Chapter 432: Attack of the Turks (6)
“Are there usually so many people?” Shen Miao asked.
After a moment of thinking, Luo Ling said, “There are usually more people. It’s just that Father and the others transferred them away today, so there aren’t many guards left. However, if nothing happens in the city, 70 people will be enough. The weather is not good tonight. It’s right. No one will enter the city.”
There were only so many soldiers in the Luo army who could be used. If they wanted to chase after the Turks, they naturally had to take away all the soldiers they could. The remaining city guards were not many, but Spring City had been safe and sound for so many years.
Luo Sa stared at Shen Miao for a while and suddenly said, “Are you afraid that the Turks will attack?”
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned. Luo Tan opened his mouth wide and Luo Qian asked, “Second Brother, what are you talking about? Why would the Turks attack?”
Luo Sa sneered and stared into Shen Miao’s eyes without blinking. “Didn’t you say on the day you came that the Turks are ambitious and powerful? Why wouldn’t they attack us? Is this what you’re afraid of?”
Luo Sa was a little aggressive. Facing his sharp gaze, Shen Miao nodded. “That’s right. That’s what I’m afraid of.”
“How is that possible?” Luo Tan said, “Let’s not talk about whether what you said will happen or not. Today, Father and Uncle went to the grassland to chase after the Turks. Why would those Turks split their main force to attack Spring City? If they really want to take down Spring City, wouldn’t it be better for them to find a better opportunity?”
“The people of Ming Qi are not the only ones who know the tactic of luring the enemy away from his base,” Shen Miao said indifferently. “Although the Turks are nomads, they are not fools. They have lived with the people of Spring City for so many years. Do you think they haven’t learned anything?”
Shen Miao’s abnormally cold attitude surprised them. After a moment of silence, Luo Ling was the first to speak. “Little Cousin, is this your speculation, or… how did you know this?”
Shen Miao had always been afraid that the Turks would attack the city. Today, she looked extremely abnormal. Everyone noticed this. Anyone who was not a fool would be able to tell that something was wrong.
“Intuition.”
“Intuition?” Luo Sa smiled instead of being angry. “Little cousin, this is not the time to joke.”
“Cousin brothers, after being in the city guard army for so many years, don’t you know that it’s better to be safe than sorry?” Shen Miao’s expression darkened, and the gentleness in her eyes gradually disappeared. She said, “If the Turks really attack, everyone will be safe if we’re prepared in advance. If they don’t attack, won’t it be a good thing that Spring City is spared from a bloody calamity? Do we only need to make preparations when we know something bad is going to happen? If you don’t even understand this simple logic, it’s no wonder the Luo family is declining day by day.”
“You!” Luo Sa was furious. Luo Tan and Luo Qian’s expressions were also a little ugly.
On the other hand, Luo Ling stared at Shen Miao for a while, his expression unchanged. He was still as gentle as before. He cupped his hands at Shen Miao and said, “Cousin Miao, you’re right. We’re not as insightful as you. However, there are only so many soldiers we can deploy. In your opinion, what should we do?”
Luo Ling seemed to be asking Shen Miao for an opinion, but in fact, he was throwing an intractable problem at Shen Miao and testing her. Shen Miao sneered in her heart. This gentle cousin of hers was not as gentle as he looked on the surface.
She said, “If my intuition is right, there isn’t much we can do as the Turks must be well-prepared. I’m just a little girl and don’t know much about military tactics. Instead of taking risks, it’s better to protect ourselves. Cousin Ling, why don’t you gather all the guards at the entrance of the Luo mansion to protect the Luo family? If something really happens, we can at least hold on for a while.”
As soon as she said that, everyone was stunned again. One second, Shen Miao spoke with the domineering aura of a commander, but the next, she humbled herself to that of an ignorant girl. The juniors of the Luo family did not understand what Shen Miao meant.
Luo Sa was the most frustrated. He looked at Shen Miao and wanted to flare up, but he could not find a reason to. He sat at the side in a sulk.
Luo Ling looked at Shen Miao meaningfully and said unexpectedly, “Then we’ll do as you say.”
Everyone sat down in the hall again. For some reason, the atmosphere became a little stiff because of Shen Miao’s words. Even Luo Qian and Luo Tan seemed to be nervous. Only Madam Ma and Madam Yu were unaware and were still instructing the chefs in the kitchen.
When the sky was completely dark, Luo Ling’s guard suddenly came to see him. Luo Ling asked him to come in. The guard looked anxious and whispered something into Luo Ling’s ear. Luo Ling’s expression suddenly changed and he looked at Shen Miao.
Shen Miao was sipping her tea leisurely.
