Chapter 817 Sudden Attack
"yes."
Nai Luotian said again: "I have calculated your fate, and there is no bad omen."
He Chunhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Naraku is really good at people's hearts and knows exactly what he cares about most at the moment.
"As for He Lingchuan——"
He Chunhua pricked up his ears.
"His fate is still a little vague, but generally it will be a pattern of misfortunes first and blessings later, which is in line with our expectations." Nai Luotian said lightly, "The fate of the descended body is entangled with the gods, so it is difficult to calculate. "
He Chunhua seemed to understand but didn't understand: "The first misfortune means God descended?"
"That's not a bad thing to say." The arrival of the gods was of course a catastrophe for Pi Nang.
"What about Houfu?"
Does Houfu refer to the success of Narakuten?
After all, blessings and disasters are both for the body of "He Lingchuan". From his own point of view, the pain, unknown, and inability to control the body caused by the arrival of the gods are definitely disasters; but after the arrival of the gods, can the improvement of this body be said to be a blessing? Perhaps they succeeded in seizing the Dafang Pot and leaving the Panlong Ruins?
Or maybe, this blessing also means that they have finished their trip to the Panlong Desert and have smooth sailing from now on?
He Chunhua was confused and had another concern:
Could Nai Luotian be lying to him? Does it indicate that He Lingchuan will have good luck in the future, so he should just rest assured and pray to God?
But how could "divine descending" be a blessing to Chuan'er?
Before Nai Luotian could answer, there was a sudden noise outside.
At this time, it was not clear in the east, but He Chunhua heard chaotic footsteps outside the inn, and someone screamed "Help".
He had just left the front line and was extremely sensitive to the sound of fighting. He rushed to the window in two steps to reach out, and then he remembered that he was still communicating with the gods.
As soon as I turned my head, the incense on the table went out, and the gray smoke in the air also dispersed.
Nai Luotian has left.
He Chunhua then opened the window and looked outside:
Fire shot into the sky.
He has lived in Blackwater City for almost twenty years. At a casual glance, he knew that the location of the fire was the government office and the armory, and his heart suddenly thumped:
Oops.
Who would attack these two locations first? Either rebels or foreign enemies!
Blackwater City is located in the west, and domestic rebels will not attack here, so the only possibility -
Alas, it seems that the eldest son’s reminder at night is not unreasonable.
He Chunhua quickly dressed and ran to knock on the door of his eldest son's house: "Chuan'er!"
After knocking several times, He Lingchuan didn't answer.
He Chunhua simply broke the door latch and pushed the door open.
The house was empty.
Where are people?
He was startled when he heard his eldest son's voice coming from behind: "Dad, something happened outside!"
He turned around and saw that his son was neatly dressed and his hair was meticulous, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been?"
"Qiu Hu and I caught some grasshopper frogs and are roasting them in the backyard." He Lingchuan stretched out his left hand and grabbed a few bamboo sticks. The fat grasshoppers and long-legged frogs skewered on them still smelled of burning.
Qiu Hu also appeared not far away.
In fact, when He Chunhua was alone behind closed doors, He Lingchuan did not want to get too close to him, whether sleeping or doing other things.
He wasn't sure if this cheap dad would do something secretly and summon Nai Luotian to the world when he wasn't prepared.
As long as He Lingchuan is not around, this ceremony cannot be held.
The situation was urgent now, and He Chunhua didn't notice this abnormality. He just said: "Follow me to find Sheriff Hu!"
The disciples of Rongshan gathered quickly, and He Chunhua's personal soldiers also rushed over. More than a hundred people gathered together and rushed to the official office. He Lingchuan did not hide his clumsiness and reminded: "Send someone to protect the north gate."
He Chunhua was stunned.
Yes, he had analyzed it himself before and concluded that the intruder must be a foreign enemy.
No matter how much trouble the other party makes, as long as the north gate of the city is guarded, the turmoil in the city will calm down sooner or later.
"Zhao Qinghe!"
When Zhao Qinghe heard the news, he came out and led fifty people to the north gate.
At this time, He Chunhua rushed to the official office and saw the officials and soldiers running around like headless flies. The only figure of Governor Hu was nowhere to be seen.
He grabbed a small official and asked, "Where is Commander Hu?"
He Chunhua had been a county guard in Blackwater City for many years, and this clerk was originally his subordinate. When he saw the old leader, he immediately calmed down and said, "County Commander Hu is not here!"
He Chunhua frowned and raised his chin to the soldier: "Go to the Hu family to find him!"
The soldiers left in response, but within a hundred meters, an official rushed over, his face turned pale: "Congratulations, sir! Governor Hu was beheaded at home!"
Less than three hours after leaving the restaurant, Commander Hu was gone? He Chunhua's heart tightened: "Who did it?"
"His family members identified a few strong men who climbed over the wall and killed him with two stabs!"
He Chunhua immediately took out the token from his arms and shouted in a loud voice: "I will take over the affairs of Blackwater City for the time being. Where are the patrol guards?"
The fire in the official office behind the crowd has not been extinguished.
But He Chunhua has been an official here for more than ten years, and everyone from officials to neighbors recognizes him. He shouted three times in a row, and people became less panicked and began to obey orders.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the chaotic situation was greatly improved. The leader of the city defense army also came to report and welcomed He Chunhua, the old superior, to return to power. The murderer who attacked Governor Hu, He Chunhua, also issued a wanted order on the spot.
But there was no relief on his face.
The other party ran to Blackwater City and started setting fires and killing people. It couldn't be just a whim, right?
At this moment, a rapid bell rang in the north:
"Dang-dang-dang!"
The panic in the city that had finally subsided has risen again, because in this important border town, this kind of bell has only one meaning:
Foreign enemies invade!
The bells of Blackwater City have not rang for almost ten years.
He Chunhua immediately led his men to the north gate.
The area of Heishui City is less than half the size of Shihuan City, the secondary capital. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to run from the government office to the north gate.
The battlements came into view, and shouts came from the front. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was He Chunhua's personal soldiers chasing a few men into the residential area.
There was chaos and exclamations all along the way.
He Lingchuan saw at a glance that the man being chased looked familiar.
"Qiu Hu, leave him alive."
Qiu Hu nodded and hooked his finger. The three Rongshan disciples followed closely and went into the fork.
He Chunhua went more than a hundred steps forward to the north gate. There was another chaos here:
The city gate was still closed, but it was banging.
Dozens of He Chunhua's personal soldiers pushed hard behind the door to prevent the door bolt from failing.
The remaining dozen people and the city defense army who had just arrived stood on the city gate and shot arrows down.
The enemy is already at the gate? So fast!
Zhao Qinghe strode forward and said, "Sir, those thieves took advantage of the chaos to attack and kill the gate guards, and wanted to open the gate, but we rushed over to stop them."
After saying that, he pointed to the gate tower, and everyone saw more than a dozen bodies lying on the ground, some of them were guards, and some were thieves.
There were also fresh blood stains on the wall, which showed that the fight here was quite fierce.
"The remaining seven or eight people fled to the market."
He Chunhua was secretly shocked. If Zhao Qinghe had not arrived in time, the gates of Blackwater City would have been wide open, allowing the enemy to march straight in.
