Chapter 181 You Don’t Care What I Think
Xie Chen deliberately opened the oil paper package with a cold face.
"Didn't you say that after that incident, you were you and I was me? Then what does your current behavior mean?"
"It's a reward."
Xiangying finished speaking with a smile, and Jie Chen's eyes suddenly became deep.
Seeing her turning around to wake up the children, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Xiangying raised her dark eyebrows, and her slender eyelashes swept from top to bottom.
"What does this mean, Vice General?"
"Is it fun to tease me, Xiangying? You can do whatever you want to tease me, and you don't care what I think?"
There were ripples in the depths of Xie Chenbo's eyes, as if he was eager to get her answer.
However, Xiangying just smiled and said, "You were the one who was cold to me first, and you asked me what I thought?"
She pushed him away. Jie Chen frowned and was about to talk about Lu Feiyi when he suddenly heard the children's voices.
Xiang Xiuxiu held a pillow and stood under the crystal bead curtain connecting the two rooms.
She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Xie Chen immediately turned serious and put all the food out.
Xiangying walked over and touched the little girl's head.
"Your Uncle Jie Chen was worried that you were hungry, so he came to bring you some food."
"Wow~" Xiang Xiuxiu ran over and looked up at Jie Chen in admiration, "Uncle Jie, you are worthy of being mother's favorite male lover."
The corners of Xie Chen's thin lips twitched, and his eyes were terribly dark, but he never lost his temper with children.
I could only turn my back and say, "Your mother is not a princess now, so I am naturally not a male concubine."
After that, he looked at Xiangying sideways and said, "I have something to do these days. When I can't come, please take care of yourself."
Jie Chen climbed out the window and left, just as quietly as he came.
Xiangying pulled up the other two little ones to eat.
Xiang Yuanxiao held his belly in a daze, shaking his head.
"I can't eat anymore. I really can't eat anymore."
Last night Xiangying prepared a big plate of chicken, roast goose, and a small hot pot of skewers for them.
Who can eat now?
When Tao Xue heard the noise, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. When she learned that it was food sent by Jie Chen, she was quite touched.
"Princess, didn't the deputy general prepare food for us in advance? Why are you still delivering food?"
Xiangying pursed her red lips and smiled innocently: "You're worried that we won't have enough to eat if we're hungry."
She could also see that Jie Chen had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
He is handsome, strong, and like a loyal dog, with a cold face but a warm heart.
Good, she likes it a little bit.
I slept until morning.
The Sixth Prince's guards banged on the door.
Xiangying put the egg custard that the children had finished eating under the bed.
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi hurriedly wiped the mouths of the three little ones.
As soon as Tao Xue opened the door, the guards shouted at them: "Last night, the governor's mansion and the military camp were robbed one after another. The Sixth Prince arranged for us to search!"
After saying that, he pushed Tao Xue aside and walked in.
The whole house was filled with a strange aroma, as if it was the scent of meat.
The guard looked around in confusion: "Search everywhere thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched."
"Yes!" the others answered.
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.
The guards used their swords to pick up things and searched everywhere.
The package of food under the bed will soon be found.
They both cast anxious glances at Xiangying, only to see her leaning against the door frame calmly.
"We have been under strict surveillance since we moved in last night. It is impossible to leave this house with so many guards surrounding us. What does the lost things in your prefectural governor's mansion have to do with us?"
The guard glanced at her coldly and said, "Two guards suddenly fainted in your yard last night. Do you dare to say you didn't know about it?"
Most likely they were the two that Jie Chen knocked out.
Xiangying folded his arms and sneered: "What? Two people fainted? You must have fainted because of hunger."
"Since you are here just in time, I would like to ask, when will I be given food and water?"
"We finished the tea that was delivered yesterday a long time ago. The three children and the three adults are all hungry. Can you do anything about it?"
"You have time to search the house, but no time to deliver water?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and grabbed the guard's arm: "How about you stay here and ask your colleagues to bring you food, and then I will let you go?"
A trace of fear flashed across the guard's eyes.
He had heard of the skills of the Princess of Western Zhou. If he fought her head-on, he would not get any good results under her hands.
