Chapter 17: Hunger and thirst

At night, in the military tent, Situ Jing and Shui Ling'er sat on the big seats at the front, and a beautiful man wore a general's uniform to salute them, and he said, "The subordinate name Shui has no trace, and the rank is a general."

It was the first time Shui Ling'er had seen such a beautiful man, and she couldn't help asking, "Are you really a man?" Such a beautiful face should be a woman.

Shui Wuxian said calmly, "Yes." For King Jing's abrupt question, he disdains him in his heart.

Fang Yu was worried that Shui Ling'er would ask some strange questions again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "King Jing, Shui Wuxian has only been in the army for half a year, and when he fought against the State of Chu a few days ago, he killed hundreds of people and performed well, so he was promoted to a partial general, such a talent, his subordinates arranged for him to be the princess's entourage." Of course, this is also what Situ Jing meant, but it is just to let Shui Ling'er meet him, so that he will not be weird.

Shui Ling'er didn't understand the system in the army, and after seeing Situ Jing next to her and nodding to her, she said, "Okay."

Shui Wuxian said respectfully, "My subordinates will definitely do their best to protect the princess."

Situ Jing said to Fang Yu, "Fang Yu, it's not early, send King Jing back to sleep in the tent."

"Yes." Fang Yu walked up to Shui Ling'er and said, "King Jing, please."

When Shui Ling'er was still confused, Situ Jing whispered, "You go to sleep first, and I'll go when I wait."

Although Shui Ling'er didn't understand, Situ Jing had already spoken, so she had no choice but to go out behind Fang Yu.

Only Situ Jing and Shui Wuxian were left in the tent, and Shui Wuxian said, "Princess, if there is nothing else, my subordinates will retire first."

Situ Jing said lightly, "Wait, I have something to ask you." He stood up, hid his sword behind his back and walked towards Shui Wuji, and when he got close to Shui Wuji, he quickly pressed his sword against Shui Wuji's neck, and said sternly, "What is your purpose?"

Shui Wuxian stared at Situ Jing with a serious face, and said unhurriedly, "What is the princess talking about, my subordinates don't understand."

"The leader of the Black Plum Gang is inappropriate, come here to be a general, heh, it is rumored that the Black Plum Gang does not interfere in the affairs of the royal family, why did he come to approach King Jing this time?"

"I'm not here to get close to King Jing, but—" He looked at Situ Jing for a moment and said, "You."

Situ Jing was glad that she didn't exchange her body with Shui Ling'er, otherwise how could her three-legged cat's kung fu deal with the leader of the Black Plum Gang, and Shui had no trace.

The Black Plum Gang is the world's largest killer organization, with equal silver, there is no one who can't be killed, only people they don't kill, and they don't interfere in royal affairs.

Situ Jing said solemnly, "How can I let people spend a lot of money to kill me?" Shui Ling'er is just the leader of the Thief Immortal Gang in a small place, and if she wants to kill her, she can send a few people with strong martial arts, and there is no need to find the Heimei Gang to deal with it.

Shui Wuxian sneered and said, "Yes, I'm also curious, the customer's silver is dozens of times the value of your little thief immortal gang leader, it seems that this customer hates you to the extreme, I'm curious, so come and take a look."

Originally, when he sneaked into the barracks and saw him for the first time, he would definitely be able to kill him quickly with his martial arts and easily earn a lot of silver, but the more closely he looked at him, the more he felt that he looked like the mother in his memory, and he had to wonder, could it be that he was the sister he had been looking for for many years?

"You're going to kill me now?" With only the two of them, it was the best time to start, but he wouldn't let him succeed easily.

"No, it won't." If he really was his sister, he would have regretted it.

Situ Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

"I suddenly don't want to kill, it's so easy." Shui Wuxian said that it was easy, he first investigated his life experience, and if it was really his sister, he would take him to his father's grave to kneel and worship, so as to fulfill his father's last wish.

Situ Jing was skeptical of his words, and at first thought that Shui Wuji's target was King Jing, and Shui Ling'er used his body, Shui Ling'er, who didn't know martial arts, must be in danger, so he arranged Shui Wuxian to his side, so that he could easily keep an eye on him, but he didn't expect that his target was Shui Ling'er.

Situ Jing said sternly, "Keeping you by your side is just a scourge." With that, he quickly attacked him.

Shui Wuxian was surprised by Situ Jing's martial arts, he was even a step above him, although he was beaten back, he didn't fight back, after all, he treated him as a sister first.

His appearance and his eyes are very similar to the appearance of his mother when she was alive.

In the end, Shui Wuxian was knocked to the ground, Situ Jing's face was gloomy, and he said condescendingly: "I believe you, if you have bad intentions, you will be killed."

Shui Wuxian got up, lowered his head and sneered, knelt down and said respectfully, "Yes." This sister doesn't seem to get along.

Situ Jing dropped his sword and turned around and walked outside.

Outside, there is an endless starry sky and a bright moon hanging high.

Under the moon, Shui Ling'er and Fang Yu sat side by side, the reason was that Shui Ling'er couldn't sleep after tossing and turning on the bed, so she pulled Fang Yu to admire the moon.

Fang Yu couldn't refuse her, but he also knew that if Situ Jing saw them, there would be some misunderstanding, so he had already thought of a reason to deal with him in his mind.

Shui Ling'er said leisurely, "What kind of place is the imperial capital?" She has never been far away since she was a child, and she will go to the imperial capital soon, and she can't help but look forward to it.

