"Report!"

Yijiang and Chen Ping followed Lin Yao out of the inner palace all the way, and when they were about to turn over and get on their horses, a personal soldier who had been waiting outside the gate of the inner palace for a long time greeted them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Report to the general, last night there was a fire in the Luoyang Outer Suburbs, and the princess Xia Qi and her maid in the Western Regions are missing!"

Also replace "......"

He finally remembered what he had forgotten!

*

In the pavilion on the outskirts of Luoyang, an unknown fire broke out at midnight, and it didn't take long to burn through the inside and outside of the post house.

Xia Qi was woken up by a burst of heat, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she only felt that the temperature around her was very high, and she couldn't breathe.

"What happened?"

Could it be that the weather in Luoyang in late autumn is still so hot?

She lifted the curtain and saw Qi Chi hurrying from the ear room.

Qi Chi didn't care to answer, and hurriedly opened the door to take a look, but then the door was immediately closed by the thick smoke. "Princess, it's out of the water."

Qi Chi's face was ugly. She looked around, trying to see if there was a way to escape.

"Walk the water, walk what water?" The Western Regions did not shy away from the word 'fire', so Xia Qi, as a princess, did not know that walking the water was a fire. However, she was in a trance for a moment, and when she saw Qi Chi's face, she understood her situation. "On fire?"

Qi Chi nodded. Without waiting for anyone to be reminded, she opened the window neatly.

It's a pity that the place where the two of them are located is the third floor of the post house, and if they jump, there is still a high chance that the princess will be injured.

To jump, or not to jump?

The fire climbed up the stairs without giving Qi any time to think about it.

She gritted her teeth, wet the quilt with the only basin of water left in the room, draped it over the princess, and tore off the curtains and sheets to knot them together to form a long rope.

She was just about to let the rope out, but at this moment, a figure suddenly took advantage of the smoke to climb off the roof of the house and jump into the house through the open window.

"What people!" Qi Chijiao snorted, with a vigilant expression on her face.

"Follow me." Jun Mu untied the wet cloth wrapped around his body and handed it to the two of them. He didn't have time to explain, so he apologized and dragged the two girls down and crawled forward.

He leaned over and knocked on the floor in the doorway.

Under the scorching flames, the original wooden post house became very fragile, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the chair in the princess's room and slammed it into the floor that was slightly inward in the doorway.

Because of the architectural design, there are no girders in this position, just a thin layer of wooden planks, which become fragile under the scorching flames. It didn't take much effort for Jun Mu to smash open a hole.

He directly threw down the wet quilt on the princess's body, and jumped down without hesitation with the two girls when the fire was a little smaller.

'Hmm. Jun Mu got to the ground first, and he turned around to pick up Xia Qi, but when Xia Qi fell into his arms, he let out a muffled voice and took a step back.

Doesn't it mean that Princess Xia Qi is a peerless and rare beauty in the Western Regions? Why is it so heavy.

After putting Xia Qi down, he turned around to pick up Qi Chi, but his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Xia Qi's delicate figure and suddenly realized. Weight is sometimes not a criterion for judging beauty.

Don't look at indecent things, don't say anything indecent ......

"Look at what, look!" Qi Chi glared at Jun Mu.

Jun Mu, who was caught, touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Princess, please remove the veil and cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth." He smiled, his calm smile diluting the horror of the two women.

After he landed on the second floor, he looked around, and the smoke and fire were actually much smaller than those on the third floor.

The ignition point of the post house seems to have been caused from the outside in, from the top down. If it is said by Yi Jiang, it seems that someone deliberately filled the outside of the post house with flammable objects, and then poured fire oil on the fire, but the second and first floors are much better than the third floor, but they are filled with smoke.

He waited for the two women to cover their mouths and noses, and then led them down the stairs.

Qi Chi saw the gate and just raised his foot to walk over, but Jun Mu gently dodged to stop her and shook his head.

