As soon as the turmoil occurred, Xin He asked Liu Niang to help her mother to prevent her from falling again. She and Yu Shen followed closely behind her mother and Liu Niang, fighting and retreating with the guards.

At some point, Xin He discovered that Yu Shen had already tightly grasped her hand, and the grip was getting tighter and tighter. In his previous life, the calm and composed Yu Shoufu was now just a frightened child. The sudden danger made Yu Shen more and more nervous.

Xin He couldn't help but squeeze Yu Shen's hand vigorously and said to him with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't worry! Don't be afraid!"

Yu Shen was still stubborn: "I'm not scared, I'm worried about you and Master's wife."

Xin He watched as this group of people crowded around her and her mother, seemingly unintentionally but actually intentionally trying to disperse her and her mother and the others. Xin He knew that this group of people must have been arranged by Su Peiyun, and their target was to come for her.

At this time, due to the big fire at the west end of the long street, the people who were watching the lights in the west swarmed towards the east end. As the number of people increased, it became increasingly difficult to distinguish who were sent by Su Peiyun and who were innocent passers-by.

Ji Wanran was frightened, but still reached out to pull Xinhe and Yu Shen. Xinhe saw her mother's hand and hurriedly reached out to grab it. At this time, a stream of people rushed over, separating Xinhe, Yu Shen, Ji Wanran, Liu Niang and others by a long distance.

Ji Wanran could just see her two children reaching out to pull her, but in the blink of an eye, she saw wave after wave of people and could no longer see her two children.

Ji Wanran called out the names of the two children loudly, and Liu Niang also kept calling out. There was only a messy crowd around, and no trace of the two children.

Ji Wanran felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she almost fell down. Liu Niang quickly held the lady in her arms and called the two guards around her: "Quick, go find the young lady and the young master."

Zhang Gan was between two guards. He watched as the people he had arranged successfully squeezed the little girl out, and he felt secretly proud.

Hearing Liu Niang instructing the guards at this time, Zhang Gan responded and came out. He directed another guard: "You are responsible for escorting the madam to the carriage as soon as possible. I will go to find the young master and the young lady." After that, without waiting for Liu Niang to speak, he walked away in a few steps.

Liu Niang didn't care about anything else at this time, and hurriedly helped the lady to walk towards the carriage. Seventeen knocked down the two assassins, turned around and saw only Madam Qin who was almost fainted, but did not see the figures of the young master and the young lady.

Seventeen frowned, and seeing that the lady was no longer in danger, it was more important to protect the young master. So Seventeen and the others leaped up and followed Zhang Gan who was going away.

Yu Shen and Xin He were carried forward involuntarily by the crowd. On the way, they saw a man fall to the ground. Before he could get up, he was trampled to the ground by the crowd behind him and could no longer get up.

Yu Shen was so shocked that he took a deep breath. He held Xin He's hand tighter and kept reminding Xin He: "Xin Er sister, don't fall down. Watch the road carefully."

Xin He also knew that falling down would definitely lead to death, so she did not dare to let go of Yu Shen's hand and followed Yu Shen closely. The two poor little people were bumped around in the crowd, but fortunately Yu Shen's martial arts skills were still there, and he barely pulled Xin He forward and did not get knocked down by the crowd.

Xinhe and Yu Shen couldn't see the road clearly and could only follow the crowd. Suddenly, they seemed to hear someone screaming, and then they heard the sound of someone falling into the water.

It turned out that this group of people had been pushed to the riverside. The people at the edge could not see the road under their feet, and several people fell into the river one after another.

Xin He suddenly remembered that she and Liu Niang were killed by the river in their previous life and fell into the river. She hurriedly grabbed Yu Shen's hand and said, "Brother Shen, you can't go to the side." Yu Shen stopped moving forward, and Xin He pulled Yu Shen to the other side.

There were fewer people by the river than on the long street. After a few people fell down, the crowded crowd gradually dispersed. When they could see the road clearly, they fled from the river in panic.

Xin He and Yu Shen breathed a sigh of relief and saw clearly where they were. What a coincidence, this was exactly the place where Xin He saw himself and Liu Niang fall into the river in his previous life in his dream.

According to what I saw in my dream, Zhang Gan should follow me soon. This time, I must find out the traitor hiding in the mansion.

Xinhe pulled Yu Shen and hid under the bridge pier. Yu Shen saw that although the little girl's hair was messy due to being squeezed in the crowd, there was no panic on her face.

Yu Shen still felt scared when he thought of the scene just now. If they were not careful, the two of them would either be crushed and trampled to death or squeezed into the river. It would be difficult to survive if they fell into the icy river in this season.

