Although Zuo Ying's body was very tired, she never relaxed her vigilance mentally. She snapped her eyes open, the wide tent was still empty, only herself, but the silence outside had been replaced by a messy sound of footsteps and shouts, and when she turned her head to look at the tent wall, she could see a faintly pulsating brightness outside.

"Yu'er!" As soon as Zuo Ying shouted, she remembered that Scarlet Feather was not around at all, because she had not recovered, so Zuo Ying ordered her not to tell her about the sacrifice of the mound, lest she come to serve with her illness and affect her recovery.

But if it was the usual, even if Scarlet Feather was not there, she shouted like this, there should be a palace maid waiting outside who promised to run over and ask before and after, but this time there was no response outside.

The dangerous aura that Zuo Ying smelled became stronger and stronger. She rolled under the bed, her thin body rolling under the bed with ease. She lay down under the bed, pulled out the silver fire hidden in her waist and held it in her hand, and then carefully observed and listened to the movements around her.

After listening closely, I found that the sound of the commotion around me was getting closer and closer, and scattered figures were projected on the walls of the tent, and people seemed to shout words such as "fire fighting" and "escorting". At this time, Zuo Ying was able to confirm that there was a fire outside, but she didn't know if it was because the fire had not spread to her tent, so no one came in to inform her to escape. Of course, she was well aware of the other possibility – it wasn't an accident.

At this moment, Zuo Ying heard the sound of the tent's curtain being torn, and someone rudely broke in through the door. Immediately afterward, she peeked into the fact that the screens blocking the gate and the dormitory were also kicked over, and several guards with torches in one hand and long knives in the other strode to the center of the tent with the screens that had fallen to the ground.

"Your Majesty! There was a fire! ”

The guards who had broken in shouted gruffly as they looked around. After shouting a few times, he began to curse.

"Grandma's! Where did you go?! ”

"Maybe we ran out and burned to death, and we didn't have to do it!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Find out! It's going to burn here! ”

Several people scolded and scolded, kicked chairs, lifted the table, and flipped around. Zuo Ying lay under the bed, holding the silver fire in her hand, holding her breath, just waiting for those people to give them a shot once they got close.

Seeing a pair of big feet wearing military boots appear outside the bed covered with curtains, it seemed that he was about to bend down to lift the curtains, when he suddenly heard a person shouting: "Run! Come on! The big feet ran away in a panic.

At this time, Zuo Ying could also feel that the temperature around her was a few degrees higher than before she fell asleep, and the air inhaled by her nose seemed to be mixed with the smell of burning fabric and wood.

She hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, and was surprised to find that the corner of the tent had been burned through the fire, and most of the cedar pillars supporting that corner had been burned to charcoal red, and the tongue of fire was rapidly licking and spreading around!

Only by escaping the fire can you live!

Zuo Ying took a step forward and quickly ran towards the door of the tent that had been opened. Unexpectedly, she stepped out of the door with one foot, and a metallic light flashed in front of her, and a steel knife had already slashed in front of her!

Fortunately, Zuo Ying reacted quickly, grabbed the doorpost next to her with one hand and flashed it violently to the door, and the steel knife slashed into the sturdy cedar wood a few inches with a "bang", and the entire tent trembled deeply because of this knife.

Before she dodged the knife, Zuo Ying immediately felt that the tent behind her was covered by a black shadow, and the bad premonition that surged up in an instant drove her to rush forward immediately, and another sharp blade almost stuck to her back and stabbed through the wall of the tent and stabbed in!

As soon as Zuo Ying landed on the ground, she hurriedly turned over, but before she could get up from the ground, one of the guards who had just broken into her tent screamed, and the big knife in his hand was already raised above her head and was about to fall at her!

Zuo Ying hurriedly raised the silver fire and pulled the trigger, only to hear a loud "bang", a blood hole appeared in the center of the guard's forehead impartially, and the body that was rushing forward suddenly fell backwards, almost lying on the ground at the same time as the steel knife that fell in his hand.

But Zuo Ying couldn't catch her breath because she put down a murderer, and suddenly there was a loud "thunderbolt" sound from the pillar that had burned just now in the corner of the tent, and the entire huge tent shook and collapsed to that corner. Zuo Ying, who had just gotten up from the ground, looked up and saw that the pillar had broken off because it was almost completely carbonized and could not support the weight of the tent roof. The fire had engulfed most of the tent roof, and the entire tent wall had been burned through, and the tent curtains and beds had begun to catch fire, and the temperature inside the tent was like an oven. The tent with the balance structure had been destroyed and was in danger of collapsing completely at any moment, not to mention the raging fire above, and the bamboo and wood frames that served as beams alone were enough to crush the people below into persimmons.

Zuo Ying had planned to wait for the other two guards to rush in before one of them would give them a shot, but now she had to change her plan and must escape from the crumbling tent as soon as possible. But there was already a fire behind her, and there was no other way out except for the door in front of her, where the murderer was waiting. Just a few dodges and parries, Zuo Ying has been wheezing, her heart is beating violently, her hands and feet are trembling, and she is weak.

In that momentary thought, Zuo Ying suddenly felt a heat wave hit her head, she didn't care to look up, and immediately pounced to the side, almost at the same time, a loud "pop" sounded on the ground around her, and a burning pillar of fire fell, pressing on the place where Zuo Ying was standing just now, Zuo Ying's skirt corners were burned, and she rubbed on the ground a few times before extinguishing it.

Zuo Ying knew that it was time now, and if she stayed for a second longer, she might be buried in a fire. She gritted her teeth and quickly supported her sore body, struggling to get up as she approached the gate.

As soon as he staggered to the door, a burly figure suddenly blocked the front. There is no need to see his face clearly, the big knife in his hand that is about to be cut is already clearly planned. Zuo Ying hurriedly raised the silver fire is shot, and with a gunshot, the murderer's steel knife took off his hand and fell to the side.

Zuo Ying's hands were weak at this time, and her vision was blurred by unkempt hair and sweat, and she didn't know where the shot hit the murderer, she instinctively took a few steps back after the shot, and finally stepped on the object that she didn't know what to fall, and was tripped up, her body lost her balance and fell to the ground, and the silver fire in her hand was thrown out of her hand a few feet.

"Damn!"

Zuo Ying, who was hurt by the fall, gritted her teeth and was about to reach the silver fire on the ground, but saw that another murderer had already pounced, and before Zuo Ying had the strength to react, the blade that fell was already less than a foot in front of her eyes!
