Volume 1: The beginning is to enter the Ning Xiao Gate, the first time to meet the crown prince Fu Yuying Chapter 62: The fire in the night
When I woke up, I was surrounded by a sea of fire.
I frowned, sat up from the ground with some difficulty, and after looking around, I realized that I was locked up in a wooden house by Li Shengqi.
It must have not been long since the fire was lit, and it didn't look too big, but despite this, I didn't find any way out.
I frowned and coughed lightly, then slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the room, to see if there was any place where the flames had not yet burned.
Standing about five feet away from the flames, I clutched my mouth and nose tightly, and walked step by step along the edge of the room, trying to find an exit to escape, but I looked around carefully, but found no way out.
The walls of the hut were poured with oil all around, and the flames were burning little by little with the oil, so there was not a single gap where I could leave unharmed.
My eyes gradually locked on the only window in the room.
I thought maybe I could break the window and leave, but the window was too small for me to jump over accurately, but at this moment, I had no other choice.
Just as I was staring at the window and about to jump out of the window, a beam on the roof suddenly caught fire and fell in front of me impartially, forcing me to take a few steps back, and reducing the range of my activities in the room a lot, I looked up at the window again, and couldn't help but sigh, it seemed too far away from me at the moment.
Now let alone jumping out of the window, the beam in front of me is already a headache for me, and as the fire grows bigger and bigger, the roof of this wooden house is gradually burning, and I am afraid that it will not be long before this house will collapse.
After a moment of composure and reflection, I decided to take a gamble. I quickly took off my coat and covered my lower body with it, gritting my teeth and jumping quickly.
Fortunately, I was able to cross the burning beam in front of me. As soon as I landed smoothly, I threw my coat and shoes that were on fire into the flames, and then I took a general look at the rest of my clothes, but fortunately, nothing but my coat and shoes were on fire.
I looked at the window again, gritted my teeth, and I was about to jump up again when the door was kicked open.
The sound quickly caught my eye, and I immediately turned my head to look.
In the midst of the blazing fire, I saw Fu Yuli walking towards me step by step, and at this moment, a crossbar fell from the roof again, and this time, it smashed straight towards me.
"Be careful!"
Fu Yulan quickly pounced on me, and in the blink of an eye, he pushed me to the ground, and the burning beam smashed into his back impartially.
He snorted and closed his eyes in pain, a look of pain on his face.
He protected me almost with his whole body, and after he had recovered his composure, he quickly pressed his arms to my sides, so that I could completely hide from his protection and not be eroded by the fire.
Looking at his actions, I couldn't help but be a little stunned.
In the firelight, I saw his face seriously for the first time, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly similar to Fu Yuying, and in a trance, I seemed to see Fu Yuying.
"Are you alright?" He frowned, his face was pained, but his brow was full of concern for me.
My mind was pulled back by his words, and looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but have a warm current in my heart. I whispered, "I..."
"Lord Wang!"
Before I could say anything, I was interrupted by a few guards who came in from outside, carrying buckets of water and quickly pouring water on us, and after the fire on the crossbar was extinguished, they quickly ran over and lifted the crosswood away, and then helped Fu Yuli and me up.
As we walked out, I accidentally saw that Fu Yuli's back was blurred by the flames, and the blood was still flowing out.
I couldn't help but be taken aback by this, and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty when I remembered the scene when he had just pounced on me to save me.
When we came out, I saw a group of guards waiting in front of the hut. Li Shengqi was already restrained by them.
Fu Yulan turned to look at me, the tension between his eyebrows became more and more intense, and he opened his mouth to ask me, "Have you been burned?" ”
Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart, but this moving only lasted for a moment, and I once again recalled what Fu Yuying had told me.
For a moment, I couldn't even tell if he was acting sincerely, or if he was just posturing?
I pursed my lips and frowned at him, "I'm fine, but you, the injury is so serious, it's better to go back and heal the wound quickly..."
"The old man really underestimated you!"
Hearing this, my eyes fell on Li Shengqi, who was squinting at me, his expression was full of fierceness, "Your means are really not small, even King Yuwen is willing to help you." As he spoke, he suddenly sneered, and then said slowly: "However, since you have colluded with King Yuwen, then presumably the prince will definitely not let you go easily when he comes back, I want to see how much ability you still have..."
