(Chapter 90) Jiangnan Smoke and Rain (40)
"Young Master, Young Master, where are you?"
"Lord Gu Xiang, Lord Gu Xiang?"
"Young Master?"
The sky-high fire burned half of the sky, the dark night seemed weak under the light of the fire cloud, it seemed that it would be swallowed up by this red cloud at any time, the more the fire, the night was forced to retreat, the blazing temperature spread around one by one, a suffocating breath also dispersed, the raging fire was accompanied by billowing smoke, and the footsteps of death began to devour everything around him little by little.
At this moment, there were two small figures constantly shuttling between the firelight, calling someone's name in a low voice, and suddenly a high pavilion could no longer withstand the burning of the fire and collapsed, and the smoke and dust rushed to the surroundings like a hurricane in an instant, and then crashed abruptly on the surrounding buildings, rising heavily, and slowly falling.
"Jingyang, are you okay?" Chen Yi moved away from the wooden pillar that had fallen and shouted at Jingyang, who was stuck in the pit.
Jingyang covered his mouth and coughed violently, the smoke and dust around him kept pouring into his mouth, and he could only try to slow down his breathing.
"I ...... Ahem...... I'm fine, you go find Gu Xiang, I can come up myself. ”
Chen Yi was worried about Gu Yuancheng's safety, but Jingyang's condition was not good, so he still decided to pull him up first.
"Jingyang, I'll put my saber down, you hold on, I'll pull you up."
Jingyang waved his hand desperately at him, "No, you go to Gu Xiang." ”
Chen Yi didn't listen to what she said, untied his saber and stretched it out as much as he could, "Jingyang, grab it." ”
Seeing that Chen Yi was insistent, Jingyang didn't dare to hesitate to waste time, raised his hand and grabbed his sword, and he also used his internal force to rush out with Chen Yi's strength.
As soon as he got outside, Jingyang lay on the ground and coughed incessantly, coughing so much that his face turned pale and he was almost suffocated.
"Are you alright?" Chen Yi looked at him and coughed badly, a little uneasy.
Jingyang waved his hand, "Let's go...... Ahem......"
Chen Yi stretched out his hand to help Jingyang, and said while helping, "You may have been injured by the smoke, I will help you, we have to get out of here quickly." ”
"No, Gu Xiang hasn't found it yet." Jingyang was already a little out of strength, but he didn't want to drag Chen Yi down because of himself, "You go quickly." ”
Of course, Chen Yi knew what he was thinking, but just letting Jingyang fend for himself here was not something he could do, and he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but he suddenly heard a slight strange sound behind him, and immediately drew his sword and turned around.
"Chen Yi?" An uncertain sound cut through the thick smoke and dust, and the figure of a man gradually appeared in the firelight.
Chen Yi's eyes widened more and more, and it wasn't until he saw the faces of the people who came clearly that he said, "Lord Shen Xiang!" ”
"What's wrong with you? What about Gu Yuancheng? I looked at the two people in the firelight suspiciously, "Why is there a fire here all of a sudden?" ”
Chen Yi approached me quickly, his face was anxious, and his speech speed was very fast, "My lord, we have been tricked!" When Jingyang and I came to this pre-agreed place, there was a sudden fire here, and the fire was so big that it was intentional. We didn't find the young master, I don't know if he is ......"
After listening to Chen Yi, I frowned and looked at the fire in front of me, and then looked at Jingyang who was retching on the ground, and made up my mind, so I said to Chen Yi, "They will set the fire, which means that they have decided to abandon this place and evacuate all, this place should be safe for the time being, you immediately take Chen Yi to a place with less smoke and dust, try to find some water for him to drink, as for Gu Yuancheng, I will go to find it." ”
Chen Yi believed in me very much, he nodded, said "be careful" to me, and then picked up the pale Jingyang and walked towards the fire.
When I saw them go away, I took out a square handkerchief from my sleeve and tied it to my face, covering my mouth and nose, and then I took off my cumbersome coat and put it on my head, and then I turned and rushed into the high pavilion where the fire was raging.
Before I came, Chen Yi and the others must have looked for Gu Yuancheng's traces around, since they found nothing, then Gu Yuancheng must still be in the attic, or more accurately, somewhere in the attic that is not on fire yet.
And when an attic is on fire, there is only one place that may not be affected.
Through the thick smoke, I tried to let myself breathe in as little as possible, and I didn't stare in one direction. Carefully avoiding the collapsing beam, I quickly looked around for the clues that Gu Yuancheng had left for me, and finally, I found a broken jade fragment under the corner of the wall.
The fragment is very familiar, it is the one that Gu Yuancheng often wears.
Is this it? Authentic entrance.
I knocked on the wall, and then leaned down and knocked on the nearby floor tiles, but I didn't find anything different, and when I was puzzled, the corner of my eye suddenly swept to the top of the jade piece, and a golden flower hanging down from the top of the wall was decorated, and my eyes were certain, and I immediately flew forward and pulled it down.
"Boom!"
An entrance slowly opened in the other corner of the wall directly opposite me, and without much thought, I turned around and jumped in.
