Volume 1 Chapter 38 The Seal of Gold and Jade
The smoke was billowing out, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the entire Bangyue Tower was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
Jiang Fu quickly appeared, surrounded the entire Bangyue Building, and a man with flames on his clothes ran out of the Bangyue Building, this person was Chen Xiaoan, the shopkeeper of the Bangyue Building.
Ying Jiu quickly rushed in with a dozen people and began to search.
Some of the customers also ran out in disgrace, and as soon as they ran out, they were immediately restrained by the soldiers of the Imperial Warrior Battalion.
After the soldiers helped extinguish the flames on their clothes, they immediately brought Chen Xiaoan to Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu had already investigated the situation of Bangyue Tower, and knew that this person was the shopkeeper, so he asked with a face, "What's the matter?" Why did the fire ignite. ”
Chen Xiaoan's face was covered with dust, and his face looked very ugly when he cried, "The villain doesn't know!" ”
"You're the shopkeeper, how can you not know?" The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and at this time, for Jiang Fu, catching the secret spy is secondary, and it is important to rescue Jiang Shenyu first, "Is Princess Lanxin still in the building?" ”
Chen Xiao'an felt a chill in his heart, he ran for his life just now, and forgot Princess Lanxin who had come to his shop before. If Jiang Shenyu died in this fire, then his life was probably not saved.
"In ......"
"Where? How many people are still in the building? Jiang Yu almost roared.
"Her Royal Highness the princess and Her Royal Highness the second prince of the Chu State are in the Opposite Moon Pavilion on the second floor...... There were more than 10 original guests, and there was also a noble guest who had just arrived......"
"Sinking fish!" Jiang Fu's face changed, if it was on the first floor, it was okay, there was still a chance to escape. But on the second floor, I wasn't so lucky!
He didn't care so much, he rushed straight inside, and the soldiers wanted to stop him, but he pushed those soldiers away with one hand and rushed directly inside.
The fire burned his face red, and he saw Kage-Nine kicking the door from room to room on the first floor.
"Shadow Nine, go to the second floor! The sinking fish is on the second floor! He shouted.
"Your Highness! How did you get here? Ying Jiu hurriedly ran over, "This is handed over to the subordinates, you get out quickly!" ”
"Nope! I'm going to get the sunken fish out! "I'm going to run to the second floor.
At this time, a man in black with a scar on his face jumped from the second floor, and he was still holding a long sword stained with blood in his hand. ”
The scarred man ignored him and hurried out.
The fire burned and the wooden pillars crackled, and he seemed to hear the sound of weapons handing over and fighting from the second floor.
He hurriedly led people to rush to the second floor, a man and a woman were fighting in the corridor on the second floor, and he recognized the woman at a glance as Jing'er, the maid beside Jiang Shenyu.
However, at this time, Jing'er's body was already covered with blood, and she fell into disadvantage.
Jing'er is five years old, and her strength is not bad, and the man who fought with her is much stronger than her.
He quickly drew the broadsword of the soldier next to him and rushed up to hold the man's sword, alleviating Jing'er's predicament.
Shadow Nine and the other soldiers also rushed forward, and no matter how strong the man was, he was unable to withstand the siege of so many people, and he was quickly subdued.
Jing'er was scarred, pointed to a room with a raging fire, and cried: "Your Highness, the princess is inside, and there is an acquired eightfold master!" Go and save her! ”
"The day after tomorrow, Yae!" Jiang Shenyu's heart is not good, Jiang Shenyu is only the sixth day after tomorrow, and he will definitely not be able to bear it for long.
Jiang Fu ran over and kicked the door open.
He saw a man and a woman lying in the room, judging from the outfits, it was Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu who had gone in before.
Xu Xiang had a big sword wound on his body, and the corners of Jiang Shenyu's mouth were covered with blood, and the two of them did not move at all.
At this time, the fire in the gatehouse and on the floor has surrounded the two, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger!
"Sinking fish!" Jiang Fu shouted anxiously, and was about to rush in.
But at this moment, a burning log on the door beam fell, but fortunately he was agile and turned back so that he was not smashed.
"Your Highness! The fire is too big to go in! Shadow Nine ran over and grabbed him.
"Fuck off! My sister is inside, and I don't know if I'm alive or dead! I'm going to save her! As he spoke, he rushed inside.
But the fire inside was getting bigger and bigger, and he tried several times in a row and failed! The fire on the floor had already burned to Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu, but neither of them moved.
"Sinking fish! Wake up! He couldn't rush in, so he shouted inside, hoping to wake them up.
"Xu Changsha, wake up your mother! Ahem...... "The smoke from the fire rushed down his throat, and he coughed twice involuntarily.
