Chapter 170 You take advantage of someone’s misfortune!
Xiangying suddenly lost the desire to swim.
She walked up wetly and Jie Chen glanced at her.
He didn't look surprised, obviously he knew Xiangying was here.
However, Xiangying treated him as air.
She took out an outer robe and wrapped it tightly around herself, oblivious to the people around her.
With wet black hair dripping with water, Xiangying was about to leave, but Jie Chen couldn't help but speak first.
"Do you know Lu Feiyi well? Are you confident in handing the child to him?"
Before going to bed tonight, the three children wanted to listen to Lu Feiyi talk about his past experiences. The little ones treated these as stories.
Therefore, Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang fell asleep next to Lu Feiyi. Xiang Xiuxiu also wanted to stay, but she still had the modesty of a girl, so she let Tao Xue take her back.
I didn't expect Jie Chen to notice these things as well.
Xiangying paused, turned his head and looked back, his phoenix eyes flashing with sparkling light.
"What is my relationship with the deputy general? I will naturally worry about my child, so I won't bother the deputy general."
Xie Chen frowned slightly, and his handsome and upright face was filled with even more coldness.
He is a little colder, but Xiangying is even colder than him!
Xiangying was about to leave when he suddenly heard a rustling noise coming from the nearby woods.
Jie Chen also heard it, and without waiting for Xiangying to react, he pulled her into the water.
Xiangying stretched out her hand to push him away, but Jie Chen held her tightly.
"Shh." He put his index finger on his lips and pulled Xiangying behind a big rock.
They hid their bodies behind the stones, but they happened to see a group of people sneaking down the hillside in front of them.
It seemed that they had come over from the opposite hillside. If they continued to move forward, they would see the camp of the exile team.
Xiangying frowned.
Who are these people? Judging from their clothes, they don't look like bandits, but more like ordinary people.
Could it be true as Ah Ren said, that there was a group of hungry refugees ahead, and they learned that they were a team carrying supplies, so they came over to steal things?
Judging from the number of people, there are quite a lot.
Xiangying wanted to take a closer look, but he didn't expect that those people would see the deep pool here when they came down the hillside.
They were delighted and quickly walked over here.
If Xie Chen and Xiang Ying go out now, they will definitely be surrounded by these people.
There were so many of them, as many as seventy or eighty!
If they were really refugees affected by the disaster, they would have come prepared today.
As soon as a fierce light flashed across Xiangying's eyes, he was held down by Jie Chen and dived into the water.
Jie Chen put one arm around Xiangying's waist and grabbed a stone in the pool with the other hand.
Under the water, Xiangying's skin looked even whiter, like a piece of finely carved jade.
Her black hair floated like algae beside her delicate face, delicate eyebrows, and kissable lips...
Seeing this, Xie Chen suddenly came back to his senses.
What is he thinking about?
At this moment, the refugees near the pond have become excited.
"There is no water ahead, but there is such a big pool of water in this mountain."
They buried their faces in the water frantically and drank it in big gulps.
Since the famine, water has become increasingly scarce, and food has become even less!
Someone excitedly suggested: "There must be fish in this pond. How about we jump in and catch a few?"
Xiangying was held in Jie Chen's arms, and the two looked up at the human figures reflected on the shore.
They looked like they were about to jump off.
There was a cold light in the depths of Xiangying's phoenix eyes, and she slowly took out a dagger.
If these people dared to jump down, she would kill them like fish.
Xiangying, who has been trained in the end times, knows one thing very well: he who strikes first is the strongest, and he who strikes last will suffer.
However, the refugees who were about to jump into the water were stopped.
The others said, "Let's go to the camp over there and see if there is anything to eat. Our people have already been scouting around during the day. Their food and fodder are all in the rear team. If we start to snatch them, it will be quick."
After discussing it, everyone decided to rob the exile team first.
There is famine now and the government doesn’t care about their lives or deaths, so they have to fight for it on their own!
Everyone took out their kettles, filled them with water, and then left quietly.
Xiangying and his friends had limited vision and were not sure whether these people had gone far.
However, the breath-holding time was too long, and even Xiangying, who was very good at swimming, could not bear it.
She patted Jie Chen's shoulder, pointed at herself, and then pointed at the water.
Meaning, she's going up first.
However, Xie Chen's eyes were deep, filled with a cold black light.
He reached out and held Xiangying's face, then kissed her.
Xiangying was stunned, and before he could react, Jie Chen had already breathed over him.
The kiss between the two went from a simple touch to a deep entanglement.
Finally, Xiangying pulled him up and floated to the surface, only then was he sure that those people had left.
She panted softly, "You took advantage of someone's misfortune?"
The water drops slid down Jie Chen's high brow bones. His long eyebrows touched his temples, and he looked extremely handsome and cold under the moonlight.
"I was clearly trying to help you. It's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but why slander me?" He pretended to be cold.
Xiangying pouted at him secretly.
"The deputy general really said one thing and did another. He was so cold to me before, but he cared about my life and death underwater. Men's hearts are like needles in the sea, and it's hard to figure it out."
Jie Chen glanced at her, his stern face showing some complicated emotions.
Was he the one who turned cold first?
Isn't this what she asked for?
"You can't figure it out because you've never really thought about what I said, but you responded to every word Lu Feiyi said."
Jie Chen suddenly reached out, grasped Xiangying's wrist, and let her place her hand on the scar on his chest.
There is a scar very close to the heart.
Xiangying knows.
Xie Chen said in a cold voice: "It's just that he has scars on his body. You just stared at him for a long time. Is it really that good? Why don't you look at mine?"
After saying that, he let go of her hand and went ashore.
Xiangying chased him and said, "I'm not specifically looking at his scar. Besides, why didn't I see your scar? I even kissed you..."
Before she could finish her words, they heard someone screaming.
Then, noisy fighting sounds rang out in the silent night, and fire was heard from the direction of the exiles' camp.
Xiangying and Jiechen looked at each other, and their expressions immediately turned cold. They moved in tacit understanding and ran back one after the other.
Some tents in the team were set on fire, and the horses were frightened and neighing, running back and forth in the crowd, kicking down many soldiers and prisoners, which was very dangerous.
Jie Chen set off signal fireworks, which enabled the confused soldiers to instantly find their direction. They arranged their troops and began to fight back.
The captives that King Xuan had captured before also took advantage of the chaos to injure people. The prisoners were frightened and ran everywhere, with screams and cries one after another.
"Moxue! Moxue!" Xiangying shouted her name everywhere.
Until she saw Tao Xue being dragged by two men not far away and being thrown down the hillside.
Xiangying's eyes suddenly turned red, and he rushed forward with a dagger in hand.
She pounced on them like a leopard, kicking one of them down with one foot and stabbing another one in the heart with a dagger.
Tao Xue was pulled up by her and cried, "The little princess was just dragged away by a frightened horse!"
