The scene of the house raid was in utter chaos, with screams and cries overlapping each other. Just moments ago, officials of high rank held great power, now they were trampled into the dust by the common people.
For the womenfolk, it was even more unfriendly.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t want to spoil Daohua’s eyes, so he took her away from that place.
On their way, both Daohua and Su Shiyu fell into silence.
Just now, they had witnessed several young ladies from official families with whom they had once chatted and shared tea. As glorious as they once were, they were now equally wretched. This made the two of them feel quite distressed.
Suddenly, the sound of uproar came from the street.
A man dressed in brocade rode his horse, rampaging desperately through the streets, chased by a group of crazed soldiers.
Seeing the crowd scattering in all directions, Xiao Yeyang quickly shielded Daohua in his arms.
As the distance between the man in brocade and the soldiers grew greater, suddenly, ’whoosh’, an arrow flew through the air and struck the man’s back with deadly precision.
The man in brocade too was a tough character; even with an arrow in his back, he clenched his teeth and spurred his horse forward in a wild dash.
"Bang!"
Just as he was about to escape the street, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road and struck the galloping horse with a palm.
The horse was directly knocked to the ground.
The man on horseback was thrown flying and crashed heavily onto the street.
"This man’s internal martial arts have already achieved some mastery," Yan Wentao remarked.
Xiao Yeyang nodded, "This person is also from the Jinling Guard. His name is Heng Wen, and he is highly regarded by the Commander. Remember his face, we will definitely cross paths with him in the future." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai nodded in acknowledgement.
Soon, a troop of soldiers arrived, drew their swords, and subdued the man in brocade.
With the blade against his neck, the man in brocade laughed loudly three times, then looked at Heng Wen resentfully, "Don’t even dream about getting any information from me!" he declared. Then he fiercely slammed his neck against the blade, cutting his own throat.
Xiao Yeyang quickly covered Daohua’s eyes and said in a steady voice, "Let’s leave this place."
Seeing Su Shiyu’s legs give way, Yan Wenkai immediately picked her up and followed quickly behind Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.
It wasn’t until they reached the Glass Store that Su Shiyu recollected herself.
Seeing she was frightened, Yan Wenkai felt extremely guilty, "I wouldn’t have brought you out if I’d known."
These words immediately drew a glare from Xiao Yeyang.
Daohua wasn’t so scared as to have weak legs, but she was obviously still affected and had been silent all the way.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, "The precinct is likely to be somewhat chaotic these next few days, it would be best to return to Huining Sect as soon as possible."
Daohua nodded, "I will speak to my mother about it." Pausing for a moment, she added, "Are you staying here?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, "Capturing people isn’t our responsibility. Once the time for our return is confirmed, tell me, and I will leave with you."
Seeing Daohua lacked energy, Xiao Yeyang turned to Yan Wenkai, "You take Miss Su back, find your aunt, and then come back for Daohua."
Yan Wenkai nodded and left with Su Hongxin and Yan Wentao to escort Su Shiyu back to the Su Family.
Once they were gone, Daohua turned to Xiao Yeyang, "Why were so many officials arrested all at once, was it because of that list?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded.
Daohua expressed her concern, "Your identities haven’t been compromised, have they? With so many people from the Eight Princes Party removed at once, he will surely come hard at you."
Xiao Yeyang gave a faint smile, "Don’t worry, I have everything under control. Right now, the prince doesn’t have the energy to take care of matters here in Zhongzhou."
Daohua said no more.
