Chapter 296 Dress Up for Battle 5
For a moment, Wang Jinyi was a little confused. She searched in her mind what nonsense she had said, and then she heard an elder ask:
"Xunyang Wang's legitimate grandson Jinyi, I heard from your etiquette nanny that at such a young age you have a special understanding of women's independence? Tell us about it and let us listen."
It's over. Whatever I feared would come true. I was afraid that I would lose my image and someone would ask such a fatal question. It's impossible not to say it. I can only continue according to my original memory.
A few years ago, the etiquette nanny discussed this with me. At that time, I spoke too quickly and said that economic independence is the foundation of women's independence. Well, I owe you something. This time I really want to slap myself in the face for not keeping a close eye on things.
While Wang Jinyi was complaining about herself, she quickly prepared a speech in her mind. In order to cater to the thoughts of a young girl who was not very experienced in the world, she tentatively said:
"Jin'er has never been exposed to the so-called independence. She just thinks in her heart that no matter who wants to live and survive, the basis is of course economic independence. Otherwise, you will starve to death, so what freedom can you talk about?"
Several people. Zhu Laowan didn't expect that the child would resolve all their doubts with just a few words. Yes, he just thought that people need to eat and drink to survive. How could he understand what economic independence and the awakening of women's consciousness mean?
I used to think this child was a little weird, but now I think this child just thinks about things earlier. He is just more special than others.
Seeing the bamboo rats in the upper seats looking at each other and smiling with ease, Wang Jingyi felt relieved. Life is running fast. She is still a nine-year-old child. Not only the bamboo rats know this, but she also has to constantly remind herself to talk less and not talk nonsense.
Then the elders in the group gave him earnest instructions. Wang Ji accepted the instructions one by one. Thank you to each of you elders. But in his heart he felt that he was wronged.
I am now called the seniority of the Wang family. Everyone I meet is a junior. When will I be able to survive? I feel a little sad when I think about it.
After meeting up with the Wang family's caravan, the next morning, after the waiter had his meal, he took the dry food he had brought back from the inn. The carriages had already been parked outside the inn, so they got on their horses and the carriages and horses lined up in a line and slowly headed towards the north gate of the county town.
There were many carriages and pedestrians waiting to leave the city gate. The Wang family's team of carriages was magnificent and conspicuous.
The lead car had already arrived at the north city gate, but Wang Jinyi and his group's car was still far behind, more than 100 meters away.
The city gate creaked and slowly opened. The gate soldiers carefully checked the household registration of people entering and leaving the city. The gate moved slowly and quietly. The uncle notified Wang Jinyi in the carriage to get off the horse first and wait for identity verification. Got it. Wang Jingyi knew that this was a necessary procedure for the entrance inspection last night.
Sister Feng and the fifth sister stood beside Wang Jingyi's carriage respectively. Wang Xinyi stepped on the pedal to get off the carriage, ready to meet up with the tribesmen.
At this moment, a whistle sounded, and suddenly there was chaos in front of the city gate. Masked men started fighting with the soldiers who were checking the entry and exit of the city. Sister Feng reacted very quickly, blocked Wang Jinyi behind her, and said
Protect the lady.
Then he flew out with a few taps on the ground.
Wang Jiyi also subconsciously grabbed the crossbow on his left arm.
With the warning of the bloody disaster for half a month, Wang Jinyi was on pins and needles these days, and later he looked forward to this day coming soon. He really didn't want to wait anxiously every day for the second shoe to drop.
A team of light cavalry came galloping behind him and joined the fierce battle in front of the city gate. People avoided them one after another. Only a few children cried and almost no women wailed or shouted. There was no noise as the crowd hurriedly avoided them. The people were as well-behaved as if they had received military training.
Wang Jinyi stood behind Wu Mei, observing the development of events. He could see the quality of the people in the border town. The common people did not cause trouble, the soldiers were prepared, and the newly joined cavalry chased the masked man out of the city gate. The area in front of the city gate was not completely quiet yet.
The two men came on horseback from the city. The people in front of the city gate greeted them one after another, and some even rushed towards them.
At this moment, an accident suddenly occurred. Six young men in cloth appeared from all directions in the crowd. They covered their faces with cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed. They attacked the two people on horseback. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Be careful!"
"Major General, be careful!" "General!"
In a flash, the horsemen dodged and drew their swords. The horses turned their heads and rushed towards the masked man. The fight was tense. The young general's swordsmanship was sharp. Every move made a sound of wind and flashed with cold light. However, the six masked men were not ordinary people. They cooperated tacitly. One of them attacked from above, while the others stabbed at the horse's belly or side at the same time.
The young general's horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and kicked fiercely at the masked man who was charging towards him. Taking advantage of this gap, the general swung his sword backhand and cut the wrist of the man who was attacking from the side. But the masked man dodged by turning sideways and then threw a hidden arrow. The general hurriedly bent down to avoid it, and the arrow flew past his helmet.
The masked man in the other direction seized the opportunity and stabbed the general in the back with a sword. Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch his clothes, a soldier rushed out from the side, blocked the fatal blow with his body, and fell down with a muffled groan. The general roared like an enraged lion, and danced the sword in his hand faster, forcing several masked men to retreat again and again.
But the six men quickly adjusted their state and surrounded him again. The general realized that this was not a solution and he had to find the opponent's weakness. Suddenly, he found that one of them was half a beat slower every time he attacked, so he deliberately exposed a flaw to lure the man to attack. When the man got close, the general stabbed him in the throat with lightning speed. The man fell to the ground and died instantly, and the situation began to turn around.
The general who came immediately was in a hurry and was only wearing cloth. He had no armor on him. Both sides were injured in the battle. The charming woman beside Wang Jinyi was a little anxious.
"Miss, wait for me."
After saying that, he rushed to the New Year without hesitation. At the same time, civilians from all directions also joined the battle. The six masked men gradually became weak. They began to fight and retreat.
Wang Jingyi saw that there was no one around him, so he slowly backed away and approached the carriage. There was a man hiding behind the carriage, half of his face was exposed, observing the battle situation. He forgot the alarm in his heart, and backed away again to observe this man.
Wang Jinyi quietly went behind the carriage and observed secretly. At this time on the battlefield, Wu Mei was very agile and scratched the arm of a masked man in a few moves. The masked man cried out in pain, but his offensive did not decrease. But as more people joined in, the masked men found it increasingly difficult to resist. One of them shouted in a low voice, and the others quickly moved together, back to back, forming a circle to resist.
