Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 315 Guilt
The Feng family was ordered to look for two officials from the capital. With such a big incident happening in Taozhou, those two officials must want to find out the current situation. If they hadn't gone looking for Zhao Jingyun, they would most likely have mixed in with the crowd.

Several people searched carefully while avoiding the people in the government office. Fortunately, they had seen the portraits of the two beforehand. After searching for a while, one of them found Xie Chen.

This Lord Xie lowered his head and stood behind a group of people. He tried to cover his body, 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, thanks to the fact that they didn't find a farmer to hide in, otherwise they would have returned empty-handed.

The Feng family passed the news to each other, and a moment later, six people gathered around, and these six people slowly moved towards Xie Chen and Cao Benwei.

The assassination must succeed.

After killing someone, if they can't escape, they will swallow the poison in their mouths.These few people were the dead men brought by Feng Antai just in case, they were the most reliable, and they were to be used at the most critical moment.

The six people had a tacit understanding and slowly narrowed the distance with Xie Chen. Xie Chen and Cao Ben obviously didn't notice it.

Walking a few steps forward, the dead soldiers held sharp weapons one after another, and one of them raised his arm, with a delicate crossbow arrow tied to his arm, and the tip of the arrow was poisoned.

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 rush to Cao Ben.

Six people started at almost the same time.

The moment the dead man pressed the mechanism, a sharp blade slashed down, blood splashed out, and the arm tied with the crossbow bolt fell to the ground immediately.

Seeing this situation, the people around shouted and fled out subconsciously to avoid it.

Xie Chen and Cao Ben also noticed something strange at this time, and then they saw the dead men mingling in the crowd. These people were easy to identify. Looking at them, it is obvious that this disturbance 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 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, and the Ding family, who were locked in the yard, took the opportunity to slam into the door, trying to protect the Ding family master to escape.

Zhang Yi rushed forward with the servants.

The Ding family knew that staying in Taozhou would probably be a dead end. Fortunately, it was close to Xifan, and they knew merchants in Xifan, so it was better to go to Xifan first to avoid the limelight.

Besides, even if there was a commotion outside, even if a letter was sent to them, they already knew that the Feng family would never sit idly by. There must be soldiers and horses from the Feng family in Taozhou. Everyone has to fight to the death together, no matter how powerful Zhao Jingyun is, he has too few people in his hands, and he doesn't care about so many people.

This is the only chance, if you miss it, it will be gone.

Master Ding thought about it like this, and sure enough there were a few noises in the sky, it was someone firing arrows, this was the signal.

"Go, go now."

The master of the Ding family gave an order, and the people under him all tried their best to resist the Yacha at this moment.

Seeing that Zhang Yi couldn't hold on anymore, he watched the members of the Ding family rush over. Fortunately, at this moment, a few sticks blocked him.

Zhang Yi knew that it was Zhao Xueli and the others.

Zhao Xueli and the others went to the city to help the government office.

There was chaos everywhere, Cao Ben came back to his senses first, he took a deep breath and before he had time to pull Xie Chen, he turned his head and fled to the side. When he fled, he did not forget to shout: "Master Xie, go, they are here for us here."

After all, Xie Chen was old, and when he was about to take a step, another dead man chased after him, but this time he didn't stand still, because a hand grabbed his arm.

The voice of urging came, and Xie Chen subconsciously moved forward along that force.

The thin figure of the girl stood in front of him. She got a stick from nowhere, and with that stick she poked open a person who was approaching.

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 inconspicuous. When it was chaotic, everyone didn't pay attention to the details. It was tied with a knife exchanged from the system, which was extraordinarily sharp.

Shi Jiu even did not hesitate to spend his life 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 dragged Xie Chen out of the crowd, and kept looking around while talking.

In fact, with Huaiqing and the others around, they should be able to stop those assassins, but it is better to let Shi Jiu pay attention to the surroundings, and Shi Jiu will also guide them.

"Go forward," Shi Jiu said, "pass the intersection, turn right, there is an alley between the two houses, those people may not know it."

Dodge in, and then go out from the other side of the alley, as long as the assassins don't keep up, they won't be able to find them.

Huaiqing and the others were able to take down the assassin. Zhao Luoyang did this in case there were people ambushing around.

Zhao Luoyang walked out from the other side of the alley and arrived at another street, watching the Yacha lead people to meet the direction of the assassin.

Xie Chen ran out of breath, but luckily he could feel the danger away from them.

"Thank... my lord?"

The voice sounded, and Xie Chen raised his head to meet the girl's eyes.

Zhao Luoyang panted heavily like Xie Chen: "Just now...that person...called you...Master Xie...what does that mean? Are you an official...Master?"

If it wasn't for the girl in front of him, Xie Chen felt that it would be impossible for him to escape.

The girl was covered in sweat, and there were faint bloodstains on the back 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 anymore, and said, "I am..."

"Come to Taozhou? Come to help us?"

Xie Chen saw that 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 ashamed, embarrassed to say why he came, but the girl obviously guessed something, she hurriedly said: "Then can you help now? The city is in chaos, Mr. Zhao doesn't know if he can hold on." Come on, think of a way."

Zhao Luoyang wiped his face with the back of his hand as he spoke.

Shi Jiu didn't need to think about it, he knew that Zhao Luoyang's actions would definitely make him look even more embarrassed, but he knew that Xiao Yan was not entirely for the charm value, but also to see how much conscience this Lord Xie Chen had.

Blood mixed with dirt stained Zhao Luoyang's face.

Looking at this girl, Xie Chen felt more guilty: "I... have no other choice now." He couldn't mobilize troops to help, and he couldn't even use the censor's secret book to send it to the capital, because there is no other way yet. Check everything out.

Zhao Luoyang's face was full of disappointment: "That's it, no one will care? Then what are you doing in Taozhou? Are you looking at them to harm people?"

Xie Chen felt a tightness in his chest, because of the situation in front of him, and because of the girl's words, he could tell that the girl didn't understand what she said because of his status.

She was clearly blaming him, what's the use of such an official, and even began to feel that she was no different from those corrupt officials.

Because Xie Chen saw the regret in the girl's eyes.

Regretted saving him.

At the same time, the system charm value began to fluctuate.

[Charm value +2]

[Charm value +2]

……

Zhao Luoyang said: "My lord, be careful, don't be discovered by others, I have to go back and have a look."

Xie Chen frowned: "What are you going back for?"

"My father and my uncle are over there," Zhao Luoyang said, "I just took you to escape, and my grandma disappeared. If something happens to them, I... have to help."

The thin figure is even more useful than him at this moment.

Xie Chen felt as if there was a heavy weight on his chest, and the girl was right, why did he come to Taozhou?Just a casual walk?
Then there is no difference between him and Cao Ben. If something happened to the girl's family...won't it be because of him?

[Charm value +4]

[Charm value +4]

……

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 be no such mood swings.

Xie Chen said: "I can't help you now, but I will report today's matter to the imperial court."

After saying this, Xie Chen sighed even more: "Taozhou was not like this in the past, at least when he was the prefect, he wouldn't make it like this, maybe...he was right."

Zhao Luoyang was very curious about who the "he" Xie Chen was referring to was.
