She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 172: Jie Chen, Come with Me to Stock Up

Xiang Ying glanced at her, her face fair and bright, devoid of any superfluous emotions.

"No." Xiang Ying flatly refused.

If it were someone else, she might have felt a bit of sympathy, but it was absolutely impossible for Xiang Qianqian to take a seat.

Xiang Qianqian also heard the decisiveness in Xiang Ying’s tone, her voice choked as she lowered her head, "I’m sorry, I disturbed you..."

She turned and staggered away, her limping figure thin and pitiful.

Tao Xue couldn’t help but say, "After Lady was killed by the Snow Beast, Princess Consort De and the others dispersed like birds and beasts, and no one cared about the Fifth Princess anymore."

Qi Fengyi glanced at her, "Don’t pity her, don’t forget, how many people she indirectly killed along this journey."

Tao Xue was solemn, "Of course I won’t pity her, no matter what, she deserves it."

As Qianqian staggered past Xiang Li, he watched her appearance, wanting to say something but stopped himself.

Lin Lingxiang quickly hugged Xiang Li’s arm, "Your Highness, the elder princess is waiting for you to get on the carriage over there, let’s go."

Xiang Li nodded, his lips pursed, ultimately not saying anything to Qianqian.

The exile team continued their journey towards Mei City.

The road was flat, yet everywhere one could see the dead civilians.

Xiang Ying’s two carriages, three children and the unconscious Aren in one.

As dawn just began to break, Aren finally woke up.

However, the pain in his arm instantly swept through his thoughts, causing him to howl in pain.

Xiang Xiuxiu got excited, "Mother, he’s awake!"

Xiang Ying lifted the curtain and boarded the carriage.

"Don’t move, let me see." She held Aren’s shaking arm.

Unexpectedly, this action made Aren grimaced in pain.

Xiang Ying checked and found his bones were healing fast, surely due to the medicine.

But they were not completely healed yet, so Aren’s pain was inevitable.

Xiang Ying smiled, "There’s no helping it, it’s certain you’d be in pain after falling from the horse, just rest and you’ll be fine."

Aren looked at her, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, making his eyes appear even darker and brighter.

"So sister, are you willing to take me in?"

Xiang Ying’s expression became serious, "No, once you’re healed, you still have to leave."

With that, she pulled open the curtain and jumped down from the carriage.

Aren gritted his teeth, sat up and leaned in a different position.

Xiang Xiuxiu, holding a handkerchief with her milky white little hands, wiped the sweat off his forehead.

His deep black eyes glanced at the little girl, "Thank you, is there anything to eat?"

Xiang Xiuxiu generously took out her own dried meat.

"Yes, here you go."

Aren’s hand was not very convenient, Xiang Xiuxiu actively tried to feed him.

However, before the little girl could reach the dried meat to Aren’s mouth, her brothers, Xiang Yuanshuo and Xiang Yuanlang, stopped her.

They grabbed Xiang Xiuxiu’s sleeves from both sides, eyes warily fixed on Aren.

"Sister, you are being too kind to him."

"He saved me," the little girl blinked her big eyes.

Xiang Yuanlang coldly said, "Then let him eat by himself."

Xiang Yuanshuo took the dried meat and stuffed it into Aren’s uninjured hand.

Aren lowered his head and tore at the meat, gobbling it down.

Xiang Ying, worried about Xiang Li’s leg not fully healed yet, so settled him into the second carriage, along with Lin Lingxiang and Mr. Lin.

Before, the growth acceleration liquid left over from treating Aren was all used by Xiang Ying on Xiang Li’s knees.

His legs below the knees had been completely punctured before, now the flesh has grown back, only pity the bones in the knees are growing slowly.

Luckily, Xiang Li is young and strong, he has plenty of time to recover slowly.

When Jie Chen asked the exile team to stop and rest for a while, Xiang Ying brought some food to the children.

Today they had hot shrimp noodle soup, and with a bowl down, the children licked their lips in delight.

Only Aren stared at his bowl puzzledly: "Where did the shrimp come from?"

Xiang Ying, biting on dried meat, hummed: "If you keep asking, you won’t get to eat."

Aren immediately dared not ask further, gulping down two big bowls.

He wiped his mouth with his arm, holding his fractured arm, and sat down next to Xiang Ying.

Aren glanced at Jie Chen not far away.

"A-sister, do you hate this Deputy General? I have a way, I can help you kill him, then take you all to escape."

Xiang Ying raised her eyebrows, seeing the turmoil in the eyes of the thirteen-year-old boy, she chuckled.

"Don’t you see the people around are all his men, yet you dare say such things?"

"For A-sister, I fear nothing, even if he has many people, what of it? In the wasteland, no one knows the terrain better than me, plus, I see some people only listen to A-sister, we can definitely rebel."

Xiang Ying didn’t know how this young boy Aren learned the word "rebel."

But she patted her skirt, somewhat uninterestedly said: "I don’t want to rebel, we will soon arrive at Mei City, following the Deputy General is the only way to have enough food."

Xiang Ying casually made an excuse.

However, Aren felt that she didn’t believe his words.

He, somewhat anxious to prove himself, quickly caught up to Xiang Ying.

"Don’t worry, A-sister, I really have a way, there’s a cave nearby with lots of weapons and explosives!"

Xiang Ying’s departing steps suddenly halted.

She turned back: "Where did you learn of this?"

Aren looked around, lowering his voice: "I saw when the team ahead passed by, they hid it there."

"At first, I could only follow from a distance, thinking it was some kind of food. After they left, I snuck into the cave, only to find it was full of weapons."

Xiang Ying squinted: "You’re not lying to me, are you?"

"A-sister! What kind of person do you think I am? If I lied to you, I deserve to die!"

"Alright!" Xiang Ying glared at him, "You’re so young, why do you always speak so harshly? Wait here for me."

She went directly to find Jie Chen.

At this moment, Jie Chen was leading a horse by the river, Acid Scholar reporting in a low voice.

"Master, a secret message from the Capital has arrived, they have captured the escaped Emperor of Xizhou, to save his life, the Emperor Xizhou proposed a condition to our Emperor."

"What condition?" asked Jie Chen in a cold voice.

The Acid Scholar lowered his voice: "The Emperor Xizhou claims that the Imperial Jade Seal is on Xiang Ying, the elder princess. If Xiang Ying fails to deliver the Imperial Jade Seal upon reaching the Capital City, he suggested handing her to our Emperor for disposal."

A fierce killing intent flared in Jie Chen’s eyes.

"Is there such a cunning and deceitful father in this world?"

Xiang Ying is his own daughter, along this journey, he did not care what his daughter experienced, instead, her future and life are being gambled away yet again.

Acid Scholar could not help saying: "The Emperor has always wanted the Imperial Jade Seal, you know that. If you continue to have relations with Xiang Ying, the Emperor might suspect the Jade Seal has ended up in your hands."

He had just finished speaking when Xiang Ying’s voice came from nearby.

"Scholar, step aside for a moment, I have something to discuss privately with Jie Chen."

Xiang Ying approached, obviously not having heard their conversation.

The Acid Scholar looked at Jie Chen, who pressed his lips tightly together, gave a slight nod.

Only then he left.

Xiang Ying was straightforward: "Jie Chen, the Sixth Prince is hoarding weapons to deal with you, shall we go and surround the place he hides his stuff?"
