Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Shen Yanchu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was interrupted by the chaotic footsteps and shouts of the refugees. His expression instantly turned serious, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.

"Oh no, the refugees are coming!" he shouted, his voice filled with anxiety.

Upon hearing Shen Yanchu's call, Cui Yu'an immediately sprang into action. He swiftly directed the convoy, instructing the drivers to increase their speed while simultaneously ordering Li Changyu to prepare for battle.

The three girls who had just been bought were also terrified by this sudden turn of events. They clung tightly to the car windows, their faces pale.

While observing the movements of the refugees, Shen Yanchu pondered a countermeasure. He knew they had to get rid of these refugees as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't panic, everyone! We will protect your safety!" Shen Yanchu said loudly, trying to calm everyone down.

Under the command of Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an, the convoy began to accelerate. The refugees pursued closely behind, shouting battle cries.

Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an led Li Changyu in a fierce battle against the refugees. They brandished their weapons and fought valiantly against the refugees' attacks.

After a fierce battle, the convoy finally shook off the fleeing refugees. Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing weary smiles.

The convoy continued on its way, while Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an cautiously observed their surroundings to prevent any further danger.

He carefully made his way through the alley for a long time, circling around before deciding to leave through the west gate, as the group of refugees had rushed in from the east gate. He needed to get out of there quickly; Miss Shi and the others were still injured, and he himself was exhausted. Li Changyu alone couldn't possibly handle these refugees.

Shen Yanchu and the others cautiously approached the city gate. The guards were on routine patrol, and the people were entering and leaving the city in an orderly manner. The group secretly breathed a sigh of relief and planned to leave the city quickly.

But things didn't go as planned. A dense throng of refugees surged out from all directions, indiscriminately slaughtering pedestrians in the street. Shouts of killing, pleas for mercy, and angry curses filled the air. Seeing the refugee riot, the city gate guards immediately closed the gates and rushed onto the city walls, ready for battle.

Shen Yanchu frowned, his gaze quickly sweeping across the surroundings. Chaos reigned at the gates of Yongxing Town; the riot had forced the gates shut, and countless refugees huddled together, forming an impenetrable human wall.

Miss Shi and her sisters were unconscious from their injuries, and their condition was extremely critical. Shen Yanchu knew that they had to find a way out as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. After thinking for a moment, he decided to find a relatively safe place to settle Miss Shi and the others before figuring out how to leave the city.

Shen Yanchu carefully avoided the crowds and headed into the town. His sharp eyes scanned his surroundings, searching for any possible clues.

Finally, he discovered a narrow alley. The alley was quiet and secluded, seemingly deserted. Shen Yanchu was overjoyed and quickly led Miss Shi and the others into the alley.

At the end of the alley, there was an abandoned temple. Shen Yanchu placed Shi and the others on the ground of the temple, and then began to look for something to use to bandage their wounds.

He searched the temple thoroughly and finally found some tattered strips of cloth. He handed the clean strips to three maids, who immediately bandaged the wounds of the young woman and the others, then sat down quietly to wait for them to wake up.

Master Liu stood guard at the intersection, ready to inform us if there was any danger. The town not far away was in chaos. Cui Yu'an saw that the sun was high in the sky and it was past noon; they hadn't had lunch yet, and the girls' medicine still needed to be brewed.

"Go and start a fire to cook, and brew the medicine while you're at it. After lunch, you few change Miss Shi and the others into clean clothes; they have some in their carriage." The three immediately bowed in response and began dividing the tasks of preparing lunch and medicine.

Cui Yu'an stood quietly to the side, watching the three women busily preparing the food and traditional Chinese medicine. Soon, the aroma of the food and the scent of the medicine filled the room.

Cui Yu'an secretly admired them, thinking that the twenty taels of silver were well spent. These three women were not only excellent cooks, but also efficient and capable of preparing nutritious meals and appropriate Chinese medicine for them.

After quickly finishing their meal, Shen Yanchu and the others quietly slipped back to the town's main street with Li Changyu. They cautiously moved through the crowd, their eyes keenly observing their surroundings.

However, to their surprise, the riot did not seem to have received sufficient attention from the authorities. The streets were in chaos, people were fleeing in all directions, and shouts and cries mingled together, but there was no sign of any government suppression or news.

Shen Yanchu frowned, his heart filled with doubt and worry. He had originally thought that the government would take swift action to control the situation, but now it seemed that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Li Changyu also noticed something amiss. He whispered to Shen Yanchu, "What's going on with the government? Are they planning to just sit idly by?"

Shen Yanchu shook his head and said, "Things are probably not that simple. We must figure out the government's attitude and intentions as soon as possible in order to better deal with this crisis."

After speaking, they continued to inquire about the situation on the streets, hoping to find some useful clues. But as time went by, their mood grew increasingly heavy, because the riot seemed to be slipping out of control...

Shen Yanchu stared solemnly ahead as a dozen or so refugees were brazenly burning, killing, and looting; their atrocities were utterly appalling. Li Changyu, seeing this, was enraged and rose to teach the thugs a lesson. However, Shen Yanchu stopped him.

"Young Master Li, do not act rashly," Shen Yanchu said in a low voice. "We cannot act impulsively now. These refugees are numerous and each one is fierce and brutal. If we act rashly, we will only be in danger."

Li Changyu clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger. "Are we just going to stand by and watch them commit such atrocities?" he asked through gritted teeth.

Shen Yanchu shook his head slightly. "Of course not. But we need to think calmly and find a suitable time and method to solve this problem." His gaze was firm and composed, revealing a thoughtful wisdom.

Under Shen Yanchu's persuasion, Li Changyu gradually calmed down. They began to observe their surroundings, looking for resources and opportunities they could utilize. Shen Yanchu knew that in this situation, force alone could not solve the problem; they needed to use wisdom and strategy to effectively stop the evil deeds of these refugees.
