She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 134 - : Sheep Leading Ceremony?

Supervisor Ke pursed his lips: “That can’t really be blamed on her, we were stationed here precisely because we saw there was a water source.”

Zhao Yushi did not expect that, although Supervisor Ke seemed dissatisfied with Xiang Ying on usual days, when actually asked to punish her, he was unwilling to say yes to anything.

He was even making excuses for Xiang Ying!

How spineless, Zhao Yushi cursed in her heart.

At this time, Xiang Qianqian approached with a gentle and frail figure.

“Supervisor,” she curtsied, her voice soft, “the City Garrison Commander has heard that Zhao Family’s younger sister possesses skills in treating diarrhea, thus he has sent people to invite her into the city.”

Zhao Yushi took the opportunity to force the issue, determined to push Supervisor Ke.

“Did you hear that, Supervisor? Now the Lord Garrison Commander also awaits my medical treatment. If I get sick because of Xiang Ying and her group having such serious illnesses, how will that be explained later?”

Supervisor Ke knitted his brows tightly, still not relenting.

Seeing this, Xiang Qianqian took two steps forward: “Supervisor, I think what Zhao Family’s younger sister said is reasonable, moreover, relocating Elder Sister and the others elsewhere temporarily isn’t actually harming them.”

“On the contrary, this is to protect them. Once we have cured our soldiers here, then we will have the resources to take care of them. Don’t you agree, Supervisor?”

Supervisor Ke listened and nodded slightly: “Alright, but considering Xiang Ying is a prisoner, I can’t send her too far away.”

If she were to escape, who could he explain it to? When Jie Chen returns, he would tear him to shreds.

Xiang Qianqian, as if deep in thought, came up with an idea.

“Why not drive them to the hillside in the north? This way they are not too far, and the Supervisor can arrange for someone to patrol daily.”

“The northern hillside?” Supervisor Ke recalled, “Isn’t that just an abandoned sheepfold over there?”

Xiang Qianqian smiled: “Exactly, why does the Supervisor hesitate, surely you don’t think that by doing so, you’re demeaning her?”

Zhao Yushi off to the side spoke in a mocking tone: “Xiang Ying is, after all, a female prisoner.”

Supervisor Ke gave her a look.

He was tempted to remind Zhao Yushi that she herself was also a female prisoner, and not much better than Xiang Ying.

Then another soldier came to report that the City Garrison Commander’s envoy was urging them again.

“The Lord Garrison Commander is seriously sick, desperately waiting for Zhao Family’s younger sister to save his life. Supervisor, please make a decision quickly,” urged Xiang Qianqian.

Thinking of Jie Chen entrusting the troop to him, Supervisor Ke could only clench his teeth and nod: “Alright!”

He summoned a soldier: “Tell Xiang Ying to take fifty water bandits and move to set up camp on the hillside to the north.”

“Arrange another team of soldiers to watch over them, and ensure they don’t stray too far.”

Zhao Yushi and Xiang Qianqian exchanged glances, both stifling their laughter.

The news reached Xiang Ying’s ears.

Squatting beside her and drinking water, several water bandits almost smashed the pot.

“You’ve made enough fuss. Do you really not treat us as humans?”

“When the sheep pen from the north side came into view, the Vice General had already inspected there. He said it’s completely unsuitable to station there—it’s all sheep dung and stones. You expect us to sleep on that?”

The water bandits, one by one, started pushing and shoving the soldier who came to relay the message.

Of course, the Nanyue soldiers wouldn’t humor them.

They immediately drew their swords to threaten: “This is Supervisor Ke’s orders. You bunch of prisoners still dare to be defiant?”

Lu Feiyi’s eyes darkened as he remained silent, glancing at Xiang Ying from the corner of his eye.

Only to see Xiang Ying still gleefully skewering meat; only after she finished the last bite did she pat her hands and stand up.

“Let’s go, pack up, we’re moving up there.”

Several water bandits were stunned: “Boss, are we really listening to them? That North Hillside is impossible to tread on.”

“Yeah boss, and living in a sheep pen, isn’t that treating us like livestock?”

Xiang Ying didn’t speak; Lu Feiyi stood up directly: “Quit your yapping. Do as the boss instructed, pack up, if any brothers can’t move, we’ll carry them.”

In no time, the Nanyue soldiers witnessed Xiang Ying and their group carrying their bedrolls, heading towards the northern hillside.

The three little ones were being led by Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi, following behind Xiang Ying.

Xiang Xiuxiu curiously asked: “Why are we being moved? Why aren’t they moving?”

Tao Xue huffed angrily: “These people are too sinister, afraid that we will spread the diarrhea to them. Wait until the Vice General returns, they’ll get what’s coming to them!”

Lady Shu and Empress, along with several Concubines and Commandery Princesses, were standing by the road, watching Xiang Ying move away.

Lady Shu purposefully raised her voice: “Qianqian, there exists a kind of punishment in this world that’s the most humiliating, called the sheep leading ceremony.”

“It demands captives to be bare-chested, draped in sheepskin, with a rope around their necks, led by others like sheep, symbolizing the surrenderers to be butchered at will.”

“And the first step of the sheep leading ceremony is to put the criminals into the sheep pen. Ah, now that the elder princess is going there, wouldn’t it be equivalent to being humiliated at will?”

Xiang Qianqian glanced at Xiang Ying, with a tone of pity: “Mother, don’t say that… Big sister is forced into this.”

She hoped to see any look of sadness or fear on Xiang Ying’s face.

However, Xiang Ying just passed by in front of her, as if not hearing a word they said, completely ignoring them.

Not until she walked far away did Lady Shu exclaim in surprise: “Something is not right. Is she still the elder princess I know? She’s bearing so much.”

Previously, a slight provocation was enough to set Xiang Ying off into a big argument with the Empress.

Driving a wedge between mother and daughter was one of Lady Shu’s favorite pastimes.

Yet unexpectedly, the current Xiang Ying seemed to have changed; a few provocative words were no longer able to provoke her.

Xiang Qianqian huffed lightly: “Mother, perhaps she is just holding back. Maybe she also knows that the Vice General is not around, and no one has got her back, so she dares not cause trouble.”

Right after saying that, Xiang Qianqian turned her head only to discover that many of the female prisoners were packing their bedrolls, ready to leave.

Xiang Qianqian stopped the Seventh Princess, Xiang Rongrong, in her tracks.

“Seventh sister? You’re also going to stay in the sheep pen with big sister?”

“Wherever big sister goes, I will follow,” Xiang Rongrong pushed her aside, “Don’t block the way!”

It wasn’t just her. Even the families of the supervisors from the Imperial College, Mr. Chu, and the family of Elder Lin from Qintianjian, were also following Xiang Ying.

Xiang Qianqian was surprised: “You all…”

Lady Shu sneered coldly: “Let them go, the sheep pen reeks to high heaven, it’s no place for humans to live. If they wish to disgrace themselves, why should we care?”

Soon after, when Supervisor Ke came around for inspection again, he discovered out of the three hundred people from the Exile Team, there were over a hundred people who voluntarily followed Xiang Ying.

As Xiang Ying arrived at the sheep pen, she looked at the scene in front of her.

She couldn’t help but click her tongue.

The environment was slightly better than she had imagined.
