As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 415 Xie Changqing, Paper Tiger
The Molan people's black dragon boat left, and the woman was left behind, just outside the city gate near the coast.

This was the reward that Xie Changqing heard as soon as he sat down after finishing his work.

With lunch in his hand, Xie Changqing's appetite disappeared rapidly.

The soldiers who came to report were so frozen by the cold breath on his body that they dared not breathe.

After a while, Xie Changqing put down the bowl with a clang, "What is she doing?"

"I didn't do anything. I just stood outside the city gate... I must have been tired after standing for a while, so I sat down and leaned against the city wall... The Molan people's ship has gone far."

And this so-called Princess Molan, a former prostitute in Yaocheng, clearly had no intention of leaving, so she ended up here inexplicably.

Now many soldiers in the camp have heard about this incident, and secretly guessed that the princess was fascinated by their general, so she was determined to follow the general for the rest of her life.

But Xie Changqing looked down on her.

This is also normal.

Although Xie Changqing is based in Yaocheng, he is the second son of Duke Liang. Now that Duke Liang's daughter has been married to the emperor's eldest grandson, Xie Changqing's status has risen, and his future is even brighter.

Even if that woman is the princess of Molan, she is just from a small tribe in a foreign country.

If you say she is beautiful, she is indeed beautiful, but Da Qin has a vast territory and there are countless beautiful women.

Xie Changqing had been in this bitter cold place in Yaocheng for a long time. It was rare to see a beautiful woman, so he became interested in her for three days. If he said he was attracted to her, there was no chance.

Xie Changqing sneered: "Don't worry about her."

He knew what she wanted to do.

But why should he be her tool to protect her homeland?

……

Shallan leaned against the wall.

The adobe wall was very thick and very cold. After leaning against it for a while, Shalan couldn't stand it anymore.

Time passed little by little. She didn't drink water or eat anything all day long. Her lower abdominal cramps were so severe that she couldn't help but put her hand on her lower abdomen.

This is something she does a lot lately.

She looked at the setting sun and frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

This man is so cruel and heartless.

Shalan leaned against the city wall for a while. She felt very uncomfortable and her stomach was sour. Unable to bear it, Shalan threw herself aside and vomited.

But I didn't eat anything yesterday, and today I was on an empty stomach again, so I couldn't vomit anything at all.

She wiped the filth from her mouth with the hem of her skirt, knowing that she couldn't go on like this, as it would not move the man's heart at all.

She took a deep breath, stood up holding the adobe on the ground, looked up at the soldiers on the tower and said, "Go tell him that I am pregnant."

It seems that now she has no other option but this.

She didn't think she could ask him to let her in softly just by waiting outside the city.

Maybe he won't let go until he dies.

And she is really uncomfortable now and can't hold on any longer.

The soldiers upstairs were dumbfounded. After looking at each other for a moment, someone quickly came down from the tower.

About a quarter of an hour later, a series of sounds of horse hooves came from the city gate, and then the city gate creaked open from the inside, and countless dust flew up.

Shalan stood in front of the city gate. Although her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly, she stood stubbornly and stared at the face of the horse rider at the front, Xie Changqing.

Xie Changqing also stared at her: "Say it again."

"I'm pregnant." Shalan put her hand on her belly, "Yours."

"You should have taken medicine every time you came back to your yard. Why are you still pregnant?"

Shalan said: "I didn't drink it." Indeed, someone prepared the soup every time.

But when she was a child, the doctor's mother told her that she would not have children, and the soup was extremely bitter, so she did not drink it.

Xie Changqing narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "So what? I don't like children. Even if I want one someday, someone else will have one for me."

"But this child is yours, you have to be responsible for me and him!"

Xie Changqing sneered, "After staying in the camp for a few days, you have also learned the tricks of our Qin people... Have you forgotten your previous status in Yaocheng?"

Without waiting for Sha Lan to respond, Xie Changqing said: "You were once a bought slave and a camp prostitute in Yao City. No one needs to be responsible for the camp prostitute's pregnancy."

Shalan pursed her lips slightly and stared into Xie Changqing's cold and ruthless eyes, "So that's it."

After saying this, Shalan slowly approached and stopped in front of Xie Changqing's horse, "If you don't want it, then I don't want it either."

Just when Xie Changqing narrowed his eyes and wondered what she wanted to do, Sha Lan suddenly pulled out the dagger from Xie Changqing's boot and stabbed her in the stomach.

Xie Changqing's expression changed drastically and he kicked the dagger away.

Sha Lan threw herself in front of Xie Changqing's horse due to inertia, and her repeated movements shocked his mount. The horse stood upright. Before almost trampling on Sha Lan, Xie Changqing pulled the reins of the horse and narrowly avoided it to one side.

Shalan's face was pale and she closed her eyes, with a faint look of pain on her face, but her heart was full of pride.

Really cold and heartless, really ignoring her and not caring at all, not saying a word, and just watching with cold eyes whether she was dead or alive.

After all, he is not afraid of the small island country of Molan.

And he was afraid that she would get hurt and that she would die.

He was a paper tiger to her.

She took a gamble and won, so she could continue gambling.

Driven by one part intention and one part exhaustion, Shalan drooped her eyelids and passed out in front of Xie Changqing's horse.

Xie Changqing tightened his grip on the horse's reins and glared at the woman lying on the ground with a livid face. He really wanted to throw her into the sea immediately and tell her to go far away, out of sight and out of mind.

But after staring like this for a long time, he couldn't give that order after all.

Xie Changqing pulled the reins of his horse and went back.

The few soldiers and lieutenants left behind were speechless to each other.

Someone hesitated and asked: "What should I do? Close the city gate and throw her outside?"

"No, I'm afraid something might happen outside at night."

"Then let her be brought into the city? The general didn't say that she could be brought into the city -"

The eyes of several people met for a long time, and an older deputy general muttered: "The general didn't say to throw her out, which means he tacitly allowed her to stay. You also heard that she is pregnant with the general's... child..."

The deputy general was silent for a while and then said: "We can't just ignore it."

The rest of the soldiers and lieutenants also nodded one after another.

The general is no longer young. He has no wife, concubines, and children. Now he barely has something, so he can't pretend that he doesn't know.

Besides, it was not like Xie Changqing had never called women from the camp to serve him before, but those women had just passed it by. Only this foreign woman in front of him, Xie Changqing had a completely different attitude towards her.

Everyone was silent for a moment and ordered people to take Shalan back.

But now that her status is neither high nor low, she cannot be thrown into a camp prostitute's residence, nor can she be settled in Xie Changqing's yard.

The older deputy general arranged her next to the courtyard where Xie Zhaozhao originally lived. He also asked the medical officer to help take a look at her and found two honest middle-aged women to take care of her.

Xie Changqing paid no attention to these matters and turned a blind eye.

Shalan just stayed in the Yaocheng military camp.
