Chapter 170 You took advantage of others’ danger!
Xiangying suddenly lost his mind about swimming.
She walked up wetly, and Jie Chen glanced at her.
He didn't look surprised, he obviously knew Xiang Ying was here.
However, Xiangying treated him like nothing.
She took out a robe as if no one was watching and wrapped it tightly around her body.
Her dark wet hair was dripping with water. Xiangying was about to leave, but Jie Chen couldn't help but speak first.
"Do you know Lu Biyi well enough to trust him and leave your child to him?"
Before going to bed tonight, the three children wanted to hear Lu Biyi talk about his past experiences. The little ones listened to these as stories.
Therefore, Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang fell asleep next to Lu Biyi. Xiang Xiuxiu also wanted to stay, but she still had the reserve of a girl, so she let Taoxue hug her back.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen even noticed this.
Xiangying paused in his steps and turned his head to look back, his phoenix eyes floating up and down with sparkling water.
"What is my relationship with the deputy general? My child will naturally worry about it, so I won't bother the deputy general."
Jie Chen frowned slightly, his handsome and straight face even more frozen.
If he is colder, Xiangying will be colder than him!
Xiangying was about to leave when he suddenly caught a rustling movement in the nearby woods.
Jie Chen also heard it, and without waiting for Xiangying's reaction, he pulled her and stepped into the water.
Xiangying stretched out her palms to push him away, but was hugged tightly by Jie Chen.
"Shh." He put his index finger on his lips and pulled Xiangying behind a big rock.
They used the stones to hide their figures, but they happened to be able to see a group of people sneaking down the hillside in front of them.
It seemed that they came over from the opposite hillside. If they continued walking forward, they would see the camp of the exile team.
Xiangying frowned.
Who are these people? Looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like a bandit, but like an ordinary person.
Is it really what Aren said, that there was a group of hungry refugees ahead, and they learned that they were a team carrying supplies, so they came to steal things?
Judging from the number of people, there are quite a few.
Xiangying wanted to take a closer look, but she didn't expect that when those people came down the hillside, they saw the deep pool here.
They were overjoyed and walked over quickly.
If Xie Chen and Xiang Ying go out now, they will definitely be surrounded by these people.
There are so many of them, there are seventy or eighty people!
If they were really refugees affected by the disaster, they must have come prepared today.
As soon as a fierce light flashed across Xiangying's eyes, she was held down by Jie Chen and got into the water.
Jie Chen held Xiangying's waist with one hand and grabbed the stone in the pool with the other hand.
Under the water, Xiangying's complexion became fairer, like a piece of finely carved jade.
Her black hair floated like algae beside her delicate face, her delicate eyebrows, and her lips that were soft to kiss...
Seeing this, Jie Chen suddenly came back to his senses.
What is he thinking about?
At this time, the refugees next to the waterhole were already excited.
"There is no water at all in front, but there is such a big pool in this mountain."
They frantically buried their faces in the water and drank heavily.
Since the famine, water sources have become increasingly scarce and there is less food to eat!
Someone excitedly suggested: "There must be fish in this pool. How about we jump in and catch a few?"
Xiangying was charged in Jiechen's arms, and the two of them looked up at the figures reflected on the shore.
They seemed about to jump off.
There was a cold light in the depths of Xiangying's eyes, and she slowly took out a dagger.
If these people dared to jump down, she would kill them like fish.
Xiangying, who has been trained in the apocalypse, knows one thing: strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster. However, the refugees who were about to jump into the water were stopped.
The others said: "Let's go to the camp over there first to see if there is anything to eat. During the day, our people have been scouting around and tracking them. Their food and grass are all placed in the rear team. If they can be snatched up, it will be quick."
After everyone discussed it, they decided to rob the exile team first.
Now that famine is raging and the government doesn't care about their life or death, then they have to fight on their own!
Everyone took out their kettles, filled them with water, and then left quietly.
Xiangying and the others had limited vision, so they were not sure whether these people had gone far or not.
However, I held my breath for too long, and Xiangying's water quality was so good that I couldn't bear it anymore.
She patted Jie Chen on the shoulder, pointed at herself, and then at the water surface.
It means that she has to go up first.
However, Jie Chen's thin eyes were deep and filled with cold blackness.
He stretched out his hand to hold Xiangying's face and kissed her.
Xiangying was stunned, and before she had time to react, Jie Chen had already come over.
The kiss between the two went from a simple touch to a deep entanglement.
Finally, Xiangying dragged him upward and surfaced, and then he was sure that those people had left.
She gasped softly: "Are you taking advantage of others' danger?"
Water drops slid down Jie Chen's high eyebrows. He had long eyebrows and looked unparalleled in the moonlight.
"I'm clearly here to help you. I just don't understand good people's hearts. Why slander you?" He pretended to be cold.
Xiangying snorted at him secretly.
"The deputy general really says one thing and does another. He was so cold to me before, and he cares about my life and death under the water. The man is so deep in his heart that he can't understand."
Jie Chen glanced at her, his stern face showing some complicated emotions.
Was he the first to be cold?
Isn't this her request?
"You can't understand because you have never seriously thought about my words, but you responded to every word Lu Biyi said."
Jie Chen suddenly reached out and held Xiangying's wrist, letting her hand rest on the scar on his chest.
There is a scar very close to the heart opening.
Xiangying knows.
Jie Chen said in a cold voice: "It's just that he has scars on his body, and you just looked at him for a long time. Is he that good-looking? Why don't you look at mine?"
After saying that, he let go of her hand and turned to go ashore.
Xiangying chased him and said: "I didn't look at his scar specifically. Besides, why didn't I look at your scar? I kissed you..."
Before she could finish her words, the two of them heard someone screaming.
Immediately afterwards, noisy fighting sounds rang out in the silent night, and fire came from the direction where the exiles were stationed.
Xiangying and Xiechen looked at each other, and their expressions immediately became calm. They set off in tacit agreement and ran back one after the other.
Some tents in the team were set on fire, and the horses neighed in fright, running back and forth among the crowd, kicking down many soldiers and prisoners, which was very dangerous.
Jie Chen set off signal fireworks, allowing the chaotic soldiers to find their direction instantly. They lined up their troops and began to fight back.
The prisoners who had been captured by King Xuan before also took advantage of the chaos to hurt others. The prisoners were so frightened that they ran around, screaming and crying one after another.
"Taoxue! Taoxue!" Xiangying shouted her name everywhere.
Until she saw Taoxue being dragged by two men not far away and about to be thrown down the hillside.
Xiangying's eyes suddenly turned red, she grabbed the dagger and rushed forward.
Like a leopard flying over, she kicked one of them down, and at the same time pierced the other's heart with a dagger.
Taoxue was pulled up by her and cried: "The little princess was just dragged away by a frightened horse!"
