She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 171: Among All My Mother’s Male Concubines, You Resemble Father the Most

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Among All My Mother’s Male Concubines, You Resemble Father the Most

Xiang Ying immediately handed Tao Xue to the beside, where Qi Fengyi, driven red-eyed by slaughter, stood.

She turned to search for her daughter, Xiang Xiuxiu.

Upon spotting her, she saw that Xiang Xiuxiu’s horse had already sprinted far away, desperately running in the field at the foot of the hill.

The little one’s hands clung tightly to the reins, her small body tossed about chaotically.

Behind her, there was the figure of Aren madly chasing on horseback.

Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes stirred up a trail of dust.

She grabbed someone else’s horse, mounted it, and chased in the direction of Xiang Xiuxiu.

Jie Chen also saw Xiang Xiuxiu was in danger and had chased after her before Xiang Ying.

As the two sped forward, one on the left and one on the right, they suddenly saw Aren standing on the horse’s back.

In the midst of the rapid gallop, he was still able to stand stable!

Then, Aren found an opportunity, lunged forward fiercely, instantly scooping Xiang Xiuxiu into his arms. Both children fell off the horse’s back, rolling several times and kicking up dust.

"Xiu Xiu! Aren!" Xiang Ying lashed her whip to speed up.

She and Jie Chen arrived nearby, not even stopping their horses, Xiang Ying quickly jumped down.

Aren was holding Xiang Xiuxiu tightly in his arms, unharmed.

The little girl’s dark eyes twinkled with a frightened light.

"Mother! I’m sorry, I won’t try to show off again next time. I originally wanted to hold six horses at once, but my hands were too small... I ended up being dragged away instead."

She nestled into Xiang Ying’s arms, apologetically.

Xiang Ying gently patted her back: "As long as you’re not hurt, it’s fine."

Speaking, Xiang Ying looked up at Aren, who had fainted, with Jie Chen checking his injuries.

Jie Chen spoke in a deep voice: "His arm seems to be broken."

Not just that, every single exposed skin on Aren’s body bore scrapes of varying degrees.

But for Xiang Ying, treating these was nothing challenging.

Xiang Xiuxiu felt extremely guilty: "He ended up like this while trying to save me, Mother... can we adopt him?"

Xiang Ying pursed her lips: "Xiuxiu, whether we can adopt him or not, Mother doesn’t have the final say."

She gave a meaningful look.

Xiang Xiuxiu immediately understood, stretched out her soft little hand, and from Xiang Ying’s arms, she moved into Jie Chen’s.

"Uncle Jie, you are the best, you’re more like a father than any of mother’s male concubines, let us keep him please!"

Xiang Ying suppressed the urge to laugh.

As if Jie Chen would fall for that.

The little girl this time might be disappointed.

"Alright, then let’s take him with us." Jie Chen suddenly nodded in agreement.

Xiang Ying was startled: "Just like that?"

Jie Chen held Xiang Xiuxiu in his arms, his large palm soothingly patting her little head.

In passing, he glanced at Xiang Ying: "Aren wants to stay, and Xiuxiu wants him to follow us, why would I disagree?"

"As long as it doesn’t cause chaos, I’ve agreed to many of your requests."

Xiang Ying found herself at a loss for words.

She glanced in the direction of the exile camp, where the situation had already stabilized.

After all, the refugees were just civilians, no match for actual battle-hardened soldiers.

Xiang Ying asked Jie Chen to go back and oversee the overall situation while she first treated Aren.

After Jie Chen left, Xiang Xiuxiu obediently stood to the side.

With wide-open eyes, the little girl watched as Xiang Ying took one object after another from her sleeve.

Her eyes widened and she let out several soft exclamations in succession.

It turned out her mother could not only produce food but also had so many bottles and jars.

Xiang Ying first checked how severe Aren’s fractures were, thankfully, they could heal with time.

In order to help Aren’s wound heal faster, Xiang Ying endured the pain and exchanged for a bottle of Super Second Bone Rapid Recovery Liquid from the trading system in her space.

She first sprayed the liquid, then used gauze and a wooden board to secure Aren’s arm.

