After Wan Ning got off the carriage, her personal maids Shuihua and Yuhua immediately stepped forward.

"Miss, would you like to wash yourself now? I have fetched you some clean water from the river."

"Yes, I do!"

Wan Ning nodded, and the two maids immediately got busy.

After cleaning up, Yuhua brought another bowl of hot soup and two pancakes in another bowl in her hand.

Xu Jinyu also came back from the riverside. When she saw Wan Ning got up, she immediately asked her to eat.

"Big sister, where are we going?"

"We are already far away from Chenzhou City. Don't worry, it is safe here."

Wan Ning was afraid that Master Liu would find out that her sister had run away and would follow her in anger.

Before leaving, Xu Jinyu had been dealing with her own shop privately, selling all the shops that were in the open. She didn't want to keep them and be plotted against by Mr. Liu or something else.

Seeing that her sister was still worried about this, Xu Jinyu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. There are many ways out of Chenzhou City. Besides, Liu, the escort leader of the escort agency, has also taken care of the aftermath. Nothing will happen."

Hearing everyone say this, Wan Ning nodded while eating.

My elder sister is really thoughtful. I still have a lot to learn.

After leaving Chenzhou City, the group headed directly east.

Due to the heavy rains some time ago, many places were flooded, especially in low-lying areas, where even entire villages were flooded.

This has resulted in villagers in some places having to temporarily leave their living areas and look for a place to settle down.

After discovering the refugees, Wan Ning and her convoy temporarily changed their itinerary.

The main reason was that they were traveling with a carriage and boxes, making them easy targets.

********

Wan Ning was flipping through a book in the carriage out of boredom when he felt the carriage suddenly stop and there was a noisy sound outside.

Shuihua glanced at his girl and jumped off the carriage.

After a while she came back, "Girl, the road ahead is blocked. There are more than a dozen refugees blocking the way."

Yuhua also looked at Wanning anxiously, "Girl?"

Wan Ning frowned, looked up and saw her elder sister waving at her from the carriage in front, so Wan Ning lifted her skirt and got off the carriage.

After entering Xu Jinyu's carriage, Wan Ning was immediately pulled to sit aside.

"It's okay. Liu Biaotou will take care of it."

Wan Ning also looked at her elder sister and smiled: "Well, I'll listen to you, sister."

The two exchanged a few words in the carriage, and immediately heard something was wrong outside.

At this time, Xu Jinyu's maids Caidie and Cailing hurriedly got on the carriage to pull people, while the other one patted the carriage hurriedly from below.

"Girl, make a scene."

Wan Ning also hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw those ragged refugees fighting with the escorts in their team. Moreover, those people were holding machetes, short blades, and some were sticks.

It is obvious that the visitor has ill intentions and comes well prepared.

"Sister, you don't look like a refugee."

Xu Jinyu also noticed it and hurriedly called out to Wan Ning: "Hurry, get off the car and find a place to hide before they get close."

Wan Ning was very careful about his life, so he jumped off the carriage immediately and turned around to pick up Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu looked anxious: "Don't worry about me, just go and hide. Don't come out until the chaos is over."

As she spoke, her maid also helped Xu Jinyu to the ground.

Wan Ning nodded, and immediately called her two maids, Yuhua and Shuihua, and they quickly went into the woods nearby.

The sounds of fists and feet hitting each other and weapons colliding continued to come from the crowd. It was the Xu family's guards and bodyguards fighting with those people.

Over there, Xu Jinyu also hid behind a rock with her maid, and did not forget to stick her head out to see the situation of the convoy.

Although she had hidden all her gold, silver and valuables, they would inevitably be rummaged through by these people. Those were their foundations, and it would be a real trouble if they were lost.

While they were looking around anxiously, someone in the group discovered where Xu Jinyu was hiding.

He immediately raised a knife and went towards her, scaring Yu Jinyu and her two maids into a panic.

Wan Ning also had an anxious look on his face. Looking at the postures of those people, they did not look like vagrants begging on the road, but rather like bandits in disguised robbery tactics.

Some of the Xu family's servants did not know martial arts, so they were also looking for places to hide.

This exposed Wan Ning's whereabouts, and he had no choice but to continue looking for a place to hide.

"Hey, hurry up, let's run."

The people running around also attracted the attention of the bandits.

Among them, a thin, short man holding a scimitar followed Wan Ning.

Wan Ning was so scared that he ran away quickly. Yuhua and Shuihua were also scared at this time, and hurriedly shouted to the girls to run quickly.

"Oh, help, help!"

Wan Ning was calling out to her mother and father in her heart, wondering why this person kept chasing after her.

While dodging the servants in the house and being on guard against the man with a knife behind him, Wan Ning kept running back with all his might.

As a result, with a "bang", he hit someone.

"Ouch," Wan Ning felt like he had hit something hard but also a little fleshy.

Touching his forehead and nose that were hurt by the collision, Wan Ning looked up and saw a tall man in blue clothes, who looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

He was also staring at Wan Ning at this moment, his expression full of astonishment and surprise.

After just two glances at him, Wan Ning quickly turned around.

Turning around and seeing the person catching up with him, Wan Ning hurriedly ran behind him.

Looking at the little girl hiding behind him, Lin Moyu frowned and waved his hand. The two guards Qingfeng and Langyue beside him immediately stepped forward with swords in hand.

Wan Ning was secretly delighted when she saw that there were two more guards to help them.

She had just realized that the man in front of her seemed to be someone extraordinary, so she hid behind him without saying a word. As expected, this man helped.

Seeing that the gangster was subdued, Wan Ning walked up to him and said, "Thank you for your help, knight."

Wan Ning thanked him and bowed to him.

Lin Moyu looked at Wan Ning in front of him. She was wearing plain clothes and had a hanging bun like most girls do. But she simply pinned a few white pearl flowers on her hair.

After a little thought, Lin Moyu felt that the girl in front of him must have had a family funeral.

There was also a red spot in the middle of her forehead, probably caused by the collision just now.

Wan Ning didn't understand why the man opposite her kept staring at her forehead.

The little hand couldn't help but touch it, and Lin Moyu finally came back to his senses.

He coughed lightly and looked forward: "What happened ahead?"

Wan Ning also turned to look over: "We were walking peacefully, but those people stopped us and even pulled out knives."

"I guess they are actually bandits who rob people on the road."

Hearing Wan Ning's words, Lin Moyu's expression became serious, with one hand behind his back and the other hand clenched into a fist.

Wan Ning noticed that there were three horses behind him, and thought that he just happened to pass by here.

At this time, Wan Ning heard the voice of her elder sister Xu Jinyu, and she hurriedly said goodbye to the man beside her: "My sister is calling, I'm going over."
