Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

On this side, Shen Lingzhu, who was patrolling the courtyard gate with Master Fang, took the candied mung bean porridge handed to him by his aunt and said, "It's almost dawn, and the noise in the east has become much quieter.

"Big brother, second sister, uncle nine, have they had their drinks yet? I didn't see any smoke coming out of the kitchen."

"It's cooked with charcoal. Your mother sent it to them. Your ninth aunt is leading Jian Zhu to prepare the remaining fire-baked pancakes. I'll send them to you after they're done." Mrs. Hu watched her finish her drink and collect the bowls.

Master Fang handed over the empty bowl and thanked her. Just as Mrs. Hu turned around, a cry of "Help!" pierced the sky.

Shen Lingzhu climbed the ladder as quickly as possible to the roof of the back house and looked out. The dawn light in summer could still be seen very far away.

Especially when standing on an uncovered roof with good eyesight.

Not only Uncle Nine from the east house but also the neighbor from the west house did the same thing as her, but some of them were standing on the roof of the wing, while others were standing on the wall after climbing up the ladder.

In the yard a little further away, you can also see the shadow of someone leaning against the wall.

The shouting continued, and Shen Xiao was already preparing to go down from the next room: "Xiao Zhuzi and Xibian ask, I'll go back home immediately."

When Mrs. Hu wanted to tell Shen Lingzhu to be careful, her son and Miaozhu came running from the backyard, "Xiaozhu, what's going on?"

"It seems like there's some movement coming from someone's house in the west alley. I wonder if it's a thief." No matter how good Shen Lingzhu's vision was, he couldn't see clearly through several houses to the west.

After saying that, she called out to the neighbor on the west wall, "Uncle Dai, can you hear which house it is?"

The neighbor to the west replied, "Someone must have entered the house on the west side of Xi Que Lane, but there's no one in the alley, and no one opened the door."

Shen Miaozhu and the others were at the bottom of the house, so they naturally heard this. She immediately turned back to the top of the east wing wall and said to Shen Xiao, who was about to jump over, "Uncle Jiu, two of us need to go to the east courtyard to guard it, so that no one else can jump in from the alley.

If anything changes, we can always retreat here."

"Uncle Jiu, it seems the house at the west end of the alley was just broken into..." Shen Xianzhu also ran over to persuade him, but before he could finish, he heard Master Fang running from the back seat: "Be alert! There seems to be a fleeing army. Everyone, take up your weapons and come to the front!"

It turned out that when Shen Lingzhu wanted to come down from the wing room, Uncle Dai, who was sitting on the west wall, heard the neighbor to the west calling out a warning and he also whispered, "Miss Shen, be careful in the alley."

Then he quickly slid down the ladder and ran to the door with his family, while Shen Lingzhu continued to observe. After a few moments, he saw a group of people holding swords and knives running towards the west end of the alley in a panic.

She quickly retracted her head and asked Master Fang to tell her family to be alert and not to make any more pancakes.

Shen Miaozhu and the others no longer bothered about going to the defense of their uncle's courtyard, and let Hu and the others hide back in the main house.

Everyone took up their weapons and ran to the front. Even the male owner of the neighboring house to the east left his home and jumped over here, believing that there is strength in numbers.

When they brought another ladder and ran over to the back seat, they could clearly hear the sound of running in the alley.

Shen Miaozhu and Uncle Jiu were the first to climb onto the roof, and together with Shen Lingzhu, they looked out at the alley from behind the roof.

They found that there were only five people who were pulling off their armor while running, and one of them ran to the intersection of East Lane and Hutong.

When Shen Lingzhu heard him passing by his house, he turned around and called out to the four people behind him, "Come here quickly and throw him into the well."

She grabbed her senior sister's hand and said, "Cum?"

That well is used by everyone for drinking and drinking. Once it is polluted, it is not easy to clean it.

Moreover, these soldiers threw away their armor in panic, and it was obvious that they were not good people.