"Your Highness! It's so dangerous! Hurry up and get out! ”
"The water is coming! The water is coming! At this moment, hundreds of people carrying water from outside the Bangyue Building arrived and started to extinguish the fire from the first floor.
Although Jiang Fu tried again and again, the fire was too big for him to rush in.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Ying Jiu suddenly saw a large piece of wood wrapped in flames fall above Jiang Fu's head, and pushed him away, but he was smashed by the wood.
"Shadow Nine!" The soldiers hurried to help remove the wood.
"Your Highness, look at the top, the third floor is about to collapse! If we continue to consume it, we will all die here! Let's get out of here! The princess is afraid that it is ......" Shadow Jiu's face had been burned by the flames, and there was a hint of pain in his voice.
"Click", more and more beams fell, because the fire was too big, the beams on the third floor could not bear it, crumbling, and it would not be long before the entire third floor would collapse.
Jiang Cheng actually knew in his heart that the fire was so big, if Jiang Shenyu was still alive, he would definitely be awakened.
The scar swordsman just now must be the acquired eightfold master in Jing'er's mouth.
Since he retreated before he went upstairs, Jiang Shenyu and Xu Xiang were probably killed by him.
"Shen Yu, it's Brother Wang who is sorry for you." He looked at the two of them who were gradually engulfed in flames, and said in frustration: "Withdraw!" ”
The soldiers carried the wounded Shadow Nine and Jing'er and fled from the top of the second floor.
The moment he left, the entire third floor suddenly collapsed, and the flames grew bigger and bigger.
A steady stream of people tried to extinguish the raging fire with the water they had brought in, but it was only a drop in the bucket for the entire Bangyue Building, which had already burned most of it.
Bang Yuelou had completely fallen into the sea of fire, Jiang Fu was silent, and sat on the ground.
"Your Highness......" The team of the Imperial Martial Arts Battalion was coming, and he saw that this team was missing an arm, and the wound was bleeding, but it still came to his side tenaciously.
"What's going on?" Jiang Fu asked in a hoarse voice.
The team was kneeling down, "Your Highness forgive your sins, there is a swordsman who ran out of the Bangyue Tower, and the brothers are not his opponents...... Subordinates also ......"
Jiang Fu's fist was clenched, and a fist hung on the stone floor, blood suddenly flowed from his fist, but he didn't feel pain, and the pain in his heart at this time was even worse than his body.
"You go down first to heal your wounds." He had to take care of everything, and he stood up, "Shadow Seven! ”
"The subordinates are here!" Ying Qi's face was also covered with ash at this time, and at the moment of the fire, Jiang Fu asked him to gather people to fetch water to put out the fire. Although he gathered hundreds of people, he was unsuccessful.
"The artist draws an image of the scarred swordsman and publishes the sea fishing paperwork! Huge bounty! Be sure to find someone for me! ”
"Yes!" Shadow Seven departed.
"Your Highness, we've caught two people! Drawings were found on one of them! Another soldier from the Imperial Warrior Battalion walked over with two men and handed him a drawing.
Jiang Fu took the drawing, this drawing is not much different from the drawing that Xu Xiang handed over to Donghai, it should be the one that Xu Xiang stole it.
Those two, one was the person who pretended to be a nobleman I had seen before, and the other was wearing the clothes of a guy running from Bangyue Tower.
"Escort everyone back and interrogate them one by one, and I will go back and interrogate these two people personally!"
Some of the soldiers escorted people back, while others stayed here to continue fighting the fire.
Jiang Fu also stayed, although he knew in his heart that Jiang Shenyu and Xu Xiang had little chance of being alive, but he still wanted to stay.
After about an hour, the fire was finally brought under control.
The main reason is that it has almost burned out, and with a steady stream of water coming to extinguish the fire, the fire has been extinguished.
But Bangyue Tower had been burned to ashes, and the soldiers had dug out two corpses from the rubble.
"Your Highness." The soldier came to Jiang Fu with a blackened object in his hand.
Jiang Fu took the thing with a heavy heart, and gently wiped off the dust on it, revealing the golden jade.
This piece of jade is also called golden jade.
The inheritance of the royal family of the East China Sea, the one who gets the woman is a treasure from heaven, it is for the gold and jade, the title of the princess, the bounty silk shirt, and the seal of the gold and jade.
The seal of gold and jade is the seal of the princess.
This piece of gold and jade, although it was burned on the surface, could vaguely see the two big characters "Lan Xin" on the seal.
"It's the princess's princess seal!" Jing'er cried in grief and burst into tears.
Tears flowed involuntarily from the corners of Jiang Fu's eyes, he held the princess seal tightly, wiped away the tears with his sleeve, and said to the soldier in a hoarse voice, "Send the princess home." ”
