As a great scholar, Huo Zhengyuan's brain moved very quickly, but his hands and feet could never keep up with his brain, and he did not have the courage to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
Huo Zhengyuan was frightened when he saw a carriage rushing towards him and others. He also knew that he should avoid it immediately, but his legs and feet seemed to have lost consciousness, and he was disobedient for a moment!
Huo Zhengyuan wanted to call for guards, but he deliberately concealed his identity while staying in Nanjing. He only had a few followers with him, and only two of them knew martial arts. However, these two people were not only far away from Huo Zhengyuan at this time, but they also had no one with them.
Even if he carries weapons, he will not be able to protect Huo Zhengyuan in times of crisis.
At the same time, Jiang Zheng was completely different. Not only did he have a clear mind, but he also followed Yang Xun around the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou all year round. His physical fitness was quite good, and his legs and feet were relatively flexible. He immediately had to dodge aside and still
He had enough energy to pull Huo Zhengyuan to escape with him.
However, the banks of the Qinhuai River were originally the most prosperous areas in Nanjing, and Nanjing was bustling with commerce, and the curfew was not particularly strict. Although it was already evening, the streets were still crowded and bustling with people.
After discovering that the carriage suddenly lost control and knocked over and trampled several passers-by, the people nearby were also in a panic. They scrambled to escape and fled, crowding and colliding with each other. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Under such circumstances, even if Jiang Zheng wanted to pull Huo Zhengyuan to escape in time, due to the chaotic reactions of the nearby people, not only was the escape space blocked, but he was also constantly bumped into by the people. Naturally, he was a little unable to do so.
It was stumbling and embarrassing.
What's more, there are still people hiding in the dark and causing mischief!
Just when Jiang was able to squeeze into a position and was about to drag Huo Zhengyuan back to the Guanjiang Tower to hide, a scar-faced man suddenly took advantage of the chaos to sneak up behind Jiang Zheng, and then suddenly lifted up
He hit Jiang Zheng hard on the waist with his knee.
Jiang Zheng screamed in pain, his entire lower body immediately became numb and weak, and he immediately collapsed to the ground.
Huo Zhengyuan was pulled by Jiang Zheng's sleeves. He would have been implicated and dragged to the ground, but the scarred man raised his hand in time and pushed Huo Zhengyuan on the back. In addition, Jiang Zheng also subconsciously tried his best to push Huo Zhengyuan back.
He was dragged towards Guanjiang Building, so Huo Zhengyuan immediately stumbled and fell into the building.
When the scarred man saw that Huo Zhengyuan was temporarily safe, a sneer flashed across his expression, and he waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Everyone hides in the street shop! Everyone hides in the street shop!"

After saying that, the scar-faced man took the lead and entered the Guanjiang Tower to escape the chaos.
When he entered Guanjiang Tower, he did not forget to stomp on Jiang Zheng's back, causing Jiang Zheng, who was about to struggle to get up, to fall to the ground again.
At this moment, after the out-of-control cargo carriage hit and injured more than ten passers-by, it suddenly burst into flames, probably because there were several cans of kerosene in the cargo, and soon the whole thing was destroyed.
The carriage burned into a ball of fire.
Under such circumstances, once someone gets involved with this runaway mule cart, not only will they be hit and trampled, but they may also be involved in a fire and be burned to death!
After seeing this, the common people became more and more panicked. After hearing the call of the scar-faced man, they finally reacted and rushed to the street shops, including Guanjiang Tower, to take shelter.
However, Jiang Zheng collapsed at the door of Guanjiang Tower at this time, so when the people rushed to squeeze into Guanjiang Tower, it meant another disaster, that is - trampling!
Because of the chaos of the situation, no one, including Huo Zhengyuan, noticed these details.
After Huo Zhengyuan fell into the Guanjiang Tower, because his own safety was temporarily unworried, he finally regained his composure and finally regained control of his hands and feet. He quickly got up and looked back.
Then he saw Jiang Zheng and several of his followers falling to the ground and being trampled by the people!
At first, Jiang Zheng and several of his followers still had the energy to scream in pain and struggled to get up.
