Chapter 99 -99 Run Fast, It’s a Hornets’ Nest
The moment her words fell, Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi, in perfect unison, called out to those around them: “Quick, jump in the water!”
After saying that, they led the way by holding the three little ones and plunged into the river behind them, submerging their entire bodies in the water.
At the same time, the Vice General had just unwrapped the package to find a wasp nest the size of a head.
He was taken aback and before he could throw it away, Xiang Ying cleaved the wasp nest in half with a sword.
Buzzing sounds filled the air, instantly enveloping the Vice General.
The soldiers of the Iron Armor Army immediately fell into disarray.
Xiang Ying did not have time to jump into the water; Jie Chen, breaking free from his restraints, threw himself over to protect her beneath him.
Supervisor Ke, who appeared out of nowhere, pounced on top of Jie Chen.
In this manner, one person shielded another, listening to the Vice General’s cries of agony now and then: “Quick, get the shield, ouch!”
At some point, the buzzing noise ceased.
Jie Chen then pushed Supervisor Ke away, and standing up again, he held Xiang Ying in his arms.
Supervisor Ke winced and yelped in pain, prompting Xiang Ying to take a glance at him.
His eyelids and lips were swollen from stings, and his arm was lined with welts.
Looking at Jie Chen, it seemed he had only one injury on the back of his hand.
Xiang Ying approached Supervisor Ke, asking with a smile, “Doesn’t feel good to be stung, does it?”
Supervisor Ke, honest as he was, shook his head and winced, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
“It hurts, it hurts so much,” he looked at Jie Chen, “now I’ve repaid what I owed you!”
Jie Chen just glanced at him: “You acted on your own initiative.”
Despite his words, he bore no resentment toward Supervisor Ke.
Xiang Ying took advantage of Supervisor Ke’s distraction, patting his shoulder comfortingly and swiftly administered an antivenom injection.
Being stung by wasps repeatedly could easily be fatal.
By this time, the Exiled Criminals hiding in the water had gradually followed ashore one after another.
Xiang Ying nodded to Qi Fengyi and Tao Xue, her eyes expressing admiration.
In fact, before they had even landed, she had already instructed Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi about this matter.
Xiang Ying was accustomed to having a backup plan: if the Vice General were to notice the walnut staining their skin, she would promptly smash the wasp nest.
She had told Tao Xue and the others to quickly jump into the water upon seeing her gesture of tossing the bundle.
Fortunately, none of the Exiled Criminals were injured.
Xiang Yuanshuo spat out the aquatic plant from his mouth: “No wonder I saw her cautiously wrapping something up; it turned out to be a wasp nest!”
He looked at Xiang Yuanlang: “Second brother, helping her obtain such a dangerous thing, you should’ve informed us earlier.”
Xiang Yuanlang wring the water from his clothes, calmly said: “It wasn’t me who got it. It’s so big, I was afraid, too.”
“Could it be she cut it down with her bare hands?” Xiang Yuanshuo was taken aback.
Xiang Xiuxiu clapped her little hands beside them: “Mother is the most formidable!”
At this moment, cries of alarm came from the Iron Armor Army.
“It’s not good, the Vice General has been stung into unconsciousness!”
Xiang Ying turned to look and saw that the Vice General, unable to avoid and closest to the nest, had been stung into a swollen mess.
Jie Chen wanted to go check on the situation, but was pulled back by Xiang Ying.
“Why bother with him? With so many wasp stings, if he’s unlucky, he might even die; you should take this chance to stabilize the military morale, and assume his position.”
Her Phoenix Eyes were sparkling, and Xiang Ying became particularly excited at the mention of seizing power and leading the troops.
However, Jie Chen merely looked at her with dark, thin eyes: “Now is not the right time.”
He said only this before going to check on the Vice General’s condition, finding it to be dire, and immediately ordered all the injured to be taken back to the camp for the Military Doctor to examine.
As for Xiang Ying and the others, Jie Chen arranged for them to temporarily stay at the foot of a temple, half a mountain away from the Iron Armor Army camp.
At night.
Jie Chen sent over cloth for tents, and Xiang Ying used it to set up a makeshift shelter.
Following her lead, the rest of the Exiled Criminals also constructed their own tents to rest in.
