Chapter 174 How come he is one of our own?



But her lower body was soaked in the freezing water, which made her face turn pale.

She used her luck to let her internal energy flow through her legs so that they wouldn't be frozen. She pulled out the knife in her hand and thrust it forward, moving her body further away from the water.

Seeing two people about to rush over, she quickly stopped them: "Don't come over, the ice is unstable!"

Kou Jiming quickly stopped his horse and didn't dare to get any closer.

Zhou also hurriedly stopped, fearing that her weight would burden the ice surface again. She looked at her anxiously: "What should I do! What should I do?"

"I'll take off my clothes and twist them into a rope to pull you out!"

Kou Jiming swiftly took off his clothes and was about to twist them together. Ji Changying breathed a sigh of relief: "Stop, I'm almost out!"

As she spoke, she stabbed the knife forward twice more.

Relying on the strength of her upper body, she finally managed to free her lower body from the river surface. She crawled forward for a distance and completely left this unstable area before she stood up.

Zhou picked her up and took off her fur coat to wrap her up. "How are you? Are you cold? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Changying refused and forcefully put her clothes back on: "It's a bit cold, let's not waste time here, let's go!"

After coming out of the water and standing here, the cold wind blew and the clothes on the lower body quickly turned into icicles, sticking to the body like ice cubes, making people feel cold to the heart.

She could only use her meager internal strength to continuously circulate in her lower body to prevent her legs from stiffening.

Seeing that her lips were white from the cold, Zhou picked up the stick and knife on the ground and held them in her arms. Kou Jiming's face was solemn: "Let's go!"

Although part of the ice surface is cracked, if the opponent is determined to pursue, they can bypass this part and catch up, which will lead to another fierce battle.

The three of them mounted their horses together and chased after the large group ahead.

The border troops were waiting for them at the front, and they were relieved when they saw the three men return to the team.

Ji Fengshou and the others were extremely anxious. When they saw the people coming back, they hurriedly led their horses forward and asked, "How are you?"

Seeing that her husband was losing his temper, Zhou's voice was filled with anger: "It's all because of your bad mouth! Ah Ying fell into the water!"

Ji Fengshou was shocked: "What?!"

Looking at his daughter's pale face, he couldn't help but get anxious: "What are you waiting for! Let's go!"

There was no place for her to change clothes in the wilderness, and no clothes to change into!

There is no hot water to warm the body.

Ji Minghao rummaged through the luggage on horseback and found the leather to cover Ji Changying: "Hold on, we're almost there!"

Ji Mingxue took the lead and ran very fast in front.

They could already vaguely see the city walls of Liangzhou.

Because of the last raid, there were twice as many guards on the city walls as usual.

Suddenly, countless black spots appeared on the river surface amidst the vast expanse of white snow. After rubbing his eyes to make sure it wasn't just his own dazzle, the captain immediately sounded the alarm: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

It was the end of the year and the city gate was bustling with people.

After hearing the sound, the people rushed into the city. The people guarding the city gate were facing a great enemy and dragged the heavy gate and slowly pushed it together.

"Close the gates!"

The sound spread far away, and all the archers were ready to shoot, aiming their arrows at the black spots on the river.

The centurion rode his horse towards the government office to inform the higher-ups of the news.

On the river.

Kou Jiming saw the city wall standing tall in the snow from afar, and an excited look appeared on his face: "Oh my god! I'm finally home!"

The subordinate behind him glanced at the city wall, his face showing an unconcealed joy: "Should we hang the flag?"

"hang!"

They are border troops, how could they not know the current situation in Liangzhou.

The subordinate responded happily, and soon someone carried the flag of the Tiger Army and raised it.

The archers on the city wall who were concentrating on aiming at them suddenly felt something was wrong.

Among a group of black dots, the red spot is particularly obvious.

The centurion took one look and waved his hand: "Wait!"

The archer relaxed briefly.

The centurion squinted his eyes, and when the black spot got closer and closer, he could clearly see the golden tiger on the red background of the flag, and his eyes widened.

How come this is one of our own???

He half-doubtedly pulled the person next to him over and said, "Look carefully, is that red flag a tiger?"

The archer's eyesight was excellent, and he took one look and replied decisively, "Yes, sir! Isn't this our Tiger Might Army?"

The centurion pushed him away and grabbed the person on the other side: "Come and see!"

The man gave the same answer.

The centurion finally breathed a sigh of relief. He must have been right!

"Stay where you are!"

He left a word and turned to walk down the city wall. He asked someone to open the city gate a crack, and he walked out of the city alone.

Kou Jiming led his men along the way quickly, and when he saw the densely packed heads standing on the city wall and the tightly closed city gates, he understood what was going on.

So people kept waving flags and approached.

"Captain Kou!"

The centurion looked surprised.

Kou Jiming nodded casually: "Open the city gate. We just came from the barbarians. Be careful and alert. They might follow us."

When the centurion heard this, he had no choice but to respond. He turned around and happily ordered the gatekeeper to open the gate.

A group of people entered one after another.

Such a big commotion at the city gate naturally attracted many people to come and watch the fun.

Kou Jiming and his men slowly entered, followed by a large herd of cattle, sheep and horses.

The crowd consciously split into two groups, leaving the spacious street in the middle for them.

Kou Jiming led them through the middle of the place, just like soldiers who had just returned to the city after a victory.

The people on both sides lined the streets to welcome them, thinking that they were on a mission.

The people of Xiaotian Village sat on the backs of oxen and horses, and couldn't help but straighten their chests. Looking at the border troops in front of them, they couldn't help but imitate their serious and majestic appearance.

But I really feel that the moment is too glorious. I can't suppress the smile on the corner of my mouth, and the expression on my face is distorted.

There were also some nosy brokers standing by, their eyes rolling, naturally wanting to get hold of this new information. They would playfully pick out a friendly-looking person and ask, "Hey, sister! What did you do to run into our Tiger Might Army?"

Lin rolled his eyes at the other person, then walked past him with his chest puffed out and his eyes straight ahead.

She didn't like to talk to people, so she naturally had something to say. When she heard someone finally asked, she started talking like a flood that had been opened:

"We are just ordinary people. You don't know that we are from Gan County..."

Ji Fengshou and his companions had no intention of delaying on the road, they just wanted to go to the government office quickly to find a doctor to see Ji Changying.

She was feeling very uncomfortable now. The clothes on her body were melted by her body temperature and stuck to her skin, which was very uncomfortable.
