Chapter 45: The post house is on fire
As soon as the words fell, an attendant of the Dirong Kingdom ran in and hurriedly said to Helian Feng: "Third prince, no...... Oh no, there's a fire in our inn!"
"What?!" Helian Feng's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How can it catch fire in broad daylight?!"
The attendant hurriedly said: "Third prince, now that the fire outside is not small, please let the third prince go out quickly!"
After saying that, a puff of smoke suddenly poured in from the door.
Helian Feng's face really changed at this time, and he stepped out directly in a few steps.
As soon as he walked outside, Helian Feng really realized what the anxious look of the attendant just now was for, because now the Dirong National Post House was all on fire, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the room he had just stayed in had been blocked by fire.
It is conceivable that if he had been a step late, or if no one had reported to him, he might have been trapped in that room.
"What's the matter?" Helian Feng grabbed the attendant who had just reported to him and said, "Where did this fire come from?
This fire was obviously burning very fast, almost instantaneously, and he would never believe that someone was not behind it?
The attendant was already frightened when he saw the fire, but now he was caught by Helian Feng in his hands, where could he still speak? It took a long time to react, and he said tremblingly: "Go back...... Back to the Third Highness, I don't know if it's a little one...... Just now, somehow, several courtyards in our post house were up at the same time......"
Hearing the attendant's words, Helian Feng was almost certain that someone was deliberately setting fire!
"Brother Huang, what's going on?" Princess Helan, who had just returned to her courtyard, also rushed out of her courtyard with a disgraced face under the protection of the guards around her, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the post house that had turned into a sea of fire.
Because the country of Dijon is vast and sparsely populated, and the royal family of Dijon has always liked to be empty, the post house of Dijon country was not built in the bustling and prosperous capital of Izumo country, but on the outskirts of the capital.
And there are only a few other courtyards of the powerful in the capital of Izumo Province around the Dijon Country Post House, and it is not close to the post house, so for a while, only the post house of Dijon Country was built in the fire and turned to ashes.
Helian Feng's face was now gloomy and could drip ink, and when he heard Princess Helan's question, his face became even more unsightly, "How does this king know?
Hearing this, Princess Heran pursed her lips again, making it clear that in her eyes, what Helian Feng said just now was nonsense.
This fire is inexplicable, almost several yards are on fire at the same time, and as soon as it is discovered, the fire is already quite large. Unless her brain has been burned by fire, she will believe that today's incident is an accident.
"Brother Huang, do you know who did it?" Even though she saw Helian Feng's face was not good-looking, Princess Helan couldn't help but ask.
Helian Feng said impatiently: "I don't know ......"
Before he finished speaking, Helian Feng suddenly saw a red figure suddenly come out of the wall of the post house that was already on fire, and then quickly rushed to the side.
Almost without thinking about it, Helian Feng suddenly pulled his legs and chased after him.
Although most of the people of Dijon are brave, most of the children of the royal family are still cultivated both internally and externally, and Helian Feng is naturally no exception.
Helian Feng's light skills were not bad, even if the original figure had disappeared, but he still chased after him, chasing people until he came to a forest.
To the north of Dijon was a vast desert, and to the south was a grassland, and there were very few tall trees, let alone woods, so that Helian Feng had lost his way in a matter of moments when he had followed the man into the woods, and the figure he had followed in was gone.
Just as Helian Feng turned his head to look for it, a sharp wind suddenly swept towards him with a huge force that broke through the sky. Helian Feng's heart jumped, and he quickly dodged away, but the man seemed to have expected Helian Feng to dodge to the side, and reversed the direction the moment Helian Feng dodged, and kicked Helian Feng in the face.
Helian Feng was kicked back by this huge force, blood flowed out from under his nose and at the corners of his mouth, and even his originally heroic cheeks were bruised.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him regretfully and said, "Prince Helian, don't you ever look at the top of your head?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Helian Feng reluctantly came back from his drowsy thoughts, and the moment he saw Chu Xiaoxiao, his eyes widened: "Chu Xiaoxiao, it's you?!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao sneered and said, "What's the matter? It's very unexpected? I just asked your subordinates to notify you in advance, didn't he tell you?"
Helian Feng was speechless for a while.
The subordinate who came back did repeat Chu Xiaoxiao's words, but he didn't take it seriously, or rather, he didn't think that Chu Xiaoxiao would come so soon.
"Chu Xiaoxiao, you put that fire just now?!" Helian Feng couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Helian Feng's words, Chu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and said, "Otherwise, you don't really think that the fire can be ignited by itself, ......right?" It can be regarded as not in vain for this girl's hard work. ”
"You...... You dare to ......" Helian Feng was speechless for a while.
Although he was not the eldest son of Emperor Dijon, he was the most respected of his father's many princes, otherwise he would not have been sent to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Izumo on behalf of Dijon. Although Helian Feng has experienced a lot of battles since he was a child, he has always been smooth, and it can be said that he has never suffered such a big loss in his life!
Looking at Helian Feng's appearance in front of her, Chu Xiaoxiao smiled mockingly, "I thought you had already thought of this when you provoked me. Or is it true that Prince Helian is a widow and Chu Xiaoxiao is a widow, so why can a cat or a dog come and kick it?"
She doesn't believe that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, the person who said this is definitely because he does not have the strength to take revenge, for Chu Xiaoxiao, the problem that she can solve on the spot will definitely not be delayed until the next day, otherwise she will feel embarrassed when she eats and sleeps.
After thinking about it for three seconds, Chu Xiaoxiao decisively went straight to the Dirong Country Post House.
Helian Feng still couldn't believe it, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "Chu Xiaoxiao, you are just a courtier of the Izumo Kingdom, you dare to burn down the post house?
Is this Chu Xiaoxiao crazy? He dared to do such a thing, you know, such an act is tantamount to declaring war on Di Rong Country, where did Chu Xiaoxiao get so bold?!
