At this time, although Qinghuai Villa has not yet caught fire, the mountain wind and thick smoke have smoked the entire villa to the heat. Ye Zhiqiu stood in the atrium of the villa, only staring at the blazing Zhangren Palace in the distance.

Thinking about it only half a month ago, everything was still being planned, and it seemed that all the people were chess pieces in their hands, allowing themselves to play with it secretly. What was the wrong step?

Should Cao Xiwen be let go? Or shouldn't Pei Ran be kept? Or shouldn't ......

Ye Zhiqiu heard that the soldiers around him were fleeing in a hurry, and he could only let it go, because Zheng Lun had long since disappeared. Zheng Lun is not stupid, maybe at the moment when Zhangren Palace caught fire, he had already seen the situation of the trees falling and scattering.

He's about ...... now. You've escaped from the city, right?

Ye Zhiqiu was out of his trance, and he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Lord Ye, Lord Ye!"

Ye Zhiqiu looked through the thick smoke and felt that the person who came seemed to be a little familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Lord Ye! I've found you. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised: "Lord Xun? ”

Xun Gui, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the old student who accompanied the prince Li Chongyan to envoy Bihai.

"Lord Ye, I've heard about it, saying that there are rebels in the city and have burned down the palace. A lot of people are fleeing out of the city. ”

"Oh?" Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly, "Then why didn't Lord Xun run away?" ”

"I ...... Belch...... I'm worried about the safety of adults, so I desperately came over to see the adults......" Xun Gui's eyes turned very restlessly, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say.

"Lord Xun might as well say it if you have something to say."

Xun Gui saw that the smoke was getting more and more choking, and he couldn't care about being polite anymore, and pleaded: "I know that Lord Ye is friendly with Lord Zheng of the Dragon Scale Army, can you bring me and those people in the family with you when Lord Ye escapes from the city...... This army is in chaos, if it is just my old bones, I am afraid that I will be killed by the rebels before I even get out of the Chenglu Gate. Master Ye, have pity on my old subordinate, I've been with you for so many years......"

"There is nothing you can do about it." Ye Zhiqiu interrupted Xun Gui's pleading.

"Why?" Xun Gui's face turned from surprise to disappointment, and he also hid a little anger.

"Lord Xun should run for his life as soon as possible, because I, Ye, have never thought of going out of the city."

"You ......" Xun Gui looked surprised, and he didn't know whether to believe Ye Zhiqiu's words.

Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the Zhangren Palace in the distance and said: "It is estimated that in one more hour at most, this fire will burn to Qinghuai Villa, if Lord Xun is still delayed here, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave." ”

It seems that this fire has nothing to do with him.

Xun Gui saw that Ye Zhiqiu was smiling calmly and elegantly, but in the firelight around him, he looked more and more weird, and couldn't help but take two steps back, turned around and fled towards the door. Shouting in the mouth:

"Crazy, I think it's all crazy! A bunch of maniacs! ”

Ye Zhiqiu laughed out loud when he was said.

The front of the Hanyuan Hall was fragmented, half a world of madness and half a world of drunkenness.

If I hadn't gone mad, I'd be dead.

He couldn't breathe with laughter, choked on a few more puffs of smoke, and couldn't help but bend down and cough.

Suddenly, he felt that someone had put on a dress on his back, and when he turned his head, it was Mrs. Ye.

"It's late at night, put on one."

Ye Zhiqiu turned his face away, and said with a cold and arrogant look: "Are you here to laugh at me?" ”

"Laughing at you? What can I get again?

Is it? ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Because I have nowhere to go but by your side."

Ye Zhiqiu turned his head to look at his wife.

Pale and effeminate face, helpless but serene expression.

He took his wife into his arms and wept bitterly.

"Madame...... I couldn't protect you after all. ”

"Zhiqiu, you have protected me for most of my life, and I may not be able to escape death today, but I still want to thank you. I am a woman who knows nothing, but I have enjoyed fifty-six years of peace, and now I think about it, although I may not approve of the things you have done, but you are sad and worried, and I have never shared any ...... for you."

"Madame......"

"I've been waiting for you to come and see me these days, waiting for you to change your mind. Later, when I saw the fire in the palace in the distance, I suddenly understood something. The world is like a floating cloud, and it turns into smoke in an eye. If I am devoted to you, why should I wait for you to come? Therefore you will not come to see me, but I will come to see you. Speaking of which, thanks to this fire. It burned everything you had, except me. Maybe only now will you really be willing to be by my side, without distractions. It's good......"

Mrs. Ye's tone was as soft as a clear pool, without the slightest hypocrisy.

Ye Zhiqiu laughed miserably: "I have countless calculations in this life, and it is not a pity to die." But madam, you don't deserve to die......"

"There is no one in this world who is not sorry to die. If you die, someone will applaud and applaud, and someone will die in pain. So, what's the damn not to be damned? ”

The two of them were snuggling up in the courtroom, staring at each other, unaware that there were three more men in black beside them.

"Lord Ye, Mrs. Ye."

Eagletail appeared silently with two Ryuksha warriors.

