Chapter 94 I'm Sorry for Being Born a Man
However, Fang Gan’s idea was too beautiful.
After a while, a captain named Suan Xiucai came with his men to bring him water and food.
A bowl of wonton noodles, a piece of braised beef, and a whole pot of water.
Fang Gan wolfed down the food and asked as he ate, "Did the princess ask you to bring this to me?"
The sour scholar smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Yes, you are really smart. The princess specifically instructed to send you on your way."
A piece of beef got stuck in his throat, and Fang Gan started coughing violently, his face turning red and hot!
"Don't be impatient, eat slowly." The sour scholar patted his back.
Fang Gan recovered his breath and immediately looked at them warily: "On the road? She wants you to kill me?"
The sour scholar was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear. The princess meant to send you away."
After he said that, he took a bundle from the soldier behind him.
When he opened it, he found a water bag, a whole bag of dry food, some change, and a letter inside.
Fang Gan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he immediately began to struggle.
"I'm not leaving! I want to see the princess!"
The sour scholar seemed to have anticipated his resistance and hit him on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.
Afterwards, Fang Gan was tied up and thrown into a small boat.
When Fang Gan woke up again, he had been thrown into the woods, and the back of his neck was sore!
"This sour scholar looks weak and powerless, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel." He cursed in a hoarse voice.
Otherwise, he would not have let his guard down, otherwise, with his skills, it would have been impossible for him to be knocked unconscious.
Fang Gan had a cold face as he opened the bundle to see if there was anything useful inside.
Ignoring the travel expenses and dry food, he opened the letter left by Xiangying.
Xiangying's handwriting is vigorous and elegant, with an indescribable sense of freedom and unrestrainedness.
There is only one short sentence in the letter:
[South Vietnam is full of dangers, which is not conducive to your search for your relatives. So leave now and don't come back, or I will abandon you. I wish you a successful search for your relatives soon.]
Fang Gan was stunned for a moment.
There were rustling sounds of footsteps all around; it was his secret guards who had found the area nearby.
"Young Master! I am a damned subordinate. The ship dared not follow too close, fearing that Jie Chen and his men would discover us."
"Young Master! I will take you to the next ferry right now. You will still have time to catch up with their ship."
The secret guards were about to help Fang Gan up, but he suddenly raised his hand to stop them.
Fang Ganjiang read the letter in his hand two or three times, and his dark brows slightly furrowed.
"Xiangying... She said that South Vietnam was dangerous and would not let me go with her. She also left me some money and asked me to find my relatives."
The secret guards looked at each other and said, "She doesn't know that the young master's sister died in that palace disaster a long time ago."
Fang Gan lowered his eyes, and tightened his fingers around the letter: "Yes, she didn't know, but she knew what she would encounter in South Vietnam. She sent me away, but she stayed behind."
If Xiangying had been in his previous temper, he would have definitely ordered him to help her escape at all costs.
Fang Gan had been waiting for her to speak so that he could take the opportunity to propose conditions for her to give up the jade seal.
But she never said it. Instead, she seemed to be looking forward to going to South Vietnam.
Fang Gan murmured: "Since she knew that the trip to Nanyue was dangerous, why did she go along with it? What is she planning?"
The secret guards noticed that when their young master mentioned Xiangying, his tone was not as tough and cold as before.
They asked tentatively: "Then... Young Master, do you want to return to the big ship?"
Fang Gan thought for a moment and put the letter in his arms.
"No, she's wary of me now, and it's useless to follow her all the time."
He looked at the rippling river beyond the woods in the distance, his dog eyes revealing a snort full of ambition and passion.
"Xiangying, see you in South Vietnam."
After saying that, Fang Gan led his men into the depths of the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Xiangying sat at the bow of the boat and fished with the fishing rod he had looted from General Ke.
She was basking in the sun, with roasted melon seeds on her left hand and sweet, refreshing tea and pastries on her right hand.
General Ke asked Jie Chen to take charge of the matter and complained like a punching bag.
"Look at her, look at her. This is my only fishing rod. I fish to improve our meals occasionally, and she just took it away without any explanation."
Xie Chen glanced at Xiangying's relaxed and leisurely back.
He pursed his lips and persuaded General Ke: "Just give her some space. She is a woman."
Supervisor Ke opened his eyes wide: "Jie Chen, you are going too far. Do you think there is justice in your eyes except for Xiangying?"
Xie Chen frowned: "I treat everyone equally. Besides, you are a grown man. If you always argue with her, will it sound good if it gets out?"
"I...I? I was born a man. I'm sorry. Is that enough?" General Ke walked away with an angry step.
Xiangying heard the noise, turned around and looked over, narrowing her eyes, as if she was a little curious.
Xie Chen walked towards her and heard her ask, "Why is General Ke angry? He walks like a duck."
Xie Chen wanted to talk about her snatching the fishing rod, but he changed the subject and said coldly: "He blames me for letting you let Fang Gan go."
Xiangying blinked her delicate eyelashes twice, then retracted her gaze and looked at the floating object on the water in the distance.
"That's all? I let him go because of your inspiration."
"Oh?" Jie Chen sat down beside her. The two of them felt the wind from the bow together and felt the rare tranquility.
Xiang Ying smiled with her red lips: "This world is not easy. Everyone has difficulties that they cannot express. Fang Gan approached me for his own purpose. I understand him, just as you understand me."
"So I let him go, because I didn't want to kill him, but I didn't want to keep him around as an eyesore."
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is it really like this? You are not reluctant to part with him?"
Xiangying thought what he said was particularly strange and looked at him: "Why would I be reluctant to give it up?"
Fang Gan was just one of the original owner's many male favorites, and of course, he could also be a capable assistant.
But to Xiangying, he is simply a person with unclear purpose.
Xie Chen did not continue talking about this topic, but stood up and said calmly: "Although the plague situation has been brought under control, don't relax for the time being. When you have time, make another batch of your disinfectant and send it to them."
Just as he was about to leave, Xiangying asked from behind: "What about my benefits? It's too tiring to do all this."
Xie Chen knew she would make a request.
"What do you want?"
"I think..." Her sparkling phoenix eyes fell on him.
Xie Chen felt his heart tighten inexplicably, and his throat rolled up and down, as he waited for her next words.
Xiangying smiled and said, "After we get to Luzhou, I want you to take me to the city to buy some things."
For some reason, she felt that Jie Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"I understand. I promise you." He said, and left indifferently.
Xiangying was also puzzled.
With this attitude, does he think what she said is right or wrong?
