Xie Linlang plunged into the workshop again. Not only that, she also dispatched carpenters from all over the city to work in a small room. In addition, she gathered iron in the city and let people put them in the furnace to re-quench them.

When everyone asked her what she was doing, she said she was making counterattack weapons, which made everyone feel much more at ease. After all, Xie Linlang has the ability to "turn stones into gold" and turn decay into magic. Then the weapons she made at this time must be extraordinary!

After it got dark, the water bandits finally started to attack the city, but it was obvious that they were just feinting attacks, because they only sent a few hundred people to attack the city. After being smashed by the officers and soldiers on the city walls with stones, they quickly retreated.

But their behavior made the people in Xiangcheng very nervous, and the officers and soldiers who replaced day and night did not dare to be careless at all. Whenever there was any situation, they would immediately report to Xie Linlang.

After hearing the news of their siege, Xie Linlang rushed over from the workshop overnight, but by the time she arrived, the people had already retreated.

“What’s the situation?”

After hearing her question, none of the soldiers who had fought an offensive and defensive battle had the strength to return. Officers and soldiers from small places like them couldn't even kill a chicken on weekdays. God knows how nervous they were when hundreds of fierce water bandits came to attack the city just now?

At this time, Mr. Huang came out. In an extraordinary period, they could not be idle, so he discussed with Mr. Liu and exchanged his guard here. He did the defensive command just now. With them, Xie Linlang was still very relieved and only listened to him.

"Those water bandits just pretended to attack, and the ladder was set up. They failed to succeed in the raid, so they retreated directly."

He thought for a while and added, "They came here, and although the boats sent them a piece, they stopped a long way from the shore, for some reason."

When Xie Linlang heard this, he thought for a while and said, "There can only be two reasons. First, they are afraid that they will get too close, which will arouse your alert too early. It is also possible that there are heavy objects on their boats. If they get too close, they may be stranded in the shallows."

If the former is fine, if the latter... she was a little curious about who the other party's commander was. It took such pains to attack such a small city as her. It seems that she knows her very well...

Mr. Huang felt that she was right, and at the same time, he admired her mind so quickly, he said.

"So should we be prepared? If there are any offensive weapons on their ship, wouldn't it be very passive for us?"

Xie Linlang said, "I have asked Ru Nian to prepare. There are no catapults in the city, but it is not difficult to build two. However, this group of people may come to attack the city tomorrow. At that time, please ask Mr. Huang and Mr. Liu to help me and pay more attention.

If they still attack, then you will solve the problem by yourself and defeat them. If there is any other abnormality, you will notify me again. In addition, I will send more people to help. Although Xiangcheng has few officers and soldiers, there are many young men."

Old Huang nodded and comforted her, "Mr. Xie doesn't have to worry too much. Although these water bandits are brave, our subordinates are not without soldiers. His Highness said before leaving, we should protect your safety, so I have let the elite soldiers from the Red River Valley secretly enter the city. Even if these water bandits really attack in, we are not opponents in the water battle, but when fighting land battles, they may not be able to get a bargain!"

Xie Linlang was relieved after hearing this, "It's just thanks to you. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't be so stable."

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "Young Master Xie is serious. You are the backbone of this city. We old people are already very happy that we can do our best."

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

If she had time, she really wanted to repair the city wall in the south. After all, she didn't take care of it before, but now it's too late to repair it. The only thing she can do is to keep those people at all without the chance to go to the wall!

The next day, the water bandits continued to attack the city late at night, with hundreds of people, and the boats were not approaching and swam over.

Mr. Liu was watching that night. After careful observation, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He found that the ships sent people seemed to be part of the purpose. Their real purpose was to try and see where the big ship could go, closest to the wall and not be stranded.

And they were busy guarding the city and did not pay attention to what the ship there did after sending people, only he saw it.

Those ships were not only testing the waters, but also looking for the weakest wall. With the night, the closest they were only ten meters away from the wall at a time!

Are they looking for a shore location? No, it must be that simple!

After hearing the oral message sent by Mr. Liu, Xie Linlang became more and more sure that the other party had made sufficient preparations. The leader must have known her or found out the bottom of Xiangcheng. Otherwise, a mere small city would have been so complicated and careful, wouldn’t it be ridiculous?

So, during the day the next day, Xie Linlang came to the south wall again and shouted with his internal force.

"It's better to come out and talk about it if you are on the other side? Fighting hurts the harmony. Maybe we can reconcile it after a chat?"

Her voice was very far away on the river. After a while, the boat more than a hundred meters away really moved.

They came over in a mighty manner. In addition to the water bandits standing on the ship, there was also a person standing. When they saw who that person was, Xie Linlang felt a little shocked, thinking that there was probably no chance to reconcile, and it was almost the same to never die.

It was a thin and tall man, dressed in dust, looking no different from other water bandits. The only difference was that he had burn scars on his face and white gauze wrapped around his neck. His sinister and bloodthirsty pupils stared at him, as if there was an evil ghost hidden behind him.

Xie Linlang turned the Buddhist beads on his left hand and looked at him across the lake. At this time, their distance was closer to dozens of meters. The ships on the river were arranged in an orderly manner, showing an inverted triangle.

On the tip of the triangle, Lian Ke, a man wrapped in white veil, smiled and spoke. His voice was not as gloomy as before, but rather hoarse as if his throat was smoked.

“Meet again…”

He smiled and showed his pale teeth, and his eyes were filled with excitement, "Xie Linlang, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you are more beautiful than before!"

His words made the people on the city wall a little strange, and Xie Linlang's eyes suddenly sank and he raised his eyebrows.
