The remaining two men's expressions changed drastically, shocked by this sudden turn of events. They stood there stunned for a long moment before reacting. Enraged, they brandished their knives and cursed fiercely.
"You bitch, you're asking for it!"
"You dare kill my brother? I'll skin you alive!"
Jiang Wanwan gripped the blood-stained knife, her red lips curving into a wicked smile. "I'll not only kill him, I'll kill both of you!"
"You bitch! How dare you be so arrogant! I'll teach you a lesson today!" The two men brandished their large machetes, trying to grab Jiang Wanwan immediately. To their horror, they discovered that their legs were completely immobile.
Not only that, but a series of fine, dense pains spread throughout his body, and when he exerted force with both hands, he couldn't even hold onto the large cleaver.
"Clang!"
The knives slipped from their hands and fell to the ground.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, the two men's faces turned utterly terrified. "You bitch, what have you done to us?"
Jiang Wanwan approached the two step by step, the dagger in her hand dripping bright red blood. Her red lips curled slightly, and her eyes were wicked, like a female demon who had walked out of hell.
"Hehehe, of course it's drugging."
As she spoke, the dagger in her hand moved with lightning speed, slicing the necks of both men in the blink of an eye.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two bodies crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Jiang Wanwan turned around and looked at the battle situation on Qi Zhao's side. Just then, the last remaining sharp-nosed monkey was also neatly dealt with.
The two exchanged a glance and smiled slightly at each other before nimbly mounting their horses.
Those refugees who had been eyeing Jiang Wanwan and her companion earlier were all thankful that they hadn't blindly tried to rob them after witnessing their martial prowess.
Qi Zhao urged his horse onward on the journey.
Just then, the frail woman, who had been holding her dying child, was hiding alone in front of a clump of grass, secretly weeping. Jiang Wanwan glanced around for a moment, and taking advantage of the fact that the refugees dared not look them in the eye, she quickly pulled a steamed bun from her bundle and threw it into the frail woman's arms.
A steamed bun fell from the sky, and the thin woman's eyes lit up. She quickly hid the bun in her bosom. When she looked up, she only had time to catch a glimpse of a horse carrying two people galloping along the road.
Dust flew up, blinding her.
"Thank you!" the thin woman said softly, tears welling in her eyes.
As we traveled towards Anhuai County, we saw refugees everywhere. Some traveled in twos and threes, while others were traveling alone, and still others were from the same village fleeing famine together.
Those who were alone were in a terrible situation. If they had nothing on them, they were fine, but if they did, their belongings were all stolen by other refugees.
The displaced people were mostly ordinary people and farmers; their faces were blank, and their eyes were filled with despair.
In just over half a month, a drought will arrive, and the number of dead will be countless. Coupled with the civil war within the royal family, that will be hell for ordinary people.
Thinking of this scene, Jiang Wanwan sighed inwardly.
I sympathize with these refugees, yet I am also the most powerless to help them.
When these refugees saw Jiang Wanwan and Qi Zhao, many of them had eyes that gleamed with greed, staring at the two of them with eager intent. But after seeing Qi Zhao's blood-stained sword, almost none of the refugees dared to rob them rashly.
Of course, some desperate criminals, driven by greed, rushed forward to steal their food, disregarding everything else. But the two of them worked together to defeat them.
