Chapter 25: Ten Fingers Intertwined

Although the fire in the deserted courtyard is not as strong as the one that is about to be engulfed in Jiusiyuan, it is also burning, and the house is about to collapse.

Shi Zhongyu admits that she is not a person who acts bravely, but like ordinary people, she has basic kindness, and she can't do it if she sees a person being burned to death without helping.

But was that person scared silly? Why not move? Should she run back to Kusiin to call someone, or should she save herself? In less than a second, several thoughts rolled through her mind. And she was about to open her mouth to cry, but the man turned his head.

The light of the fire, reflecting his beautiful and cold face. Every time I see it, my eyes are filled with loneliness like ashes, and there are ...... The mixture of fear and stubbornness made Murong Ke like a beast trapped in a trap, full of strength, but he was bound and had nowhere to go, terrifying and pitiful.

Shi Zhongyu was suppressed, she never imagined that His Royal Highness King Yu, who could not be found everywhere, would appear in this burning deserted courtyard. It doesn't look like he's going to commit suicide, so why doesn't he run away? But it was as if they were confronting the fire to see who would win in the end.

In the end, she felt that the so-called demons were species that ordinary people could not understand. Unfortunately, when she saw Murong Ke, Murong Ke also saw her. At this time, she couldn't slip away anyway. Otherwise, if Murong Ke came out, she would have a great sin. In her opinion, it was easy for the dead demon to come out, but he seemed to be reluctant to do so.

"Your Highness, come out quickly! Dangerous! She shouted, beckoning desperately. I didn't know it was useless, but I did it anyway.

Sure enough, Murong Keli ignored it, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a mocking smile appeared faintly. Seductive, but hateful.

It's so perverted!

Shi Zhongyu wanted to leave several times, but in the end, he stomped his feet and desperately rushed into the deserted courtyard that was not yet a sea of fire, but it was not too much. didn't care about any etiquette, didn't care about status, and didn't care about the dignity of men and women, so he stepped forward and grabbed Murong Ke's hand, and without saying a word, he ran out with him.

Murong Ke was very passive, he didn't resist, he was almost mechanically forcibly pulled by Shi Zhongyu, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he suddenly relaxed in extreme tension, and as if he had waited for a long time in front of death, and finally looked forward to the dawn, and there was a slight happiness for a while, and there was ...... The thrill of wanting revenge.

If then...... If he can hope for it......

For the first time, he prayed to Heaven that if anyone could appear in front of him, he would repay it with his life and never betray and forsake him. But no. The second time, he swore to Hell that if someone stood by him, he would give his life and soul to that person. However, there is still none. And now, he no longer has a grateful heart, but he just wants to make the person who holds him look good. It's just that he doesn't understand, if there is a providence in the dark, why is the person in front of him just a low-level family?

What the hell is this?!

With a snap, the pillar on the cloister broke, and it fell on the two of them. Although Shi Zhongyu is clever, his body that has not practiced martial arts cannot react quickly. Instinctively, Murong Ke waved his palm and pushed horizontally, and the broken wood that was on fire immediately broke off and flew to both sides. The splashable sparks frightened the stone jade. So much so that when she escaped from the deserted courtyard, she only knew that her hand was intertwined with Murong Ke's ten fingers, but she didn't remember who dragged whom out.

Anyway, at the beginning, she was the rescuer, so she should be regarded as the active party.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...... Are you alright? Shi Yuyu struggled twice, but her hand still couldn't let go.

"You're faithful." Murong Ke smiled coldly.

In Shi Zhongyu's opinion, this was not the attitude towards the life-saving benefactor at all, but as if she was blaming her for disturbing him to appreciate the beauty of the flames.

She laughed twice, but did not dare to reply. His Royal Highness King Yu is accustomed to picking bones in eggs, saying less and making fewer mistakes, and would rather pretend to be stupid than let him seize the opportunity to play on the topic. It's just that why hasn't he let go of her hand yet?!

Murong Ke noticed her struggle, raised the hands of the two of them high, and pulled out their fingers one by one, as if they were all inlaid just now.

His hands are quite beautiful, large and slender, slightly dry and warm, if you use the usual description, say that the fingers are like jade carvings, although appropriate, but it seems a little fragile, in short, his hands are very powerful, very perfect, can be used as a hand model. But his movements were always a little ambiguous, which made Shi Zhongyu blush suddenly.

Calm! Calm! You're a man now! No, it's a boy. It's just a handshake, how can you be so twisted? She continued to conduct self-psychological counseling, but it didn't work at all, and her heart rate never went down since it went up.

Fortunately, at this time, a person stumbled and ran from the opposite direction of the Jiuju Courtyard and fell directly at Murong Ke's feet.

"Your Highness, the old slave is guilty, please punish Your Highness." But it's Xia Shixiong.

Shi Zhongyu hurriedly took the opportunity to flash to the side, only to see that Murong Ke's complexion immediately returned to normal, arrogant and a little cynical, "Gonggong Xia, the king of Japan is about to go on an expedition, and the affairs of the palace are all in charge of the Zhao family." Get up first. That means that Xia Shixiong asked Zhao Bifan to ask for guilt.

"Yes." Xia Shixiong responded, but struggled a few times, but he didn't stand up.

