Chapter 116 Jie Chen, I applaud you
Xiangying has not read the original text, but still remembers his friend's description of this plot.
There are unknown things or special magnetic fields in the snow-capped mountains of Mangzhou that can make people lose their way, commonly known as the ghost wall.
Therefore, this snow-capped mountain in Mangzhou is also called the Mountain of No Return.
In the original book, the local people did not dare to cross the Bugui Mountain.
A friend told me that a book wrote that there were four hunters who went into the mountains to look for food, but only one came back crazy.
That crazy hunter kept shouting that there were monsters in the mountains that could not be killed by arrows or cut by knives, and he laughed like a baby.
Even if Xiangying were asked to associate this creature with something, she couldn't think of what it was.
It's probably a creature that lives in the deep mountains and has hard fur.
Xiangying hesitated when he recalled this.
"Mr. Lin, if I go to persuade Jie Jianjun to change his route and not return to the mountain, can you recommend another way?"
Old Master Lin shook his head and glanced at the soldiers gathered over there.
He lowered his voice and said, "Princess, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. The Bugui Mountain is very big and there is no way around it."
Grandpa Lin used branches to draw continuous mountains on the ground.
The mountains stretch endlessly and are indeed difficult to avoid.
Xiangli also said in a deep voice: "We are now exiled prisoners. If we can't avoid this mountain, we have to think about our own survival."
"Aying, please don't remind the military supervisors, or it will cause even greater conflicts."
Xiangying pondered.
The supplies in her space will not be a problem for her to cross the snowy mountain.
The only question is, what exactly is that unknown creature?
It's a pity that she didn't read the original book herself, but only heard a few words about it from her friends, otherwise she would know how to deal with it now.
All fear comes from insufficient firepower.
Xiangying missed her full arsenal again.
However, she thought of a suspicious point.
If your friend is reading a novel, there should be a protagonist.
But Xiangying never heard her mention any protagonist from beginning to end.
On the contrary, the various plot descriptions in the book made Xiangying feel that it was like a historical record or a disaster documentary novel.
After all, famine was the main theme, and the final winner was the Kingdom of Nanyue.
Xiangying became more determined to go to South Vietnam.
She suggested to Xiangli: "Even if I don't change my route, I still need to discuss this matter with Jie Chen."
"After all, we are all mortals. How can we not be afraid of the cold? Remind him and let him prepare in advance, which will also save us trouble."
Xiangli was about to say something when Xiangying got up and left in a hurry.
Old Master Lin smiled lovingly, looking at Xiangli who sighed helplessly: "The eldest princess is doing very well now, she is resolute and brave. I seem to see hope for the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Instead, there is some unknown worry when we are apart.
"Aying is so outstanding, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
"Your Highness has not understood yet," said Old Master Lin meaningfully, "It is precisely because the eldest princess is so outstanding that we can have an easier time along the way."
Xiangying has already walked to the outside of Li Chen's tent.
The two soldiers standing outside reminded: "Wait here, the military supervisor is discussing matters."
As soon as they finished speaking, the loud voice of General Ke was heard from the tent.
"I told you not to indulge her too much. She just said she wanted to take the women to the Yue Lao Temple. Do you really think she's just out for fun? How could you agree to that?"
Xiangying raised an eyebrow.
Oh, General Ke is reporting her again.
The two soldiers at the door didn't even dare to raise their heads, feeling embarrassed for General Ke.
Xiangying didn't hear what Jie Chen said, but General Ke seemed to become even more angry.
"What do you mean by calming the fears of the exiled prisoners? They are just a group of prisoners, and you are taking their thoughts into consideration?"
"Jie Chen, I just want to ask you one question. Do you listen to whatever Xiangying says?"
Hearing this, Xiangying couldn't help it.
She parted the curtain, poked her head in and interrupted, "General Ke, you have a deep misunderstanding of me."
"How can I make Jie Jianjun obey my orders? He must have his own reasons for making this decision."
In the tent, Xie Chen sat behind the table, his dark robe seeming to deepen the shadow between his brows.
General Ke was standing by the table with a bandage on his left hand. When he heard Xiangying's voice, he was startled.
He looked back and frowned: "Why are you eavesdropping?"
Xiangying smiled with her red lips: "Your shouting can be heard three miles away, I think it's hard not to hear it."
General Ke coughed lightly in an unnatural manner.
Was he speaking too loudly just now? I didn't realize it.
Xie Chen pursed his lips and said in a cold tone: "You have something to ask me?"
Xiangying walked in naturally.
"I heard that we are going to cross Mangzhou. Let me remind you that there is snow in Bugui Mountain in Mangzhou all year round. It is very cold, so you need to bring some clothes."
"I brought it." Xie Chen was very frugal with his words.
Xiangying raised her eyebrows: "Are you ready to exile so many prisoners?"
General Ke rolled his eyes and looked directly at Jie Chen.
"Listen to this, listen to this. She said she wasn't arrogant. What kind of person is this prisoner? How dare she ask for something we need to keep out the cold?"
Xiangying looked at him with her dark phoenix eyes: "Let me ask you, did the Emperor of Nanyue ask you to escort us back?"
"yes."
"If we all freeze to death on the road, what will you do for us?"
In one word, all further words of General Ke were blocked.
He wanted to say something but hesitated, repeatedly searching for the right words to refute Xiangying.
In the end, he could only throw his hands up, as if he was disappointed: "That's not a reason for you to make random demands."
Xie Chen was still indifferent at this time: "The things will be ready in Luzhou City, you don't need to worry about it, just take care of yourself."
This is what Xiangying was waiting for.
"I will definitely take good care of myself and the children. I'm just worried that you will hold me back. Don't let them get frostbitten one by one on the snowy mountain and need me to save them. It's really troublesome."
"Jie Chen, she is so arrogant, and you don't do anything about it?" General Ke widened his eyes.
Xiangying said, "General Ke, I'm not being arrogant, I'm being confident. If you get so cold that you can't even walk, I will definitely save you."
"But you better keep your words to yourself. I hold grudges. Be careful."
Ke Jianjun pointed at her: "You, you, you..."
He couldn't argue with her, so he could only look to Jie Chen for help.
Jie Chen lowered his head as if he was used to it. From Xiangying's perspective, all he could see was his sword-like eyebrows.
"She has always been like this. Will she change if I tell her?"
"No." Xiangying was honest.
Xie Chen sneered, and although it seemed cold, it actually contained a hint of indulgence.
However, General Ke felt that the two of them were singing the same tune and it was making him mad.
"Without rules, there will be no order. If there is no sense of distance between the soldiers and the prisoners, something bad will happen sooner or later!"
After he finished speaking, he swung the curtain and left angrily.
Xiangying also said tactfully: "I have nothing to do, so I will leave first."
Jie Chen did not respond. He listened to Xiangying's footsteps gradually approaching the door.
Suddenly, she stopped and said, "That's right."
There seemed to be a faint light flashing in Xie Chenbo's eyes.
He suppressed the inexplicable smile at the corner of his lips and raised his head: "What's wrong again?"
Xiangying said sincerely: "Thank you on behalf of the girls outside. These people have been suppressed for a long time. They are very happy to be able to go to the Yue Lao Temple."
"I applaud you for being open-minded." She clapped her hands twice and then left decisively.
Xie Chen was slightly stunned, and only frowned slightly until Xiangying walked away.
Is that all you need to thank me?
