As soon as she said that, the surroundings fell silent.
A moment later, Madam Ma reacted. She smiled and said, “Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid. Those Turks are all outside the city and don’t dare to come in. Even if they do, the soldiers will chase them away. We’ve been safe and sound for so many years. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Shen Qiu also thought that Shen Miao was afraid and comforted her softly, “Aunt is right. Jiaojiao, don’t be afraid.”
Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Spring City was a small place at the border. At the border, nomads had always been harrassing. The Turks in the east were one of them. These Turks had strong bodies and strong horses, and they were very brave in battle. If they really fought, Ming Qi might be the one at a disadvantage. However, because Spring City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Luo family was famous, these Turks did not dare to advance and only caused small skirmishes at the border. Every August to October, the grassland where the Turks lived would be dry, and the Turks would enter Spring City to snatch things. The people were used to this, so they did not take it to heart.
However, Shen Miao remembered that this year, something big happened in Spring City.
She nodded and said casually, “Is the Luo army as brave as the Shen army? If that’s the case, if the Turks attack the city, we’ll definitely be able to resist.”
