Sikongji and Ming Ruoxie also heard Xiao Zhaoxue¡¯s cry from the carriage in front.
Xia Xuanqi¡¯s carriage was at the front, and Xiao Zhaoxue was leading the way.
"If something happens to Mr. Xiao, Miss Xiao will be very sad." Ming Ruoxie sighed softly. She had already smelled the strong smell of blood. The smell of blood was so strong, there must have been a fierce battle at the city gate, and there were many casualties.
Let¡¯s not mention that Hansai City is now Ming Ruoxie¡¯s fiefdom. Let¡¯s just say that their goal is the whole of Dazhen. So Hansai City is naturally what they value. If the water bandits are not cured, Hansai City will not get better.
"It's not just water bandits, have you seen it all the way here? The water level of this big river is very high. I heard that it rained heavily for a month, which is very rare in the cold weather. During the Chinese New Year period, if It¡¯s okay to have lingering winter rain, and I¡¯m not afraid of light rain, but I¡¯m afraid there will be another series of winter thunderstorms and heavy rain, so the water level of this big river will be dangerous.¡±
The problems Sikongji sees will be more practical and far-reaching.
Ming Ruoxie followed his gaze and asked, "You mean this place will be flooded?"
"No," Sikong Ji shook his head, "The water embankment here is quite high, and there is more sea in the east. The water can enter the sea. The flood should not flood the city. I mean, where are the water bandits living? That could be dangerous."
It was only then that Ming Ruoxie realized what he was worried about, "Will they take the risk and try to capture Hansai City?"
"This possibility is not impossible."
The water bandits have been wreaking havoc in Hansai City for so many years. They may have already regarded Hansai City as theirs. However, when they invaded Hansai City in the past, they encountered fierce resistance. They will not be able to do so for a while. Take it down.
If they can still survive at sea, they may not be so anxious and just want to invade and plunder again and again. But if the water is in danger and it is difficult to survive at sea, how can they still be willing to stay at sea and drift if they can dock?
Therefore, if the waves on the sea really make it impossible for them to stay, they will make a desperate move to attack Hansai City.
"Let's talk about it first in the city."
Their carriage was stopped by someone before it reached the city gate.
"Who is it? Stop the car!"
"Stay there, don't move!"
Several young men wearing Dazhen soldier uniforms quickly ran out of the city gate. Yes, young men. They all had immature faces and thin bodies. They looked like they were only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Six people ran out, all six of them were teenagers like this, two of them even looked to be about ten years old.
Ming Ruoxie and Sikongji both felt their hearts suddenly become heavy. Is there no one in Hansai City? Do you still need such young children to guard the city gate? !
Those teenagers looked wary and could not conceal their fear, but they still rushed out, holding long knives in their hands. Some of the knives were still stained with blood. It seemed that they should have participated in the previous bloody battle.
"It's me, I'm Xiao San!" Xiao Zhaoxue immediately stood up in the carriage and shouted loudly. She recognized one of the boys and called out his name, "Xiao Jian, it's me. !¡±
The boy named Xiaojian is the youngest one. He has a thin face and small eyes. His eyes are red and swollen. I don¡¯t know if he cried a lot before.
Xiao Jian calmed down and recognized Xiao Zhaoxue. He was surprised and happy, and then shouted loudly, "Sister Zhaoxue, you are not dead!"
Although the situation was a bit serious, Xiao Zhaoxue's face couldn't help but darken when she heard Xiao Jian shouting such words, and she cursed, "How did you talk, you brat? Why should I die!"
"But the second young master said you are already dead!"
"My second brother? He's back, right?" Xiao Zhaoxue subconsciously looked back at the carriage following behind, "How could he say I'm dead?"
This was shocking news to Xiao Zhaoxue. Xiao Jian had no reason to lie to her about such a thing, but why did her second brother say that she was dead for no reason?
Ming Ruoxie has also leaned out of the carriage, "What happened here before?"
" And Xiao Zhaoxue's second brother said that she was dead. It was possible. If he hadn't thought she was dead, he wouldn't have run back alone and never went back to look for her.
But this matter can wait until the Xiao family asks more about it.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Jian and the others looked at Ming Ruoxie with their eyes widened. It was really rare for them to have such a beautiful woman here. Everyone knew about Hansai City.It's dangerous. From time to time, water bandits may come to plunder. They not only plunder property, but also rob people if they like women.
Therefore, such a beautiful woman would never dare to come to Hansai City. Even the girls in their city who have the ability have moved away, and the rest are those who have no ability to leave their hometown, or like Xiao Zhao Snow stayed like this for other reasons.
Now that they suddenly saw such a bright and beautiful girl like Ming Ruoxie, they were really shocked.
"They are my guests!" Xiao Zhaoxue said quickly.
This was what they had agreed upon before. Regardless of whether anyone recognized their identities at first, they would tell the public that they were her guests first, and there would be no need to announce their identities as soon as they arrived, causing too much noise. As for those who should have recognized them, they probably could only remember them after receiving news from outside. There should be no one in Hansai City who had seen them.
Even Sikong Ji has never been to Hansai City.
"Sister Zhaoxue, why did you bring someone back to the city!" Xiao Jian looked at Ming Ruoxie and couldn't help but worry about her safety. He was also surprised that someone like Xiao Zhaoxue, who was familiar with the situation in the city, would bring such a guest back. .
"Answer first, what happened here before?"
"The water thieves from Shuinan came again. This time they came with a lot of people and attacked fiercely. In the past, they only wanted to rush into the city and plunder property. This time they wanted to defend the city. All the soldiers have been killed, and it looks like they are trying to capture the city gate!"
Xiao Jian and the others spoke with fear on their faces, "Everyone resisted desperately and finally forced them back. However, eleven people on our side were killed and injured. Now the city gate has not had time to wash away."
"Where is my eldest brother?" Xiao Zhaoxue asked anxiously.
"Young Master, he¡ª¡ª" Xiao Jian's eyes were red again, "He was seriously injured and did not wake up, so he was carried back to the Xiao Mansion."
Xiao Zhaoxue swayed and almost fell off the carriage. Fortunately, it was Xia Xuanqi who supported her.
Xia Xuanqi appeared wearing a curtain hat, which made Xiao Jian and the others a little nervous, because looking at his figure and aura, even if he didn't show his face, he looked very stressed.
"Third Miss, please go back quickly, Mr. Xiao is about to die!" Another young man next to him shouted, "The second young master also rushed back after receiving this letter, right?"
¡°My dad¡ª¡ª¡± Xiao Zhaoxue grabbed Xia Xuanqi¡¯s hand, ¡°Use Qinggong to take me home quickly!¡±
She can't wait. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
