The two of them listened to the heart sinking at the same time, and they didn't even have time to say and hurriedly ran up, and before they reached the hatch, they smelled the pungent smell of smoke, and they choked on their mouths and noses. Just as he was about to go up, he happened to meet Qingbai and a small soldier who were jumping down the ladder.

The black ash on Qingbai's face and body was glued to him somewhere, and he saw the two of them wiping their sleeves indiscriminately on their faces: "Childe, the sulfur in the stern of the ship suddenly caught fire from nowhere, and the fire was extremely strong, and it was burned to the outer cabin in the blink of an eye by the wind!" Now our people are putting out the fire with water on it, why don't you go up and take a look? ”

Princess Ruixiang, who heard the movement, was also helped out of the room by Tao Ran, I don't know if it was seasickness or frightened pale: "What's the matter, it's out of the water?" Like an abandoned kitten, she pitifully clutched her white arm: "We won't die on this ship!" ”

Qingbai frowned, and withdrew his arm without a trace: "Princess, don't think about it, no!" It's too dangerous up there, stay here and don't wander around, if something happens, Childe and I will protect you! ”

Rong Xiu's jaw tightened, his eyes were turbulent, and he reached out to grab Yan Xiaoyi's wrist: "How can the boat go through the water in a good way, someone must have deliberately set it on fire!" Do you remember what the little guy who gave you sulfur before? ”

Yan Xiaowei was pinched by him, and carefully searched for information about that person in his mind: "I don't have much impression, I just remember that he is not tall, a little thin, and there seems to be a crescent scar on the tiger's mouth!" ”

Rong Xiu gritted his teeth and instructed the little soldier: "While extinguishing the fire, be sure to find out this person for me!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”

After speaking, he walked up the wooden ladder with the hem of his clothes, and Qingbai was just about to follow, when he was suddenly surrounded by Princess Ruixiang from behind. She grabbed his placket tightly with both hands, and rubbed his back twice with a small face that was uneasy.

Qingbai subconsciously glanced at Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi, her eyebrows tightened, and she swallowed: "Princess, what are you doing here!" Men and women don't kiss, let it go! ”

Princess Ruixiang didn't let go, she couldn't listen to anything now, she just wanted to hug the person in front of her tightly: "I won't let go!" When I was a child, no matter where the royal brother and the other brothers went, you always accompanied me! Every time I get reprimanded or fall, you're by my side! Who knew that when you grew up, you would use my status as a princess and royal prestige as an excuse, and you wouldn't even say anything to me, and it would be difficult to see a smile! The year before last, the prince of Ling Guo came to congratulate him, and he almost had to discuss with his father, do you know how sad I felt at that time? Now it's just right, anyway, my seventeen-year-old princess is enough, and now with you by my side, it's worth it even if I die! ”

Qingbai's face was red and white, and she didn't know what to do with her hands, and when she heard her say "death", her face suddenly turned dark, and her big hand grabbed her two thin wrists and pulled down: "Don't talk nonsense!" Someone outside has already started to put out the fire, where is it so easy to die! Let go, Childe is still waiting for me to go up with him to put out the fire! ”

Ruixiang was like an octopus, the two hands that he had just taken down instantly stuck to him again, and there was a bag of tears in his eyes at some point: "I won't let go, I don't care about others, anyway, you have to stay with me!" Brother Qingbai, don't leave me! ”

Qingbai was worn helpless and a little unbearable by her, and her heart turned into water, but when she thought of her responsibility, she was suddenly in a dilemma.

Yan Xiaowei looked at it on the side, pursed the corners of her mouth, and forced herself to hold back the surprise in her heart, but she didn't expect that the princess was not interested in Rong Xiu, but Qingbai!

Rong Xiu looked at the two of them as if they were tied up, and waved his hand: "Forget it, don't go up, stay and protect the princess!" ”

Qingbai moved his throat: "Childe! ”

Rong Xiu ignored it, and walked out of the cabin in three steps and two steps.

Yan Xiaowei glanced at Qingbai and the princess, thought about it a little, and followed along!

As soon as I walked into the first class, I smelled a strong smell of burning, and the original bright yellow wood at the stern of the ship was burned into charcoal, and the tongue of fire was licking greedily with its head held high like a demon.

More than a dozen people were hurrying back and forth, pouring buckets of water on the raging flames.

The deck was wet everywhere, with scorching marks, Yan Xiaowei had just taken two steps with her skirt, and she slipped on the slippery ground, but fortunately, her lower back was firmly supported by a hand at the moment when she was about to fall. Yan Xiaowei turned her head and happened to see Rong Xiu's slightly constricted jaw.

