Chapter 43: Emergencies

The boat docked and everyone on board got off the boat and prepared to return home.

After the fire on the boat, most people lost interest in playing and stopped the boat one after another.

The Wen family walked towards where the carriage was parked. After walking for a while, the crowd suddenly started to commotion.

Xiao Xuanan protected Wen Jiaojiao tightly, and Yuzhu and others also looked around at all times and pushed away all the people who were pushing towards him.

The already busy shore became even more crowded because of the fire. There were too many people disembarking from the boat. In addition, everyone was panicking because they didn't know what happened ahead. People began to push and squeeze out.

More and more people were crowded, and the Wen family members began to be dispersed by the crowd. Wen Jiaojiao saw a cold arrow falling at her feet. In an instant, the crowd was like an exploding pot, screaming in all directions and desperate.

Pushing hard.

Yuzhu and the others made the circle that protected Wen Jiaojiao smaller and smaller, but there were too many people, and it seemed like there was some thief in front of them. They actually fired arrows into the crowd, and even used swords on the unarmed civilians.

"Miss, miss!"

In just a moment, Yuzhu and the others were dispersed by the crowd, leaving Xiao Xuanan alone beside Wen Jiaojiao.

In modern times, Wen Jiaojiao was particularly afraid of encountering the kind of pushing and stampeding caused by too many people, so she never went to crowded places.

When I came here with Xiao Xuan'an before, it seemed that the road was quite spacious, but now it is so crowded that I can't walk. Because someone used force, someone seemed to have been injured, and everyone was frightened, like a headless fly.

Just bumping around everywhere.

If Xiao Xuanan hadn't been protecting her, she would have been knocked to the ground.

Xiao Xuan'an held Wen Jiaojiao in his arms and wanted to move to the side, but people were crowding in from any direction, so he could only protect Wen Jiaojiao and slowly move to the side.

When Xiao Xuanan saw the arrow that landed at their feet, he felt something was wrong and had to take Yue'er away from here quickly.

Several men wearing strange clothes and holding scimitars, who could tell they were foreigners by their appearance, squeezed out from in front of them. When they saw the people blocking the way, they raised their swords and prepared to kill the crowd.

Xiao Xuanan hugged Wen Jiaojiao's waist and kicked away the man holding the weapon in front of him. At the same time, he pulled out a short knife from his waist, turned around, and neatly cut the throat of a man in strange clothes who was raising a knife to hurt civilians.

.

Wen Jiaojiao didn't even have time to see the scene of Xiao Xuanan cutting the man's throat. He had already put the knife back to his waist and deliberately blocked the man who fell on the ground sideways to prevent her from seeing the bloody scene.

The officers and soldiers who were patrolling the surrounding area noticed that someone in the crowd was using force and actually squeezed in, making the scene even more chaotic.

"ah!"

Xiao Xuanan finally squeezed out of the crowd with Wen Jiaojiao and stayed with her at a corner on the street. He heard someone shouting in pain. Wen Jiaojiao looked and saw that it was Wen Yanxi who was knocked to the ground. The third brother Wen Huai was protecting her.

He hugged his sister and used his body to shield her from the stampeding crowd.

"Miss!" Feng Xin squeezed out from nowhere and ran to her side anxiously.

"Second brother!" Wen Jiaojiao watched Wen Yanxi and Wen Huai being trampled on and unable to stand up. If they were stepped on again, they would be trampled to death.

Xiao Xuanan looked at Feng Xin next to Wen Jiaojiao, then looked at Wen Yanxi and her brother, with a stern look on his face, and pushed them towards the back of the corner, "Just stand here and don't go anywhere!"

With that said, he pushed his way into the crowd to save Wen Yanxi and her sister.

Seeing that Xiao Xuanan was extremely powerful, Wen Jiaojiao grabbed the people in front of him and threw them away, but most of them were common people. He did not care about the life and death of others like those crazy people, and it was quite difficult to move forward.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Jiaojiao was half-bent, holding on to the clothes on her chest and breathing heavily. Just as she felt scared, she felt her breathing became a little uncomfortable.

Feng Xin's face was full of anxiety and he let Wen Jiaojiao calm down, "Miss, breathe in slowly, don't be hasty."

Wen Jiaojiao closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing rate.

Suddenly, a figure fell out of the crowd, rolled a few times, and fell in front of Wen Jiaojiao and the others.

Feng Xin hurriedly pulled Wen Jiaojiao to hide aside.

Several officers and soldiers armed with long knives squeezed out of the crowd and shouted to the people at their feet, "Catch him!"

Wen Jiaojiao looked at the man in front of him who was wearing different clothes and had a lot of injuries on his body covered in blood. Seeing that he was about to be caught by the officers and soldiers, he went straight to arrest Wen Jiaojiao who was closest to him.

Feng Xin quickly blocked Wen Jiao Jiao behind him, and the man became fierce and slashed at Feng Xin with his machete.

Although Feng Xin had learned some martial arts, he was still unarmed and could not defeat the man in front of him. He was injured in two places by the man's scimitar and was kicked away by him.

The man snorted coldly, grabbed Wen Jiaojiao in his hand, and put the scimitar against her throat.

"I see that you are wearing gold and silver. You must be an extraordinary person. Tell these people to get away, or I will cut your throat!"

Jing Shu didn't just look at this petite girl because she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family. The necklace hanging around her neck was goods from Salo, and Salo's jewelry was among the surrounding items.

Countries like these can sell for sky-high prices, let alone a country as far away as Beiyuan.

To be able to afford such a valuable treasure, this girl is beyond ordinary wealth.

Feng Xin covered his bleeding arm and shouted to the approaching officers and soldiers, "Don't move! Don't move! This is the cousin of the Duke's Mansion!"

When the officers and soldiers heard that the foreign man was holding hostage a young lady from the Duke's family, their expressions changed.

If something happens to them, they will all lose their heads!

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers did not dare to come forward anymore.

At this time, Xiao Xuanan finally dragged Wen Yanxi and Wen Huai out of the crowd. When he saw Wen Jiaojiao with a knife held to his neck, he choked on his breath and rushed over immediately.

"do not move!"

The sharp scimitar lightly scratched Wen Jiaojiao's neck, and a trace of blood immediately appeared, making Xiao Xuanan and others tremble with fear.

Xiao Xuanan said solemnly: "Don't touch her. If something happens to her, you won't be able to live!"

Jing Shu sneered, "Really? It seems that she is indeed very important to you."

"Give me a fast horse and let me out of the city. When I get out of the city, I will let her go. If she dares to stop me, I will cut her neck."

Seeing that Jing Shu was about to use the scimitar again, Xiao Xuanan immediately said: "I will prepare a fast horse for you. Don't hurt her. She is the younger sister of the current queen. If she suffers any loss, you will definitely die even if you escape to the ends of the earth!"

When Jing Shu heard that the person he caught casually was the sister of the Queen of Beiyuan Dynasty, he immediately felt that his life should not be cut off today.

"Prepare your horse, hurry up!"

Now the crowd was almost running towards the city and had dispersed a little. Xiao Xuanan grabbed the two officers and soldiers beside him and whispered a few instructions, and the two officers and soldiers immediately followed the order.

After a while, one of the officers and soldiers brought a horse and brought it to Jing Shu.
