Chapter 108 -108: Capture her and execute her tonight!

Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes beneath her lashes slowly rose with a faint smile.

“You just accept it, and with that, I’ll consider you’ve agreed to help me handle this matter with the Zhao Family.”

“No wonder you gave me a gift,” Jie Chen sneered coldly, “turns out you’ve been planning to hide behind me all along.”

Xiang Ying spoke with an innocent tone: “Given my limited status, I can only rely on you. Of course, if you agree to let me kill, this matter would be much easier to handle.”

Jie Chen’s sword-like eyebrows knotted in coldness: “No way.”

Her status was too sensitive, the elder princess of Xizhou killing even a single person from Nanyue could easily provoke dissatisfaction in the entire army.

Jie Chen emphasized again: “The Great General should arrive here within a day, just behave yourself and don’t show your face these days.”

Xiang Ying uttered an “Oh,” and was about to leave but was called back by Jie Chen.

“Take this with you before you go.”

He pointed to the soft quilt bought by Skinny Monkey.

Xiang Ying paused, so the quilt Skinny Monkey bought was for her?

“You…”

“Don’t overthink it, I bought it for you and the children because of your merits in handling the plague, take it.” Jie Chen said without lifting his head, his voice cold.

That time when he lifted the tent flap, he saw Xiang Ying holding the children, lying on the ground, separated only by a thin sheet.

He guessed it must have been uncomfortable to sleep.

Jie Chen asked himself, he had no spare feelings to worry about them, however, Xiang Ying had bravely stepped forward when the plague broke out.

Such a person deserves commendation.

Xiang Ying didn’t refuse but instead picked up the quilt and asked naively, “Since you’ve given bedding, could you also arrange a wooden bed?”

Jie Chen’s gaze suddenly lifted, his dark eyes filled with suppressed anger.

How dare this woman take such liberties!

He looked at Xiang Ying’s face, brilliant and beautiful, smiling radiantly.

Jie Chen held back and spoke sarcastically, “Might as well give you my tent for resting.”

Unexpectedly, Xiang Ying nodded: “That’s fine.”

“Xiang, Ying!” Jie Chen gritted his teeth, enunciating each word, “Get out!”

Xiang Ying clicked her tongue: “It’s just a joke.”

She really can’t take a tease!

Holding the quilt, she cheerfully left.

Just as she reached the entrance, she bumped into the Acid Scholar who was about to come in.

Xiang Ying was in a good mood and took the initiative to greet him: “Scholar, you look really well today.”

As she strode away, the Acid Scholar touched his face, puzzled.

What did she mean by him looking well today—as if he looked unwell before?

The Acid Scholar remembered his important task and, upon entering the tent, presented an invitation with both hands.

“Military Supervisor, this has just been delivered by the Zhao Family.”

Jie Chen glanced at it: “I know, put it there.”

The Acid Scholar thought for a moment and lowered his voice: “Governor Zhao personally issued an invitation for you to join a banquet at his residence, surely because of the incident on the street just now where Xiang Ying took action.”

“I just inquired about it; the victim is the son of the second master of the Zhao Family, and also the sole male descendant of their younger generation.”

“Now, Governor Zhao is extending an invitation for a banquet amicably, on account of the general’s face, surely to have you hand over Xiang Ying to atone for her actions.”

Jie Chen didn’t lift his head, organizing the secret letter in his hands.

“I know, not going,” his thin lips uttered coldly.

The Acid Scholar worried somewhat: “The Zhao Family currently fears the general, but if they deliberately escalate this incident, I’m afraid if you do go, they’ll execute Xiang Ying to settle the matter.”

Jie Chen finished dealing with the letter, the tips of his slender fingers now slightly stained with ink.

He stood up and went to the copper basin to wash his hands, his brows and eyes naturally handsome and indifferent, and his tone even more unhurried.

“Don’t worry about him, Xiang Ying is in my team, her life and death is not for others to decide.”

“Proceed as per the old plan, the Zhao Family will be too busy to target her when the time comes.”

Acid Scholar paused and nodded: “Understood.”

He lifted the curtain and went out, hearing joyful laughter not far away.

Looking over, it turned out to be Xiang Ying hugging the soft quilt Jie Chen had given her, airing it out with the children.

They said it would be ready to use for sleeping at night.

Which of the other Exiled Criminals didn’t write envy in their eyes?

Acid Scholar really was a bit worried.

Jie Jianjun always treated this Princess of Xizhou in an extraordinary way, could it be that he truly harbored feelings for her and not just for the Jade Seal she possessed?

He couldn’t help but hope in his heart.

The Great General would surely not allow Jie Jianjun to act recklessly.

He hoped that after the Great General arrived, he would find out what Xiang Ying had done and immediately send her away to avoid any trouble she might cause.

The situation unfolded just as Acid Scholar had hoped.

One day later, the Great General led numerous generals, soldiers, and Exiled Criminals to rendezvous at Lu State.

Since Governor Zhao was preparing to offer grain, the Great General summoned him first.

Governor Zhao then reported Xiang Ying’s crimes, and by evening, she had been seized by a group of soldiers and locked up in the official prison within Luzhou City.

She didn’t even see Jie Chen before she was bound in shackles again.

Xiang Ying sat in the cell, looking at the heavy iron chains on her wrists and ankles.

She said coldly to the guards outside, “Do you really need to be so on edge?”

The soldier glanced at her: “The General said you know martial arts, told us to be very careful; if you don’t want to suffer before you die, just stay quiet.”

“Die?” Xiang Ying raised her eyebrows.

The soldier nodded: “That’s right, the General has already promised Governor Zhao to execute you, they are now merrily celebrating.”

“Once the feast is over, your time of death will come too. It’s said you can treat the plague, what a pity, blame only yourself for crossing the wrong people by offending the Zhao Family.”

Xiang Ying crossed her arms, leaning coldly against the prison wall.

“Doesn’t the General care that the Zhao Family is rampant, bullying both men and women?”

The soldier chuckled: “The Zhao Family is a family of meritorious service, personally ennobled by the Emperor, even if they bullied a lone princess of a fallen country like you, what wrong is there?”

Xiang Ying fully understood now.

It was because she held no value, but Governor Zhao did.

Afterwards, no matter what she said, the soldier refused to speak to her again.

Xiang Ying, using the small window in the prison cell, looked outside and saw the bright full moon overhead.

According to the soldier, after the banquet ended, the Great General would send someone to execute her.

At the same time, tomorrow was the day the Great General would take control of the twenty grain depots in Lu State.

Thus, Xiang Ying had to act now to empty the grain depot.

But she looked at the iron chains on her hands and the patrolling soldiers outside passing by from time to time.

She had no idea what Jie Chen was doing at that moment, but certainly, he couldn’t help her.

If Xiang Ying wanted to escape, she’d have to go on a killing spree, which would alarm the surrounding officers.

No, she had to think of a foolproof plan.

Xiang Ying closed her eyes and concentrated, diving into the space to see if there were any cannons she could use.

The more critical the situation, the more she missed the munitions she had hoarded in her previous life.

Not to mention cannons, she had Gatlings by the thousands.

Just as Xiang Ying was circling around the computer screen, she suddenly noticed a flashing exclamation mark on it.

Turning her head, the system prompt read “Three little people encounter horse bandits, life hanging by a thread, do you provide weapons?”

In the background, the three cartoon characters Xiang Ying had helped before were being cornered by a gang of more than a dozen horse bandits on the edge of a cliff.
