Chapter 40: She's Here Too
I don't know if I was chewing on my sister's words, or if I was scared silly.
Li Chengqian was not scared to cry as Hou Junji imagined.
I wasn't scared to hide behind an adult.
He just stood quietly in front of the fence and watched quietly as the soldiers carried the wounded and disposed of the corpses.
The moonlight fell and sprinkled on Li Chengqian's small body.
Li Chengqian in Hou Junji's eyes, his image also changed suddenly.
Suddenly, it was the image of Li Chengqian's child, and suddenly it became a heroic image like Li Shimin.
Gradually, even Hou Junji himself couldn't tell who was standing in front of him.
Hou Junji scratched his head, and said secretly in his heart: "It is worthy of being father and son, it is really too similar." ”
Thinking of this, Hou Junji smiled slightly, turned around and instructed the soldiers below to continue to clear the remnants of those water thieves.
……
Li Chengqian didn't know that Hou Junji almost took himself for Li Shimin.
He was just thinking now that in such an era, human life was really not valuable.
In such a war, which was not a war, the Qianzi battalion killed two people and wounded more than 20 people, and nearly 50 water thieves were killed and wounded.
More than 50 lives were lost in an instant.
It's so fast that you don't even have time to react, and no one even knows their names.
Perhaps, in a few years, no one will know that they have been in this world except their relatives......
Li Chengqian suddenly became a little confused.
What did you come to this world for?
Is it just for eating, drinking, and having fun......
"Help!"
At this moment, a short cry for help interrupted Li Chengqian's train of thought.
Li Chengqian hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a small figure on the water.
Someone drowned.
"Someone is drowning!"
Li Chengqian shouted.
Several soldiers of the Qianzi battalion hurriedly came over to inquire.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Someone is drowning."
Li Chengqian pointed in the direction of the figure and said, "If you know how to swim, hurry over and save people." ”
Not to mention that they can swim, even if they can't swim, at this time, Li Chengqian said a word, they have to go into the water to save people.
A few soldiers of the Qianzi battalion were also fast, jumped directly into the water, and swam towards the figure.
It didn't take long for the man to be pulled onto the deck by a few soldiers.
Li Chengqian hurriedly went up to see that it was a woman.
Carefully identified, he actually knew this woman.
"Sister Purple Peach?"
This person is not someone else, it is Lu Wanjie's personal maid, Zi Tao.
When Li Chengqian helped Li Chongyi pursue Lu Wanjie, he ran over and deceived Zi Tao away.
Zi Tao looked up at Li Chengqian, and it took a while to react: "Your Highness, Your Highness?" ”
"It's me."
"Why are you here?"
Li Chengqian's head was full of inexplicability.
Isn't she supposed to be in Chang'an City, why did she come to the south?
"Your Highness, don't ask yet, Miss Soon, Miss is still in the water."
"Miss?"
"Sister Wanjie is here too?"
"We were together just now, but I fell off the board, and she didn't know where she had gone."
Zi Tao cried urgently, and kowtowed to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, you should let someone save her......"
Li Chengqian hurriedly held her up, and then said, "You guys, hurry up and row a boat to the river to find someone." ”
Just as a few people were about to leave, Li Chengqian hurriedly advised: "If you find it, don't shout, save it first." ”
After several people looked at each other, they nodded, then took out the boat from the big boat and threw it into the river, and then carried the lantern along the river and began to look for Lu Wanjie's figure.
Seeing that Zi Tao was still crying, Li Chengqian comforted: "Sister Zi Tao, don't worry about it first. ”
"She shouldn't have drifted far yet, it won't take long to find her, besides, the water thieves in this area have been eliminated by us, and there will be no danger on the river."
Zi Tao glanced at Li Chengqian, although her heart was a little calm, she still couldn't stop sobbing.
……
Jiangzhong.
Lu Wanjie clutched the floating board under her body.
She originally followed her grandmother to Suzhou Province, but she met water thieves.
She could have escaped in a boat with her grandmother, but was pulled off the boat by a mad maid and nearly drowned.
If Zi Tao hadn't saved her, she would have drowned.
But Zi Tao fell into the water in order to get her on the plank.
She wanted to save Zi Tao, but because she couldn't pass through water, the more she struggled, the farther the plank floated.
Because the river was too dark, she didn't see Zi Tao being rescued by Li Chengqian's people.
She only felt that she had killed Zi Peach, who also didn't know water.
Looking at the dark river, panic was written on her face.
Knowing that there were water thieves in the water, she didn't dare to shout for help, only staring at the darkness with frightened eyes.
In her heart, she was so nervous that she didn't know what was waiting for her in front of her.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of paddling in the dark.
"His grandmother's, where did these soldiers come from, could it be that they are heavenly soldiers?"
"That is, if they hadn't suddenly killed, we wouldn't have lost such a brother."
"You two just don't say a word, it's a big fate for us to escape, now let's run while it's dark, if we are bumped into by those soldiers, we will all die."
Water Thieves!
These two words suddenly popped up in Lu Wanjie's mind.
How did the water thieves end up here?
And listening to this meaning, they have met soldiers, and they have suffered a lot of losses.
What's going on?
Before she could figure it out, in the dim night, Lu Wanjie vaguely saw several shadows shaking not far in front of her.
They didn't light the lanterns, they just took advantage of the night.
Lu Wanjie held her breath, hoping that they wouldn't find out.
Unfortunately, the sky was not beautiful, and the moon that had just been hidden in the clouds suddenly appeared.
Lu Wanjie was taken aback, and the few water thieves who escaped in a small boat were also taken aback.
The water thieves were afraid of being overtaken, so they looked back.
As a result, it didn't matter if I looked at it, and I saw a wooden plank floating not far behind me.
And on this plank sat a little girl with a graceful figure.
"Big brother, look!"
The water thief hurriedly reminded him.
The water thieves in front also hurriedly turned around, and saw Lu Wanjie looking at them with a panicked face.
"Damn, God is not thin on us, and he sent us a little lady."
"Hurry up and catch her, if it's a girl from a big family, a few of us will make a lot of money."
"Even if it's not from a big family, our brothers can be happy and happy."
Hearing this, Lu Wanjie's face turned pale.
On the plank, he hurriedly turned around and used his hand as an oar to quickly slide the water.
But with her little strength, where can she hold such a large plank?
Seeing the two parties getting closer and closer.
"Little lady, don't run, you can't run."
One of the water thieves saw that he was about to succeed, and he had an extremely lewd smile on his face.
At this moment, Lu Wanjie was teary-eyed.
glanced at each other, and then at the river......
It is better to die than to be insulted by them.
Lu Wanjie put her arms hard, gritted her teeth and dived into the water.