"It's disgusting how the air here always smells so bad." I fanned my nose with my hand in disgust, but my eyes looked at the person who was waiting for me in front of me.
"Shen Xiang's temper is so big." Gu Yan glared at me viciously, but the dagger in his hand unceremoniously approached Gu Yuancheng's neck, and a blood mark appeared on Gu Yuancheng's white neck.
I innocently spread my hands" and said, 'I have been in the fish shop for a long time, and I don't smell it.'" You are such a person, and your true appearance is also very helpless, how can you blame your true appearance here? ”
"Huh." Gu Yan sneered, "You are so sharp-toothed, it seems that I have to cut off his tongue before you can talk to me properly." ”2018
I looked at him innocently again, my eyes full of a playful smile, "You have to cut his tongue, even if you cut it, you don't cut it off." ”
"You!" Gu Yan was annoyed, but he quickly calmed down, and said with a wicked smile, "You don't have to come with me for this trick, I know, you care about him very much, otherwise why don't you kill me until now?" ”
I lifted my forehead and laughed, shaking my head while laughing, "You are the envoy sent by the Blood Alliance Lord Pavilion to monitor Shaohong, why is there so much difference between you and her?" Benxiang has already shown that Gu Yuancheng has nothing to do with Benxiang, Benxiang doesn't do it now, naturally because of you, there shouldn't be a third person here, right? ”
"Because of me?"
"yes." I stopped laughing, "Because of you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the folding fan in my hand had already flown out, and hit Gu Remnant's wrist with a knife, only to hear the "click", Gu Remnant had already held his hand and cried out in pain.
I caught the fan that flew back, and approached Gu Remnant with a shrunk step, and then turned around and kicked, and the dagger that was falling down was kicked by me towards Gu Remnant's injured arm, and the dagger went into the bone, directly nailing half of his body to the ground.
"Do you know the biggest difference between you and Peony?" I looked at him condescendingly, squinting and smiling.
Gu Yan convulsed in pain, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, but he was also stiff, biting his lower lip and not saying a word, only staring at me resentfully, as if he was going to eat me.
I looked at him like this and shook my head in disappointment, "Because she's a beauty, and you're not." "Paused, I laughed" Benxiang has always been reluctant to be ruthless with beauties. ”
"Shen Qingzhi!" Receiving such an insult, Gu Yan couldn't stop yelling at me anymore.
I was yelled at by him and took two steps back, patted my chest and said, "I'm scared to death, I'm almost deaf." ”
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Gu was so angry that he didn't care if his arm would be scrapped, and he forcibly pulled out the dagger that had pierced into the ground, and in an instant, the blood was like a column of water, and the white bones were broken.
I looked at this scene with cold eyes, and the corners of my mouth rose slightly, "Are you going to kill yourself?" There are still a lot of questions left unasked."
Gu stared at me with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Qingzhi, I will make you regret it, regret that you humiliated me like this today!" With that, he quickly pressed down on the mechanism beside him with his intact hand.
A hole appeared at his feet, and his body immediately fell into it, and in the blink of an eye, the entrance to the hole closed again.
Ran away?
I was a little unresponsive.
"It's not a good place to stay long, it's time for us to go." Gu Yuancheng, who had been silent, patted his clothes and stood up.
I turned back to look at him with a faint expression, "What did you come up with?" Why didn't he just kill you and run away through the tunnels? ”
Gu Yuancheng glanced at me coldly and walked away.
"Hey, let's reveal something, we're allies." I hurried to catch up with him.
Gu Yuancheng ignored me and walked forward quickly.
"Gu Yuancheng, don't be so stingy." I scolded his ancestors in my heart, but I had a smile on my face.
Gu Yuancheng turned his head to look at me and stopped.
"You really want to know?" He asked me.
My instincts weren't good, but curiosity led me to nod firmly.
"Okay." He approached me, his eyes dimmed, his breathing slowed, and his words were full of evil smiles, "I'll tell you." ”
I instinctively wanted to back off, but in the end I held back.
"I told him that you were pleased with me and would definitely come to save me, so he didn't kill me." After Gu Yuancheng said this, he took a step back and widened the distance between us, "As for what I have done, it is nothing more than a place where the condensation branch is hiding." ”
"You, you're talking nonsense, we're all men, could he be stupid enough to believe that there is such a relationship between us?" I was stunned for a moment, and then my cheeks turned red like a burning sting, and my heart was more ashamed than angry.
Gu Yuancheng shrugged, "Obviously, he believes it." ”
My name, my name!
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I waved my fan and rushed towards Gu Yuancheng.
Gu Yuancheng watched me rush towards him, but he didn't move in place. I noticed something was wrong and immediately stopped.
"I just told him, you have a handle in my hand, you will definitely come to me, kill two birds with one stone, and he will rise to the top in the blood alliance and sit in the seat he wants to sit." Gu Yuancheng saw me stop, and said in a calm voice, "I originally wanted to delay time, so that I could wait for Chen Yi to find me, Shen Qingzhi, I didn't expect you to come." ”
"I didn't expect you to come to my rescue.
