Chapter 168: The Consequences of Evil

When Xu Miaoniang chased to the gate of the villa with red eyes, everyone in the villa had already got on the car and evacuated. No one remembered her. In order to save her life, Xu Miaoniang gritted her teeth and followed, shouting as she chased, thinking that she could catch up.

Even at this time, she still felt that no matter what, fake good people like Cheng Su and Yu Meixue would not abandon her.

Unfortunately, she was wrong this time. She was at the end of the team, while Cheng Su and his wife were at the front. The team was long, and they were both concerned about the safety of their son and niece, so they had no interest in what was happening outside.

The car in front did not move, and the people in the car behind would not make a sound even if they noticed Xu Miaoniang's pursuit. The host did not say anything, and they also felt that the girl chasing them was cruel, so they all pretended not to see it.

Poor Xu Miaoniang, who had never suffered any hardship, how could she outrun the wheels? She lifted her skirt and ran after them in a panic, but she couldn't catch up at all and could only fall far behind in the crowded crowd behind the convoy.

There were people all around him, they were dirty and in a mess, they brought their families with them, they carried their children and their mothers, and their belongings clanged and clattered, each and every one of them was rushing towards a possible life.

Her ears were filled with cries and shouts. Xu Miaoniang fell down and got up countless times. She was pushed away by someone but was pushed back hard. She was holding on with just one breath and staggering in pursuit. She was lucky as she was not burdened by any other refugees, so she managed to stay a hundred meters away from the rear of the car and did not fall behind.

She hurried to squeeze into the moat dock and saw the well-trained group in front of her boarding the boat. Even Gu Dajia and his group followed suit and boarded their own ship. Then, looking at herself trapped in the crowd, Xu Miaoniang was really panicked.

There were people rushing forward all around her. Xu Miaoniang had never been so panicked before. In order to survive, thinking of how Li Yaoguang had once taken her to escape, Xu Miaoniang's eyes were filled with anger. She pulled out a hairpin from her hair and stabbed everyone she saw, stubbornly making her way.

The scene was already chaotic, and the people who were stabbed subconsciously moved aside, which allowed her to successfully break through the defense line. By the time she squeezed to the front, the hairpin in her hand had long lost its original color.

Seeing that all the guards had finished boarding the ship and the ship was setting sail, Xu Miaoniang waved her arms hard, and waved her hand holding the blood-stained hairpin wildly, shouting at the top of her lungs towards the direction of the ship.

"Wait, wait, and I'm not on the boat, wait, wait..."

Unfortunately, no one on the ship flying the Qijitang flag turned back to look.

In a hurry, Xu Miaoniang cast her eyes towards the back of Qijitang, the two-story ship that was more than half the size. Seeing Gu Qing standing at the stern, she waved her hands and shouted frantically.

"Sister Gu, Sister Gu Qing, everyone, I, I, I haven't boarded the ship yet, please, take me with you, take me with you..."

Amid the commotion on the ship, Gu Qing and Lu Qing, who were very close at the stern, heard among the many shouts this shrill cry was mixed with a shrill and tearing cry.

Lu Qing still felt reluctant, after all, she was just a little girl. He looked at Gu Qing beside him with a soft heart and said, "Master Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Qing shook his head, "This girl is young, but she is ruthless. You feel sorry for her, but you don't know how vicious she is. Her only brother is still alive. Do you see how anxious she is? Did she look for him? Think about what her benefactor is doing right now? Have sympathy for her... Ha!"

Her benefactor was younger than the man in front of her, wasn't he? Yet he was willing to take risks for his family, and what about this girl? "Let's go, set sail."

Gu Qing gave a decisive order and no longer looked at the crazy woman among the crowd on the dock behind him.

Lu Qing silently withdrew his gaze and gave an order to his subordinates. The sail was immediately raised and the boat slowly moved along with the boat in front.

