Chapter 73 He is the father of the child, so what am I?
A schematic diagram of the interior of the pirates' stronghold.
"Where did you get it?" Xie Chen frowned.
Xiangying straightened his sleeves while explaining, "The government has wanted to wipe out these pirates for a long time. Once, an official pretended to be a kidnapped fisherman and risked his life to enter the village."
"It was he who drew this map and submitted it to the imperial court to help it suppress bandits. Unfortunately, after the dog father emperor got it, he just threw it aside."
"I saw it once on his desk, and now it comes in handy."
In fact, Xiangying searched through the space last time when he was looking for the jade seal.
Because she had almost emptied the palace, this was found on the table in the emperor's study.
Xie Chen looked at the picture, which was a detailed drawing of the village.
With such an accurate map of the pirates' old house, why worry about not wiping them out?
But Xiangying can remember it after just one look?
"You have a good memory, huh?" Jie Chen raised his eyebrows, seeming a little unconvinced.
Xiangying did not intend to delve into this issue.
"It's okay. If I drew it wrong, then I remembered it wrong. Anyway, it would be great if you can use it."
After she left, Xie Chen studied the map of the village carefully.
Two days later, patrolling soldiers discovered corpses floating in the water.
Judging from the direction, they all floated down from upstream.
This means that they are getting closer and closer to the pirates' stronghold!
If we can get out of Hulukou safely, we can reach Luzhou in a few days.
But there were so many corpses, both men and women, and some of them looked like they had been killed not long ago.
The prisoners on the ship began to get scared.
There is also a rumor circulating among people.
It is said that the pirates killed them all, and they were the ones who refused to give any money or property.
Others say that when the Western Zhou court deployed thousands of soldiers to suppress the bandits, they all failed here.
The pirates are definitely not that easy to deal with. Maybe all six of their ships will sink here.
For a moment, everyone was in a panic.
In addition, the three military supervisors including Jie Chen took turns on duty every day to strengthen the soldiers' patrols.
Everyone felt that the matter was more serious.
That night, Xiangying was sleeping and suddenly opened his eyes.
She barely needed any time to react before she reached out and grabbed the hand that was trying to pull away her quilt.
"It's me!" The other party lowered his voice.
Xiangying frowned: "Fang Gan?"
In the dark night, the water roars and the moonlight is dark blue.
Fang Gan was wearing a nightgown, as black as a crow, except for his puppy eyes, which were sparkling.
But there was no smile at this moment.
"Pirates are difficult to deal with. These ships will definitely not be able to get through. Princess, I have arranged a small boat to take you and the child away."
Xiangying sat up and looked around.
I found that the three children were asleep, Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi were both sleeping soundly.
This is not right.
She pushed Xiang Xiuxiu next to her: "Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu? Fang Gan, what did you do to them?"
Seeing the anger in Xiangying's eyes, Fang Gan hurriedly explained: "When they were drinking soup at night, I drugged them."
Xiangying raised his fist to hit him, but Fang Gan dodged immediately: "Don't hit me! I drugged them because I was afraid they would make a noise at night and cause trouble."
"Anyway, stop talking nonsense. Princess, come with me. I will hold the three children."
Xiangying smoothed her hair and covered the children with the quilt again.
"I'm not leaving. If you want to leave, go by yourself."
"You... Princess, do you know how cruel those pirates are? There are tens of thousands of souls who died at their hands!"
Fang Gan lowered his voice and said hurriedly, "Besides, they have the advantage of occupying the gorge and attacking from top to bottom. How long do you think these South Vietnamese soldiers can resist?"
Xiangying's phoenix eyes were cold, like two shining crescent moons in the dark night.
"I don't care how cruel they are, I just go my own way and it doesn't affect them."
What's more, she was hoping these pirates would attack.
The four explosive packs she prepared were not vegetarian.
Moreover, these pirates are numerous, so they must have a lot of supplies.
When Xiangying thought of this, his eyes lit up again, and he even wanted to take a look at the pirates' lair.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her no matter what he did, Fang Gan looked sad.
"You are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of your death and the death of my three children."
He looked at Xiangying and said, "Do you have anything important on you that you want me to keep? In case something unexpected happens, you won't have time to hide it."
