The Feng family was ordered to find two officials from the capital. With such a big thing happening in Taozhou, those two officials must have wanted to find out the current situation. If they had not gone to look for Zhao Jingyun, they would have most likely gotten mixed up in the crowd.
Several people were hiding from the people in the government office while searching carefully. Fortunately, they had seen the portraits of the two people beforehand. After searching for a while, one of them discovered Xie Chen.
Mr. Xie lowered his head and stood behind a group of common people. He had tried to hide his figure, but the aura of a civil servant was still very obvious. Next to Xie Chen was Cao Ben.
The Feng family breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't find a farmer to hide in, otherwise they would have left empty-handed.
The Feng family passed the news to each other, and after a moment, six people gathered around them, and these six people slowly surrounded Xie Chen and Cao Ben.
This assassination must succeed.
After killing someone, if they can't escape, they will swallow the poison in their mouths. These people are the dead soldiers brought by Feng Antai just in case of emergency. They are the most trustworthy and should be used at the most critical moment.
The six of them had a tacit understanding and slowly narrowed the distance between them and Xie Chen. Xie Chen and Cao Ben obviously didn't notice.
Taking a few more steps forward, the dead soldiers grasped sharp weapons one after another. One of them raised his arm. An exquisite crossbow arrow was tied to his arm, and the tip of the arrow was quenched with poison.
Regardless of whether he would be discovered by the people around him, he rolled up his sleeves and aimed at Xie Chen.
Kill Xie Chen first, and the rest will pounce on Cao Ben.
Six people took action almost at the same time.
The moment the dead soldier pressed the button, a sharp blade slashed down, blood spurted out, and the arm with the crossbow bolts fell to the ground.
When people around saw this situation, they shouted and subconsciously ran away to avoid it.
Xie Chen and Cao Ben also noticed something strange at this time, and then they saw the dead soldiers mixed in the crowd. These people were easy to identify. The dead soldiers had cold faces and fierce eyes, staring straight at them.
Looking at them, it was obvious that this turmoil was caused by them.
Before Xie Chen and Cao Ben could react, one of the dead soldiers pushed away the person in front of him, came straight to Xie Chen, and threw out the seven-edged dart in his hand.
Fortunately, the dart was knocked down the moment it was thrown.
There was chaos at the door of the Ding family. The Ding family members who were locked in the yard took the opportunity to knock on the door, trying to protect the Ding family master and escape.
Zhang Yi rushed forward immediately with his servants.
The Ding family knew that staying in Taozhou would probably lead to a dead end. Fortunately, it was close to Xibo and they knew the merchants in Xibo, so they might as well go to Xibo first to avoid the limelight.
Besides, if there is a commotion outside, even if they send a letter to them, they already know that the Feng family will never sit still and wait for death. There must be soldiers and horses of the Feng family in Taozhou. They have already said in private that if something really happened,
Everyone must fight to the death together. No matter how powerful Zhao Jingyun is, he has too few people to take care of so many people.
The opportunity is only once, if you miss it, it will be gone.
The Ding family master thought about it like this, and sure enough, there were several noises in the sky. Someone fired arrows. This was the signal.
"Let's go, let's go now."
The master of the Ding family gave the order, and at this moment, the people under him tried their best to resist the officials.
Seeing that Zhang Yi couldn't hold on any longer, he watched the Ding family members rushing over. Fortunately, at this moment, several sticks stood in front of him.
Zhang Yi knew it was Zhao Xueli and the others.
Zhao Xueli and the others came to the city just to help the government office.
There was chaos everywhere. Cao Ben came to his senses first. He took a deep breath and had no time to pull Xie Chen, so he turned around and fled to the side. When he was escaping, he did not forget to shout: "Master Xie, hurry up, they are aiming at us."
Come."
After all, Xie Chen was old. When he was about to take a step, another dead man chased him, but this time he did not freeze in place because a hand grabbed his arm.
The urging voice came, and Xie Chen subconsciously followed the force forward.
The thin figure of the girl stood in front of him. She got a stick from somewhere and poked away a person who was surrounding him.
Of course Xie Chen couldn't see that there was a sharp weapon embedded in the front of the stick in the girl's hand.
This was made by Zhao Luoyang himself. The stick was held inconspicuously, and in times of chaos, no one paid attention to the details. The stick tied to it was a knife exchanged from the system, which was extremely sharp.
