General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 993: Alert (1)

"Sister-in-law! Can we hold off a hundred thousand soldiers?" Chen Wan'er stroked her belly and said worriedly.

"Heyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will be difficult for them to capture Heyang City!" Ji Xiaowu explained to Chen Wan'er, "Don't worry! It will not be easy for them to capture this place."

After pacifying Chen Wan'er, Aunt Li rushed in and came to Ji Xiao'er. "Girl, are we going to get beaten up outside?"

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?" Looking at Aunt Li's pale face, Ji Xiaou soothed her back.

"The city gates are sealed! No one is allowed to enter or leave!" Aunt Li said, "Auntie, tell me, are we really going to fight?"

"Yes." Ji Xiaowu nodded, "Yes, the war has started, but it won't reach us yet! Fang Chen closed the city gates to protect us."

"So that's how it is. I was scared to death!" Aunt Li had originally gone to the city to visit her grandson Hu Zi today, but she didn't expect to hear rumors that the city gate was closed. She thought a fight was about to break out, so she hurried back.

"Are all the people in the village scared?" Seeing that Aunt Li was so scared, Ji Xiaomu thought it was no wonder that there was silence everywhere today.

"That's right, I didn't meet anyone when I came back." Aunt Li nodded.

Mother Ji thought about it and took Aunt Li to the village chief's house.

"Village chief, I'm Ji Xiaou, are you home?" When the village chief heard Ji Xiaou's voice, he hurried out and opened the door.

"Auntie, are we really going to fight?" The village chief asked immediately when he saw Aunt Ji for the first time.

"Not yet. Fang Chen received the news of the war, so he closed the city gate." Ji Xiaomu explained.

The village chief heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Xiaomu's words, and then looked at Ji Xiaomu. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Let the village chief gather everyone together first, and I will tell them the current situation." Ji Xiaomu decided to tell them the current situation. They were now nervous, like a frightened bird.

"Okay, okay." The village chief was very happy when he heard this! They were common people. They were the last to know the news during every war. When the enemy came, they were unable to react in time. Now Ji Xiaowu said she wanted to tell them about the current situation so that everyone could feel at ease.

The village chief took out a gong and drum and struck it three times. "Okay."

"Is it done?" Mother Ji was stunned. Would they know it just by knocking three times?

"This is the idea we came up with after Fang Chen's last exercise. With this gong, if we strike it once, it means there is an enemy, if we strike it twice, it means we are safe, and if we strike it three times, it means we are gathering everyone." The village chief explained to Ji Xiaomu. It was thanks to Fang Chen that they came up with this idea.

"That's good." Ji Xiaowu nodded.

"Village chief, what do you want to call us for?" The men ran to the village chief and asked, panting.

Ji Xiaomu saw that the first ones to run over were the men of the village, while the women did not appear, so they must still be hiding.

"I'm here to tell you about the current situation. Come and listen." The village chief greeted everyone.

"Auntie, do you know the current situation?" The men in the village looked at Auntie Ji and Aunt Li with their eyes lighting up.

"You don't have to be nervous. The current situation has not reached Heyang City yet. The princes have already started the war. Fang Chen received the news, so he closed the city gates. Before they decide the winner, the city gates will be closed to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack." Ji Xiaowu explained.