The imperial capital is Situ Jing's hometown, and it is also where her mother's parents are.

Fang Yu looked up at the bright moon and said with a leisurely gaze: "The imperial capital is a prosperous place, the morning market is full of traffic, and the night market is full of people."

Shui Ling'er couldn't help but envy and said, "That must be very lively." In this small town, only during festivals, there is a lively market to have fun, and she wondered, "Why did Fang Yu and Brother Jing come here?" It's so remote here.

"There are too many disturbances in the imperial capital, and this place is much simpler, which is why King Jing and I are here." Since the defeat of King Wen, all the troubles in the imperial capital have been nothing more than gossip after a homely meal for them.

Shui Ling'er grew up in this simple place since she was a child, and she had never encountered any troubles, so she didn't understand the difference between what Fang Yu said, she turned her head and wanted to listen to Fang Yu say more about the imperial capital, but unexpectedly, a breeze blew, blowing small things into her eyes.

Shui Ling'er blinked uncomfortably a few times, but it didn't improve.

Seeing this, Fang Yu hurriedly leaned towards her and said softly, "I'll help you blow it." He hoped that King Jing would not see what they were doing at this time.

But it backfired, and Situ Jing's angry roar came from the side, "Fang Yu, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?" Fang Yu actually wanted to kiss Shui Ling'er and kiss his body.

Fang Yu hurriedly got up and explained, "King Jing, you misunderstood." As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled by Shui Ling'er's sleeve.

Shui Ling'er said coquettishly, "Fang Yu, hurry up." Her eyes ached.

Situ Jing said angrily, "Shui Ling'er, are you in such a hurry?" He had already come to her side, she even asked Fang Yu to hurry up in front of him, where did she put him?

Shui Ling'er said aggrievedly, "Can this not be in a hurry?" Her eyes hurt so much that tears flowed, and Brother Jing came to stir up the situation.

"You!" Situ Jing was so angry that he couldn't speak, he stepped forward and grabbed Shui Ling'er's collar, leaned over and kissed her lips, this matter was up to him, Fang Yu couldn't even think about it.

Shui Ling'er was stunned, she didn't expect Situ Jing to kiss her, and in front of Fang Yu, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly wanted to push him away, but he held the back of her head and couldn't break free.

After a while, Situ Jing let go of her, and he noticed that her eyes were red and swollen like eggs, tears flowed, and he choked up, "I'm in so much pain."

Situ Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed Shui Ling'er and went to the commander's tent, shouting at Fang Yu, "Go and call the military doctor!"

Half an hour later, the military doctor took out the sand in Shui Ling'er's eyes, but the redness and swelling of the eyes could not be eliminated for half a moment, so he could only rub the ointment to reduce the swelling.

Situ Jing knew the reason for the incident, and his cheeks immediately turned red like boiled shrimp, and he sternly said to the other party, "Don't tell anyone about tonight." He also kissed Shui Ling'er in front of Fang Yu, if it was passed out, some people would definitely misunderstand that he was hungry and thirsty.

Fang Yu said helplessly, "Yes." It's only because King Jing was so angry that things evolved like this.

The next day, as if nothing had happened, Situ Jing and Fang Yu were in the military and political tent to deal with official documents.

Fang Yu said to Situ Jing, "King Jing, do you think King Yu of Chu will send a letter of surrender or a letter of invitation to war?" It has been several days, and there is still no movement in the state of Chu.

Situ Jing looked at the official document and said flatly: "The strength of the Chu State is slightly inferior to ours, and this expedition is led by the unlearned and unskilled King Yu, just by holding the Xuanqing Sword, he instigated the army's heart to attack us, and now the Xuanqing Sword is in our hands, even if the King of Yu is brave and strategic, he will be advised by the strategists below to hand us the surrender and peace letter."

Fang Yu thought that Situ Jing was reasonable, and King Yu had to face other princes to get to the bottom of this defeat in front of the emperor of Chu, and the Chu State, which had not yet established a prince, was bound to be bloody, just like the Great Liang back then.

At this time, Ah Jiu walked in, saluted respectfully, and said, "King Jing, you must not be too intimate with Da Mao Ni, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

Ah Jiu's words made Situ Jing wonder, and before he could ask, Ah Jiu said again, "King Jing, that's all for the little words." With that, he turned and walked out.

Situ Jing looked at Fang Yu, and Fang Yu also shook his head in confusion.

After a moment, Shui Wuxian walked in, saluted respectfully, and said with a sneer: "I didn't expect the princess to be so bold and impressive."

Situ Jing frowned and said solemnly, "What do you mean by this?"

Shui Wuxian chuckled and said, "It is rumored outside that the princess is like a hungry wolf pounced on King Jing to a weak sheep, so that King Jing can't resist."

Situ Jing's cheeks instantly flushed, and he forcefully put the official document on the table, and said with a gloomy face, "Who is passing it on?"

"King Jing."

Situ Jing quickly rushed out of the military and political tent, cursing in his mouth, "Damn woman." It's just going to give him trouble.

Situ Jing found Shui Ling'er as fast as he could, Shui Ling'er turned his back to him and said to the three generals in front of him, "My princess just threw herself into my arms, and she was so reckless that her eyes were swollen, you see." Shui Ling'er approached the generals and asked them to take a closer look at the redness and swelling of her eyes.