Seeing the ship slowly setting sail, and the people on board who had clearly seen her turning around without even looking back, Xu Miaoniang felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. The hope that had just risen in her heart was completely extinguished. She collapsed to the ground, hysterical, and angrily pounded the ground, "Ah! A bunch of ungrateful, ruthless beasts, beasts! Do not die well, I curse you all to die badly...", crying, shouting, cursing, cursing, but unfortunately no one heard her. Xu Miaoniang cried tears like a madman, and at this moment, another group of rich and powerful people came with carriages and horses.

The curtain of the gorgeous carriage at the head of the team was lifted up as it passed Xu Miaoniang. A beautiful and generous girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, narrowed her eyes when she saw Xu Miaoniang, who was full of despair and crying with snot and tears, and was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Agarwood."

Of the two maids kneeling in the carriage, the older one stepped forward and said respectfully, "What do you want, young lady?"

The beautiful woman nodded at the disheveled Xu Miaoniang outside, then lowered the curtain and ordered calmly, "Go, take that man with you."

Chenxiang was puzzled. He felt that his girl's temper had changed recently. At this moment when the disaster was imminent and everyone was just trying to escape, why would they pay attention to a lowly outsider and even take him along? He was concerned and asked another question subconsciously.

"Girl, this place is chaotic and there might be someone with ulterior motives. Your safety is the most important thing. That woman..."

The maid had good intentions, but the beautiful woman looked displeased, "Stop talking too much. Just go ahead if you're told to."

Seeing this, the maid dared not say anything more. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart, bowed and accepted the order, then lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

When the carriage was escorted onto the deck by servants and landed on the family's ship, the beautiful woman smiled as she looked at Xu Miaoniang, who was brought up by the maid and expressed her gratitude profusely.

On this side, Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang stood outside the wall, both of them were cautious and alert. At this time, the sound of gunpowder explosions in the distance had stopped, but the fighting was still going on near and far. The noisiest scene on the street outside had passed, and people seemed to be scared. Those who should hide had already hidden, and although there were still people running on the street from time to time, they were sparse and not many.

Some of them were alone, some were in groups of three or five, with their families. They endured the fear and supported each other while guarding against each other. They were all silent as a mouse, and no one disturbed each other. They just focused on hurrying on their way, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

Li Yaoguang withdrew his gaze, squatted down and rubbed the two furry heads that crawled out in front of him, and once again took out the toys that his younger brother had played with under the cover, and passed them under their noses to let them smell them, and then patted their wolf heads lightly.

"Good whirlwind, good victory, be good and take me to find the owner of the toy."

Desheng leaned over and sniffed left and right, but Black Whirlwind just sniffed and whistled at Li Yaoguang twice, turned around, spread his paws and ran away, and Ji Mo and Li Yaoguang followed tacitly.

Desheng was stupid. When he saw his brother running away, he stopped sniffing and followed him, howling.

The two wolves and the other man were running through the messy streets. They were heading deeper into the city, going against the flow of people that appeared from time to time. At first, everything was fine and going smoothly, but as they were running, they saw that Black Whirlwind would stop and sniff after every few runs, and Li Yaoguang felt that something was wrong.

Wolves have a keen nose and are sensitive to smells, but that also has prerequisites.

The whole city of Yangzhou was in chaos right now, with people crowded together and running everywhere. When there were many people, the smell became mixed, including the smell of blood and the sweat of people fleeing in panic. In addition, Yang Ge'er and the others had been gone for some time, and the smell had long been contaminated by other smells. It was really not easy for Black Whirlwind to distinguish the smell he was looking for from so many smells.

As the Black Whirlwind stopped again, Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo stopped as well. Seeing the Black Whirlwind go into a shop on the street, Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo hurriedly followed.

The door of the shop was wide open, and the inside was in a mess, with no one in sight. It was obvious that the people in the shop had fled in a hurry. The two followed in and found that this was a pawnshop. But what were the kids doing in the pawnshop?
Li Yaoguang didn't care and rushed in, looking for him and shouting, "Yangyang, Yangyang? Yangyang, where are you?"
