Zhou Jingyao, who was sitting in the car, was already frightened when she heard the shouts and the chaotic noise outside.
As the carriage began to shake violently, she turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the personal maid Xiao Taohong hugged her mistress tightly without hesitation, saying in a trembling voice, "Miss... don't be afraid, this servant is here to protect you!"
Although she said words of comfort, Xiao Taohong was actually scared out of her wits in her heart.
Zhou Jingyao, on the other hand, forced herself to remain calm, gently stroked Xiao Taohong's back and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I believe we will be safe!" But her heart was also in a panic.
"Coachman, quickly find a way to get the carriage to a safe place on the side of the road! The chaos at the city gate is too dangerous!"
Zhou Jingyao looked anxious. She leaned out and shouted loudly out of the car window. Her voice revealed obvious panic and uneasiness, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead due to nervousness.
When the coachman heard Zhou Jingyao's cry, he was also very anxious and was about to cry.
While trying to control the frightened horses, he responded, "No! Miss, there are too many people. We can't move the carriage at all!"
As he spoke, the driver's voice was filled with tears, and it was obvious that he had no idea what to do in such a predicament.
Time passed minute by minute. Listening to the sounds of fighting and crying outside, Zhou Jingyao's initial panic in the car was gradually replaced by calmness.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then turned to the guards in the car and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, don't panic. Look outside. It's Liu Wendu from the Dali Temple who's arresting people. We'll definitely be fine.
Don't forget, Dali Temple Supervisor Liu Wen is not someone to be trifled with. I believe they will be able to capture the fugitive."
After hearing Zhou Jingyao's words, Xiao Taohong, who was holding her beside her, felt a little relieved, and her originally trembling body also stabilized a little.
The guards looked at each other and nodded. Although they still looked solemn, they felt that what their young lady said made sense.
But they still surrounded the carriage tightly, their eyes constantly looking in the direction of the commotion, weapons tightly gripped in their hands, not daring to relax at all.
However, as the saying goes, what you fear will come true, something unexpected happened.
The vicious fugitive, Chuan Tianshu, kept scanning the area around the city gate with his rat eyes, and instantly locked onto the carriage closest to the city gate - the one Zhou Jingyao was riding in.
The rat's eyes darted around, as if he was rapidly calculating something in his mind. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and made an extremely difficult decision.
As a result, the next moment, he managed to withstand the sharp sword stabbed by Liu Wendu from behind, and he fought desperately and rushed to the city gate immediately.
Because as long as he can successfully hijack this carriage, his escape speed will be greatly increased!
At this moment, Liu Wendu watched helplessly as the condemned prisoner, Chuan Tianshu, who had been struck by his sword, actually managed to escape from his grasp. He was furious. His eyes widened, his face livid, and he shouted like thunder:
"Chase him now! We must not let this damned guy escape no matter what, otherwise all of us will be in trouble!"
Before he finished speaking, his men responded with a chorus of "Yes." The next moment, a group of them rushed towards the fleeing rat. For a moment, shouts of killing and the sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the street.
On the other side, the mad rat completely ignored the threat of the pursuers behind him, holding a big knife with a cold glow and killing anyone he saw. No one could stop him from escaping, and then he ran towards the carriage.
At this moment, the leader of the guards saw the aggressive Rat rushing towards them waving a big knife, and he suddenly cried out in his heart, Damn it, it's bad!
He knew very well that the situation was extremely critical, so he forced himself to calm down and immediately shouted loudly:
"Wu Jiu, leave one person to protect the young lady, and the rest of you will follow me to kill them all..."
The leader of the guards dodged nimbly and quickly drew out the sharp sword hanging from his waist with his right hand.
He roared angrily and took the lead to meet the flying rat galloping in front of him. In an instant, the two men's swords collided fiercely like thunder and lightning. For a while, sparks flew everywhere and the sound of metal clashing was endless.
Seeing this, the other guards raised their swords without hesitation and rushed towards the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, the scene fell into chaos. Only the crisp collision sounds of swords and knives clashing could be heard one after another, constantly entangled!
The crowd watching around were frightened by the fierce fighting scene before their eyes. Their faces turned pale and they couldn't help but scream in fear.
The sharp and piercing sounds of "Ahhhh..." resounded in the sky above the city gate.
"Oh no! People...are dead! Another...person is dead..." Someone pointed at the center of the battlefield with trembling hands, shouted with a pale face, and then fainted from fright.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyao, who was originally sitting in the carriage, heard the bursts of exclamations and screams coming from outside, and her heart could not help but panic. She bit her lip tightly, and her face was full of fear.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Jingyao made a prompt decision, turned to the guards who stayed by her side to protect her, and shouted anxiously:
