Out of the Fengyi Inn, turning a street corner, there is an open space backed by a small mountain forest, which is a gathering place for various vendors, similar to the night market in the previous life. Tonight, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people had the activity of burning the fire tower, and the hawkers moved their stalls to both sides of the long street as if they had made an appointment, and the square was vacated for the people's entertainment.

When Hua Mian and his entourage arrived, the square was already full of people singing and dancing around the fire towers they had built, and countless fire towers more than one person high lit up the night sky like giant torches. Someone throws salt into the tower, there is a sound similar to firecrackers "crackling" and exploding, very similar to the fireworks blooming in the sky, there are also people who pour kerosene into the tower, the fire is dazzling, like the fire tree silver flower, it is very good-looking.

Hua Mian pointed to the tallest fire tower and said to Ji Yunye: "How about we build a higher one than that?" ”

Ji Yunye smiled and nodded.

They bought bricks and tiles from Hulang, Hua Mian asked Li Mo and Ji Yunye to build a fire tower together, and he took Liang Yinchu to pick up branches in the mountains and forests. After the four of them were busy for a quarter of an hour, a sizable fire tower was built.

Hua Mian looked at their masterpiece with satisfaction and said to Ji Yunye: "This height is estimated to be a zhang." ”

Ji Yunye chuckled: "Yes, it's nearly twice as tall as the tallest one." ”

Hua Mian suddenly showed a victorious smile, but she looked left and right, and always felt that something seemed to be missing, and finally she patted her head and said: "High is high enough, but unfortunately the fire is not burning enough." You're watching here, and I'll pick up some more branches. With that, he ran away like a gust of wind.

Seeing Hua Mian jumping into the woods like a cheerful rabbit, Ji Yunye couldn't help but smile. It's been a long time since I've seen her so happy, and I hope she can always be like today, with only laughter and no worries.

While his thoughts wandered, Ji Yunye only felt that a dark shadow was coming towards him. He subconsciously stretched out his arm to block, but he didn't hit anything substantial, but was splashed by the sticky liquid, and his nose was suddenly filled with a smell of fire oil. Immediately after, a flaming branch flew towards it. Ji Yunye's face changed suddenly.

Between the lightning and the stone fire, Ji Yunye only felt that the silver light flashed in front of him, and the burning branch turned in a direction in front of him, drawing a bright arc, falling into the distance, and scattering a spark. At the same time, Li Mo and Liang Yinchu held swords on the left and right to protect him.

Before they could breathe, countless arrows and flaming branches rained at them from all directions. Dazzling, the three of them constantly changed their sword styles, knocking the stray arrows and branches away one by one. Although Li Mo and Liang Yinchu have experienced a hundred battles, they can't help but be frightened at this moment. Ji Yunye was doused with fire oil, and if he touched a spark, he would immediately burst into flames, and the assassins' attacks were so dense that he didn't even have time to take off his robes.

The reveling crowd was frightened by this sudden change and scattered, and after a while, only the three of Ji Yunye and the black-clothed masked people who surrounded them were left in the square.

Hua Mian walked out of the forest with a full branch in his arms, and was stunned by the fight in front of him. I saw more than a dozen black-clothed men besieging Ji Yunye's three and his eight secret guards, and some people kept knocking down the surrounding fire towers, and sparks were scattered.

Li Mo shouted, "Your Highness get out of the way." It's a pity that the change was too fast, and before Ji Yunye could react, he saw a red light rushing towards his face, hitting him directly.

Everyone only heard a "hula" sound, and saw Ji Yunye burning like a fireball.

At that moment, Hua Mian only felt that his liver and intestines were broken. She threw the branch in her arms and rushed forward in a hurry, but was blocked by several black-clothed men who appeared out of nowhere, and without saying a word, they stabbed her with a sword.

The moment the fire started, Li Mo shouted, "Yinchu, you cover", then dropped the sword in his hand and rushed to Ji Yunye, holding him and rolling to the ground. Between the rabbit and the falcon, Liang Yinchu and a secret guard quickly stepped forward to cover, but the sword had no eyes, and Li Mo was still rolling with two swords in his body, one sword stabbed in the arm that protected Ji Yunye, and the other stabbed in the back of the heart. He endured great pain and looked at Ji Yunye, who was protected by himself, the fire had been extinguished at this time, although he was not lightly injured, but his life seemed to be fine, his heart was relieved, and he fainted.

