Chapter 103 Are You Open or Closed?
We came to the tent where the deputy general stayed last night.
However, this time he learned from last night's lesson and stepped up patrols.
There were six soldiers guarding the tent.
The deputy general was soaking in an ice bucket to relieve the pain. Last night, Xiangying rubbed chili powder and salt on his body, which made his injuries worse than Xiangying expected.
Now, whenever he spoke, his whole face twitched in pain and yellow fluid oozed out from his face.
Xiangying looked indifferent but sighed in his heart.
This deputy general is quite difficult to kill, he is not dead yet.
But now it's scorching hot, and his wounds must be quite painful.
Standing in the tent were Jie Chen and the military supervisor Wei, whose cheeks were red and swollen as if he had been slapped.
At this time, General Wei knelt on the ground, pointing at Xiangying and saying that he was wronged.
"Deputy General, this Xiangying has always been quite skilled. She must have stolen it, and she and Jiechen are blaming me!"
The deputy general didn't believe it at all, but he had seen Xiangying's skills with his own eyes and found that he was indeed agile.
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
There is nothing but silence.
Xiangying was still looking at Jie Chen, with a faint smile in her dark phoenix eyes, waiting for his answer.
The deputy general suddenly became angry: "Xiangying, are you deaf? I'm asking a question!"
Xiangying was stunned for a moment, looked at the deputy general carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Deputy General, you closed your eyes, how do I know you are talking to me."
These words directly stimulated the deputy general's fragile heart.
He slapped the water so hard that he almost stood up. "My eyes are open! Answer me!"
Xiangying said "oh".
It seemed that the wasp sting was too severe, and coupled with her chili powder, it caused him to be completely swollen.
His eyes became a slit, and Xiangying really couldn't tell whether he had his eyes open or not.
"I heard that there were a lot of things lost. I'm just a weak woman with a child. How can I do it?"
"Also, on the way here just now, I saw that this camp was heavily guarded. Even if I really came, how come no one noticed me?"
This is exactly what the deputy general is suspicious of.
Although he didn't believe that it was done by Wei Jianjun, he couldn't find any other evidence to prove that it was Xiangying who did it.
Xiangying saw from the corner of his eye that the deputy general's head was leaning towards Jie Chen.
Although he hadn't spoken yet, Xiangying keenly felt that the deputy general must be suspicious of Li Chen.
Xiangying said bluntly: "As for Jie Jianjun, it is even more impossible. Last night, the two of us were together."
Jie Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at her blankly.
The military supervisor immediately found a flaw and pointed at the two of them, saying, "Deputy General, listen, the two of them are protecting each other, and that's exactly the problem!"
The deputy general wanted to squint his eyes, but no, his eyes were swollen like a pig's head and he couldn't squint.
He could only say angrily: "Xie Chen, tell me the truth, where were you last night?"
General Wei was afraid that Jie Chen was lying.
He stared at Jie Chen, his tone venomous: "Jie Chen, you'd better speak honestly and don't make up lies for her, otherwise, you will be sorry for the dead Tu Kang and those brothers!"
Xie Chen frowned slightly.
"I wasn't with Xiangying last night."
After he finished speaking, Xiangying's expression showed a bit of indifference.
Couldn't Xie Chen see that she was helping him out?
The next second, Jie Chen took out several letters from his arms.
"Last night, I was busy investigating the secret letters sent by the military supervisor. I found these letters in his bag. I haven't found out who he reported our itinerary in detail to yet. Please give me a little more time, Deputy General."
The military inspector suddenly froze, and even the deputy general fell silent.
Xiangying raised his eyebrows and smiled secretly in his heart, thinking this was interesting.
So Xie Chen already knew that Wei Jianjun had betrayed him? He even kept the evidence.
If the deputy general's face wasn't swollen, his expression would have been quite interesting.
"Guardian Jun... could it be my father's men? I heard that my father is still on the run. Could it be that he sent the letter to him?"
Xiangying's phoenix eyes contained a sneer, and she asked gently, but it seemed like a thorn in the hearts of the deputy general and the military inspector.
Even if you pull it out, it will be accompanied by blood.
The military supervisor hurriedly shook his head: "No! I didn't give it to him, Deputy General..."
"Shut up!" The deputy general was afraid that he would give himself away, so he said in a serious voice, "Jie Chen, I will definitely investigate these matters thoroughly. Please leave the letter here."
Xie Chen did not refute and calmly placed the letter on the table beside him.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, the deputy general turned around and angrily scolded Wei Jianjun: "You bastard, you dare to steal my things, and you want to frame Jie Chen and others. Come, drag Wei Jianjun away and tear him into pieces!"
Two soldiers came in immediately and dragged the military inspector out.
"Deputy General! Please spare my life, Deputy General!"
His voice begging for mercy soon stopped with a scream.
Xiangying listened indifferently.
Xie Chen grabbed her arm and said to the deputy general: "After returning, I will also rectify the team's atmosphere. I will also discipline Xiangying. We are leaving first."
"Wait." The deputy general's sinister voice sounded, "You can go, but she has to stay."
As he finished speaking, soldiers outside came in with knives, and several of them surrounded Xiangying and Jiechen.
Xiangying narrowed her eyes.
These people came with ill intentions, and it seemed that she was going to take action again.
Xie Chen protected Xiang Ying behind him and said coldly, "Deputy General, what do you mean?"
Deputy General: "Xiangying has caused a lot of trouble along the way, and she is also a martial arts expert. Due to her special status, I have to kill her to enforce discipline in the team."
"Otherwise, the group of Western Zhou exiles you lead will soon rebel."
Xie Chen protected Xiangying and refused to retreat or give in: "What if I say no?"
"You dare to stop me?" The deputy general's tone also became unfriendly.
He wished that Jie Chen would disobey him now, so that he would have a legitimate reason to dismiss him.
The general's attention to Jie Chen exceeded his imagination. This was someone who would threaten his position.
The deputy general had already planned to deal with Jie Chen on the way.
Xiangying secretly reached for the knife in his sleeve: "Then don't waste time talking to them, just do it."
However, Jie Chen held her wrist tightly, signaling her not to act rashly.
Because, even if these people in the tent were dealt with, there were still thousands of armored soldiers outside.
It would cost him and Xiangying a heavy price to break out of the encirclement.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.
"General's urgent order!"
A messenger with three tassels broke into the tent, holding a black feather letter in his hand that only the general could use to issue orders.
"Bring it to me quickly. No, I can't see it clearly now. Jie Chen, please look at it for me!" The deputy general became nervous.
The general is giving orders at this time. Could it be that he has some instructions?
Jie Chen walked forward, opened the letter, and just glanced at it, as if he knew the contents in advance.
He looked at the deputy general: "The general said in the letter that Xiangying had made great contributions to the treatment of plague, so he should be spared and his shackles removed."
"What!?" The deputy general couldn't believe it.
Would a general send messengers from eight hundred miles away just for a princess of a fallen country?
Xiangying was also slightly surprised. She looked at Jie Chen, who happened to look back at her. His thin eyes were filled with a sense of reliability and peace of mind.
"No one can take Xiangying's life, including you, Vice General."