"Kill him." Fu Yuqi suddenly interrupted Li Shengqi's words, his voice was not hurried, calm and powerful, as soon as the words fell, the guards who were originally restraining Li Shengqi had already drawn out the long sword at his waist, and quickly pierced his heart with the momentum of lightning without words.
Li Shengqi's eyes widened, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the guards around him quickly released his arms at the same moment, and he still threw himself to the ground at will.
I withdrew the arms supported by the guards, slowly walked to Li Shengqi and squatted down, looking at his angry eyes, I unhurriedly pulled out the hairpin on my head, sneered, and said to him: "The ancients have always liked to say that what is courtesy is exchanged, don't you want me to live as well as die?" ... Well, I'll give you a taste of what life is better than death. ”
As I spoke, I stabbed the hairpin into his eye, and even though the scene was bloody, there was no fear in my heart.
Li Shengqi shouted in pain, he opened his other eye, looked at me viciously, gritted his teeth and said: "Cheap thing, you will be proud for a while, when Fu Yuying comes back, I want to see you..."
I quickly inserted the hairpin into his temple, not giving him a chance to finish.
After dealing with Li Shengqi, I wiped the blood on the hairpin with my sleeve and inserted it back into my hair that had been scattered.
I turned around and quickly walked to Fu Yuli's side, and was about to see if there were any other injuries on his body, but he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately fainted.
"Lord Wang!"
All the guards panicked, and hurriedly ran over, and the guard who had supported Fu Yulan before quickly picked him up and left here quickly.
Looking at this scene in front of me, I was naturally worried, after all, Fu Yuli was injured in order to save me, if he really had three longs and two shorts, I am afraid I would have to blame myself for the rest of my life.
So I was about to follow them to see Fu Yuxuan, but Yi Xuan's figure suddenly appeared in front of me, and he looked at me with a very cold expression on his face.
"The road to the Prime Minister's Mansion is just that, and it's stupid enough for you to be abducted... You idiot can't give me some snacks! ”
After he said this angrily, he seemed to catch a glimpse of my naked feet, and a trace of distress appeared in his eyes. He turned around, crouched down with his back to me, and said in a cold voice, "Come up." ”
Although he was not very happy to be scolded, I didn't understand that he was worried about me.
I threw myself on his back and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"It's heavy enough, it's time to lose weight."
He carried me, the anger in his words gradually decreased, I pursed my lips, listened to him scold me without blushing and heartbeat, and after walking a short distance, I suddenly laughed.
"I find you pretty cute when you're angry."
Hearing this, Yi Xuan sighed angrily, although he may still have some residual anger in his heart, but he didn't bother to scold me anymore.
I thought maybe it would be a blessing for me to meet Yi Xuan, after all, it's hard to find someone like him who has saved me many times. It's no wonder that Boya broke the piano only to mourn the Zhongzi period, and wanted to meet a confidant and friend in this long life, which can be regarded as the favor of God.
At this time, it was already very late, so Yi Xuan carried me back to the Red Dust Pavilion first.
I sat on the bed, staring intently at the moon outside the window, and my heart became more and more worried.
"Why would Fu Yulan be willing to come to save me?" I opened my mouth to ask Yi Xuan, who was sitting at the table, and after seeing his gaze move to mine, he continued: "Even if it is to buy my heart and let me be a dark chess piece that he put next to Fu Yuying, he shouldn't put his life on the line, but if it is not because of this, then why?" Although he saved me three times and twice, I didn't have anything to do with him before. ”
Although I feel a little familiar with him, this familiarity may be due to the fact that some of his characteristics are similar to those I know, after all, I really have no impression of him.
Therefore, his action of rushing into the sea of fire to save me without hesitation really puzzled me.
Yi Xuan looked at me, was silent for a long time, then turned to look out the window, and said lightly: "I don't know... Regarding this matter, maybe you should ask Fu Yuli in person. ”
I looked at the moon outside the window and couldn't help but ponder.
Li Shengqi's words appeared in my ears repeatedly, although I was not worried that Fu Yuying would deal with me as he said, but his words inevitably made me feel that Fu Yuying was doing all this to make Fu Yuying suspicious of me.
I sighed, finally shook my head, and replied: "Forget it, I won't ask, just treat it as if I owe him another favor, and I will pay him back in the future." ”
