Chapter 101 -101: Why Is Jie Chen Such A Jealous Jar?
Xiang Ying walked on the moonlit mountain trail with a pleasant mood.
She jogged all the way, preparing to return to their camp.
Actually, the campsite of the Vice General was only half a mountain away from theirs.
Had she not been afraid of waking the kids, Xiang Ying had planned to leave them an explosive as a departing gift to send them to the afterlife.
After some thought, she restrained herself.
Might as well wait for the Vice General to die agonizingly slow, then set off the fireworks to celebrate, hmm!
She had just arrived at the encampment of the exiled criminals, when she saw the figure of Jie Chen riding away on horseback.
Xiang Ying paused for a moment.
Where could Jie Chen be going this late?
Judging by his direction, it seemed he was headed into the city, and not looking for the Vice General.
Thinking of her recent discovery that Supervisor Wei was a spy, Xiang Ying silently followed.
After walking a distance, she pulled out a thousand-mile horse from her space and followed from afar.
Fortunately, the road into the city was very smooth, so even from a great distance, she did not lose track of Jie Chen.
However, once inside the city, it wouldn’t be so easy.
The night-draped Luzhou City lay in absolute stillness.
It had been occupied by the forces of Nanyue, save for the occasional lively noises from the main road not far away.
But the alleys and side streets Xiang Ying followed Jie Chen down were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
She followed carefully, fearful of being detected.
Fortunately, Jie Chen did not look back, not even once.
Finally, Jie Chen stopped in front of a house, knocked on the door, and a gentle female voice came from inside: “You’ve arrived.”
As the door opened, Xiang Ying, taking advantage of the faint warm light in the courtyard, saw that the one who opened the door for Jie Chen was a young girl around seventeen or eighteen.
Upon seeing Jie Chen, the girl showed a mix of surprise and delight: “Mr. Jie, please come in.”
Jie Chen nodded, didn’t waste any words, but looked around vigilantly to confirm no one was following him.
Xiang Ying quickly hid herself, and when she looked out again, Jie Chen had already entered the courtyard.
She couldn’t help but be curious.
What was the relationship between this girl and Jie Chen?
A paramour? Wife? Lover? His unattainable love?
Xiang Ying silently pondered for a moment.
Then she suddenly realized, this matter had nothing to do with her.
With that, she decisively turned around and left.

Since she was already in the city, Xiang Ying retrieved a map of Luzhou City from the Book Collection Building area in her space.
She had previously scouted around twenty granaries.
Luzhou City was truly a large city, and these twenty granaries were crucial for the supply of troops coming and going from Nanyue.
Therefore, the granaries here were not as loosely guarded as those in Yu City; their defenses were extremely strict.
Around each granary, there was a guard stationed every five steps.
Xiang Ying climbed onto a tree and watched from afar, narrowing her eyes.
It seemed difficult to sneak in.
Just as she was about to leave, two soldiers, who appeared to be team leaders from their attire, walked by below, one of them yawning tiredly with a hint of complaint: “How long do we have to keep guarding these granaries without sleep?”
The companion responded: “Soon, in another two or three days, the General will send people to take this batch of food away, and then we can relax.”
They walked away, and Xiang Ying squinted her phoenix eyes.
No wonder so many were guarding the twenty granaries; it turns out the General wanted them.
The General they spoke of must be the leader of the main force marching on Xizhou—the Great General Changsheng.
“””
As for the Deputy General, Jie Chen and others, they all must obey his commands.
Xiang Ying just couldn’t understand one thing.
The battle was over, so why did they need to take away so much grain and fodder?
Nanyue was richer than Xizhou, so theoretically, they should not be short of food.
Moreover, Xiang Ying always remembered from the original story, descriptions regarding the grain and fodder of Luzhou.
The Governor of Luzhou originally intended to present this batch of grain to the General of Nanyue, as a gesture to show his sincere intent to join him.
But due to a sudden fire incident, twenty granaries were burned to the ground.
Does that mean the fire is going to happen these couple of days?
Xiang Ying saw that it was getting late, so she jumped down from the tree and hurried back to the camp under the moonlight.
Jie Chen didn’t stay long in the small courtyard; when he came out, he subconsciously looked towards the corner.
But the place was empty, with only the cold moonlight.
Jie Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as if he was lost in thought.
At that moment, a woman’s voice came from behind: “Mr. Jie, what are you thinking about?”
Jie Chen came back to his senses and glanced sideways: “Nothing much. I’m preparing to head back. You, be careful these next few days and keep an eye out for strangers.”
With that, he took a step and left, his figure blending into the darkness.
When Jie Chen returned to the camp where the exiled criminals were stationed, he saw that all the tents were identical and white.
Skinny Monkey came over to greet him, following his gaze, and immediately gave a sly smile.
“Pretty impressive, huh? Sister-in-law knows how to set up tents, we all learned from her.”
Jie Chen’s deep eyes were dark as he asked coldly: “Has she been behaving herself tonight?”
Skinny Monkey nodded: “Yep, as soon as it got dark, sister-in-law just lay down and fell asleep.”
Jie Chen pressed his lips together: “Which one is her tent?”
Skinny Monkey pointed: “Over there.”
Jie Chen strode over and gently lifted the curtain, peering inside with the help of the moonlight.
Xiang Ying was lying in the middle, her left arm around Xiang Yuanshuo, her right arm around Xiang Xiuxiu.
To the left was Xiang Yuanlang lying flat, with Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi lying on their sides.
With them, she seemed to be sleeping quite soundly.
Jie Chen slowly let the curtain fall and turned back to see Skinny Monkey’s face beaming with joy.
“Seeing sister-in-law like this, living peacefully with the kids, makes me envious of the Military Supervisor. I really want to rush home, get married, have kids, and huddle warm on the kang!”
Jie Chen’s eyes, sharp as knives, swept over: “You’ve been watching her?”
Skinny Monkey’s grin vanished instantly as he honestly lowered his head: “Sir, I was wrong. I have eye problems, always glancing around improperly. I’ll donate my eyes to some undeserving, no, to some needy person…”
Jie Chen’s words were frosty: “Go on patrol.”
Skinny Monkey scurried away meekly.
In his heart, he grumbled, never realizing that their Jie Military Supervisor was such a jealous type.
Early the next morning.
Xiang Ying was woken up by noisy lamentations outside before she had fully woken up.
Tao Xue nudged her: “It’s trouble, elder princess, the Vice General has sent people to search.”
Xiang Ying opened her eyes groggily: “What nuisance again, he’s still not dead?”
How hard he was to kill.
She had gained quite a lot last night and had drawn a map of Luzhou’s granaries in her space for the whole night, ready to devise a flawless plan.
The damn Vice General, sending people again to disturb her sweet dreams.
The three little ones were also sleepy like soft and squishy dolls; as Tao Xue dressed them one by one, a ferocious-looking soldier burst into the tent:
“What are you still sleeping for at this hour? Get up, fast! Last night the grain stores of the camp were stolen, all the Vice General’s stuff has flown the coop, there must be a traitor among us!”
“Come out quick, we need to search everyone, not a single one will be missed!”
