Chapter 026: Arson

Li Chengqi's rude behavior made Shen Yan panic. She even regretted her previous decision www.biquge.info she thought that she should never agree to go to the capital with him and reveal the mystery of the brocade box.

As his five-finger steel pliers clasped her right hand, she couldn't break free, so she aimed at his forearm and bit down hard. Li Chengqi was in pain and let out a "sizzle" sound. But instead of letting go of his restraints, he stretched out his other hand and pulled her into his arms, making her sit between his legs.

"Huo Guard, save me!" Shen Yan was in a hurry for a while, and actually asked Huo Qing, who had solved the trouble for herself.

Huo Qing, who was outside, was a little uncomfortable when he heard the movement inside, and he was even more at a loss when he heard Shen Yan ask for help from him. He thought for a while and asked, "What do you have to tell Master Hou?" ”

"Keep on your way." Li Chengqi locked Shen Yan without concealing it.

"You let go of me!" Shen Yan lowered her voice and struggled as she shouted.

Li Chengqi just grabbed her hand, which made her react so much, and as a result, it also caused the current situation, which Li Chengqi did not expect. He only wanted to scare her, he didn't want her to be so frightened that he didn't know how to end it.

"I'm just kidding you, are you serious?"

"Let go of you, a disciple!"

Li Chengqi carefully loosened the restraint on her, and when he saw that she didn't throw her hand and hit herself like last time after she bounced away, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't make trouble, let's all sit down." ”

Shen Yan gasped, half-believing his words, until she saw him sit back in her place, she sat down far away. But her gaze always fell on his face, and she didn't take it off for a moment. It wasn't until she calmed down that she felt that her previous reaction was a little too sensitive.

"I saw that you were asleep and staggered, so I stepped forward to let you lean on, which was also a good heart." Li Chengqi explained and asked rhetorically: "How can you treat this piece of kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?" ”

"What kind of intentions would people like you have?" Shen Yan was at a loss for reason, so her voice was not loud, and just muttering like this could be regarded as relieving the resentment in her heart.

Li Chengqi saw that she was no longer so reasonable, and lowered her head and her eyes flickered, so he didn't say anything more.

It is not far to go to the capital, and if you travel under the stars, you can arrive at dawn the next day. But Li Chengqi said that he was not busy going to the capital, so before dark, they found an inn to settle in a small town that was about to leave Ning'an City.

This inn is small and old, and the interior layout is very simple. But it is said that in this town, in addition to the post station, there is only this side of the inn, and the non-official family stays in the middle of the night, and it is the only one to choose. However, there are still very few passers-by who choose to stay here, and most of them would rather stay in Ning'an City for one more day or a starry night than live in such an inn.

The reason why Li Chengqi decided to stay here for one night was to take care of Shen Yan without being in a hurry, and he didn't want her, a little woman, to follow the two men to rush at night.

They were given three of the best rooms on the second floor.

Shen Yan thought that this night passed peacefully, and the next day would usher in an ordinary day. As everyone knows, not far from the town, a mysterious man wearing a silver-gray mask and a blood-red dress gathered six people in black and was plotting a terrifying thing.

"From the roof to the corners of the walls, tung oil must be drizzled. Early tomorrow morning, I don't want to see anyone run out alive. The man in red spoke in a voice that was neither yin nor yang, but his tone was extremely fierce. The silver-gray mask on his face glowed with a chilling glow in the night.

The six men in black answered and ran away.

In the middle of the night, Shen Yan was asleep, and dimly heard someone shouting "on fire", and in an instant, she felt choked again, and finally woke up.

Looking out the window, she only saw the fire in the sky, which had already crawled horribly over the wall, leaving her with no way to escape and no way to retreat! She was so frightened that she shouted "help", but no one seemed to hear her cry for help except for the shouting and shouting.

What about Huo Qing? What about Lee Seung-ki? Are they also trapped in the fire? Will they be able to get out and save themselves? For a moment, these thoughts crept into her heart, making her even more uneasy.

In the cold and late autumn, the firelight outside illuminated the sky, and the people of the entire inn were shrouded in the fireworks that filled the sky, almost out of breath.

"Master Hou, can you hurry down?"

"Help."

Li Chengqi and Huo Qing woke up in their sleep when they heard the sound of the roof, but when they chased out, the men in black had already set off torches, and the entire inn was on fire in an instant. Fortunately, the roof has not been completely sprinkled with tung oil by the man in black, and there is still a foothold.

Seeing the fire that was about to engulf the entire inn, Huo Qing hurriedly persuaded Li Chengqi to jump out of the sea of fire. However, Li Chengqi dropped a word to save people, and found the right place to go under the roof.

Shen Yan heard a "pop" behind her, and saw Li Chengqi descending from the sky.

Without waiting for her to react, Li Chengqi stepped forward and grabbed her waist, carried her to jump in the air, flew onto the roof, and carried her to the ground.

"Wait for me here, don't go anywhere." Li Chengqi explained, then flew into the sea of fire again, and together with Huo Qing, he rescued a few people trapped in the inn, and only gave up until he could no longer do anything.

Looking at this thrilling scene, looking at Li Chengqi's figure of saving people regardless of his own safety, Shen Yan was stunned. All she was thinking about was Li Chengqi. She never expected that the selfish Li Chengqi would have such kindness, and would disregard his own safety to save the lives of some strangers.

After a while, Li Chengqi and Huo Qing both stood in front of Shen Yan with a disgraced face. They were so smoky that they didn't look like anything anymore.

"Those men in black are so vicious that they set fire to the inn." Huo Qing was indignant, "I don't know who they are, why they want to burn the inn." ”

"Let's find a place to wash it first." Li Chengqi couldn't bear the dirt on his body, and he didn't talk about it for a while.

Just as they were leaving, a long scream rang out from the inn. This scream caused everyone to stand silent for a moment. After that, their mournful cries became even more heart-wrenching.

"Who did this evil......

"I'm not alive anymore......"

Some people feel wronged and cry, while others despair because of the loss of their loved ones.

I am afraid that only the most vicious people can do such a vicious thing, and pity these many innocent lives are buried in this sea of fire.

"Miss Shen," in a crisis situation, only Li Chengqi took his belongings - because among them were the brocade box and keys left by Empress Duanjing. He took out a cloak of his own from his baggage and draped it on Shen Yan, who didn't have time to put on his coat, and persuaded: "The dead are gone, let's go." ”

The firelight has stained the sky red. At this time, Shen Yan's mind was actually blank.

Not far away, a white-bearded old man who was rescued by Huo Qing from the inn looked at the direction in which Shen Yan, Li Chengqi and the others were leaving, and quietly followed. But he always followed only from a distance, and did not seem to plan to come closer.
