Chapter 3 Stocking up! Even the enemy countries are not spared
On the way, Xiangying found a temporarily safe corner and stopped.
She deftly stripped the jade pendants from her second son and youngest daughter and put them into the space.
Afterwards, she reached out to Xiang Yuanxiao, who immediately became alert: "What do you want to do!"
"Give it all to me, I'll keep it for you. If you lose it on the way, I won't be responsible."
After Xiang Ying finished speaking, Xiang Yuanxiao hesitated for a moment before taking out a bag of golden melon seeds from his shoes.
"Okay, kid, golden melon seeds are easy to hide and even easier to carry. You're so smart." Xiang Ying patted his little head, but Xiang Yuanxiao slapped it away with his little hand.
Tao Xue took out the property she had looted while escaping and handed it over.
Xiangying took a look and suddenly his face became expressionless.
Throw away the dragon socks worn by the emperor!
Tao Xue felt wronged: "It's hooked with gold thread, what a pity!"
Throw away the pearl buttons you picked off your clothes!
Tao Xue covered her mouth and said, "That fell from the favored Concubine Shu."
A thumb-sized emerald, thinking.
Tao Xue was delighted: "Your Highness the Princess really knows what's good. This was going to be inlaid on the Emperor's spittoon... Hey! Please don't throw it away!"
Xiangying threw it directly in a parabola.
She grabbed Taoxue's sleeve and sternly warned: "Taoxue, Princess, I don't have any hobbies. I just like to stock up on expensive and good things. In the future, don't take these worthless things!"
Tao Xue nodded silently.
Xiang Yuanxiao wanted to laugh, and just as his little face was pouting, he immediately pursed his lips when he saw Xiang Ying's eyes looking at him.
Xiangying led them to escape from the palace, and just as they entered the imperial garden, they ran into the enemy's search team, escorting a group of concubines and princesses.
Even from a distance, one could still hear their sad and low cries.
Xiangying and the others happened to be standing behind the bushes in the garden and were not seen.
Tao Xue's face turned pale: "What should I do? I can't go forward. There must be pursuers behind me!"
Xiangying looked up and saw the sycamore tree beside him. It was summer and the lush green leaves blocked out the sun.
Without hesitation, she lifted Xiang Yuanxiao up the tree, took out a rope, tied her second son around Tao Xue's back, and pushed her up as well.
Finally, he carried his little daughter on his back and climbed up the tree trunk with great agility, using the green shade to shelter his body.
The escorting enemy troops soon reached the big tree.
Each of them had the looted treasures from the harem hanging around their waists, and they smiled with contempt.
"I thought the Western Zhou Dynasty was so wealthy, but after entering the palace, I see that it is just so-so. Compared with our Nanyue, it is far behind!"
"It's all because the dog emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty ran away with the treasure first, otherwise we could have gotten more things. We can't touch these beauties. All we know is to cry."
The soldier complained, and turned back fiercely: "Stop crying! If you cry again, I will send you all to be military prostitutes!"
The concubines and princesses were frightened and dared not say a word.
They passed by underneath and didn't even notice Xiangying and the others.
But Xiangying heard their conversation and fell into deep thought.
She had long known that Nanyue was richer than the Western Zhou Dynasty.
I vaguely remember a good friend saying that in this book about the famine, South Vietnam relied on huge and abundant supplies to survive the disaster.
Although many people died, it was much better than other countries that were destroyed by natural disasters.
Xiangying was eager to stock up on goods.
Her space is in urgent need of stocking up and upgrading. Since South Vietnam is so rich, her next target will be it!
The journey was long and arduous, and she had not read the original book. She only heard the plot from her friends, so she was unclear about many details.
Rather than having to travel to South Vietnam by myself with my three children, it would be better to follow the exiled army directly into their lair.
Having made up his mind, Xiangying decisively pretended that he didn't hold on to the tree trunk, and slid down.
It happened to fall next to the soldiers escorting the team.
She seemed to have fallen from the sky, and the soldier who looked at her was stunned.
When he realized what was happening, he immediately pointed his spear at Xiangying and shouted, "Come on! There are still some fish that have escaped the net!"
