Chapter 181 You don’t care what I think
Xie Chen deliberately opened the oil paper bag with a cold face.
"Didn't you say that after that time, you were you and I was me, so what does your current behavior mean?"
"Count it as a reward."
After Xiangying finished speaking with a smile, Jie Chen's eyes suddenly turned dark.
Seeing her turn around to wake up the children, he suddenly held her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Xiangying raised her eyebrows and swept her slender eyelashes from top to bottom.
"What does this mean, deputy general?"
"Is it fun to play with me, Xiangying? You can do whatever you want to tease me, and you don't care what I think?"
There were waves in the depths of Jie Chen's thin eyes, as if he was eager to wait for her answer.
However, Xiangying still just smiled: "You were the one who treated me coldly before, and you asked me what I thought?"
She pushed him away, and Jie Chen frowned. He was about to say something about Lu Peiyi when he suddenly heard the voices of the children.
Xiang Xiuxiu hugged the pillow and stood under the crystal bead curtain connecting the two rooms.
She rubbed her eyes: "Mother, what are you doing?"
Xie Chen immediately became serious and put out all the food.
Xiangying walked over and touched the little girl's head.
"Your Uncle Jie Chen was afraid that you would be hungry, so he came here to give you something to eat."
"Wow~" Xiang Xiuxiu ran over and looked up at Xie Chen with admiration, "Uncle Xie, you are indeed my mother's favorite male favorite."
The corners of Jie Chen's thin lips moved, and his eyes were terrifyingly dark, but he never loses his temper with his children.
I can only turn my back: "Your mother is not a princess now, and I am certainly not a man's favorite."
After saying that, he looked sideways at Xiangying: "I have something to do these days, so if I can't come, please take care of yourself."
Jie Chen climbed out of the window and left as quietly as when he came.
Xiangying pulled the other two little ones up to eat.
Xiang Yuanxiao held his belly in confusion and shook his head.
“I can’t eat anymore, I really can’t eat anymore.”
Last night, Xiangying prepared a large plate of chicken, roast goose, and hot pot for them.
Who can eat it now?
When Taoxue heard the noise, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. She was quite touched when she learned that the food was sent by Jie Chen.
"Princess, didn't the deputy general prepare food for us in advance? Why are you here to deliver food?"
Xiangying's red lips pursed into a clear smile: "I'm afraid we're hungry and don't have enough to eat."
She could finally see that Jie Chen was completely arrogant.
He is handsome, has good physical strength, and is like a loyal dog, with a cold face and a warm heart.
Great, she kind of likes it.
I slept until morning.
The Sixth Prince's guard banged on the door.
Xiangying put the egg custard that the children had eaten back under the bed.
Taoxue and Qi Fengyi quickly wiped the mouths of the three little ones.
As soon as Taoxue opened the door, the guards shouted at them: "The prefect's mansion and the military camp were stolen one after another last night, and His Highness the Sixth Prince arranged for us to search!"
After saying that, he pushed Taoxue aside and walked in.
There was a strange aroma wafting throughout the house, like the aroma of meat.
The guard looked around in confusion: "Search everywhere, and don't miss every corner."
"Yes!" the others responded.
Taoxue and Qi Fengyi looked at each other and felt a thump in their hearts.
These guards used their swords to pick things apart and search here and there.
It doesn’t take long to discover the bag of food under the bed.
They turned anxious eyes to Xiangying, but saw her leaning against the doorframe calmly.
"After we moved in last night, we were under strict supervision. It is impossible to even think about this house. There are so many guards surrounding the house. What does the thing lost in your prefecture have to do with us?"
The guard glanced at her coldly: "Two guards suddenly fainted in your yard last night. Do you dare to say you didn't know about it?"
Most likely they were the two that Jie Chen knocked unconscious.
Xiangying crossed her arms and sneered: "What? Two fainted? It must have been you who fainted from hunger."
"Since you are here just in time, I would like to ask, when will you give me food and water?"
"We have already finished the tea delivered yesterday. The three children and us three adults are all hungry. Do you care?"
"You have time to search the house, but no time to deliver water?" she said, stepping forward and grabbing the guard's arm: "How about you stay here and let your colleagues bring food, and then I let you go?" br>
There was a flash of fear in the guard's eyes.
