Chapter 270: If you don't run away, you can't do it
As soon as she Xia Qingtong thought of the last bow and crossbow attack, there was a movement from the window.
An arrow shot in, and after the sound of a roar, a sharp arrow landed at Xia Qingtong's feet, startling her.
In a hurry, there was no time to find a system to exchange any tools.
Sakura pulled her over and told her to hide in the cabinet next to the bed. There was a corner there, and even if an arrow came in, it wouldn't hit her.
"You-"
Sakura turned around and started to fight the enemy. But her ease didn't last long.
For the arrows that those men shot again were set on fire.
The windows, furniture, and doors of the house burned almost instantly on such a dry winter day.
The cabinet beside Xia Qingtong was not spared.
The sky-high flames lit up, and Sakura didn't expect that the other party would attack with fire.
For a moment, her face also changed: "Girl, let's go out quickly." β
It's going to be a no-run. Xia Qingtong was about to run outside, when his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Girl?"
Xia Qingtong shook her head, the door was also on fire, she turned around, grabbed the quilt on the bed and draped it on her back.
"With this, there is a fire that can't burn the body."
"I don't need to, girl, let's go."
Red Sakura was too stubborn, holding a sword in one hand to swing those arrows away, and pulling Xia Qingtong outside with one hand.
Xia Qingtong rushed quickly, and suddenly arrived in the corridor outside.
There was also a fire in the hallway. Not only was it on fire, but arrows were constantly coming in from outside.
She subconsciously went to find Ming Yue's figure, and the yard was also lit by fire.
In the smoke of the fire, she saw that Ming Yue was directing people to extinguish the fire, and followed the others to fight the enemy.
Judging by the battle between the two sides, it will be a tough battle.
There are enough people on Ming Yue's side, and he can handle it for the time being.
Xia Qingtong didn't call Ming Yue, she went downstairs under the protection of Hongying and hid behind the stairs.
Sakura had wanted her to go into a room on the edge of the stairs, which hadn't burned yet.
But Xia Qingtong refused, when he was on fire, he only ran outside, and he didn't hear about running inside in the past.
This position is quite good, you can escape when you enter, and you can keep your safety when you retreat.
Xia Qingtong observed the situation in the courtyard, the fire was burning fiercely, but the attack outside had begun to slow down.
Judging by the voice, the person on the other side is probably also seriously injured.
"Sakura, go help put out the fire."
"Girl, Your Highness told me to guard you well."
"I don't have anything to do with this. You go and help put out the fire. β
If the fire is not controlled, the whole yard will be useless.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingtong suddenly stood up and wanted to go upstairs again.
"Girl."
"The two adults are still upstairsβ"
The house was already on fire, and the two adults were injured and unable to move. This fire is a little more fierce-
"Girl, Your Highness has already arranged for someone to go up to protect the two adults, don't worry."
"Didn't you see that it was already burning in here? Don't bring them outβ"
As soon as Xia Qingtong's words fell, he saw a more fierce fire coming out of the room where the two adults were upstairs, and then the beams above fell-
This sudden change made Xia Qingtong stunned on the spot, and at the same time, the attack outside stopped.
Those dead soldiers were all dealt with by Ming Yue and them, and no one shot arrows into it anymore, so there were people who could put out the fire.
Xia Qingtong breathed a long sigh of relief, but his hanging heart did not let go.
Buckets and buckets of water poured over the flames, and the fire grew smaller.
Ming Yue also retreated, and there were blood stains on his body. Xia Qingtong took two steps forward and looked him up and down.
"Are you alright?"
Ming Yue's originally cold face eased a lot when he looked at the concern in Xia Qingtong's eyes.
"The blood is not mine."
Xia Qingtong knew that Ming Yue was fine, and immediately pointed behind him: "Quickly let people put out the fire, Lord Chen and Master Li are still upstairs." β
"Don't worry, they've already gone to put out the fire."
"How can I not be in a hurry?" Xia Qingtong didn't believe that he didn't understand the importance of this matter: "If the two adults die, you are still the most suspicious." What's more, you may never be able to clear your suspicion again. Do you understand? β
At this time, it is useless to think about whether Ming Yue is using the two adults as bait.
The man had already been assassinated, and the wounded were also wounded. Now the other party obviously wants to kill him.
Choosing at this point in time when I am about to enter Beijing is simply fearless.
The other party had no intention of letting Chen and Li return to Beijing at all. All the attacks today are cover-ups, and the purpose is just to kill Chen and Li.
"Your Highness." Chai Jiu came over at this time, with a solemn expression: "The assassin who was locked up is also dead." β
Ming Yue curled the corners of his lips: "Is there still a living mouth?" β
"None of them lived." Chai Jiu's face became more and more bad: "Also, the evidence we put in the room has been burned." Including those ledgers that serve as evidence. β
Everyone looked at Ming Yue, especially Xia Qingtong. The evidence can be said to be forged, and the two adults Chen and Li can be said to have killed them in Mingyue.
All in all, the current situation is too unfavorable for Ming Yue.
As if not sensing their worried gaze, Ming Yue raised an eyebrow.
"It's burning like this, it's no longer inhabitable. It seems that we can only enter Beijing overnight. β
"Your Highness?"
He turned to look at Xia Qingtong.
"I've wronged you."
Xia Qingtong: ......
Is this a matter of wronging her or not?
Xia Qingtong didn't believe that Ming Yue didn't know the severity of this, and looking at the other people who were fighting the fire, she dragged Ming Yue's clothes and dragged him outside the post station.
The smell of blood outside has not yet dissipated. The corpses of the Assassins lay on the outside.
Even if Xia Qingtong didn't come out just now, seeing the situation in front of him, he could imagine the battle situation at that time.
"You are now in Beijing, the day after tomorrow, what are you going to say?"
"What do you say?"
"The two adults are dead, and the account book in your hand is just a little bit of the Yin family's skin. They pushed a man out to take the blame, and there was no harm in the slightest. And you-"
Xia Qingtong didn't believe that what he could think of, Ming Yue would not be able to think of it.
"Do you know? What will you face when you go back? β
Compared with her nervousness, Ming Yue's attitude was much more casual.
Because of helping to extinguish the fire just now, there are still traces of smoke on her face. Ming Yue took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her face extremely carefully.
"Don't wipe it. Are you still in the mood to care about me? Do you think about yourself? β
Xia Qingtong ripped off the handkerchief in his hand: "The two adults were killed, and several books were also burned." How are you going to face the Holy One tomorrow, and how are you going to clear your suspicions?
