Chapter 96 Don’t stand out, living is important
Jie Chen refused to let go.
It seemed that as long as Xiangying didn't tell the answer he wanted to hear, he would still forcibly pick her up and send her away.
"I..." Xiangying's tone was low, with a long ending, which attracted Jie Chen to listen attentively.
suddenly!
Xiangying suddenly raised his right arm, and his elbow hit Jie Chen's nose.
He groaned in pain, then let go and staggered back.
There was a rustle in the wind, and it was Xiangying who wrapped her robe again.
The squinting phoenix eyes were particularly dark, cold and sober.
"No matter what I think, there is no need to explain to the Jie Jiejun."
Jie Chen endured the pain and raised his dark, thin eyes to look at her.
He seemed to be the closest person to Xiangying on the entire ship, but she still maintained the due vigilance towards him.
He, on the other hand, gradually relaxed his guard against her.
Xiangying held up her wet hair and spoke calmly with her red lips:
"If I run away at this time, wouldn't I really become a slave to the country? Only a coward would run away."
"The Western Zhou Dynasty died, and you are now an exiled prisoner." Jie Chen had to remind him in a mute voice.
But Xiangying raised her pretty eyebrows: "People who are worthless are called prisoners, people who are valuable are called nobles, and the deputy general will thank me."
Xie Chen almost laughed out of anger at her.
This woman doesn't seem to know how to write about timidity, and is always full of high-spirited self-confidence.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I have nothing to advise you. I can only remind you to be careful. The deputy general is not an easy person to deal with."
After Xie Chen said this, he secretly laughed at himself for caring too much, opened the door and strode out.
Suan Xiucai was waiting not far away. When he saw Quanchen coming, he was shocked: "Jie Jiejun, you have a nosebleed!"
Jie Chen was startled and immediately drew out his sword.
Reflecting on the mirror-like blade, he saw two pillars of blood under his nose.
So, he was talking to Xiang Ying with such dignity just now?
Jie Chen wiped away the blood stains with his big palm and said with a cold face: "Pass the secret message for me!"
He helped Xiangying one last time and would never care about her again.
She was right, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, they were even enemies with a national feud.
He has done everything he should do, and it’s good that we won’t owe each other anything in the future!
Xiangying returned to her place of residence from the boat where she was bathing.
The children were all asleep, but Xiang Yuanxiao sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Why did it take you so long?" the little guy asked.
As the eldest brother, Xiang Yuanxiao always has something to worry about.
For example, when Xiangying went to take a bath, no matter how sleepy he was, he would hold his eyelids open and wait for her to come back.
Xiangying turned her back to him, packing her bags, and said softly: "I heard that I'm going to Luzhou soon. Mom needs to get ready, so you can go to bed first."
Xiang Yuanxiao opened his sleepy eyes and watched her wrap something in a three-layer handkerchief and then put it in her purse.
Early the next morning.
The ship is about to arrive at Changping Ferry, the largest ferry in Luzhou.
Xiangying is giving out the wontons she made in the morning to the children.
The skin is thin and the filling is big, floating in the bone soup, with a little sesame oil and pepper, one bite will fill your mouth with fragrance.
After Xiang Yuanlang finished eating, he took Xiang Xiuxiu to play outside.
Taoxue couldn't help but warned: "We are about to dock. Everyone is busy packing their things. Your two little highnesses must not get close to the railing to avoid falling!" Xiang Xiuxiu nodded obediently: "I protect my second brother~ No It will make him fall down and feed the fish!”
The two of them left together, while Xiang Yuanxiao stayed, like a little adult, helping Xiang Ying collect the iron pots for cooking.
Seeing this, Xiangying couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't want that pot anymore. When we get to Luzhou, we will have a better one."
Xiang Yuanxiao pursed his lips, looking a little disapproving.
"I have heard the people on the ship talking about it. The deputy general of South Vietnam is angry with you and wants to put you to death. I will protect you. When the time comes, this iron pot will be used to smash the deputy general's head."
< br>
Xiangying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Tao Xue turned pale: "If the deputy general really attacks, can the Jie Supervisor and the others protect us with their abilities?"
"Why rely on others? I can only rely on myself to protect you." Xiangying's red lips smiled brightly.
She said it very confidently, but Taoxue was still a little uneasy.
Qi Fengyi sharpened the wooden stick for inserting fish and tied it behind his back. His eyes were cold: "If you dare to hurt the eldest princess, we will rebel."
Xiangying comforted Taoxue and her: "When the time comes, take care of my three children and don't act rashly."
Seeing the pretense of maturity on Xiang Yuanxiao's face, Xiang Ying promised: "When we get past Luzhou, I promise, let's take a carriage, ride a real big horse, and enjoy good food and drink."
Xiang Yuanxiao snorted: "Blow it! Don't stand out anymore, life is the most important thing."
At this moment, Xiang Yuanlang, who had just left, pulled Xiang Xiuxiu and ran back in a hurry.
His usually cold little face looked a little solemn, and he ran too fast and was panting.
Xiangying's expression suddenly became serious and she glanced behind him: "What's wrong, someone is bullying you?"
Xiang Xiuxiu was also out of breath: "The second brother just talked to the birds that flew over, and then he pulled me and ran back. I haven't even played anything yet, and I am so tired from running!"
When Xiangying heard this, she knew that Xiang Yuanlang must have secretly gone to exercise his abilities again.
"Come here, I'll tell you alone." Xiang Yuanlang took Xiang Ying's hand.
The mother and son walked to the corner, Xiang Yuanlang whispered something, and Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi saw Xiang Ying's face turn white and cold.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
Xiang Yuanlang nodded decisively. Despite his young age, his voice contained a calmness that was incompatible with his age.
"Don't be afraid it's fake, just be afraid it's true. Make preparations in advance."
After he finished speaking, Xiangying pondered for a moment, then stood up immediately and told Taoxue and Qi Fengyi: "You two go and call the concubines, Lingxiang and the Seventh Princess over, and don't disturb the rest of the soldiers and captains."
The two felt that the matter was not trivial and went immediately.
Xiang Yuanlang just told her that the birds flying over came from Changping Ferry in Luzhou.
It heard a man on a tall horse saying that all the female relatives on the six ships would be sent to the South Vietnamese soldiers for humiliation.
They will catch Xiangying and others as soon as they get off the boat and control them all.
On the entire ship, excluding the hundred or so soldiers and captains, there were about sixty people left, nearly fifty of whom were female dependents.
The deputy general was determined to humiliate Xiang Ying, and at the same time humiliate all the other female relatives.
After the other three people arrived and closed the door, Xiang Ying said: "Soon after we get off the boat, soldiers may come to capture us and send us to the South Vietnamese soldiers for humiliation."
As soon as these words came out, all the women in the room turned pale and bloodless.
Xiangying immediately added: "If this is really the case, pull up your sleeves immediately and show them the strange disease on your body."
Taoxue was so frightened that she almost cried: "But, there is no strange disease in this slave. Damn it, if I had known that I was infected with the plague, these bastards would not be cheap!"
Xiangying suddenly took out a prepared package of things from behind.
"Crush this on your fingertips."
When several people saw it, they were surprised and said: "This is..."
