The carriage stopped at the river bank, and Wei Yunlan and three others got out of the carriage.
The guards from Tianshu Pavilion who were following the carriage also dismounted, drew their swords from their waists, and cleared a path through the crowd.
Seeing this, several servants who were caught in the crowd quickly broke free and joined the battle.
Following the path he had cleared through the crowd, Zou Yun nimbly slipped in and with a few strokes he knocked out several of the most noisy people in the crowd.
He had just knocked one person unconscious, and before he could move away, he saw another person falling down next to him. He looked over in surprise and saw Fourth Miss Bai standing behind the fallen person.
Seeing her looking at her, Miss Bai Si, who was holding a wooden stick in her hand, grinned and showed a silly smile.
Zou Yun was stunned by this smile.
In such a chaotic situation just now, this girl was able to keep up with my movements!
No wonder Miss Wei was willing to take her on the road, and the Bai family was also confident in letting her follow.
On the other side, Wei Yunlan and Suihe did not join the crowd, but took advantage of the chaos to climb onto a small boat on the shore. Suihe was very strong, and after untying the hemp rope, she used the paddle to poke the wooden pillar that tied the boat, and the boat floated forward a long distance with the force.
"Go a little further, we'll go over here." Wei Yunlan pointed to the shore, in the direction behind the women surrounded by the crowd.
As he spoke, he shook the paddle at the bow of the boat vigorously to control the direction and prevent the boat from straying too far from the shore.
By going around from their position, they could see the scenes on the shore more clearly.
Of the three large pots that were originally placed there, two were already empty, and the other one had fallen off the shelf, with the remaining half of the porridge spilling all over the floor.
In front of the crowd, the refugees, who should have cherished the food, trampled on the scattered rice grains and stretched out their hands to the maids and servants who were protecting the nobles, as well as the three nobles they were protecting, grabbing the food in a frenzy.
A very small number of people squatted down and tried to scoop up a handful of rice grains on the ground with their palms, but they were pulled hard by the people next to them.
"You are so stupid, how much are these brown rice worth?"
"See those women? The hairpins and jewelry on their heads are worth more than dozens of taels of silver! Even the satin on their bodies is worth several taels of silver. Even if you tear off a piece of cloth, it is much more valuable than this pot of porridge!"
After hearing what was said, the man who was squatting stood up immediately and rushed into the crowd with red eyes.
The scene before one's eyes makes one angry.
But rather than being angry, he was more worried about the safety of the dozen or so people trapped in the crowd.
"Let's go faster." Wei Yunlan felt that he was about to use up all his strength.
The bow of the boat finally rushed to the shore, and was less than ten feet away from the crowd on the shore.
Apparently, Wei Yunlan was not the only one who discovered the possibility of taking a detour through the water.
The refugees also discovered that they could swim to approach the "noble" who was protected by the maid from behind.
Wei Yunlan stood at the bow of the boat and saw bubbles suddenly appearing on the calm water surface. Then a head emerged from the water, grabbed the shore and tried to climb up.
"There's someone in the water!" Wei Yunlan shouted loudly.
Seeing the man about to climb ashore, he reached out to grab the ankle of the woman in the middle who was dressed in flowing brocade.
Wei Yunlan quickly pulled out two silver needles from the syringe tied to his wrist and threw them out with all his strength.
The tiny silver needle pierced into the body without making any sound.
The man, who had touched the woman's ankle, leaned back suddenly in pain and let out a shrill scream.
The woman dressed in flowing cloud brocade was startled and turned around, just in time to see the man falling back into the water with his eyes wide open in horror.
Then, he saw Wei Yunlan standing at the bow, who had not yet had time to withdraw his hand.
Bubbles appeared on the water surface again.
The man just now was not the only one who dived into the water during the chaos.
Seeing Wei Yunlan shouting out their plan, several people in the water angrily climbed onto the bow of the boat.
The Liuyunjin woman who was just rescued by Wei Yunlan was full of anxiety and kept shouting, "Be careful!"
"Be careful, someone is coming up the bow!"
As early as when the bow of the ship sank slightly, Wei Yunlan became wary.
As the woman shouted, she quickly jumped back from where she was, holding a dagger in one hand and a few silver needles between her fingers in the other, ready for battle.
At the same time, Suihe also stepped forward from the stern. When those men grabbed the bow and exposed their upper bodies, they were kicked by one of them. Before they could climb onto the deck, they were kicked back by another man.
When I stuck my head out again, I felt a sharp pain between my eyebrows or neck, and then everything went black before my eyes, and I completely lost consciousness.
There was another person who took advantage of the chaos to sneak up from the stern.
Just when he was about to get behind Wei Yunlan, the black cloud lying on the boat suddenly jumped up and bit his shoulder tightly. Wei Yunlan also turned around and stabbed straight out with the dagger in his hand.
Under the man's horrified gaze, Wei Yunlan pulled out the dagger, pointed it at his chest, and stabbed it again with force.
Blood splattered everywhere.
There was an extra body on board.
"Miss, are you okay?" Suihe looked over worriedly.
Wei Yunlan shook his head and pointed to the shore, "Come closer."
The river water at the bow was dyed red with blood, and the ship docked smoothly without any hindrance.
There were still a few people hiding in the water, but the tragic scenes of those people just now were still vivid in people's minds, so no one dared to step forward and provoke the female killer on the boat.
Several refugees gathered on the shore were also stunned by the scene on the water.
The movements of his hands slowed down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zou Yun, Bai Si Girl, Tianshuge and others who rushed over dispersed the refugees who were surrounding them in one fell swoop.
Several servants who had followed them into the crowd also hurriedly pushed away several refugees who were still holding on to the nanny.
The situation was finally under control.
Seeing this, the maids and servants with disheveled clothes breathed a sigh of relief, turned their backs and straightened their clothes.
The three nobles they protected behind them were not in any better condition either. The pearl hairpins and jewellery they wore on their heads had been thrown away long ago, their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were in a mess.
Fortunately, no one suffered any substantial injuries.
Only one maid had her hand stepped on in the chaos, and the entire back of her hand was bruised and purple. She would probably have to rest for a long time.
The refugees were not stupid. When they saw these people with great martial arts skills coming to help the "nobles" who were distributing porridge, they knew that they would not get anything good today, so they wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
Wei Yunlan and the nobles are more skilled.
But we lost because we had fewer people.
With just a few or a dozen people, there is no way they can control two or three hundred of them!
However, just as they were running away in the opposite direction of the river bank, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a team of soldiers came from the official road.
The leading officers and soldiers dismounted from their horses.
After finding the brocade woman standing in the crowd, he knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Princess Daning."
"Your humble servant Xue Lian is late in coming to your rescue!"