Three of our men, no, my eldest brother has also climbed up, each with a bamboo crossbow in his hand. If we don’t take advantage of this moment to shoot arrows at the enemy who is without armor, when will we do so?

"Shoot!" Shen Miaozhu made a quick decision, raised her bamboo crossbow and fired arrow after arrow.

Shen Lingzhu followed closely behind, and like her senior sister, she fired continuously.

"Ah!" Two people fell down in the alley in an instant. When the other three dodged, Shen Xianzhu and Uncle Jiu also shot arrows. Fortunately, there were several bamboo crossbows and a lot of bamboo arrows at home.

When they were in Beigou, they often went into the mountains with bamboo crossbows to hunt wild game. Shooting people is a much bigger target than shooting wild animals.

Moreover, at such a close distance and from such a high position, it was impossible not to hit the arrow. Even if the three remaining people in the alley waved their swords to block the arrows and used their removed armor to block while retreating, it was useless.

But even though the Shen family saw all five people fall to the ground, they did not dare to leave the room and open the door when they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Master Fang, who was holding the ladder with his neighbor, was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to shout at anyone to stop them and disturb them.

But then, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the sounds of chasing and killing getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but climb up the ladder and said, "Come down quickly."

Unfortunately, it was too late. Two horses rushed out from the east lane, one to the left and one to the right, and one of them turned into the alley.

"This man is wearing cloth armor, I don't know whether he is good or bad." Before Shen Xianzhu finished speaking, another unexpected event occurred.

Some of the five people who were not dead on the ground woke up and rolled away. One was stepped on and his screams echoed through the alley. Another person woke up and slashed at the horse's legs with a knife.

The horse was injured and in pain, so it threw the man off its back. The man yelled "bastard" and then chopped the injured man to death with his sword.

Shen Lingzhu saw a head rolling far away, and his ears buzzed as if he heard someone shouting: "Catch the rebel leader and you will receive a reward of 100 taels and a promotion."

At the same time, another group of soldiers rushed out from the east alley, shouting: "Brothers, the traitors are here, kill them."

Seeing this, the man decisively stabbed the horse's butt, making it rush towards the soldiers. He himself ran to the west and was about to run to Uncle Dai's door.

She immediately raised her crossbow and asked her senior sister, "Shoot?"

"Shoot." Shen Miaozhu would not show mercy since she had heard of the traitor.

Although bamboo arrows could not penetrate armor, when four crossbows were fired at the same time, the man was wearing summer cloth armor, and his arms, legs and feet were not well protected, so several arrows hit him.

The rebel, whose escape speed was slowed down, was soon surrounded by the soldiers who caught up with him. With strong bows and sharp spears approaching, his right hand was hit by a bamboo arrow and he fell to the ground with his sword, so he had to be captured.

A soldier asked, "Deputy Commander, this thief is the sworn brother of the bandit leader, Zhao Wubo. What a pity! Can everyone accept the reward?"

"Although I cannot claim the first merit, I should be able to claim the second-class reward. It was said by the Grand Marshal himself." After the deputy commander finished speaking, he took over the bamboo arrows that his men had pulled out from the captives and looked up.

Then he saw four people on the roof, and some of the soldiers were pointing bows at them.

He held down his men's bows and shouted, "Thank you for your help. I am Zhu Wenyuan, the commander of the East City Military Department. Who are you?"

Shen Xianzhu and the others heard their conversation clearly. He replied, "My father, Shen Huai, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, has been coming to our aid for a while. Has Commander Zhu seen him?"

Zhu Wenyuan shook his head and pointed at the dead and wounded soldiers on the ground: "Not at the moment. Many people are chasing the rebels. Are these also left by you?"

"Yes."

"We'll take them all away, and we'll report back and ask for your praise.

It will be dawn soon. We have been ordered to hunt down the rebels, so don't go out after the morning bell."

"As you command."

"Also, if you see thieves running around again, you can just shoot them."

"it is good."

"Let's go." Shen Lingzhu looked at the few bamboo arrows left in his hand and wondered how to replenish them.