Murong Ke glanced at Shi Zhongyu from the corner of his eye, and Shi Zhongyu immediately stepped forward smartly and supported Xia Shixiong. As she got closer, a strong smell of wine almost made her fall back.

That's how much you've drunk, this old man.

"Your Highness, fire and water are ruthless, go back." Xia Shixiong stood up straight and then persuaded.

Murong Ke let out a "hmm", glanced at Shi Zhongyu deeply, and turned to leave. But instead of going in the direction where there were many people, he bypassed the deserted courtyard. Because of his light work, the whole person is like a night owl, mysteriously and elegantly disappearing into the darkness.

Xia Shixiong saw Murong Ke's figure disappear, so he muttered a wry smile, "Your Highness, just forget that day." Old Slave ...... It's good for the old slave to remember. After speaking, he suddenly realized something, and couldn't help glaring at Shi Zhongyu.

He was really drunk, otherwise with his vigilance, how could he ignore the people around him? And an old and mediocre eunuch, his eyes were so sharp and clear, he startled Shi Zhongyu, and hurriedly laughed.

"Xia Lao, you ...... I...... The Lan steward wants me to pick you up. ”

"How did you collide with Yuwang?" Xia Shixiong narrowed his eyes and hid the terrifying essence.

Xia Shixiong saw the scene of Murong Ke connecting his ten fingers with her, but he was afraid that he had misunderstood something. But she didn't mind the misunderstanding at all, because she didn't want to be promoted and raised, she just hoped to do it safely for the past five years, so she simply ignored this, turned her mind a few times and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu came to watch the fire, and when he saw that it was under control, he was about to leave." It happened that the little one came to pick up Xia Lao, and His Royal Highness King Yu called the little one and asked a few words about the fire. ”

Xia Shixiong nodded with satisfaction.

It's a clever one, and he knows what he shouldn't say, such as in the deserted courtyard fire, if His Royal Highness King Yu can't move. He knew Shi Zhongyu because he spoke for him when he was recruiting Jiading, and he saw him several times when he was listening to books in the Deqingju Teahouse. This kid probably wants to get on him and gain a foothold in the house. It's just that His Highness no longer believes in him, he is disheartened and unwilling to get involved in anything anymore, so he pretends not to know. However, this kid also knew the opportunity, and when he saw his obvious refusal, he never came forward to hate it.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, being measured, not confused at critical moments, and being able to let go, he is a good child. It's a coincidence that we met today, right?

"What's your name? Where to be on an errand? He asked.

"The small jade in the stone, listen to the call on the second gate." Shi Zhongyu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, help me through." Xia Shixiong memorized this forgotten name in his heart, and commanded.

When Shi Zhongyu helped Xia Shixiong to the scene of the fire, the fire in Kusiin Temple had been completely controlled. Later, it took more than half a night, and when the sky was dark, the fire was completely extinguished.

Although he didn't do any physical work, Shi Zhongyu was still tired enough. Fortunately, the people involved in the firefighting were allowed to take a day off and go back to sleep. In broad daylight, Shi Zhongyu didn't dare to sleep in the No. 3 courtyard of Jiading, but ran to Lan Wang's house. Of course, it took a lot of trouble to go out of the house, not only was it forcibly sealed, but also the entry and exit were restricted. If she hadn't been on an errand at the second gate, she wouldn't have been able to get out of the house at all.

In fact, she felt that what the palace was doing was very cover-up. Last night's fire destroyed the entire Kusi Temple, how could people outside the palace be unconscious? Covering it and not opening up the news is the hotbed for gossip.

It wasn't until dinner that Lan Wang came back tired, and Lan Wang's family followed him.

"Brother-in-law, how's the situation?" After watching Lan Wang's family and Lan Mei waiting for Lan Wang to freshen up for a while, Shi Zhongyu asked eagerly.

"Kusin Temple is completely ruined." Lan Wang's expression was calm, "Fortunately, except for the deserted courtyard next to it, there is not much loss elsewhere." Moreover, His Highness is about to go to the north, so there is enough time to rebuild Kusei-in. ”

"How much does it cost?" The jade in the stone is painful and authentic. These ruling classes are so hateful, you must know that there are many people in the world who do not have enough to eat.

"The buildings of the palace were made of the finest wood and stone, and the craftsmen and carvers were first-class, and they did require a large sum of silver." Lan Wang still looked unfazed, "Fortunately, Jiusi Yuan never puts valuable antique treasures, and the only book of famous books is also placed in the study room on the other side of the garden." ”

"What's going on?" Shi Zhongyu couldn't help but be curious.

Jiusi Temple is Murong Ke's main courtyard, there are good things, should they be placed there, right? Why build the Treasure Pavilion and Study Elsewhere?

"Don't you know that our Royal Highness King Yu often sets fires for fun?" Lan Wangjia said bluntly.

Shi Zhongyu was very surprised!

It's so perverted, just do nonsense, dare to be okay and still set fire to play at home. What the hell is going on with Murong Ke? Is there a child living in his heart, or is there a devil? However, when I thought of the lonely dead ashes in his eyes last night, I felt that there was a reason for him to do so. Could it be that he was fascinated by his appearance and couldn't help but excuse him?
