Chapter 429: Attack of the Turks (3)


    “Why aren’t Uncle and the others back yet?” Luo Qian also stood up and frowned.


    Although the Luo army had scattered, the city still needed guards. Usually, Luo Lianying and Luo Liantai would work as guards at the watchtowers. After Shen Xin came, he brought Shen Qiu to help. In the evening, they were supposed to return to the mansion for dinner, but today, they did not.


    Shen Miao nced outside and suddenly thought of something, her expression changing drastically.


    When Luo Tan saw that Shen Miao’s expression was not right, she thought that Shen Miao was afraid. She said, “Cousin, are you afraid of the hail? It hailed a few days ago too, but at that time, you were not afraid. Why are you afraid now?” At this point, she patted Shen Miao’s shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. We’ve lived here for many years. Every year, at this time, it will often hail. It’s nothing serious.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone call out from outside. It was the servant of the Luo family. He shouted as he ran, even falling to the ground,, “Young Master, Miss, Madam wants you to go to the hall at once.”


    Luo Tan was stunned and frowned. “What happened?”


    “The Turks are here to snatch things again. Old Master brought the two masters and General Shen to the grasnd. The two young masters are still in the mansion. Miss, hurry up and go to the hall.” Although the servant was a little anxious, he did not panic. Clearly, this had happened many times.


    Luo Tan stomped her feet indignantly. “Damn the Turks!”


    Luo Qian said to Shen Miao, “Cousin, follow us. It’s fine.” At this moment, he did not forget tofort Shen Miao.


    Shen Miao nodded. When they arrived at the front hall of the Luo family, there were already many people gathered in the hall. Madam Yu and Madam Ma were both in the hall. When they saw the three of them, they heaved a sigh of relief. Madam Ma was probably afraid that Shen Miao was scared, so she walked to Shen Miao’s side and held her hand. “Jiaojiao, you’ve never seen such a big hailstorm, right? It’s fine. Let’s chat in the hallter. You haven’t told us about the interesting things happened in the capital yet.” However, she did not mention the Turks at all. Madam Yu was a little gentler and smiled. “That’s right. Let’s eat hot pot mutton tonight. I wonder if Jiaojiao likes it.”


    Spring City was adjacent to the grasnd. When the Turks did note to snatch things, they would use cows and sheep to exchange for somemodities. The cows and sheep were strong. After ughtering the fresh sheep, they cut the mutton into thin pieces and set up a small pot. The thin and fat piece could almost be cooked by boiling water instantly. After dipping it in spicy sauce, it would be delicious. Previously, Luo Tan wanted Shen Miao to try the hot pot mutton, but she was afraid that Shen Miao would not be used to it. She didn’t expect the dinner to be hot pot mutton tonight.


    Obviously, they wanted Shen Miao to be distracted and not think about anything else. Shen Miao smiled at Madam Yu. The Luo family was always the most friendly.


    The Turks’ headquarter was located in the depths of the grasnd. The Luo family did not have enough manpower now. They needed all the strong men of the Luo family to go out to chase the Turks. However, this year, with Shen Xin and his wife, it was better. Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, Shen Qiu, Luo Lianying, and Luo Liantai went, and even Luo Sui followed. Originally, Luo Ling and Luo Sa wanted to go too, but since Shen Xin and the others went, they stayed in Spring City to protect the people.


    It was already dark outside. Luo Tan bit his lip tightly, looking a little angry. Every year, his homnd would be robbed. No matter what, he hated Turks to the core.
