Chapter 150: The Night Market Catches Fire

When Gu Qingyi came back to his senses, there was no trace of Feng Ming, so he had to ask, "What about the Feng guards?" ”

King Qin said with an unchanged face, "This king has something for him to do." ”

Gu Qingyi didn't ask any more questions, and continued to walk down the street to see the different scenery. Hu Yanhua suddenly stopped in front of a kebab stall and said to King Qin, "King Qin, I'm hungry and want to eat mutton skewers." ”

Feng Ming, the money bag, was not there, but it was not difficult, the guards present also brought silver, stepped forward to pay the silver, Hu Yanhua picked up a string of roast mutton and handed it to King Qin, "Although it is not as delicious as my roast on the grassland, the seasoning has a unique flavor." King Qin, you taste. ”

It is impossible for King Qin to eat mutton skewers on the street, Jing Xie shook his head insensitively, Hu Yanhua shook his lips, and handed the mutton skewers to Gu Qingyi, "Princess Qin, do you want to eat it?" ”

"No, princess, you have to yourself." The barbecue placed on the side of the street is really unhygienic, the smoke and dust are billowing on the road, I don't know how much falls on the barbecue, Gu Qingyi really can't convince himself to eat it.

Hu Yanhua, who was rejected one after another, suddenly sank his face, and directly threw the mutton skewers in his hand to the guards next to him, "It's for you." ”

The guard was at a loss for what to do with the mutton skewers, he saw that King Qin and Princess Qin had no intention of persuasion, and immediately understood the attitude of his master, thanked Hu Yanhua, and ate the barbecue generously.

I have to say that although the barbecue on the roadside is unhygienic, it is really fragrant.

After walking for such a long time, the food in Gu Qingyi's stomach had almost been digested, and at this time, he was hooked by the fragrance, and his throat rolled slightly. The other guards were not as reserved as Gu Qingyi, almost looking at someone who ate alone with envy, jealousy and hatred, it can be imagined that after shopping in the night market, someone who ate alone was estimated to be attacked by his colleagues.

King Qin glanced at Gu Qingyi, and directly pulled her into a small shop next to her, the store sold Lantern Festival, and the shopkeeper knew at a glance that they were either rich or expensive, so he hurriedly walked up and greeted her, "Noble, what do you want to have?" ”

"Two bowls of Lantern Festival." King Qin pulled Gu Qingyi to sit down, Gu Qingyi looked at Hu Yanhua, and still greeted, "The princess is also coming to eat a bowl, right?" ”

Hu Yanhua's face was still gloomy, but he still sat obediently on King Qin's side and asked, "Didn't you Central Plains people eat Lantern Festival during the Chinese New Year?" Why do you want to eat it now? ”

"The Lantern Festival means reunion, whether it is in the Lantern Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival, it can be eaten." Gu Qingyi explained, looked at the guards standing straight in the shop, and hurriedly said, "You guys can also sit down and eat." ”

The guards all looked at King Qin, and when they saw that he had no objection, they said in unison, "Thank you, princess." ”

The neat and loud voice shook the other diners in the restaurant, and they looked over with even more curiosity. Since becoming the princess of Qin, such curious eyes have never stopped, and Gu Qingyi has gradually become accustomed to and can face it calmly. At this time, the shopkeeper just brought up the round and lovely Lantern Festival, scooped one and put it in his mouth, the soft Lantern Festival skin was bitten, the peanut butter flowed out, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth, Gu Qingyi couldn't help but squint, and his mood became happy.

The Lantern Festival in this store is sweet but not greasy, Gu Qingyi accidentally ate all the bowls, she glanced at it, and found that Hu Yanhua didn't eat half of the left, and King Qin only moved two.

All the confusion disappeared when she saw the empty bowls stacked by the guards, and she comforted herself, not that she was too greedy, but that King Qin and Hu Yanhua didn't like food!

After the guards paid the bill, the group walked on the street again, the road was full of all kinds of lanterns, very exquisite, often you can see men and women gathered in pairs in front of the lanterns, the man bought a lantern for his beloved, and the woman bowed her head and smiled shyly, and the end was sweet and sticky.

Well, it's even sweeter than the bowl of Lantern Festival I just ate.

Gu Qingyi was thinking about it, when a jade rabbit pill-pounding lantern was suddenly stuffed in his hand, and the clear and cold Guanghan Palace was stained with temperature by the orange of the candle center, and the ice blade melted.

She was slightly stunned, and raised the lamp to look at King Qin.

The contours of the face are thin and cold, with resolute sharp edges that even warm light cannot blend. He was looking at her, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his dark eyes were gilded with a deep darkness, and he was bottomless.

His voice was low and hoarse, and he asked, "The princess doesn't like it?" ”

Gu Qingyi's gaze fell back on the lantern, and her voice was shallow, "No, the concubine likes it very much, thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"I want it too!"

Hu Yanhua is really a qualified third party, interrupting the dark tide between the two again, she looked at King Qin longingly, "I like this lantern of Chang'e running to the moon, can King Qin buy it for me?" ”

King Qin frowned, his face was already showing displeasure, but Hu Yanhua didn't know it, he was still pestering him delicately, King Qin glanced at Gu Qingyi, who was silent, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he said coldly to the guard, "Buy the lantern for the princess." ”

The guards hurriedly handed the silver to the stall owner, took down the lantern and handed it to Hu Yanhua, Hu Yanhua was a little unhappy, because she felt that it was not handed to her by King Qin personally, and it was a step lower than Gu Qingyi, but after thinking about it, this was what King Qin ordered the guards to buy for her, and King Qin bought it for her to simplify the complex, and immediately laughed with satisfaction.