Yu Shen looked at Xin He's calm eyes and said, "Xin Er, did you see all these in your dream?" Xin He nodded, yes. In my previous life, I was tricked into falling into the water and wandering in a foreign land. Brother Shen, do you know that the Xin He you protected in your previous life is no longer the Xin Er you were when you were little?

Thinking of her past life, Xin He still felt sad and uncomfortable. Yu Shen continued to ask: "You let us hide here, will someone come to rescue us soon?"

Xin He shook her head: "Brother Shen, someone will come soon, but they are not here to save us. You hide here and don't go out. I will go out to talk to that person, and you take the opportunity to leave here and find someone to save me when he is not paying attention."

Yu Shen shook his head: "I won't leave. How can you deal with the bad guys by yourself? I know martial arts, I want to stay and protect you." Xin He smiled at Yu Shen: "Thank you, Brother Shen, but you can't beat the guy who will come soon. If you don't leave, we may both be harmed by him."

No matter what Xin He said, Yu Shen was determined not to leave. Xin He suddenly had an idea: "Brother Shen, did Uncle Yu teach you how to contact the distant secret guards?" She remembered that they had been taught in the secret guard camp before, and there was a special way to contact the distant secret guards.

Yu Shen listened to Xin He's words and slapped his head, "Yes, yes. Daddy taught me." Yu Shen took out a copper whistle from his arms, put it to his lips, and blew it hard a few times. "Daddy said that a good secret guard has amazing internal strength and can hear the whistle from a distance."

Xinhe smiled: "That's great, if brothers Seventeen and Five-Nine were nearby, they would definitely be able to hear it." Xinhe leaned out from under the bridge pier and looked into the distance. At this time, there were fewer and fewer people on the long street and by the river.

In the shadowy place not far away, Xinhe seemed to see two people talking. Xinhe remembered that in her dream, someone in her previous life had contacted Zhang Gan here. It seemed that Su Peiyun had quite a few subordinates.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Gan walked out from the shadows and walked towards the bridge where Xin He and Yu Shen were. Xin He retracted his head and told Yu Shen: "Brother Shen, Brother Seventeen and the others haven't arrived yet. I will go out and talk to him to distract his attention. You can attack him when he is not prepared. Let's catch this bad guy together."

Seeing that Xinhe would not let him leave, Yu Shen happily agreed, found a wooden stick on the ground and held it in his hand.

Zhang Gan heard from his men that the young lady and the young man were squeezed to the edge of the bridge, and disappeared when the crowd dispersed. He probably hid because of fear.

Zhang Gan, with a smug look on his face, walked slowly to the bridge and looked around. When he didn't see the two children, he pretended to be anxious and kept calling out, "Miss, Master, I'm Zhang Gan, the guard in the mansion. I was sent by the Madam to find you. Where are you? Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Yu Shen and Xin He hid under the bridge and squatted. They clearly saw Zhang Gan's expression change. Yu Shen remembered what Xin He had said just now and cursed inwardly: "Bah, you bastard who betrayed your master."

Yu Shen had seen this Zhang Gan in the mansion before. He was considered a small leader who was able to protect his master closely and had very good skills.

Yu Shen held a stick in one hand and stopped Xin He with the other, saying softly, "Xin Er, don't go out. He's a powerful character and very dangerous. Let's wait here. Maybe Seventeen and Five Nine will come soon."

Xin He shook his head and broke free from Yu Shen's hand: "Brother Shen, his target is me. Once he finds out that you and I are together, neither of us can escape."

Xin He pushed Yu Shen back to the bridge pier to hide his figure, then squatted down from the bridge and climbed up to the shore. Zhang Gan heard the movement behind him, and turned around to see Miss Qin clumsily climbing up the river bank. The little girl looked embarrassed and shouted at him: "Uncle Guard, are you here to save Xin Er?"

Zhang Gan was worried that the little girl had run away with the crowd and he would not be able to go back to report. Seeing the little girl, he couldn't help but smile and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Miss, the Madam sent me to find you and the Master. Isn't Master Yu with you?"

When Xin He heard him looking for Yu Shen, she immediately covered her eyes with her hands and started to cry: "Wow, I don't know where Brother Shen has gone. Xin Er is left alone. Xin Er is so scared!"

Zhang Gan heard that Yu Shen was not here, and only the little girl was there, so it was easy to deal with. He walked towards Xin He step by step: "Since you are the only one left, let's go find the lady quickly. Miss, are you tired? Let me hold you."