He had heard about the skills of the Princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty. She would not be able to gain favor in a head-to-head encounter.
And now the Sixth Prince is not allowed to hurt her.
So the guards stopped searching and waved their arms away in fear, avoiding Xiangying's grasp.
"The food will naturally be delivered by others," he said, waving his hand, "There is nothing suspicious here, let's go!"
They fled in despair, fearing that Xiangying would be hungry and impatient and leave them behind.
And if the guard just took a few steps forward, he would be able to see a corner of the bundle exposed from under the bed.
Taoxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"My slave's heart is in her throat. It will be bad if they see her."
Xiangying smiled.
She wasn't actually afraid when she saw it. She had just calculated that there were only seven people who came in to search the room.
Killing or knocking him out is easy.
However, Xiangying didn't plan to expose herself yet, she wanted to wait.
The Sixth Prince must be anxious after losing so many things.
Maybe he would be suspicious of Jie Chen.
As Xiang Ying expected, the Sixth Prince sent people to search the exile team led by Xie Chen on the grounds that he had lost his food and salary.
Not finding their own food and wages, they occupied the food and grass of Xie Chen's team.
The thin monkey wants to go up and argue with them: "This is ours..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was punched down by the Sixth Prince's trusted guard.
"What's yours and mine, these are all from South Vietnam. On the orders of the Emperor, His Highness the Sixth Prince is here to supervise and inspect each exile team. Since the main exile team's food and grass are now lost, you should contribute your own. From now on, the food will be provided by His Highness the Sixth Prince. Uniform distribution.”
The thin monkey clenched his fist and yelled: "Why!"
The soldiers behind him also came forward, and everyone was extremely dissatisfied.
Not to be outdone, the Sixth Prince's men pushed the thin monkey: "What, you want to fight? Do you know the consequences of fighting in the military camp?"
"Serious cases will be punished with a military staff of three hundred sticks. Do you dare to try it? Behind me is the Sixth Prince. Who is protecting you behind you?"
Both the thin monkey and the sour scholar were so angry that their veins bulged, but they did not take action.
Because I'm just afraid of causing trouble to Xie Chen.
However, a cold voice came over: "Our rules are that whoever makes trouble first will be punished with a military cane."
Everyone turned to look and saw Jie Chen coming.
The tense atmosphere just now subsided slightly, and the Sixth Prince's men bowed their hands and took a few steps back.
Until Jie Chen walked up to him, he lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Have you obtained my permission before you come to my barracks to carry food and grass?"
The guard of the Sixth Prince said harshly: "This is the order of His Highness the Sixth Prince."
"No one's orders are useful. The exile team escorts prisoners and follows the rules. All orders must be obeyed by the emperor."
After Xie Chen said this, he held down the opponent's neck and pushed towards the thin monkey.
He said coldly: "Beat me and throw it out after you beat it. Tell your highnesses that you can find what you threw away by your own ability. Don't try to snatch it from others to make up for the trouble you caused."
The sixth prince's guard widened his eyes and pointed at Jie Chen: "You are so brave. You are just a deputy general. How can you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was punched down by the thin monkey.
Everyone rallied to attack, venting their anger just now.
Suan Xiucai calmly walked to Jie Chen and whispered: "Master, this is a direct enmity with the Sixth Prince."
Jie Chen's expression remained unchanged, his thin lips pursed in an indifferent tone: "We have been enemies for a long time, and we are not afraid of this one more time."
That afternoon.
Xiangying waited until the little maid came to deliver food.
This time it was a pot of tea.
The little maid saw Xiangying narrowing her eyes, so she was afraid of being implicated and cowered her neck.
She said cautiously: "There's nothing I can do about it. His Highness the Sixth Prince ordered it. They lost food and grass, but the deputy general refused to donate his own food and grass for everyone to use, so you can only starve."
Xiangying laughed.
It seems that the Sixth Prince failed to snatch Jie Chen's things and plans to divert the conflict?
She took the tea with a warm expression: "It's okay, we have enough to drink. Tell the Sixth Prince that we can drink one pot every two days."
After that, she closed the door, leaving the little maid stunned.
What kind of god drinks a pot of water every two days?
evening.
The Sixth Prince sat in his main tent and raised his eyes coldly: "She really said that?"
