I don’t know if I am chewing on my sister’s words or if I am frightened.
Li Chengqian was not scared to tears as Hou Junji imagined.
Nor was he so scared that he hid behind an adult.
He just stood quietly in front of the fence, watching the soldiers carrying the wounded and disposing of the bodies.
The moonlight shone down on Li Chengqian's little body.
The image of Li Chengqian in Hou Junji's eyes suddenly changed.
Suddenly it was the image of a child like Li Chengqian, and then it turned into the heroic image of Li Shimin.
Gradually, even Hou Junji himself couldn't tell who was standing in front of him.
Hou Junji scratched his head and thought to himself: "As expected of father and son, they are so similar."
Thinking of this, Hou Junji smiled slightly and turned around to direct the soldiers below to continue to eliminate the remnants of the water thieves.
…
Li Chengqian didn't know that Hou Junji almost thought he was 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 a war, two people were killed and more than 20 people were injured in Qianzi camp, and nearly 50 people were killed and injured by water thieves.
More than fifty lives were lost in just this moment.
It was so fast that no one had time to react, and no one even knew their names.
Perhaps, in a few years, no one except their relatives will know that they have been in this world...
Li Chengqian suddenly felt confused.
Why did you come to this world?
Is it just for eating, drinking and having fun...
"Help!"
At this moment, a short cry for help interrupted Li Chengqian's thoughts.
Li Chengqian hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a small figure rising up and down on the water.
Someone is drowning.
"Someone is drowning!"
Li Chengqian shouted.
Several soldiers from Qianzi camp came over quickly to ask.
"Your Highness ,What's wrong?"
"Someone is drowning."
Li Chengqian pointed in the direction of the figure and said: "Those who can swim, hurry up and save people."
Don't say they can swim, even if they can't swim, if Li Chengqian says anything at this time, they still have to go into the water to save people.
Several Qianzi camp soldiers were also very fast, jumping directly into the water and swimming towards the figure.
It didn't take long before the man was pulled onto the deck by several soldiers.
Li Chengqian hurriedly went up and saw that it was a woman.
After careful identification, he actually knew this woman.
"Sister Zitao?"
This person is none other than Lu Wanjie's personal maid, Zitao.
When Li Chengqian helped Li Chongyi pursue Lu Wanjie, it was he who ran over and deceived Zitao away.
Zitao raised her head and looked at Li Chengqian, and it took her a while to react: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"it's me."
"Why are you here?"
Li Chengqian's head was filled with confusion.
Shouldn't she be in Chang'an City? Why did she come to the south?
"Your Highness, please stop asking questions now. Please save the young lady quickly. The young lady is still in the water."
"Miss?"
"Sister Wanjie is here too?"
"We were together just now, but I fell off the floating board, and she floated to nowhere."
Zitao cried anxiously and kept kowtowing to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, please send someone to rescue her quickly..."
Li Chengqian hurriedly supported her, and then said: "You guys, quickly paddle a boat and go to the river to look for people."
Just as a few people were about to leave, Li Chengqian quickly warned: "If you find it, don't yell. Rescue it first."
After several people looked at each other and nodded, they took out the small boat from the big ship and threw it into the river, then carried lanterns along the river.
Jiang Mian began to look for Lu Wanjie.
Seeing that Zitao was still crying, Li Chengqian comforted her and said, "Sister Zitao, don't worry first."
"She shouldn't have drifted far yet. It won't take long to find her. Besides, we have eliminated the water thieves in this area, so there will be no danger on the river."
Zitao glanced at Li Chengqian, and although she felt a little relieved, she still couldn't stop sobbing.
…
In the middle of the river.
Lu Wanjie clung to the floating board beneath her.
She originally went to Suzhou with her grandmother to visit her relatives, but ended up encountering a water thief.
She could have escaped in a boat with her grandmother, but was pulled out of the boat by a crazy maid and almost drowned.
If Zitao hadn't saved her, she would have drowned long ago.
But Zitao fell into the water in order to let her get on the board.
She wanted to save Zitao, but because it was not water-resistant, the more she struggled, the farther the board floated.
Because the river was too dark, she didn't see Zitao being rescued by Li Chengqian's people.
She only felt that she had killed Zitao, who also did not know the nature of water.
Looking at the dark river, panic was written on her face.
Knowing that there were water thieves in the water, she did not dare to shout for help. She only stared into the darkness with frightened eyes.
In her heart, 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 coming from the darkness.
"Grandma, where did these soldiers come from? Could it be that they are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?"
"That is, if they hadn't suddenly killed us, we wouldn't have lost such a brother."
"You two, please stop talking. If we can escape, our lives are in danger. Now let's run away while it's dark. If we are caught by those soldiers, we will all die."
Water pirate!
These two words suddenly appeared in Lu Wanjie's mind.
Why are the water thieves here?
r>
And from what I heard, they encountered soldiers and suffered considerable losses.
what 's wrong?
Before she could figure it out, Lu Wanjie vaguely saw several shadows shaking not far in front of her in the dim night.
They did not carry lanterns and traveled entirely by night.
Lu Wanjie held her breath, hoping that they would not discover her.
Unfortunately, the sky was not beautiful, and the moon that had just hidden in the clouds suddenly appeared.
Lu Wanjie was startled, and so were the water thieves who escaped in the boat.
The water thief was afraid of being caught up, so he turned back to check.
In the end, this inspection didn't matter. I saw a wooden board floating not far behind me.
And sitting on this wooden board was a graceful little girl.
"Brother, look!"
The water thief turned around and reminded him hastily.
The water thieves in front also quickly turned around and saw Lu Wanjie looking at them with a panicked face.
"Mom, God is so kind to us, he even gave us a little lady."
"Hurry up and catch her. If she is a girl from a rich family, we can make a lot of money."
"Even if we don't belong to a wealthy family, we brothers can still have a good time."
Hearing this, Lu Wanjie's face turned pale.
He quickly turned around on the board and used his hands as paddles to quickly glide across the water.
But with her little strength, how could she move such a big wooden board?
Seeing the two parties getting closer and closer to each other.
"Little lady, don't run away, you can't run away."
One of the water thieves looked like he was about to succeed, and he had an extremely obscene smile on his face.
At this moment, Lu Wanjie's eyes were filled with tears.
He glanced at the other party, then at Jiang Mian...
Death is better than being insulted by them.
Lu Wanjie used her arms hard, gritted her teeth and got into the water.
