Chapter Eighty-Eight: Life and Death
"In the eyes of men, the remnants of their virginity are not worth paying half their attention - only power and fighting are your favorite in this life."
Wang Shuxuan smiled, but he felt that it was reasonable in his heart, so he didn't refute it.
However, the Twelve Niangs of the Jinlan Club are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they actually found the letter on Yuan Wugongzi's body, and they knew this plan. However, she has a good plan, and our 'big brother' has even crossed the wall ladder, so this time she simply started in Pingning Fang and sent everyone down to Huangquan together! ”
The more the red note spoke, the more proud she became, "Those explosives were originally buried by the twelve ladies in order to create chaos in the barracks after saving people, Lan Ning, that woman, thought she was sneaky and no one knew about it, in fact, I had already seen it in my eyes, and secretly dug it out and buried it here - Wang Lang, I can save you again!" ”
Wang Shuxuan listened to her proud narration, patted her pretty buttocks, and the comfort in his heart was almost overflowing - the kid surnamed Shen who took the credit from him, the boss who was like a mountain and a cliff, all went to the west in this short moment!
What a shock!
What a change!
After the shock, there was a huge joy: Ji Gang's death, Jinyiwei must be in a mess, he is from a noble background, and he is not lacking in wrists and faces, he may not be able to fight, even if he can't get to the top, he will definitely make the new commander look at it and make a good ......
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he laughed, only to feel that his hatred was extremely relieved, and most of the depression in his heart dissipated.
The man who was blinded by greed didn't realize that the flower-like beauty who was nestled next to him also stared at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: it was a bloodthirsty eye as bright as a peach and a plum, as poisonous as a snake and scorpion.

"What's going on? There are explosives!! ”
"Hurry up and save someone!!"
In the smoke of the fire, the officers and men screamed as hard as they could—they were the closest and the least prepared.
Rows and rows of houses have collapsed, many people are crushed underneath, and the protruding tongues of fire are raging mercilessly!!
The great luck in the misfortune is because of the "big event" that Luo Zhan is planning. Many families around the post house were moved out one after another a few years ago, and most of them were officers and soldiers who were injured.
In the midst of the broken rubble, a hand stretched out weakly, blood dripping from the palm, and the Jinyi guards who were searching everywhere saw it, and immediately shouted to move the stone away and save the person.
Rising coughed loudly and spat out the dust, and touched the wound on his shoulder that had been affected by the explosion—a long one, deep and bleeding, wrapped in it by the people around him. He just asked, "Have you seen a woman......?"
Everyone looked at each other, and some people hurriedly searched among the rubble next to them, but they didn't see anyone.
"Where have the people gone?"
Guangsheng didn't have time to think about it, raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were full of flames and sores, and hurriedly began to command the extinguishing of the mouth and the rescue of people.

