Chapter 367: At Stake

After receiving the mysterious creed, Gao Heng had no intention of caring who told the news for what purpose. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He only knew that the place name mentioned in this was very likely where Cheng Jinzhi was at the moment.

In the current situation where there is nothing to be done, this clue in his hand is undoubtedly like a spark leaking from the darkness.

Especially the four words "human life is a matter of heaven", Gao Heng was even more frightened in his heart, and he didn't want to delay for another second.

So he immediately asked Shen Jun to leave the palace with his men and horses, and the group went straight to this place.

The Yanwang Mansion is in the west of the city, and it is a considerable distance from the places mentioned in the creed, and even if you are fast, it will take you half an hour to arrive.

At this time, it was almost dawn, and some vendors from the morning market on the street had already begun to set up stalls one after another.

Suddenly seeing such a menacing battle in Yanwangfu, he was taken aback for a while, and while he retreated, he privately speculated that something must have happened.

As soon as they turned into the Huayi Alley, Gao Heng and the others saw a thick smoke rising above one of the houses from a distance.

Just because there are not many homes in the vicinity, and many people are still asleep, it does not cause any panic.

Gao Heng's heart sank, and the ominous premonition in his heart began to spread like the rising smoke in front of him, making him tighten the muscles in his cheeks with a grim expression.

"Your Highness, this is the place mentioned in the letter. ”

Shen Jun's eager voice came from his ears, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a relatively independent mansion in front of him.

At this time, the main gate was closed, and the inside was silent, but it seems that it was not a place for ordinary people to live, judging from the scale and construction.

Just because this capital is more than a house, there are many buildings, and there are mansions and courtyards of dignitaries everywhere, so it is insignificant to be mixed in it.

And the smoke that rose from this family's house.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have seen it, it is a room that is burning, and there are obviously other people in the courtyard, but no one has come forward to put out the fire, it seems that this fire is burning very strangely. ”

Shen Jun flew up the outer wall with a few agile people, wanting to inspect the situation of the mansion first.

After a while, he quietly landed, walked up to Gao Heng and explained what he had seen and heard.

Hearing what Shen Jun said, Gao Heng's eyebrows tightened, and he felt anxious in his heart, as anxious as a spark.

In order not to let the people inside hear the movement and be on guard, he directly killed them by surprise, so he immediately ordered.

"Bang the door and get in, quick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jun led a group of his subordinates to hit the door together, and soon broke in.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone smelled a scorching smell blowing in the direction of the wind, and they all subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into a private house? Do you know who the owner of this house is?"

Seeing that a large number of people suddenly broke in unkindly, it naturally alarmed the guards guarding the palace.

"Bold, I didn't salute when I saw His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"What?, His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Shen Jun shouted with a solemn expression, and the words made these guards shocked, and each of them showed an unexpected surprised expression, and all of them unconsciously took two steps back.

Especially the head of the guard who assisted the prince in setting the fire before, his face changed drastically like a thief, and he just wanted to find someone to ask the prince for advice, but he saw Gao Heng walking towards him with a cold face.

"I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan suddenly brought people to break in like this, what is the so-called matter?"

Seeing this, the leader of the guards hurriedly bowed to Gao Heng very respectfully, and there seemed to be a hint of fear between his eyebrows. However, Gao Heng didn't pay attention to his high-sounding words, nor did he mention the crown prince, but directly asked in a deep voice with a cold face.

"Where is Princess Yan?"

"Princess Yan?"

The leader of the guard's eyes flashed when he heard this, but his tone was obviously a little less confident.

"The little one doesn't understand what His Highness is talking about. ”

"You don't understand?"

Gao Heng gathered his eyebrows, and in the next second, he directly put the saber in his hand on his neck.

"This king asks you again, where is Princess Yan?"

"His Royal Highness King Yan, the little one... I really don't know where Princess Yan is, and there is no one His Highness is looking for here......"

Looking at the cold and awe-inspiring long sword around his neck, the leader of the guards was timid in his heart, and even his voice trembled slightly.

But out of loyalty to the prince, he continued to pretend to be stupid, but his whole heart had already risen to his throat.

He thought that Gao Heng was just threatening him and would not kill him, but before he finished speaking, he saw Gao Heng's face sank. Just as he was about to raise the knife in his hand, he shouted in fear: "Your Highness spare your life, Your Highness spare your life, Princess Yan... She's in that room!"

Looking at the direction pointed by the leader of the guards, Gao Heng's brain suddenly "buzzed" loudly, like a thunderbolt from the top of his head and slashed straight into his heart, blocking all the breath flow in his chest.

The long sword in his hand fell to the ground suddenly, sad and loud.

He stepped forward, like a swift wind, desperately rushing towards the firelight.

"Golden Branch!"

"Your Highness, you can't go over!"

Seeing that Gao Heng was about to rush towards the sea of fire alone, Shen Jun hurriedly chased after him with a group of people.

The rest of the people stayed where they were, so they could control the guards in front of them, just in case.

The room in front of me was filled with smoke and fire, and people couldn't feel the slightest breath of life.

The blazing flames devoured everything, and the eaves had already been burned in several places, and they were crumbling to support them, as if they were about to crash to the ground in the next second.

It's too late after all.

This pain and torture like purgatory, in the end, let her face and bear it alone.

Gao Heng is now only praying and pleading in his heart that Cheng Jinzhi and the child can be safe.

As long as they can live in this world in peace, he can give up everything.

"Jin Zhi, Cheng Jin Zhi!"

Gao Heng endured the pain in his heart and shouted loudly, ignoring the heat wave that hit, and was about to step into it, but he felt that someone suddenly grabbed him from behind.

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous here, you can't go in!

"Get out of the way, the golden branch is still inside! she's still inside, she's waiting for me!"

Gao Heng struggled to push away the obstruction of Shen Jun and others, and he had already put life and death aside in his heart.

He pulled out the saber on Shen Jun's body and raised his hand, taking advantage of the gap between them to retreat, and flew towards the raging sea of fire in front of him.

Soon he disappeared into the flames.
