Chapter 113: Li Chen learned bad things from her
Xiangying laughed and said, "I know, so I'm just being polite."
Jie Chen let her go with a cold face: "I knew you were a heartless woman."
Although his tone was cold, he obviously knew that Xiangying was joking with him.
She was serious and was not afraid of being drowned in the river. Jie Chen had seen her skills in the water.
When I thought of the word Kung Fu, I couldn't help but think of her teasing just now.
Xie Chen's ears turned red without showing any emotion.
But just now Xiangying was pulled close to him, and now she leaned on his shoulder unconsciously.
Feeling the warm and soft body made Jie Chen feel as if he was close to burning charcoal, causing his whole body to burn.
He slightly sidestepped and dodged, his throat rolling up and down: "Sit down properly."
Xiangying hadn't noticed his change in mood yet, she just sat up straight and crossed her legs.
She couldn't help but ask: "So you still have a backup plan, right?"
Based on her understanding of Jie Chen, it is impossible for him to be arrested obediently.
Xie Chen closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. His voice became hoarse for some reason: "No."
Xiangying sighed, "Then I'll have to go to Shenjiang."
They both fell into silence.
Torches crackled on the wall outside.
Xie Chen didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly asked, "They didn't torture you before you went to jail, did they?"
"No," Xiangying answered, and then suddenly realized, "Did they beat you?"
"Neither." Xie Chen responded coldly.
However, Xiangying didn't believe it.
Xie Chen must have thought that she had been treated the same way as he had, which was why he asked that question.
She looked Jie Chen up and down and saw that he was still wearing the same black suit he usually wore.
There was indeed something wrong with the color of the clothes on the back.
Xiangying reached out and touched it, it was wet.
She immediately frowned and rolled up his clothes.
Xie Chen frowned: "Let go."
However, Xiangying had already seen his injuries.
There were whip marks all over his back, at least seven or eight.
"They used military law against you?"
Xie Chen didn't say anything.
Xiangying was so smart that he guessed it immediately: "You bailed me out of prison, so the general beat me, right?"
If it was because of stealing from the granary, Xiangying would have received the same treatment before being imprisoned.
But she was not beaten, so the injuries on Jie Chen's body must have been caused by him trying to get her out of prison.
Xie Chen put down his clothes with his backhand, his face cold: "It has nothing to do with you."
Xiangying held his hand and said, "It's related. It's hot in the summer now. If you leave these wounds alone, they will fester in a few days."
"It just so happens that I brought a bottle of medicine with me, which I used for my brother. I'll let you take care of it now. Don't move."
Jie Chen didn't move anymore and let Xiangying roll up his shirt.
The hideous scars on his back were exposed. She first used a handkerchief to dip iodine in the air and wiped Jie Chen clean.
He then took out the hemostatic medicine and sprinkled it evenly on the wound.
Jie Chen suddenly asked coldly: "You won't apply chili powder to me like you did to the deputy general, right?"
Xiangying said subconsciously: "No, you are different from him."
Immediately, she heard Jie Chen sneer, as if he had already guessed that it was her who did it.
Xiangying was not afraid to tell the truth because she knew that although Jie Chen seemed cold towards her, he was actually quite tolerant.
"How do you know it was me?"
"It's easy to imagine that, except for you, no one else in the entire military camp would dare to do such a retaliatory act."
Xiangying curled his lips, not convinced, but accepted it.
Xie Chen tilted his head, his eyes dark and gloomy: "But I'm curious, how did you hurt him and take away all his things at the same time, do you have any help?"
Xiangying frowned secretly and deliberately used a little force.
Xie Chen groaned in pain.
"I had no help, I had to rely on myself. If you want to blame someone, just blame him for not being able to see because he was stung by a wasp."
At this point, Xiangying leaned over and whispered in Jiechen's ear: "Didn't you say that everyone has reasons that cannot be explained?"
"I won't tell you, and you don't ask."
Xie Chen tilted his head and was about to speak, but unexpectedly their lips brushed lightly!
It was just a brief moment, and both of them were stunned.
I didn't expect this at all.
The next second, Xiangying and Jiechen separated like springs.
Xie Chen's ears were burning, and waves of emotion were also rising in his handsome and cold eyes.
He seemed a little annoyed: "Why are you so close?"
Xiangying retorted: "Who knew you would suddenly turn around!"
It was getting late, so the two of them just sat in a corner to rest.
Xiangying was a little sleepy, so he said directly: "I'm going to sleep."
After a while, the sound of her even breathing could be heard.
Jie Chen glanced at her curled up back and didn't know what to say.
She slept peacefully like this. Even if the general would send news tomorrow to drown them in the river, she was really not afraid at all.
Jie Chen slowly moved towards her and sat a little closer.
Then he closed his eyes and rested.
In the middle of the night, Suan Xiucai brought his men into the cell and saw Xiangying lying on his back next to Jie Chen.
Jie Chen also closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
The sour scholar signaled the people behind him to follow him and leave first.
When they got outside, the subordinates wondered, "We are not going to care about our master anymore? Didn't we agree to pick him up tonight?"
"No need to ask, I know the master is not leaving now. He will definitely stay until tomorrow to face it with Xiangying."
After the sour scholar finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed: "You and I have followed the master for a long time, but we are not as good as that skinny monkey in terms of vision. Maybe we will have a real sister-in-law!"
A group of people came in the dark and went back in the moonlight.
The next day.
When Xiangying woke up, Jie Chen was already standing at the cell door, looking outside.
She moved her shoulders. Last night, Jie Chen was with her, so she couldn't take the bedding out of the space and spread it on the ground.
It causes my whole body to ache when I sleep.
Xiangying stretched his muscles a little and asked, "Did the general send anyone?"
Xie Chen looked back at her, his expression cold and indifferent: "Are you still looking forward to being buried in the river?"
Xiangying walked up to him and said, "I'm afraid you'll confess behind my back."
Xie Chen pursed his lips and retracted his gaze: "Someone will be here soon, be ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers came over with keys in their hands and looked ferocious.
They opened the door lock and loosened the chain for Jie Chen first.
Xiangying frowned when he saw this and said, "If the general wants to arrest someone and sink him into the river, I will go, not him."
She stretched out her hand to stop anyone from taking Jie Chen away.
The soldiers looked up at her and said, "How can we let you out if you...you don't let us remove the shackles?"
"Go out?" Xiangying was stunned.
She looked at Jie Chen, who was looking at her with interest.
It seemed as if he already knew they would be fine.
After the soldiers uncuffed them and led the two men out, they really let them leave on their own.
He also said that the general had caught the person who stole the grain.
Xiangying looked at Jie Chen's calm and composed expression and couldn't help but ask, "You knew we were fine a long time ago?"
"Yeah." Jie Chen didn't deny it.
Xiangying put his hands on his hips: "Then why don't you tell me and let me get ready!?"
Xie Chen smiled rarely and glanced at her: "I asked you to prepare to be released. What's the problem?"
Xiangying was choked by him and couldn't speak.
Did Jie Chen learn bad things from her? How come he even learned how to tease people on purpose?
He pulled her wrist: "Don't be in a daze, they are waiting for us outside."
