Chapter 253 Mysterious Man
Xie Chen was stunned: "From now on...don't you just like freedom?"
Xiangying blinked her slender eyelashes: "Yes, but I found that following you, I can get whatever I want."
"And I found that we have the same goal. You want to overthrow the emperor, and I want to live a comfortable life."
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is there any necessary connection between the two?"
"Yes," Xiangying said seriously, "You overthrew your father, the emperor, but the country of Nanyue cannot be without a master. Under normal circumstances, you will most likely be elected by your followers and ascend the throne as emperor."
She held Jie Chen's cheek and said, "You will definitely be a good emperor, and a good emperor can make everyone live a comfortable life. Then I will be even more comfortable."
Xiangying didn't dare to imagine how happy life would be.
She roamed around everywhere to plunder the bad guys' stuff. Even if she was caught, she could still scare others openly because her backer was the emperor!
Just as she was fantasizing about the good days, Jie Chen suddenly kissed her lips gently.
Xiangying came back to his senses: "A sneak attack?"
Jie Chen just thought she was cute and smiled happily.
"I'm afraid you'll regret it. What you said today must count."
"Of course, I have no regrets."
Xie Chen held Xiangying in his arms, originally wanting to let her sleep for a while, while he kept an eye on the mining device.
But Xiangying was not sleepy and his hands were still not quiet.
Jie Chen pressed down her rebellious fingertips several times.
It’s not that he didn’t want to, but it was too cold outside in the wilderness.
How could he not feel sorry for Xiangying.
Xie Chen simply asked about her past to divert Xiangying's attention.
"If you are not the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, then where did you come from? Heaven?"
When Xiangying heard the word "Heaven", he burst out laughing.
She asked Jie Chen to look at her: "Do you think I look like a fairy?"
Unexpectedly, Jie Chen thought about it seriously and then nodded.
Xiangying was laughing so hard that she was shaking.
She hugged Jie Chen gently and said, "I come from a place far, far away in time."
Jie Chen was silent for a moment, wondering what such a place would look like.
After a while, he said, "It must be very beautiful there."
"No," Xiangying said in a light voice, thinking of something unpleasant, "It used to be very beautiful there, with oceans and mountains, sunshine and flower dew. Later, due to widespread pollution and destruction, coupled with natural disasters, the sunshine completely disappeared."
"What followed was the destruction of homes, food shortages, and even less clean water. Many people went hunting for food, but they contracted a disease from the animals, turning them into zombies, eating their loved ones, and becoming a new kind of animal."
"When I was three years old, a natural disaster struck and I lost my parents. I was adopted by an orphanage. Later, a large-scale outbreak of corpse poison occurred around the world, and I was sent to the United Nations training base. You asked me about my skills before. I learned them all from there. I have a very powerful master. He is eight years younger than me, but he taught me many things."
Xie Chen paused, then said in a deep voice, "You said your master is dead?"
"Yes," Xiangying lowered his head, "During a mission, he was surrounded by monsters infected with corpse poison in order to cover me, and he finally detonated the bomb on his body."
Xie Chenguang had only heard Xiangying say that he couldn't imagine what a bizarre world this was.
In a place filled with man-eating monsters and unpredictable human hearts, where people are willing to kill their close friends and relatives for a few pounds of meat, is there still humanity?
No wonder he felt that Xiangying had a spirit of striving to live ever since he met her.
She is happy to see the sunshine, and she is more excited than others when she sees wild boars running.
It turned out that the world she came from no longer had so much vitality.
Xie Chen finally hugged Xiangying gently and patted her back.
"From now on, I want to be your only family here."
Xiangying raised his eyes: "You want to be my brother?"
Xie Chenjun's face turned dark, and before Xiangying could laugh at him for always being deceived, Xie Chen pulled him into his arms and kissed him hard on the lips.
In the end, they didn't return until dawn.
Xiangying didn't have the strength to ride the horse by herself, so she leaned on Jie Chen's arms, and he rode her back to the camp.
Fortunately, the weather was cold and no one was awake. Only three or two patrolling soldiers glanced at Jie Chen and Xiang Ying from a distance, then looked away as if it was normal.
Everyone in the entire team knows now that their deputy general Jie Chen is madly in love with the eldest princess of Western Zhou.
It seems very normal for two people to have a tryst in the middle of the night.
Xiangying returned to the house and began to take the mined jade to the laboratory in the space for observation.
Testing of the texture showed that the jade was of high quality. The piece she took happened to be imperial green, pure and clear blue.
The space really liked it. When Xiangying put the jade in, the jade condition count for the seventeenth floor was instantly increased by three.
Xiangying was a little confused.
She brought in two pieces of jade raw stones, and only one of them produced imperial green.
But the space is actually counted as three?
After careful thought, Xiangying suddenly understood.
A good piece of jade is worth three times the price of one. As for the other piece, it is probably too rough, so it is counted as one, or half of one.
Xiangying suddenly became full of energy.
If she saves hard, her 17th floor will be connected soon.
Jie Chen did not disappoint her either.
He didn't know who he found, but the mining speed was very fast. Every night Xiangying would go to Jie Chen's room and take away bags of jade.
The statistical number of jades in the space is increasing rapidly!
Xiangying also exchanged a cutting and grinding machine from the barter system.
She suddenly had a bold idea and decided to give it a try.
The exile team walked for seven or eight days and finally arrived near the capital.
The post station where they lived was also the last post station of this exile.
We will be able to enter the capital city around the day after tomorrow.
During the day, Xiangying had already seen several escort guards rushing into Jie Chen's tent from the capital.
The Sixth Prince rarely acts like a troublemaker anymore. Probably because he has already reached the foot of the Emperor, so he is particularly honest.
Until this night.
Xiangying was just about to go to bed when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
She lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see many escort flag guards and the general that Xiangying had met before.
He entered Li Chen's tent, and soon, Li Chen followed him out with a serious expression on his face.
A group of people just rode on their horses and left in the night.
Xiangying was stunned.
Where are they going?
Just then, a stone fell at Xiangying's feet.
She picked it up and saw a thin bamboo tube tied under the stone.
After pulling it out, there was a piece of paper inside.
[At midnight, I saw you in the bamboo forest]
Xiangying gazed slightly.
Who asked her out?
