Chapter 24: Caught pheasants yesterday, caught rabbits today
Xiangying asked Taoxue to call Yupin and the others over so that they could share the pheasant together.
She found an excuse, went to the nearby woods, turned her back to everyone, and took out a knife from the space.
After plucking and gutting the pheasant, she went to the woods to carry firewood.
Unexpectedly, when Xiangying came back, their pheasants had been confiscated.
Xiang Yuanxiao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Give it back to me, we caught it!"
Scarface waved him aside with his big hand: "According to military regulations, as long as it is suspicious, we have reason to confiscate it."
Xiangying's cold voice came: "Is the pheasant a suspicious thing? Can it come back to life and take us away or what?"
Scarface looked at her dark eyes and laughed, "You don't need to argue with me. Anyway, I said no, and it's no!"
"I don't care how noble your status was in the past. Now that you are a prisoner, you must obey my orders!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers grabbed the pheasants and followed him.
Xiangying immediately wanted to go over and argue with him, but was persuaded by the Seventh Princess.
"Forget it, Princess. I heard that this scarred man is the most harsh and ruthless person in the entire exile team. Let's not bother with him."
But Xiangying has never been the type to swallow his anger.
Eat the pheasants she caught, right? Let them eat! They can't be killed!
Scarface was not greedy and asked the soldiers to divide the pheasant caught by Xiangying.
While they were collecting firewood, Xiangying sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on the pheasant meat.
Then he walked away with his hands behind his back as if nothing had happened.
When the soldiers came back, they found nothing unusual, so they set up a wooden rack, started a fire and started grilling meat.
The fragrant smell of chicken soon wafted over, and the soldiers all drooled and ate with relish.
Late night.
"Hiss, my stomach hurts!"
"Me too. Ouch, I can't hold it anymore."
The sound of a fart was like a thunder, ringing in the silent night.
Scarface shouted impatiently, "If you want to go to the bathroom, do it quickly! You are a bunch of useless people who eat and poop at the same time!"
Xiangying squinted his eyes and watched the soldiers running to the nearby woods one after another to suffer from diarrhea.
She hugged Xiang Xiuxiu in her arms contentedly.
The chicken is coated with croton powder, which makes you more addicted to it the more you eat it.
Can't pull them to death!
Wake up the next morning.
The prisoners were in high spirits, but the soldiers guarding them had sallow complexions and their weak cheeks were slightly sunken.
Anyone who ate that pheasant had diarrhea six or seven times last night.
Fortunately, the accompanying military doctor had medicine, otherwise I would not be able to set off today.
The food that the military inspector and his men brought was almost finished. Fortunately, they were about to reach the nearest Yucheng. The military inspector ordered the entire exile team to march towards Yucheng.
In the evening, they stopped to rest outside Xiaji County, a hundred miles away from Yucheng.
Xiangying still took Xiang Yuanlang to the woods to practice his animal taming skills.
This time we finally caught two hares.
Xiangying carried the wild rabbit back, and this time she didn't leave. She just sat there and skinned it, to see if Scarface would bring people to rob it again.
If you really dare to come, she will not be polite.
However, Scarface did not come himself, but arranged for Xiang Qianqian and Yang Guiren to come and ask Xiang Ying directly for it.
"Big sister, the captain is discussing matters with the military supervisor, and he specially arranged for me to come and tell you that you have to hand over this wild rabbit to us and cannot keep it for yourself."
Concubine Yang chimed in, "Yes, Princess, please take it out. If everyone is like you and goes to the forest to find food, how can we enforce discipline?"
Xiangying raised his dark phoenix eyes, and his fierce aura shocked Concubine Yang so much that she took a step back.
"I caught the rabbit myself. If you two want to be his slaves, that's your business, but leave me alone."
Xiang Qianqian frowned; she knew it wouldn't go smoothly.
Relying on the fact that she was now helping Scarface and the others cook, Yang Guiren showed some courage.
"Princess, how can you say that? We are all slaves now. Slaves of a conquered nation! I advise you not to do this. It's for your own good. Do you want to be whipped?"
"He dares. Anyway, tell Scarface that if he wants the rabbit, he should come and get it by himself. Don't think I will compromise if you send some random person."
When Xiang Ying made her attitude clear, Xiang Qianqian knew that she couldn't accomplish this task.
But it's rare for the captain to entrust her with such a task. If she doesn't perform well, how can she establish her irreplaceable value?
at the same time.
In the room where the military supervisors were resting, a dozen captains were receiving training with their heads down.
