Chapter 18: The Plague of Fire

Nangong Lin wandered aimlessly in the General's Mansion, and the huge General's Mansion was just a house that could shelter from the wind and rain without Yang Huai in Nangong Lin's eyes, and it was no longer a home.

The cold wind in the night kept slapping Nangong Lin's tear-soaked face, letting the cold erode her whole body. Nangong Lin recalled the days when she married into Chendangguan, and the grievances in her heart were even more turbulent, although the warmth she got from Yang Huai was often only for a moment, she still cherished it so much, thinking about how many times she heard Yang Huai gently calling A Ning in her sleep, thinking about Yang Huai's gentle as water but never casting her gaze, thinking that because of Liuning, Yang Huai, who was so proud, was willing to surrender again and again.

Nangong Lin's heart rose with countless resentment, why, why, she asked herself again and again in her heart, why she worked so hard, wanted to enter Yang Huai's life, into Yang Huai's heart, but never got it. She didn't dare to expect everything, she just wanted to get a little bit of love and warmth from Yang Huai, but she could only watch her husband pay for others wholeheartedly.

Nangong Lin felt that all her anger came to her heart, she was just a woman, and jealousy was the most likely emotion, Nangong Lin wiped the tears off her face and walked to Jingli's room.

At noon on the second day, ** had already been under the Chendang Pass, Tang Changyu and Zhao Nan led the army to call for battle under the Chendang Pass, and Liubin and Yang Huai went to the school to order troops, everything seemed to be going according to their plan.

Jingli listened to Nangong Lin's words last night, and he already had a plan in his heart, he knew that this morning should be locked up under Yang Huai's governance, all of them are united and united, since Yang Huai has decided to take refuge in the heart, then his people will inevitably follow him to the death, and the people who are here only have a few cronies who escaped death from Qingjing City, if they fight hard, they must have no chance of winning, and they will be in the time when Liubin and Yang Huai are out of the city at the school.

Jingli has poured the entire general's mansion and grain and grass warehouse with oil, Jingli knows that as soon as Liubin and ** catch up, Yang Huai will immediately fight back against him, Jingli lit a fire, Yang Huai saw that the backyard was on fire and must go back immediately, buying time for himself to escape, and what he Jingli couldn't get, others couldn't get it.

After sending Liubin out of the city, Jingli hurriedly went to the General's Mansion, but on the way he heard his subordinates report that the General's Mansion was on fire, Yang Huai was shocked, and he couldn't calm down anymore, so he hurriedly ordered the people in the Mansion to put out the fire with all their might, and hurriedly rushed to the General's Mansion desperately.

Walking into the general's mansion, Yang Huai saw that the raging fire was swaying more violently in the already presumptuous sun, Yang Huai looked around at the people who were taking refuge outside the mansion and the people who were busy putting out the fire, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and sure enough, he didn't see Liuning's figure, so he ignored the obstruction of the people around him and rushed into the sea of fire.

Yang Huai dodged the falling wooden beams that were burned all the way, and finally came to the outside of Liuning's room, and happened to meet Nangong Lin who was rushing all the way. Yang Huai heard the sound of Liuning constantly kicking the door in the room, but there was a big lock locked outside, the person with the key had already fled and disappeared, and the windows were nailed shut because they had to be strictly guarded, Liuning tried many ways but couldn't escape, what made Yang Huai most worried was that there was still Liuning's intermittent coughing sound from inside, it seemed that Liuning had inhaled a lot of smoke and couldn't hold on for long.

Yang Huai slapped the door vigorously and shouted to Liuning inside: "Liuning, don't be afraid, you step back first, and I will help you open the door immediately." After speaking, Yang Huai pulled out his long knife and slashed it on the hard big lock, and couldn't help but regret in his heart, why did he do this scene so seriously in the first place, locking Liu Ning with such a lock, but now it has become the biggest threat to her life.

Nangong Lin watched the fire continue to spread, the smoke in this room became thicker and thicker, and the fire became more and more intense, grabbed Yang Huai's arm and said to Yang Huai eagerly: "Husband, this fire is getting bigger and bigger, you go quickly, leave this to me, I promise to take Liuning out safely." As he spoke, he was about to step forward to grab Yang Huai's knife, but Yang Huai threw him to the ground with a force, only to hear Yang Huai say in an ordered tone: "You go." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard the crisp sound of the lock falling to the ground, Yang Huai didn't care about anything else, kicked the door and rushed inside, but he didn't see a burning wooden beam falling down, and smashed towards Yang Huai impartially, but now Yang Huai was full of satisfaction and worried about Liuning, and he didn't pay attention at all, only heard Liuning shout: "Brother Yang Huai, be careful!" ”

But it was too late, Nangong Lin didn't care about the pain of falling on the ground, ran towards Yang Huai quickly, and pushed Yang Huai hard, so that the falling fire wood smashed on him alive, and then fell heavily on the ground.

