Chapter 123 These People Are Yours
After a night's rest, Xiangying felt full of energy.
She went into the space to prepare breakfast for herself, making a sandwich and drinking milk.
I also found time to make myself four egg tarts using the microwave.
While eating, she went upstairs to see how her cartoon character was doing.
To her surprise, their numbers increased again!
It has changed from 42/100 to 60/100.
These days, they have become a small, well-organized and well-disciplined force.
However, the house they lived in was still dilapidated.
Surrounded by endless Gobi Desert, the houses in the Sand City are naturally built with earth mixed with mud and sand.
The advantage is that it is wind-resistant, but the disadvantage is that sand is falling all the time, and when you wake up from a sleep, your body is covered in yellow dust.
Xiangying thought about it and invested some construction supplies for these cartoon characters, such as the pepper paste she had moved from the palace before, and all kinds of tools, with unlimited supply.
After giving them all these, I watched them run out of the hut and kowtow on the open ground.
Xiangying finished the last bite of the egg tart and gave them more food and water.
Seeing that the leader seemed to be sick and had a bandage on his arm, Xiangying gave him some medical supplies.
The little people were so grateful that they danced with excitement.
When they came out of the space, the children had just finished their meal.
In the morning, Xiangying prepared egg custard and clear soup noodles for them.
We will have to walk next, so we changed the insoles for the children to be comfortable and soft.
Xiangying noticed that there were many soldiers with unfamiliar faces in the team.
She called Skinny Monkey and asked, "Where did these people come from?"
"Sister-in-law, don't you know? Military Supervisor Jie has been promoted to deputy general. Our team is now empty of two military supervisors and two captains. Naturally, we have to ask others to fill the vacancies."
Xiangying nodded slowly and looked not far away, where a group of new exiled prisoners were added.
Among them are both men and women. Judging from the circumstances, they should be the princes, ministers and their families of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
They are relatives of some of the women in Xiangying's team. At this moment, they are crying in the front and talking about the hardships they have experienced along the way.
The skinny monkey hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, take the kids and get ready. We'll be leaving soon. There are new members in our team, and I have to go to the front to take care of them!"
He ran away in a hurry.
Tao Xue walked up to Xiang Ying and said, "Look, Princess, that's Consort Shu!"
Xiangying looked closely.
A woman with stains on her face, looking extremely disheveled, hugged Xiang Qianqian and cried inconsolably.
Her muddy hands kept stroking the wound on Xiang Qianqian's forehead.
Although she looked disheveled, one could still see some of her former charm and beauty from her facial features.
She is indeed Concubine Shu, the favorite concubine of Xiangying’s father.
He once relied on his favor to act tyrannically in the palace and even looked down on Xiangying's mother.
Tao Xue pointed over there: "Besides Concubine Shu, there are also Concubine De and Concubine Jiang Zhaoyi. These concubines who ran away with the emperor were actually caught back?"
Qi Fengyi came back from asking around with a gloomy look on his face.
She thought her family would be among the exiled prisoners, but after looking around, she didn't see a single relative.
When she returned to Xiangying, she happened to hear Taoxue's question and began to explain:
"I heard that when the emperor was on the run, he felt that Concubine De and the others were in the way and were slowing down the carriage, so he kicked them off."
"And the Concubine Shu. In order to stop the Nanyue soldiers from chasing her, the Emperor threw Concubine Shu down to them."
Although Xiang Ying and Xiang Qianqian didn't get along, when he heard what the Western Zhou emperor did, he couldn't help but curse: "You dog father, you are so wicked."
Tao Xue sighed, "It's a pity for the military officers who swore to follow and pledge allegiance until death."
At this moment, the sour scholar hurried over and said, "Princess, the deputy general wants you to come over."
Xiangying asked Taoxue to look after the three children and went to Jiechen's tent.
When I drew aside the curtain, I found the general was there too.
When he saw Xiangying, he coughed twice in an extremely unnatural way.
Then, he pretended to be indifferent and serious: "You fainted yesterday. I heard that you were hungry. Are you feeling better now?"
Xiangying nodded: "Much better, thank you for your concern, General. Do you want to punish me again?"
Xie Chen gave the general a cold look.
The general understood and pursed his lips and said, "I heard from Deputy General Jie that you got along very well with the soldiers along the way."
"You even shared your food with them. Since you have made amends for your mistakes, I will not pursue your fault for the time being."
Xiangying smiled, "Thank you, General."
The general could not help but remind him: "Don't be too happy too soon. Although I will not go with you, you still have to follow the rules."
"Deputy General Jie is willing to treat you well, but you can't break the rules and make things difficult for him, otherwise how can he manage the team?"
Xie Chen said calmly: "General, you still have something to do, you can go first."
This is an order to expel the guest. The general nodded and said, "I will leave everything to you."
He turned and left, and when he passed by Xiangying, he looked at her twice again.
Alas, she is indeed a beauty. If Your Highness is seduced by her beauty, what will happen to our great cause?
The general is gone.
Xie Chen asked Xiangying to come closer and gave her a token.
"What is this?" Xiangying asked curiously.
"The two exile teams have been merged, and now there are more than 300 people in total. My energy is limited, so I will leave these people to you."
Xiangying was stunned: "Who?"
Xie Chen shouted outside: "Bring him in."
The sour scholar led someone in.
Seeing the other party's dark brows and half-smiley eyes, Xiangying was surprised: "It's you, Lu Feiyi?"
The leader of the pirates.
Xiangying was originally wondering why Jie Chen had already recruited this group of pirates, but they were nowhere to be seen.
I guess he was a step behind and just caught up with them recently.
Lu Feiyi bowed to Xiangying and said, "Princess, I am bringing fifty brothers with me to seek refuge. The deputy general said that you will be our leader from now on. Please give us your guidance."
He was clearly a bandit, but when he talked and laughed, besides being a bandit, he also exuded a strong scholarly air.
There is always a secret hidden in those eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling.
Xie Chen pointed to the token in Xiangying's hand and said, "This is what you use to command them. You must keep it safe."
"If there are any problems or they don't comply, they can be killed on the spot without mercy."
After that, Xie Chen looked at Lu Feiyi and said, "Go out and tell your people that they must not make trouble or cause any trouble while following them."
Lu Feiyi nodded and looked at Xiangying with a somewhat intriguing look.
"Princess, see you later." He went out.
Xiangying couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? I'm a female prisoner, why do you want me to help you manage people?"
Xie Chen crossed his arms, his handsome face was full of calmness, his eyes were deep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"I've thought about what you said yesterday, and I think you're right."
"You always act so arrogantly, and I can't convince you to obey. In this case, I will give you something to do."
"These pirates are hard to deal with, but you have skills, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with them."
Xiangying looked at the token in his hand.
It is made of a block of iron with a word "Ling" on it.
"There are fifty of them. Aren't you afraid that I will join them in a rebellion and escape?"
