Chapter 112 Do you care about my life?
Xiangying frowned, but felt that things were not that simple.
She immediately called Suan Xiucai and asked him to take her to see General Changsheng.
Upon learning of her thoughts, the sour scholar was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, the military supervisor has finally gotten you out of prison. If you go there again, the general will definitely settle all your old and new scores!"
"The Zhao family still holds a grudge against you for killing their only child."
Xiangying said firmly, "He can't kill me yet, but if I don't go, the people who deal with Jie Chen will succeed."
After thinking about it, General Changsheng must be in the camp now.
Xiangying turned around, led a horse over, jumped on the horse and headed straight for the camp.
General Ke thought she said that just to show off, but when he turned around, he saw Xiangying's back disappearing into the distance.
"Stop her quickly! She really doesn't know how to live or die!" General Ke shouted anxiously.
The Sour Scholar and the Skinny Monkey took their soldiers and each rode a horse to chase after Xiangying, but they were not as fast as Xiangying.
I watched her ride into the camp, only to be stopped by the general's men.
"It's over, it's over. She really is not afraid of death." The skinny monkey murmured.
The sour scholar remained silent.
Xiangying's decision surprised him.
At this time, she actually put her own safety aside and went to help Jie Chen.
Xiangying was taken to the general's tent by the soldiers.
General Changsheng is nearly fifty years old, and has been on the battlefield for many years, and has developed a murderous aura.
The moustache on his face also made his expression look more stern and serious.
He only glanced at Xiangying and made her feel threatened.
"You still dare to come?" The general's voice was as deep and powerful as a tiger's. "Jie Chen protected you once. Do you think I will give you a second chance?"
Xiangying stood in the tent with neither humility nor overbearing, her black hair lingering around her snow-white cheeks, not like a female prisoner.
It does fit with the description of her in the legend, so the general naturally had no good impression of her.
This kind of woman, who offers her body to men, is so attractive that Jie Chen cannot bear her control and is willing to come forward to protect her.
"General, you have fought in countless battles, so you must be very skilled in both civil and military affairs. That is why I want to remind you to be cautious when arresting people."
"The thin iron mask left in the granary was given to Jie Chen by me because it is everywhere on the street, 20 taels each, and anyone who wants to buy it could be a grain thief."
"Just based on this, the general imprisoned the loyal military supervisor Jie. I think it's unfair!"
General Changsheng sneered: "Are you accusing me of being unfair?"
Xiangying raised his thin white chin slightly: "I dare not, but I am telling you what I know because I don't want the military supervisor to be wrongly accused."
"What an unjustifiable injustice," the general stroked his beard, "Do you know that I have just issued an order that anyone who dares to plead for Jie Chen will be considered an accomplice. Do you still dare to continue to defend him?"
How could Xiangying be afraid?
Her dark phoenix eyes were filled with clarity, like a pool of snow.
"Xie Chen is innocent. I don't believe he would steal from the granary. This makes no sense to him."
General Changsheng looked Xiangying up and down, seeming very surprised that she had such courage.
However, he had already convicted Jie Chen.
"Since you are willing to vouch for him, the evidence is irrefutable and I will not show any mercy! Come, take this female prisoner to the prison!"
Xiangying was caught by the soldiers and taken away directly.
Before leaving, she emphasized: "General, just go to the streets and you will know. There are thin iron masks everywhere. Why did the grain thief leave this flaw? Someone wants to frame Jie Chen!"
Her voice faded away, and the general stroked his beard without saying a word, with a dark light in his eyes.
Xie Chen sat in the cell, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.
Hearing the sound of the door being unlocked, he opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Xiangying raised his head towards him and said, "Hello, fellow inmate."
The soldier pushed her into the cell and sneered, "It's already this hour, and you still have the mood to flirt."
"The general said that only one of you can survive. The other will be convicted and tied to a rock and thrown into the river. Cherish the last time you spend together!"
The soldier closed the door, threw the key and left.
Xie Chen's face was grim, no, it looked more like livid.
He stared at Xiangying until she sat next to him, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you here to die?"
Xiangying is much calmer than him.
"Don't blame me, blame that ever-victorious general for not being able to tell right from wrong. I couldn't bear to see you being wrongly accused, so I went to him and told him the truth. The iron mask is the one I gave you."
"You——!" Xie Chen was almost mad at this woman, "What good would it be to die with me?"
Xiangying smiled, her eyes curved: "It's nice to have a handsome male ghost as a companion, and you have a good figure, and uh... your kung fu is also pretty good."
Xie Chen was completely annoyed: "Xiang! Ying!"
She put away her joking expression and said softly, "Don't ask why, because you are good to me and I don't want to let you down."
"Didn't you take the risk and get me out of jail?"
Xie Chen's face was cold and stiff: "This is different."
Xiangying looked at him and said, "Same, when Scarface was alive, the person he respected the most was you."
"You never allow your men to violate female prisoners. If it were someone else, they might not be so careful."
"So, whether for him, for your kindness to me, or for the entire exile team, I should stand up and testify for you."
"And I have decided that if the general really wants to capture someone and sink him into the river, let me go."
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't forget, I can swim. Let alone tie a stone, even if he ties me up all over, I can still get away."
"Just help me take care of the three children."
I had thought about it before Xiangying came.
If she was drowned, she would sneak away and find a chance to take the three kids away.
Anyway, they were almost reaching South Vietnam, and she could always find the way by groping her way.
Always following the exile team is convenient, but it takes too much effort.
Xie Chen just stared at her without saying a word.
His dark eyes were as cold as moonlight, yet they seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
He looked at Xiangying with some complicated feelings.
After a while, he asked, "Do you care about my life?"
Xiangying couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this: "Of course, I'm probably the only one in the entire exile team who doesn't want you to die the most."
Jie Chen's eyes were so focused that Xiang Ying couldn't help but move closer to look into his eyes.
Their faces were several inches apart, almost touching, and their hot breaths seemed to be entangled together.
The moonlight outside shone through the narrow window.
Xiangying opened and closed her red lips: "Jiechen, we are isolated and helpless at the moment, and we rely on each other. I think this feeling is not bad."
It had been a long time since she had felt the feeling of facing life and death side by side like this.
"After I drown myself in the river for you, will you let go of your previous prejudice against me? Forget about that licentious princess. The current Xiangying will not hurt you like before."
Xiangying spoke seriously, her slender eyelashes were like two brushes, and Jie Chen couldn't help but look at her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.
Xiangying's lips almost hit the bridge of his nose.
Jie Chen turned his head slightly, avoiding her red lips. His palms were hot and he held them tightly.
"Who allowed you to act on your own? I won't let you be sunk into the river."