"The fire is burning from the outside in, and someone is deliberately targeting you." He said in a low voice. "Don't say that the fire outside is far more fierce than inside the post house at this time, even if you go out, I'm afraid there will be an ambush, which is not the best policy."

"But stay in the inn and just wait for death, right?" Qi Chi bit his lip.

Jun Mu patted them on the shoulders when he put the quilt back on Xia Qi, and the calmness on his face made the hearts of the two girls fall to the ground.

Jun Mu rubbed in the fire, and he couldn't open his eyes from the thick smoke.

At the bottom of the stairs mentioned earlier, he felt the handle of the cellar door.

Jun Mu tore off the sleeve of his shirt to protect his palm, and with a sharp force, he opened the hot cellar door with a 'bang', and a trace of cool air poured out with his movements.

"Come in." Jun Mu lowered his voice and beckoned to Xia Qi and Qi Chi.

Qi Chi and Xia Qi glanced at each other, frowned and said, "There is water on it, and we are in the cellar." When the fire burns here, won't you just wait to be burned to death? ”

Moreover, the man in front of him seemed to have been prepared for walking on the water, and he appeared in the princess's boudoir in the middle of the night, and every step was well organized.

Qi Chi assessed in his heart, although Jun Mu's calm and calm demeanor made them involuntarily feel an inexplicable sense of trust in him, and acted with his instructions. But if this man has bad intentions and deliberately lures them down the cellar, then being trapped in the cellar with this man is tantamount to sending himself into the mouth of a tiger.

Xia Qi is the favorite princess of the King of the Western Regions, and no one knows better than Qi Chi, who grew up with her since childhood, what mood she was in when she came to the Chu Kingdom. If at this time......

"I was told in a casual conversation that the cellars here were specially treated and dug very deep, and the loess was buried on top of them to keep out the heat, and it was the safest place to take refuge." Jun Mu took the lead directly.

If he hadn't lied to him.

"Will also?" Qi Chi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Under the command of General Lin Yao, one of the main guards in charge of the princess this time." Jun Mu explained lightly.

His gaze stayed imperceptibly on Qi Chi and Xia Qi's faces for a moment.

Will these two women know each other? He read the message from their faces.

Xia Qi watched Jun Mu go down, hesitated, and followed Jun Mu into the cellar.

After Qi Chi also entered the cellar, Jun Mu sealed the door of the cellar. A few people walked down, and sure enough, they saw a dark room that had been arranged a long time ago, and food and water had already been prepared inside.

"Xia Qi thanked Gongzi for saving his life." Xia Qi bowed slowly. "Childe seems to have been prepared for a long time, and he also knows how to avoid fire."

In all fairness, Jun Mu's appearance is very outstanding, and there is a hint of charm in his eyebrows. But he gestured and saw that the innate cold temperament hid the delicacy of his facial features, leaving only the reassuring power, and he couldn't help but unload his defense.

But Xia Qi still locked his eyes, vigilant of his every move.

"My friend will also know that there will be a rebel today, and I will take care of the princess. If someone starts a fire, be sure to protect the princess. Jun Mu dusted off his sleeves, took off his coat and spread it on the ground, motioned for the two women to sit down, and he walked to the other side of the dark room to sit on the floor. The conditions are simple, and the princess Haihan is invited. ”

Qi Chi opened his mouth, "Second brother, he ......"

Xia Qi pinched her hand. Qi Chi muttered and closed his mouth.

Jun Mu smiled slightly. Since Qi Chi and Xia Qi were both wary of him, he simply didn't speak.

The silence did not last long in the trio. Before the hunger pang of lunch could come, the door to the cellar was suddenly opened.

A young man in light armor walked in.

Jun Mu narrowed his eyes as the sunlight shone in, "I thought you forgot about me." ”

It will be slightly embarrassed to be said, "There are priorities." ”

"Luckily you didn't release my pigeons for another month." Jun Mu chuckled.

As soon as he stood up, Qi Chi quickly pounced on Yijiang from the side of the cellar. "Second brother!"
