Chapter 104 Everything She Has Got Is Thanks to Men
The deputy general was a little bit unconvinced by what Xie Chen said.
He specially called another soldier in to read out the contents of the letter.
At this point, the deputy general was finally convinced that the general knew about Xiangying's treatment of the plague and showed her special mercy.
As an exiled prisoner, she was able to remove the shackles and become a meritorious person. This was simply unheard of.
There is no need to think about it, everyone knows that it must be Jie Chen who reported to the general.
The deputy general failed to use Xiangying to anger Jie Chen, so he could only swallow his anger.
He covered his swollen cheek and waved his hand: "You guys can go, but Xiangying must be honest, otherwise if you fall into my hands again next time, I will never let you off easily!"
Xie Chen nodded, took Xiangying's wrist and left.
When the two men walked out of the camp, they saw soldiers cleaning up a pool of blood on the ground.
The broken body of General Wei was carried away together.
Xiangying looked at Jie Chen in front of her. He was still holding her wrist and didn't let go: "You knew that Wei Jianjun was a spy, why did you stay by his side?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen did not even turn his head and replied coldly: "I also knew you were in danger, but I saved your life anyway, didn't I?"
Xiangying was stunned.
Well, this cannot be refuted.
"Whatever your reason, thank you."
"No need to thank me. I don't want you to die at the hands of the deputy general."
After leaving the camp, Jie Chen pulled her behind a big tree.
Xiangying blinked her slender eyelashes, her phoenix eyes were beautifully outlined and her pupils were pitch black.
"Why are we acting so sneaky? Are we having an affair?" She smiled with her red lips and her tone was a little teasing.
As expected, Xie Chen's ears turned red and his brows knitted together: "I'm not here to mess with you."
He said in a low voice: "You helped me out just now, where were you last night?"
Xiangying looked innocent: "In the tent."
"You're lying," Xie Chen said decisively, "Your attitude towards General Wei changed overnight. Did you take those things and put them in his tent?"
Xiangying raised her eyebrows slightly: "No."
She remained calm and said, "Last night, I saw him sneaking away. I followed him and found that he entered the deputy general's tent. Not long after, he came back with people carrying things."
"Maybe the two of them had colluded to frame us and punish you."
Jie Chen pursed his lips. He had thought about this possibility before.
The general showed great interest in him, which made the deputy general dissatisfied for a long time.
But Xiangying's smile looked so innocent and harmless, with her eyelashes fluttering. Jie Chen always felt that her smile was a little cunning, like a little fox.
"Next time, don't speak up for me rashly. Just take care of yourself and don't cause any more trouble."
He strode forward.
Xiangying followed him and said, "General Jie also went out last night, but it seems he didn't go to the main camp. Where did you go?"
Xie Chen paused for a moment. He didn't have time to figure out where the faint joy in his heart came from. He pretended to be indifferent and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
Xiangying said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Jie Chen frowned calmly. Why didn't she ask anymore? Was it because his answer just now was too cold?
Maybe she just cares.
Xiangying suddenly asked again: "When can I follow you into the city?"
She had already thought out the specific plan for looting the granary.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen said, "You can't follow me into the city to buy things. The general has sent a message before that he will come to inspect the troops in a few days. We will wait for him to come, allocate troops and horses, and then set off."
"During this period, you should show up less in Luzhou City to avoid causing trouble."
Xiangying was stunned.
She is not allowed to enter the city!? Then how can she loot the granary?
Xie Chen waited for a while but didn't hear Xiangying speak.
He looked back and saw that the beautiful woman's eyebrows were frozen in place and her phoenix eyes were flashing with black light, as if she was thinking about something again.
All in all, he didn't look very happy.
Xie Chen's heart softened.
I had promised her a long time ago, and it’s not good to go back on my word now.
So, he nodded: "However, I will give you half a day, you can take Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi to go around the city."
Xiang Ying's eyes lit up and she raised her head decisively: "Really? Can I bring the children too?"
"No children." Jie Chen said firmly, "You can only take two people. You decide for yourself. This is your chance this afternoon. Come back before the evening."
