Chapter 40: She is here too(1/2)
I don’t know if I was chewing on my sister’s words or being scared to death.
Li Chengqian was not scared to tears as Hou Junji imagined.
He was not so scared that he hid behind an adult.
He just stood quietly in front of the fence, quietly watching the soldiers transporting the wounded and dealing with the bodies.
The moonlight shone on Li Chengqian's small body.
The image of Li Chengqian in Hou Junji's eyes suddenly changed.
Suddenly, it was the image of Li Chengqian's child, and suddenly it became the image of Li Shimin as heroic.
Gradually, even Hou Junji himself couldn't tell who was standing in front of him.
Hou Junji scratched his head and said to himself: "It's worthy of being a father and son, it's really alike."
Thinking of this, Hou Junji smiled slightly and turned around to command the soldiers below to continue to clear out the remnants of the thieves.
...
Li Chengqian didn't know that Hou Junji almost regarded himself as Li Shimin.
He is just thinking now that in such an era, human life is really worthless.
In such a war that was not considered war, two people were killed in Ganzi Camp, injured more than 20 people, and nearly fifty people were killed or injured in the water thief.
More than fifty lives were gone in this instant.
It was so fast that people couldn't react, and no one even knew their names.
Perhaps, in a few years, no one except their relatives will know that they have been to this world...
Li Chengqian suddenly became a little confused.
What is the purpose of coming to this world by yourself?
Is it just for food, drink and have fun...
"Help!"
At this moment, a short cry for help interrupted Li Chengqian's thoughts.
Li Chengqian hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came, and only saw a small figure rising and falling on the water.
Someone drowned.
"Someone drowned!"
Li Chengqian shouted.
Several soldiers from Ganzi battalion around him hurried over to inquire.
"Your Highness
,What's wrong?"
“Someone drowned.”
Li Chengqian pointed to the figure and said, "Those who know how to swim quickly go and save people."
Don’t say that they can swim, even if they can’t swim, at this time, Li Chengqian said, they would have to go into the water to save people.
Several soldiers from Ganzi Camp also had a fast speed and jumped into the water and swam towards the figure.
Not long after, the man was pulled onto the deck by several soldiers.
Li Chengqian hurriedly went up and saw that it turned out to be a woman.
After careful identification, he actually knew this woman.
"Sister Zi Tao?"
This person is not someone else, but 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 after a while he realized: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"It's me."
"Why are you here?"
Li Chengqian's head was full of inexplicableness.
Shouldn't she be in Chang'an City? Why did she come to the south?
"Your Highness, please don't ask. Save the lady, the lady is still in the water."
"Miss?"
"Sister Wanjie is here too?"
"We were still together just now, but I fell off the floating board, and she didn't know where she had floated."
Zi Tao cried anxiously and kept kowtowing to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, please let someone go and save her..."
Li Chengqian hurriedly supported her and then said, "You guys, hurry up and row the boat to the river to find someone."
Just as the few people were about to leave, Li Chengqian hurriedly reminded: "If you find it, don't yell, save it first."
After looking at each other, several people nodded, then took the boat out of the big boat and threw it into the river, and then carried the lantern along the way.
The river began to look for Lu Wanjie's figure.
Seeing that Zitao was still crying, Li Chengqian comforted him: "Sister Zitao, don't worry first."
"She probably hasn't floated far away, and it won't take long to find her. Besides, this thief has been wiped out by us, so there will be no danger on the river."
Zi Tao glanced at Li Chengqian. Although she felt a little relieved, she still couldn't stop sobbing.
...
Jiangzhong.
Lu Wanjie grabbed the floating board under her tightly.
She originally followed her grandmother to Suzhou to visit her relatives, but she met a water thief.
She could have escaped with her grandmother in a boat, but was pulled down from the boat by a crazy maid and almost drowned.
If Zi Tao hadn't saved her, she would have drowned long ago.
But Zitao fell into the water by herself in order to let her put on the wooden board.
She originally wanted to save Zi Tao, but because she was not watery, the more she struggled, the further the board floated.
Because the river was too dark, she did not see Zi Tao being rescued by Li Chengqian's men.
She only felt that she had killed Zi Tao, who was also ignorant of water.
Looking at the dark river, her face was filled with panic.
Knowing that there were thieves in the water, she didn't dare to shout for help, and just stared at the darkness with her terrified eyes.
She was so nervous that she had no idea what was waiting for her ahead.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of paddling in the darkness.
"His grandma, where did these soldiers come from? Could it be that the heavenly soldiers and generals have succeeded?"
"That's right, if they hadn't suddenly come out, we wouldn't have lost such brothers."
"You two can say less. If we can escape, we will be lucky. Now we will run away while it's dark. If we are caught by those soldiers, we will all die."
Water pirate!
These two words suddenly popped up in Lu Wanjie's mind.
Why are pirates here?
r>
And after hearing this, they met the soldiers and 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 away in front of her.
They did not call lanterns, they were walking forward entirely in the night.
Lu Wanjie held her breath and just hoped that they would not discover themselves.
Unfortunately, the sky is not beautiful, and the moon that just hid in the clouds suddenly appeared.
Lu Wanjie was startled, and the thieves who were escaping in small boats were also startled.
The thief was afraid of being caught up, so he turned around to check it out.
As a result, this check didn't matter. I saw a wooden board floating not far behind me.
And on this wooden board was sitting a graceful little girl.
"Brother, look!"
