Chapter 39: Saving Ling Han

Braving the raging fire, I took a few steps across the corridor from the main hall to the northernmost small room, feeling that my clothes and hair were burned, only to see that the wooden partition between the small room and the hall was basically all on fire, the curtain of unknown material hanging on the door of the room had been burned out, the wooden door frame was on fire on all sides, and the small door leading to this room had become a real flame door.

Liu Fan didn't care about all this at all, he got into it with a short body, felt that several places on his body had been ignited, he didn't have time to think about it, he rolled on the ground and extinguished the flames on his body, and in the smoke of the fire, he vaguely saw the two girls lying motionless on the ground, his heart tightened, I don't know if the two of them were temporarily unconscious, or ......

Liu Fan searched for a little, found a wooden bucket filled with water in the corner, immediately dumped half of it on himself, tore off half of his clothes and soaked it in the bucket to cover his mouth and nose, poured the remaining half of the bucket of water on the two girls, leaned over and picked up the two of them and rushed to the door, although it was only a few minutes from entering the door to now, but the fire outside the lounge was more fierce than when it came, and the hall looked like it was raining fire, From time to time, wooden beams with fire fell from above.

A low voice came from his arms, "Brother Liu." ”

In the blink of an eye, I don't know if it was the reason for splashing the water, Ling Han had already woken up, Liu Fan's heart was relieved, his body was instantly full of vitality, and he didn't hesitate, and flew towards the door.

As soon as he took two steps, his body was hit hard by a piece of falling and burning Zhengwang wood, and instantly felt as if his waist had been broken, and the huge pain on his back was mixed with burning, but at this time, because he was carrying two lives, he could only grit his teeth and move forward, and the burning pain from time to time on his body showed that he was constantly hit by falling flames, and finally insisted on reaching the door, Liu Fan felt that the white horse passed through the gap for a few seconds as if he had gone through a thousand difficulties and dangers, his legs were weak, and he slowly sat down on the steps outside the door.

At this time, the courtyard outside the door was already crowded with firefighting soldiers, some holding torches for lighting, and some were tools for holding water, at this time the part of the second room and the main house that had been ignited had been extinguished, and most of them had stopped their movements, just staring at the northwest and southwest directions, it seemed that the main house had been abandoned, just trying to keep the north and south second rooms.

The incessant loud noise in the courtyard was only a buzzing sound in Liu Fan's ears, and in the midst of this uproar, accompanied by a heart-rending cry, a noble lady broke free from her restraints and rushed over, followed by four or five maids.

And in the blink of an eye, a group of soldiers also rushed over, and when Ling Han and the little girl were taken away by a group of maids, Liu Fan was also carried out by five or six soldiers, and Ling Han's hoarse voice faintly came from his ears, "Mother, I'm fine, there is Brother Liu." ”

Waiting to lift out the gate of the courtyard, several people did not care about Liu Fan put down, only to hear a dull roar behind him, Liu Fan turned around and saw a huge flame with dust straight into the sky, accompanied by the exclamation of the soldiers in the courtyard, the body instantly felt a layer of dust, it seems that the roof of the main house has finally burned down.

Liu Fan exhaled deeply and said happily: "It's so dangerous, there is only a minute or two difference between this and this, and God still cares for him very much." ”

A group of soldiers carefully placed Liu Fan on a felt carpet, and Liu Fan noticed that the open space outside was as bright as day under the light of torches, and it was full of people from far and near, men and women, old and young, many of them were disheveled, and they were hastily pulled out of their sleep when they heard the fire in the palace.

There was a layer of heavily armed sergeants around the perimeter, and a group of women in the north were gathered together, talking very loudly, and the two girls who had just been rescued by themselves seemed to be surrounded in the middle.

A gray-haired Lang Zhong walked steadily towards the group of women, followed by a boy carrying a box, Liu Fan recognized that it was Ye Guangbu, a famous doctor who treated his injuries, and the women scattered one after another, making way for Ye Yishi.

After only a while, Doctor Ye said in that special shrill voice: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's okay, I don't know how Miss Guo came out, she didn't even have a small blister on her body, this life is really expensive, but the back of the head is swollen, maybe he fell down and knocked there, and a little injury will be fine in two days." ”

"This little girl is just faint from the smoke, and she woke up as soon as she came out and took a few breaths of fresh air, and it is estimated that she didn't stay in the house for long, nothing happened, and there would be no bad consequences."

When Liu Fan heard Doctor Ye's words, he was even more relieved.

