This sudden assassination was targeting Prefecture Lord Geng and his madam, so it didn't have much to do with Qiao Mu and company.
They watched on coolly as Geng Pengcheng and his madam fought a battle of life and death with the assassins that jumped down from the high walls. Qiao Mu and the others stopped what they were doing and sauntered over to a suitable distance to watch.
In any case, they were trying to assassinate the prefecture lord couple, so it had nothing to do with them.
Why should they interfere in a baffling assassination?
The Prefecture Lord and his madam were retreating as they fought. They soon got encircled by that group of assassins.
Qiao Mu felt like everything that was happening was rather farcical.
