Seeing that he couldn't stop Qu Jingze, a guard suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Qu Jingze stared blankly at the people in front of him. From deep in his throat, he sighed in pain and shouted hoarsely, "Princess Jiaoyang lives in this room. Go in and take a look."
Before he could finish his words, a pale white figure flashed into the fire.
Several guards who were ordered also jumped into the fire one after another, and people around who heard the news also rushed towards the direction where they were standing with buckets and basins.
The fire was so fierce that it burned people to tears, but Qu Jingze stared at it without blinking, waiting for someone to come out of the fire.
Time seemed to stand still, slowly and patiently tormenting the hearts of everyone present.
Some people could not hold on during the agonizing wait and fell to the ground, some were still trembling and looking in the direction of A'man's room, and one after another people rushed into the fire, but no one came out.
The tiny glimmer of hope was turned into ashes in the fire.
The fire lit up the entire night sky, and the flames rushed to the horizon. The water poured on the outside was useless. No one could stop its greedy encroachment...
The chaos before his eyes was of no avail to Qu Jingze. The pretty and bright girl kept appearing in his mind. When she talked about the future political stability and social harmony, the light in her eyes seemed to ignite people.
Qu Jingze silently said in his heart that for the sake of the people of Bei'an, the little princess must be alive.
The people from the Five Cities Army finally arrived with water dragons. Qu Jingze could not hear the shouting, commands, and chattering. He just stared in the direction of A'man's room, waiting for someone to come out.
The gushing water seemed to fall from the sky, forcing back the arrogant fire. Inch by inch, the flames turned into ashes in the night sky and scattered into the rising fireworks. The fire was extinguished inch by inch. The despair that had long been spreading in the heart finally gave birth to some green, struggling, as if as long as it could break out of the ground, it would be able to see the person it was longing for.
Except for Qu Jingze, everyone's attention was attracted by the water dragon brought by the Five Cities Army. Only Qu Jingze was still looking into the depths of the flames, towards the direction where Princess Jiaoyang was.
No one knew that at this moment in the raging fire, the worried Princess A'man was still sleeping. Because of the heat around her, her not-so-fair face was flushed and she had a sweet smile on her lips.
A young man in black stood beside her bed, calling her name anxiously, but there was no response.
He finally couldn't help but pinched her nose and called Ah Man again, his voice soft and urgent.
But the sleeping person still didn't wake up. The young man seemed to have thought of something and his face suddenly became gloomy and ugly.
He could no longer care about anything else. He took out the clothes beside her bed and slowly put them on her. The sleeping girl seemed unaware and was still sleeping soundly.
"I don't know who is the stupidest one. He didn't even realize that something was put in his food." Murong Kai couldn't help but sigh. After quickly putting clothes on Ah Man, he picked up the quilt that was wet when he broke in, wrapped Ah Man around her body, then he held her up and walked out of the fire.
Even while holding Ah Man in his arms, Murong Kai was very agile. He bypassed the huge obstacle and rushed to where the fire was weak. Then he walked quickly and lightly. After a few steps, he could actually feel the coolness of the fire dragon.
As soon as he stepped out of the sea of fire, he was surrounded by people. Qu Jingze stared at the quilt in his arms with burning eyes, as if there was a treasure in the quilt that he had coveted for a long time.
Murong Kai glared at Qu Jingze, protecting the woman in his arms, and finally whispered: "If you can't even protect her, what qualifications do you have to look at her?"
This is so heartbreaking.
But it was only for a moment, and Qu Jingze felt relieved. He knew that Princess Jiaoyang and Murong Kai had a close relationship, and the only person who could make Murong Kai protect her like this was Princess Jiaoyang.
At this time, Qu Jingze was immersed in joy and completely forgot to ask how the third prince of the Great Zhou could appear at the residence of the Bei'an envoy in the middle of the night.