At this time, Doctor Ye had already diagnosed the two girls, and walked towards him with a large group of people, although the leader had gray hair and his forehead was covered with wrinkles like knife carvings, but he looked extraordinary at a glance, and as he approached, he squinted a pair of triangular eyes, and looked at himself with a knife-like gaze.

In addition to this person, Liu Fanduo, the other people who came with this person next to him, knew a lot, needless to say, Ye Yishi, who was once his old superior, the deputy head of the Northwest Battalion, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, and Ling Han's father, General Guo Huaide; Song Changshi, who was in charge of the baggage battalion in the northwest camp, Xu Li, the prefect of Liangzhou, General Sima Fengxian of the Shenwei Army, General Li Shouyi of the Shence Army, Chen Shu, deputy commander of the A Brigade of the Shenwu Army, and Li Min took this person's arm and walked over together.

And in the midst of this, Liu Fan felt in a trance that there was a gloomy gaze staring at him, and he instantly felt a cold air on his body penetrating from the top of his head into his heart and lungs.

Liu Fan saw this formation clearly, and already understood that the person in the center was the auxiliary general of Daqi, the king of Lintao County, Li Min's father, and the general manager of the northwest camp Li Zongxiong.

Next to him, Li Min was just about to speak, but Li Zongxiong shook his head lightly at Li Min.

Liu Fan got up with difficulty at this time, took a step forward with his right foot and raised his hand to arch his fist, and was ready to salute, Li Zongxiong said in a low voice, "The wounds you left on the battlefield are not yet healed, and you may be burned again today, so don't salute." ”

Although Li Zongxiong had already said that there was no need to salute, Liu Fan still struggled to walk on one knee and made a big salute in the army, took a deep breath and calmed down, and reported: "Liu Fan of the Jincheng Military Brigade meets the chief manager!" ”

Li Zongxiong didn't speak immediately, just glanced at Li Shouyi, Li Shouyi immediately stepped forward to help Liu Fan up, only to hear Li Zongxiong say: "From today on, you are not the deputy brigade commander of the Jincheng Army A Brigade, you are already the Sima Du Lieutenant of the Shence Army under the command of the Northwest Battalion, when you are injured, you will go to the Shence Army to report and be a deputy to Shouyi!" ”

Liu Fanleng took a moment to react to the meaning of Li Zongxiong's words, and felt as if the blood all over his body was concentrated on his face, and everything in front of him suddenly became blurry, his head seemed to be buzzing, and he couldn't even say half a sentence when he opened his mouth for a while.

It took a long time to wake up from the trance, stand up and give a military salute, and said loudly: "Obey the order, and the post will live up to the kindness of the generals such as the camp and the chief manager, deputy general manager, etc." ”

I saw Guo Huaide say: "Xiao Liu, don't think wrong, this has nothing to do with Zhiyu, it is your own many times to the camp to give advice, and on the battlefield knife and gun fight, what you did is not only clear to the chief manager and me, but also recognized by many generals in the camp, not to mention that if you didn't come to the rescue in time, Xiao Min and Han'er may not be standing here well." ”

After Guo Huaide finished speaking, Li Zongxiong said: "You are not only brave and resourceful at a young age, but also have a calm heart, not to be impatient, this is especially precious, I and Lao Guo These old guys will retire sooner or later, the future is for you young generals, I hope you will assist Shouyi well, and in the future you will have the ability to support the world in the northwest of Daqi." In addition, I heard Min'er say, you have some ideas about military training, wait for the Shence Army to report on the first brigade of the Shenwu Army and Min'er to go to the training once, it is best to have results before the end of the year, if it is feasible, you will lead the trained soldiers to the capital to participate in the military parade in the New Year. ”

Liu Fan immediately stepped forward and gave a military salute again, and said, "Obey orders." ”

Li Zongxiong said again: "Next, basically nothing to do with me, Lao Song, none of the clerks and guards who participated in the account verification in the baggage camp tonight can leave, even if it is tonight, there is not much time before dawn, tomorrow morning, Lao Guo will be personally responsible, you and Lao Xu will assist in inquiring one by one, and try your best to investigate the cause of today's fire clearly, so as to give an explanation to the camp and Qincha." The others should go back and rest as soon as possible, and leave the rest of the time to Lao Ye, let Lao Ye see if there is anything wrong with this young man. ”

Guo Huaide, Song Changshi, Xu Li and others all respectfully received the order.

The old Ye next to him said with a sharp voice: "This kid has rough skin and thick meat, and it is estimated that it is not a big deal to burn a few pieces of oily skin, let me take a look." ”
