Xu Miaoyi took out the compass in her arms, looked at the direction where the fire was slightly sparse and closest to the lake, and quickly found the route, she put on a hat, this thing can temporarily block the fire, and swooped in the direction of the route.

Halfway up the mountain, the evening breeze had burned the sparks to the island, the trees that had not yet reached maturity were burning, and the low thorn bushes had turned to ashes. Xu Miaoyi was sweating, there was fire everywhere in her vision, she turned on the compass, only to find the right direction again, through the sea of fire, to a winding stone road, she rolled on the spot, extinguished the fire on the trouser legs, the smooth and white ankles have been burned out of the blister, she didn't feel pain at all, and continued to move forward according to the route in her memory.

At the end of the stone road is a hand-copying verandah, at this time the hand-copying verandah has begun to burn, from the wooden floor to the ceiling is fiery red, becoming a fire dragon lying in front of it! If you want to escape, you must pass through this fire dragon.

Xu Miaoyi thought about countermeasures, and ran out on the back of the fire dragon as fast as possible, her body would definitely catch fire, if she was lucky, she quickly took off the burning clothes after running out, and she could pick up a life.

But I was afraid that when I crossed the fire dragon, the pillars of the verandah would be burned, and the glazed tiles of the roof would collapse together, burying her in the fire dragon and burning her alive.

Xu Miaoyi wiped her sweat, her face was full of black ashes, sweat washed the ashes, black and white, very funny, look at how God instructs! She pulled out a copper coin, threw it into the air, and caught it with the back of her hand.

Well, it's positive, God wants her to quickly retreat and find another way out.

Xu Miaoyi smiled, threw the copper coin into the fire dragon, and shouted at the dark night sky as if mockingly: "Little island land lord! Today, if I, Xu Miaoyi, can get out alive, it is you who let me live, and I swear that I will rebuild the island and recover everything like Shen Wanshan did back then; If I die here—"

Xu Miaoyi paused and said: "Eighteen years later, I, Xu Miaoyi, have been reincarnated and reborn, and I still track it down to the end, swearing to fight the real murderer to the end, until I die!" ”

The burning fire dragon crackled, defying Xu Miaoyi's declaration of war.

Xu Miaoyi took a few steps back, rubbed her hands, looked at her, and rushed towards the fire dragon!

Suddenly, she heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the horses neighed, Xu Miaoyi quickly retracted her pace, and suddenly saw a horse galloping across the fire dragon in the air!

The horses and knights were wrapped in a thin quilt soaked in the lake, revealing only two pairs of shiny horse eyes and human eyes, like a lion passing through the fire dragon.

The moment a person and a horse passed by Xu Miaoyi, the man leaned down, stretched out his hand to hold her waist, and carried her onto the horse's back!

Xu Miaoyi sat in front of him, familiar chest, familiar heartbeat, familiar breathing. Unexpectedly, after a short break, he came to her.

"Keep your head down, bury yourself in the wet quilt, and we'll rush out again." Zhu Di looked at her burnt hair and the bubbles on her neck, and felt distressed.

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, the burning hand-copying verandah in front of them could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a bang, blocking the last retreat, and they could no longer rush out, unless Zhu Di's mount had wings.

The fire dragon roared with the power of the collapse, and Zhu Di controlled the horse to retreat, dodging the fire dragon's attack and looking for another way out.

Desperate to survive. Xu Miaoyi didn't dare to look back at him, "I'...... I've been pretending to have amnesia and lied to you, you...... Why are you still looking for me? ”

Zhu Di said: "I like you, this will not change because you deceived me." My heart is a stone, and I can't turn it. My heart is a bandit, and I can't be swept away. Miaoyi, the previous tragedy has happened, I am mortal and cannot change your painful past, but I can face the difficulties of the present and the future with you. ”

Scorching air, words that are hotter than air. Xu Miaoyi felt that she was about to melt into Zhu Di's arms, for the first time in her life, she relaxed herself and leaned firmly on Zhu Di's chest, those heavy pasts seemed to have been removed, those defenses were also dispersed, and she threw away her armor in front of his attack.

Yes, she is afraid of love and marriage, but she can't refuse such Zhu Di, such affection.

Your heart is a stone, and you can't turn it.

My heart is hot, and I am finally warmed by you.

However, the situation was critical, and she was not allowed to think about it more, Xu Miaoyi turned on the compass, recalled the general layout of the small island she saw when she stood in the pavilion, pointed to the southwest direction and said, "Do you see that burning lighthouse?" There is a small cliff over there, and if you rush over the cliff, you can jump directly into the lake to escape. ”

Zhu Di acted according to the plan, patted the horse's belly, and galloped away in the direction of the lighthouse. The horse's hooves had iron horseshoes on it, and at this time it was also burned red by the hot ground, and the horse was in severe pain, and it seemed to smell the moisture of the lake in front of it, and ran away, and with a neigh, it plopped into the cool water.

Under the huge impact force when falling into the water, Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Di separated in the water. Xu Miaoyi grew up in the water town of Suzhou, the water is excellent, but the scalded part touched the lake, stinging and itchy, she overcame the pain and surfaced, hurriedly looked around, looking for Zhu Di, thinking that even if they were separated, they should be nearby.