Afterwards, Xiang Ying poured saline on the abrasions on Aren’s body, then swiftly applied several layers of medicine.

Xiang Xiuxiu saw Xiang Ying doing so much, but Aren still showed no signs of waking up.

She couldn’t help but nervously pinch her little hand: "Mother, will big brother die?"

"No, he has a long life ahead of him," Xiang Ying administered two pills and a painkiller to Aren, washing them down with water.

She placed Aren and Xiang Xiuxiu on horseback and led them back to their camp.

At this moment, Jie Chen’s men were fiercely whipping the refugees.

Li Fengcheng, known as Bai Wuchang, ruthlessly pulled out the fingernails of some refugees, causing them to scream in agony.

Xiang Ying saw that Xiang Yuanshuo and Xiang Yuanlang were both standing by Lu Feiyi’s side and nodded towards him.

At this time, Skinny Monkey was loudly interrogating, "Our route has already been changed, who told you we had food, leading you to rob us?"

At first, they wouldn’t say, but they couldn’t withstand Bai Wuchang pulling out their fingernails one by one.

Finally, when it was a short, chubby man’s turn, he trembled looking at the bloody knife blade in Li Fengcheng’s hand.

"Yes, it was the exile team that passed by earlier that said it. We overheard them."

Skinny Monkey looked at Jie Chen and Acid Scholar lowered his voice: "A team ahead? It’s escorting some of Xizhou’s high-ranking military generals, led by Supervisor Cao Ming."

He glanced at the refugees and continued in a low voice: "Cao Ming was previously under the Sixth Prince."

Jie Chen’s eyes sharpened like a thin blade when hearing the words ’Sixth Prince’, a fleeting fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The people of the Sixth Prince wanted these refugees to direct their spears at him, the purpose was simple.

They didn’t want Jie Chen to return to Nanyue as planned.

At this moment, Xiang Ying suddenly asked, "Is that team large in number?"

The refugees, unaware of her identity, replied in fear: "Many... the soldiers guarding them are even more numerous, each heavily armed, we cannot afford to offend them."

"When we begged them for food, they said there was an exile team behind with sufficient food that could assist us, so we... we waited here."

Xiang Ying’s eyes lit up.

A lot of people and weapons, that’s perfect!

What she needed now was weapons, to upgrade her space.

Xiang Ying suggested to Jie Chen, "Since that Supervisor Cao himself said such words, we should take these refugees and find him."

Jie Chen suddenly looked at her, slightly furrowing his brow: "Don’t be reckless."

Xiang Ying folded her arms, speaking righteously: "What’s wrong? As the Military Supervisor of Nanyue, isn’t it normal for him to help the refugees? We don’t have enough food, and after all, he was the one who said it; he can’t ask us to do what he himself hasn’t accomplished, can he?"

Hearing this, Acid Scholar whispered to Jie Chen: "Deputy General, we really should take this opportunity to establish authority, Cao Ming is a lingering threat if not eliminated; this could be a chance to shake the mountain to scare the tiger."

Jie Chen was silent for a moment, then summoned Skinny Monkey.

"How far is Mei City from here?"

"According to the reconnaissance soldiers’ judgment, another two days’ journey will get us there."

"Let’s set off now, no resting on the way, and arrive at Mei City by the morning after next."

Skinny Monkey hurriedly asked, "What about these refugees?"

Jie Chen first glanced at Xiang Ying, then instructed, "Bring them all along, there’s relief food in Mei City, you don’t need to rob, and you can still get what you need."

The refugees looked at each other and all knelt down in gratitude.

They had been driven out of Mei City, now they could follow back, it was great!

Xiang Ying lifted the children onto the wagon.

Suddenly a figure pounced over, but was quickly blocked by the agile Qi Fengyi.

"What are you trying to do!"

Xiang Ying turned around and saw it was Xiang Qianqian.

There had been rumors of her madness, and she behaved crazily along the journey, managing to eat the dirty mantou others offered.

Now, Xiang Qianqian clutched tightly to Xiang Ying’s sleeve.

"Big sister, I just sprained my ankle, can I sit in your wagon?" She was crying with tears streaming down, looking like she had regained her sanity.
