She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 97 - Who is Xiang Ying

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Who is Xiang Ying!

Chapter 97 -97 Who is Xiang Ying!

Xiang Ying took out a bag of walnuts.

She stood up and smashed the bag hard with an iron pot, causing all the walnuts inside to shatter.

Xiang Ying led the way, grabbing a handful of broken walnut shells and rubbing them on her hands.

Soon, her entire palm was unevenly stained jet-black.

Peeling walnut shells stains the skin black and water cannot wash it off; it usually fades gradually after two or three days.

Lin Lingxiang was the first to react: “Does the elder princess intend for us to dirty our skin, making others think we have just been infected with the plague?”

“That’s right,” Xiang Ying nodded, “Hurry up, the boat is about to come ashore.”

Everyone quickly set to work.

Xiang Ying directed them: “Apply some on the neck, around the chest area, and on the thighs and arms too!”

After Tao Xue had applied it on herself, she also smeared the black stains on Xiang Xiuxiu, worried the crew led by the Vice General would be ruthless.

After everyone was prepared, Xiang Ying hesitated about the remaining women: “As for them…”

Seventh Princess quickly pleaded: “Big sister, I beg you on behalf of the others, give me that bag of walnuts, and I’ll have them do the same.”

“After all, among the remaining women are some of our distant relatives and close friends, we are all women, and I really can’t bear to see them humiliated…”

Xiang Ying nodded, her phoenix eyes imbued with a stern black: “That’s what I meant, so I’ll leave this task to you and Yu Pin.”

“The remaining women on the boat, I will leave to Acid Scholar to inform.”

As soon as Acid Scholar received orders from Xiang Ying, he immediately went to inform Jie Chen.

“The elder princess means to prevent problems before they occur. She’s worried that if the Vice General doesn’t bother her, he might vent on the other women,” Acid Scholar said.

Jie Chen’s eyes dark and penetrating: “She has thought this through well, then do as she said, and you take a flat boat to transfer the walnuts to the back.”

At this, Jie Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows: “Do we have that many walnuts?”

Acid Scholar resolutely brought in two bags from outside.

“The elder princess had all these prepared when she instructed.”

Jie Chen was somewhat surprised, where had Xiang Ying hidden all these walnuts before?

He suppressed his curiosity: “Then hurry up, we will arrive at Changping Ferry in just thirty minutes, let Skinny Monkey help you.”

“Yes!” Acid Scholar ran off to call Skinny Monkey.

Meanwhile, Seventh Princess also carrying a bag of walnuts, went around.

She conveyed Xiang Ying’s intentions to the women, immediately gaining everyone’s support and approval.

Since becoming exiled criminals, their greatest fear was being humiliated.

Thus, they agreed to Xiang Ying’s method without a second thought.

They also tacitly agreed among themselves that no one should reveal the truth, otherwise, it would harm the other women.

Just as Seventh Princess was about to take the walnuts back to Xiang Ying, unexpectedly, Xiang Qianqian suddenly stopped her and forcefully pulled her into the cabin next door.

“What are you doing, let go!” Seventh Princess angrily threw her off.

Yet Xiang Qianqian rushed back, pleadingly hugging her arm.

“I’ve just been following you all and heard everything from outside, big sister is worried that the Nanyue soldiers at the ferry will tarnish our purity, so she’s having us pretend to be ill.”

“Seventh sister, please help me, I don’t want to be humiliated, I’ve avoided conflict with you recently because I realized my mistakes.”

“It was all my fault before, and also because Empress Dowager Shangguan stirred up trouble, I, I am really at my wit’s end, Seventh sister, for the sake of us growing up together, please save me!”

Seventh Princess gazed at Xiang Qianqian’s face, somewhat conflicted.

Xiang Qianqian’s face was streaming with tears, her almond eyes brimming with fear and desperation.

Being from the same clan, Seventh Princess found it difficult to watch her suffer.

Thus, after pondering, she finally compromised: “I can help you, but you must keep it a secret. Don’t leak a word to anyone; if elder sister doesn’t deal with you, I certainly will not spare you!”

Xiang Qianqian nodded vigorously: “I definitely won’t speak out, not unless I wish to die!”

Only then did Seventh Princess open the bag, and Xiang Qianqian buried herself in it, rubbing walnut shells on her body and face.

“Enough is enough, too much and it might arouse suspicion,” Seventh Princess said, and Xiang Qianqian finally crawled out of the sack.

“Thank you, Seventh Sister, I will surely repay you,” Xiang Qianqian cried.

Seventh Princess pursed her lips, “No need, I can’t take it. Just don’t turn around and bite me, that’s all.”

At this moment, Yu Pin’s voice came from outside the door; she had come to call Seventh Princess to report back to Xiang Ying.

All the women on the six boats were united in their hatred and ready to face the hardships.

The ships were about to dock, and on the shoreline, a dark mass of the Iron Armor Army was already arrayed.

The Vice General, leading this fierce army, had been the main force to first breach the Xizhou Palace. They were savage, blood drinkers with a strong lust for killing.

At this moment, Xiang Ying just stood on the deck and with a glance knew dark clouds were ominously gathering.

She roughly estimated, there were probably more than five hundred men.

However, the Iron Armor Army was certainly more than just these few; there must be more soldiers stationed at the camp.

The other female dependents peered out the windows, saw this formidable sight, and turned pale with fear.

So many merciless enemy soldiers, if they truly fell into their hands, what would their fate be…

For a moment, some were fearful, some were nervous, and some were filled with courage.

Everything was there, except no woman wept.

They all knew that at this time, tears were useless.

They couldn’t help but pin their hopes on Xiang Ying.

Praying the elder princess could quickly resolve the crisis and lead them onto a safe path again.

Finally, with the thud of the anchor, the ship docked at the ferry.

When the gangplank was laid down, a group of Iron Armor Soldiers immediately clambered up, escorting the exiled criminals down.

Xiang Ying was about to walk to the front, but Jie Chen swiftly pulled her behind him.

And gave her a warning glance, whispering lowly, “Follow behind me, don’t speak out indiscriminately in a while.”

Xiang Ying furrowed her brows but followed his instruction.

After disembarking, Jie Chen, along with Supervisor Ke and Supervisor Wei, went forward.

“Greetings, Vice General.”

Xiang Ying slightly raised her eyes and saw the man on the horseback, rugged and fierce-looking with a hawkish nose that made him appear particularly sinister.

He dismounted, striding forward, his eyes cold and venomous like a snake’s, sweeping across all the exiled criminals.

“Who is Xiang Ying!” he shouted sternly, causing all the birds by the river to startle, flapping their wings to fly afar.

At the entire dock, only the water noise whooshed, no other sound was heard.

Supervisor Wei turned back and glanced at Xiang Ying.

Feeling his gaze, the Vice General immediately drew his long sword and strode towards Xiang Ying.
