Just then, a massive crowd came rumbling in from the city. The leaders were all mounted, while the rest stretched back in a dark mass as far as the eye could see. The people having tea were startled and immediately fled to hide by the roadside.
When they reached the open ground, a man with his hand wrapped in bandages pointed at the carriage by the river. "Gang Leader, that's the carriage."
Bei Jingda narrowed his eyes, urged his horse forward, and called out from thirty or forty meters away, "May I ask which friend is inside the carriage? Why did you kill members of my Changle Gang? Please give us an explanation."
The people hiding nearby were shocked when they heard that. Good heavens, someone had killed members of the Changle Gang! The Changle Gang was not to be trifled with. They ruled Yangzhou City, and even the authorities gave them leeway. They called themselves the greatest gang in Jiangnan.
Anyone who dared kill Changle Gang members was probably doomed.
Just then, two women stepped down from the carriage. Both were stunningly beautiful, dressed in female martial artist attire, with treasured swords in hand.
One gang member immediately pointed at Ping'er. "Gang Leader, this woman killed Hall Master Li."
Bei Jingda looked at Ping'er. She had a delicate, beautiful face and even looked somewhat frail. He truly could not imagine that she had killed Li Daya.
"Why did you kill members of our Changle Gang?" Bei Jingda asked the two women with his triangular eyes fixed on them.
Xiaoxiao spoke softly, her voice as sweet as an oriole's. "My Young Master went to visit your Changle Gang. My sister went ahead to announce us, but your gate guards harassed her and spewed filthy obscenities. Shouldn't they have been killed?
