Venomous Empress Reborn Chapter 431 - Attack of the Turks (5)

Chapter 431: Attack of the Turks (5)
Shen Miao looked at Luo Qian and was a little surprised. She did not expect to hear that from Luo Qian. The Luo family was indeed righteous and kind.
However, when she heard this from Luo Qian, she sighed in her heart. It was not that Luo Sui could not afford to lose this battle, but that he could not afford to lose his wife. No wonder when Shen Miao mentioned reorganizing the Luo army, Luo Sui’s expression instantly changed. Shen Miao’s words must have cut the general to the quick.
“But will Grandma be happy to see the Luo army collapse just like that?” Shen Miao suddenly said.
“Eh?” Luo Qian turned to look at her in confusion.
Shen Miao smiled. “If I love someone and he’s a hero, I will definitely want him to wear the sword that he deserves to wear, ride the fierce horse that he deserves to ride, and lead the bravest soldiers to obtain the achievements that are his to obtain. I don’t want him to be wronged. If Grandpa is wronged and Grandmother finds out, won’t her heart break? If it were me, my heart would break.”
Luo Qian was a little confused by Shen Miao’s words. The fact that Shen Miao talked about love openly and unrestrained shocked him a little. Madam Ma even said that Shen Miao was a girl from the capital and would definitely be shy easily. Now, it seemed that… she was not shy at all. She was probably even more open-minded than Luo Tan!
Just as he was thinking, he heard a servant shouting outside, “Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are back!”
Everyone looked at the door of the hall and saw Luo Ling and Luo Sa walking over. It was probably about to rain outside, so the air was a little humid. Their clothes were wet, and they looked a little travel-worn after coming back from the garrison.
Madam Yu first instructed the servant to pour tea for the two of them. Luo Sa drank it in one go. Luo Tan had already run up and asked Luo Ling, “Brother Ling, how is it outside?”
“It looks like there is going to be a hailstorm tonight. I’ve already asked the people to go back to prevent being injured by the hailstorm. Everything is ready outside.” Luo Ling smiled and replied, “Second Brother and I will stay here for the night. Our mansion is sturdy, so we don’t have to be afraid.”
“What happened to Father, Uncle, and Grandpa?” Luo Tan asked relentlessly.
Luo Sa frowned and said, “They’re not back yet.”
Luo Tan was about to say something when Luo Ling saw Luo Qian and Shen Miao walking over. He quickly said, “It’s fine. I think they’re probably a little busy tonight and will be back tomorrow.” He changed the topic. “It smells so good. Are we going to have hotpot mutton tonight? Cousin Miao hasn’t tried it before. I don’t know if she likes it.”
Shen Miao walked up to Luo Ling. Luo Ling was 18 years old this year. He was as handsome as Luo Lianying, but his personality was as gentle and considerate as Madam Yu’s. He was worlds apart from Luo Sa, who was violent and difficult to get along with. Shen Miao said, “Cousin Ling, has the army of the city guards been deployed?”
Luo Ling was stunned. He did not expect Shen Miao to ask this. He replied, “It’s all arranged.”
“How many people are guarding the city?” Shen Miao asked.
This time, Luo Sa’s gaze landed on Shen Miao.
When these juniors talked, Madam Yu and Madam Ma were far away. Luo Qian asked, “Little Cousin, why are you asking this? It’s going to hail tonight. Probably no one will enter the city.”
“Thirty on the west gate, thirty on the east gate, and ten on the north gate. That will be more than 70 people in total,” Luo Ling replied patiently.
