Chapter 173: If I can’t deal with Xiangying, I can’t deal with you?
Jie Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so crazy?"
Xiangying relayed what Aren said.
She analyzed in a deep voice: "South Vietnam should be the same as the Western Zhou Dynasty. Princes are not allowed to raise private soldiers. Everything must be done openly and let the emperor know."
"But if the sixth prince really secretly hoards weapons, they will definitely be used against you. After all, it is not his turn to fight for power now. The emperor of South Vietnam is in his prime."
"Let's take his stuff and see how he bullies you."
Jie Chen looked into her eyes seriously.
When Xiangying speaks in high spirits, the ends of his eyes will turn up slightly, like a calculating little fox.
But she doesn't have the charm of a fox. What she does have is the tenacity to move forward no matter what she decides.
"You are so capable, why haven't you thought about running away?" Jie Chen suddenly asked.
Xiangying was startled: "Why should I run? I followed you along the way and lived very comfortably."
Jie Chen pursed his lips: "After going to South Vietnam, everything will be no longer up to you. You know it very well."
Xiangying burst into laughter.
"Yeah, I know it very well."
Know exactly how much to scavenge.
South Vietnam must be very rich after taking so many things.
The famine had just begun, and she was worried about having nowhere to stock up.
She had already reached Meicheng, and after two more states, she could enter the capital, the heart of South Vietnam. Why did she give up suddenly?
Jie Chen's eyes were so complicated that she couldn't understand them.
What is he worried about?
Do you think she will go to South Vietnam and be bullied?
"Jie Chen," she reached out and hooked his little finger, "Don't be afraid, I'm more capable than you think. Now, how about we take away all the Sixth Prince's weapons and give you some relief?"
Xiangying couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the sixth prince looking at the empty cave.
After a brief silence, Xie Chen nodded: "Okay."
Stay with her one last time.
Xiangying planned to take Aren with him and let him lead the way. At first Jiechen disagreed, worried that Aren would tell the truth, but Xiangying believed that Aren would not.
In addition, they are not as familiar with the surrounding mountainous terrain as Aren.
Therefore, the exiled team rested on the spot. Xie Chen took Xiang Ying to explore the way ahead, and left with four personal guards and A Ren.
After they left, Skinny Monkey asked the cook to set up the pot and prepare lunch.
Before Xiangying left, he left dry food for Taoxue and the others. They were going to have chili-fried pork rice bowl with vinegar-glazed shredded potatoes for lunch.
As soon as Xiang Li was helped out of the carriage by Lin Lingxiang, he heard the sound of beatings not far away.
He looked up and saw Xiang Qianqian curled up on the ground, covering her head, being punched and kicked by two water bandits.
Xiang Li frowned: "What are you doing!"
He walked away quickly, and Lin Lingxiang was too late to stop him.
The water bandit turned around and saw Xiang Li, knowing that he was Xiang Ying's brother, so he respected him.
"Your Highness," they clasped their fists and pointed at Xiang Qianqian, "this woman stole our things."
Xiang Li frowned and looked down, only to see a piece of naan cake being protected in Xiang Qianqian's trembling body.
She wept and her voice was confused: "Brother, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry... Leave me alone and let them beat me to death."
The heart cannot bear to be apart.
At this moment, Lu Peiyi came over: "What happened?"
As soon as the two water bandits explained, Lu Beiyi cupped his fists and apologized to Xiang Li.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry with me and my two brothers. It's a rule set by me. No one among us can steal, and we can't be polite when faced with others stealing."
After spending these days together, Lin Lingxiang has figured out Xiang Li's character.
The prince is gentle and tolerant, good at both civil and military affairs, and has a soft heart. Therefore, when the Western Zhou Dynasty was not destroyed, he was called a benevolent king by the courtiers.
It's a pity that such kindness now is definitely not worth it when facing Xiang Qianqian.
Lin Lingxiang speculated and said: "Your Highness, if you can't bear to see the fifth princess being humiliated, how about we give her our lunch?"
"As for other things, I definitely can't help more. You see, the eldest princess is leading a family as big as ours, and she has a hard time."
After hearing Lin Lingxiang's words, Xiang Qianqian froze for a moment as she trembled, and a trace of venomous hatred flashed in her eyes.
Xiangli sighed softly.
"A Ying has really worked hard. I hate that as an elder brother, I can't protect my sisters."
He handed over to Lu Beiyi and said politely: "Mr. Lu, Qianqian is my sister after all. It is her fault that she stole things. You have beaten her before. I will teach her not to steal anymore. Please let her go." ”
Lu Peiyi glanced at Xiang Qianqian.
He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and then bowed: "His Royal Highness, you are humble. We will naturally listen to your words."
As he said that, he looked sideways at the two water bandits: "Still not letting go?"
They then shook off the big palms that were holding Xiang Qianqian down. After Xiang Qianqian was freed, he immediately ate the naan cakes with big mouthfuls.
That hungry and anxious look made Xiang Li feel unbearable.
"Fifth sister, today is different from the past. You must never be the same as before. Otherwise, no one can protect you when you get to the capital of Nanyue."
Xiang Qianqian shed tears: "Brother Prince, I have known that I was wrong for a long time. Now I am a child without a mother. I only have you and my eldest sister, but my eldest sister has never forgiven me... Can you and eldest sister for me?" Say something nice?”
"I can do anything for her. I'm not afraid of getting dirty or tired. As long as you are willing to give me a bite of food, woo woo."
She wiped her pale and thin cheeks.
Lin Lingxiang spoke on his behalf, with a serious tone.
"Fifth Princess, please don't embarrass Your Highness the Crown Prince. Now the eldest princess is responsible for the food and accommodation of many of us, which is hard work."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been thinking about how to reduce the pressure on the eldest princess. How could there be another one like you? Furthermore, the deputy general is kind and did not let his subordinates harsh the food of the prisoners."
"If you are willing to line up well, you can also get hot porridge and pickles every day. People have to fight for their own lives, and it is not just a matter of crying that can attract others to sympathize and take care of themselves."
Xiang Qianqian felt even more aggrieved by what she said, and she was about to cry.
She looked at Xiangli: "Brother Prince, do you miss me too?"
Xiangli sighed: "What Miss Lin means is what I mean. I will have my lunch delivered to you later. As for the future, Qianqian, you can take care of yourself."
Lin Lingxiang helped him leave.
As everyone knows, Xiang Qianqian stared at Lin Lingxiang's back, gritting his teeth secretly.
She couldn't deal with Xiangying, but couldn't she do anything with Lin Lingxiang?
Do you think that by serving Xiang Li, you can control her, Xiang Qian Qian? Delusion!
at this time.
Xiangying and Xiechen have followed Aren up the mountain.
Aren pointed to the cave above: "It's right up there. You have to climb vines to get up."
Xiangying thought for a moment: "You wait here for us while I go to Xie Chen."
As soon as she grabbed the vine, Xie Chen handed her a dagger.
He said: "Be prepared, just in case."
Xiangying took it and put it on his waist.
Jie Chen had to go up first to avoid being in danger and not being able to protect Xiang Ying in time.
One after another, they climbed up the rock along the vines, and a big hole suddenly appeared in front of them.
Xiangying took out a fire stick and lit it to ensure that there was oxygen in the cave.
The two walked about twenty meters, and finally, the firelight illuminated a mountain of cold weapons!
Xiangying's eyes lit up.
There should be 20,000 of them here, right?
