Chapter 346: Helpless

Finally arrived at the place where there was no fire on the periphery, Lin Huiru looked around, there were only people who cut down trees according to her orders, and Xu Ziqiao was not seen at all.

"Have you seen Xu Ziqiao?" Anxious, Lin Huiru casually pulled someone over and asked.

After the palace people saw clearly that it was Lin Huiru, they wiped the sweat on their heads and looked around, "Lord Xu was still here just now, it seems that he received some news and rushed back." ”

Lin Huiru was stunned for a moment, went back?

In order to be sure, Lin Huiru asked a few more people and then rode back, and she only saw the three people when she coughed straight from the smoke, but she was a step too late.

"Lord Xu, Shizi, Lord Jiang, the wind is blowing, the fire in the east and south is serious, and Your Majesty is also waiting for a reply, what should I do?" The people who came to report the news didn't know if they were here to separate the three of them, Lin Huiru stepped forward, and after Xu Ziqiao was surprised, he took out a handkerchief and covered Lin Huiru's mouth and nose.

"Why are you here?" Xu Ziqiao frowned and asked.

Before Lin Huiru could explain, Qi Zhengxi opened his mouth first, "Since Mrs. Lin is here, then I will go to the east, Jiang Yu will go to the west, Brother Xu, you will take Mrs. Lin back to restore your life." ”

Jiang Yu nodded and agreed, "You can't stay here for a long time, the smoke is getting heavier and heavier." ”

"Okay, that's hard work for you." Xu Ziqiao nodded in agreement, Lin Huiru choked and coughed, and it was too late to speak.

Lin Huiru came to his senses, "No, we can't go back." ”

"Why?" Xu Ziqiao was puzzled.

"This may be a trap, when I came, I heard that someone wanted to separate you from Qi Zhengxi and Jiang Yuhao to do something unfavorable to you, so I came out to find you, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. cough cough ......" Lin Huiru wiped the tears that were smoked, if they went further, they would probably meet the people in that tent, if they knew martial arts, it would be easy to kill them.

But the question arises again, if it weren't for their people, if they didn't go back at this moment, wouldn't they be guilty of defrauding the king?

The person who delivered the message just now had already left, and seeing that Lin Huiru was in pain, Xu Ziqiao twisted his eyebrows, raised his hand and pumped to the horse under him, and took Lin Huiru to follow Qi Zhengxi.

Seeing them, Qi Zhengxi was still a little puzzled, "Didn't you go back to restore your life?"

"There is fraud, when I came, I happened to hear that someone was planning something unfavorable to Ziqiao, I don't know if I can trouble Shizi to change it now?" Lin Huiru asked after a while.

Qi Zhengxi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, he still believed in Lin Huiru's words, and didn't ask more, Qi Zhengxi agreed, "Okay, then I'll report to Your Majesty, and someone will pick you up when I go back, you be careful." ”

After thanking Qi Zhengxi, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao went to the place where the fire was raging.

Coincidentally, the east wind was blowing at this time, and the fire spread almost twice as fast.

"Pull back 50 meters, cut as many small trees as you can, and assign some people to dig a fire pit, so that the fire must not continue to spread." Xu Ziqiao was calm and calm, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he still had the ashes on his face that he didn't know when.

Lin Huiru leaned further into the periphery, if you calculated the speed of cutting down the tree just now and the speed at which the fire spread, the distance given by Xu Ziqiao should be just right.

But...

She always felt that the wind was a little wet, and when she looked up, there was not a single star in the sky, only the light of the skylight illuminated the place brightly.

Now that the fire is closing the road, after the spread, basically the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out, Lin Huiru and Xu Ziqiao can only be anxious outside.

Fortunately, the area in the middle of the woodland is not large, and the speed of cutting down trees should be a little faster.

"This fire really wants the lives of all of us, even if it is King Xiang, it is estimated that he will not want to use this method of killing a hundred enemies and losing eight thousand, who is ......" Xu Ziqiao was still thinking hard about the motive for setting fire this time, but Lin Huiru made a new discovery.

Some places were actually dripping with oil, and it seems that this time the fire can spread so quickly, or someone has done it, it was originally in autumn when there are many dry and fallen leaves, and in this case sprinkled vegetable oil, the purpose is obvious.

"Be careful, prepare more water, don't pour water on the fire, pour it on your body to avoid burns!" Lin Huiru finished shouting at the top of his voice, his voice was almost drowned out by the crackling sound of the trees, and I don't know how many people could hear it.

Xu Ziqiao came to a few people to spread the message, and in this case, there could be no more injured people.

The burning of this fire was shocking, and just when Lin Huiru was shocked, he suddenly heard the sound of squirming footsteps behind him.

"Be careful!" Lin Huiru's brain was empty, and he subconsciously pounced on Xu Ziqiao and rolled off the horse with him, a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground had accumulated, and it didn't hurt much if he fell.

Xu Ziqiao quickly turned over, and when he saw the masked man behind Lin Huiru, he quickly pushed Lin Huiru to the side, and he unexpectedly grabbed a handful of gravel and fallen leaves from the ground and threw them over.

Taking advantage of the person's dodge, he kicked the man's dagger impartially, and then attacked the door and the next plate, and quickly restrained the person.

Lin Huiru was still a little shocked, Xu Ziqiao's appearance of showing off her skills just now made her a little relieved, when did Xu Ziqiao actually know martial arts?

After packing up the person who came to assassinate in disguise, Xu Ziqiao hurriedly picked up Lin Huiru, frowned and looked at her situation with concern, "How is it?" Did you hit anything? Does the wound still hurt?"

Lin Huiru shook his head stunned, "I'm fine, what about you, are you hurt?" ”

"How could something happen to me." Xu Ziqiao reluctantly hugged Lin Huiru in his arms, because he hugged him too tightly, Lin Huiru had to tiptoe to support himself.

"But, when did you actually learn martial arts?" Lin Huiru asked happily, it seems that those people didn't expect Xu Ziqiao to have martial arts, otherwise if he hadn't despised Xu Ziqiao, it was very likely that he would have to fight for a while.

Hearing her ask, Xu Ziqiao coughed lightly and put her down, "I haven't told you all the time, I'm worried that when I encounter a crisis, relying on others is not the way to go, so I found a master to learn some martial arts, so I can protect you, I didn't want it to come in handy." ”

"You looked very handsome just now, why didn't you tell me, are you afraid that I will dislike you?" Lin Huiru laughed and teased, now Xu Ziqiao is becoming more and more sharp, which can be regarded as a good thing.

When Xu Ziqiao saw her say this, his mood also relaxed a lot, "It's still three-legged cat kung fu, I wanted to tell you later." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ziqiao suddenly felt the tip of his nose wet.
