Chapter 101: Fighting Fires
The fire was shining and the heat was blowing in the face.
The homeless people watched from afar, and no one stepped forward to put out the fire, as they had done the night before, and let the tongue of fire lick the house uncontrollably.
They are more concerned about the fact that
"Fortunately, our house is far away, and the fire can't burn."
"Old man Luo's house has a lot of things hidden, who can burn it for so long."
β¦β¦
Yu Mingzhi couldn't listen to it, so he pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the front, only the guards sent earlier carried buckets back and forth, pouring the river water into the fire, but only heard the sound of "stabbing", a wisp of green smoke floated up, and it didn't have any effect at all.
"Where's Qin Ji?!" She asked, grabbing one of the guards by the collar.
The guard was taken aback by her current appearance, and replied hesitantly: "When the subordinates arrived here, the smoke of the fire had already been ignited, and they were not ...... The whereabouts of Childe have not been seen. β
Yu Mingzhi's mind was blank, and there was only one question leftβwhere is Qin Ji?
There seemed to be a familiar breath on her lips, and the person who had kissed her was nowhere to be seen.
She looked at the crowd again, carefully examining each face, trying to find a familiar face in it.
But I looked at it again and again, but I couldn't find it.
Despair and fear crept through my heart, and the last time I felt such a strong feeling was when my father was beheaded.
Loss of the dearest one.
It doesn't get much more painful than that.
She picked up a bucket and tried to extinguish the fire with the guards, but was stopped by Zhu'er, "Miss, you can't be impulsive. You've got a wound on your leg! β
Yu Mingzhi held back his tears, "One more person is a strength." β
Zhu'er snatched the bucket, "Why don't you let Zhu'er come!" β
"We're all in this together." Yu Mingzhi refused to back down.
Zhu'er couldn't help her, and was about to raise her hand to point her acupoint, when a familiar voice interjected.
"Zhizhi, I'm here."
Yu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, then turned her head suddenly, although the face that came into view was stained with soot and looked like she had drawn a face, but she recognized him. The next moment he jumped up and hugged him.
Qin Ji opened his arms. hugged Yu Mingzhi tightly in his arms.
For a moment, it seemed as if there was only each other between heaven and earth.
Yu Mingzhi sniffed hard, smelling a familiar breath, even if the dust on Qin Ji's face rubbed against his face, he didn't dislike it at all.
As long as he's still by his side. It's good to never leave.
experienced the life and death of a loved one. She cherishes her loved ones extraordinarily.
Pearls looked at their hugging figures. I'm glad from the bottom of my heart.
This is called guarding the clouds and seeing the moon.
Childe has worked hard for so long, and he has finally paid off.
There are many people around, and there are many people. Seeing that Gongzi was fine, Hang Yang waved his hand, and all the guards withdrew in batches, avoiding other irrelevant people, and gathered in front of a small cave in the hills not far away. Some of the guards were watching the wind around, and the rest followed Qin Ji closely, for fear of losing him again.
Uncle Luo was supported by Miss Luo, sitting on the stone in front of the cave, and smiled and waved when he saw that they were all back.
"Girl, are you back too? Great, I can rest assured. β
Yu Mingzhi looked around, knowing that they were safe, and asked, "What happened while I was away?" β
Qin Ji pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit on the stone as well.
Pearls took the lead and wiped the moss off the stones with a handkerchief.
Qin Ji stared at her knee and asked, "How is your leg injury?" Let Dr. Luo take a closer look. β
"Zhu'er has already helped me re-bandage, you can see that there is no more blood." Yu Mingzhi said: "Tell me about the situation here. β
Qin Ji shook his head with a smile, "Look, didn't I stand in front of you unharmed?" β
Yu Mingzhi took his hand, looked up, touched his sleeve, and took out the towel with the jade ruyi pattern he had embroidered, "Come, I'll wipe your face." β
She chuckled, motioning for him to look at the guard next to him.
Although these guards were expressionless, the Qin Sheren, who had always been high, suddenly looked like this, and they always felt a little uncomfortable.
Qin Ji obediently leaned closer to his face.
Yu Mingzhi carefully wiped off the dirt little by little, she was so focused that her lips were about to touch Qin Ji's cheeks without noticing.
Uncle Luo's grandfather and grandson, Zhu'er and a cadre of guards all consciously turned their eyes away.
"Wiped it off." Yu Mingzhi was watching with satisfaction as Qin Ji's gentle and handsome face reappeared in front of him cleanly, but who knew that Qin Ji suddenly went further, kissed her on the cheek, and then looked at her with a deep smile.
