Chaos erupted amidst the crowd.
Those few people were wearing very ordinary clothes, and they didn't look any different from the nosy civilians. This was why it was even more sudden when they took action.
Si Ye looked at them and roughly estimated that there were at least hundreds of people. They clearly came for Rong Jiu! The key point is that judging from their vicious attacks, they were clearly trained on the battlefields.
Si Ye suddenly realized something and gasped. Rong Jiu actually mobilized the Northwest Army to come and save him? I thought he already handed over his military power after he came back to the Imperial City and that he didn't contact the Northwest Army anymore? What's with all these people suddenly appearing?!
In no time, the screams, sounds of weapons clashing, and the sounds of sharp knives piercing into people's skins were all mashed together.
Numerous people screamed and ran away!