The red tongue of fire swept everything around, and although the ignition sound of Bi Peeling was slight, it was like the footsteps of black and white impermanence, every time it sounded. All accompanied by more violent explosions.
Xiao Gu Mo opened her eyes vaguely, only to feel that the surroundings were hot and amazing, and the thick smoke made her cough constantly. Struggling to her feet, she finally heard everything that had happened before the explosion - at that moment, she threw herself down and hugged Xiao An, and jumped desperately into the Westinghouse.
Fragments of copper and iron were scattered all over the Westinghouse floor. The boxes that didn't have time to be shipped were dumped in a mess. Xiao Gu staggered and searched everywhere, and finally found Xiao An under a collapsed beam.
"Xiao An, wake up!"
Shouted out. Xiao An opened his eyes and closed them again, his breathing was calm again, and there were no more spasms and panting.
Maybe the acupuncture worked, or maybe it was the fall that hit the brain.
Xiao Gu had no time to tell the reason, she helped Xiao An up and struggled towards the direction of the door.
Blood slid down her eyes...... It probably hurt her forehead, and everything in front of her became more and more blurry and tilted, and the strong feeling of dizziness made her feel nauseous and want to vomit, but she still insisted on staggering forward.
Xiao An must be sent out of the city!
This belief sustained her forward, but the flames flew across the sky, enveloping everything, and the smoke became thicker and thicker, and the short distance was full of dangers!
His chest was occupied by the heat, almost suffocating, and the threshold that was close at hand was surrounded by tongues of fire—Xiao Gu finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground.
Damn it...... It's just a little bit there!
Xiao Gu found that her hands were trembling, probably because of her poor breathing - she trembled her hands and feet, dragging Xiao An hard, inch by inch, moving forward.
His eyes were getting black, and he was almost unable to see his surroundings, except for the carved wooden door and threshold, which were burning and glowing—so close that it seemed like he could rush out in a few steps, but it was the yin and yang line that separated life and death!
I...... Am I going to die?
Xiao Gu asked himself at this moment.
The people, things, and things that have passed in front of me begin to emerge in front of me, like illusion and reality, like dreams and fog.
Mother's voice and smile were like yesterday, looking at her so gently and lovingly, smiling and leaning on the threshold waiting for her to return.
She is naughty and naughty, and she is always accustomed to this little warmth, thinking that it can last forever.
At that time, she didn't know what life and separation were, what death was goodbye, what was unwanted, and what resentment would be.
Mother, I will never be able to return to you......
A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, Xiao Gu looked at Xiao An beside her, and suddenly burst out with the most powerful strength and pushed her out of the door.
Xiao An, there is a wide road outside the door, there is a mother waiting for you, you must see her!
Please, instead of me, be filial to your mother, and always be with her, so that she will no longer cry and no longer be sad.
Please continue my small and humble happiness for a long time.
And in the next moment, the roof ridge that had been scorched by the fire finally could no longer hold up, and the entire roof collapsed, and everything was drowned in the sea of fire.
*****
The fire spread more and more with the wind, and the man and woman on the cliff were talking and laughing heartlessly.
"This fire is really wonderful, it burns clean and thorough, it burns red, if you have wine in your hand, it will definitely float a big white!"
Wang Shuxuan smiled and was really satisfied.
The delicate and delicate body of the red note leaned down, and a touch of white and silky on his chest rippled slightly, just protruding in front of Wang Shuxuan's eyes, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and was about to reach out to touch the pair of jade rabbits, but he was dodged by the red note with a smile.
"Wang Lang, let's go down and have a look together, shall we?"
She pleaded with a voice, as long as it was a man, her heart would be moved.
"It's fire and smoke, it's too dangerous, isn't it?"
Wang Shuxuan was unable to move, and he was in a hurry to return to the capital to treat his leg injury, so he really didn't want to make trouble.
"You have to go down and take a look, aren't you curious, is that henchman dead, is Ji Gang, the old fox, really gone?"
When Wang Shuxuan heard this, he frowned, and only heard the red note complain: "Wang Lang, for you, I even betrayed the eldest brother of the Jinlanhui - a huge sacrifice, there must be something worthy, if they don't die, you won't have a day!" ”
When Wang Shuxuan heard this, his heart was immediately moved, and the red note stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair for a while, and drove down the mountain in the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

Xiao Gu woke up quietly, choking on the unpleasant smell of smoke mixed with other musty smells.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying flat, her fingers in the darkness.
I vaguely heard the noise of someone above, and white smoke wafted in from the gap above, but the smell was much thinner than in the fire before the coma, but it was strangely invisible to see the open flame.
Where is this?
She stood up, laboriously took out a fire wipe from the various purses in her arms, wiped it vigorously, and immediately burned.
The faint light of the fire illuminated the surroundings - this was a long, wide chamber, built with great elaborate construction, with the four walls neatly built with bluestone, and long stone steps extending from the ground to the bottom.
She took a closer look at her surroundings, especially the top of the smoke directly above, and finally realized where she was: it turned out to be a secret cellar.
Recalling the previous scene of almost being buried in the sea of fire, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice: the collapsed roof just now broke the ground, revealing a small opening in this cellar, and she was extremely lucky to fall down, so as to avoid being buried in the sea of fire.
She looked around with the phosphorus fire fluorescence in her hand, only to see a huge locust wood iron box in the cellar, and stepped forward to open it, and it turned out to be the silver snow armor used in the forbidden area.
These are more sophisticated and valuable than those sold to the Yuanmeng people before, and the style is not only used in the palace, but even the system used by the "Han generals" who guarded the imperial front!
Xiao Gu squinted, remembering the officials he had seen at home before the chaos and was drunk and indignant: those palace guards around the grandfather were given the special title of General Tianwu by him, but they didn't think about repaying the favor, but surrendered to the traitor Zhu Di, and won the name of the Han general, which sounded even more vulgar than before.
Regardless of vulgarity or elegance, the weapons of these imperial guards are the most sophisticated in the world, and even these can be obtained in a mere Luo Zhan, which is simply incredible!
She felt a pang in her heart: Luo Zhan had gone to great lengths to get these things, and they had gone to great lengths to hide them in the secret cellar of the West House of the Post House, apparently not to sell them to the Mongols to make a fortune - then, who was he for?
As the daughter of a Wenchen eunuch, Xiao Gu immediately keenly thought of the biggest possibility: someone wants to rebel and make trouble!!
From ancient times to the present, those who are ministers secretly possess fine armor, banners, dragon robes and other things, which are generally regarded as complicity and rebellion, even if they are princes and princesses, it is unforgivable.
These things are only afraid that they will involve a bigger insider.
Xiao Gu looked around, walked up the stone stairs, and when he got closer, he saw that the timber, tiles and stones piled up above gradually crackled, and the rubble continued to fall down.
It's not good, in the piled up ruins, the wood is burned by the fire, and it can't withstand the weight of the masonry, and it's going to collapse again!! (To be continued......)