"Thank you."
Yu Mingzhi blushed, glanced at the people around him quickly, and scolded in a low voice: "What a disciple." β
Qin Ji smiled, as if this scolding sentence was not interesting.
Yu Mingzhi said: "Hurry up and tell me what happened after I left?" How could Uncle Luo's house catch fire? β
Qin Ji sat down next to her and said slowly: "Not long after you left, Miss Luo found that a group of people with faces sneaked into the village, and with the strength of the three of us, they would definitely not be able to defeat them, so Uncle Luo proposed to lead them into the house and burn the house." β
"But where is Uncle Luo going to live in the future?" Yu Mingzhi looked at the ancestors and grandchildren of the Luo family guiltily, if he could think of any other way to lead that group of people elsewhere, they would not have nowhere to go.
Luo Da waved his hand funny, "It's just a broken house, and you can build it if you don't have it." β
Qin Ji said: "Isn't there still me?" β
"Huh?"
"I will send someone to find a new place to build a house for Uncle Luo, so that he can live and practice medicine." Qin Ji patted the back of her hand and continued: "Uncle Luo, they arranged flammable things in the house, and then the action went very smoothly, Miss Luo took this opportunity to lock the front and back doors, and then fled here with me. I took a breath and heard from Miss Luo that the guards at home had been found, and you must have come back too. So I came to you quickly. β
Thinking of the fact that he had just returned to the door of Luo's house and saw Yu Mingzhi who was panicked and in pain, he felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but he felt relieved.
His branches are genuinely thinking about him.
didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly stepped forward to recognize her.
They finally untied the knot, really together, and didn't want to waste a little time.
Yu Mingzhi asked, "How is your wound after such a toss?" β
Seeing that she cared about her injuries first, Qin Ji's heart was as sweet as pouring the most mellow honey, "It's not a toss." It hurts a little. But Uncle Luo has seen it, and there is no problem. β
"Hmm......" Yu Mingzhi glanced at his shoulder, and said, "Are those people Shan Jingwei's subordinates?" β
Qin Ji nodded: "Judging from the dress, yes." β
Yu Mingzhi lowered his gaze. He nodded thoughtfully.
Qin Ji asked, "What's wrong?" Did you see anything on the way back? β
He's really sharp...... Yu Mingzhi told him everything he had to do with Yue Zhaohui and didn't hide it. ββ¦β¦ I expected him to guess seven or eight points. Maybe Zhao Zhong will be asked to send someone to kill you. When there was such a commotion, the men pounced like wild dogs......" She looked faintly and worriedly at the path from which she came.
Just like what Qin Ji met when he took her back to Beijing, how could those political enemies waste such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Qin Ji clenched her hand. muttered in a low voice: "Yue Zhaohui is indeed a troublesome ......"
His voice was very low, and Yu Mingzhi didn't hear it clearly, "What did you say?" β
Qin Ji smiled calmly: "Now that we have so many people, I don't expect them to dare to do anything." β
Yu Mingzhi said "um", "Now are we looking for a safe place nearby, or are we going back to Beijing?" β
Qin Ji looked at Hang Yang.
Hang Yang said: "The carriage has been arranged, and the guards brought are all top masters, if the prince wants to go back to the city, he can start now." β
"Let's go back." Qin Ji looked at Yu Mingzhi again, "Zhizhi has suffered outside for many days, and it's time to go home and enjoy it." β
Yu Mingzhi said: "You have to be kind to your injuries, the day when we will get married is not far away." β
"Okay." Qin Ji smiled and reached out to caress Yu Mingzhi's cheek.
The guards had already driven the carriage to the vicinity of the cave, and Yu Mingzhi helped Qin Ji to carefully walk down the dirt slope and get into the carriage. Zhu'er handed Yu Mingzhi all the softest cushions, and then she put them behind him one by one according to Qin Ji's needs, so that he could lean comfortably.
After watching Yu Mingzhi busy with herself, Qin Ji pulled her sleeve and asked her to lie down with her.
"Don't be busy, I'm fine now."
The carriage moved slowly, the groom driving cautiously, and the guards in front of him cleared the rocks or dirt pits that would cause bumps.
The car walked quite smoothly, but Qin Ji still frowned slightly.
Yu Mingzhi clasped his hands with his ten fingers, and comforted him repeatedly: "It's almost the capital, you bear with it first." β
Qin Ji leaned on her shoulder, "With you here, you can endure anything." β
Yu Mingzhi smiled softly.