There are three military supervisors, headed by Jie Chen.
When talking about Xiangying's problem, Xie Chen said coldly: "As the eldest princess of Xizhou, she should be captured alive and sent back to Nanyue for the emperor to deal with. Therefore, she is not allowed to die on the road."
Scarface suddenly raised his head and said, "Military Supervisor! All the prisoners we are escorting are from the royal family and nobles. Is she the only one who is special? If she makes a mistake, will we just sit back and do nothing? What if she escapes with the other prisoners?"
"She won't. You keep a close eye on the three children and Xiangli." Jie Chen said firmly.
After observing for these days, he has figured out Xiangying's thoughts.
She was willing to go to South Vietnam probably because she couldn't bear to be separated from her three children and her brother.
Scarface felt that Jie Chen was biased, and he cupped his hands in dissatisfaction: "I understand, as long as she doesn't go too far, I can't afford to offend her, but I can afford to avoid her!"
Xie Chen waved his hand: "Let's go."
At this time, Concubine Yang had already started arguing with Xiangying across the fire.
Suddenly, Xiang Qianqian reached out and pushed her into the fire.
Xiangying immediately protected the children and retreated.
"Ah! It's so hot! Help!" Yang Guiren's whole body was on fire and she rolled back and forth on the ground screaming.
"What's going on!" Scarface happened to come back with his men.
Xiang Qianqian was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stepped back several steps and said in a terrified tone: "Captain, Yang Guiren failed to reason with the elder sister and fell into the fire..."
Scarface immediately ordered the soldiers to kick Concubine Yang to put out the fire on her body.
When the other prisoners heard Yang Guiren's screams, they couldn't bear it and turned their heads away.
Xiangying protected the three little ones, his eyes were dark and cold, and he did not say a word to stop them.
When the fire was out, Concubine Yang was dying, with only a few intact patches of skin left on her body.
Concubine Yang pointed at Xiang Qianqian: "You, you..."
She was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.
Xiang Qianqian hid behind Scarface and talked about what had just happened.
She said innocently, "My elder sister refused to hand over the rabbit, and Concubine Yang was impatient, so she argued for a few words, but she never thought that she would fall into the fire."
Tao Xue couldn't help but defend herself: "But I clearly saw that you pushed her!"
Xiang Qianqian refused to admit it: "Why would I do this? What good would it do me to harm Concubine Yang?"
Xiang Ying sneered, and when Xiang Qianqian saw her look, she was inexplicably frightened and lowered her head.
Scarface stepped forward and angrily said to Xiangying: "You ignored my words? You caught pheasants yesterday and rabbits today, and you even made a fire and cooked here. Do you think you are here for fun?"
"Now that you've killed someone, you can't escape the punishment!" Military Supervisor Guan Jie said no matter what. He must teach this woman a lesson today!
In his hand he held a short stick for beating criminals and smashed it directly at Xiangying.
Xiangying raised her hand to grab it, and Scarface never expected her to be so bold.
Xiangying grabbed the short stick with both hands and hit it with his knee!
With a snap, the stick broke.
She threw it aside like garbage.
Scarface's eyes widened: "How dare you resist!?"
He took out the whip from his waist and whipped Xiangying on the head.
Xiangying grabbed the whip, turned his wrist, and wrapped the whip around his palm twice.
She pulled hard, and Scarface, such a tall body, staggered.
While he was bending over, Xiangying raised his fist and hit him in the throat.
In an instant, Scarface's body went limp and he fell backwards uncontrollably.
"Captain!" The soldiers surrounded him and hurriedly supported the scarred man.
The night wind blew, and the prisoner Xiangying's clothes were slightly lifted. His black hair fell loosely on his shoulders, but his phoenix eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"You can't beat me in a fight. You're being unreasonable in a speech. It's really embarrassing for a tall and strong man!" She sneered with her red lips, looking extremely cold and beautiful.
Xiangying swung the whip he had just snatched hard and hit the scarred man in the mud.
With a snap, a deep dent appeared in the mud.
Xiang Qianqian was dumbfounded and quietly stepped back, fearing that Xiang Ying would go crazy and hurt her.
Scarface gritted his teeth in anger, veins on his forehead were exposed and his face turned red.
He pushed the soldier away and stood up.
"Xiangying, the military supervisor said he doesn't want your life, you're lucky! But don't blame me for being so arrogant today..."
Before Scarface could finish his words, the soldiers around him suddenly drew out their swords and pointed them at Xiangying.
