Chapter 437: He’s Dead (5)

Shen Miao smiled. “I was just lucky.”

“Jiaojiao, don’t be humble.” Madam Ma looked at her enthusiastically and said, “If not for you today, we would all be in trouble. Not only did you save the people in our family, but you also saved the people of Spring City. Thank you.”

Shen Miao laughed in her heart. In fact, she was really not being humble. In her previous life, a similar thing happened. It was just that Shen Miao could not remember the exact date. She only knew that it was a rainy day. The Turks attacked Spring City. Although Luo Sui rushed back with his troops in the end and saved Spring City from being taken down, he also paid an extremely tragic price. Countless people in Spring City were killed or injured.

At that time, in order to please Fu Xiuyi, she was working hard to learn military tactics. She also used this matter to ask Pei Lang for his opinion. That day, Pei Lang answered her like this. Pei Lang said, “The Turks are wary and don’t dare to rashly make a move. It’s not a good thing to fight them head-on. Instead, it’s better to create the illusion that the city is heavily guarded to confuse them. As long as Spring City can stall for time until the reinforcements arrive, they can solve the situation.”

Shen Miao knew that she did not have a tactical mind, but she trusted Pei Lang. Over the years in the palace, she had consulted with many excellent trusted aides of Fu Xiuyi and learned many ways to handle a situation.

Those were all gifts from Fu Xiuyi.

“Little Cousin, you’re so bad.” When Luo Qian heard the good news from the guards, the uneasiness in his heart dissipated and he started to tease Shen Miao. “You were confident that your plan could work, but you still tried to scare us like that. You really scared me to death.”

Luo Tan slapped his head. “How embarrassing! You’re worse than a little girl!”

“Aren’t you the same!” Luo Qian retorted.

Shen Miao smiled and did not comment. She naturally knew that everything would be resolved in the end, but she deliberately made it so serious to make everyone in the Luo family understand that it was difficult to even protect their loved ones, let alone the entire Spring City. Without enough strength, one could not protect people they wanted to protect. The Turks were eyeing them covetously, and sooner or later, they would make a comeback. When that day came, what would the Luo family do?

Only when they truly realized the danger would the people of the Luo family feel nervous. The juniors of the Luo family, Luo Lianying, Luo Liantai, and even Madam Ma and Madam Yu would do their best to persuade Luo Sui to reorganize the Luo army. As for Luo Sui himself, his responsibility was naturally to protect his family.

It was impossible for Shen Miao to persuade a stubborn person like Luo Sui alone. Moreover, because of her identity, it was inevitable that Luo Sui would be wary of her if she pushed too hard, but the Luo family was different.

Sometimes, when trying to achieve something, you didn’t have to use the most direct method. You had to be tactful. In her previous life, Shen Miao would say whatever she wanted and do it. In the end, she lost miserably. On the other hand, Consort Mei used tactful methods. She hated Consort Mei, but she wanted to learn something from her.

The next morning, when the sun came up, Spring City returned to normal.

The Turks suffered a heavy blow and retreated to the depths of the grassland. It seemed that they would not have the energy to make a comeback for a long time.

Although they had won the war, the atmosphere in Spring City was not relaxed, especially in the Luo family. The Turks’ invasion this time meant that Shen Miao’s terrifying speculation from a few days ago was proven right. With such a terrifying neighbor eyeing them covetously all day, no one could sleep peacefully.
