Chapter 98 -98: This is what you chose to take yourself
Xiang Ying secretly gripped the sleeve soft sword, ready for a forceful confrontation.
Yet, Jie Chen, as if he had eyes on the back of his head and knew what she was planning, reached out and stopped her in her tracks.
Before Jie Chen could step forward to engage, Supervisor Ke had already sprung into action.
“Deputy General, please allow your subordinate to explain…”
He didn’t even finish his sentence when the Deputy General forcefully grabbed the back of his neck and slammed him to the ground!
In an instant that no one had time to react, the Deputy General drew his sword and severed the tendons in Supervisor Ke’s left hand!
The exiled criminals let out frightened cries, mixed with Supervisor Ke’s screams, which filled Changping Ferry with a heavy air of solemnity and murder.
Irritated, the Deputy General exclaimed, “As Military Supervisors, you actually allowed an exiled female criminal to act wildly! The moment she killed Captain Jia, you should have executed her on the spot!”
“Do you really think that if I only punish her, I will let you off the hook!”
He lifted the sharp blade and slashed it straight at Supervisor Ke’s neck.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes suddenly sharpened, her figure moved, and the white blade of her sword appeared from her sleeve.
There were two “clangs” as two sword blades intercepted the Deputy General’s move.
The Deputy General looked up to see Jie Chen and Xiang Ying, who had surprisingly acted in unison, now standing to his left and right.
Cold sweat poured down Supervisor Ke’s face as he trembled, “Deputy General! We know we are wrong, but this prisoner Xiang Ying, she saved…”
Before he could finish, the Deputy General shouted loudly, “Seize these two!”
Immediately, the Iron Armor Army swarmed forward, while Xiang Ying and Jie Chen drew their swords to defend.
In the midst of the urgent situation, Jie Chen did not forget to sternly remind, “Xiang Ying! Hold back your killing intent!”
If she killed Nanyue soldiers in front of the Deputy General, things would only become more difficult to resolve.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes gleamed pitch black, like two curved black crescent blades.
The soft sword she wielded, as if it had eyes, not only coiled around the necks of the Iron Armor Army but also skillfully avoided their vital points.
The Iron Armor soldier didn’t dare to move, fearing that any struggle would result in the sharp soft sword slicing his throat.
Now, as others approached from behind to ambush, Xiang Ying’s left fist and right kick effortlessly fended them off.
In the chaos, Supervisor Wei, with his head in his hands, helped Supervisor Ke to his feet, and the two retreated, hiding back amongst the exiled criminals.
Tao Xue immediately handed over a cloth, “Quickly bandage him up a bit!”
Supervisor Ke’s complexion turned pale from blood loss, as he leaned on Supervisor Wei’s shoulder, letting them tightly bind his wrist where the tendons were severed.
The cloth was swiftly soaked with blood.
The three little ones closely followed Xiang Ying’s every move, ready to assist at any moment.
The Deputy General also realized that this elder princess from Xizhou was extremely capable.
If he didn’t kill her now, she would become a great threat in the future!
Just as Xiang Ying kicked away an Iron Armor soldier attempting to ambush Jie Chen, she suddenly heard Xiang Xiuxiu’s shrill crying, “Let go of my uncle!”
She looked back just to see that the Deputy General had seized the opportunity while Xiang Li was hindered by his limping leg to have him restrained.
Not only Xiang Li, but Lin Lingxiang and Mr. Lin, who tried to break free, were all controlled by the Iron Armor Army.
The Deputy General’s sinister gaze cast towards her, “Xiang Ying, make one more move, and I will take his life immediately!”
Hearing this, Xiang Ying and Jie Chen both paused.
Xiang Ying tossed her soft sword to the ground, throwing it with a clanging sound.
“Captain Jia was killed by me; if there is any issue, come at me, why make it difficult for others?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Deputy General signaled and the Iron Armor Army immediately pushed the two of them to the ground.
Xiang Li had a sword blade pressed against his neck, yet his gaze was completely fearless.
He said to Xiang Ying, “Ayin, do what you must, the rest doesn’t matter.”
The Deputy General tightened his grip on his collar: “Cut the crap!”
Jie Chen looked up with thin eyes, his stern face even more austere.
“Captain Jia openly violated military order, even if Xiang Ying doesn’t kill him, I will execute him – moreover, on the way here, Xiang Ying has dealt with the rat plague, which is a merit in itself.”
“Isn’t the Deputy General’s current behaviour exactly an abuse of power for personal gain?”
A cold questioning left the Deputy General with even more sinister eyes, and he snickered heavily twice.
“Just as the letter said, you have been so bewitched by this Xiang Ying that you’ve lost all reason. Supervisor Ke, read out what you wrote for everyone to hear, and let everyone know how confused Jie Chen is!”
Supervisor Ke’s lips were pale, his eyes filled with shame as he looked at Jie Chen and said weakly, “I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have sent that letter.”
If he had known earlier, why would he have quarreled with Jie Chen in the first place?
Righteously, the Deputy General declared, “Jie Chen, I heard that on the way here, you have repeatedly shown leniency to these Exiled Criminals.”
“The Emperor only ordered us to bring them back, not that we couldn’t beat and humiliate them. By protecting these people in this way, could it be that during your years undercover in Xizhou, you have developed sentiments for this country and its people?”
“If that’s really the case, then I must make a thorough report to the Emperor.”
Jie Chen’s eyes, filled with the cold sharpness of blades, retorted: “As you wish.”
Seeing his disdain, the Deputy General felt a frustrating puff of air, as if punching cotton.
One Jie Chen, one Xiang Ying, both troublemakers!
He pointed at the women and ordered the soldiers, “Strip off their clothes!”
The Iron Armor Army soldiers, already restless, pounced like hungry wolves upon receiving the command.
These women, all born into Xizhou’s noble households, were tender and pampered from childhood, delicate as the bud of a flower.
The air was filled with the sound of clothes being torn, and the helpless cries of the women were everywhere.
Elder Lin protected Lin Lingxiang, but he was knocked down by a punch from one of the Iron Armor Army.
Jie Chen shouted hoarsely in anger, “Assaulting women is not the act of a gentleman!”
He struggled, but was held down by four of the Iron Armor Army.
Supervisor Ke closed his eyes, unwilling to witness such a tragedy.
However, suddenly someone cried out in alarm, “They have a disease on them!”
The Iron Armor Army soldiers suddenly stopped in unison, seeing that all the women had black marks on their necks, arms, and thighs.
As if they had just contracted some skin disease.
A flash of astonishment crossed the Deputy General’s eyes, and as he turned to look at Xiang Ying, he saw her calmly moking them with a sneer.

His heart sounded alarm bells: “No good, stay away from them, this is the rat plague! The rat plague isn’t completely cured!”
This damned woman, Xiang Ying, hadn’t cured the plague as Jie Chen had claimed.
Thinking about it, it made sense – no one has ever heard of someone being able to cure the rat plague.
The women huddled together crying, clutching their clothing.
The Deputy General stepped forward angrily, intending to make things difficult for Xiang Ying.
But then he saw the bulging pack she was carrying on her back, as if it hid something.
The Deputy General reached out his hand: “Hand it over.”
Xiang Ying refused to comply, protecting her pack and coldly said, “This is my personal belonging.”
Seeing her ducking and dodging, the Deputy General became even more convinced that there was something extraordinary in there.
He raised his hand to snatch it away, getting into a scuffle with Xiang Ying.
Suddenly, Xiang Ying’s lips formed a cold smile.
“This is what you asked for. If anything happens, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
