Chapter 140 - 134 Hostage (Extra update for the book friend "Si Qing Lan Yu")
Since Zhao Hanzhang left, County Magistrate Chai has been living in constant fear.
He fears the chaos army coming from Yu Yang and Xiping, which he has no troops to repel, and fears Zhao Hanzhang might have kidnapped his people, while he cannot keep an eye on Zhao Family’s mother and son.
But this fear soon turned into anxiety, because Zhao Family actually sent four children here, reportedly sent overnight from Xiping.
The chaos army surprisingly forced Zhao Family to send out their seed, and County Magistrate Chai instantly considered fleeing.
But he held on and didn’t dare run, just because of what Zhao Hanzhang said when persuading him before: If the situation becomes dire, he could surrender to preserve the citizens of the city.
County Magistrate Chai was in fear and anxiety when he received news of the battle in Xiping.
Word came that Xiping County’s magistrate sacrificially defended the city, Xiping County was breached, and casualties were severe;
Word came that Zhao Family had led troops to reclaim Xiping County and driven away the chaos army;
Word came that the person Zhao Family sent to reclaim Xiping County was a lady, Third Sister Zhao, who is Zhao Changyu’s granddaughter;
Word came that Third Sister Zhao was formidable, rebuilding the county, comforting citizens, distributing relief grain, and leading the county’s people in the autumn harvest;
