"Ghost Fire!"

"Earthfire Breaks!"

I don't know who shouted, but the people in the courtyard found that not only were the clothes on the people burning, but even the bare ground began to float into flames, as if it was a ghost fire from the ground.

The panicked soldiers and guards were in confusion at once, and they all rushed to the front yard to get out of this strange and evil place, only to find that the front yard had already become a sea of fire, and people were rushing to the street.

Zhou Nan hurriedly picked up Yu Liyan and Yinping and ran downstairs. Yinping panicked and said, "I can't go!" The yard was full of fire. Yu Liyan's hand held by Zhou Nan also dragged Zhou Nan tightly, not daring to take a step forward.

Zhou Nan grabbed the hands of the two of them tightly, and said as he ran: "It's okay, it's okay to rush over." ”

After the three of them came down the stairs, they saw that the ground in the courtyard was full of blue-purple flames, like ghost fires from hell.

Even Yu Liyan was stunned, and at this time, a man rushed out of the restaurant and rushed into the courtyard, the blue-purple flames were around him, but it seemed that he couldn't burn him, this man shouted to Zhou Nan here: "Come on!" The car has arrived! ”

When Zhou Nan heard this, he used his strength in his hands, and he pulled Yu Liyan and Yinping out and rushed into the sea of fire in the courtyard.

The strange thing is that when I enter this sea of fire, I don't feel burning, except for the heat when I breathe, I don't feel pain. The two didn't have time to think about it, their hands tightened, and they involuntarily ran towards the street with Zhou Nan.

The street outside the restaurant was already full of people with flames on their bodies and hair, and the blades didn't know where they were thrown, and no one cared about the fight just now, everyone was afraid to avoid others, and they all wanted to let others put out their fires.

The people in the more miserable front yard, although they also encountered the ghost fire, also added "material" to Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan threw the two jars of anointing oil into the yard, the anointing oil taken out of the kitchen was originally made of fat oil, making torches and lighting lamps are the best materials, after the jars fell to the ground and broke, the anointing oil flowed all over the ground, and the ground was paved with bluestone bricks, and the people who ran and fell down were all speckled with grease on their feet and bodies. When the blue-purple flames also rose in the front yard, the grease splashed on the clothes added fuel to the fire, burning more vigorously, longer, and more difficult to extinguish.

Those few soldiers and guards who were lucky enough not to be burned just ran away, watching all this blankly, let alone arresting the thief, and they didn't even dare to step forward to help their comrades put out the fire, and there was a sour, faint smell of sake lees in the air.

Yu Liyan and the silver bottle followed Zhou Nan's back door, Zhou Nan dragged one from the back door to the street with one hand, and the man who led the way in front was the man who rushed out of the restaurant, this man was holding a crossbow that had been loaded with an iron arrow, and it was Gao Shouxiao who was all the way with Zhou Nan. Yu Liyan and Yinhua had already changed their outfits according to what Zhou Nan said, and at this time they ran out of the courtyard, the fire was smoking, and the girl's family was born with a habit of being clean and afraid of dirt, so that the master and servant lowered their heads, covered their mouths and noses with their empty hands, and ran with Zhou Nan. Although there was fire everywhere, who had the heart to take a closer look, and they were all wearing brown clothes and pants, at first glance, they were similar to these soldiers and guards, and when they saw these four people coming out, they felt a little pitiful: looking at this body, they had to be squeezed last before running out.

Zhou Nan lowered his head and glanced secretly, there were fire people everywhere on Danzhou Street outside the restaurant, a pile in the east, a group in the west, and those running back and forth, only the people who didn't provoke the fire watched from a distance, but they didn't dare to step forward. When others encounter this kind of situation, they are all running wherever people burn, Gao Shouxiao led the three of Zhou Nan, but where there are many people, they will squeeze wherever they are, and where there is chaos, it is like running anywhere.

Those who were originally chaotic, they couldn't take care of themselves, they screamed in panic, some were lying on the ground rolling, messing around, where would they pay attention to the four people who squeezed over again.

Gao Shouxiao and Zhou Nan led the way, and soon came to the edge of the crowd, Gao Shouxiao saw a covered carriage parked not far to the east, and slowly ran here. The one who drove the covered carriage was none other than Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan had already parked the carriage in a small street not far to the east of the restaurant, but he made an appointment with Zhou Nan to wait for Zhou Nan to bring people out, pick them up and leave. Later, Gao Yuanjian saw that the soldiers patrolling the city and a group of guards entered the restaurant again and again, and there was a scuffle, he was even more anxious, but he didn't know the situation inside, and he was alone, and it was useless to go, so he was just in a hurry outside. Later, when I saw a fire in the courtyard of the restaurant, I guessed that Zhou Nan was the ghost inside, so I sat in the carriage and stared at the restaurant. First, a group of people who were on fire swarmed out, and then they saw Gao Shouxiao and Zhou Nan running out of it. That's when I drove over.

At this time, some soldiers standing on the periphery immediately came to their senses and shouted: "Someone has fled!" Stop it! ”

Gao Shouxiao raised his hand and pointed, and a crossbow arrow pierced through his chest, shooting the screaming soldier to the ground.

This sudden attack was only seen by a few people on the side. As soon as Zhou Nan saw the carriage coming, he pulled Yu Liyan and the silver bottle to greet them.

Suddenly there was a shout from behind him: "Don't run away from that thief!" "Stop them! ”。

Zhou Nan looked back, and saw that from the west of Danzhou Street, a team of guards ran out of the north gate of the imperial city, and ran quickly here, taking the palace gate and the restaurant only a few dozen zhang away, and soon ran over, but the situation here was too chaotic, although he held a bow and arrow in his hand, he did not dare to launch it, for fear of hurting his own people. had to bypass the burning men one by one and rush towards Zhou Nan and the others.

The guards from the princess's mansion ran in and fought with the soldiers patrolling the city, it seemed to be a long time, but it didn't even take a quarter of an hour, those palace guards found that there were people in the restaurant from the guards on the palace wall, and reported it layer by layer, and waited until someone was sent out to arrest them, just Zhou Nan and others ran out of the restaurant. It's just that there is chaos on the street outside the restaurant, the palace guards are in the west, Zhou Nan and others are in the east, and the palace guards are running to the restaurant.

There were already palace guards who had come around to shoot arrows at the carriage, and sporadic arrows had entered the wooden walls of the carriage's roof. Suddenly, a man rushed over from the oblique stab and pounced on Yu Liyan, Zhou Nan was about to intercept it with a knife, the man stumbled and almost fell, an arrow was impartial, and hit the man in the back. When you look closely, it's Hu Dugu. It turned out that Hu Dugu saw the palace guards shooting arrows in the direction of the princess, and he desperately blocked it, and happened to block an arrow.

Hu Dugu used a knife to crutch the ground, endured the pain, and shouted: "Princess, go quickly!" ”
