Chapter 130
Now that he knows the seriousness of the situation, Jinxi will not sit back and watch Anyang become a mess.He pretended to be calm and stayed in the porridge shed for two days. Seeing that there were still two bags of rice left, if Qin Xiao didn't come back with food, the scene would not be able to continue.Jin Xi rushed to the room in a hurry, but she had to try her best to pretend to be calm and indifferent, lest she would show her feet in a panic and the matter would be revealed in advance.
"My lord, there are a lot of people here to get the porridge today, do you want to add another bag of rice?" For some reason, Zhou Qingniu was very active in adding rice to the pot.She didn't notice it usually, but in the past two days, Jin Xi was extremely nervous whenever he appeared.
Jin Xi glared at him when he heard the words, "The right way is a long flow of water. Giving porridge is not about keeping one's fill. Hanging one's life is the serious thing."
Zhou Qingniu blushed from being scolded by her, and went out in despair.A look of helplessness flashed in Jinfeng's eyes, but Qingxing couldn't take it anymore, and muttered in a low voice: "Young lady is too amazing, brother Zhou was called stupid by you!"
Jin Xi was so anxious and angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she gave Qing Xing a hard look, "Who is your big brother Zhou? When did you have a big brother? Then if you care about him, you can go with him, and you don't have to wait in front of me. Already!"
Qing Xing was stunned by the scolding, and in the blink of an eye, her face was ashamed like a red cloth dripping with blood.After serving Jinxi so much, I have never seen Jinxi become so angry, nor have I been so ashamed.Tears rolled around his eyes, but he didn't dare to fall down.
"Girl, don't worry, you can still support me for a long time!" Seeing this, Jin Feng had no choice but to appease Jin Xi, and took the opportunity to step down for Qing Xing.
Can only support half a day!What about tomorrow?
Jin Xi could almost hear the sound of blisters bursting from her mouth, if bumping her head against the wall could produce food, she would have hit it headfirst.But at this time, not only can't hit the wall, but he still pretends to be calm that the sky will not fall.Such a discrepancy between the inside and the outside is simply a kind of torment for her, and she doesn't know how long this torment will last.
Qin Xiao is an unreasonable bastard, and now he has cheated him to death!
Jin Xi secretly sighed, but never regretted it.If she had to choose again, she would take this hot potato without hesitation.It's not her Holy Mother, it's just a matter of morality, and she won't feel at ease for the rest of her life if she doesn't do this.
"There's a boat coming up the river!" Someone ran up and shouted, and the frail victims who were waiting to receive the porridge immediately started to commotion as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.Those with better physical strength even dropped the empty bowl and ran towards the tower.
At this time, there is nothing more exciting than the arrival of a boat, Jin Xi also stood up suddenly, knowing that he could not see the river here, he couldn't help stretching his neck to look outside the city.I prayed secretly, it was Qin Xiao who came back with food!
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When Jinfeng told her that the ship that came was not Qin Xiao's grain ship, but a Japanese pirate with a sea shark mark on it.Jin Xi was so angry that he rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground.His face was ashen, and his heart was like a mirror, but he couldn't speak.
Jin Xi's obsessive appearance also scared Jin Feng very much. She hurriedly bent down and hugged Jin Xi, pinched her hard with one hand, and said in a hurry: "Just a Japanese pirate, they dare not attack the city, I guess I heard that Anyang has become an isolated island, and I just want to take a look at it and pick up some bargains."
I hope so!Jin Xi coughed a few times, and the first thing she said was to shout at Zhou Qingniu, "Close the porridge shed!"
Zhou Qingniu was taken aback, thinking that Jinxi was afraid of a disaster and taking the opportunity to grab food, so he immediately called out to his brothers, raised the two-inch-thick door panel and tightly surrounded the porridge shed.
Jin Xi ignored him, jumped into the carriage and ran towards the tower.He rushed up to the Anyang city tower in three steps and two steps, and saw outside the fast boat tens of feet long, with a thin black flag hanging on the top of the sail, and a vicious shark full of fangs painted in cinnabar on it, bloody. It doesn't look good at first glance.
The boat did not approach, nor did it follow the rules to answer the semaphore of the guards on the tower asking about their intentions.Only cruising back and forth outside the range of the bow and arrow, as if observing the movement in Anyang City.
There were dozens of men in black on the deck, masked by black scarves and holding a long knife. The knife was half a foot longer than ordinary knives, and the blade curved inward. It was the notorious Japanese sword.Dressed up like this, and acted like this, the identities of these people are clearly revealed, who else can they be if they are not Japanese pirates.
Jin Xi looked at it for a while, and then decisively ordered to the general defending the city, "If you don't answer, attack with a catapult!"
The captain guarding the city, Jiang Cheng, sized Jin Xi up and down several times from head to toe, and then from foot to head, and finally he curled his lips and ignored him.
"What does Captain Jiang mean?" Jin Xi's brows were raised sharply. This Jiang Cheng knew she was the daughter of the magistrate, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid. Could it be that he wanted to sit back and watch the Japanese pirates ignore him?
Jiang Cheng lazily put his hand under Jinxi's nose, "If there is an order from the magistrate's office or the navy's office, I will give the order to attack."
Although defending against Japanese pirates is the job of the navy's yamen, Zhou Bohai is a parent who also has the duty to defend himself, so he cannot escape responsibility if something goes wrong.But in the past ten days, she hasn't seen that scumbag.Waiting for him to call the shots, the cucumber dishes were cold.
