Chapter 114 I'm Scared by My Dad
The soldier who opened the cell was extremely polite.
Not only was he respectful to Jie Chen, but he also had a flattering smile on his face when facing Xiang Ying.
Xiangying was pulled out of the cell by Jie Chen. The glaring sunlight on a summer day made her squint her eyes uncomfortably.
But when she saw it clearly, she was slightly stunned.
Outside the cell, there stood a group of captains and soldiers.
The person leading the group was none other than the ever-victorious general.
He strode over and patted Jie Chen on the shoulder: "Is it not unfair to you last night? I even asked a beauty to accompany you."
General Changsheng swept a teasing look across Xiangying's face.
The tone he used when talking to Jie Chen now was nothing like the stern and terrifying general yesterday!
Xiangying was slightly startled: "What do you mean, the general has already discussed this with Jie Chen?"
General Changsheng stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Jie Chen meaningfully: "Why, you haven't explained it to her yet?"
Xie Chen looked at Xiang Ying who was frowning and said, "I didn't have time to tell her. She fell asleep too quickly last night."
Xiangying was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she made accusations with confidence.
"Didn't I ask you if you had a backup plan?"
"I don't have a backup plan," Xie Chen said calmly, not feeling guilty at all, "I just prepared a plan in advance."
Seeing Xiangying getting angry is also very beautiful.
General Changsheng looked at her for a few more seconds, then explained to her with a smile.
It turned out that there were several grain sacks in the granary filled with rotten rice!
This matter had been discovered by Jie Chen a long time ago, and he suspected that someone had swapped the rice.
Otherwise, it would be that the prefect Zhao was passing off inferior goods as good ones.
General Changsheng ordered him to investigate carefully and thoroughly, and finally, he was discovered by Jie Chen.
Governor Zhao thought that the general would not check the grains one by one, so the ones placed on top were all good rice and flour, while the ones at the bottom were all moldy.
Xie Chen reported the truth to the emperor. General Changsheng wanted to make trouble during the inspection, but he did not expect that thieves would appear in the granary.
The man left a thin iron mask, as if he was trying to frame Jie Chen.
So, General Changsheng let Jie Chen take advantage of the situation and was imprisoned by him.
It seems like a conviction, but in fact they continue to send people to investigate thoroughly in private.
The man who framed Jie Chen thought he had succeeded and revealed some flaws. When he was caught, it turned out that he was the deputy general.
Now, the entire family of Prefect Zhao was beaten to death, and the deputy general was torn into pieces by five horses according to military regulations. Everything was resolved overnight.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not giving the mask to Jie Chen secretly." General Changsheng was still in the mood to joke with Xiangying.
The deputy general had been sending people to monitor Jie Chen. When he learned that Xiangying had given him a mask, he immediately asked someone to buy him an identical one.
Xiangying frowned, completely understanding the situation.
"I was saying that a general sitting in this position would not be so stupid as to judge a person based on a mask alone."
General Changsheng deliberately frowned and said, "How dare you, little yellow-haired girl, say that I am stupid?"
"I think that although you are brave, you are impulsive. If someone else really wanted to kill Jie Chen, would you block it for him?"
Xie Chen couldn't help but look at Xiangying out of the corner of his eye.
She said without hesitation: "Of course, Xie Chen and I are friends for life and death, his business is my business."
After all, she was the one who looted the food...
However, if there is no absolute certainty of escape, there is nothing she can do.
At most, I can weed the grass on Xie Chen’s grave when it is one meter high.
Jie Chen didn't know what Xiangying was thinking, but when he heard her say that, the white snow seemed to melt between his cold and indifferent brows.
He glanced at Xiangying and pretended not to smile: "Don't be reckless next time."
Upon hearing this, General Changsheng had an even better impression of Xiangying.
He is loyal and righteous, much better than that dog emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty!
"I heard that you are good at fighting. There is a top warrior in my camp. He wants to compete with you. I wonder if you are willing?"
He took two steps forward and spoke closer to Xiangying.
However, before Xiangying could speak, Jie Chen stood between the two of them calmly.
Not only did he block General Changsheng's gaze from looking at Xiangying, he also pressed Xiangying's wrist with his backhand.
"She just got out of jail, she's tired. Besides, her three children must be waiting for her. We'll talk about it next time."
General Changsheng laughed loudly: "Okay! You protect her, fearing that my people will hurt her, so I won't force you."
"You guys go back and pack up. We'll be on the road the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at Xiangying again and said, "If it weren't for the dispute between the two countries, you would be a girl that I like very much. It wouldn't be a problem to adopt you as my adopted daughter."
Xiangying shook his head and refused decisively.
"I'm scared of being betrayed by my own father, and I don't want any father anymore. If you want to recruit me in the future, let me be the first female general in your camp."
General Changsheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, and after he realized what was happening, he clapped his hands and laughed.
"Okay, okay, I'm in South Vietnam, waiting for you!"
After leaving the government office, the sour scholar was already waiting outside in his horse-drawn carriage.
Seeing Jie Chen and Xiang Ying coming out, he immediately smiled with joy and jumped off the shaft of the cart.
"Military Supervisor, Princess, were you tired last night?" As soon as he said this, he felt something strange.
The sour scholar quickly added: "You two suffered at night!"
No! Still no!
"The conditions in the cell are harsh. You two can't sleep, right?" The sour scholar said, hating himself for having a dead mouth that couldn't speak.
Xiangying added: "I do have back pain, but Jiechen is tough, so I'm not afraid of it hurting me."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and entered the carriage first. Jie Chen's ears were burning with anger at her words.
What vicious words is she saying?
The sour scholar pretended not to understand and bowed to invite Jie Chen to get on the carriage.
The way back to the camp is not long.
The carriage was shaking, Xiangying and Jiechen were sitting face to face, but neither of them was looking at each other.
She lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside, and he was wondering what she meant by what she had just said.
Suddenly, Xiangying's red lips moved slightly, and a faint tone floated over.
"I guess this general is also your man."
Xie Chen came back to his senses suddenly, and ripples appeared in his dark eyes under his sword-like eyebrows.
"We are all South Vietnamese," he answered ambiguously.
Xiangying turned his head and looked him in the eyes: "No, I mean, the general is your subordinate."
Xie Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why do you think so? I am just the military supervisor, and he is the general."
Xiangying tutted, "It's just a trick. Judging from his attitude towards you just now, he was too intimate and not arrogant."
"He can do whatever he wants with the deputy general. You are just a military supervisor, but he obeys everything you say."
"So, I guess..." She stared at Jie Chen with her eyes sparkling.
At that moment, Jie Chen looked at her with interest.
He really wanted to hear what else she could think of with her clever mind.
Xiangying said confidently in a low voice: "I guess you are his son, or, an illegitimate child."
Xie Chen was stunned.
The carriage suddenly hit a rock and jolted violently.
Xie Chen almost rolled out.