But soon, these people completely collapsed to the ground and made no sound anymore.

After another moment of burning incense, the out-of-control situation finally stabilized.
The mule pulling the cart discovered that the cart behind him was on fire, and the fire quickly spread to himself. Out of instinct, he wanted to jump into the Qinhuai River and use the river water to put out the fire.
But because it was pulling a truck, it was stuck on the spot by the guardrail composed of iron chains and stone pillars along the coast, so it could only hang half of its body on the Qinhuai River, watching the fire spread to itself, constantly
He screamed loudly, and the smell of roasted meat soon filled the entire Qinhuai River bank.
As the carriage and the mule pulled it were burned one after another, all evidence was quickly burned away by the fire. Whether it was the identity of the owner of the carriage or the reason why the mule pulling the carriage suddenly went crazy, it could no longer be revealed.
The investigation is clear!
The good news is that the mule cart finally stopped running into passers-by, and the people finally calmed down a little, and no longer crowded each other and trampled on each other. Some people also took the lead in organizing nearby people to spontaneously control the situation and count the losses.
, rescue the dead and injured.
The direct losses caused by this "accident" were undoubtedly extremely shocking. More than 20 passers-by were hit and trampled by mule carts, or were involved in the fire. Not only two of the passers-by died on the spot.
, and five other passers-by were seriously injured.
But compared to the indirect losses caused by this "accident", this direct loss is simply not worth mentioning!
Because the people were scrambling to avoid each other, crowding each other, and colliding with each other in a panic, it triggered an extremely tragic trampling accident!
In this stampede accident, seven passers-by were killed on the spot, more than 20 people were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured!
And several of Huo Zhengyuan's followers became the main victims of this trampling accident when the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers took advantage of the chaos and secretly targeted them!
Two of Huo Zhengyuan's six followers were killed on the spot in the stampede accident, and three others were seriously injured. It seemed that they would not die soon. Only one of them escaped by chance and suffered only minor injuries.
The point is, Jiang Zheng was also involved in this accident and suffered a lot of trampling!
Huo Zhengyuan didn't like Jiang Zheng at first. He just felt that this young man was too sharp, too opinionated, and didn't respect himself enough.
But from Huo Zhengyuan's perspective, he was saved by Jiang Zheng. If Jiang Zheng hadn't pushed him into Guanjiang Tower in time, he would have been killed or injured in this trampling accident!
What's more, Jiang Zheng is Zhao Junchen's staff and the favorite disciple of the great scholar Yang Xun!
Therefore, Huo Zhengyuan finally waited until the situation stabilized a little, and immediately ran to Jiang Zheng's side without paying attention to the situation of several followers, only to find that Jiang Zheng was curled up, with shoe marks all over his body, and he was seriously injured.
, it seems that there is more air coming out and less air entering!
"Come and save people! Come and save people! I am a great scholar of the current dynasty! I order you to rescue this person first! There will be a big reward! I will have a big reward!"
For a moment, Huo Zhengyuan had completely forgotten his prejudices, and he completely ignored his own demeanor. He called out to the people around him to come to save people with an urgent expression, thinking only of saving Jiang Zheng's life.
However, just as Huo Zhengyuan was shouting loudly, Jiang Zheng, who seemed to be dying, suddenly opened his eyes and used his last remaining strength to grab Huo Zhengyuan's sleeve again.
Seeing Jiang Zheng suddenly come to life, Huo Zhengyuan was overjoyed.
But before Huo Zhengyuan could ask concerned questions, Jiang Zheng stared and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, there is someone behind the plot! No, we can't be passive anymore! Huo...Senior Huo, make up your mind early!"
After saying that, Jiang Zheng loosened his grip on Huo Zhengyuan's sleeves and let his arms fall to the ground, completely passing out!
No one knows whether Jiang Zheng can survive this disaster.
Maybe, after Jiang Zheng passed out this time, he would never wake up again!
Seeing that Jiang Zheng was still urging himself to make up his mind at this time, Huo Zhengyuan couldn't help but froze on the spot again, his expression changing.
