She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 209 Xiang Ying Goes to the Mountains to Stock Up

Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Xiang Ying Goes to the Mountains to Stock Up

Xiang Ying thought she almost misread it.

"Ten hundred thousand million..." She counted one by one, the decimals for exchanging satellite resources.

In the end, she was completely stunned.

Such high-grade things were indeed very costly.

It actually required food resources worth a billion!

Even if she made the planting layer in space work day and night like a production team’s donkey.

It was impossible to store so much food in a short period of time.

Forget it, she gave up.

Without satellite thermal imaging, she had other ways to find those people; it would just take more effort.

At this moment.

Jie Chen and his group had already decided to set out toward Bai City.

The court had also sent a letter yesterday.

The Emperor was very angry knowing that the Sixth Prince had mishandled guarding the grain depot.

He demanded that the Sixth Prince follow the Exile Team, eat the same food as the Military Supervisors, and escort the prisoners back to the Capital to make up for his mistakes.

However, the letter did not mention a single word about Jie Chen losing Xiang Ying and other prisoners.

The Sixth Prince had clearly secretly written to complain, yet their Father, the Emperor, was truly lenient and tolerant towards Jie Chen.

On the journey of exile, Jie Chen rode at the very front.

The sounds of disputes soon came from behind, then stopped.

He turned back and saw Skinny Monkey coming over, furiously.

"What happened back there?"

Skinny Monkey clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "The Sixth Prince was thirsty and ordered a prisoner from Xizhou to fetch water from a nearby stream, but I stopped him."

"The prisoners from Xizhou aren’t his servants, there’s no need to serve him, especially since the Emperor said the Sixth Prince has no special privileges, I definitely won’t indulge him."

Jie Chen nodded: "Next time he makes unreasonable demands, just refuse directly."

Acid Scholar caught up on his horse from behind.

"Deputy General, scouts from the nearby mountain path came back. They found an inn with signs of a struggle, and behind the inn, there’s a newly buried grave. They suspect that Xiang Ying had passed by there and had a conflict with someone else."

"If we follow the route, she didn’t head back to Xizhou but went forward instead. I suggest you to issue an arrest warrant from the nearby official government now. If Xiang Ying dares to appear, just capture her and bring her back."

Jie Chen’s knuckles whitened as he gripped the reins tightly.

His eyes cold and somber, he stared forward for a long while before saying, "Forget about her for now, our priority is to safely escort this group of prisoners back to the Capital."

Acid Scholar frowned, "But..."

The Emperor will punish us.

The Emperor doesn’t know now because King Yong kept this matter suppressed.

Because Jie Chen lied to King Yong, saying he had found Yin Feihua and was on his way to Nanyue with her.

That’s why King Yong agreed to protect Jie Chen. freewebnøvel.com

If King Yong finds out this was a lie, he will definitely turn against Jie Chen.

Yet Jie Chen remained unmoved.

As if it was his wish that Xiang Ying left.

Acid Scholar was even more baffled as to why Jie Chen would refuse Governor Lu’s kind intentions.

Marrying Miss Lu would reduce the obstacles in his ambitious path.

Even more puzzling to Acid Scholar was that Miss Lu seemed relieved to learn that she wouldn’t have to marry Jie Chen.

On the day they left, she still had someone send two sachets to refresh and revive them.

However, one was given to Jie Chen, and the other, slightly more intricate and luxurious, was given to the Sixth Prince.

Inside the carriage.

Xiang Qianqian wore a veil to cover the scars on her face.

Lu Pancu’s blow was really too harsh; she had cuts below her cheeks and ears.

At the time, blood flowed freely; even though it had stopped now, the wounds were still pinkish, looking quite gruesome at a glance.

Ever since the Sixth Prince saw it and frowned, Xiang Qianqian simply wore the veil all the time, even in her sleep.

She harbored a gnawing hatred for Pan Chu in her heart.

