Chapter 217 Jie Chen, I'll go back with you
Pei Qinglin was slightly startled when he saw Xiangying wearing a woman's skirt.
The purple dress makes her bright eyes and white teeth even more prominent. If she were a woman, I wonder how stunningly beautiful she would be.
Xiangying took the initiative and said, "I was just looking for the princess everywhere, and it turns out that she was rescued by General Pei."
As soon as she spoke, Pei Qinglin came back to his senses.
"Yes, when I attacked just now, I saw the princess' figure and thought it was you."
Pei Qinglin had also heard from Princess Xining that Xiangying had exchanged clothes with her, which gave Princess Xining a chance to escape.
Princess Xining looked at Xiangying approvingly: "Are you a prince?"
She looked him up and down, then burst into laughter and slapped Pei Qinglin on the shoulder.
"I told you a long time ago to find a woman you like and start a family, but you refused. Look at you, now I can't even tell the difference between men and women!"
Pei Qinglin was stunned, looked at Xiangying, and said in surprise: "Prince Wang... is a woman?"
With Jie Chen next to him, Xiangying felt that there was no need to hide it anymore.
Anyway, he will protect her, and frankly speaking, someone will protect her identity.
"I'm sorry, General Pei. I'm a woman and I'm easily bullied when I'm out, so I disguised myself as a man. I had no choice but to lie to you."
Princess Xining could tell at first glance that Xiangying was a woman.
How could a man's clothes have such a faint fragrance? Moreover, her waist was so slender that it was not at all like that of a man.
Pei Qinglin thought of Xiangying's performance along the way, and he hurriedly bowed with a look of shame in his eyes.
"So you are a heroine. I am sorry for offending you before."
Princess Xining turned her gaze to Jie Chen: "I just heard from the soldiers that a deputy general who was escorting exiled prisoners personally led people to suppress the bandits. I guess it must be you?"
She didn't know Jie Chen's true identity, and Jie Chen had no intention of explaining.
He just bowed lightly and said, "I am Jie Chen, your humble servant, to see the princess."
Princess Xining nodded and said, "Send me back to the capital as soon as possible. I didn't want to marry a foreign prince. It's good that this happened. Father can't force me to marry a foreign prince."
Xie Chen nodded and agreed.
He planned to arrange a team of people to follow Pei Qinglin to escort Princess Xining back.
At this time, Pei Qinglin walked up to Xiangying.
After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Miss Wang..., can I know who you are?"
Xie Chen was about to leave, but he saw Pei Qinglin and Xiang Ying talking nearby, so he stayed.
Xiangying was silent for a moment: "My surname is not Wang, my surname is Xiang, the Xiang of the Western Zhou royal family. What do you think my identity is?"
Although Pei Qinglin had a vague guess in his mind when he asked the question just now.
But when he heard Xiangying admit it himself, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you an escaped prisoner?"
Xiangying nodded.
Pei Qinglin frowned, his eyes as deep as ink.
Xiangying guessed that he must be regretting promising her a certificate of innocence.
Xiangying turned his head and saw Xiang Yuanlang standing next to Li Jiechen at some point.
Jie Chen squatted down very patiently, listened to what he said patiently, and then nodded.
I just saw Jie Chen calling Skinny Monkey, and when Xiangying walked over, he heard Jie Chen's instructions.
"There's no need to bury the bodies of those dead bandits. Just carry them to the nearby woods."
The skinny monkey agreed, and after a moment he ran out of the forest screaming.
"Deputy General, these are huge tigers. There are three of them!"
Xiang Yuanlang stood beside him, folding his arms and looking very calm: "You are so old, but you are still so timid."
Xiangying stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, monkey. Those three tigers are the heroes who helped us find these bandits. As long as they are full, they will not come to eat you."
The skinny monkey was so scared that he was trembling and hugged the sour scholar next to him tightly.
"Sister-in-law, you'd better not say anything. It makes me even more scared now."
The word "sister-in-law" stunned Jie Chen and Xiang Ying.
The sour scholar poked him directly in the stomach with his elbow, and the skinny monkey groaned.