As time passed, the number of people on the street increased instead of decreasing, so crowded that the guards had to compress the space inside to barely pass, Gu Qingyi was already addicted, and when she saw the increase in the crowd, she was not interested, she was worried that there would be an accident if she continued to squeeze, so she said, "Lord Wang, the hour is not early, let's go back." ”

"No way!"

Hu Yanhua, who was resolute, probably realized that her tone was wrong, and a touch of unnaturalness flashed on her face, and she softened her tone and said, "I haven't shopped enough." ”

Gu Qingyi said, "This concubine is physically exhausted, so she really can't go on." If the princess is still interested, it is not impossible to continue walking around with the guards. ”

Hu Yanhua looked a little anxious, as if he didn't want Gu Qingyi to leave, and at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the crowd, "It's on fire!" It's on fire! Run! ”

The lantern is made of bamboo strips as the skeleton, pulp and paper as the surface, and the inside is covered with a small candle flame, which has certain potential safety hazards. But the people who were immersed in the joyful atmosphere did not care about it, and it only took a casual negligence to cause the fire to spread, and this time was no exception.

The source of the fire was a lantern stall. There are bright lanterns hanging in the shelves, many young couples gather in front of the stall to guess the lantern riddles, I don't know which lantern suddenly fell to the ground, the candle flame burst on the pulp and paper and burned, and soon spread to the lanterns on the shelf, the fire gradually increased.

Exclamations and screams suddenly erupted, and the stall owner picked up the prepared water and splashed it, but it was only a drop in the bucket, and soon spread to the vendor next door, and the beacon fire burned the plain.

The already crowded streets suddenly became a mess, and the crowd of six gods and owners began to flee in all directions, shouting, crying for help, and crying were noisy, and suddenly an old man in brown was pushed and fell down in the crowd, and was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd and disappeared.

Someone was screaming, "Stampede to death, trample to death!" ”

Gu Qingyi's heart almost stopped beating, she was escorted by King Qin and retreated again and again, and finally placed her in a roadside shop, "Stay well, this king will save people." ”

After the king of Qin instructed the guards to watch the people, he squeezed up against the crowd, and his clear voice could be faintly heard shouting, "Don't panic, everyone, spread out and go, don't step on people." ”

However, the people who were busy escaping ignored him at all, still pushing and shoving, crying and shouting, and in the blink of an eye, King Qin was knocked out of sight.

Gu Qingyi finally panicked, and hurriedly said to the guards, "Quick, you all go and help the prince." ”

The guards looked embarrassed, "But the prince asked his subordinates to protect the princess." ”

"I'm sitting in the store and don't need protection." Gu Qingyi said eagerly, "It is more dangerous for the prince to be alone in the crowd, you go and help evacuate the crowd, and besides, come and call Jin Wuwei to put out the fire!" ”

The guards were immediately convinced, leaving two guards to guard, and the others rushed into the crowd to find King Qin, Gu Qingyi fidgeted, and kept praying for King Qin's safety - King Qin has always been indifferent, Gu Qingyi never thought that one day, he would actually risk his life to save people.

Maybe she never knew him.

It is also said that a prince who is willing to give up his glory and wealth and go to the border to guard is originally a person who cares about the world. Everyone, including her, was just blinded by King Qin's indifferent and ruthless appearance.

The firelight in the distance grew brighter, the thick smell of burnt fire came from the air, and the heat wave fluttered. More and more screams and cries came, and Gu Qingyi fidgeted, pacing in a panic, and kept looking outside.

Suddenly, she saw a banner hanging in front of the shop to attract customers, and she immediately had an idea.

When life safety is threatened, most people's sanity is in a state of chaos, such as the fire scene at this time, a group of ordinary people are like headless flies, not only do not flee from danger, but because of panic, they become more and more congested, and even stampede occur.

In the midst of the noise, a soft but firm female voice shouted in the distance, and gradually someone noticed the source of the sound, but it was a noble lady with a big belly who was evacuating the crowd. She stepped on the table, shaking the white flag, which stood out in the night sky against the firelight.

The woman's voice was as crisp and pleasant as the collision of jade, with the power of calmness and calming people's hearts, strangely calming people, and slowly, people began to follow her guidance and evacuate to the side alley.

With the example of the first, the people behind also settled down, no longer pushed and shoved indiscriminately, and dispersed in an orderly manner, about a quarter of an hour, the congested scene suddenly dissipated without a trace, and even the people spontaneously extinguished the fire.

Gu Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted again in an already hoarse voice, "Isolate the flammable materials first." ”

Because of the evacuation just now, Gu Qingyi was full of prestige at this time, and everyone moved the flammable materials away according to the instructions, and began to pour water on the fire, and it didn't take long for the fire to gradually stop, and thick black smoke came out.

Gu Qingyi was choked and coughed, and was helped down from the table by two guards, their expressions were admiring and solemn, and their views on her were completely different from the past.

Princess Qin really deserves to be the prince's woman, and this courage is incomparable to ordinary women.

At this time, the shopkeeper who was pulled by her white flag brought a bowl of tea, and said in the name of the guard, "Princess Niangniang, you can drink tea to moisten your throat." ”

Gu Qingyi hurriedly thanked him, took a sip, and his throat was really much more comfortable.

The fire was finally extinguished, and there was still no trace of King Qin, Gu Qingyi walked to the door uncomfortably and waited, and at this moment, an accident occurred!
