ying.
Xiangying raised her hand and snatched it away. Scarface didn't expect her to be so bold.
I saw Xiangying grabbing the short stick with both hands, raising his knees and hitting it!
There was a click and the stick broke.
She threw it aside like trash.
Scarface's eyes widened: "How dare you resist!?"
He took out the soft whip from his waist and whipped it at Xiangying's head.
Xiangying grabbed the whip, turned her wrist, and wrapped the whip around her palm twice.
She pulled hard, and Scarface's tall body was staggered by her pull.
While he was bending over, Xiangying raised her fist and hit him on the throat.
In an instant, Scarface's body became weak and he fell backward uncontrollably.
"Captain!" The soldiers gathered around and hurriedly supported Scarface.
The night wind blew, and prisoner Xiangying's clothes were slightly raised. His black hair fell loosely on his shoulders, but his phoenix eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Fight, you can't beat me. Say, you're unreasonable. You're a tall, seven-foot man. What a shame!" She snorted with red lips, looking extremely cold.
Xiangying swung the whip he had just snatched and slapped it into the dirt next to Scarface.
There was a snap, and deep dents appeared in the mud.
Xiang Qianqian was dumbfounded and quietly backed away, fearing that Xiang Ying would go crazy and hurt her.
Scarface gritted his teeth angrily, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and his face turned red.
He pushed away the soldiers and stood up.
"Xiangying, you're lucky because the supervisor said he didn't want your life! But you're so arrogant today, don't blame me..."
Before Scarface finished speaking, the soldiers beside him suddenly drew their swords and pointed them at Xiangying.
