Shu Blossoms

Chapter 554 Who is the Enemy
The military adviser shook his head, "The densely packed ones are all wearing armor. If the light is not enough, you can't see the head at all."

Fu Cheng used all his strength to prevent himself from falling in front of the soldiers. He muttered to himself, "Where did this army come from? Why didn't we hear any news!"

No one could give him an answer, the only thing he knew was that the person who came was the enemy, and he had to lead the crowd to survive, looking for opportunities to send people out to find reinforcements.

At this time, he was both grateful and afraid. He was glad that Zhao Zhi had taken Fu Hong away half a day ago. He hoped that with Zhao Zhi's ability, he could protect Fu Hong and take him away from the border of Jingzhou safely.

What he was thinking was if this army had ambushed outside Jingzhou early, why did they choose to launch a night attack today? Could it be that Zhao Zhi and the others noticed something unusual and escaped smoothly, and the enemy launched rashly because they were afraid of leaking the news.

But he still couldn't stop thinking wildly, whether Zhao Zhi and Fu Hong would be caught by these unknown people on the opposite side, and what would he do if these people threatened them with Ah Hong?
A sharp arrow from the opposite side came straight towards Fu Cheng's face. Seeing that he didn't respond, the military master behind him pulled him quickly, and Fu Chengcai narrowly dodged it.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he finally came back to his senses, and said to the military adviser, "We can't sit still, we must find a way to send scouts out to investigate!"

"What the general said is that Jingzhou City is based on the dangers of Bashu and Jianghu, and we plan to have enough food for several years. It will not be easy for them to destroy the city." The military adviser nodded in agreement, and then followed Fu Cheng. Watchtower.

At this time, Luo Cong, who heard the news, rushed over with his troops. Luo Cong also survived the Fu family's extermination case. He was his most trusted brother, and he was also the best among them except Zhao Zhi. The commander of the army, with him here, the enemy will never want to break through the city.

With this self-confidence, Fu Cheng solemnly handed over the city gate to Luo Cong, and personally led people to the other city gates.

After he inspected the other three city gates, he felt a little relieved. Although the other three places were also attacked by enemies, they were not as strong as the north city gate. It seemed that there were not many enemies outside the city.

"General, judging from the current situation, the enemy did not encircle the city on a large scale, but concentrated their main force at the north city gate, trying to catch us off guard and make a quick decision." The military adviser analyzed.

"If you want to fight quickly in Jingzhou, if it's not that they have limited military strength, they think we are just a bunch of mobs, and they are too contemptuous. No matter what it is, it shows that they have weaknesses to follow. Before you come back, defend the city with all your strength!"

"General, this subordinate thinks that we can divide all of us into three groups. Each group will guard the city gate for four hours. Those who are not on duty will rest, and the other group will patrol the city. We must ensure the safety of the city." The military adviser suggested road.

"Just do as you say!" Fu Cheng agreed after thinking about it.

After finally being able to catch his breath, Fu Cheng wanted to go back to the governor's mansion to ask Yu Niang to make him something to eat, but when he walked to the door, he remembered that there was no one in the mansion.He didn't know where to go for a while, so he turned around on his horse and went to the alley where he had lived for four years. The sun was shining brightly when it should be lively, but today it was dead silent.

Fu Cheng was confused for a moment, but soon he became firm again. If their choice was wrong, why did God let them survive.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, there was a knock at the door in the alley ahead, and the sound seemed to come from their former yard.

His heart trembled, and he walked over with the knife in his hand. When he was standing in front of the door and was about to open it, he suddenly heard footsteps inside. He listened carefully to the voice, "Aniang, where did you say brother Ahong went? It's not peaceful outside today, are they okay?"

Fu Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. The child he heard was the neighbor's son Yu Yuan, one year younger than Ah Hong, who followed Ah Hong all day long. From what he said, it seemed that his mother was also inside.

"The uncles of Ah Hong are all capable people, especially his master, who is not an ordinary person. He only comes back several times a year, and he can bring so many rare things that we have never seen before. Like them Such people are not so easy to get into trouble. If something happens, we can't handle it." Yu Yuan's mother is a neat young woman, she speaks and does things very quickly.

"Then why do you come here to help them take care of the yard every day these days?" Yu Yuan asked A'niang puzzled.

"Look at the vegetables in the yard and the chickens and ducks. I think there is something urgent and I have to leave. A Niang thinks that people like them must come to a place like ours when they have nowhere to go. If one day If they come back when they encounter difficulties, this place can still be a place to stay. They have helped our mother and daughter so much over the years, and this is all we can do."

Liu Niang's words were a little embarrassing, Fu Cheng's nose was sore, and he was still thinking that if they failed this time, they might not be able to come back here.

Before he could sigh the sourness in his heart, he heard Liu Niang's words inside, "I also think that if they don't come back for a year or so, wouldn't the vegetables in the field be ruined? These beasts didn't starve to death, Just let some thief take it away. It’s better for our mothers to eat first, and return them when they come back.”

Fu Cheng's sourness lingered in his throat and disappeared, and a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Sure enough, it's still Liu Niang who likes to take advantage of things."

At this moment, Liu Niang and Yu Yuan started to leave, and Fu Cheng also turned to leave. For some reason, he was afraid of seeing these acquaintances.

Hearing the sound of the door, Fu Cheng stepped faster, but before he could walk out of the alley, he heard Yu Yuan calling him behind him, "Uncle Fu!"

"Don't yell, how can you dress like this?" Liu Niang realized something was wrong before she finished speaking, she frowned and looked carefully, and asked uncertainly: "Is it really Brother Fu?"

Fu Cheng stopped, turned around, and Yu Yuan rushed over excitedly, "It's really you, Uncle Fu! Where's Ah Hong?"

"A Yuan, don't drag your Uncle Fu on the street, go home and talk!" Liu Niang saw that Fu Cheng was uncomfortable, she was very active, and thought that it would be better for Fu Cheng to dress like this so that the people in the workshop would not know about it. He whispered to his son.

Fu Chengcheng was dragged back to his home by Yu Yuan like this, Liu Niang stood at the door and asked uncomfortably, "Brother Fu, have you eaten yet?" Fu Cheng shook his head, and Liu Niang hurriedly said: "Then you wait, noon If you make too much, there is still in the pot, and it should still be hot."

Soon Liu Niang came over with food, put it in front of him, and rubbed her hands on her clothes a little embarrassedly, "General... eat something to pad your belly!"

"What kind of general am I? You still call me the same as before." Fu Cheng felt harsh and said subconsciously.

Liu Niang smiled dryly and had nothing to say, "I used to think that Brother Fu and Master Zhao were different people, so I didn't realize it."

Fu Cheng couldn't eat anymore, he stood up and was about to leave, Yu Yuan hurriedly asked, "Where is Ah Hong, is he coming back?"
