At this time, Teng Kun, who had returned from the homes of several killed officials, just got off his horse in front of the gate of the mansion. A gatekeeper hurriedly ran down the ladder. He knelt down and said in a panic: "The lord, the morgue in the mansion is on fire. Up."
The person who had just stood firm on the ground heard the words and suddenly flashed a hint of surprise.
"What did you say?" Why is it so at this time
"All the people in the mansion rushed to fight the fire, please go and see the prince!"
"Well, take the horse back." Shen Leng responded, his face was calm, and he stepped quickly into the mansion.
I hurried to the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard in front of me was in great fire. Dozens of people fetched water back and forth to extinguish the fire, and they were very busy.
At this time, the steward Xu who was thrown into it inadvertently saw Zhan Yuankou, Teng Kun with a cold complex color on his face, stopped what was in his hands and hurriedly ran in front of him.
"Master, are you back?" He was a little out of breath, and after nearly sixty years of running, his old bones were about to fall apart.
"What's going on?" Looking coldly at the house where the fire was getting smaller, he frowned slightly, flashing displeasure.
"The prince calmed down his anger. The fire burned too fast and weird. At the moment, the old slave still doesn't know what is going on." He quickly pleaded.
With a flick of his sleeves, the extremely angry voice instantly frightened everyone to kneel: "Subordinates convict, I beg the prince to punish him."
Seeing them repeatedly plead guilty, Teng Kun said irritably: "This is your negligence, and you are going to be punished, but before that, how exactly did it happen?"
The other soldiers looked at each other, and finally someone bowed their heads and said: "In response to the prince, it is really weird to say that the six of us are guarding three sides of the corpse. It is not late at night, and the subordinates dare not slacken their faces. The fire started to ignite in the house. During this period, there was no change at all, and no one was seen. From the moment of the fire to the discovery, we have been on three sides and never left, and we don’t know how the murderer succeeded."
"Oh?" Hearing this, he retreated a little anger and turned to contemplation.
"The subordinate's sentence is true, I dare not deceive a bit."
"Surely there was no change when the incident happened?" He was suspicious.
"Subordinates dare to use their heads to guarantee that there will never be any flammable objects or suspicious persons appearing."
The soldier who spoke was very firm, and Teng Kun also lost most of his anger because of this.
"Okay, go down and receive the penalty after putting out the fire." With a wave of his sleeve, he turned sideways.
"Yes, the subordinate takes the order." The six soldiers got up and continued to fight the fire.
With his hands behind his back, his handsome and fair face was glowing with the fire, showing delicate water.
At this moment, a soldier rushed up in a hurry, which made him frowned unhappy: "What happened again in such a panic?"
As soon as the soldier arrived in front of him, he knelt down on one knee and said: "In response to the prince, the princess and empress, no, it's gone."
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his dark face, and a trace of anxiety appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward, and then he raised his collar in anger and shouted: "Aren't you looking at her? Why are you missing?"
With great force, he directly lifted the strong master soldier from the ground. There were blue veins on the back of his white hand, and his expression was very nervous.
Perhaps he himself had never thought that when he heard that she was missing, his heart would suddenly tighten, and he would become so anxious and uneasy.
The soldier was so frightened by his roar that his legs became weak, and he quickly replied, "If you go back to the lord, the princess and empress just now saw a fire here, because her body Y ring was still in the library and she was very worried. , Subordinates, subordinates can't stop..."
"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, even a woman can't stop it. Why does this king support you?" He raised his hand, and when he was angry, he slammed him to the ground.
"The subordinate is convicted, and the subordinate is convicted." The soldier did not even think about the pain in his body, and said repeatedly.
"It's better to send someone to find out here, hurry up." At this time, he was a little anxious. He caught fire inexplicably tonight, which made people panic. The dead woman just disappeared at this time. Where did he go? Up.
I was angry, but more anxious.
"Yes, the subordinates have asked someone to look for it, but they have already searched around here, and I haven't found the figure of the empress yet." Panicked.
"what?"
"The princess and empress came out just now to find the Y ring called Yumei. You said yes, would you..." He said, gradually lowering his head, not daring to speak out the guess.
"What's going on? Say it quickly." Seeing him hesitating, Teng Kun was completely impatient, and shouted with his collar.
"Could the princess not find the Y ring, just, before no one saw it, broke into the library..." The soldier was so frightened that his legs were weak, and if something happened to the princess, he would be a little guard, How to take responsibility? Even if you lose your life, it won't be worth it.
In an instant, Teng Kun's face turned pale, and when he was surprised, he had loosened his shirt and rushed to the library on the back.
When he walked around this courtyard, he saw the four-story library of books, which seemed to be swallowed by the fire demon, burning extremely fiercely, and almost illuminating the surrounding courtyard.
Last time she was willing to bear thirty whips for this slave and maid alone. This time, it is hard to guarantee that she would not break into the sea of fire alone to save the slave and maid. The more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became.
A little maidservant could make her so nervous, this stupid woman, stupid woman!
He was extremely angry and extremely anxious. Looking at the burning library, he had no time to worry about it anymore. The only thought in his heart occupied all his reason.