Xiangying was arrested.
Tao Xue and her two children who were climbing on the tree were also caught in one fell swoop.
Xiang Yuanxiao stamped his feet in anger: "If I had known you were so stupid, I would have run away with my brothers and sisters by myself!"
Xiangying was put back on the chain with a calm expression.
The concubines in the palace looked at her in astonishment, with a hint of sadness in their eyes. Then they huddled together and stayed away from her. Even the princesses looked at her in silence.
One of the girls, about 15 or 16, sneered, "I thought the elder sister had the ability to escape on her own, but it turns out she is so useless."
Xiangying glanced at her indifferently with her phoenix eyes.
This is the fifth princess Xiang Qianqian, her nominal sister.
She didn't need to explain to this group of people.
"What are you arguing about! Let's go together!" The soldiers shouted and whipped them, urging them to go to the gate of the imperial city.
When we got there, we found that many ministers, their wives, princes and nobles in the court had been driven here.
The women had shackles on their hands and feet, the children only had ankle chains, and the military officers not only had their hands and feet locked, but also had shackles around their necks.
They were wearing thin clothes, their hair was disheveled, and they hugged each other and cried.
No matter how noble their status was before, after today, they will all be slaves of a conquered country.
Soon, the military supervisors and their entourage came over and escorted them away. Xiangying saw that the yellow-bearded enemy soldier who had just troubled her was also among them.
"Princess, it's the person who escaped!" Tao Xue also saw it and was very panicked.
Yellow Beard obviously saw her, with vicious hatred in his eyes. He pointed at Xiangying and whispered to the military supervisor beside him.
The military supervisor looked at Xiangying coldly and nodded to the yellow-bearded man.
The yellow-bearded man made a gesture of wiping his neck to Xiangying from a distance, with a sinister and complacent smile.
Xiangying looked away expressionlessly.
On the way out of the city, the enemy forced the people to line the streets and watch.
In early June, the air was filled with the hot smell of blood.
The common people, wearing tattered clothes, looked with empty eyes as these nobles, who symbolized power and wealth, were escorted out of the capital.
When the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, no one is happy.
Except for Xiangying.
She seemed to be in a daze, but in fact she was sorting out the supplies she had just looted in the space.
As if all these things were not enough, she was already looking forward to how many good things she could stock up on when she went to South Vietnam.
At the Changting Pavilion in the capital, the military supervisors in charge of escorting the soldiers not only counted the number of people but also let the horses drink water and prepare food and fodder.
By the way, before setting off, I searched him one last time.
Everyone had to take off their clothes. Some people had no choice but to bribe the soldiers who were searching them with money hidden away, so they could avoid the humiliation of being stripped of their clothes.
Xiangying watched secretly from the side.
We discovered that their exile group was large in number, so they were divided into different groups for control.
There were three military supervisors in total, and each of them had four captains under them. The captains in turn led ten to thirty guarding soldiers, each of whom was in charge of about ten exiled prisoners.
Thinking of Yellow Beard's expression just now, Xiangying had a hunch that Yellow Beard must be the captain who was supervising her.
He will definitely have a fight with her, and I'm afraid he will come over to make things difficult for her later.
Xiangying calmed down and prepared himself to deal with the situation.
The second son, Xiang Yuanlang, had just woken up. Xiangying secretly took a kettle from the space and wanted to give him water.
But Xiang Yuanlang slapped it away with his little hand.
His black and white pupils were full of defensiveness and disgust.
Xiangying was not angry: "You will be thirsty later, but I have no water to give you."
She saved the three children out of humanitarianism, but that doesn't mean she has to bear the children's hatred towards their original owners.
Xiang Yuanlang still had a tense little face and stared at her.
Instead, Xiang Yuanxiao picked up the water bag from the ground and fed it to Xiang Yuanlang. Only then did he open his mouth and drink in big gulps.
Xiangying had just put away the empty water bag when the man with yellow beard and his men came up to her.
"Bitch, your good days are over. Let's see how you can escape this time. The military supervisor has ordered that everyone must be searched. Do you want to take off your clothes yourself, or wait for us to strip you clean!"
