Chapter 69: He is a dog for us
Half an hour later.
The soldiers in the second boat put down the boat, and Xiangying and Xiechen got on board to return to the first boat.
As soon as they saw Xiang Ying, several soldiers came forward——
"I am good at water and can escort Jie Jiejun and Xiang Ying to the boat ahead."
"I row better, let me deliver."
In the past, it was called "prisoner", but now they automatically omit the word "prisoner".
Under the sun, the boat was undulating and swaying. Xiangying was wearing elegant white clothes, with black hair hanging on her shoulders and a faint smile on her red lips.
She looked at Jie Chen proudly.
It seems to be saying: Look, the human heart is here.
Jie Chen's thin eyes were dark, and there was a bit of helplessness in them.
He ordered two people to row the boat, and the two soldiers shouted excitedly on the board as if they had won a prize.
While rowing, the two people talked to Xiangying from time to time.
"Xiangying, sit tight."
"You are so good at water, who did you learn from?"
Xiangying was basking in the warm sun, but didn't pay much attention to them and smiled perfunctorily.
On the contrary, Jie Chen frowned and looked at the two people rowing: "You two are so strong, why don't you go down and swim two laps to come up?"
The soldiers and soldiers immediately shut up.
"Jie Chen, have you noticed anything strange?" Xiangying suddenly said.
Jie Chen looked at her, and Xiang Ying was turning slightly sideways, reaching out to brush the river water.
"Six ships were walking on the river in front and back formation. The second ship followed the same route as ours. Why were their bottoms ripped open by the reef?"
The two soldiers rowing the boat nodded: "That's right! The first boat will be fine."
Jie Chen looked at them coldly, and the two lowered their heads again.
"Do you think someone is tampering with you?"
Xiangying shook off the water drops on her fingertips, raised her head and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun.
"I just doubt it, but it's not something I should worry about. I'm just reminding you."
Jie Chen said nothing.
He would not tell Xiang Ying that they thought of going together.
After he settled her down last night, he returned to the bilge to conduct a thorough investigation.
People have been arranged to conduct a thorough investigation of the people who entered the bilge that night, but there are no results yet.
Xiangying and the others returned to the first ship.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
Scarface rushed to the front: "Are you...are you okay?"
He actually wanted to ask Xiangying, but when he saw Jie Chen behind her, he immediately reacted.
Two supervisors, Wei and Ke, came over with solemn expressions. They were obviously relieved to see that they were all fine.
The Guard Supervisor scolded Xiang Ying: "You are taking too many risks, how dare you take..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Chen interrupted lightly: "As long as the matter is resolved."
The guard supervisor was startled, but he didn't expect Xie Chen to protect Xiang Ying.
"Mother! Mother!" From a distance, Taoxue came with three little ones.
Behind them were Xiang Li, Lin Lingxiang and others, including Fang Gan.
Xiang Yuanxiao ran at the front and was about to throw himself into Xiang Ying's arms, but suddenly he remembered that he was a big child.
He is four years old and cannot be held by his mother casually.
So he stopped dead in his tracks, Xiang Xiuxiu flew towards Xiangying, and hugged her with his little hands.
Xiangying groaned while holding the child in her arms.
Ahhhh her waist!
Xie Chen directly pulled Xiang Xiuxiu away: "She is fine, but she is a little tired and can't hold you."
Xiang Xiuxiu pursed her lips, a little aggrieved, but more sensible.
The little guy's eyes were filled with tears: "Mom, we almost thought you wouldn't come back."
Xiangying bent down and wiped away the child's tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Mom just swam in the water. Did it scare you?"
"Originally we were very scared, but Uncle Fang acted as a bull for us to ride and made us happy, so we got better."
As soon as Xiang Xiuxiu finished speaking, Xiang Yuanlang corrected him in a cold voice: "He was playing the role of a donkey." Xiang Yuanxiao retorted: "You are all wrong, he was playing the role of a dog for us."
Fang Gan squeezed out and jumped to protest: "I am a horse! I am a horse! You have all played the game of riding a big horse, and you have forgotten it?"
The three little ones smiled with different expressions to hide their embarrassment.
Xiangying raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Fang Qian.
This guy actually secretly contacted the child while she was away.
You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?
Fang Qian noticed Xiangying's eyes and immediately looked at her with those dog eyes again like looking at stars.
"The eldest princess was brave and saved everyone on the second ship. What I did is nothing, just to help the eldest princess share the burden. Thank you for your hard work, eldest princess!"
He was about to come over and hold Xiangying's hand, but was blocked by Jie Chen halfway.
Jie Chen's voice was cold and he ordered Scarface and others: "Take these fishermen down and study the route carefully so that nothing happens again."
Scarface accepted the order and led his soldiers to fight Fang Gan away.
Xiangying turned her head and saw Xiangli's pupils were red, looking at her with very complicated emotions.
"Brother..."
Xiang Li limped forward and gently hugged her neck.
He said: "As long as everything is fine, it will be good to come back."
Jie Chen rubbed his fingertips slightly, trying to stop him, but this was his brother.
At this moment, Ke Jianjun's gloomy tone came.
"Prisoners face each other."
When Xiangying turned around, Ke Jianjun stared at her with an unkind expression.
Several children quickly supported her, Taoxue and Qi Fengyi even opened their arms.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to repay kindness with hatred?"
Ke Jianjun glanced at her sideways: "Favour? This is not considered at all!"
Jie Chen frowned: "She did help."
Ke Jianjun walked up to Xiangying. Suddenly, he bowed his hands and bowed his head.
Everyone present was stunned.
Xiang Qianqian and others who were waiting to see the joke in the distance were also startled.
What the hell? Doesn’t Ke Jianjun dislike Xiang Ying the most?
"South Vietnam and the Western Zhou Dynasty are enemies. Thank you for putting aside the grudges between the two countries and saving people."
Xiangying raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly: "With a little effort, I can save you, but also save our own people in the Western Zhou Dynasty."
The guards and supervisors acted as peacemakers with a smile on their face.
"To be recognized by Supervisor Ke, Xiangying, you have made a great contribution this time."
He waved his hand and announced that everyone would eat meat today.
The soldiers and even the prisoners cheered with joy.
Xiangying hugged the children and left.
Ke Jianjun walked up to Jie Chen and coughed slightly unnaturally.
"My past prejudices have been wiped out. From now on, I will no longer comment on your affairs with her."
As he said that, he handed over his hands: "I thought it was my fault before. If you are still angry, I understand."
However, Jie Chen reached out and patted his shoulder gently.
"There's nothing to be angry about. Just write it off as you said."
After Xie Chen finished speaking, he called them together to discuss the next route.
Ke Jianjun still felt a little guilty.
Because he was so angry that he used a carrier pigeon to report what Jie Chen had done to the deputy general.
However, if he explains it clearly to Xie Chen then, nothing will happen, right?
Meat was added to everyone on the ship, and the prisoners finally had broth after leaving Beijing for a month!
Everyone held their bowls in their hands and exclaimed how delicious it was.
Scarface saw that all the people in the bilge had come to receive the porridge, but did not see Liu Taibin.
He couldn't help but go to the bottom of the bilge to check.
Unexpectedly, he saw...
I don’t know if I will be beaten to death if I use this carding method today... I’ll give it a try...