He just wants to know the safety of this woman and make sure she is okay...
In a blink of an eye, he saw a large half-person-high water tank at the entrance of the courtyard. He took three steps and made two steps, scooped up the water and poured it over his head, and after a few back and forth, he rushed straight to the door that was being licked by the fire.
"Prince? Where are you going? Don't go in..." Yumei's eyes were sharp and the person rushing over was the prince. She exclaimed in shock, but couldn't stop him. She saw his figure in a blink of an eye, disappearing into the blazing fire Among.
The thick black smoke that hit his face choked him to cover his nose and mouth, and the scorching temperature seemed to have burned off his coat.
"Qi Ziyan..." He desperately waved away the black smoke that blocked his vision. He looked around eagerly. There were burning sticks or books falling in front of him. He avoided them one by one. Excess energy to consider your own safety.
"Qi Ziyan, you dead woman, come out for this king..."
There was only the roar of the fire burning in his ears, and the rumbling of the fire pillar falling. He ran to the stairs, trying to rush from the first floor to the second floor, but saw that the wooden stairs had also been burned. There was no way. dash forward.
He wandered anxiously at the top of the stairs, but he raised his eyes and saw a roof beam smashed down. In shock, he instantly retreated, leaped to the ground, and rolled a few meters away. The beam just missed his body. Dangerously dodged, but because of this, he encountered a sharp wall, and his arm was pulled open a long opening. There was blood flowing out, and his dark green brocade robe was soon dyed red.
The sharp pain from the wound made his face a little distorted, struggling to get up from the ground, his eyes still searching anxiously.
"Qi Ziyan..."
Dead woman, where are you? There must be no accidents, absolutely not! !
At this time, people outside were fetching water back and forth, only to see a small figure rushing into Yuanzi, holding a bucket in his hand, full of water, as if running out of breath.
When Yumei noticed her appearance, she immediately raised a relieved expression, "Miss, where did you go? Everyone is looking for you."
Seeing Yumei, who was anxious, rushed up, she slightly straightened her expression and said, "I'm looking for a wooden barrel. Let's fight the fire with everyone."
"Miss, you have a distinguished status. It's good for people to come here for this kind of thing. Do you know what wooden barrels are you looking for, Lord, Lord..." Yumei was so anxious that she almost cried and stomped her feet on the spot.
"What's up with him?"
"Just now the slave servant saw with his own eyes that the prince broke into the library of books alone for you."
In an instant, the bucket slipped and fell to the ground, wet her skirt.
Teng Kun, for her? Break into the fire?
"Oh, miss..." Yumei just wanted to tell her to stay where she was and don't walk away, her own lady suddenly pushed her away and rushed towards the fire.
"Miss..." Suddenly realizing that the lady might rush in, she immediately followed and grabbed her wrist, which stopped her from moving forward.
"Teng Kun... I'm not inside..." she yelled frantically when she stopped at the sparkling door.
The flames reflected on her face, and the undisguised Jiao Cuo all clearly appeared on her face.
Is this Teng Kun's brain flooded? How could he just break in like this
It's very difficult to get in in such a big fire, let alone say it. Isn't he usually very shrewd? Doesn't he always regard himself as dignified? Why would you still do such a stupid thing
why! !
Soon, she felt a little out of breath, her mind was completely blank, and she couldn't think of other things at all.
The whole heart was burning like this majestic fire, burning her heart to no avail... Don’t have trouble, don’t have trouble... You bastard... There can be no trouble... At this time, she is still in the fire. A headless fly-like Teng Kun, his eyes were already so hot and painful by the fireworks that he even couldn't tell the direction.
The sharp pain from his arm had already swallowed his pain nerves and became numb. A drop of blood fell into the fire along the sleeve of his shirt.
The original search has become a dodge at this time, trapped in the fire, he can't help running wherever he wants to go. The original handsome and white face has been stained with a large amount of black ash, and he looks tired and embarrassed.
"Qi...cough..." A puff of smoke penetrated into his mouth and nose, making him cough desperately.
The hot air flow slowly swallowed his consciousness, making him unable to think.
Suddenly, across the layers of fire, a faint voice instantly entered his ears.
"Teng Kun... You come out for me..."
The voice was mostly masked by the sound of the fire, but even in the confusion, he could instinctively distinguish it.
It's that woman's voice...
A glimmer of excitement rose in my heart instantly, this woman is okay, she is okay...
Lifting his face from under his sleeve, he couldn't open his eyes, but the corner of his mouth was raised happily.
"Miss, don't lean on it anymore..." Seeing Qi Ziyan's anxious loss, Yumei was also so anxious that tears were flying.
Had it not been for Yumei had been pulling her desperately, I'm afraid she would have fallen into the fire long ago.
She never thought that the young lady would be so at a loss when she lost her mind. In her impression, the young lady has always been strong in heart, and nothing can easily ruin her strong, let alone for the sake of The prince who has always hated becomes like this.
Perhaps, only at this time, the young lady really knows her own position in the eyes of the prince and the importance of the prince in her heart!
