302 Trapped in Danger
No sooner had they emerged from the cave than they saw the Yamen clerks brawling with a group of black-clothed people.
Magistrate Han and Qiao Muchen were protecting Elder Song.
Li Zhoucheng, however, was nowhere to be found.
Amidst the intense confrontation, a sudden explosion echoed from the hilltop, followed by a cascade of shattered rocks.
"The rocks are rolling down! Everybody, run!" someone shouted.
Everyone hastily sought cover. Even the attacking black-clothed people paused their assault to evade the plummeting rocks.
Zhao Zhitong had only just stepped out of the cave when this disaster struck. She was caught off guard as rocks began to rain down around her.
Caught in the moment, she had no time to question what was happening and hastily dodged the falling stones. Just then, she heard Qiao Muchen's loud shout.
"Tongtong, be careful!"
The next second, she felt a solid chest slam into her.
With the momentum, she stumbled backward.
