Chapter 113: Wan Xiechen learned bad things from her
Xiangying laughed: "I know, so I'm just being polite."
Jie Chen let her go with a cold face: "I know you are a very ruthless woman."
Although his tone was cold, he obviously knew Xiangying was joking with him.
She is serious and is not afraid of being submerged in the river. Jie Chen has seen her skills in the water.
When I think of the word kung fu, I can't help but think of her teasing just now.
Xie Chen's ears turned red quietly.
But just now Xiangying was pulled closer by him, and now she was unconsciously leaning on his shoulder.
Feeling the warmth and softness of his body made Xie Chen feel like he was close to live coals, causing his whole body to feel hot.
He ducked slightly to the side, his throat rolling up and down: "Sit still."
Xiangying didn't notice the change in his mood, she just sat upright and crossed her legs.
She couldn't help but ask: "So you still have a backup plan, right?"
Based on her understanding of Jie Chen, it was impossible for him to be caught honestly.
Jie Chen closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, but his voice became hoarse for some reason: "No."
Xiangying tutted: "Then it's better for me to go to Shenjiang."
The two of them fell into silence.
On the wall outside, torches made a crackling sound.
Xie Chen didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly asked: "Did they not torture you before going to prison?"
"No," Xiangying answered, then suddenly realized, "Did they beat you?"
"No." Jie Chen responded coldly.
However, Xiangying didn’t believe it.
Xie Chen must have thought that she had received the same treatment as him, so he asked that question.
She looked up and down at Jie Chen and saw that he was still wearing his usual black outfit.
There is indeed something wrong with the color of the clothes on the back.
Xiangying reached out and touched it. It was wet.
She immediately frowned and rolled up his clothes.
Jie Chen frowned: "Let go."
However, Xiangying had already seen his injuries.
There were whip marks all over his back, at least seven or eight.
"They used martial law on you?"
Jie Chen said nothing.
Xiangying was so smart that he immediately guessed: "You bailed me out of prison, and the general beat me, right?"
If it was because of the theft of the granary, then Xiangying would have received the same treatment before being imprisoned.
But she was not beaten, so the injuries on Jie Chen's body must have been caused by trying to keep her out of prison.
Jie Chen put down his clothes with his backhand and said with a cold expression: "It has nothing to do with you."
Xiang Ying pressed his hand: "It's related, it's hot summer now, if you leave these injuries alone, they will fester in a few days."
"I just happened to have a bottle of medicine with me. I gave it to my brother before. Now I'll take care of it for you. Don't touch it."
Jie Chen didn't move anymore and let Xiangying roll up his shirt.
The hideous scars on her back were exposed. She first used a handkerchief to dip iodine in the space and wiped it clean for Jie Chen.
He took out the wound hemostatic medicine and sprinkled it evenly.
Xie Chen suddenly asked coldly: "You won't apply chili powder to me like you did to the deputy general, right?"
Xiangying subconsciously said: "No, you are different from him."
Immediately, she heard Jin Chen sneer, as if he had guessed that she had done it.
Xiangying was not afraid to tell the truth, because she knew that although Jie Chen seemed cold to her, he was actually quite tolerant.
"How did you know it was me?"
"You know, no one else in the entire military camp would dare to do such a retaliatory move except you."
Xiangying curled her lips, not convinced, but admitted it.
Jie Chen tilted his head, his eyes dark and gloomy: "But I am very curious, how did you hurt him and take away all his things at the same time? Do you have help?"
Xiangying frowned secretly and used a little force on purpose.
Jie Chen groaned in pain. "I have no helpers. I have to rely on myself. If I want to blame him, I blame him for being stung by a wasp and not being able to see."
At this point, Xiangying leaned over and said in Jie Chen's ear: "Didn't you say that everyone has unexplainable reasons?"
"If I don't tell you, don't ask."
Jie Chen turned his head and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, their lips touched lightly!
For just a brief moment, both of them were stunned.
Totally didn't expect this.
The next second, Xiangying and Xiechen separated like springs.
Jie Chen's ears felt hot, and there were waves in his cold and cold eyes.
He seemed a little annoyed: "Why are you so close?"
Xiangying retorted: "Who knew you would suddenly look back!"
It was already late, so the two simply sat in the corner to rest.
Xiangying felt a little sleepy, so she said directly: "I fell asleep."
After a while, the sound of her even breathing was heard.
Jie Chen looked sideways at her huddled back and didn't know what to say.
She just slept with peace of mind. Even if the general would send news tomorrow and wanted to sink them into the river, she was really not afraid at all.
Jie Chen slowly moved his body in her direction and sat closer.
Then he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
In the middle of the night, Su Xiucai led someone into the cell and saw Xiangying lying on her back next to Jie Chen.
And Jie Chen also closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
Su Xiucai motioned to the people behind him to follow him and leave first.
When they got outside, their subordinates were puzzled: "We don't care about the master anymore? Didn't we agree to take him out tonight?"
"No need to ask, I already know that the master is not leaving now. He will definitely stay until tomorrow and face Xiangying together."
After saying this, the sour scholar shook his head and sighed: "You and I have been following the master for a long time, and we are not as sharp as that skinny monkey. Maybe we will have a real sister-in-law!"
A group of people came in the dark of night and returned under the moonlight.
The next day.
When Xiangying woke up, Jie Chen was already standing at the door of the cell, looking outside.
She moved her shoulders. Last night when Jie Chen was around, she couldn't take out the bedding from the space and spread it on the ground.
It caused my whole body to feel sore while sleeping.
Xiangying stretched his muscles a little and asked, "Did the general send someone here?"
Jie Chen looked back at her, his expression cold and cold: "Are you still looking forward to being thrown into the river?"
Xiangying walked up to him: "I'm afraid you'll plead guilty behind my back."
Jie Chen pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze: "Someone will be here soon, so be prepared."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers came over there, holding keys and looking menacing.
They unlocked the door and loosened the chain for Xie Chen first.
When Xiang Ying saw this, she immediately frowned: "If the general wants to arrest Shen Jiang, I will go and don't arrest him."
She stretched out her hand to stop others from taking Jie Chen away.
The soldiers raised their heads and stared at her: "You... if you don't let us unlock the shackles, how can we let you out?"
"Get out?" Xiangying was stunned.
She looked at Jie Chen, who looked at her with interest.
It seemed like he knew they would be fine.
After the soldiers unshackled them and took them out, they were really allowed to leave on their own.
He also said that the general had caught the person who stole the food.
Xiangying looked at Jie Chen's calm expression and couldn't help but said: "You already knew that we were fine?"
"Yeah." Jie Chen didn't deny it.
Xiangying put her hands on her hips: "Then you didn't say anything and still asked me to prepare!?"
Xie Chen gave a rare smile and glanced at her: "I asked you to prepare yourself to be released. What's the problem?"
Xiangying was choked by him and was speechless.
Did Xie Chen follow her bad example and learn how to deliberately tease her?
He took her wrist: "Don't be in a daze, they are waiting for us outside."
