The clanging gongs sounded, as if to shatter what should have been a peaceful night.

The officials were also immediately panicked, and immediately looked around to check the situation.

In order to ensure the authenticity of the test, once the test taker enters the test room, it will be locked immediately, even if a fire kills someone, the lock cannot be unlocked.

If they were really burned, they would have to flee for their lives.

"Check it out!"

As soon as the chief of the officials gave the order, two officials took the order and ran quickly in the direction from which the sound came with lanterns.

At this time, the sound of the gong, which was as dense as raindrops, was even more intense.

The candidates are not deaf, so how can they not hear the movement?

When this kind of life is at stake, most people have no intention of answering the questions, sighing one after another, and begin to say goodbye to their relatives who are not around.

The chief moved his nose, as if he had smelled the burning smell in the air, and shouted loudly to the Kausha, "Gentlemen, do not be alarmed! Don't make a lot of noise, either! We'll definitely get the fire under control! ”

"Boss! The fire was kindled from the west! I've set the three rooms on the edge on fire! It's spreading this way! ”

A servant ran back, out of breath, "When we arrived, there was a person nearby, he was strong in martial arts, and he ran away in a few clicks, we didn't dare to chase it rashly, so we left one person there to check, and the subordinates came back to report the situation!" ”

"Hmph, who is so bold as to dare to openly disturb the scourge of Qiuyu!"

The chief of the government was instantly angry, and He Fang also hurried over, with some sleepiness on his face, and he was still wearing his belt while walking.

"My lord, someone deliberately set the fire, the fire is not small, and this matter is strange, I hope you will be careful."

The chief of the government explained the situation in a few words, and He Fang also immediately gave instructions, "Let people inform the city guards, do their best to unite, and the murderer must be arrested, in addition, this official is here to personally supervise, leaving only a few people to accompany him, and everyone is left to fight the fire!" It is important to ensure the safety of the examination room and the future pillars of the future! ”

"Yes!"

The chief of the government immediately complied, and after leaving four people to accompany He Fang, he took people to fight the fire.

And He Fang had already sorted out his demeanor at this time, so he coughed heavily and said to those candidates, "You all came to the capital with lofty ideals, but ideals are not something that can be achieved by talking, besides, none of you can come out, so simply let the official see if you have the firmest determination to complete this exam, if you are really burned by the fire, the official will never withdraw a step!" ”

His words were very encouraging, and they also made the restless and flustered candidates begin to quiet down.

Because they were not allowed to speak casually, otherwise they would be suspected of exchanging ears, so someone solemnly bowed to He Fang, expressing respect and gratitude, and then picked up the pen and continued to write.

More and more people began to follow suit, and finally, miraculously quieted down, as if the previous sound of 'walking water' had never sounded.

He Fang looked at them with satisfaction, and then said slowly, "If something really happens, your family, this official will arrange someone to take care of it, please rest assured to answer the question." ”

As a result, the fire in the west rose into the sky, but in the examination room here, there was calm silence.

This kind of magical but uncontrollable sad feeling made He Fang sigh low in his heart.

That's the only thing he can do.

At this time, Ye Qingli had already put on her night clothes.

"Princess, what are you doing here?"

Linglong blocked the door with a nervous face, stretched out her arms to guard the door tightly, and didn't let her go out.

"Go out and have fun."

Ye Qingli straightened her collar and pinched her fingers crackling.

"It's a big night, princess, what are you playing......"

Linglong's voice was weak, with a hint of pleading.

She had a hunch that if the princess went out at this time, there would definitely be nothing good!

"That is, go out and see the moon."

Ye Qingli smiled lightly and reached out to touch Linglong.

"King—"

"Shhhh

Linglong suddenly found that she couldn't move or speak, and Ye Qingli leaned in front of her face and said with a smile, "At most, in two hours, the acupuncture points will be automatically unlocked." ”

Then he opened the door and went out.

And Linglong could only watch Ye Qingli's figure disappear.

……

Xiao Tingyi hadn't slept yet, still holding the peace buckle and rubbing it, thinking about what it would be used for.

But I don't know why, Ye Qingli's smiling face always appears on the peace button.

"Lord Wang, the autumn examination room is on fire."

Lin Feng pushed the door in, his expression a little serious.

Xiao Tingyi frowned, and actually asked, "What about her?" ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment and replied, "My subordinates don't know, let's go and see it now." ”

After that, you have to go out.

And Xiao Tingyi had already stood up, his steps were hurried, his body was like the wind, and he jumped out a few steps ahead of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was stunned behind him, and then, he reached out and touched his nose and smiled.

However, after he followed Xiao Tingyi to Ye Qingli, he only saw Linglong who was fixed in place, and Xiao Tingyi's dark face.