And now the Sixth Prince does not allow her to be harmed.
So the guards stopped searching and waved their arms away in fear, avoiding Xiangying's grip.
"Someone will naturally deliver the food," he said, waving his hand, "There's nothing suspicious here, let's go!"
They fled in panic, fearing that Xiangying would be so hungry that he would leave them behind.
If the guard had taken a few steps forward, he would have seen a corner of the bundle sticking out from under the bed.
Tao Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
"My heart is in my throat. It will be terrible if they see me."
Xiangying smiled.
Actually, she was not afraid when she saw it, because she had just calculated that there were only seven people coming in to search the room.
Killing or knocking him out is easy.
However, Xiangying is not going to expose herself yet, she wants to wait a little longer.
The Sixth Prince must be anxious since he lost so many things.
Maybe he would start to suspect Jie Chen.
Just as Xiangying expected, the Sixth Prince sent people to search for the exile team led by Jie Chen on the pretext of losing food and money.
Since they couldn't find their own food and supplies, they seized the food and fodder of Li Chen's team.
The skinny monkey wanted to go up and argue with them: "This is ours..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was knocked down by a punch from the Sixth Prince's trusted guard.
"What do you mean by yours or mine? This all belongs to South Vietnam. The Sixth Prince is here under the order of the Emperor to supervise and inspect the various exile teams. Now that the food for the main exile team is lost, you should contribute your own. From now on, the Sixth Prince will distribute the food uniformly."
The skinny monkey clenched his fist and shouted: "Why!"
The soldiers behind him also came forward, and everyone was extremely dissatisfied.
The Sixth Prince's men were not willing to be outdone and pushed the skinny monkey: "Why, you want to fight? Do you know the consequences of fighting in the military camp?"
"Serious offenders will be punished with 300 blows of the military stick. If you dare to make a move, just try it. I have the Sixth Prince behind me, who is protecting you?"
The skinny monkey and the sour scholar were so angry that their veins popped out, but they didn't take any action.
Because I was afraid of causing trouble for Jie Chen.
However, a cold voice came over: "Our rule is that whoever starts the trouble will be punished with a military stick."
Everyone turned their heads and saw Jie Chen coming.
The tense atmosphere a little lessened, and the Sixth Prince's men bowed and stepped back a few steps.
Until Jie Chen came to him, he lowered his eyes and said coldly: "You came to my barracks to move food and grass. Did you get my consent?"
The Sixth Prince's guard said stubbornly, "This is the order of His Highness the Sixth Prince."
"No one's orders will work. The exile team is escorting prisoners, and all the rules should be obeyed by the emperor."
After Xie Chen said this, he held the other man's neck and pushed him towards the skinny monkey.
He instructed coldly: "Beat him, throw him out after beating him, and tell your Highness that you have to find back the things you lost by your own ability, and don't try to snatch them from others to make up for the trouble you have caused."
The Sixth Prince's guards widened their eyes and pointed at Jie Chen: "You are so brave, you are just a deputy general, how could you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was knocked down by a punch from the skinny monkey.
Everyone attacked him in unison, venting their anger.
The sour scholar calmly walked to Jie Chen and whispered, "Master, this is considered making an enemy of the Sixth Prince."
Xie Chen remained calm, his thin lips pursed in a cold tone: "We have been enemies for a long time, so I am not afraid of another one."
That afternoon.
Xiangying waited until the little maid came to bring food.
This time it was still a pot of tea.
The little maid saw Xiangying narrowing his eyes, so she was afraid of being implicated and shrank her neck.
She said carefully: "This... I can't do anything about it. It was the Sixth Prince's order. They lost their food, but the deputy general refused to donate his own food to everyone, so you can only starve."
Xiangying laughed when he heard this.
It seems that the Sixth Prince failed to snatch Jie Chen’s things and is trying to divert the conflict?
She took the tea with a warm expression: "It's okay, we have enough to drink. Tell the Sixth Prince that we only need to drink one pot every two days."
After saying that, she closed the door, leaving the little maid stunned.
What kind of god is this, drinking a pot of wine every two days?
evening.
The Sixth Prince sat in his own tent and raised his eyes coldly: "Did she really say that?"