Qin Ji suddenly said again: "Since Yue Zhaohui and the Zhao family are very close, it is very likely that the Shangzhou side has already taken refuge in King Yi, and sooner or later there will be a-for-tat confrontation, and then it will be your life and death." Zhizhi, if you have any requests, I will agree to you. β
As Zhizhi's former fiancΓ©, how could he not know that Yue Zhaohui had already inquired about him clearly.
Such a young man who was praised by relatives, friends, and the people of Shangzhou, with good character, good learning, and a prominent family background, could hardly find anything wrong, and was indeed the preferred son-in-law of the ladies of the official and aristocratic families.
Zhizhi was also very satisfied with this marriage.
He knows.
But after the Yu family had an accident, the Yue family immediately withdrew from the marriage and left the matter behind.
Their relationship used to be so good, emotionally speaking, before this time of crisis, the husband's family would hold a marriage in advance, so that the bride could escape the suffering of her mother's family.
But the Yue family didn't do this, even if they privately asked someone to bring some food and clothes into the prison.
It was as if they had never known Guo Yu's family.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, it is understandable, but to avoid such a sake, it has to be said that it is unkind.
Therefore, in his opinion, Yue Zhaohui is just a faΓ§ade.
Especially now, the repeated entanglement of the branches makes the branches always in danger of revealing their identities.
Then he had to deal with Yue Zhaohui.
Qin Ji stared at Yu Mingzhi, almost daring to blink his eyes, for fear of missing her momentary change in expression, and in the change, he could judge her thoughts.
Yu Mingzhi was thinking deeply at the moment, Yue Zhaohui was like this, it would indeed affect her and Qin Ji's revenge plan.
The love of the past was gone after her heart rushed to Qin Ji, or after she agreed to marry Qin Ji.
All she should be thinking about is how to make the plan run smoothly and not let anyone break it.
After a long time, she sighed faintly, "The overall situation is important, and I don't have any requirements." β
There are many paths in life, and when you choose different paths, you should face different endings.
Qin moved and grabbed her shoulder, "I understand." β
Yu Mingzhi closed his eyes and leaned quietly in his arms.
Soon, the carriage came to the gate of the city, and the queue in and out of the city was still very long, and after seeing the lantern hanging on the carriage with the word "Qin" pasted on it, the people who had heard of the Qin people consciously moved out of the way.
As soon as the guards at the city gate saw the carriage coming back, they looked at each other, and rushed forward curiously to greet the people in the Qin family's carriage.
The curtain of the car opened a corner, revealing half of Qin Ji's face, but this was enough for the people outside to take a good look.
Look at him safe and sound, and he has always appeared arrogantly in front of people.
His face was calm, and his tone was as cold as usual, "Are you going to send my car?" β
The guard denied it repeatedly, "The little one just wants to say hello to the Qin Sheren." β
"I'm fine, I don't care." Qin Ji asked coldly.
The guards hurriedly retreated to both sides, looking groveling and bowing, "Qin Sheren, please go slowly, and the little one will send off Qinsheren." β
Qin Ji didn't speak, dropped the curtain and responded to him.
The carriage continued to move forward, watching the carriage pass through the city gate, and looking at the dark red gate far behind him, Yu Mingzhi really breathed a sigh of relief.
She told Qin Ji about the rumors in the city again, "...... I don't know what kind of moths Zhao Zhong and Li Wangshan will do when you haven't been here for the past two days. β
Qin Ji smiled lightly, "Didn't I come back to clean them up?" β
Yu Mingzhi's finger tapped on his lips, "You take care of your injuries first." β
Qin Ji took the opportunity to kiss her finger, "Obey Miss Yu's orders." β
Yu Mingzhi smiled, and the whole person was relaxed.
Soon, the carriage returned to the front of the Qin family, and Hang Yang whispered outside the car: "The son of the Shangzhou Assassin family is still guarding the teahouse diagonally opposite, ...... you look."
"Let him watch." Qin Ji sneered, no matter how you look at it, Zhizhi is his person, and he will be for the rest of his life.
Yu Mingzhi noticed his little caution, glared at him with a smile, and then took a hat handed over by Zhu'er, and then the two held hands and came out of the carriage back and forth.
Qin Ji honestly stepped on the stool brought by the guards and got out of the car, then turned around and carefully and thoughtfully helped Yu Mingzhi down.
Yu Mingzhi cooperated with him, but he didn't really rely on him, for fear of hitting a wound and making him lose his temper on the street.
After getting out of the car, the hands of the two were still clasped tightly, and they strode into the gate of the Qin family. (To be continued.) )
