Chapter 16 Xiangying, you dare to use me
In the darkness of the night, although there was a smile on the yellow-bearded man's face, his slightly narrowed eyes made his expression look eerie and terrifying.
"Princess, this is not an antidote, but candy, right?" He laughed sinisterly.
Xiangying remained calm, her red lips pursed with a cold smile: "Have you never eaten candy? Can't you tell whether it's candy or medicine?"
Yellow Beard's eyes suddenly changed.
He threw the candy to the ground fiercely and cursed: "You're not answering the question! Are you still trying to lie to me?"
In the dark woods nearby, someone quietly stretched out a blow arrow.
The poisonous needle inside, glowing coldly, was aimed at the back of Xiangying's neck.
Yellow Beard cursed in a low voice: "I don't think there is any such thing as poison. How dare you play tricks on me?"
There was a dull look in Xiangying's phoenix eyes.
"The so-called poison is just a chance for me to give you to survive, so that you can have a way out."
"But now I regret it. You are not so honest and obedient. You might as well die."
The yellow-bearded man was extremely domineering, and he opened his arms: "Want to kill me? Come on! If you do it, I am the captain of the team. If one of me dies, the military supervisors will bury ten of you Xizhou people with me!"
suddenly.
The man in the woods blew a hidden weapon, and a silver needle pierced directly into the back of Xiangying's neck.
Xiangying only felt a slight pain, then frowned and pulled out the silver needle.
The yellow-bearded man laughed arrogantly, with viciousness in his eyes.
"This is coated with Ecstasy, which can make a person's mind clear but unable to move his limbs."
"Princess, aren't you arrogant? Are you good at fighting? In a moment, I will let you watch us kill you!"
While he was speaking, several soldiers who had been hiding in the woods came over and surrounded Xiangying.
Xiangying stumbled and fell to the ground.
The imperial green with a wooden shell in the sleeve fell out.
Xiangying hurried to pick it up, but Yellow Beard was faster and grabbed the jade in his hand first.
Xiangying's breath was unstable: "That's mine...give it back to me!"
The yellow-bearded man narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean yours? I found it, so it's mine! I heard that the dog emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty gave you the imperial seal before he escaped. Could this jade be related to the seal?"
After saying that, the yellow-bearded man waved his hand and signaled the soldiers: "Strip her!"
He had long wanted to try the taste of this stunning beauty.
Just as the soldiers were about to take action, a fire suddenly appeared in the forest.
Yellow Beard looked back alertly: "Who!"
At just one glance, he was surprised to find that it was Jie Chen who came with a team of patrol soldiers.
Yellow Beard quickly hid the jade and said, "Meet the Military Supervisor Jie."
Jie Chen put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and lowered his eyes to glance at Xiangying who was lying on the ground.
Her long hair was loose, and the moonlight cast a faint coldness on her snow-white and beautiful face.
Those dark phoenix eyes stared at them unfriendly and wary.
Xie Chen retracted his gaze and stared at the yellow beard: "It's so late, what are you doing?"
Yellow Beard bowed and explained, "This Princess of Western Zhou dared to disrespect you. Not only did she speak nonsense, she also tried to win over the other exiled women to escape. For this reason, I intend to teach her a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiangying, who had just fallen to the ground, stood up suddenly.
She rolled down Yellowbeard's sleeves and pulled out the imperial green that he had just stolen.
"He lied to you. He stole this thing and doesn't want to give it to you!"
Yellow Beard was horrified.
This Xiangying, was not poisoned by the drug? Impossible! She was clearly stabbed by the silver needle.
Looking at Jie Chen who was walking towards him with a cold look in his eyes, the yellow-bearded man explained with trembling lips: "Military Supervisor, don't, don't listen to this woman's nonsense! I plan to check it before handing it over."
Jie Chen took the imperial green from Xiangying's hand, pushed with his slender fingertips, and the wooden shell covering it was unscrewed.
Under the moonlight, a green light flickered faintly.
Jie Chen's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.
"How dare you hide it?" He looked at the yellow-bearded man.
"No, no, that's not it, I dare not!"
Even though Yellow Beard kept shaking his head, Jie Chen still took action. He grabbed Yellow Beard's collar and dragged him to the place where everyone was stationed in front.
Yellow Beard's screams woke up the resting exiled prisoners. They huddled together in fear and looked at Yellow Beard who was being trampled underfoot.
Xie Chen held up the imperial green in his hand and said in a cold tone: "You all heard it clearly. The military regulations have stated that if you find something that looks like a jade seal, you cannot keep it privately. You should hand it over. Those who violate the rules will be severely punished according to military discipline."
After saying that, he directly cut off Yellow Beard's hands.
At that moment, blood spurted out and Tao Xue hurriedly covered the eyes of the three children.
Not only did the prisoners being escorted scream in fear, but even the soldiers who were called over for training were startled.
Xiangying just watched from the side, with a calm expression on his beautiful face.
It was as if this was the ending she had expected.
Yellow Beard's screams echoed through the mountains and fields. Blood was flowing from his hands. His face turned red and veins were exposed due to the pain. He rolled back and forth.
But even so, he still had to beg Jie Chen.
"Jiang Jun Jie, I was wrong, please spare my life!"
The other two military supervisors also came over and whispered something in Jie Chen's ear.
Xie Chen said coldly: "Drag him away and let the military doctor bandage him."
Yellow Beard was taken away by the soldiers.
Tao Xue looked at the jade in Jie Chen's hand with confusion.
"Isn't that the princess's?"
Xie Chen glanced at Xiang Ying coldly, then left with his men.
Xiangying returned to the children, and Taoxue asked hurriedly, "Princess, where have you been? How did your things end up in the hands of the military supervisor?"
Xiangying smoothed his black hair and said, "Yellow Beard wants to steal my things, so of course I will report it to the military supervisor."
A look of doubt appeared on Xiang Yuanxiao's little face.
"Will the military supervisor take care of such a trivial matter?"
"Of course," Xiangying touched his little face and smiled, "If it's something he cares about, he will take care of it."
Xiang Xiuxiu blinked her big eyes and asked thoughtfully, "Things he cares about? Mother, does he care about you? Otherwise, why would he care when Yellow Beard stole our things?"
Xiang Yuanxiao corrected him: "How stupid! She is nothing. The military supervisor cares about the imperial seal!"
"Oh..." Xiang Xiuxiu seemed to understand but not quite.
Just at this moment.
A soldier came over and said in a bad tone: "Prisoner Xiangying, the military supervisor is looking for you."
Tao Xue immediately showed a worried expression. Xiang Ying patted her shoulder and left with the soldiers.
The military supervisor and his men were resting in the cave, but Xie Chen met Xiangying outside the deserted cave.
As soon as she went there, Jie Chen threw something at her.
Xiangying reached out to take it, and upon closer look, it was the wooden shell jade that had just been picked up from her.
"This is not something on the imperial seal, it's not even jade," Xie Chen said in a cold tone, "Xiangying, how dare you use me?"
The wooden shell was half open, and the light was clear here. One could clearly see that what was wrapped in the wooden shell was an emerald, not the imperial green one.
It’s just that we were on the trail just now and the light was dim, making it difficult to tell.
