Chapter 234 Lock Them Together
In the wind and snow, Xie Chen walked towards Xiang Ying.
Each of his steps was very heavy and his body swayed slightly, as if he was trying hard not to fall down.
The guards who had surrounded Xiangying retreated vigilantly as if they had seen a flood or a beast.
Only Xiangying walked over quickly.
"Who told you to come out!" Xiangying frowned and reached out to support him.
Jie Chen was so stubborn. She even locked the door, but he still couldn't help but break the window and jump out?
Xie Chen looked at her, the wind and snow ruffling his dark hair, making his usually sharp and straight brows now conceal an extreme tenderness.
"I heard the sound, I can't just ignore it." He said while coughing and pulled Xiangying behind him.
How could the Sixth Prince miss such a great opportunity?
He immediately said, "Jie Chen! I never thought that you would dare not report that you were infected with the plague. Do you know that doing so would harm everyone in the team?"
Xie Chen raised his eyes, and his gloomy gaze fell coldly on the Sixth Prince's face.
"Let Xiangying go. It has nothing to do with her."
The Sixth Prince waved his sleeves and said firmly: "Do you think I can still show leniency to her at this time? She has been in and out of your room these past two days. You have close contact with each other. There is no guarantee that she will not be infected with the plague."
"I have already told the general that those infected with the plague must be burned on the spot immediately. Jie Chen, don't blame me for being cruel. Come, tell the general about this as soon as possible!"
"Yes." A guard rode out at full speed.
Xiangying took a step forward and stared at the Sixth Prince: "I advise you to forgive others when you can. If you let us go, I will also let you go if I have the chance in the future."
The Sixth Prince sneered, looked at Xiangying, and only four words came out of his lips.
"act recklessly."
Xiangying felt that he was talking about himself.
Xiang Qianqian rolled her eyes and said, "Big sister, if you kill the deputy general now and make amends for your mistake, I will definitely plead with the Sixth Prince for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiangying scolded: "If I want to kill someone, I will kill you first!"
The snow and wind were blew in from behind Xiangying, wrapped in the cold wind, as if adding a knife-like sharpness to her momentum.
Xiang Qianqian clearly saw the murderous intent in her eyes, and she was stunned and quietly took a half step back.
"Since you are so ignorant of the consequences, there is nothing I can say to you." She said angrily and lowered her head.
Xie Chen held Xiangying's hand. He looked forward, but his voice was soft and gentle to her: "They won't let me go easily this time. You should find a way to escape first, and then we can talk about other things."
Xiangying glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
She looked forward, and in the heavy snow and wind, the Sixth Prince and his guards were facing her in an threatening manner. A cold light flashed in her phoenix eyes.
"I, Xiangying, would never abandon my friends at this time."
She looked at Qi Fengyi, and with just one glance, she saw Qi Fengyi holding the sword and decisively walking behind Xiangying.
As she moved, the rest of the pirates gathered around her.
There were also some exiled prisoners who came to Xiangying.
Skinny Monkey and his men also followed decisively. For a moment, the team led by Xiangying was so powerful that it seemed that the Sixth Prince and his men were alone and weak.
The Sixth Prince frowned: "Xiangying, what do you mean by this? Are you going to lead people to rebel?"
After he finished speaking, Xiang Qianqian saw the sword in Qi Fengyi's hand and whispered, "Your Highness, look, isn't that Cao Ming's sword? I'm afraid that the fire in the prefect's mansion was caused by Xiang Ying!"
The Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes, with more cruelty in them.
Xiangying was just a female prisoner, how could she have tricked him and Governor Lu?
They were fighting each other, and she helped Jie Chen to reap the benefits. It was so hateful!
This woman can't stay.
The Sixth Prince waved his hand and ordered: "According to the rules, those who are infected with the plague will be killed on the spot. If the rest of them want to protect them, it will be equivalent to a death penalty."
"Your Highness is here to supervise the exile team under the order of the Emperor. Any disobedience is a serious crime of disrespecting the Emperor. Kill!"
Xie Chen was just about to walk in front of Xiangying to stop them, but unexpectedly his sleeves were grabbed by three small hands, one on the left and one on the right.
He looked down and saw that the three little ones had squeezed into the crowd without him knowing when.
Xiang Xiuxiu stood on tiptoe and lifted up the thick cloak: "Uncle Jie, put it on quickly."
Xiang Yuanxiao handed over a crossbow: "This is what I secretly kept when I was in Bugui Mountain last time. It was originally for emergency use. Now I will lend it to you. Remember to return it to me when the time comes."
Xiang Yuanlang gave him his armor.
"My mother gave it to me. Put it on and don't die." The little guy was as indifferent as ever.
Xie Chen was deeply touched and was about to speak, but the guards did not give them much time to communicate.
The guards raised their spears and were about to rush over to hurt people.
Xiangying had already pulled out an iron whip with an inverted tip.
This was what she found in the space. It was probably brought in during a looting. Although she didn't know whose weapon it was, the whole iron whip looked very much like a scorpion's tail, with sections and very sharp, and sharp barbs at both ends of each section.
It should be conceivable that if this whip were to hit a person, that person would be covered in blood.
Just when the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, someone rode up quickly on horseback, shouting:
“Don’t do anything!!”
Turning around, he saw that it was General Bu Feng who was coming with a group of his subordinates.
As soon as he saw him, the Sixth Prince said, "Lord Bu, you came at the right time. Jie Chen was infected with the disease and not only did he not abide by the rules, he also wanted to lead people to rebel."
Bu Feng got off his horse, first bowed to the Sixth Prince, and then respectfully saluted Jie Chen.
Seeing his attitude, the Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes.
Then, Bu Feng took out the python token from his arms. The Sixth Prince recognized it as the token of Prince Yong at first sight.
"The prince has just sent someone to deliver a message at full speed. He will soon come to see the deputy general. Before that, no one can touch the deputy general. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The Sixth Prince frowned and cursed Prince Yong in his heart for intervening at the wrong time.
Seeing that Jie Chen was about to commit a bigger mistake, how could King Yong still save his life?
"That being said, it is true that Jie Chen has contracted the disease. Do we want him to stay here and harm others? Lord Bu, you said that there are still tens of thousands of lives in the city. We can't let them be implicated together, right?"
Bu Feng frowned, looking embarrassed.
He thought about it, then walked up to Jie Chen and bowed.
"Deputy General, I hope you can understand that the situation has forced us to do so. I would like to ask you not to go out before Prince Yong arrives. Someone will deliver your daily meals and medicines. What do you think, Deputy General?"
The implication is that Jie Chen should be locked up and kept under guard.
Xiangying was about to speak, but Jiechen pulled him behind him: "Okay."
At this time, the Sixth Prince said sternly: "The criminal Xiangying is so close to Jiechen, she must be infected with the plague. Your Highness believes that she should be locked up as well."
