Xie Linlang once again plunged into the workshop. Not only that, she also dispatched all the carpenters in the city to work in a small room. In addition, she collected iron from the whole city and let people put it into the furnace for re-smelting.

Everyone asked her what she was doing, and she said that she was making a counterattack weapon, which made everyone feel at ease. After all, Xie Linlang has the ability to "turn a stone into gold" and turn decay into magic, so the weapon she made at this time , must be extraordinary!

The water bandits over there finally started to attack the city after it got dark, but it could be seen that it was only a feint attack, because they only sent a few hundred people to attack the city, and they retreated quickly after being stoned down by the officers and soldiers on the city wall up.

But their behavior made the people in Xiangcheng very nervous, and the officers and soldiers who were replaced day and night did not dare to be sloppy at all, and reported to Xie Linlang immediately if there was any situation.

After Xie Linlang heard the news of their siege, she rushed over from the workshop overnight, but when she arrived, those people had already retreated.

"what's the situation?"

Listening to her question, none of the soldiers who had just fought an offensive and defensive battle had the strength to return. The officers and soldiers in such a small place like them can't even kill a chicken on weekdays. God knows that hundreds of fierce water bandits came to attack the city just now How nervous were they?

At this time, Mr. Huang came out. During the critical period, they couldn't be idle, so he discussed with Mr. Liu and exchanged guards here. The defensive command just now was done by him. With them, Xie Linlang Still very relieved, just listen to him.

"Those water bandits only feigned an attack, and the ladder was set up. They didn't succeed in a surprise attack, so they retreated directly."

He thought for a while and added, "They came here by swimming. Although those boats sent them off, they stopped far away from the shore. I don't know why."

Xie Linlang heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "There can only be two reasons. One, they are afraid that they will get too close and cause you to be alert too early. Another possibility is that they have heavy objects on board, and if they get too close There is a possibility of being stranded in the shallows."

If it’s the former, it’s okay, if it’s the latter... She is a little curious about who the other party’s commander is, and it’s so painstaking to attack such a small city like her, it seems that she knows her well...

Huang Lao felt that what she said was reasonable, and at the same time admired her quick thinking, he said.

"Then we should also be prepared? In case they have any offensive weapons on board, wouldn't it be very passive for us?"

Xie Linlang said, "I have asked Confucianism to prepare. There are no trebuchets in the city, but it is not difficult to build two, but this group of people may come to attack the city tomorrow. At that time, please invite Huang Lao and Mr. Liu Help me be more mindful.

If they still pretend to attack, then you can solve it yourself and repel them. If there are other abnormalities, you can inform me. In addition, I will send more people to help. Although Xiangcheng has few officers and soldiers, there are many young men. "

Huang Lao nodded, and in turn comforted her, "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much. Although these water bandits are brave, we are not without soldiers and horses. Your Highness said before leaving that we must protect your safety, so I have already Let the elite soldiers from the Red River Valley enter the city secretly, even if these water bandits really attack, we are no match for water battles, but they may not be able to get cheap in land battles!"

Xie Linlang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "It's just thanks to you, if it weren't for your people to support me, I really wouldn't be so safe."

Huang Lao smiled and said, "Mr. Xie is serious. You are the backbone of this city. If we old people can contribute a little bit, we will be very happy."

Xie Linlang nodded, and went down the city wall without saying much.

If she had time, she really wanted to repair the southern city wall. After all, she didn't take care of it before, but now it's too late. The only thing she can do is to prevent those people from getting on the wall at all!

The next day, the water bandits continued to attack the city in the middle of the night, and there were still hundreds of people, and they also swam over without approaching the boat.

It was Mr. Liu who was keeping watch that night. After careful observation, he suddenly discovered something was wrong.

He found that the sending of those ships seemed to be only part of the purpose. Their real purpose was to try, to see where the big ship went, so that it could be the closest to the wall and not be stranded.

And they were busy defending the city, so they didn't pay attention to what the boat over there did after sending it off. Only he saw it.

Those boats were not only testing the water, but also looking for the weakest wall. Under the darkness, the closest they were to the wall was only a dozen meters away!

Are they looking for a place to land? No, it's definitely not that simple!

After hearing the message sent back by Mr. Liu, Xie Linlang became more and more sure that the other party had made full preparations. The leader must have known her, or had figured out the bottom line of Xiangcheng. Zhou Zhang, being careful, isn't it ridiculous?

So, during the daytime of the next day, Xie Linlang came to the southern city wall again and shouted with internal force.

"Why don't you come out and have a chat? Fighting hurts peace. Maybe we can reconcile if we have a chat?"

Her voice traveled extremely far on the river, and after a while, the boat more than 100 meters away really moved.

They came over in a mighty way, and besides the water bandits, there was another person standing on the leading boat. When she saw who that person was, Xie Linlang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there was probably no chance for reconciliation, and she would not stop dying. More or less.

It was a thin and tall man, dressed in gray, he looked no different from other water bandits, the only difference was that he had a burn scar on his face and a white gauze wrapped around his neck. The bloodthirsty eyes of the double-yin bird stared straight at it, as if there was an evil spirit hiding behind it.

Xie Linlang turned the prayer beads in her left hand and faced him across the lake. At this time, the distance between them had narrowed to tens of meters, and the boats on the river were arranged in an orderly manner, showing an inverted triangle shape.

On the tip of the triangle, Lian Ke, a man wrapped in white gauze, smiled and spoke. His voice was not as gloomy as before, but extremely hoarse, as if his throat had been damaged by smoke.

"meet again……"

He showed his pale teeth with a smile, his eyes sparkled with excitement, "Xie Linlang, I haven't seen you in half a year, you are more beautiful than before!"

What he said made the people on the city wall a little strange, but Xie Linlang's eyes suddenly sank, and she raised her eyebrows.

"Your name is Lian Ke now, right? Well, Lian Ke, you are really lucky! You have escaped from me twice. If I were you, if I managed to get my life back, I would go as far as I can." It's far away, but you still come, insisting on jumping repeatedly on the verge of death, do you really think you have a third chance?"
