I pulled the reins, "Phew!", the horse neighed, stopped, I hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and got into the crowd, the smell of the girls' fat powder mixed with the burnt smell of smoke, which made me frown unconsciously, squeezed to Mother Li's side, and asked, "Mother Li, how is the situation?"

When Mother Li saw me, she looked stunned, "Who is this girl?"

When she asked, I suddenly realized, Mother Li didn't know me at all, these days we only rely on correspondence, even the last time Ouyang Zhi brought me here, I was also dressed as a man, not to mention that now I have covered the veil, it is reasonable that she doesn't know me.

I reported to myself, "I am Princess Changfeng, Lin Xue." Afraid that she would not believe it, he took out the princess waist card symbolizing her status from her bosom and showed it in front of her.

When Mother Li saw it, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "See Princess Changfeng, Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

The rest of the girls were moved by their mother's voice, and they all knelt down in panic, and said in unison: "See Princess Changfeng, Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"Let's all be flat!"

"Princess Xie. The big guy thanked him and got up.

Mother Li got up, couldn't care about being embarrassed, and asked, "Why did the princess leak?"

"There is such a big thing, this princess doesn't come to take a look, don't worry, what's the situation?"

"The princess also saw that the fire was fierce, and it affected the other courtyards of Fengxian Tower, and it is estimated that this southern courtyard will not be able to be saved, alas!" Mother Li sighed, and continued: "The old body is not doing things well, and I ask the princess to punish her." ”

I glanced at the Fengxian Tower, which was almost half engulfed by the tongue of fire, this is not the time to punish anyone, the most important thing is to find a way to minimize the damage, and to find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible.

"Now is not the time to say that there is no punishment, Mom, hurry up and send more manpower to suppress the fire as soon as possible and minimize the damage. ”

Mother Li responded, and began to gather people to extinguish the fire.

The crowd was busy coming in and out, with buckets, pots, and a kettle for those who had no pots and buckets to take, and everyone was struggling to put out the fire.

Everyone did their best, but the fire did not go down much, and the little water in the basins and barrels was a drop in the bucket, far from enough to extinguish the fire, and a little water was poured down, and the fire on the other side rose rapidly.

Everyone was so tired that they gasped, but the effect was not great.

I looked at it, and I was a little anxious, if it burned like this, I was afraid that even the entire Fengxian Tower would become a ruin.

Most of the ancient houses are wooden structures, and the fire protection conditions are limited, and the fire is menacing, and it is too late to think about other ways.

I was so anxious that I stomped my feet, and my eyes caught a glimpse of the same high pavilion on the left and right sides of the Fengxian Tower, I don't know whose house it is, I have an idea in my heart, but I don't know if it will work.

So he called Li's mother over and asked, "Can I find a waterwheel around here?"

Mother Li was puzzled and said, "What does the princess want to do with the waterwheel?"

"Don't ask, just tell me you can find it!"

Mother Li thought for a while, and then arrived: "I found it." ”

As soon as I was overjoyed, I immediately ordered Li's mother to divide half of the current firefighting manpower, some to stay and continue to fetch water to fight the fire, and the other to borrow a water truck.

After Mother Li finished her instructions, I asked her to lead me to visit the owners of the two houses on the left and right of Fengxian Tower, all of which were used for the terrain of their houses.

Before the two of us could act, Wang Yuanwai, the owner of the house on the right, heard our conversation, so he came out of the crowd and said, "I don't know if the princess has any use, just open her mouth, Wang will definitely cooperate." ”

This king is enthusiastic and positive, and I can't help but look at him more. Wang Yuan is an outsider to middle age, dark-skinned, lean, dressed in a robe of ink-colored brocade, restrained and unassuming, with a kind face, but he is a very pleasant person.

"Thank you, I wonder if I can go into the house and have a look?" I said.

"That's natural, the princess can come to the humble house, it's too late for the little ones to be happy!, princess, please!" said the king, and made a gesture of please.

During the conversation, it turned out that all the family members of Wang Yuanwai's family also joined the ranks of firefighting, and at this time there were only the old mother, wife and children at home.

It seems that this king is a warm-hearted person, and I can't help but have a better impression of him.

Entering the house, I looked around, there is a square lotus pond near the Fengxian Building, and the lotus flowers are exhausted at this time, leaving only a pool of clear water. I took a look, the water was extremely deep, and it was not a problem to fight the fire, but the water source of Wang Yuanwai's house was solved.

So Wang Yuanwai led us up to the third floor of his house, there was no one living upstairs, made a viewing platform, transparent on all sides, standing on it can feel the heat of the fire in Fengxian Building, blowing in the face, thick smoke billowing, at this time blowing the wind, if the fire is not reduced, can not be controlled, even Wang Yuanwai's family is not spared.

After observing the terrain for a while, I probably had a number in my heart, and then asked Li's mother: "Which house is on the left side of Fengxian Tower?"

Mother Li and Wang Yuanwai glanced at each other, and were a little embarrassed and didn't speak for a long time.

I looked at the king again, "Is there no owner in any house?"

Wang Yuanwai smiled embarrassedly, "That's not it, the house is the mansion of Lord Xie Wenyuan, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, but Lord Xie doesn't deal with people very well, and he doesn't interact with us, so if he wants to get in, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

I glanced at Mother Li, only to see that she also nodded approvingly, and then said, "It's just that you are a princess, if you want to go in, I don't think he will be too embarrassed, right?"

Mother Li's words have no confidence.

I know what kind of person this Xie Wenyuan is, the last confrontation, he already despised me, where would he not embarrass me for the sake of being a princess, what's more, I am just a shameless country woman in his eyes, and the sparrow turned into a phoenix overnight!

I shook my head with a smile, I am really in trouble this time, if Xie Wenyuan's joint can't be opened, what I have to do next will be twice the result with half the effort, but this fire can't wait, no matter what, Xie Wenyuan is going to go on a trip.

"Mother Li, let's lead the way, let's go to Lord Xie's mansion. ”

Mother Li hesitated for a moment, she didn't know what I was going to do, originally Master Xie didn't treat them Qinglou women on weekdays, and when she came to the door at this time, even if she didn't get scolded, she would only have to eat behind closed doors.

On weekdays, they were fed up with Lord Xie's cynicism and contempt, and if she was asked to go to Lord Xie's mansion, she wouldn't have the guts.

I looked at Mother Li, who was motionless, suspiciously, "Is there anything difficult about Mother Li?"

I know a little bit of Xie Wenyuan's temper, and I can't even watch my performance that day, not to mention these long-experienced Qinglou women, who came to the door by themselves, and it was strange not to be scolded by him.

So I didn't embarrass Mother Li, after all, Xie Wenyuan's temper was there, turned to Wang Yuanwai, and said softly: "I don't know if Wang Yuanwai would like to visit Master Xie with me?"
