Chapter 108: Catch her and execute her tonight!
A faint smile slowly rose in the pair of phoenix eyes under Xiangying's eyelashes.
"Just accept it. I'll take it as your promise to help me solve the Zhao family issue."
"No wonder you gave me something," Xie Chen sneered, "It turns out you had been planning to hide behind me for a long time."
Xiangying said innocently: "My status is limited, so I can only rely on you. Of course, if you agree to let me kill people, this matter will be much easier."
Xie Chen frowned coldly: "No."
Her identity was too sensitive. If the Princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty killed a Nanyue person, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the entire army.
Xie Chen emphasized again: "The general will arrive here one day. You should be honest and don't show up these days."
Xiangying said "oh" and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jie Chen.
"Take this before you go."
He pointed at the soft mattress that Skinny Monkey had bought.
Xiangying was stunned. It turned out that the soft mattress he asked Skinny Monkey to buy was for her?
"you……"
"Don't think too much. I bought it for you and the child because of your contribution in curing the plague. Take it." Xie Chen said coldly without even raising his head.
That time, he opened the tent and saw Xiangying lying on the ground hugging the children, with only a thin sheet between them.
I guess he must have had an uncomfortable sleep.
Xie Chen asked himself if he had the time to care about them, but Xiangying bravely stood up when the plague broke out.
Such people deserve to be commended.
Xiangying did not refuse, but picked up the quilt and asked naively: "Since the bedding has been given, can we arrange a wooden bed?"
Xie Chen raised his eyes instantly, his dark eyes filled with anger.
How could this woman be so arrogant!
He looked at Xiangying's bright and beautiful face, smiling particularly brightly and beautifully.
Xie Chen endured it and said sarcastically, "Why not just give you my tent to rest."
Unexpectedly, Xiangying nodded: "Okay."
"Xiang, Ying!" Xie Chen gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Get out!"
Xiangying clicked his tongue: "It was just a joke."
How funny!
She walked away happily, holding the soft mattress.
As soon as I reached the door, I bumped head-on into the sour scholar who was about to come in.
Xiangying was in a good mood and took the initiative to greet him: "Xiucai, you look really good today."
She strode away, and the sour scholar touched his face in confusion.
What do you mean he looks good today? Did he look very weak before?
The sour scholar thought of the important matter, and after entering the tent, he handed over an invitation with both hands.
"Military Supervisor, this was just sent by someone from the Zhao family."
Jie Chen took a look and said, "I see. Put it there."
The sour scholar thought for a moment and lowered his voice: "The reason why the governor Zhao personally sent you an invitation to a banquet in his mansion must be because of what Xiangying did in the street market just now."
"I just made some inquiries and found out that the injured person is the son of the second master of the Zhao family. He is also the only male of the Zhao family's younger generation."
"Now, the governor of Zhao is kind enough to invite you to a banquet for the sake of the general. This must be to get you to hand over Xiangying as an apology."
Xie Chen didn't even raise his head as he sorted out the secret letter in his hand.
"I know, I won't go." He said coldly through his thin lips.
The sour scholar was a little worried: "The Zhao family is afraid of the general now, but if they deliberately make a big fuss about this matter, I'm afraid that when the general comes, he will also execute Xiangying to settle the matter."
After Xie Chen finished processing the letter in his hand, there were some ink stains on his slender fingertips.
He stood up and went to wash in the copper basin. His slightly drooped eyebrows looked handsome and indifferent, and his tone was even more slow and leisurely.
"Don't worry about him. Xiangying is in my team. No one else has the right to decide her life or death."
"Let's proceed according to the old plan. By then, the Zhao family will be too busy to target her."
The sour scholar paused and nodded: "Yes."
He lifted the curtain and went out, and heard joyful laughter coming from not far away.
Looking over, I saw Xiangying holding the soft mattress given by Jiechen and hanging the children together to dry them.
It is said that you can lay it out when you go to bed at night.
Which of the other exiled prisoners did not have envy in their eyes?
The sour scholar is really a little worried.
Their military supervisor Jie always treats the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty differently. Could it be that he really likes her and is not just after the jade seal on her?
He couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.
The general would not allow Jie Jianjun to act recklessly.
I hope that when the general arrives and finds out what Xiangying has done, he will immediately drive her away to prevent Xiangying from staying and causing trouble.
Things turned out just as Suan Xiucai had expected.
A day later, the general led many soldiers and exiled prisoners to Luzhou to join them.
Because the governor of Zhao was going to offer grain as a donation, the general summoned him first.
The governor Zhao reported Xiangying's crimes to his superiors. In the evening, Xiangying was arrested by a group of soldiers and imprisoned in the government dungeon in Luzhou city.
She was shackled again before she even saw Jie Chen.
Xiangying sat in the cell, looking at the heavy chains on his wrists and ankles.
She said coldly to the soldiers guarding outside: "Do you have to be so cautious?"
The soldier glanced at her and said, "The general said that you are good at martial arts, so we must be careful. If you don't want to suffer before you die, be honest."
"Dead?" Xiangying raised his eyebrows.
The soldier nodded: "Yes, the general has promised the governor Zhao to execute you, and now they are drinking to celebrate their success."
"When the banquet is over, your death will also be here. I heard that you can cure the plague. What a pity. You can only blame yourself for picking on someone else but the Zhao family."
Xiangying folded his arms and leaned against the cell wall coldly.
"Doesn't the general care that the Zhao family is so arrogant and bullies men and women?"
The soldier laughed and said, "The Zhao family is a meritorious official, and was personally appointed by the emperor. Even if they bully you, an orphan girl from a fallen country, what's wrong with that?"
Xiangying understood completely.
Because she has no value, but Governor Zhao has value.
After that, the soldier refused to talk to her no matter what.
Xiangying looked out through the narrow window of the cell and saw a bright full moon right overhead.
According to the soldiers, once the banquet is over, the general will send someone to execute her.
At the same time, tomorrow is the day when the general will take over the grain and fodder in the twenty granaries in Luzhou.
So Xiangying must act now and empty the granary.
But she looked at the chains on her hands, and then at the patrolling soldiers who passed by from time to time outside.
Jie Chen didn’t know what he was doing at this moment, but he certainly couldn’t help her.
If Xiangying wants to get out, he will have to kill a lot of people, which will alarm the generals around him.
No, she had to think of a foolproof solution.
Xiangying concentrated, closed his eyes, and went into the space, wanting to see if there were any artillery that could be used.
The closer it got to this point, the more she missed the munitions she had stockpiled in her previous life.
Not to mention artillery, there are even thousands of Gatling guns.
As Xiangying walked around the computer screen, she suddenly noticed the flashing exclamation mark on it.
Turning his head, the system prompts "The three little guys are in danger of encountering bandits. Do you want to provide weapons?"
In the background, the three cartoon characters that Xiangying had helped before were being forced onto the cliff by a group of more than a dozen horse bandits.
