"No, our carriage is too conspicuous. If we continue to stay here, we will soon become the target of criminals. I must get off immediately and find a place to hide."
The guard listened to Zhou Jingyao's words, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
He quickly walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently lifted the curtain, and said to Zhou Jingyao anxiously:
"Young lady, you are absolutely right. Come, I will escort you to the city guard's house for shelter. There should be no one there at this time, so it will be relatively safe."
When Zhou Jingyao heard this, she hurriedly turned her head to look at the row of houses in the distance. After just a quick glance, she nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Then, she anxiously reached out and grabbed Xiao Taohong beside her, and the two of them jumped off the carriage quickly.
At the same time, the people who were traveling with them and the coachman did not dare to delay for a moment. They all bent down and ran quickly towards the house not far away.
As the saying goes: When it rains, it pours; when the ship is late, it encounters a headwind. If this person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will cause a lump in his teeth.
As expected, the vicious fugitive Chuan Tianshu actually saw Zhou Jingyao in the crowd at a glance.
Moreover, during the fierce fight just now, he had already learned that the woman in front of him was the daughter of Zhou Laogou, the man who had captured him.
At this moment, he looked at himself with several deep knife wounds, and blood kept flowing to the ground. He knew that he could not escape today. Since he could not get out, he might as well take one more person with him!
Hahaha……
Just because he couldn't kill Zhou and take revenge before he died, he didn't expect his daughter to appear. He had been searching for her everywhere, but finally she came to him without any effort. The daughter of his enemy actually came to his door!
Since I can't escape today, I might as well start with this girl. I heard that the woman surnamed Zhou loves her daughter the most, so killing her daughter should be more effective!
It happened so quickly that Chuan Tianshu raised his sword and killed two Dali Temple runners in the blink of an eye. Several guards of the Zhou family were also beaten to pieces by him.
Then, he used all his strength to swing the cart full of goods beside him, and swept across like a storm, knocking down a large group of people in an instant.
Although his body was covered with blood holes and his face was ferocious, he was fighting with his last breath and rushed towards Zhou Jingyao with murderous intent.
"Miss, be careful!"
Seeing the fugitive approaching aggressively, the guard responsible for protecting Zhou Jingyao's safety became anxious and shouted loudly.
He quickly raised the big knife in his hand and rushed forward to fight without hesitation, trying to block the opponent's attack.
However, this loyal guard underestimated the enemy's strength after all. He was knocked down by the rat after hearing two muffled "bang" sounds.
He was stabbed by the death row prisoner, and then kicked to the ground by him, rolling away in a mess.
Zhou Jingyao witnessed this scene with her own eyes and was immediately terrified. Although her heart was filled with fear, her instinct for survival still drove her to run forward desperately.
Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. In her panic, she accidentally stepped on a small stone, her foot slipped, and her body immediately fell forward involuntarily.
Xiao Taohong, who was following closely behind, was caught off guard and had no time to dodge, so she bumped straight into Zhou Jingyao, and then both of them fell heavily to the ground.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Xiao Taohong fell directly on Zhou Jingyao.
"ah……"
A crisp sound of "crack" was clearly heard, and as she screamed, Zhou Jingya felt a great pain at this moment, especially in her arm. It was terrible!
She was pressed so hard that she could hardly breathe, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. She wondered if her arm was broken.
Xiao Taohong quickly got up, crying and hugging Zhou Jingyao tightly, trying to pick her up: "Miss, what's wrong with you? I will carry you and run."
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind her. Zhou Jingya was startled and turned her head quickly to look.
You don't know until you see it. When she saw it, she was scared to death. She was immediately frightened out of her wits. Her big eyes suddenly widened and the blood color on her face disappeared in an instant, turning as pale as paper.
It turned out that the vicious rat was holding a large knife that was shining with cold light and was slashing towards her.
The sharp blade drew an arc in the air, bringing up a sharp gust of wind, and was about to cut her in half.
Just when Zhou Jingya thought she was about to die, a petite figure suddenly pounced on her like lightning.
"Xiao Taohong..." Zhou Jingya cried out in horror.
It turned out to be Xiao Taohong, who had always been by her side. At this moment, she flew onto her regardless of everything and pressed her tightly with her weak body.
At this critical moment, a dazzling arrow broke through the air like a meteor chasing the moon.
With a whoosh sound, the sharp arrow accurately hit the chest of the rat, and he immediately lost his strength.
In an instant, even the big knife held high in his hand lost its support and fell to the ground with a bang.
With a clang, the blade hit Zhou Jingya's body heavily, making a crisp and loud banging sound.
At the same time, the flying monkey opened its eyes wide, fell straight back, and hit the ground with a loud bang.
Bright red blood flowed out from his heart, quickly staining the surrounding ground red, forming a shocking pool of blood.
