Chapter 103 Do you have your eyes open or closed
We came to the camp where the deputy general lived last night again.
However, this time he accepted the lesson learned last night and stepped up patrols.
There were six soldiers guarding the camp.
The deputy general soaked him in an ice bucket to relieve pain. Last night, Xiangying rubbed chili powder and salt on his body, which made his injuries worse as expected.
Now when he speaks, his whole face twitches and hurts, and yellow water oozes out at every turn.
Xiangying looked indifferent on her face, but she clicked her tongue in her heart.
This deputy general is quite difficult to kill, even if he doesn't die.
But now that the sun is scorching hot, his wounds should be quite uncomfortable.
Standing in the tent were Jie Chen and the guard supervisor, whose cheeks were red and swollen as if he had been slapped.
At this time, the guard supervisor knelt on the ground, pointed at Xiang Ying, and said that he was wronged.
"Vice general, this Xiangying has always been good at skills. She must have stolen the things. She blamed Xiechen on me!"
The deputy general didn't believe it at all, but he had seen Xiangying's skills with his own eyes, and he was indeed agile.
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Except silence, silence.
Xiangying was still looking at Jie Chen, with an indifferent smile in her dark phoenix eyes, waiting for his answer.
The deputy general suddenly became angry: "Xiangying, are you deaf? I'm asking a question!"
Xiangying was stunned for a moment, looked at the deputy general carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Vice general, if you close your eyes, how do I know you are talking to me."
These words directly stimulated the fragile mind of the deputy general.
He slapped the water hard and almost stood up: "I open my eyes! Answer me!"
Xiangying said oh.
It seemed that the wasp sting was so severe, and her chili powder had made him completely swollen.
His eyes turned into slits, and Xiangying really couldn't tell whether he had his eyes open.
"I heard that a lot of things were lost. I am just a weak woman with a child. How can I do it?"
"Moreover, on the way here, I saw that this camp was heavily guarded. Even if I really came, how could no one find me?"
This is what the deputy general is suspicious of.
Although he didn't believe it was the Guard Supervisory Army who did it, he couldn't find any other evidence to prove that it was Xiang Ying.
From the corner of her eye, Xiangying saw the deputy general's head tilting towards Jie Chen.
Although he hadn't spoken yet, Xiang Ying felt keenly that the deputy general must be suspicious of Jie Chen.
Xiangying said bluntly: "As for the liberation of the supervisory army, it is even more impossible. The two of us were together last night."
Jie Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at her blankly.
The guards and supervisors immediately pointed at the two of them as if they had found a flaw: "Lieutenant General, listen, they are shielding each other, that's exactly the problem!"
The deputy general wanted to squint his eyes, but no, he was now as swollen as a pig's head and couldn't squint.
He could only say angrily: "Xie Chen, tell the truth yourself, where were you last night!"
The guards and supervisors were afraid that Jie Chen would lie.
He stared at Jie Chen and said in a venomous tone: "Jie Chen, you'd better speak out with your conscience and don't make up lies for her. Otherwise, you will be sorry for the dead Tu Kang and those brothers!"
Jie Chen frowned slightly.
"I was indeed not with Xiangying last night."
After he finished speaking, Xiangying looked a little indifferent.
This Jie Chen, couldn't you see that she was trying to save him?
The next second, Jian Chen took out several letters from his arms.
"Last night, I was busy investigating the secret letters sent by the Guards and Supervisors. I found these letters in his luggage. Before I investigated, who was he going to report our itinerary to in detail? Please Lieutenant General, give me a little more time.”
The guards and supervisors suddenly froze, and even the deputy general fell silent.
Xiangying raised her eyebrows and smiled secretly in her heart, it was interesting. It turns out that Jie Chen already knew that the Guard Guards Army had betrayed him? Evidence was left.
If the deputy general's face wasn't swollen, his expression would be wonderful.
"The Guards and Supervisors... are they from my father? I heard that my father is still on the run. Could it be that they sent the letter to him?"
Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes were filled with a sneer, and her tone of voice was gentle, but it seemed to put a barb in the hearts of the deputy general and the supervisor.
Even if it is pulled out, there will still be blood.
The Guard Supervisor shook his head hurriedly: "No! I didn't give it to him, deputy general..."
"Shut up!" The deputy general said in a serious voice, fearing that he would confess himself, "Xie Chen, I will investigate these matters thoroughly. Please keep the letter."
Jie Chen didn't refute, and calmly placed the letter on the table nearby.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, the deputy general turned around and scolded the guards: "You bastard, you dare to steal my things, and you want to frame Jie Chen and others. Come here, drag the guards down and quarter them into pieces!"
Two soldiers suddenly came in from outside, dragging the guards and supervisors out.
"Lieutenant General! Spare my life, Lieutenant General!"
His begging for mercy soon came to an abrupt end with a scream.
Xiangying listened indifferently.
Jie Chen grabbed her arm and said to the deputy general: "After I go back, I will also correct the atmosphere of the team. I will also discipline Xiang Ying. Let's go first."
"Wait a minute." The deputy general's eerie voice sounded, "You can leave, but she has to stay."
As he finished speaking, soldiers from outside came in with knives, and several of them surrounded Xiangying and Xiechen.
Xiangying narrowed her eyes.
These people came with bad intentions, and it seemed that she was going to take action again.
Jie Chen protected Xiang Ying behind him and said in a cold tone: "Vice general, what do you mean?"
Deputy General: "Xiangying has caused a lot of turmoil along the way and has martial arts skills. Due to her special status, I have to kill her to enforce discipline in the team."
"Otherwise, the group of Western Zhou prisoners led by you will soon rebel."
Jie Chen protected Xiang Ying and refused to give in: "What if I say no?"
"You dare to stop me?" The deputy general's tone also became evil.
He wished that Jie Chen would disobey him now, so that he would have a legitimate reason to dismiss him.
The general pays more attention to Jie Chen than he imagined. This is a person who will threaten his status.
The deputy general had already planned to deal with Jie Chen on the way.
Xiangying secretly touched the knife in her sleeve: "Then stop talking nonsense to them and just do it."
However, Jie Chen held her wrist tightly and signaled her not to act recklessly.
Because, even if these few people in the camp are eliminated, there are still thousands of armored soldiers outside.
With him and Xiang Ying, there would be a heavy price to pay to break out of the siege.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves clattering outside.
"Urgent order from the general!"
A messenger with three tassels broke into the tent, holding a black-feathered letter that only the general could give orders to.
"Bring it to me quickly. No, I can't see clearly now. Jie Chen, look for me!" The deputy general became nervous.
When the general issued an order at this time, could he have some instructions?
Jie Chen stepped forward, opened the letter, and just glanced at it, as if he knew the content in advance.
He looked at the deputy general: "The general said in the letter that Xiang Ying had made great achievements in curing the plague. He should be spared his life and removed from the shackles."
"What!?" The deputy general couldn't believe it.
Will the general send messengers from 800 miles away for a princess who has lost her country alone?
Xiangying was also slightly surprised. She looked at Jie Chen, who happened to look back at her. His thin eyes were filled with reliable reassurance.
"No one can take Xiang Ying's life, including you, deputy general."