Seeing them coming up, a man with a muscular face hurriedly threw a bucket and ran up: "General, why did you come up in person!" Can we guys still scare the fire! ”

Rong Xiu took a few steps forward: "How's it going?" Is the fire under control? ”

Guozi face nodded, and a mouthful of white teeth appeared on his blackened face: "Don't worry, I'm going to put it out for you!" The little bunny sprinkled enough brimstone to catch fire! But maybe because we have been patrolled by people above us, he didn't spread thoroughly enough, and they all gathered together. It just so happened that our brothers found out in time, and the cabin inside was fine, otherwise, our lives would not have been on the battlefield, and I am afraid that we would have become unjust ghosts in the sea! ”

Hearing him say this, Rong Xiu not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but his eyebrows tightened even tighter: "Has the person who sprinkled sulfur been caught?" Got a scar on your hand? ”

Guozi rolled up his sleeves with a face: "Don't mention it, tie it up and keep it for you!" Just now I took the time to interrogate for a while, this little rabbit cub is good, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, no matter how you ask, it is three words - 'I don't know'! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand: "Little Liuzi, bring that little rabbit cub to me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a small soldier carried a personal meat roll and threw it in front of Rong Xiu.

The meat roll was dropped, and he grinned in pain: "General Rong, please spare me, the little one really doesn't know anything!" The little one has only been sent on board by the dockyard division in the last few months, and I really don't know anything! ”

Guozi scolded him: "Don't talk nonsense, be honest with me!" ”

After roaring this, he winked at Yan Xiaoyi: "Brother and sister, look at it, is this the kid who gave you sulfur?" ”

Yan Xiaowei was taken aback by the "brother and sister" in his mouth: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not a 'brother and sister'!" ”

She looked carefully at the tightly tied person on the ground, and nodded, "That's right, it's him!" ”

The national character face smiled: "Brother and sister have a good memory!" Our generals too, we will never forget it after seeing it once! ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face was black, but this was not the time to be entangled in the salutation. She raised her eyes and glanced at Rong Xiu, only to see that his eyes were heavy, and he squatted down to look at the people on the ground: "Tell me, where did the sulfur come from?" ”

The little guy had a bitter face: "General Rong, I don't know, I accidentally saw it in the debris pile when I was cleaning the boat today!" I had just come to the ship, and I didn't know if I was allowed to bring this on the ship, so I thought who put it here, so I didn't think much about it. It just so happened that this girl said she wanted some sulfur, so I went to help get some! The conscience of heaven and earth, what I said is a true truth, and there is no element of lying at all! Think about it, if I put this brimstone away for bad things, can I tell others that I know? ”

Yan Xiaowei nodded inexplicably, yes, although the possibility of a thief shouting to catch a thief is not ruled out, but ordinary people do bad things after careful consideration, and try to avoid suspicion.

Rong Xiu listened, thought for a while, and instructed the little soldier: "Take him down and keep him under strict supervision, and tell me as soon as there is any situation!" In addition, send someone to check the personnel on this ship to see if anyone is behaving abnormally, and bring it over immediately if there is a suspicious object! ”

The little soldier hurriedly received the order: "Yes!" ”

As he spoke, the fire at the stern of the boat had become smaller, and Yan Xiaoyi's heart that had been carrying it was slightly relaxed. But the thought of the man who had deliberately brought the brimstone on board was still in the crowd, hiding somewhere on the ship, made her feel a little uneasy.

Seeing that she had been frowning, Guozi Face came over and smiled: "Brother and sister, don't worry, with a few of our brothers here, no matter how big the difficulty is!" ”

Yan Xiaoyan couldn't help but reply: "I told you, I'm not your brother and sister!" She pointed at Rong Xiu: "I have nothing to do with him!" ”

Guozi's face was disapproving: "I don't believe it, it doesn't matter, our general can take you wherever he goes?" Tanshui Temple, the pharmacy, this time on the boat! ”

Yan Xiaowei was taken aback, how did this person know about the few times he had met Rong Xiu?

Guozi smiled on his face, with an expression that you were caught by me: "Don't be shy, Qingbai told our brothers that you also treated the abdominal injury for our general!" This time I finally saw a real person, and I didn't need to look at the album! ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face turned blue and white for a while: "There is actually a picture album!" Rong Xiu, what the hell is going on! ”

Rong Xiu glanced at her: "Don't feel too good about yourself, it's all Qingbai pondering on the side, I don't like you as a thin and bad-tempered woman!" ”

Yan Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, this Qingbai!

was pursing the corners of his mouth and getting angry, and suddenly felt as if he hadn't seen Liu Tianze since he got on the boat!

She hurriedly looked around: "Strange, there was such a big movement, why didn't you see Liu Tianze?" ”

Rong Xiu's body stiffened, and his face sank suddenly: "Go and send someone to see Liu Gongzi!" ”

Yan Xiaowei secretly approached him, pulled his cuffs, and asked quietly, "The person who set the fire won't be Liu Tianze, right?" Hasn't he been at odds with you all the time? ”

Rong Xiu shook his head and sneered: "Impossible, although this guy is not in tune with people on weekdays, he usually does bad things above board, and it is not his character to hide it." Besides, we only learned from the queen yesterday afternoon that we were going to come to Mingquan Villa with the princess, and he couldn't have known that the prophet had put the brimstone on the ship! ”

Yan Xiaowei frowned: "Who is that person, and what is the purpose?" Scattering brimstone and lighting fires must be carried out on the ship, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to escape? ”

Rong Xiu's eyes suddenly turned cold: "I'm afraid, he didn't even think about escaping!" ”

The two of them were talking, and suddenly a small soldier stumbled out of the cabin, covering his lower abdomen in pain with one hand, and blood flowed from his fingers: "General, there is an ambush!" ”
