Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Late Night Fire
Without thinking too much, footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, and the masked man looked hesitant, and finally turned over and jumped out of the window······
The door squeaked open, and the copper coin sent Mu Lingzhi to the door and retreated. Under the candlelight, Mu Lingzhi's face rarely showed a tired posture, he took off his coat and was about to step into the bathtub, but he saw Yu Ruyan leaning on the edge of the bucket and sleeping soundly, and he didn't even notice that he opened the door and came in. He looked back at the table, where the food had not moved, and it had already cooled.
In the past few days, he has been on the road for days, and he has too many worries in his heart, and he hasn't noticed her who has been following him. Later, when he saw that she was not bitter or tired along the way, he thought that she could withstand such hardship, but he didn't expect that her thighs were grinding and bleeding······
He looked silently at the sleeping woman. Washed away the dust and frost on her face, her delicate face showed a dazzling brilliance under the reflection of the water waves. The face is pale, it is difficult to hide the tiredness, and the whole person is extremely delicate, which makes people feel pity.
Reaching out and touching the temperature of the water, the water was already cold, and if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would catch a cold.
Mu Lingzhi helplessly looked at someone who was sleeping more than a pig, leaned down, fished her out of the water, and put her on the bed.
It wasn't until the medicine on her leg was almost wiped that Yu Ruyan woke up with a confused face, looked at the handsome face in front of her in a daze, and then looked at her incomprehensible appearance, and suddenly her face was flushed with shame, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Your Highness······"
Seeing her shy appearance, Mu Lingzhi threw the ointment in his hand to her, and said coldly: "Before you get dressed, the shopkeeper is about to send hot water in." ”
The night was as cool as water, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and there was silence everywhere.
Yu Ruyan lay quietly on the floor, and Mu Lingzhi's steady breathing sound came from his ears, thinking about it, he was also tired, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
There was a cool feeling from the abrasion on her thigh, and her pretty face flushed, thinking of the way he seriously helped her wipe the medicine, her heart churned with endless warmth.
No one has ever been so kind to her.
What if he wasn't the one bent on killing himself!
If she is really just his maid, without that pathetic identity, how good it would be to stay by his side like this!
The silver moon poured on his handsome face, handsome eyebrows, thick eyelashes, and a high nose bridge, for a while, she was stupid.
Outside the window, there was a bright red fire, reflecting the blood red in the room, Yu Ruyan thought she was dreaming in a daze, until she smelled the smell of burning, she was shocked to see that the water was gone!
At this time, it was the eve of dawn, and it was also the time when people slept the deepest, and everyone in the inn did not realize the danger in their sweet dreams, until Yu Ruyan's scream woke up the innkeepers.
Suddenly, the entire inn was boiling, and the messy footsteps and the shouts of everyone woke up the people of the entire Guyu Town.
In the room, Mu Lingzhi had already been woken up by Yu Ruyan, he reacted quickly to pull her who was stupid, opened the door and wanted to rush out, but the fire at the door of their room was the largest, and there were raging fires on all sides. He stared at the ground and saw that there was fire oil soaking into the room through the door panel, and someone had deliberately set him on fire!
The main gate couldn't get out, so Mu Ling kicked open the window and threw herself out with Yu Ruyan in her arms. However, when his body reached the window, he was forced back into the room by a long sword that glittered with cold light. Looking up, a man in black with a silver mask in his hand jumped into the burning room with a long sword in his hand, and the long sword in his hand attacked him like a storm.