Xinhe waved her hands to refuse his hug and said, "Xin'er is not tired. Uncle, where is mother? Let's go quickly." Xinhe was about to walk towards the long street. She wanted to take Zhang Gan away from the river so that Yu Shen, who was hiding, would have a chance to escape.

She didn't want to implicate Yu Shen. She had asked Yu Shen to take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Zhang Gan in order to appease and stabilize Yu Shen. Zhang Gan was a guard, how could he be defeated by two little kids like them?

However, Zhang Gan did not want to leave. The young lady ordered that the little girl be thrown into the river to destroy the body. Even if the little girl was killed, it would be difficult to deal with the body if they left the river.

He looked around and saw that it was quiet and there was no one around. He finally smiled triumphantly: "I don't know where the madam is. You should go to the river and ask the river god." After saying that, he strode forward and was about to grab Xinhe.

Xin He was prepared. She pulled out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed Zhang Gan's hand. Zhang Gan was not prepared that the little girl actually carried a sharp knife with her. Who would carry a sharp knife when going out to appreciate the lanterns? Zhang Gan wailed. He was not prepared at all. Xin He's dagger stabbed firmly on the back of Zhang Gan's hand. But Xin He was young and weak after all. If it were in the previous life, Xin He could have stabbed Zhang Gan's chest and killed him.

Alas, why can't I come back with all my martial arts skills after rebirth? Xin He sighed secretly, and while Zhang Gan covered his hands and wailed, he turned around and ran towards the long street.

Unfortunately, Zhang Gan caught up with the girl before she could run two steps. Zhang Gan carried the fat girl on his shoulders and walked towards the river, cursing, ready to throw the stinky girl into the river.

When Yu Shen saw Xin He trying to lead Zhang Gan away, he became extremely anxious: "Little girl, you lied to me again and made me attack you by surprise. You are such a shrewd liar." He was about to chase her out when he saw Zhang Gan grabbing the little girl and walking towards the river.

Yu Shen tightly grasped the stick in his hand, quietly stood up from the bridge, and moved behind Zhang Gan. Zhang Gan was cursing when he heard the sound of wind behind him. He didn't have time to turn around and avoid it, and was hit on the back of his head by the stick.

Although the child was not strong enough, the blow from the club still made Zhang Gan see stars. His hands loosened and Xinhe fell to the ground.

The chubby girl got up nimbly and dragged Yu Shen to run. Zhang Gan didn't expect that he would be attacked by two children twice in a row today, and he was injured. It really damaged his reputation.

Zhang Gan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he drew the long knife from his waist: "Damn it, I wanted to leave you a whole body, but these two brats insisted that I take action, so prepare to die."

Zhang Gan was tall and had long legs, so he quickly caught up with the two children and chopped them down viciously. Xin He turned around and saw the long knife was about to chop down, so he pushed Yu Shen out with force: "Brother Shen, run!"

Yu Shen was pushed aside, and seeing the knife about to fall on Xin He, he shouted anxiously, "No! Sister Xin'er."

At this moment, a bright light flashed, and a shiny plum blossom nail pierced Zhang Gan's wrist. Zhang Gan screamed in pain again, and the long knife fell to the ground with a clang.

Then, a black shadow flashed by and landed in front of Zhang Gan. It was Seventeen. Seventeen pointed the long sword in his hand at Zhang Gan. Xin He hurriedly shouted, "Brother Seventeen, leave him alive."

Seventeen long swords were pressed against Zhang Gan's throat. Zhang Gan dared not move any more. Both of his hands were injured and he was unable to resist. He could only look at Seventeen with a sinister look.

Seventeen had just chased Zhang Gan, but there were too many people on the long street, and he lost sight of Zhang Gan after walking two blocks. Seventeen was getting anxious when he heard the special whistle of the secret guards. Thanks to the guidance of the whistle, when Seventeen followed the sound, it was the critical moment. If he was a step later, the knife would have landed on Xinhe.

Yu Shen hurriedly got up from the ground, staggered towards Xin He, and asked repeatedly: "Xin Er sister, are you hurt?" Xin He patted her chest and said: "Brother Shen, I was scared to death, I thought I was going to become a ghost again!"

Yu Shen was only concerned with checking whether Xin He was injured, but ignored the little girl's words "I became a ghost again". Xin He was still frightened. Fortunately, Shi Qi arrived in time, otherwise, she would have become a ghost again before she had done anything.

Xin He thought that she and Yu Shen were too reckless. Tonight was too thrilling. Fortunately, they caught the bad guy Zhang Gan. She would go back and hand him over to Dad for strict interrogation. She must find out more information.