Inside the tent, Xiang Ying flopped onto the soft mattress, and despite not being deep in the mountains, she still placed Medicinal Herb at all four corners to keep away insects because it was still the heat of summer.
The rest of the women gradually stabilized from their startled state.
They didn’t know when, but they had a standard in their hearts; as long as Xiang Ying could still speak with a smile, then it definitely wasn’t anything serious.
Xiang Ying instructed Tao Xue to set up the pot, ready to make a pot of ham stew with wild mushrooms.
It was at this time that Jie Chen returned.
Xiang Ying lifted her eyes to look at him, and in the firelight, her Phoenix Eyes crinkled with a smile.
“How about it, is the Vice General dead?”
Jie Chen furrowed his brows: “No.”
Xiang Ying clicked her tongue, poking the fire with a stick twice: “He’s just lucky.”
Jie Chen pursed his lips, signaling Xiang Ying to talk aside.
The two went down the slope, where looking forward they could see the river water shimmering in the moonlight, and looking upward, the bustling Yuelao Temple.
However, due to the recent turmoil of war, everyone was still busy looking for new livelihoods, and there were very few people worshiping.
“Are you sure you won’t leave? The Vice General has just regained consciousness and has issued an order, he wants you dead.”
Xiang Ying laughed coldly: “Let him send men, and we’ll see who dies. This time it was hornets; I can’t guarantee what it will be next time.”
Jie Chen’s gaze was as dark as lacquer: “Aren’t you afraid of causing chaos?”

Xiang Ying didn’t answer him.
Because she wasn’t afraid at all, she couldn’t wait for everything to become more chaotic. If she were afraid, she wouldn’t have followed along with this Exile Team.
Xiang Ying, however, looked at Jie Chen with great interest: “I know you also have your own secrets. That day in the City Garrison Mansion of Yu City, I’m certain it was you.”
Jie Chen remained expressionless, his jawline taut: “You’re mistaken.”
Xiang Ying smiled: “Then why didn’t you ask me why I appeared in the City Garrison Mansion, and instead you flatly denied that I was mistaken?”
Jie Chen frowned sharply, suddenly raising his somewhat piercing gaze to her.
“Xiang Ying!” he spoke with a warning tone, as if to blame her for saying too much.
But Xiang Ying, with her arms folded and lips speaking in a light tone, said: “In fact, I know you certainly also dislike Nanyue’s brutal methods of killing anyone they see.”
“Jie Chen, whether you believe it or not, to some extent, we have the same goal.”
“So, if you want to rebel and lead this team on your own, I can help you.”
Her gaze shone brilliantly, twinkling resplendently.
Jie Chen, however, just let out a cold laugh briefly.
She knew what his goal was?
Jie Chen turned to leave: “I don’t need it. Let’s not mention that matter in Yu City ever again.”
Saying that, he departed. Xiang Ying asked from behind him, “That sting on your hand from the hornet, do you want me to take a look at it?”
“No need.” Jie Chen left with a flick of his sleeve.
“So, when do we go into the city to buy supplies?” Xiang Ying asked about what she was most concerned with.
Jie Chen’s voice came from afar: “Wait for my order.”
Xiang Ying revealed a smile, her tone obedient: “Okay, I will wait.”
As if.
If she waited, then she wouldn’t be Xiang Ying.
Xiang Ying observed that, because both the Vice General and Supervisor Ke were injured, tonight, the number of soldiers keeping watch over them had decreased.
There were only Skinny Monkey and Acid Scholar left as the main force, accompanied by the soldiers.
But to them, Xiang Ying had already become one of the team members, so they weren’t strictly guarded.
Even when having mushroom soup together at night, soldiers and Exiled Criminals sat together, clearly no longer the oppressive relationship as before.
The night was deepening, and seeing that Jie Chen hadn’t returned, he must still be with the Vice General.
She quietly stood up, using her exceptional agility to climb out of the tent and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
However, her target wasn’t the large granary in the city.
Instead, she headed straight for the back of half a mountain, where the Vice General’s large camp was stationed.
That’s right, she had her eyes on their food supplies, their fat horses, and the gold and silver jewelry they had gathered along the way.
Since the Vice General was still alive, Xiang Ying decided to give him another heavy blow.
