Chapter 368: Escape from Death
As soon as he stepped into the house, a strong burning sensation rose from the soles of his feet, making Gao Heng's whole body feel stuffy, and his nose was full of the smell of burnt and soot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There were a lot of deformed debris at his feet, and as far as the eye could see, there were raging fires and smoke, and he couldn't find the location of Cheng Jinzhi for a while.
The dazzling flames in front of him pierced his eyes, Gao Heng covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and with his other hand, he pushed away the smoke in front of him, stepped over the firelight everywhere, and accelerated his pace.
However, even though he was physically strong, the deeper he went, the more he felt that his throat was hot and painful, and his breathing began to become more and more suffocated.
"Where are you, Golden Branchβ"
He coughed twice, raised his voice and shouted over and over again, but received no response.
It wasn't until he was about to walk to the corner of the room, between the hazy smoke, that he suddenly noticed that Cheng Jinzhi was lying motionless in the firelight by the wall, and there were already a few clusters of flames burning on his clothes.
One step later, I am afraid that her whole person, along with the child in her womb, will be reduced to ashes by this fire.
"Golden Branch!"
Gao Heng shouted Cheng Jinzhi's name excitedly, and at the moment when his eyes touched her, even if he had always been a person with a tough heart, he couldn't suppress the pain and soreness in his heart at this moment, and moistened his eyes.
He rushed forward to help Cheng Jinzhi up, and used his sleeve to extinguish the fire on her body, his eyes overflowing with distress.
Then he raised his trembling hand and covered her unconscious, haggard and pale face.
Feeling that she still had a faint breath, the heart hanging in her heart was slightly lowered, and she closed her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he found that Cheng Jinzhi's right cheek was burned by the fire, leaving a dazzling scar on his originally white and flawless skin.
Looking at the pain and torture that his beloved endured alone, Gao Heng's heart seemed to have been slashed by someone, rolling and stirring up a burst of fiery hatred, and finally all locked on one person.
The fire in his eyes merged with the fire in front of him, enough to burn everything to fire in an instant.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry......"
He took Cheng Jinzhi tightly into his arms, whispered in her ear with all kinds of guilt, his bony fingers clenched into fists, and even the green tendons on the back of his hand were clearly visible because he was too hard.
But Gao Heng quickly broke free from hatred and guilt, and immediately untied the shawl on his body and covered Cheng Jinzhi, holding her up by the waist.
The fire in front of him is precarious, and staying for a moment longer will add a point of danger to his life.
Only by going out from here first and letting Cheng Jinzhi settle down and get treatment as soon as possible can he have the heart to fight back and take revenge.
"Your Highness, where are you, Your Highness?
The eager voices of Shen Jun and his subordinates swirled from not far away.
Now the fire has become bigger and bigger, and there are jumping fires in all directions, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
Gao Heng walked forward step by step with Cheng Jinzhi in his arms, shouting in response to Shen Jun in front of him, but because the scorching and scorching smoke kept running into his mouth and nose, it was difficult for him to speak loudly.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on Cheng Jinzhi with his hands, just as he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the shout.
Suddenly, he heard a "crunch" above his head, and he looked up vigilantly, only to see that the beams on the house had broken in half because they could not withstand the erosion of the fire, and they were smashing down on him upright.
His eyebrows trembled, and at the last moment, he protected Cheng Jinzhi in his arms with extreme speed, turned over and rolled to the side.
Although he escaped the attack of the beam and saved a life, due to the burning flames everywhere on the ground, Gao Heng's back was still eroded by the fire, and he soon burned several skins.
But at this moment, he didn't care about the burning pain, but stood up again, hugged Cheng Jinzhi and walked forward resolutely and quickly.
I swear to myself in my heart that I must get out of here!
Finally, just when Gao Heng gradually slowed down and felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, he met Shen Jun and others who came to help.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Shen Jun excitedly stepped forward to help Gao Heng, and when he saw Cheng Jinzhi who was completely unconscious in his arms, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows.
"Princess, she ......"
"Immediately summon the imperial doctor to wait for the Yan Wang's Mansion, and I will take her back. β
Gao Heng said with a heavy face, and just walked out of the door with Cheng Jinzhi in his arms and coughed twice, when there was a sound of things collapsing behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the whole room was crumbling because it couldn't stand the scorching fire.
If it is a minute late, not only will the people outside not be able to get in, but the people inside will not be able to get out.
"Find some people to put out the fire, if you don't save it, the other houses should be burned!"
At this time, seeing that the fire was already uncontrollable, the guards and attendants of the mansion hurriedly came to extinguish the fire with water under the order.
"These insidious villains, when the princess was in there just now, they were all indifferent, they really deserve a thousand cuts. β
Shen Jun gritted his teeth angrily and said, pointing his sword heavily at the ground.
"Of course, I will settle this account with them one by one, but the top priority now is to send Jin Zhi back first. β
Gao Heng frowned, the frost and snow in his eyes were awe-inspiring, looking at Cheng Jinzhi, who had a weak breath in his arms, he finally forced down the hatred in his heart and walked towards the gate.
"Third brother, what kind of place are you here, come and go if you want?"
At this moment, a piercing sound suddenly sounded behind him, which made Gao Heng suddenly stop his steps and his face sank.
The body seems to be condensed with a thick layer of frost in an instant, and under the overwhelming cold, people unconsciously want to be close and far away.
"You still dare to show up, it seems that you are really not afraid of death. β
Gao Heng turned around and looked at the prince, and saw that his face was not good, his shoulders were wrapped in gauze, and he was being helped by two attendants to walk slowly, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but shed a trace of surprise.
But it was soon replaced by a thick hatred and an icy chill, and no other emotional flow could be seen under the eyes.
"Hmph, are you threatening this palace?"
The prince snorted coldly, adjusted his breath slightly, and then raised his chin and deliberately pretended to be calm.
But there is a deep unwillingness and anger in his eyes.
"You're so good that you can find this place just before dawn breaks. β
His words were full of resentful hostility, and he pondered for a moment, then his eyes fell on Cheng Jinzhi in Gao Heng's arms, and he moved his eyelashes twice.
"But you have the ability to find here, but you have to have the ability to take her away. β