When he was surrounded by fire, Ji Yunye's mind flashed quickly with Hua Mian. At that moment, he suddenly realized that he still had a lot of things to do, and if he died like this, he was really unwilling. It's not that he's afraid of death, he just regrets that the vow he made by the Qujin River can't be fulfilled.

When the firelight disappeared and the burning pain suddenly magnified, he seemed to wake up from a dream, and looked up at Li Mo's eyes full of pain and slightly relieved.

When Li Mo fainted, he heard more people joining the fight, looked up, and saw a group of Tsing Yi guards fighting with the men in black, and outside the battlefield, a young man in brocade was frowning and patrolling around, and then he heard him anxiously asking, "Where is Hua Mian?" ”

His heart tightened, Hua Mian should have come back long ago after picking up the branches, and he was afraid that it would be more than auspicious at the moment. In desperation, he pushed Li Mo away, only to find that his clothes were soaked with blood. He asked one of the guards around him to hand over Li Mo to the brocade-clothed young man not far away, and he turned over and got up, but he felt that there was no pain in his body. Liang Yinchu stepped forward to support him, and retreated to safety while holding his sword.

The men in black are not in love with war, and I don't know who blew a whistle, but they scattered in an instant, and disappeared in a moment.

The brocade-clothed boy was Kang Muning, he handed over Li Mo to his subordinates, and ordered him to send people to Fengyi Inn to Ling Yue for healing, while he hurried to Ji Yunye's side.

At this time, Ji Yunye's clothes were already in tatters, and the burned places on his face and body were all blistered, which was very terrifying.

Kang Muning couldn't help frowning deeply: "Your injuries are not light, you must be treated as soon as possible." So saying, he ordered the carriage to be driven over.

Ji Yunye looked anxious and said, "I can't leave yet, Mian'er is in danger, I want to find her first." ”

Kang Muning patiently subdivided and said: "You can leave with confidence, and I will save you." First, you are seriously injured and cannot help much; Second, your injuries cannot be delayed; Third, if you look like this, it would be strange if she didn't feel distressed to death. ”

Although Ji Yunye couldn't see his current appearance, the burning pain was still there, and he could imagine that his face must have been ruined, so he endured the pain and said: "If you can save Myanmar, I will repay you for your great kindness." ”

Kang Muning nodded firmly at him: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Mian'er back to you unscathed." After that, he ordered someone to send him to the Furong Courtyard where Ling Yue was staying at the Fengyi Inn, and he took a few guards into the mountains and forests.

As soon as they entered the forest, there was an ethereal sound of the flute faintly, several people followed the sound and walked quickly, the deeper into the forest, the more clear the sound of the flute, and when they arrived in a clearing, they all shook their bodies and stopped suddenly. I saw Hua Mian standing on the branch of a big tree, with a cruel light in his eyes, and the sound of the flute spit out of his mouth carried the intention of urging him to kill, and he was cold and resentful. And several people under the tree, wielding swords to kill each other, each of them has been hit by several swords, or blind, or broken feet and missing hands, or intestines through the stomach, the state is unbearable but still does not stop.

Kang Muning only felt that his heart seemed to be grabbed by a hand, and he twisted it again, and the pain was so painful that it spasmed, and he shouted bitterly: "Enough!" ”

Hua Mian was so shocked that her body trembled suddenly, she raised her eyes to look at Kang Muning, and after a while, she seemed to remember what had just happened, and then turned her gaze to the several people who were killing each other, and her pupils shrank suddenly, as if she couldn't believe that she would do such a cruel thing.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, there was only coldness in her eyes. She flew and jumped off the tree, ran to Kang Muning's side and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ye, he ......"

Kang Muning looked her up and down, and seeing that she was unscathed, he pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, he'll be fine, have you forgotten that there is still Ling Yue?" ”

This seemingly comforting sentence was like a scoop of cold water poured on her head in winter, freezing her instantly. Her body trembled uncontrollably, how injured was Brother Ye that he had to ask Ling Yue for help?

Kang Muning sighed and said to the Tsing Yi guard behind him: "Give them a good time." Then he took Hua Mian's hand and walked out of the forest.