She didn't care about the surprised gaze of the Ye couple at all, and said with a slight bow: "On the order of Master Su, I came to save the two of them from the city." ”

Ye Zhiqiu heard this, and asked in a trembling voice, "What you said about Master Su...... Is it Xiaochen? ”

"Exactly."

Ye Zhiqiu was surprised and delighted, thinking that this kid had become the lord of Imuran, and at this time, he suddenly sent someone to rescue, it must have been Wen Lan who helped, and hurriedly asked, "Are you from Imuran?" ”

Eagletail frowned in disgust and said, "No. ”

Mrs. Ye was also agitated: "This kid ...... This kid was still thinking about us. ”

Eagletail said, "The fire will soon burn, and my two warriors here will carry you out of the city." ”

Ye Zhiqiu was faintly a little strange, and asked, "Where is Xiaochen at this time?" ”

"Right at the gates."

"What?" Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled, was at the gate of the city at this time?

"Didn't Xiaochen know that there were enemy ambushes in the city and couldn't attack them?"

Eagle Tail sneered: "There are no ambushes in the city, that is the plan set up by Master Su to ambush the city." ”

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a while, "The plan of the city ......"

"Yes, Master Su brought people and horses to pacify the imperial capital, and there are no enemy ambushes, they are just a plan set up by him. Master Su said, the emblems on the robes and flags of the eighteen countries were all taught to him when he was a child. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned when he heard it, as if in a dream, and muttered, "I don't believe it...... I don't believe it! Wen Lan and I have an agreement that we should work together inside and outside. I have a pact with the Great Witch God! He is the lord of Imulan, why should he calculate against me! ”

"You don't believe me?" Eagletail reached out and touched his sleeve, and his slender fingers pulled out a ball of thunder and fire, and threw it into the distance, only to hear a loud thunderous sound that buzzed in people's ears.

"On that day, Chen Qi was deceived by me, and Zheng Lun was blown up by me, both on the orders of Master Su. What else do you not believe? ”

"Then why does he want you to save me?"

The eagle-tailed willow frowned, and he was angry: "Do you think I am willing to come to save you?" I was only solemnly instructed by Master Su to rescue Mrs. Ye to come over. As for you? Hum...... Hanjiang threw Master Su to the Imurans, secretly murdered the crown princess and killed her in Hancun, and took Cao Feihu's head as a scapegoat for you. A wicked person like you is not enough to be burned to death by fire a hundred times! If it weren't for Master Su's face, I would have blown you up with thunder fire beads! ”

Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him would know so clearly, presumably Su Xiaochen already knew this. Could it be that because of these things, Xiaochen holds a grudge?

No...... That's impossible. Although this kid inherited Mu Yunyou's art of war, he was very soft-hearted and never willing to use some tricks. He designed to deal with me like this, it must have been Wen Lan's instructions!

Don't...... Could it be that Wen Lan wants to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?!

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that Wen Lan didn't take himself seriously at all, and everything he had worked hard to calculate in the imperial capital was just icing on the cake for the Imulan people, and it was dispensable. Just like now, Emperor Wen was restrained by the Hanjiang River, but he secretly sent surprise soldiers to attack the imperial capital.

Wen Lan doesn't need me to cooperate with him to attack on both sides at all, he can do it himself, he and Su Xiaochen are a perfect match......

Su Xiaochen, you have really grown up and become the lord of a country.

Mrs. Ye was listening to Eagle Tail say accurately, everything was done by her husband, and she couldn't help crying and begging: "Girl, Xiaochen is a soft-hearted child, even if my husband does too many wrongs, Xiaochen will still save him after all, right?" Although I don't know what the relationship between the girl and the people I just mentioned, I hope that the girl will suppress the hatred in her heart for the time being, so that the two of me can see Xiaochen again......"

Eagle Tail hurriedly helped Mrs. Ye up and said, "Madame don't have to worry, Madame's safety has been explained by Master Su, and we will definitely save Madame out." And Mrs. doesn't know yet, Miss Ye is also by Mr. Su's side, and Mrs. can reunite with them as long as she goes out of the city. As for your husband......"

She looked at Ye Zhiqiu coldly and said, "Ye Shangshu, I'll only ask once." You go, or you don't go. ”

Mrs. Ye burst into tears, she knew her husband's temperament, and it would be okay if Eagle Tail didn't ask, Eagle Tail asked like this, with her husband's arrogant temperament, she would definitely not give in.

Sure enough, Ye Zhiqiu didn't even pay attention to the eagle tail, and only smiled faintly at Mrs. Ye: "Madam, Xiaochen has always treated you like a mother, and he will take good care of you." You and I are separated from each other, and the afterlife ...... Still don't say goodbye. With that, he turned away, choked and trembled, but refused to look back at his wife.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was emotional, and seeing that the smoke was getting stronger and stronger, Vultail said in a low voice, "Mrs. Ye, I am offended." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his mouth and nose for a while. Mrs. Ye was fascinated.

Ye Zhiqiu stood like dead wood for a long time, and when he turned around to look again, the fire had spread to the courtyard, and there was no one around.

This is exactly what it is:

A leaf knows autumn, knows the east and knows the west, but does not know the north.

A leaf is a barrier to the eye, and it is difficult to hinder oneself.