This ship was obviously here to inquire about news, if they saw that Anyang City had no defensive capabilities at all, several or dozens of Japanese pirate ships would come tomorrow, and Jinxi couldn't even think about it.
"Do you want to give an order? You also know that I am Mr. Yun Zong's disciple. If there is any accident in Anyang City, Mr. Open your mouth and say, can you save your life?" Jin Xi had no room for change, and looked up at Jiang Cheng. .
I don't know if he was shocked by Jin Xi's attitude, or Mr. Yun Zong's name made him think more.Jiang Cheng took half a step back, and said with a flattering smile, "I don't know what a girl is raised in a deep boudoir. Our Anyang garrison has less than 200 people even counting the yamen servants. It's not that I don't want to fight Japanese pirates. I really can't fight them!"
Jin Xi gasped, but she wasn't so stupid as to ask where the defenders and generals went!When Qin Xiao went to pick up the grain ship outside the city, he definitely wouldn't go alone. Could it be that he took away the soldiers defending the city?God is not open, why are Japanese pirates attacking at this time?How did this ship escape the warships of the Navy Yamen?
One question after another, but this is not the time to think about it.
Jin Xi took a deep breath, took out the amulet Qin Xiao gave her from his sleeve, and flashed it to Jiang Cheng, "Look at what it is! Let me say it one last time, sink that Japanese pirate ship, or you will destroy your nine clans." !"
The golden token flashed by before his eyes, and Jiang Cheng broke out in a cold sweat. He never dreamed that Jin Xi had an imperial envoy's token for hunting on behalf of the Son of Heaven in his hand.But he didn't eat dry food, he was frightened when he was young.After settling his mind, he put on a coquettish smile, "The villain is ignorant, please give me a favor so that the villain can look at the token again!"
Without further ado, Jin Xi threw the token into Jiang Cheng's arms and said expressionlessly, "This is Mr. Qin's token. He is out on business and left a message for me to handle all affairs in Anyang City. Look carefully, don't At that time, I will tell you that I will deceive you with a fake token!"
"Don't dare, dare not!" Jiang Cheng held the token like a golden egg. The pure gold token is half the size of a palm under the upper tip. The front is engraved with "hunting for the sky" and the back is engraved with a large On the side of Lijiang map, there are cloud patterns as thin as hair.He looked over and over for a while, but didn't see any problems.Although they knew that Anyang was hit by this natural disaster, the imperial court would definitely send imperial envoys to inspect the disaster and appease the people as usual.But he really didn't believe that something so valuable and representing the status of an imperial envoy would be in the hands of this little girl, Jin Xi.
"How long do you have to test?" Jin Xi shouted coldly, his voice as smooth as ice jade, without any fluctuations.Only she knew how nervous she was at the moment.Not only was my heart about to jump out of my stomach, but my legs were also trembling uncontrollably.Qin Xiao, that bastard, actually gave her a fake token to scare people at a critical moment.
This is not scaring people, it is simply trying the knife with the neck, and he was cheated to death by him!
I don't know if I saw the flaw, or I didn't believe her intuitively.Jiang Cheng held the token and did not let go, and said with a dark smile: "The villain has little knowledge, and I really can't tell the truth from the fake. Let the villain take the token to the Hou's mansion, and ask the Hou to help me!"
"Bold!" Jin Xi slapped Jiang Cheng's face with his hands, and snatched the token back.Don't say it's a fake token, even if the real token is in the hands of Anyanghou, it will become a fake.
"Pretending to be an imperial envoy is a great crime to punish the nine clans. Forgive me for offending the villain!" Jiang Cheng suddenly turned his face, and stretched out his hand to draw his waist knife.As soon as his hand grasped the handle of the knife, Jin Feng took a step forward and the sharp sword was already around his neck.
Things have come to this point, Jin Xi can only bite the bullet, "I'll give you two choices, one is to order the attack on the ship, and the other is to take down you, the thief who is scheming with Japanese pirates!"
Jiang Chengben was not convinced, but when Jin Feng pressed his wrist, there was a bloody gash on his neck.Jiang Chengdeng's complexion changed drastically, and he knelt down in front of Jin Xi, kowtowing vigorously, "The villain is convicted, and I beg the girl to save the villain's life. The villain ordered the attack on the Japanese pirates! Swear to serve the country to the death, and die."
The 180-degree turn caught Jin Xi off guard, so he had no choice but to put on a straight face and order him to defend the city.
The Japanese pirate ship was out of the range of the bow and arrow, but within the range of the catapult.Although Jiang Cheng's character is not good, he is a good defender of the city.After a few orders, several stone catapults at the top of the city creaked and adjusted their angles. When all the catapults were loaded with boulders and ready, he gave an order, and dozens of stone balls as tall as a person roared towards the Japanese pirate ship. .
The falling water stirred up a bucket-thick jet of water, the sound was terrifying but the accuracy was not high, none of them hit the Japanese pirate ship, and they drove away quickly in shock.
Jin Xi looked at Jiang Cheng suspiciously, wondering whether it was a technical defect of the catapult, or he deliberately let the water in.
"Don't worry, girl! The villain will never let them go back alive!" Jiang Cheng felt terrified at the sight of her, and quickly put on a smile, turned around and ordered, "Adjust! Let go!"
More than ten stone balls flew out, and now five stone balls hit the pirate ship.The sails folded and the oars fell, and the long and narrow hull was broken in two from the middle.Dozens of people died on the spot, while the rest put down their small boats and fled quickly.
Jin Xi shouted anxiously, "Don't let them report back!"
