Chapter 1843 Belated
The sun sets over the western mountains, and the sunset glow burns half the sky red, like red ink rendering everything in the world. The city of Suzhou is covered with purple-red glow, and the corpses piled up by Japanese pirates under the city are also covered with Purple glow.
If there is a painter present, he will be inspired to paint a masterpiece called "Twilight of the Japanese Pirates".
The Japanese pirates did not retreat. They set up camp about a mile outside the city and started busy making dinner.
The camp is in a mess.
The city also began to prepare for dinner. After repelling the Japanese pirates, the merchants in the city spontaneously ate pots of pulp to reward the defenders.
Li Shu and Baozi's maids Hua'er and Qin'er also came, carrying food boxes with fragrant fragrance for miles, waiting for Zhu Pingan at the foot of the city.
After Zhu Pingan received the news, he quickly walked down the city wall with Liu Dadao. When he saw Li Shu with a big belly, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He quickly stepped forward to hold Li Shu's catkins and said warmly, "Why are you coming all the way here? You can just wait at home until the Japanese pirates are defeated." , I will go home as soon as possible. The Japanese pirates are no longer able to attack the city. If nothing happens, they will retreat either tonight or tomorrow."
"There are people there." Qiao's face was flushed, but she didn't pull away, letting Zhu Pingan hold her hand.
Zhu Pingan comes from modern times, holding hands in public is nothing to Zhu Pingan, but in ancient times it was a little too much.
Of course, it's not too extreme, it's almost like seeing someone kissing in public on the street in modern times.
Ruonan, the demon girl who was following him, was stuffed with a handful of dog food. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes and cursed the man and woman in his heart.
"It's not because your kids missed you and kept kicking me in the stomach, so I had no choice but to bring them here." Li Shu said coquettishly with a smile.
"These two little bastards dare to bully my wife. Wait until they come out and see if I don't take care of them and let them know that filial sons come from under the stick."
Zhu Pingan said deliberately.
"Disgusting." Li Shu's pretty face turned red, like a hibiscus out of water, and she glared hard at Zhu Ping'an.
"Okay, you guys, go home. The Japanese pirates haven't retreated yet, so I have to go back to the city and keep an eye on them. I will go home when the Japanese pirates retreat."
Because The Japanese pirates hadn't left yet, so Zhu Ping'an didn't want to stay under the city for too long, so he hugged Li Shu and asked them to go back.
Li Shu came out of Zhu Pingan's arms and checked Zhu Pingan carefully up and down. She was relieved after confirming that Zhu Pingan was not injured. However, she still told Zhu Pingan to protect herself. Don't show off.
“We are waiting for you to come back.”
Li Shu waved goodbye to Zhu Ping'an reluctantly. She also knew that these were extraordinary times and the Japanese pirates were still outside the city.
She was very satisfied and relieved that Zhu Pingan could come down to the city to talk to her.
She is exquisite and translucent. If Zhu Pingan can go down to the city to talk to her, it must be that the battle situation is certain to be won. Otherwise, if the battle situation is dangerous, Zhu Pingan will not and cannot go down to the city to see her.
Combined with the news in the city that our army had defeated the Japanese pirates, she was completely relieved.
"Liu Dadao, you must protect Brother Zhu. If Brother Zhu is injured, I will not spare you."
Before leaving, Li Shu gave Liu Dadao a harsh warning.
"Don't worry, young lady. If the young master is missing a hair, the younger one will cut off his head and play it as a ball for the young lady."
Liu Dadao patted his chest and promised repeatedly.
"Uncle, you must listen to the young lady and protect yourself well. Don't show off. When you really need to show off, just let Brother Dadao and the others go." The little maid Baozi did not forget to warn her before leaving.
"One of them can support you a hundred times, and they are more useful than you." The witch Ruonan also added lightly.
Liu Dadao
Zhu Ping'an waved goodbye to Li Shu and the others and turned around to climb up the city wall. Liu Dadao followed closely with two six-layer food boxes.
Li Shu and the others reluctantly left, looking back three times.
"Hey, Ruonan, why don't you look at your father." On the way back, Baozi's little maid Hua'er suddenly remembered that the enchantress Ruonan's father was also under the command of her uncle.
"I saw it, my dad waved to me on the city. My dad's martial arts is a hundred times better than Zhu Pingan's. Zhu Pingan is fine, and my dad is naturally finer." The demon girl Ruonan learned from Zhu Pingan He retracted his gaze and said calmly.
Zhu Ping'an returned to the city wall, opened the food box he was carrying, took two plates of food and gave them to Shang Zhifu and other officials for extra meals. He kept one plate for himself and found out that it was the braised prawns made by Li Shu himself, and the rest All were given to the Zhejiang army officers and soldiers for sharing.
While eating, I heard footsteps and soldiers talking about the arrival of reinforcements from other city gates.
Zhu Pingan and others looked up, and sure enough they saw several groups of reinforcements trotting over from the south and north of the city wall.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth speechlessly, showing a disdainful arc. The day lilies are already cold, so you guys came.
“You bastards! Calculate for yourselves, how long has it been since I issued the military order for reinforcements before you arrived too late!”
Seeing the belated arrival of the reinforcements, Magistrate Shang seemed to be suffering from mania. He threw the soup bowl in his hand on the ground and smashed it into pieces. He cursed the leader and deputy general of the South Gate reinforcements who arrived first!
“Where were you when the Japanese pirates entered the city in disguise and stormed the city from the city?! When the Japanese pirate army stormed the city wall outside the city, where were you?! The Japanese pirates were repulsed and their banners and drums ceased. You It's too late!"
"What are you doing here? Are you here to collect the corpses for me? If I were really waiting for you, I would be so cold!”
“It’s said that raising an army lasts only a short time. Ask yourselves, what’s the point of raising you?”
>
Zhifu Shang cursed for almost ten minutes before he took a sip of water and stopped.
"Ahem, Sir, calm down, we" Nanmen Deputy General just said a word, but was interrupted by the scolding of Shang Zhifu.
"Calm down your anger, how can I calm down my anger! Tell me, how can I calm down my anger! It has been at least an hour and a half since my military order was sent out! Your reinforcements have only arrived after the battle is over!"
< br>Zhifu Shang couldn't help but cursed again.
"Ahem, sir, please calm down. We also have our own reasons. There are also Japanese pirates attacking the city at the south gate."
The deputy general of the south gate explained.
"Bullshit! I know how many soldiers and horses the Japanese pirates have. They are all under the city! How can they attack the city at your south gate?!"
As soon as Zhifu Shang heard his explanation, he couldn't help but be angry. The smelly curse shouted to the sky.
“It’s true,” Nanmen Lieutenant General explained.
"How many?" Magistrate Shang asked.
"Many Japanese pirates..." The deputy general of Nanmen lacked confidence.
"How much is a lot?" Magistrate Shang asked.
"Thousands of Japanese pirates..." The deputy general of the South Gate groaned for a long time.
“Thousands?!” Magistrate Shang stared.
"There are always hundreds of Japanese pirates..." the Nanmen deputy general said weakly.
Hearing this, Zhifu Shang almost lost his temper and said, "Okay, okay, okay." (End of this chapter)