But it was a disaster, and Liu Ning was a little stunned by the scene in front of him, and wanted to step forward to help Nangong Lin. The time was so short that people didn't have time to react, but a fire wood fell down again, Yang Huai quickly stepped forward to hug Liuning, and tightly protected her to avoid the wood, although she dodged quickly, the fire wood still grazed Yang Huai's back, making Yang Huai a little unstable in pain, and stood in time for a stumble.

Finally, there was no fire wood falling again, Liuning and Yang Huai hurriedly ran to Nangong Lin's side and helped her up, Nangong Lin lay in Yang Huai's arms, coughed twice, blood flowed from her mouth, Liuning and Yang Huai wanted to help her escape from the fire together, but saw Nangong Lin waved her hand to signal no, Nangong Lin worked hard to squeeze out a smile, and said to Yang Huai in a weak voice: "Husband, I'm sorry, leave me alone, I can't leave, you take Liuning away." ”

Hearing this, Yang Huai looked at Liuning with complicated eyes, and heard Nangong Lin say, "Husband, don't hesitate. Yang Huai gently put Nangong Lin on the ground, and before Liu Ning objected, he grabbed Liu Ning's hand and ran out, Nangong Lin looked at the burning red in his eyes and the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, and the world in front of him blurred under the mist of tears.

Yang Huai led Liuning all the way to the door and let go of Liuning's hand, Yang Huai looked at Liuning, even in the face of such a situation, his voice still sounded so cold and calm, but it revealed the meaning of parting, he said to Liuning: "I'm sorry, I don't know how this fire started, this is not in my plan, Tang Changyu will come to pick you up soon, if you have any questions, just ask your brother, I'm leaving." Before Liu Ning could say anything, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and there was darkness in front of him.

Yang Huai handed over Liuning, who he had knocked unconscious, to his most trusted subordinates, and ordered his subordinates to take good care of Liuning, and handed her over to Marshal Tang intact, and walked into the sea of fire without looking back.

Nangong Lin was lying on the cold ground, feeling the heat of the raging fire, but her heart was still cold and cold, she recalled every day after she came to Chendangguan, and found that there were many pleasant memories between herself and Yang Huai, even if Yang Huai in this memory regarded her as a close friend, and she regarded Yang Huai as her favorite lover, but she may have taken too much care, and she was happy at that time, isn't it enough.

Nangong Lin's consciousness was a little blurred, what she thought of before she died was really the person she loved the most, the book didn't lie, she mocked herself in her heart, Nangong Lin slowly closed her eyes, desperately waiting for death to come. In the blur, Nangong Lin heard a burst of heavy footsteps, and then she fell into a warm embrace, Nangong Lin felt surprised, thinking that she had ascended to heaven, and tried to open her eyes.

Nangong Lin was still in front of her the raging fire and endless ashes, and what was close at hand was the face that made her think about it for a long time but now she didn't want to see anything. Nangong Lin used all her strength to touch Yang Huai's face and asked with a smile, "Why are you back?" Yang Huai held Nangong Lin's hand and did not speak.

Seeing that Yang Huai didn't answer, Nangong Lin's heart sank, and then she said intermittently to herself in her weak voice: "Husband, I'm sorry, I was blinded by jealousy and told Jingli about your plan, but I didn't expect his Jingli's heart to be so poisonous that he would want to ruin everything, I tried hard to make up for my mistakes, so I really wanted to save Liuning." You're going to believe me, right? ”

Yang Huai nodded vigorously, Nangong Lin suddenly felt relaxed, at least at this moment of life and death, no matter how Yang Huai lied to himself from time to time, Yang Huai finally believed in himself, and continued: "Husband, I really, love you so much." Since I met you, everything I have done is for you, even though I have long felt that everything you do is for others, but I don't blame you, only myself, I didn't meet you earlier, I didn't stay by your side when you were in the most difficult time, so I am not qualified to share your life with you, however, I am still very happy to meet you, today, I am the happiest. ”

Yang Huai's eyes were a little red, and he asked in a choked voice, "Silly Arlene, what are you happy about?" ”

This is the first time Nangong Lin has seen Yang Huai with such mood swings, although it is also the last time, but this time, Yang Huai's emotions are finally fluctuating because of herself, in Nangong Lin's short life, she rarely sees Yang Huai's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and today finally once, she let her beloved man shed tears for herself, even if it was not because of love.

Nangong Lin smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Because, I'm happy, it's not you who died today, nor Liuning, but me, so that I can stay in your heart forever." After saying this, Nangong Lin's hand fell from Yang Huai's face and closed his eyes forever. Yang Huai's tears finally fell, falling on the corners of Nangong Lin's slightly raised mouth.

The fire was raging, and everything was annihilated.