Xie Chen said calmly at this time: "Next time if you talk nonsense, I will give you my tongue."
Xiangying took Xiang Yuanlang to the side and sat down to rest.
Xiang Yuanlang blinked and looked at her: "If we want to return to the exile team, we must go and pick up our elder brother and sister in advance."
Xiangying handed him the water bag and glanced at the little guy.
"Who said we should go back to the team?"
"Need I say more? I can see it all. If you don't think so, why don't you leave now?"
Xiang Yuanlang already has a certain understanding of Xiangying's abilities.
As long as she wants to leave, no one can stop her.
Unless she wants to stay.
Xiangying coughed lightly and glanced at Jie Chen's figure in the distance.
"I still have to wait for Pei Qinglin to give us the letter of innocence."
"What's the point of you asking for a letter of innocence? The Emperor of South Vietnam will not stop causing trouble for us just because of this."
Xiangying rubbed his head with a smile: "Of course it's not for us."
She noticed Jie Chen leaving her sight out of the corner of her eye, so she looked away.
The letter of innocence was what she wanted to give to Jie Chen.
Because she fled with the children, the emperor of South Vietnam didn't know how he would bully this poor little thing.
But now that Pei Qinglin has discovered her identity, he may not be willing to give it to her.
Before dawn, Jie Chen and his men were preparing to leave, and saw Xiang Ying leading Xiang Yuanlang, following behind the team.
He turned around and looked at her calmly: "Have you decided?"
Xiangying raised his bright smile and said, "I think your suggestion is very good. I will follow you for now and talk to you when I want to leave."
The sour scholars and skinny monkeys around looked at each other.
The only one who dared to speak to Jie Chen like this was Xiangying.
Sure enough, not only was Xie Chen not angry, he even pretended to be indifferent and said, "If you suddenly run away again next time, I won't be so easy on you."
Having said that, he still got off the horse, walked to Sang-young, picked up Sang Won-rang, and placed him on the horse's back.
Then he picked up Xiangying without saying anything else.
Amid the astonished looks of the surrounding soldiers and Pei Qinglin and others, Xie Chen ordered: "Let's go down the mountain."
Princess Xining sat on Pei Qinglin's horse, raised her eyebrows and looked at Jie Chen's back in front of her.
She bent down and said to Pei Qinglin, "A deputy general is willing to lead the horse for a female prisoner. Most likely he likes her."
Pei Qinglin said subconsciously: "I heard that she is the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is normal that she is beautiful and would be liked by others."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Qinglin felt that he had said too much.
How can you praise the princess of an enemy country? In front of your own princess!
Just as he was about to explain, he heard Princess Xining laugh, "You're right, I also feel that I get along very well with her. If there is a chance after returning to the capital, I must find a way to ask my father to protect her."
She has been practicing martial arts since she was young and has a free and easy personality. When she sees Xiangying, it's like seeing another herself.
The group went to a nearby town.
Xiangying brought Momoyuki and the others over.
Xiang Xiuxiu's cheerful little face suddenly froze when she saw Jie Chen was there too.
Xiang Yuanxiao put her hands on her waist and said to Ah Ren and Tao Xue: "Look, I told you, she can't live without this man! She will still return to him."
Xiangying walked over and pinched the little guy's chubby face directly: "Don't talk nonsense! I saw that you were living too happily, so I am going to take you back to live a hard life."
Xiang Yuanxiao was so angry that he screamed.
Pei Qinglin stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiang... Miss Xiang, this is the letter of innocence I promised to give you. Please accept it."
Just now he met the soldier who had returned to Beijing to report the news, and he actually brought back a letter of innocence.
Xiangying took it and was somewhat touched: "General Pei...are you still willing to give me this?"
Pei Qinglin nodded: "Although our identities are different, a gentleman's words are as good as his bond. I cannot lie to you. As for the future, please take care of yourself, Miss Xiang."
The two men bowed and prepared to say goodbye.
At this moment, at the end of the street not far away, waves of cavalry came galloping, raising dust.
Jie Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at it.
The sour scholar said beside him: "It seems to be the black armor army around the emperor. Why are they here?"