Shi Jiu even spent his life points to teach her how to use this thing to defend herself.
"Run this way, hurry up."
"There is an alley ahead, let's go through it." Zhao Luoyang pulled Xie Chen out of the crowd and kept looking around while talking.
In fact, with Huaiqing and the others here, they should be able to stop the assassins, but it is better to let Shi Jiu pay attention to the surroundings, and Shi Jiu will also show them the way.
"Go forward," Shi Jiu said. "After the intersection, go to the right. There is an alley between the two houses. Those people may not know it."
If you sneak in and go out from the other side of the alley, the assassins won't be able to find them unless they follow you.
Huaiqing and the others were able to take down the assassin who made the move, but Zhao Luoyang did this in case there were people ambush around.
Zhao Luoyang walked out from the other side of the alley and onto another street, watching the Yamen leading people to meet the assassin.
Xie Chen was panting as he ran, but fortunately he could feel the danger moving away from them.
"Thank you... sir?"
The voice sounded, and Xie Chen raised his head to meet the girl's gaze.
Zhao Luoyang was breathing heavily like Xie Chen: "Just now...that person...called you...Master Xie...what did it mean? Are you an official...master?"
If it weren't for the girl in front of him, Xie Chen felt that he would not be able to escape.
The girl's head was covered with sweat, and there were faint blood stains on the backs of her hands and arms. She didn't know if she was injured. There was a look of shock in her eyes, and now she was a little more surprised.
Facing such a girl, Xie Chen couldn't hide it anymore and said: "I am..."
"Come to Taozhou? Come to help us?"
Xie Chen saw that the girl's eyes lit up instantly, revealing a bit of hope: "Otherwise, why would those bad guys kill you?"
Xie Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed and was embarrassed to tell his purpose, but the girl obviously guessed something. She said anxiously: "Then can you help now? The city is in chaos. Mr. Zhao doesn't know if he can hold on.
Come on, you can think of a way."
Zhao Luoyang said and wiped his face with the back of his hand.
Shi Jiu didn't need to think about it, but he knew that Zhao Luoyang would definitely look even more embarrassed after doing this. However, he knew that Xiao Huanhuan was not just doing it for the charm, but also to see how much conscience this Master Xie Chen had.
Blood mixed with dirt stained Zhao Luoyang's face.
Looking at this girl, Xie Chen felt a little more guilty: "I...have no other way now." He couldn't mobilize troops to help, and he couldn't even use the censor's secret to send it to the capital, because there is no one yet.
Check everything thoroughly.
Zhao Luoyang's face was full of disappointment: "Just like this, no one will care? Then what are you doing in Taozhou? Are you watching them harm people?"
Xie Chen's chest felt tight, because of the situation in front of him, and more importantly because of the girl's words, he could tell that the girl did not speak clearly because of his identity.
She was clearly blaming him, what's the use of such an official, and even began to think that she was no different from those corrupt officials.
Because Xie Chen saw the regret in the girl's eyes.
Regret for saving him.
At the same time, the system's charm value began to fluctuate.

…
Zhao Luoyang said: "My lord, please be careful, don't be discovered by others, I have to go back and take a look."
Xie Chen frowned: "What are you going back for?"
"My father and uncle are both over there," Zhao Luoyang said. "I just took you to escape, and my milk is missing. If something happens to them, I... have to go and help."
The thin figure is even more useful than him at this moment.
Xie Chen's chest felt like a heavy weight was pressed down on him. The girl was right. What was the reason for him to come to Taozhou? Just for a casual visit?
Then there is no difference between him and Cao Ben. If something happened to the girl's family... why not because of him? After all, it was him who those people wanted to assassinate. Without this incident, the chaos would not have been so severe.

…
Shi Jiu continued to broadcast the charm value, and Zhao Luoyang said: "It seems that Mr. Xie still wants to do something when he comes to Taozhou this time." Otherwise, there would not be such emotional fluctuations.
Xie Chen said: "I can't help you now, but I will report today's matter to the court."
After saying this, Xie Chen sighed: "Taozhou was not like this in the past. At least when he was the governor of the state, it would not be like this. Maybe... he is right."
Zhao Luoyang was very curious as to who the "he" Xie Chen said was referring to.
