What to do when she’s favoring handsome men and suddenly learns of national ruin and family destruction, becoming a Fallen Princess?
Xiang Ying stated that, of course, she would immediately u...
Chapter 28: Fool, there’s an earthquake!
Xiang Ying followed Xiang Qianqian all the way to the end of the exile team.
This is the location of the entire team's food and fodder, and is guarded by special soldiers.
Xiangying used a horse-drawn cart carrying food and fodder to hide himself.
She glanced sideways and saw that all the soldiers were resting nearby.
Only Scarface was silently counting the amount of food and grass.
When he saw Xiang Qianqian coming, Scarface just had a cold expression and said nothing.
The action of sorting out the food and grass never stopped.
Xiang Qianqian stepped forward and said, "Scar Master, I'm here to say sorry to you on behalf of my elder sister."
Xiangying frowned when he heard this.
Who does she think she is!
Xiang Ying wanted to hear what shameless words Xiang Qianqian could say.
Seeing that Scarface ignored her, Xiang Qianqian's eyes moved slightly and continued, "We didn't expect that you would be demoted by the military supervisor to guard the grain here."
"Ah! It's all my fault. When Concubine Yang and Big Sister started arguing, I should have stopped them."
"Who would have thought that now Concubine Yang is half dead, and my elder sister is also angry, and even caused you, Scar Master, to be punished."
Perhaps it was because her tone was too pretentious that Scarface frowned in dissatisfaction.
He stopped what he was doing and said in a rough voice, "Are you done yet? You keep buzzing in my ears. What are you talking about?"
"It's my own decision to stop being a captain and come to look after the rations. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Besides, since I lost to the criminal Xiangying, then I lost. I'm a man, I can't afford to lose!"
"Get out of here! Otherwise, I might be rude to you."
Xiang Qianqian originally wanted to say something nice in order to get some dry food.
Who would have thought that this scarred man would be so stubborn!
She twisted the handkerchief tightly: "You... forget it, since you don't appreciate it, then goodbye!"
Xiang Qianqian turned and left.
Scarface spat, then bent down and continued to tie up the food and fodder on the wooden cart.
There was a rustling noise coming from behind him.
"Who!" Scarface turned around suddenly and looked.
Under the cover of night, Xiangying crossed his legs and sat on the grain and grass that was closer to him.
Scarface was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and roared with his neck thick, "Get down! Who allowed you to sit on it?"
Xiangying shook his feet gently: "You are a real man. I am impressed by you."
"But let me guess. You asked the military supervisor to see the food. You didn't think it was shameful to lose to me? That's why you don't want to continue to be our captain?"
Scarface clenched his fists: "Whatever decision I make is none of your business!"
Xiangying raised an eyebrow.
He is quite fierce.
"You were right? What's the big deal about losing to me? As the saying goes, a man has a big butt..."
"Who do you say has a big butt?" Scarface's forehead was bulging with veins from anger.
Xiangying raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I remembered it wrong. A man should be a man. If he loses, he loses. Why does he care whether the other person is a man or a woman?"
Scarface gnashed his teeth and said, "What do you know? You are a woman. I am a man who has been to the battlefield. If I lose to a woman in a fistfight, others will laugh at me for the rest of my life!"
"What's wrong with being a woman?" Xiangying retorted, "Your mother is also a woman. She gave birth to you. Isn't she powerful?"
Scarface paused and looked sour.
He was not good at speaking and could not win the argument against the educated princess.
"Get out of here! Stop making trouble here. I'm not the military supervisor and I won't fall for it." Scarface turned his back and continued to collect food and fodder.
Xiangying raised his eyebrows.
She was about to speak when the horses around her raised their hooves and neighed.
All the horses became restless, and a large number of night birds in the woods suddenly flapped their wings and flew up.
Scarface turned around suddenly and said fiercely, "How dare you make trouble? Why are you scaring our horses?"
Xiangying jumped down from the food and said sternly, "Fool, there's going to be an earthquake, why don't you hurry up and call for help!"
After she said that, she hurried back to where the children were.
However, after taking only a few steps, the heaven and earth began to shake.
The mountain under my feet is like the waves, rising and falling!
Xiangying lost his balance and tripped in an instant.
The horses neighed and galloped, dragging food and grass with them, knocking down many panicked soldiers along the way.
Xiang Yuanxiao woke up first, and he immediately shook his younger brothers and sisters around him.
"Hurry up, the earth dragon is turning over!"
There were screams of panic all around.
Lin Lingxiang pulled the wooden cart away and said, "Your Highness, let's go!"
Xiangli was about to say that he could walk by himself, but it was futile for him to even stand up.
He looked around, his face pale: "Aying! Aying, where have you been?"
Tao Xue also shouted: "Your Highness the Princess!"
Xiang Yuanxiao said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't wait, let's go first. She said that if we encounter danger, we must ensure our own safety first, and she will come to find us!"
After saying that, he grabbed another rope with his little hand and helped Lin Lingxiang drag the separated wooden cart and run to a more open place.
I don't know if Jie Chen had already given orders to the soldiers, but when the earthquake occurred, all the captains and soldiers were only panicked for a moment, and then they divided the work and cooperated, and everything was in order.
They kept surrounding the crowd on both sides, gathering the prisoners and driving them to a safer place.
My ears were filled with the screams of the prisoners and the sound of soldiers wielding whips.
Someone ran around without thinking and was kicked in the chest by a frightened horse.
The prisoners pushed each other, and some of them fell to the ground because their legs went weak. The orderly scene suddenly became chaotic.
The three little ones, Xiangli, Lin Lingxiang and others were also scattered by the panicked crowd.
Jie Chen walked against the flow among the fleeing people and only saw Tao Xue hugging Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang tightly.
He immediately walked over and picked up the two children with his big hands.
Tao Xue cried with tears streaming down her face: "Military Supervisor! The eldest princess is missing, and the little princess is also missing! And the crown prince and Miss Lin..."
Xie Chen didn't say anything and asked Tao Xue to take the two children to take shelter in the front immediately.
Xiang Yuanxiao struggled desperately: "Let me go! I want to find my sister!"
He and Xiang Yuanlang were about to escape, but were knocked unconscious by Jie Chen's palm.
"Take them there first." Xie Chen said in a deep voice.
Tao Xue quickly wiped away her tears, picked up her two children and ran forward.
At this time, Xiangying was at the end of the exile team.
The soldiers were dragged by the panicked and galloping horses and fled everywhere for their lives.
Xiangying took advantage of the chaos and the absence of anyone to store all the food and grass into the space.
She had just fallen down once, but later she found the pattern of earthquake fluctuations and could walk on the mountain as if it were flat ground.
Just then, someone shouted.
"Run! The cliff is collapsing inwards!"
Xiangying looked back.
The end of the exile team, closest to the cliff.
At this time, the cliff was affected by the earthquake and began to collapse from the outermost layer, rapidly shrinking the distance.
The soldiers immediately abandoned their food and supplies and fled.
Xiangying was about to leave when he saw Scarface stubbornly pulling a horse-drawn cart.
Even at this critical moment, he still cares about the food and fodder in the cart.
Where he was, cracks quickly spread out like snakes, and they kept getting bigger and bigger!
The wooden cart loaded with grain and fodder was very heavy and tilted downward like a weight.
The horse raised its hooves and neighed, but Scarface held on tightly and tried to pull it away, but it was no use.
It looked like it was about to fall off the cliff along with the broken soil!
Sudden!
The soil beneath his feet completely collapsed.
