There were people standing on both sides of the river bank, holding torches and bows and arrows in their hands, all pointing at the man in the middle. This scene matched her dream.
Liu Ruyan's heart tightened. She held on to the edge of the window and shouted to the man on the boat, "Pull across quickly!"
The man was wearing a black hat, his thick sleeves were empty, and he had only one hand holding the oar. The man's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
He turned the bow and the flower boat sailed towards the shore.
The people on the shore had completely lost their minds. Li Biao was stabbed several times. There were two daggers stuck in his arms, and he was bleeding. He waved the sword and firmly protected Shen Yanqing behind him, "Sir, You hurry up, Magistrate Ma’s guards are probably already on the way, you just need to escape and you’ll be safe!”
Li Biao was already red-eyed. He tried his best to protect his master today, but he felt sorry for Madam Su and Dalinzi who were still waiting for him to return. The blood on his body was flowing more and more, and he felt dizzy in front of his eyes.
"Shut up!" Shen Yanqing held his shoulders, "Speak less and save some strength."
As Li Biao said, Ma Liangji has now received the news that he is besieged by the victims, and will soon send people to rescue him. As long as they persist for a while, they can wait for the reinforcements.
However, these victims were not stupid. Shen Yanqing could figure it out, and they naturally knew it. A low shout rang out from the crowd.
"Brothers, we have no retreat. Anyway, we will either starve to death or be burned to death. We might as well let this dog officer pay for our lives! Today we will burn him to death first!"
"Burn him to death, burn this dog official to death!"
"Let him pay with his life!"
More and more people are losing their minds. In the firelight, the eyes of those victims are like hungry wolves, full of violence. Shen Yan's clear eyes flashed solemnly. These people will not give up until they see blood today.
Shen Yanqing looked at the bottomless river behind him, turned around and asked, "Can you swim in the water?"
Li Biao lost too much blood and was exhausted. Hearing his words, he nodded subconsciously, "Yes!"
"Okay, avoid their arrows..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless arrows coming towards him. Shen Yanqing held Li Biao's shoulders and quickly retreated, shouting in his mouth, "Jump!"
"Bang!" The two people jumped into the water, causing a huge splash. The wounds on Shen Yanqing's body were soaked in the water. He was briefly dizzy because of the pain. The people on the shore kept shooting arrows into the water. Li Biao tried his best to resist. His body was covered with wounds, and the blood dyed the river red.
"The officers and soldiers are coming! Escape quickly!"
Just when they were about to lose their support, Ma Liangji's guards finally arrived. There was an uproar on the shore. The victims who had been clamoring just now suddenly panicked and dispersed. Officers and soldiers ran over to save them. Li Biao was exhausted and fainted completely.
The two of them sank to the bottom of the water. Just as Shen Yanqing was about to speak, his body hit the rocks. He only felt a "click" in his legs, and the severe pain made him faint.
The shabby and inconspicuous flower boat next to it moved. Liu Ruyan whispered to the man on the boat, "Pull him up quickly."
The man was struggling with one hand, and Liu Ruyan assisted from the side. By the time the officers and soldiers escaped and came over, the flower boat had already sailed to the center of the river and disappeared into the vast night.
"Brother Lin, we only found Master Shen's bodyguards..."
They searched for a long time, only to find Li Biao who had fainted, and Shen Yanqing had disappeared.
"Keep looking!"
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the leading officer and soldier. If they couldn't find Shen Yanqing, they would be in big trouble. After all, Shen Yanqing was helping the prefect with disaster relief. It was an unreasonable disaster to be attacked by the victims, not to mention that he was still a senior citizen. If something happened to the princess's son-in-law in Yangzhou City, the prefect would also be responsible for it.
After salvaging all night, the sky turned white, and the officers and soldiers all looked dejected, "Brother Lin, what should we do?"
They still haven't found it.
"Go back to the government office first..." Brother Lin wiped his face and said in a heavy voice.
News of Shen Yanqing's disappearance reached the inn. Jiang Miao almost fainted after hearing it. When she looked at Li Biao who was seriously injured and unconscious, she was even more dizzy.
"How come they disappeared? Since they dived at the same time, why can Li Biao be found but my husband is missing?"
Jiang Miao never lost her mind no matter how sad she was. The more anxious she became, the clearer her thoughts became.
The officers and soldiers sent to deliver the message were those who participated in the search last night. After hearing Jiang Miao's words, an idea flashed in his mind, and the clues that had been ignored last night appeared in front of him.
"While rescuing people last night, a broken boat passed by in the river..."
Because it was too dark and the boat was particularly inconspicuous, the officers and soldiers who rescued people subconsciously ignored it. Only after Jiang Miao reminded them did the officers and soldiers remember it.
"Broken ship..."
"Madam, will your Excellency be rescued?" Zhu Kuan was overjoyed. God bless, nothing will happen to them!
Jiang Miao was also a little relieved. She heard from the officers and soldiers that Shen Yanqing was only slightly injured and his life was not in danger for the time being. However, the appearance of this ship was too strange. Why did Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao be rescued alone? I am puzzled by the explanation. Now if I want to find the person, I must first find out the whereabouts of the ship.
Shi Lei and Zhao Lin took the orders to go out, while Li Biao also asked Qiao Songyun to treat his injuries. Qinglian and Wu Yue knew that Jiang Miao was sad, so they had been careful in serving her these past few days, for fear of causing her sadness.
But they all underestimated Jiang Miao. At this time, she had to be more stable. The government office sent several batches of medicinal materials. Perhaps because of Shen Yanqing's incident, Ma Liangji felt guilty and obeyed Jiang Miao's request. Shun.
During this period, Li Biao had regained consciousness, and Qiao Songyun's prescription for the epidemic was also figured out.
In a farmhouse downstream of Jingshui River, Shen Yanqing was lying upright on the bed. Liu Ruyan took the water from Sun Hao and fed him a few sips.
"When will he wake up?"
Sun Hao's slap was not gentle, and Shen Yanqing's leg was seriously injured. The scratches on his body were not treated, and the blistered and white wounds were swollen and leaking pus.
The medicine shops in the city were guarded by officers and soldiers. Since Jiang Miao was in the city, it was not appropriate for her and Sun Hao to be exposed, so they had no choice but to leave him alone.
Liu Ruyan glanced at the festering wound, a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Her emotions were very contradictory. On the one hand, she was worried that her situation would be as miserable as in her dream, so she tried to pick on Shen Yanqing in every possible way. However, the man in front of her would only reject her. Liu Ruyan had her own pride, and he was There were too many rejections, and her patience was exhausted.
"Almost." Sun Hao glanced at the man on the bed, and a murderous intent flashed across his face.
He and Liu Ruyan escaped from the capital and ran all the way to Yangzhou to save him. Sun Hao held his empty sleeves and just wanted to pick up a knife and cut off all his arms to satisfy the hatred in his heart. .
Shen Yanqing felt the murderous aura beside him. His eyelids trembled slightly and he saw the woman standing next to the bed.
