Chapter 123 -123: These People Are Yours Now

A night’s rest passed and Xiang Ying was full of energy.

She went into her mystical space to prepare breakfast for herself, making a sandwich with milk to drink.

She also made time to whip up four egg tarts using the microwave.

While eating, she went upstairs to see how her cartoon characters were doing.

To her surprise, their number had increased once again!

From 42/100, it had become 60/100.

These days, they had formed a small yet organized and disciplined force.

However, the houses they lived in were still ramshackle.

Surrounded by the endless Gobi desert, the houses of Sha City were naturally built by piling up earth and mixing it with sand.

The advantage was that they were somewhat wind-resistant, but the downside was that they were constantly losing sand, leaving one covered in yellow dust after waking from sleep.

After some thought, Xiang Ying supplied building materials to these cartoon characters, such as the pepper mud she had moved from the Imperial Palace, and a variety of tools, with an unlimited supply.

After providing these, she watched them run out of the cottages and bow down on the open ground.

Having finished her last egg tart, Xiang Ying also provided them with plenty of food and clean water.

Seeing that their leader seemed to be ill, with an arm in a bandage, Xiang Ying added some medical supplies.

The little ones were grateful, dancing excitedly with their hands and feet.

Exiting the space, the children had just finished their meal.

For breakfast, Xiang Ying had prepared them egg custard and clear soup noodles.

Since they had to walk, she also provided the children with comfortable and thick insoles.

Xiang Ying noticed many unfamiliar faces among the soldiers in the team.

She called over Skinny Monkey: “Where did these men come from?”

“Don’t you know, sister-in-law? Jie Jianjun has now been promoted to Vice General, so our team suddenly lacked two Military Supervisors and two team leaders, naturally others had to be called to fill the positions.”

Xiang Ying slowly nodded and saw, not far away, a new group of Exiled Criminals being added to the team.

There were men and women among them, who appeared to be former nobles and ministers of Xizhou and their families.

They were relatives of some of the women in Xiang Ying’s group, and now in the front, they were hugging each other and crying bitterly, recounting the hardships they faced along the way.

Skinny Monkey hurriedly said: “Sister-in-law, take the children and get ready. We’re about to leave. Our team has new recruits, I need to go to the front and take charge!”

He scurried off.

Tao Xue came up beside Xiang Ying: “Elder Princess, look, that’s Lady!”

Xiang Ying looked intently.

A woman with stains on her face and dressed in a complete mess, holding Xiang Qianqian and sobbing uncontrollably.

She kept touching Xiang Qianqian’s forehead wound with her muddy hands.

Despite the disheveled appearance, it was still possible to make out the beauty and charm of the woman’s features from the past.

Indeed, it was Lady, Father’s Favored Consort.

Once upon a time, relying on her favoritism, she had been arrogant and domineering in the Imperial Palace, not even sparing Xiang Ying’s birth mother.

Tao Xue pointed over there: “Apart from Lady, there’s also Princess Consort De and Jiang Zhaoyi, these consorts who ran away with the Emperor, are they really captured and brought back?”

Qi Fengyi came back from the front after asking around, with a gloomy face.

She had hoped her family would also be among that group of Exiled Criminals, but after searching, she didn’t see a single relative.

Returning to Xiang Ying’s side, just in time to hear Tao Xue’s question, she explained:

“It’s said that on the way of fleeing, the Emperor found Princess Consort De and the others to be burdensome, hindering the speed of the carriage, so he kicked them out.”

“Also, Lady, in order to have Xizhou’s pursuers stop chasing her, the Emperor abandoned her to them.”

Although Xiang Ying was at odds with Xiang Qianqian, hearing about Emperor Xizhou’s action, she couldn’t help but curse: “That dog of a Father, truly despicable.”

Tao Xue sighed: “What a pity for the loyal military officers who vowed to follow and serve to the death.”

At that moment, Acid Scholar hurriedly approached: “Elder Princess, Vice General Jie is asking for you.”

Xiang Ying instructed Tao Xue to take good care of the three children and walked towards Jie Chen’s tent.

She pushed aside the tent flap and discovered the Great General was also present.

Upon seeing Xiang Ying, he coughed unnaturally twice.

Then, he feigned a cold and stern voice, “You fainted yesterday, I heard it was due to hunger. Are you feeling better now?”

Xiang Ying nodded, “Much better, thank you for your concern, Great General. Will you still punish me?”

Jie Chen cast a cold glance towards the Great General.

Understanding the hint, the Great General pursed his lips and said, “Vice General Jie tells me that you’ve been getting along quite well with the soldiers during the journey.”

“You even shared your food with them. Considering you’ve compensated for your mistakes with your merits, I shall not pursue your past wrongdoing for now.”

Xiang Ying’s red lips curved into a smile, “Thank you, General.”

The Great General couldn’t help but warn her, “Don’t be too pleased with yourself just yet. Although I will not be accompanying you, you still need to abide by the rules.”

“Vice General Jie may treat you well, but you must not break the rules and put him in a difficult position; otherwise, how is he supposed to manage the team?”

Jie Chen spoke indifferently, “Great General, don’t you have other matters to attend to? Please go ahead.”

It was a clear dismissal, and the Great General nodded, “I leave everything to you then.”

As he turned to leave, he looked at Xiang Ying again as he passed by her.

Ah, indeed a rare beauty. If His Highness is swayed by her beauty, what will become of the grand cause?

The Great General departed.

Jie Chen beckoned Xiang Ying over and handed her a token.

“What is this?” Xiang Ying asked curiously.

“We’ve merged two Exile Teams, now totaling over three hundred people. I only have so much energy to spare, so I’m entrusting these people to you.”

Stunned, Xiang Ying asked, “Who?”

Jie Chen called out to the outside, “Bring him in.”

The Acid Scholar brought someone in.

When she saw the man’s fierce brows and his mocking smile, Xiang Ying was surprised, “It’s you, Lu Feiyi?”

That water bandit Master.

Xiang Ying had been puzzled as to why, after Jie Chen had incorporated these water bandits, she hadn’t seen any sign of them.

It seemed they were a step behind and had only recently caught up.

Lu Feiyi saluted Xiang Ying, “Elder Princess, I bring fifty brothers to pledge our allegiance. Vice General says from now on you’re our chief, we are looking forward to your guidance.”

Despite clearly being a bandit, his conversation was tinged not just with a tough demeanor but also an air of scholarly grace.

His seemingly amused eyes always seemed to harbor a secret.

Jie Chen pointed to the token in Xiang Ying’s hand, “This will command them; you must guard it well.”

“Should any problems arise, or if they disobey, you have the authority to execute them on the spot.”

After that, Jie Chen looked at Lu Feiyi, “Go. Tell your men they must follow and obey them on this journey; do not cause chaos or trouble.”

Lu Feiyi nodded, his gaze at Xiang Ying pregnant with meaning.

“Elder Princess, we shall see you later.” With that, he left.

Unable to help herself, Xiang Ying asked, “What is the meaning of this? I’m a female prisoner, why are you having me manage people for you?”

Jie Chen crossed his arms, his handsome and cold face exuded calmness, and his deep-set eyes were inscrutable.

“I’ve thought about what you said yesterday, and I think you’re right.”

“You always act brashly, and I cannot convince you to obey. Since that’s the case, I might as well give you something to do.”

“These water bandits are hard to control, but you have the skills; you shouldn’t find it difficult to deal with them.”

Xiang Ying looked at the token in her hand.

It was made of iron, with the word “Token” on it.

“There are fifty of them, aren’t you afraid I’ll join them in a rebellion and escape?”
