Chapter 433: He’s Dead (1)
Shen Miao was sipping her tea leisurely. At this moment, the wind was blowing outside, and she sat in a corner of the hall, holding the teacup that Jingzhe handed her. She looked really like an innocent young lady who was waiting for the mutton slices to be ready.
Luo Ling’s expression became a little serious. Luo Sa noticed that something was wrong with him and followed Luo Ling’s gaze to look at Shen Miao. His expression darkened as he asked, “What happened?”
Luo Ling ignored him. Instead, he stood up and walked up to Shen Miao. “Little cousin, let’s talk in private.”
“Cousin Ling, if you have anything to say, say it here.” Shen Miao put the teacup aside and smiled at him. “If anything really happens, you won’t be able to hide it.”
Seeing this, Luo Qian and Luo Tan walked over. This time, the commotion was a little loud, and Madam Ma and Madam Yu noticed it. They thought that there was an argument between Shen Miao and Luo Ling. At this moment, they naturally had to side with girls. Madam Yu immediately walked over and glanced at Luo Ling. She shook her head in disapproval and said, “Ling, don’t scare Jiaojiao.”
Luo Sa sneered and said, “Who’s scaring who?”
“Brother, what exactly happened?” Luo Qian asked without thinking.
Luo Ling looked at Shen Miao. Shen Miao smiled at him, as if she knew what he was going to say next. That calmness made Luo Ling slightly stunned. A moment later, he sighed and said helplessly, “There’s news from the city guards that the Turks… seem to be entering the city.”
“What?” Luo Tan exclaimed. Then, she realized that her voice was a little loud and covered her mouth. The maids and servants were far away, so they did not hear the conversation clearly. However, the most taboo thing in this world was to have the morale of the army waver. At this moment, everyone was gathered here to avoid the hail. If others found out that the Turks had entered, they would probably panic.
Madam Yu and Madam Ma were both from ordinary families and did not have a tactical mind. When Madam Ma heard this, she immediately said in panic, “Ling, Sa, shouldn’t we get someone to protect Jiaojiao and the others first? How long can we last? When will your father and the others come back?”
Even the smartest and most capable woman at home couldn’t help but panic when faced with such a situation. As for Madam Yu, she was even more at a loss. She subconsciously suggested, “Why don’t we hide somewhere first?”
Luo Tan and Luo Qian’s faces were a little pale. They had lived in Spring City since they were born. Although they had heard Luo Sui tell stories about the battlefield in the past, they felt that those were things that were very far away from them. The Turks had never entered the city, but what would happen after they entered the city was often mentioned in the books. Even if Ming Qi’s own soldiers took down a city, there would be times when they slaughtered the entire city, let alone the Turks.
“Little Cousin… was actually right…” Luo Qian muttered.
Madam Ma and Madam Yu were stunned. Madam Yu looked at Shen Miao. “Jiaojiao… was right?”
“Cousin Miao said before that the Turks might attack the city.” Luo Ling looked at Shen Miao, and an inexplicable glint flashed across his eyes. “You must have a countermeasure too. If you don’t mind, please tell us. Now is a time of life and death.”