Pan Chu better pray that she doesn’t fall into her hands one day.

Otherwise, Qianqian will definitely make her regret provoking her!

For Lin Lingxiang and the others, Qianqian’s facial injury meant she wouldn’t be causing them trouble anymore.

They considered this as a good deed done by Pan Chu.

Pei Qinglin gathered his people, including Xiang Ying and Qi Fengyi, totaling twenty people.

They first went to Huayou Town near Bai City and opened an inn to settle down Tao Xue, Aren, and the three children.

You see, the three little ones had been rubbing their hands with anticipation of capturing bandits.

But they were dumbfounded when they realized Xiang Ying had no intention of taking them along.

Yuanxiao chased after Xiang Ying.

"Why won’t you take us? It’s understandable not to bring the second brother and little sister, but take me, I’ll curse them to death!"

Xiang Ying was packing the necessities for a mountain expedition.

Water bottles, dry cakes, beef jerky, pork, two sets of changing clothes, and a pair of thick-soled shoes.

Upon hearing this, she took a moment to rub Yuanxiao’s chubby little face.

"It’s not time to use you guys yet."

"Why? Do you despise us for being children? I’m already four!"

Xiang Ying paused, turned around, crouched down, and seriously told the little one, "You’ve heard in the plays, the climax always features the most powerful characters, right?"

Yuanxiao nodded.

Xiang Ying continued, "So, I need to save your energy to deal with the climax characters."

Yuanxiao, tilting his head, looked puzzled, "Aren’t the climax villains those bandits?"

Xiang Ying smiled and shook her head, pointing to Pei Qinglin, who was choosing horses nearby.

She whispered, "In case this uncle changes his mind and doesn’t give us the acquittal letter, that’s when you guys will enter the scene."

Yuanxiao suddenly realized.

A cold smirk appeared on his tender little face.

"If he dares not to give it, I’ll curse all the horses he rides to have diarrhea."

Yuanxiao finally understood and went to persuade Yuan Lang and Xiu Xiu.

Tao Xue checked Xiang Ying’s pack and said worriedly, "Master, you must be careful and ensure your safety."

Xiang Ying nodded, "Don’t worry."

She handed Tao Xue several porcelain bottles filled with medicinal powder and spoke in a low voice.

"Just in case, I saw the grain stores in town emptied out too, probably due to famine. There isn’t much food around, so I’ve stored a lot of food under your beds. Be careful when you eat it, don’t let others see."

Tao Xue nodded earnestly.

Xiang Ying also gave Aren a crossbow, instructing him to guard it well and use it to protect everyone if necessary.

Aren felt the immense responsibility and promised to live up to Xiang Ying’s trust.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of the early day, Xiang Ying and Qi Fengyi mounted their horses and followed Pei Qinglin and his group into the forest.

According to Pei Qinglin’s previous investigations, the bandit group numbered around thirty to forty people.

They were desperados who valued money over their lives.

They had the vast mountains as their backdrop, making them very well-hidden, so finding them required some special methods.

Once in the forest, Xiang Ying slowed her horse’s pace, following behind Pei Qinglin.

Pei Qinglin led the way, cutting through the thorns on the path with his sword.

He looked back at Xiang Ying, "Mr. Wang, aren’t you bringing any weapons for self-defense?"

Xiang Ying smiled, "My fists are enough, carrying too much is cumbersome."

She could pull out a sharp weapon from her space anytime, and she had also prepared several explosive packages, enough to give those bandits a hard time.

Pei Qinglin, however, felt she was underestimating the enemy.

"Princess Xining is different from other women; she has practiced martial arts since a young age and is quite skilled. Even she was captured, clearly indicating there must be exceptionally skilled individuals among those bandits. Mr. Wang cannot afford to be careless."

After saying this, he shouted, "Catch."

Pei Qinglin threw something over, and Xiang Ying caught it, looking down.

He had given her his own sword.
