Chapter 199 People have many faces and their hearts are ever-changing
When Jie Chen came back, he saw Xiang Ying smiling brightly at Lu Feiyi.
As they talked, they both touched A-Ren's head.
It looked like a family of three.
Xie Chen looked back at Xiangying's own child.
The three little ones are next to me, studying very well.
Xie Chen frowned, walked over and said, "Xiangying, come with me to the tent."
Xiangying was smiling, and when he turned around and saw Jiechen coming back, his eyes lit up.
She hurriedly caught up and followed Jie Chen's footsteps into the tent.
"Why did you come back so early? Shouldn't you go to the porridge stall?"
Xie Chen was taking off his armor. Hearing this, he glanced sideways with doubt in his eyes.
"How do you know that?"
Xiangying coughed lightly and said, "I did it, so of course I can guess how it will develop."
Xie Chen put down his sword and placed his armor on the shelf.
He raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I knew it was you."
Using a little bit of rice grains as a clue, he attracted the imperial envoy's attention.
They also discovered the cave where the Sixth Prince hid his weapons.
Xie Chen clearly remembered that he and Xiangying had already moved out of this place.
How is it possible that the weapons will come back overnight?
After thinking about it, it could only be Xiangying who did it.
He walked to the table, picked up the written letter and handed it to Xiangying.
"For you."
Xiangying was startled: "What is this?"
She unfolded it and looked at it. Her smiling face gradually turned cold, like white and cold jade.
"Jie Chen, what do you mean, why are you asking someone to send me away again?"
This letter was written by Xie Chen to his staff and confidants, asking them to receive Xiangying and the children.
Xie Chenbo's eyes were dark: "Don't be angry yet, I'm not sending you back to Xizhou, I'm sending you to Shangjing first."
Xiangying was stunned.
Xie Chen continued, "I have several mansions there, and I can arrange for you to stay there secretly first. It's better than you following the exile team into the capital."
After all, the meaning is different. Once Xiangying follows the exile team into the city, he will be detained on the spot by the people sent by the emperor and become a prisoner.
Now she doesn't know that her father has already offered her to his father as a bargaining chip.
Xie Chen was reluctant to say it, for he was afraid that Xiangying would not be able to accept it.
Xiangying put down the letter, and a hint of doubt appeared on her beautiful eyes.
"I don't understand. You arranged for me to leave early, but then asked me to follow you to the capital. Do you want to let me go, or do you want to lock me up?"
As she spoke, she rested her palms on the table, leaning forward slightly, her eyes stern.
Jie Chen calmly met her gaze.
"I want to keep you, stay with me, and protect you."
He said in a low and serious voice: "I will wrong you at first. You will have to live in my mansion for a while and you can't go out. But give me some time. Within three months, I can let you walk openly in Shangjing City."
Xiangying frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Chen did not hide anything, but simply said: "The reason why I came back is to settle the hatred. After I deal with my own affairs, we... will talk about our affairs."
Xiangying saw that he was extremely sincere.
She fell into a slight daze.
Yes, she admitted that she had some feelings for Jie Chen, and it was definitely not just the kind of feeling of lusting after his body.
But she never thought about spending her whole life with one man.
Xie Chen's words...does that mean he wants to marry her?
Xiangying, who had lived in the end times, was used to being alone.
When she thought about being permanently bound to someone for the rest of her life, she actually hesitated.
Xie Chen seemed to see her hesitation and frowned: "What are you thinking about?"
Xiangying came back to his senses: "I won't leave. I want to follow the exile team into the city. I don't want to accept your arrangement."
"Why?"
"Jie Chen, I'm not someone who likes to be passive. You asked me to stay in the room and wait for you to handle everything, but don't you understand my character? I'm not that kind of person."
Xie Chen's eyes were like endless deep pools.
He looked at Xiangying, and after a moment, a faint smile escaped from his thin lips.
"You are right. You are not the type to be kept as a mistress in a golden house, so I naturally cannot restrict you. Then what I just said, our business..."
Xiangying grabbed Jie Chen's hand.
It was his turn to be stunned.
Xiangying narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let's not think too far ahead. Once you have dealt with your affairs and I have completed my goals, we can discuss the future."
After saying this, she withdrew her hand happily, turned around and hurried out of the tent.
Xie Chenbo's eyes were cold, revealing a hint of complex emotions.
He keenly sensed that Xiangying...didn't want to have a future with him.
Before Xie Chen even uttered the words of marrying her, she had implicitly rejected him.
So he thought that Xiangying and he were in love with each other, but it was just his thought?
That day, Xie Chen sat in silence until midnight.
For the next five or six days, Xie Chen did not stay in the camp.
Lian Xiangying hasn't seen him for several days. I heard that he was either busy setting up a stall to distribute porridge or making friends with various forces.
Prince Yong intended to promote him, and Lu Hong even wanted to arrange for Jie Chen to marry his daughter Lu Panchu.
I heard that they went boating on the lake together yesterday.
When Xiangying heard the news, she actually felt sad.
Oh no, she must have eaten something wrong!
So these days, Xiangying forced himself not to pay attention to any news about Jie Chen.
She spends most of her time hiding in her own space, feeding cartoon characters frantically.
Speaking of which, these villains are quite capable. Every now and then they will arrange a group of teams to go out and recruit soldiers.
The original number of 50,000 has gradually grown to 70,000.
Xiangying's goal of feeding 100,000 people will soon be achieved.
She spared no effort in throwing food, cattle, sheep and horses into the screen.
Lu Feiyi seemed to notice that Xiangying was absent-minded these days, so he asked her to go feed the horses together.
He took the initiative to talk about Jie Chen and Lu Panchu.
"Actually, even if you don't say it, I can feel that you don't like Jie Chen and Lu Panchu being together, but what's wrong with the two of you? One of you doesn't come back, and the other doesn't talk? I'm not used to it."
Xiangying put the hay into the trough.
Her eyes were dark and her tone was cold: "Don't talk nonsense if it's not true."
Lu Feiyi nodded thoughtfully.
He smiled and said, "When I was a kid, I wandered around everywhere. I envied other people who had relatives and families. But my master who adopted me told me that there was nothing to envy."
“Once you have someone you love or a close relative, you will have weaknesses. If you want to be an indestructible person, it’s best to have no weaknesses.”
Xiangying suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him. Under the sunlight, Lu Feiyi's smile was very warm.
This made Xiangying think of his master.
He also said something similar -
"Yingying, in the end times, don't believe that anyone can stay with you forever. People have many faces and their hearts are ever-changing."
She has followed her master since she was young, and these ideas have always been with her.
Don't pin your hopes on others, and you will never be disappointed; don't test people's hearts, and you will never be hurt by them.
Xiangying felt more and more annoyed.
She threw all the hay into the trough: “I will go and see what we will have for lunch.”
Lu Feiyi turned around and followed her figure with his eyes. His smile remained unchanged, but the look in his eyes gradually deepened.
Xiangying had only taken two steps when the skinny monkey came running over.
"Sister-in-law, um... Miss Lu sent someone to take you to the governor's mansion."
