Although the officers and soldiers had swords in their hands, they could not resist the hundreds of angry people. When they saw the crowd of people coming this way, they were so frightened that they abandoned their helmets and armor and ran away.

After this incident, Shen Ruoyan realized that instead of secretly finding a way to escape, it would be better to spread the word about it. The more people who know about it, the safer they will be.

So they sent a few people who could speak out to spread the word to the victims on the road. Those who learned the truth were all indignant and passionate, and the team that joined Lu Yan's escort grew larger and larger.

At the beginning, they carried a stretcher, and several people took turns to carry it. Later, they gradually moved to an ox cart. Shen Ruoyan was able to sit on the ox cart with Lu Yan, which saved a lot of energy. On the third day, she was still able to carry the stretcher. A group of knights who picked up swords and went to landlords' houses to rob the rich and give to the poor also joined in.

Seeing more and more people gathering around her, Shen Ruoyan became more and more confident.

In order to save energy, they usually don't talk much. They just keep their heads down and rush on their way. They only occasionally exchange a few words when they sit down to rest.

There were men and women in the crowd, old and young. Most of the time, the vast crowd just walked silently, with their footsteps overlapping and making regular rustling sounds. This scene was both magical and spectacular.

Shen Ruoyan also followed, walking among the crowd, looking at the pale man lying on the bullock cart, and silently said in her heart:

Lu Yan, can you hear me?

Every footsteps around you are people praying for you. There are many people here hoping that you will wake up soon. You must hold on.

"Miss Shen, at this rate, we will be able to leave Yizhou tomorrow!" Zhou Mu walked to Shen Ruoyan. After these few days of trekking, his face looked haggard, but he was very energetic. .

Shen Ruoyan nodded and looked up to the east, as if she could see the hope of saving Lu Yan through many obstacles.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind. Turning around, I saw a large group of soldiers in armor, riding towards this side on horseback. A large group of people stepped up. Yellow sand bursts.

"It's a state soldier!" A sharp-eyed man saw the soldiers' clothes and shouted loudly.

"What are they going to do?"

"Are you here to save Mr. Lu?"

Hearing the comments around her, Shen Ruoyan clenched her fists tightly, but she had a bad premonition in her heart.

The soldiers stopped a few steps away from them, and from behind a row of soldiers, a man with feathers on his head came out.

The man rode on the horse and said loudly: "I have received news that someone is pretending to be a court official and is committing fraud. Today I was ordered to arrest this criminal."

He glanced at the people who were blocking the road without giving in, and threatened them rudely: "Whoever dares to block will be shot to death."

After the words fell, the scene was still as quiet as before. The people all stood in place, raising their heads proudly, looking at the fully armed soldiers in front of them without any fear.

The leader panicked a little and said loudly: "If you don't get out of the way, I'll be really rude!"

He didn't know that the people standing in front of him were all people who had been homeless since the earthquake. They were not even afraid of death. No one took such a harmless threat to heart.

The old and young raised their necks and looked fearlessly at the soldiers on their tall horses.

They didn't say anything, but it was more shocking than if they had spoken.

Listen, this is the silent roar of the people.

"Why bother talking to these people?" A familiar voice came from behind the general.

Shen Ruoyan looked up and found a chubby figure hiding in the crowd. Isn't this person Xue Dafu!

Ever since he learned that Shen Ruoyan and the others had escaped from Yangluocheng, Xue Dafu had trouble sleeping and eating. He contacted many state officials who had colluded with him and launched an overwhelming manhunt. Finally, he learned their whereabouts and found out that this group of people were heading to Yizhou. Walking to the border, Xue Dafu was completely anxious.

He used all the connections at his disposal to stop people in Yizhou, otherwise he would be finished.

Xue Dafu was timid and afraid of death, but he was too suspicious. If he hadn't seen Lu Yan beheaded with his own eyes, he would never have been at ease, so he came with these soldiers this time.

He wore a suit of armor specially made for him. His already fat body now looked more like a ball wrapped with a layer of iron. It was round and fat, and shone brightly under the sunlight. luster.

Shen Ruoyan walked to the front of the crowd and asked Xue Dafu on horseback: "Xue Dafu, embezzled money and murdered important officials of the imperial court. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"

Xue Dafu recognized Shen Ruoyan and knew that Lu Yan must be in the crowd. He suddenly became very excited. With a large number of soldiers holding swords behind him, he said arrogantly: "What king's method? In Yizhou, I, Xue Dafu, am the king." Law!"

Hearing him say his name, the crowd suddenly reacted. Xue Dafu was still happy that his name was useful. Suddenly a woman with disheveled hair rushed out and cursed loudly: "So you are that evil bastard." Egg! When my baby was starving to death, you stole our money and hid in the golden house to eat until you became fat. I will fight with you today!"

As he spoke, he picked up the stone in his hand and threw it towards Xue Dafu.

With a "bang" sound, the stone hit Xu Dafu's helmet very accurately.

Xue Dafu's target was too big and he wanted to get out of the way, but the armor on his body was too heavy and he couldn't move. The metal helmet on his head was dented by the rocks, which made his brain hurt.

"Why are you still standing there! Kill these thugs quickly!" Xue Dafu was furious and directed his soldiers to attack.

With the woman taking the lead, the empty-handed people went to pick up stones from the ground and threw them at the soldiers on the opposite side.

The two groups of men and horses fought together.

The soldiers held weapons and wore armor, but the common people had the advantage because of their large numbers. Six or seven people rushed forward, one grabbing the arm, the other holding the leg. The remaining few could be subdued by beating them randomly. other side.

In the chaos, Shen Ruoyan squeezed to Lu Yan's bullock cart and found that several skilled knights were one step ahead of her and were protecting Lu Yan's safety.

There were all kinds of screams around. Shen Ruoyan looked over blankly. People kept falling and new people stood up. She didn't know how long this kind of fighting would last.

Suddenly, a low and long trumpet sound came from a distance.

Hearing this voice, Shen Ruoyan's eyes lit up, she raised her head and looked into the distance. Are they going to be saved?
