Just at this warm and happy moment, a sudden commotion of footsteps and horn sounds came from outside.
"Enemy attack!"
Bai Chengye jumped up immediately, not even bothering to put on a raincoat or straw hat, and rushed straight into the rain.
Bai Jian and others followed closely behind.
Wu Ling frowned. "Didn't we already agree to peace talks tomorrow?"
"Why is Prefect Hu going back on his word?"
Wu Juan was somewhat indignant. "Who says otherwise? It's raining so hard, can't people even get a proper rest? What kind of surprise attack is this?"
"I feel that this person doesn't want to negotiate at all. Everything he said is just to buy time. Now that the main force must have arrived, he's resorting to underhanded tactics, and you actually believed him."
Wu Ling shook his head with absolute certainty.
"No! I have met Prefect Hu in person! He is not the kind of person who goes back on his word."
"He himself had a very strong desire to negotiate. He took the initiative to propose this negotiation after we arrived here. He did not use force to threaten us at all."
"Moreover, this person seems to be very familiar with Ji Wenxuan's mother."
"His words were full of sighs!"
"It's just that some of his subordinates are very stubborn, so we need to do some psychological preparation for them."
"They've only given us five days."
"The most crucial point is that this place is practically an abandoned city."
"The main force under the Marquis of Zhenxi has split into several parts, but the main force is basically all in the capital."
Lin Ru was somewhat suspicious, "Could it be that one of the prefect's subordinates has betrayed us?"
Wu Ling stood up and quickly walked outside.
"I was the one who started this whole thing; I had to go out and see what was going on."
"His Majesty is not feeling well, so you two should stay here and keep him company."
"Don't go out."
"It's cold!"
Lin Ru nodded!
It's just a county!
If it weren't for the need to avoid casualties and minimize harm to the people inside and the city.
They had already launched a strong offensive using forceful tactics.
These people actually took advantage of our kindness, so we shouldn't blame them for being impolite.
The disparity in military strength between the two sides is now enormous; trying to fight them is like an ant trying to shake a tree.
So Lin Ru wasn't worried at all.
Just as she was getting ready to snuggle into bed for a nap, she was suddenly awakened by the chaotic noise outside.
"General Bai, are you alright? General Bai, please don't scare us."
"Third Master Bai!"
"Come out quickly!"
Hearing the noise outside, Lin Ru was instantly wide awake. She jumped out of bed and rushed out without even letting her clothes get soaked from the rain.
She looked at the group of people surrounding her maternal grandfather!
Their faces were filled with anxiety.
The expressions on the faces of these people upon seeing her arrival were all quite complex.
"Quickly carry my maternal grandfather into the camp."
"Tell me what exactly happened?"
Bai Qiang pushed through the crowd and walked to his niece's side.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's that Lin Dayong!"
"I never expected him to be alive, and to have made it this far."
"Even though it was far away, your maternal grandfather recognized that beast immediately."
"But that beast didn't recognize your maternal grandfather."
"Their words were full of provocation and insults."
“After your maternal grandfather revealed his identity, that man became even more arrogant.”
"He said some very offensive things, and your grandfather couldn't catch his breath and collapsed."
Lin Ru's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression revealing danger.
"Something extremely excessive?"
"Did you say anything about my mother?"
"Otherwise, my maternal grandfather wouldn't have done that."
Bai Qiang clenched his fists tightly as he spoke, his eyes filled with resentment.
"That beast!"
What else doesn't Lin Ru understand!
Bai Chengen also rushed over and saw his older brother lying on the bed with a deathly pale face.
He swayed and almost fainted.
Bai Shu quickly helped his father up.
"Dad! You have to hold on, you can't fall!"
"What else should Uncle do?"
Bai Chengen took a deep breath. "Yes! I can't fall! Shu'er! Help me up quickly."
Bai Shu quickly helped the person over.
Lin Ru stood to the side, watching her third uncle with great nervousness!
She held a cure-all pill in her hand!
If things look bad, feed it to her maternal grandfather.
Bai Chengen slowly opened his eyes, withdrew his hand from taking his pulse, and sighed deeply, "Big brother suffered a sudden attack of anger, and coupled with his age and lack of rest, he fainted immediately."
"However, his fainting this time was so sudden, and he also caught a cold, so there may be signs of a stroke."
Upon hearing the word "stroke," Bai Qiang immediately...
It was like a bolt from the blue.
They were like a towering mountain to their father, yet they were associated with the word "stroke"!
He couldn't believe it.
Hearing this, Lin Ru was filled with regret. She really wanted the Bai family to be able to stand on their own two feet, because they couldn't rely on her forever!
Mountains crumble when you rely on them, and people run away when you rely on them.
She can't stay here forever, nor can she protect them for a lifetime.
That's why they were sent here, with the idea of rewarding them after they made a great contribution!
However, Bai Chengye's age was overlooked!
She quickly stuffed the pill in her hand into Bai Chengye's mouth!
They all personally helped the person up and fed them several mouthfuls of water.
Bai Qiang watched his niece's actions, and his anxious heart suddenly calmed down. He knew that his niece had a very magical pill in her hand, a pill that seemed to be able to cure all diseases.
Moreover, even if his own niece didn't have that kind of elixir, she was still a goddess, a fairy sent down from heaven, who would have a way to save his father.
After Lin Ru finished her actions, Bai Chengen couldn't wait to place his hand on his older brother's pulse.
He could clearly feel that his elder brother's pulse had changed from weak and feeble to steady and strong!
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
His admiration for Lin Ru reached a new level.
Seeing her third great-uncle's appearance, Lin Ru immediately understood that her maternal grandfather was probably alright.
She's been thinking about how to deal with those guys from the Holy Kingdom every day lately, and she forgot to deal with him.
The little brat, he's still showing off like this, it's really her mistake!
This is truly a case of choosing the path to hell when there's a way to heaven.
"Third Uncle! Second Uncle! You two stay here and watch over my maternal grandfather! He should wake up soon. Tell him when he wakes up that there's no need to rush."
"I'll deal with that beast myself."
"I will make him regret ever being born."
After saying that, she went out into the rain.
Looking at his niece's resolute back, Bai Qiang silently burned incense for those beasts in his heart.
