Chapter 96 Don't stand out, staying alive is important
Xie Chen refused to let go.
It seemed that as long as Xiangying didn't give him the answer he wanted to hear, he would still pick her up and send her away by force.
"I..." Xiangying spoke in a low voice with a long ending, which attracted Jie Chen to listen attentively.
suddenly!
Xiangying suddenly raised his right arm and hit Jie Chen's nose with his elbow.
He groaned in pain, then let go and staggered back.
There was a rustling sound of wind, and it was Xiangying who wrapped himself up again with his robe.
The sidelong phoenix eyes were exceptionally dark, cold and lucid.
"No matter what I think, there is no need to explain it to General Jie."
Jie Chen endured the pain and raised his dark eyes to look at her.
He seemed to be the person closest to Xiangying on the entire ship, but she still remained vigilant towards him.
Instead, he gradually relaxed his guard against her.
Xiangying held her wet hair and spoke calmly with her red lips:
"If I run away now, wouldn't I really become a slave of a conquered country? Only a coward would desert the battlefield."
"The Western Zhou Dynasty has fallen, and you are now an exiled prisoner." Jie Chen had to remind him in a hoarse voice.
Xiangying raised her beautiful eyebrows and said: "People without value are called prisoners, and people with value are called nobles. The deputy general will thank me."
Xie Chen was almost laughed out of anger by her.
This woman seems to have no idea how to write the word "timid" and is always full of high self-confidence.
"Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to advise you. I can only remind you to be careful. The deputy general is not someone you can easily deal with."
After Xie Chen finished speaking, he secretly mocked himself for being overly concerned, then opened the door and strode out.
Suan Xiucai was waiting not far away. When he saw Xie Chen coming, he was shocked: "Jianjun Xie, you have a nosebleed!"
Xie Chen was startled, then he drew his sword.
In the reflection of the mirror-like sword blade, he saw two streaks of blood under his nose.
So, he just spoke to Xiangying in such a dignified manner?
Jie Chen wiped away the blood with his big palm and said coldly: "Send a secret letter for me!"
He helped Xiangying one last time, and from then on, he would never care about her again.
She was right, the two of them had no relationship, and were even enemies with a national hatred.
He has done what he should do, and now we don't owe each other anything, which is good too!
Xiangying returned to his residence from the bathing cabin.
The children were all asleep, except Xiang Yuanxiao, who sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Why did you take so long?" the little guy asked.
As the eldest brother, Xiang Yuanxiao always has a lot to worry about.
For example, when Xiangying goes to take a shower, no matter how sleepy he is, he will keep his eyes open and wait for her to come back.
Xiangying turned her back to him, sorting her bag, and said softly, "I heard we'll be arriving in Luzhou soon. Mother needs to get ready. You should go to sleep first."
Xiang Yuanxiao opened his sleepy eyes and watched her wrap something in three layers of handkerchiefs and then put it in her purse.
The next morning.
The ship is about to arrive at Changping Ferry, the largest ferry in Luzhou.
Xiangying was distributing wontons that she made in the morning to the children.
The skin is thin and the filling is large, floating in the bone soup, with a little sesame oil and pepper, and your mouth is full of fragrance after one bite.
After Xiang Yuanlang finished eating, he took Xiang Xiuxiu out to play.
Tao Xue couldn't help but remind them: "We are about to dock, everyone is busy packing up, the two little princes must not get close to the railing, lest you fall off!"
Xiang Xiuxiu nodded obediently: "I will protect my second brother and won't let him fall to the bottom and feed the fish!"
The two of them left together, and Xiang Yuanxiao stayed behind, like a little adult, helping Xiang Ying put away the iron pots used for cooking.
Seeing this, Xiangying couldn't help but smile and said, "We don't need that pot anymore. When we get to Luzhou, we'll have a better one."
Xiang Yuanxiao pouted, looking a little disapproving.
"I've heard the people on the ship talking about it. The deputy general of South Vietnam is angry with you and wants to execute you. I will protect you. When the time comes, this iron pot will be used to smash the deputy general's head."
Xiangying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Taoxue's face turned pale: "If the deputy general really makes trouble, with the ability of Jie Jianjun and others, can they protect us?"
"Why rely on others? I can protect you all just by relying on myself." Xiangying smiled with her red lips, bright and generous.
She spoke with great confidence, but Tao Xue was still a little uneasy.
Qi Fengyi sharpened the wooden stick for piercing fish, tied it behind his back, and said sternly: "If anyone dares to hurt the princess, we will rebel."
Xiangying comforted Taoxue and her: "When the time comes, you will take good care of the three children for me and don't act rashly."
Seeing Xiang Yuanxiao pretending to be mature, Xiang Ying promised: "After we pass Luzhou, I promise that we will ride in a carriage, ride real horses, and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Xiang Yuanxiao snorted, "Blow it up! Don't stand out. Staying alive is what's important."
At this moment, Xiang Yuanlang, who had just left, hurried back with Xiang Xiuxiu.
His usually cold face now had a serious look. He ran too fast and was panting heavily.
Xiangying's expression suddenly became serious, and he glanced behind him: "What's wrong, is someone bullying you?"
Xiang Xiuxiu was also out of breath: "Just now, my second brother talked to a bird that flew over, and then he pulled me back. We haven't even played anything yet, but I'm already so tired!"
When Xiangying heard this, he knew that Xiang Yuanlang must have been secretly training his abilities again.
"Come here, I'll tell you alone." Xiang Yuanlang took Xiang Ying's hand.
The mother and son walked to a corner, and Xiang Yuanlang whispered something. Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi saw that Xiang Ying's face also turned pale and cold.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
Xiang Yuanlang nodded decisively. Although he was young, his voice was calm which did not match his age.
"Don't be afraid of it being fake, just be afraid of it being real. Be prepared early."
After he finished speaking, Xiangying pondered for a moment, then immediately stood up and told Taoxue and Qi Fengyi: "Go and call Yupin, Lingxiang, and the Seventh Princess over. Don't alarm the other soldiers."
The two felt that the matter was of great importance and went there immediately.
Xiang Yuanlang had just told her that the birds flying over came from Changping Ferry in Luzhou.
It heard a man riding a tall horse say that all the women on the six ships would be sent to be raped by the South Vietnamese soldiers.
They will capture and control Xiangying and others as soon as they get off the boat.
On the entire ship, except for about a hundred soldiers and captains, there were about sixty people left, of which nearly fifty were women.
This deputy general was determined to humiliate Xiangying and torture all the other female members of the family.
After the other three arrived and closed the door, Xiang Ying said, "Once we get off the boat, some soldiers might come and arrest us and send us to be humiliated by the South Vietnamese soldiers."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the women in the room turned pale.
Xiangying immediately added: "If that's the case, pull up your sleeves immediately and show them the strange disease on your body."
Tao Xue was so scared that she almost cried: "But, but I don't have any strange diseases. Damn it, if I had known that I was infected with the plague, I would not have let these bastards get away with it!"
Xiangying suddenly took out a package he had prepared from behind him.
"Crush this between your fingertips."
When they saw it, they were surprised and said, "This is..."
