Chapter 316 The Xiao family doesn't have a normal person
The difference between the new city and the old city is clearly reflected in the people who defend the city.
The soldiers in the old city were dressed in rags, but they had an energy about them that could not be ignored. Although each of them had a weathered face, their eyes were frighteningly bright.
When they stood there, they looked ordinary, but once something happened, these people immediately became different. Their whole bodies were full of momentum, like a sharp blade unsheathed, and like a beast ready to go.
, as if it could pounce in an instant and bite out the enemy's throat.
These are all elites, veterans who have been forged through countless battles and have survived countless battles. They are rich in experience and have strong individual combat capabilities. They are all brave and skilled warriors on the battlefield.
Such people come to guard the city gate, which shows that the strength of the Xiao family army cannot be underestimated. Just like Qi Yihan said, there will be a full-scale martial arts show at the border crossing. Those barbarians are ferocious and difficult to deal with. Those who can survive will naturally
He is a loyal and brave man who has experienced hundreds of battles.
The soldiers in the old city were elite troops, but the entire old city was in devastation, and everything they saw was desolate. The streets were no longer as flat and wide as they used to be, and the houses on both sides were collapsed and collapsed. Although some shops had
There was a plaque hanging on it, but the doors and windows were collapsed, so it was obvious that the building was deserted.
The old city is quite large, but there are almost no people in sight. It has become a garrison for the army. The city is heavily guarded, and there are no one knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at them in the dark.
Li Man'er could feel a faint murderous aura pouring out from hidden places on both sides of the street, but he didn't know if these people had just come off the battlefield, or if the murderous aura was directed at them.
At this time, Xiao Ruqin and Xiao Ruduo were discussing defense matters in the government office in the city.
"This time, we not only have to handle things beautifully, but we also have to bring down the person named Li." Xiao Ruduo's face changed several times, "Speaking of which, this idea came from the boss. He hid behind and pretended to be a good person, letting the two of us take it for granted.
Being a pawn is somewhat unethical."
Xiao Ruqin: "Isn't he always like this? Now that he can't go to the battlefield, he has less say in the army. Otherwise, he might be able to do something even more extreme than this."
While the two brothers were talking, someone came to report that Li Shu was back.
The two brothers smiled knowingly and said, "Let's go and greet this unfortunate Marquis."
The white-haired Xiao Ruduo smiled and followed his third brother Xiao Ruqin out.
Soon, the two of them met Li Shu face to face.
"Oh, Lord Marquis, this is great for you."
"My subordinate has met the Marquis."
The two Xiao brothers pretended to salute Li Shu, but their eyes were on the faces of the strangers behind Li Shu, looking at them without leaving any trace.
That Xiao Ruqin's gaze was like a poisoned knife. When it fell on Li Man'er, it made people feel very uncomfortable, as if it had some ulterior purpose and was full of danger.
Li Man'er is not the kind of little girl who has never seen the world and is thin-skinned. When people looked at her secretly, she seemed not to know. Instead, she looked over openly. Xiao Ruqin was stunned, and then he showed her a
Come smile.
how to say……
Xiao Ruqin is very thin, skinny, with a head full of white hair. Just looking at his hair, you would say he is young if you say he is eighty years old. But judging from his face, he is only in his early thirties, a few years younger than Li Shu.
At the age of 18, he had a pair of leopard eyes, which made him look a bit inhuman and very unconventional.
Li Man'er only glanced at him twice, then withdrew her gaze and secretly said: Looking for death!
This person is by no means a kind person. He used secret techniques to prolong his life at a young age. Unfortunately, it was too harmful to his moral integrity. His life was about to end and no one could save him.
I heard Li Shu and the others mention it a few times before, and I think this is Xiao Ruduo, the fourth son of the Xiao family. That goatee should be Xiao Ruqin, the third son of the Xiao family, and the current master of the Ninth Prince.
When Li Maner thought about this, he also lamented that things in the world are confusing.
While she was distracted for a while, Li Shu had already finished greeting the two Xiao brothers.
"Master Marquis, these are..." Xiao Ruqin looked at Li Nian and then at Li Man'er, who was disguised as a man, as if he was a little curious.
"This is my third brother Li Nian. The couple lived under General Bai's tent and have not been in Beijing for many years. This year I returned to Beijing to report on my duties. Just in time for something to happen to me, I protected my daughter all the way to Mobei."
"It turns out to be Vice General Li. I have admired him for a long time. I have admired him for a long time."
I didn't know the details of Li Shu before, but I only heard that the Li family had a pair of generals who were quite powerful. Now that they see Li Shu's bearish appearance, the Xiao family brothers naturally don't take Li Nian seriously and just treat him as a fool.
The quality of the goods, but it was not revealed.
Li Nian cupped his fists and pushed forward slightly as a return gift.
"Is this your concubine?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Li Man'er.
Although Liu Ya was dressed in women's clothing and dressed very neatly, she stood behind Li Man'er with a respectful expression, as if Li Man'er was the master in everything, and she looked like she was not the master.
On the other hand, it was Li Man'er. Although she was wearing men's clothes, the wind and sand in the sky couldn't hide her unparalleled appearance and demeanor.
"Yes, Man'er, I haven't seen the two generals yet."
Cut~
Li Man'er cupped his fists and saluted, "I have seen two generals."
Xiao Ruduo didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were filled with victory, "I didn't expect that my concubine is so brave. She is really a woman who cannot be compared to other women."
"The general has given you a reward."
It was a polite remark, but Xiao Ruduo actually asked again, "I heard that Miss Li has excellent medical skills, and you were the one who cured Mr. Marquis's poison. You are truly a tiger father without a dog daughter, and you are worthy of being the queen of the general family."
"The poison that my father suffered was not a difficult or complicated disease at first. I guess it was because there was a shortage of doctors and medicines here and we couldn't find a good doctor, so we were delayed." Li Man'er's clear eyes flashed with a hint of joking, as if
He was laughing at everyone in the Xiao family.
Li Shu's face turned dark at that time. He felt that Li Man'er's words were not criticizing the Xiao family, but slapping him in the face. Before he could speak, Xiao Ruqin came out to smooth things over, and said so beautifully, "
It's too boring for everyone to stand here talking and blowing the cold wind. It's Xiao who didn't entertain us well. Hurry up, let's go in and talk."
Li Shu couldn't help but follow the two Xiao brothers into the yard.
Xiao Ruqin called his confidants and asked him to arrange a resting place for Li Shu and Li Nian's personal guards. He and Lao Si directly took the two Li brothers, Li Man'er, Liu Ya, Qin Si, and Lao Sun.
Entered the main hall of the government office.
"You guys, you didn't entertain us well. I didn't know that the Marquis was coming back today, so I didn't prepare any preparations for the reception banquet." Xiao Ruqin looked like a master. Li Man'er could tell with just one glance that this man was strong on the outside but strong on the inside.
He looks in good health, but in fact he is just a little stronger than ordinary people.
She thought of Xiao Rudi's legs, then looked at the two people in front of her, and thought to herself that the Xiao family was really interesting, there was no normal person.
