Chapter 134 Sheep-taking Ceremony?
When Ke Jianjun heard this, he frowned and thought deeply.
"This is not good."
Although he doesn't agree with some of Xiangying's actions, they are a team.
When Jie Chen was not around, he drove Xiang Ying and the water bandits out. Wasn't this bullying other girls?
Besides, Xiangying may not be willing.
If a dispute breaks out and she doesn't want to, wouldn't she have to take action?
Ke Jianjun thought about how many blows he could withstand from Xiangying.
Of course Zhao Yushi didn't know what Ke Jianjun was thinking, so she tried her best to persuade him.
"Ke Jianjun, after spending this day together, I found that the soldiers are very resentful towards Xiang Ying."
"Why do you say that?"
"If she hadn't caught those red shrimps to eat first, no one would have thought of drinking the water in the pond. She is the cause of the current illness."
Ke Jianjun pursed his lips: "I can't blame her for this. We saw that there was a water source here and were stationed here."
Zhao Yushi didn't expect that Ke Jianjun usually seemed dissatisfied with Xiang Ying, but when he was really asked to punish her, he refused to say anything.
He even started to defend Xiangying!
This ungrateful man, Zhao Yushi cursed in her heart.
At this time, Xiang Qianqian's frail figure approached.
"Supervisor," she said with a soft voice, "the city guard heard that Zhao's sister is good at curing diarrhea, so he sent someone to invite her into the city."
Zhao Yushi took the opportunity to attack and decided to force Ke Jianjun.
"Have the supervisors heard this? Now the city guard has to wait for my treatment. The people on Xiangying's side are so seriously ill. If they cause me to fall ill, what will happen to me then?"
Ke Jianjun frowned and still didn't let go.
Seeing this, Xiang Qianqian stepped forward and said, "Jianjun, I think the Zhao family sister is right. Besides, temporarily moving the eldest sister and the others away from here is not harming them."
"On the contrary, this is to protect them. Only when our soldiers' illnesses are cured will we be free to take care of them. Do you think that's right, Supervisor?"
Supervisor Ke nodded slightly when he heard this: "That's fine, but since Xiangying is a prisoner, I can't drive her too far away."
If she ran away, who would he ask to reason with? Xie Chen wouldn't be able to tear her apart when he came back.
Xiang Qianqian was thoughtful and came up with an idea.
"How about driving them to the hillside to the north? It's not far away, and the supervisor can arrange people to patrol every day."
"The hillside to the north?" Ke Jianjun recalled, "Isn't there just an abandoned sheepfold over there?"
Xiang Qianqian smiled: "Exactly, why did the supervisor hesitate? Isn't it because he thinks that doing this is belittling her?"
Zhao Yushi answered in a strange tone from the side: "Xiangying is originally a female prisoner."
Ke Jianjun glanced at her.
He wanted to remind Zhao Yushi that she was also a female prisoner and was no better than Xiangying.
Another soldier came over, saying that people sent by the city guard were urging him.
"Master City Guard is very ill and is waiting for sister Zhao to come to rescue him. Supervisor, please come up with an idea quickly," Xiang Qianqian urged.
When Ke Jianjun thought about Jie Chen handing over the team to him, he could only grit his teeth and nod: "Okay!"
He called the soldiers: "Instruct Xiangying to move with fifty water bandits and camp on the northern hillside."
"Arrange another group of soldiers to keep an eye on them and don't let them go too far."
Zhao Yushi and Xiang Qianqian looked at each other, and both of them suppressed their laughter.
The news reached Xiangying's ears.
Several water bandits squatting next to her drinking water almost smashed the pot.
"Are you done? Do you really not regard us as human beings?" "When the sheep pen came from the north, the deputy general looked there and said that we couldn't camp there at all. The ground was full of sheep excrement and rocks. You let us sleep on it. ?”
The water bandits said something to each other and pushed the soldiers who came to deliver the message.
Of course the South Vietnamese soldiers would not tolerate them.
He directly drew his sword and threatened: "This is what Supervisor Ke means. You group of prisoners still dare to make noise?"
Lu Beiyi's eyes were heavy and he didn't speak, and glanced at Xiang Ying from the corner of his eye.
Xiangying was still playing happily. When she finished the last bite of meat, she clapped her hands and stood up.
"Come on, pack your things, let's move up there."
Several water bandits were stunned: "Boss, do you really listen to them? It's impossible to set foot on the northern hillside."
"Yes, boss, and we live in a sheepfold, don't we treat us as livestock?"
Xiang Ying didn't say anything, and Lu Beiyi stood up directly: "Stop talking nonsense, do as the boss told you, pack your things, and carry those brothers who can't walk."
After a while, the South Vietnamese soldiers saw Xiangying and others packing up their bunks and heading towards the northern hillside.
The three little ones were led by Taoxue and Qi Fengyi, and followed Xiangying.
Xiang Xiuxiu asked curiously: "Why do you want us to move away? Why don't they leave?"
Taoxue said angrily: "The hearts of these people are too dark. They are afraid that we will infect them with diarrhea. When the deputy general comes back, they will look good!"
Xiang Qianqian, Concubine Shu and several concubines and princesses stood on the roadside, watching Xiang Ying move away.
Concubine Shu deliberately raised her voice: "Qianqian, there is one of the most humiliating punishments in the world, called the sheep-raising ceremony."
"The captives are required to be naked, covered with sheepskins, with ropes tied around their necks, and led like sheep, which symbolizes that surrenderers are slaughtered like sheep."
"The first step in the sheep-taking ceremony is to put the prisoners in the sheepfold. Oh my, if the eldest princess goes back now, isn't it equivalent to being insulted?"
Xiang Qianqian glanced at Xiang Ying and said in a regretful tone: "Concubine, don't say that...Eldest sister was also forced to do so."
She expected to see any look of sadness or fear on Xiangying's face.
However, Xiangying passed by her like that, ignoring them as if he didn't hear what they were saying.
It wasn't until she was far away that Concubine Shu said in surprise: "Something's wrong. Is she still the eldest princess I know? She can be so tolerant."
In the past, Xiangying and the queen could have a big fight with just a few provocations.
Driving a wedge between mother and daughter was Concubine Shu's favorite thing in the past.
Unexpectedly, Xiangying has changed her gender now, and even a few words of provocation cannot anger her at all.
Xiang Qianqian hummed: "Concubine, maybe she is just holding back. I'm afraid she also knows that the deputy general is not here and there is no one to support her, so she doesn't dare to act recklessly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Qianqian turned around, only to find that many female prisoners were packing up and leaving.
Xiang Qianqian stopped the seventh princess Xiang Rongrong.
"Seventh sister? You also want to live in the sheepfold with your eldest sister?"
"I will go wherever eldest sister goes." Xiang Rongrong pushed her away, "Don't block the way!"
Not only her, but also the family of Master Chu, the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, and the family of Mr. Lin, the supervisor of Qintian Prison, also want to follow Xiang Ying.
Xiang Qianqian was surprised: "You..."
Concubine Shu sneered: "Let them go. The sheepfold stinks to heaven and is not a place for people to live. They are willing to humiliate themselves. Why should we care?"
Soon, when Supervisor Ke led another inspection, he found that out of the three hundred people in the exile team, there were actually more than a hundred people who voluntarily followed Xiang Ying.
Xiangying arrived at the sheepfold and looked at the scene in front of her.
She couldn't help but click her tongue.
The environment was better than she imagined.
