Chapter 69 He is our dog
Half an hour later.
The soldiers on the second ship lowered the canoe, and Xiangying and Jiechen boarded it to return to the first ship.
As soon as they saw Xiangying, several soldiers volunteered -
"I am good at sailing and can escort Jie Jianjun and Xiangying to the boat ahead."
"I'm better at rowing, let me send it."
It used to be called prisoner Xiangying, but now they automatically omit the word prisoner.
In the sunlight, the boat swayed up and down. Xiangying was wearing elegant white clothes, with black hair draped over her shoulders and a faint smile on her red lips.
She looked at Jie Chen with some pride.
It seems to be saying: Look, here comes the human heart.
Xie Chenbo's eyes were dark, and there was a sense of helplessness in them.
He selected two people to row the boat, and the two soldiers shouted excitedly on the deck as if they had won the lottery.
While rowing, the two men talked to Xiangying from time to time.
"Xiangying, please sit still."
"You are so good at swimming, who did you learn it from?"
Xiangying was basking in the warm sun, not paying much attention and just smiling perfunctorily.
Instead, Xie Chen frowned and looked at the two people rowing the boat: "You two are so strong, why don't you go down and swim two laps and come up?"
The two soldiers immediately shut their mouths.
"Jie Chen, have you noticed anything strange?" Xiangying suddenly spoke.
Jie Chen looked at her and saw Xiangying slightly turning sideways and stretching his hand across the river water.
"There were six ships, traveling in a front-to-back formation on the river. The second ship was following the same route as us. Why was their bottom scratched by a reef?"
The two soldiers rowing the boat nodded and said, "That's right! The first boat is fine."
Jie Chen looked at them coldly, and the two of them lowered their heads again.
"Do you think someone tampered with it?"
Xiangying shook off the water droplets on his fingertips, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
"I'm just suspicious, but it's not something I should worry about. I'm just reminding you."
Xie Chen didn't say anything.
He wouldn't tell Xiangying that they thought of going together.
After he settled her down last night, he returned to the cabin for a thorough inspection.
People have been arranged to thoroughly investigate those who entered the cabin that night, but there are no results yet.
Xiangying and the others returned to the first ship.
Everyone gathered around immediately.
Scarface rushed to the front: "Are you...are you okay?"
He actually wanted to ask Xiangying, but when he saw Jie Chen behind her, he immediately reacted.
The two military supervisors, Wei and Ke, rushed over with serious expressions. They were obviously relieved to see that they were all fine.
The military supervisor scolded Xiangying: "You are really taking a risk. How dare you bring ..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Chen interrupted him calmly: "It's fine as long as the problem is solved."
General Wei was stunned. He didn't expect Jie Chen to be even more protective of Xiangying.
"Mom! Mom!" Tao Xue and the three little ones came from afar.
Following behind them were Xiangli, Lin Lingxiang and a group of people, including Fang Gan.
Xiang Yuanxiao was running in the front and was about to jump into Xiang Ying's arms, but suddenly he remembered that he was a big kid now.
He is already four years old and cannot be held by his mother casually.
So he stopped in his tracks, and Xiang Xiuxiu rushed directly to Xiang Ying and hugged her with her little hands.
Xiangying groaned as he hugged the child.
Ahhh her waist!
Xie Chen directly pulled Xiang Xiuxiu away: "She is fine, but she is a little tired and can't hold you."
Xiang Xiuxiu pouted, feeling a little aggrieved, but more sensible.
The little guy burst into tears: "Mom, we almost thought you would never come back."
Xiangying bent down and wiped away the child's tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Mommy was just swimming in the water. Did you get scared?"
"We were very scared at first, but Uncle Fang let us ride on him like a cow and cheered us up, and then we felt better."
As soon as Xiang Xiuxiu finished speaking, Xiang Yuanlang corrected him in a cold voice: "It means being a donkey."
Xiang Yuanxiao retorted: "You are all wrong. He is serving as our dog."
Fang Gan squeezed out and protested, "I am a horse! I am a horse! Everyone of you has played the game of riding a big horse, and you forgot it?"
The three little ones smiled with different expressions to hide their embarrassment.
Xiangying raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Fang Gan.
This guy actually secretly contacted the child while she was away.
You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?
Fang Gan noticed Xiangying's gaze and immediately looked at her with his puppy eyes as if he was looking at the stars.
"The eldest princess was very brave and saved everyone on the second ship. What I did was nothing. I just wanted to help the eldest princess share the burden. Thank you for your hard work!"
He was about to come over and hold Xiangying's hand, but was stopped by Jie Chen halfway.
Xie Chen said in a cold voice, "Take these fishermen away, study the route carefully, and don't let anything go wrong again."
Scarface accepted the order and took his soldiers to take Fang Gan away.
Xiangying turned her head and saw Xiangli's pupils were red and he was looking at her with complicated emotions.
"Brother..."
Xiangli limped forward and gently put his arms around her neck.
He said: "It's good that you are okay. It's good that you are back."
Jie Chen rubbed his fingertips lightly and wanted to stop him, but he was his biological brother.
At this moment, the gloomy voice of General Ke came.
"The prisoner faces Ying."
Xiangying turned around and saw General Ke staring at her with a bad look.
Several children rushed to support her, and Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi even opened their arms.
"What do you want to do? Are you going to repay kindness with enmity?"
General Ke glanced at her and said, "Favor? That's not even a favor!"
Xie Chen frowned: "She did help."
General Ke walked up to Xiangying, and suddenly, he bowed, bent down and lowered his head.
Everyone present was stunned.
Xiang Qianqian and others who were waiting to see the joke in the distance were also stunned.
What the hell? Doesn't Ke Jianjun dislike Xiangying the most?
"Nanyue and Xizhou are enemies. Thank you for putting aside the grudges between the two countries and helping them."
Xiangying raised her eyebrows and nodded slightly: "It's just a piece of cake. Saving you is also saving our own people in Xizhou."
General Wei acted as a peacemaker with a smile on his face.
"Xiangying, you have done a great job this time to be recognized by General Ke."
He waved his hand and announced that everyone would have more meat today.
The soldiers and even the prisoners cheered with joy.
Xiangying hugged the children and left.
General Ke walked up to Jie Chen and coughed twice in an awkward manner.
"My past prejudices are now wiped out. From now on, I will no longer interfere in your affairs with her."
As he said this, he cupped his hands and said, "Just think of it as my fault before. If you're still angry, I understand."
However, Jie Chen reached out and patted his shoulder gently.
"There's nothing to be angry about. Just as you said, let's write it off."
After Jie Chen finished speaking, he called them together to discuss the next route.
However, General Ke still felt a little guilty.
Because he was angry before, he reported what Jie Chen had done to the deputy general by carrier pigeon.
However, if he helps Jie Chen explain everything clearly by then, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Meat was added to the whole ship. After a month away from Beijing, the prisoners finally had meat soup!
Everyone held their bowl and exclaimed that it was so delicious.
Scarface saw that everyone in the cabin came to get the porridge, but he didn't see Concubine Liu.
He could not help but go to the bottom of the cabin to check.
Unexpectedly, he saw...
I wonder if I will be killed if I get stuck in this way today... I'll give it a try...