Xiangying raised her eyebrows: "What are you talking about? The jade seal?"
Fang Gan was a little surprised: "You have the imperial seal with you?"
"I'm not going to take your life." Xiangying grabbed his ear and dragged him out, preparing to throw him out.
She opened and closed her red lips, her tone cold: "Use your melon seed-sized brain to think about it, if I really have the jade seal, can I give it to you for safekeeping?"
Fang Gan was pulled by her ear, grimacing in pain: "Why don't you trust me? I'm yours, and I'm the father of three children. Am I not trustworthy?"
"I don't believe you." Xiangying said, opened the door and was about to throw him out.
Who would have expected.
I saw Jie Chen with a scar on his face standing outside the door.
I don't know how long they have been here.
Scarface looked stunned, while Jie Chen's handsome and cold face seemed frozen, revealing a bone-chilling chill.
He probably heard what was said just now.
Xiangying frowned: "Why are you here too?"
Scarface said hurriedly, "Princess, the military supervisor is here to transfer you and your child safely. We are afraid that bandits will get on board and hurt you."
Xiangying looked at Jiechen.
The latter's narrow eyes were fixed on Fang Gan.
"He is the father of the child?" Xie Chen finally spoke, his voice cold and full of hostility, "Then what am I?"
Fang Gan throws off Xiangying's shackles.
He met Jie Chen's gaze fearlessly: "You were just the eldest princess's male favorite before, what do you think you are now? Do you still want to be the father of the child?"
Xie Chen looked at Xiang Ying, his eyes were as dark and cold as a deep abyss, as if a bone-chilling snowstorm was brewing in them.
"Xiangying, tell me yourself, whose are these three children?"
Xiangying didn't want to lie to him anymore.
But damn, even after thinking back over the original owner’s memories, he still had no idea who the child’s biological father was.
What’s outrageous is that, apart from Li Chen, the original owner didn’t seem to have any close contact with anyone else.
For her, handsome men seemed to have no other use except drinking and cuddling.
But people’s memories will forget certain things, especially when the original owner had so many male favorites.
Xiangying couldn't tell who the three children belonged to.
She held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little headache: "Wait for me to think clearly and tell you."
There was a flash of cold rage in Xie Chenbo's eyes.
"So, you are still using me."
He drew his sword suddenly, and when Scarface thought he was going to hurt Xiangying, Jie Chen stabbed Fang Gan instead.
However, Fang Gan's skills were also good. The two of them fought with swords flashing and clanging, which attracted the patrolling soldiers nearby.
The military supervisor arrived and was shocked: "What are you doing?"
The soldiers came forward to help, but Fang Gan was outnumbered and was captured immediately.
"Jie Chen, you are despicable! Do you have a chance of winning in a one-on-one match? All you know is to ask for help!"
Xie Chen ignored him and walked calmly to Xiangying.
He stared at her for a moment, and a sudden sneer escaped from his thin lips.
"How can I believe that you are really different? You are still the same as before, full of lies and calculations."
After that, he ordered Scarface: "Take the three children away!"
Xiang Ying's eyes narrowed: "Who dares!"
She tried to stop Scarface, but unexpectedly, Jie Chen hit her on the back of the neck.
Xiangying said that he couldn't afford to play, so why was he being so sneaky?
She lost consciousness and fell limply, and was caught by Jie Chen.
Scarface was at a loss: "What should I do, Military Supervisor? Are you still taking the child with you?"
"No, leave it here and let Taoxue watch it." After Jie Chen said this, he lowered his eyes to look at Xiangying in his arms.
He knew that she was good at fighting, and what he said just now was just to divert her attention.
Xiangying used the child to deceive him all the way.
He was responsible but remained in the dark.
According to his previous temper, he should have thrown Xiangying into the water and drowned him.
However, Xie Chen's jawline was tense as he looked at her bright and unconscious face, remembering her fearless eyes.
Finally, Xie Chen picked up Xiangying and carried him horizontally, not allowing anyone to follow.
Scarface looked at his receding back and scratched the back of his head: "This is bad."
Military Supervisor Xie hates deception the most. Can Xiangying's life still be easy?