Xiangying blinked: "You won't send someone to follow me?"
Xie Chen was still very calm this time: "No, you can't run away. Even if you run away, I can catch you back."
He is so confident.
As long as Xiangying wants to leave, no one can catch him.
She began to think about who to take into the city.
It is definitely not possible to leave him because his leg has not fully healed yet, so Lin Lingxiang has to arrange to stay with him.
As for the Seventh Princess and Concubine Yu, there is naturally no need to consider them.
The only ones who could be brought into the city were Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi.
Back at the camp, Taoxue and the others were tidying up the damaged tents.
Xiangying waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, come with me. Jie has lent us a carriage and allowed us to go into the city to do some shopping for half a day."
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi were extremely surprised, and the three little ones rushed over immediately.
Xiang Yuanxiao: "I'll go too!"
Xiangying touched his head and said, "You can't. Supervisor Jie is afraid that you are too young and might get hurt in the city, so he only let me take Taoxue and Qi Fengyi."
Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Xiuxiu looked disappointed.
Xiang Yuanlang stood by with his arms folded, and said coldly in the tone of a little adult: "We are hostages, this is the main reason why we are not allowed to go."
Xiangying smiled helplessly.
Her second child was always too smart.
The skinny monkey urged the carriage to come, and Xiangying pulled Taoxue and Qi Fengyi to sit on it.
The other women in the family were envious and watched the skinny monkey urge the carriage to take them away.
Xiang Qianqian was picking up firewood on the side and glanced in the direction of the carriage with her dark eyes.
She is no longer like she was at the beginning, showing everything on her face.
When others spoke well of Xiangying, she would smile and agree.
However, when she turned her back, Xiang Qianqian's expression was full of jealousy and disgust.
Last night, she couldn't sleep, so she stayed in the tent. Through the shaking gap, she saw Xiangying and Jiechen flashing back to the camp one after another.
Maybe they just went out together, maybe they did something.
In short, Xiangying was able to get everything because she pleased men.
Xiang Qianqian clenched her fists, hugged a pile of firewood, and walked towards General Ke's tent.
General Ke had his tendons in his hands and feet severed, and was lying down to rest.
Hearing the noise, he quickly sat up and said, "Xiang Qianqian, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that I don't need you to help me collect firewood?"
Xiang Qianqian raised her freshly washed face and said, "The military supervisor's hands are not convenient right now, and I don't have much to do, so I want to do something within my ability."
She put the firewood in the corner, but when she stood up, Supervisor Ke saw her body swaying.
He quickly stretched out a hand and supported her.
Sensing the soft touch, General Ke quickly withdrew his hand.
He was not a lustful man, and he had no improper thoughts about these female prisoners.
The hand he used to support Xiang Qianqian just now was nothing more than a subconscious action.
Xiang Qianqian blushed, she lowered her head and said in a buzzing voice: "Thank...thank you, Supervisor Ke. I didn't eat anything and almost fell down. It's all thanks to the Supervisor's help."
Supervisor Ke didn't believe it and frowned at her: "How is it possible? Because of Xiangying's meritorious service, we have shown special mercy to all the prisoners."
"Not only are we given plenty of food, but we also give you plenty of drinks. How can you not be full?"
Xiang Qianqian looked at him pitifully, as if she was about to cry.
"I was stupid. I went too late and didn't get any food. It has nothing to do with you, the military supervisors."
When General Ke heard this, he looked at her and realized that she was just a young girl, and looked quite pitiful.
For Xiangying's sake, he pointed to the steamed bun and broth beside him that he hadn't eaten and said, "Take it and eat it. I'm not hungry at all."
“How can this be possible…”
"Just take it when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense. If you have nothing else, get out."
Xiang Qianqian hesitated for a moment before nodding, thanking him, and going out with the broth.
Looking at her back, Jun Ke felt that the soft touch just now was really strange. He shook his uninjured hand, turned over and went to sleep.
At this time, Suan Xiucai was standing in Jie Chen's tent.
He lowered his voice and said, “Master, if you rashly write to the general, your identity may be exposed.”
