Chapter 99: Run! It's a hornet's nest
As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi called out to the people around them in tacit understanding: "Hurry up and jump into the water!"
After saying that, the two of them took the lead, holding the three little ones, jumped into the river behind them, and buried their whole bodies in the water.
Meanwhile, the deputy general had unpacked the package and saw a hornet's nest the size of his head.
He was so shocked that before he could throw it away, Xiangying split the hornet's nest with his sword.
The buzzing sound instantly surrounded the deputy general.
The armored soldiers around him suddenly became panicked.
Xiangying didn't have time to jump into the water. Jie Chen broke free from his restraints and rushed over to protect her under his body.
General Ke had rushed over at some point and pressed on Jie Chen.
They protected each other like this, and heard the deputy general screaming from time to time: "Quick, bring a shield, ouch!"
At some point, the buzzing sound disappeared.
Xie Chen then pushed General Ke and stood up again while holding Xiangying.
General Ke cried out in pain with a sniffle, and Xiangying glanced over.
He was stung on his eyelids and lips, and had a row of stings on his arms.
Looking at Jie Chen again, it seemed that he had a wound on the back of his hand.
Xiangying approached General Ke and asked with a smile, "It must feel bad to be stung, right?"
General Ke shook his head honestly, sobbing in pain, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"It's not comfortable, it hurts too much," he looked at Jie Chen, "Now I have paid off what I owed you!"
Xie Chen glanced at him and said, "You act on your own initiative."
Having said that, he still had no intention of blaming General Ke.
Xiangying took advantage of General Ke's unpreparedness, patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and secretly gave him an injection of serum.
Too many stings from a wasp can easily lead to death.
At this time, the exiled prisoners hiding in the water came ashore one after another.
Xiangying nodded towards Qi Fengyi and Taoxue with an approving look.
In fact, she had already told Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi about this matter long before landing.
Xiangying is used to having a backup plan. If the deputy general finds out that Walnut has dyed his skin black, she will immediately poke a hornet's nest.
She told Taoxue and the others that when they saw her throwing the bag, they should quickly jump into the water with the rest of the people.
Fortunately, no one among the exiled prisoners was injured.
Xiang Yuanxiao spat out the water plants in his mouth and said, "No wonder I saw her carefully wrapping something up. It turned out to be a hornet's nest!"
He looked at Xiang Yuanlang and said, "Second brother, you helped her get such a dangerous thing without telling us in advance."
Xiang Yuanlang twisted the water stain on his clothes and said calmly: "It wasn't me who caused it. It's so big, I was afraid too."
"Could she have cut it off with her own hands?" Xiang Yuanxiao was stunned.
Xiang Xiuxiu clapped her hands beside her: "Mom is the best!"
At this time, exclamations from the Iron Armored Army were heard nearby.
"Oh no! The deputy general has been stung and is unconscious!"
Xiangying turned his head and saw that the deputy general was unable to dodge and was closest to a hornet's nest, so he was stung and turned into a pig's head.
Jie Chen wanted to go over to check the situation, but Xiangying held his hand.
"Why do you care about him? With so many stings from the wasp, he might die if he's unlucky. You should take this opportunity to stabilize the morale of the troops and take his place."
Her eyes were bright and she became particularly excited when she heard about usurping the throne and leading the team.
However, Xie Chen just looked at her with dark eyes and said, "It's not appropriate now."
He only said this and went to check on the deputy general's condition. Seeing that he was in a bad condition, he immediately ordered all the wounded to be sent back to the tent and asked their military doctor to check on him.
As for Xiangying and the others, they were arranged by Jie Chen to temporarily station at the foot of a temple half a mountain away from the Iron Armor Army camp.
at night.
Jie Chen sent someone to deliver a cloth tent, and Xiangying used it to set up a simple tent.
The rest of the exiled prisoners followed her example and set up tents for themselves to rest.
Xiangying threw himself on the soft mat in the tent. Because it was still hot in the summer, although he was not in the deep forest, he still placed insect repellent herbs in the four corners.
The rest of the female family members also gradually calmed down from their frightened state.
At some point, they had a standard in their minds that as long as Xiangying could still smile and talk, then it must be nothing serious.
Xiangying asked Taoxue to set up the pot and prepare a pot of ham stewed with wild mushrooms.
Just then, Jie Chen came back.
Xiangying raised her eyes and looked at him. In the firelight, her phoenix eyes were narrowed with a smile.
"How is it, is the deputy general dead?"
Xie Chen frowned: "No."
Xiangying tutted his words and flicked the match twice with a stick: "He's lucky."
Xie Chen pursed his lips and motioned Xiangying to talk over there.
The two of them arrived at the foot of the hillside. Looking forward, they saw the river water sparkling in the moonlight, and going up, they saw the Yue Lao Temple, which was bustling with incense.
However, because of the war, everyone was busy looking for new livelihoods, and there were very few people worshiping gods.
"Are you sure you don't want to leave? The deputy general just came to his senses and issued an order that you must die."
Xiangying sneered: "Let him send someone to see who died. This time it was a wasp, but I can't guarantee what it will be next time."
Xie Chen's eyes were dark: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
Xiangying didn't answer him.
Because she was not afraid at all. She hoped the situation would be as chaotic as possible. If she was afraid, she would not have followed their exile team.
Xiangying looked at Jie Chen with interest: "I know you have your own secrets in your heart. I was sure it was you at the City Garrison in Yucheng that day."
Xie Chen remained calm, his jawline tense: "You're wrong."
Xiangying smiled and said, "Then why don't you ask me why I appeared in the city garrison, but directly deny that I was mistaken?"
Jie Chen frowned and suddenly looked at her with sharp eyes.
"Xiangying!" There was a warning in his words, as if blaming her for talking too much.
Xiangying crossed her arms and said calmly, "Actually, I know you can't stand the brutal way South Vietnam kills people on sight."
"Jie Chen, whether you believe it or not, to some extent, we both have the same goal."
"So, if you want to rebel and lead this group on your own, I can help you."
Her eyes were sparkling and sparkling.
And Jie Chen just sneered suddenly.
Did she know what his purpose was?
Xie Chen turned around and said, "I don't need it. You are not allowed to mention the matter of Yucheng again."
As he was about to leave, Xiangying chased after him and asked, "Do you want me to take a look at the wasp sting on your hand?"
"No need." Xie Chen turned away.
"Then when are we going into town to buy things?" Xiangying asked what she cared about most.
Xie Chen's voice came from afar: "Wait for my order."
Xiangying smiled and said obediently, "Okay, I'll wait."
No way.
If she waited, she would not be Sang-yeong.
Xiangying observed that because the deputy general and General Ke were both injured, there were fewer soldiers guarding them tonight.
Only Skinny Monkey and Sour Scholar were the main force and stayed behind with their soldiers.
But for them, Xiangying had already become a member of the team, so they did not keep a close eye on him.
Even when they were eating mushroom soup together in the evening, the soldiers and the exiled prisoners sat together, and it seemed that the repressive relationship before was no longer there.
It was late at night, and Xiangying noticed that Chen had not returned yet, so he must still be with the deputy general.
She quietly stood up, and with her great skills, she climbed out of the tent and left into the darkness.
However, her target was not the large granary in the city.
Instead, he headed straight for the location of the deputy general's camp halfway up the mountain.
That's right, she was attracted by their food, fat horses, and the gold, silver and jewelry they had looted along the way.
Since the vice general is still alive, Xiangying decides to give him another heavy blow.