The princess is really not here, Lin Feng thought to himself.

But somehow, he was still laughing.

"Where did she go?"

Xiao Tingyi asked Linglong with a dark face, but she couldn't get an answer.

At this time, Linglong was only teary-eyed, anxious and aggrieved, and couldn't say a word.

Xiao Tingyi's face turned even darker.

So, he turned around and walked out, because he couldn't solve the acupuncture.

Lin Feng immediately went to chase Xiao Tingyi's figure, turned around again, and comforted him sympathetically, "Linglong, you wait, when the prince brings the princess back, you will be free." ”

After finishing speaking, he also blended into the dark night outside and disappeared in a hurry.

At this time, most of the examination room had already burned.

The strange thing is that no matter how much water is poured, the fire will not be extinguished, and it will burn more and more, but this is only after saving it for a while, everyone reacts.

However, seeing the flames getting higher and higher, He Fang's wide head couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The reason why he swore to live and die with the candidates was because he felt that the fire could be extinguished and that the exam would not be disrupted.

But now it seems that the arsonist was intent on burning them!

Because this fire cannot be extinguished!

But at this time, no one among the candidates panicked.

They held the pen calmly and looked solemn, as if they had regarded this test as a battle and contest that could only be won and not lost.

"My lord! Please leave now! ”

The chief of the staff ran back again, with some black ash on his face and choking smoke on his body, and his expression was anxious.

"Nope."

He Fang shook his head, "This official can't leave." ”

Before the last moment, there must be room for him, and he must not go.

"Your Excellency!"

The chief of the officials was anxious, but at this time, he heard some small movements, so he hurriedly looked and found that a dark shadow flashed not far away.

"What people!"

The chief of the officials gave the rest of the officials a wary look, so that they must have protected He Fang, and then he pulled out his sword from the sheath and chased after him.

Who is he chasing?

Ye Qingli, of course.

Tonight, she suddenly felt in her heart, so she calculated and learned that there would be a disaster in the examination room, but Ye Qingli didn't expect that He Fang would stick to his position and refuse to leave.

She originally planned that if He Fang left, she would take the opportunity to look for Mei Yihan and ask him about the red shadow, but it was seen that He Fang refused to leave, so she temporarily decided to take the risk and look for it carefully.

After all, civil officials don't know martial arts, and although the chief of the government is a powerful middle-aged man, compared to kung fu, Ye Qingli is also above him.

But what I didn't notice was that there was a pen under my feet.

is round, not only made a movement, but also almost slipped her, but in the end, with the level of the chief of the government, he will definitely not be able to catch up with her.

She doesn't have to worry about security, but she needs to be careful not to reveal her identity.

Even if she can't catch up with her, if she can't keep chasing, she can't sneak away all night, she will be exhausted.

Therefore, after running out of the examination room over the wall, she tried her best to deviate from the scope of the Xianwang Mansion and ran in the direction of the outside of the city in order to confuse the public.

Otherwise, even if you escape tonight, there will be a large-scale search in the capital.

But as she ran, she suddenly bumped into a person from the corner of the street and grabbed her in her hand.

"Nonsense!"

The voice was soft, but the severity of his tone did not diminish at all.

It's Xiao Tingyi.

How did he end up here?

Ye Qingli glanced at him, then lowered his head and didn't speak, and was about to push him away, but he didn't want to, he was directly caught in his arms, and then he rose into the air and jumped onto the roof.

"They're up!"

The officials chasing after shouted loudly, but unfortunately, only the chief of the officials could do a little light, and hurriedly went to the roof to chase after them, and the rest of the people appeared on the stage with Lin Feng masked, and they all fell to the ground one by one.

"Stop!"

Xiao Tingyi also changed into night clothes, covered his face, and took Ye Qingli's feet to make the wind, flying eaves and walking on the wall, so at this time, the chief of the government would never think who he was chasing.

And soon, Lin Feng also caught up, and easily jumped between Xiao Tingyi and the chief of the government, blocking this chase without suspense.

The two clanged, and Xiao Tingyi didn't stop, he fell directly to the ground with Ye Qingli, turned left and right, and finally disappeared.

After being sure that they had really left safely, Lin Feng accelerated his offensive and directly punched the chief officer, and then quickly ran away.

The chief of the official grinned on the eaves, he struggled to get up, wanted to go down, but accidentally stepped on a piece of tiles, and fell down with a clatter, if it wasn't for the subconscious two-handed eaves, he would have to plant head-down.

However, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard someone open the window and roar, "What the hell is this bastard!" Dare to disturb the good deeds of this king! Don't want to live! ”