"Zhu Di!" Xu Miaoyi shouted loudly while swimming in the water. Still didn't respond, she began to panic, wondering if she was entangled in the aquatic weeds fishing net when she fell into the water? Or simply stunned by the lake?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she simply dived into the water again to look for Zhu Di, but the moon was dark and the wind was high, and she couldn't even see clearly outside, let alone in the lake?

Xu Miaoyi dived into the lake several times to find Zhu Di, but in vain, she began to despair, the thief is too unreasonable, why should she take away the people she loves one by one!

Xu Miaoyi wiped her face, it was wet, I don't know if it was the lake, sweat, or tears.

"Miaoyi!" A familiar voice rang out.

"Oh, I finally found you, Miss Xu, if I don't see you again, King Yan will throw me into the lake to feed the fish." The chamberlain Ma Sanbao rocked the boat and was overjoyed.

"Miaoyi, get on board." Zhu Di stretched out his right hand towards Xu Miaoyi in the water, his hair and clothes were soaked, and there was still a look of anxiety on his face.

Xu Miaoyi stretched out her hand to him without hesitation, but at the moment when the two of them touched their fingertips, her legs that were stepping on the water tightened and spasmed in severe pain, and she lost control, she sank into the water, choked a few times, and was swept into the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake......

When she woke up, Xu Miaoyi saw her second brother Xu Zengshou, she was very disappointed and asked, "Where is King Yan?" ”

Xu Zengshou handed her a bowl of black medicine, "Awake?" Drink it yourself. King Yan is on this official ship, he is a foreign man, how can he come and go in and out of your boudoir at will. ”

The scalded skin has been coated with plaster, but it is still painful, Xu Miaoyi drank the medicine honestly, looked out the window, the egrets were flying, the river was vast, and said, "Let's go to Shaoxing." In fact, it doesn't matter if you go or not, the other party has already prepared a perfect plan to wipe everything clean. Second brother, catch Shen Rong first, and-"

Xu Miaoyi originally wanted to talk about Yankee, but the secret of the treasure map was given to her by the county lord of Yong'an, and it was inconvenient to make it public, so she changed her words and said: "And protect Luan Hachiro, his sister has been killed by gangsters, and he can't be put in danger." ”

"If you investigate the case, you will know that you are about to die, and you will continue to investigate!" Looking at his pale sister, Xu Zengshou was angry and distressed, "I was almost burned and drowned, and I picked up a small life, and I was injured all over." The murderer behind the scenes killed people and set fires, this matter has become a big problem, the emperor ordered you to stop, return to Beijing immediately, and do not allow you to investigate in private, and order the people of the Governor's Mansion to investigate the new and old cases together. ”

"No way!" Xu Miaoyi put down the medicine cup heavily, "This matter is related to dozens of lives of my mother and grandfather, how can I stand idly by!" ”

Xu Zengshou knew his sister's stubborn temper, and persuaded: "The emperor's order, do you dare to resist the order?" You don't have to worry, the emperor also wants to find out the real culprit, this person is so bold that he actually set fire to the island, and even my father flew pigeons to pass a book to me, saying that it is too dangerous and must take you home. ”

"This time the burning of the island was instigated by Shen Rong, you disguised yourself as a little monk and left Suzhou without a trace that day, King Yan immediately sent someone to follow Shen Rong, and found that Shen Rong bought a murderer to attack you, he took people to West Lake overnight to rescue you from the sea of fire."

Emperor Hongwu ordered to personally intervene in this matter, which means that this case has become a royal case, and idle people must avoid it. Xu Miaoyi didn't dare to resist openly, secretly thinking that the case was closed to Mao Xiang, and she could inquire about the news from Mao Xiang, and she planned to find another hidden clue - Yankee.

I heard that Yankee recently went to the newly established Guozijian to be a sacrificial wine, and after returning to Jinling, he found an opportunity to go to Guozijian to check Yankee's details.

Xu Miaoyi made up her mind and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the second brother and go back with you." However, the emperor said that we are not allowed to investigate the case privately, but we can cooperate with the investigation of the pro-soldier governor's mansion, right? I'm going to interrogate Shen Rong myself and ask him why he wants to kill me. ”

As soon as he heard the word Shen Rong, Xu Zengshou hated it and said, "I will also try him personally!" Dare to touch my sister, tired and crooked. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "This time, every time I came out, I found something, and the clues were immediately broken, will this Shen Rong also be killed?" Watch over him well. ”

Xu Zengshou threw a portrait to her and sighed: "You guessed right, this middle-aged man who instigated Luan Balang to beat us and forced Miss Luan to death also died, the body was found in the river, his face was soaked and deformed, and the post-mortem made it a long time to identify him before he was sure that it was him." ”

Xu Miaoyi was not surprised at all, and said, "Then you need to be optimistic about Shen Rong even more." ”

Xu Zengshou said: "Don't worry, Mao Xiang watched it personally, ate and lived with him, and he will definitely be able to return to Jinling alive." ”
