Chapter 838: Imitation
Smoke billows from the fires from the wooden buildings lining the streets, and the portable shrines in the streets are also made of log. The sedan chair driver threw away the sedan chair and fled in a hurry, but because of the dense crowd, there were too many people who fled, and he couldn't find the exit at all. The dancers fell off the sedan chair and were trampled or even trampled to death by the fleeing, and their bodies were set on fire, burning those who were injured and unable to move. The streets turned into a sea of fire, Les Made's turned into a tragedy, the fire was too big, there were too many people, and there was no way to organize the fire to extinguish it in the first place, and the survivors could only watch the fire burn more and more.
Wailing and screaming continued, Huo Wu poked his head out and looked down for a moment, then turned to Chenguang and said:
"Your Highness, the fire is burning."
It is not surprising that it burns quickly because it is one of the most beautiful and gorgeous wooden buildings in the city, and it is very close to the fire.
Chenguang looked directly at the chaos downstairs, and said slowly: "Even if you can avoid this fire, you can't hide from the people below, and you will be trampled into a cake now." ”
"Now is not the time to laugh." Shen Run said helplessly.
Chenguang looked at him with a calm face: "Where do I seem to be joking?" ”
"Anyway, let's avoid it first, even if it hasn't burned to the third floor, the smoke will come up after a while, and your body can't stand it."
"Smoke has come up." Chenguang said.
Shen Run didn't say anything, his hand hooked her waist, climbed up the window, and jumped onto the roof. Fu Li and Fire Dance followed.
Chenguang took Shen Run's arm and stood on the roof, the wind and the night of the fire were very noisy, she looked into the distance, and saw that the people who put out the fire had been assembled, just at the corner of the street, but because all the people who survived the escape were crowded around the street, the fire team could not enter for a while, so they could only help the officers and soldiers evacuate the crowd at the corner of the street.
Chenguang retracted her gaze and looked at her feet, there were many charred corpses on a miserable street, she couldn't tell which one the corpse of Pink Butterfly's mother and daughter was, because there were also children in the charred corpses, and the small body was half burned, and half was left, and it was the first half that was burned, so she could only judge from the tiger head shoes that it should be a little boy.
It turned out that I was not a madman, and she thought to herself indifferently, I could not do it to blow myself up in order to set a fire to some people, and make it impossible for outsiders to understand what the purpose of this was.
Is that girl really her own daughter, Chenguang thought suspiciously.
Maybe yes.
There are always people who think that the "meat" comes out of their stomachs, and they can do whatever they want with it, and then stuff it back.
It turns out that I'm not a crazy person, Chenguang thought, compared to people who are really crazy, I am normal.
"Your Highness." Fire Dance spoke softly suddenly, motioning for her to look across the side.
Chenguang was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of her gaze, opposite a two-story teahouse, the window of the box was open, and three or two women poked their heads out of the window, their faces full of panic. Several women are all jewels, gorgeous skirts and shirts, and one of them has already screamed, and she recognizes the person who poked her head out first, and she has seen it during the day, it is Princess Leyang.
Chenguang flattened his lips, this Princess Leyang has been like a demon since she came back from Luzhang Island, and she has completely changed into a person. I heard that she used to be gentle and virtuous, and the days of marrying Yicheng were not short, and she really didn't go out when the Regent's Mansion forbade her to go out, but now she is trying every means to run out. During the day, there were two ladies who followed these women together, and it was obvious that the ladies who had a good family did not dare to go back too late, and only these few who dared not to go home ran to the teahouse to watch the flower god show.
It seems that Yan Ying didn't save her that time, and she was completely annoyed, and the little sheep was about to transform into a tigress, and if it went on like this, Princess Leyang, who was dissatisfied with her husband and had nowhere to vent, would soon take risks because she couldn't appease the resentment in her heart because of wanton fun, such as finding an obedient and docile man and wearing a big green hat for Yan Ying.
Maybe one day, a cheap son will suddenly pop up in Yan Ying's place and call him "father".
Chenguang imagined that image and laughed out loud.
obviously has nothing to do with her, but she feels inexplicably happy.
Shen Run thought she was happy because the street was on fire, and glanced at her, wondering if she was crazy.
On the other side, Princess Leyang panicked and anxious, the teahouse only had two floors, and the first floor was completely caught in flames, and it seemed that it was going to burn up soon. Chun Tao was so anxious next to her that her eyes were full of tears.
The two girls who followed her were the daughters of the nobles of Yicheng, although they brought Suihu, but Suihu had been waiting downstairs, chaotic in the fire, and they didn't know where they had gone. And herself, her dowry guard was sent away not long after she got married, and she didn't know where to go, and Yan Ying didn't even give her a reason.
This time she didn't come out openly, taking advantage of Yan Ying's absence, she only brought a few old servants who were usually around, and asked Yan Zhong to let her out under the pretext of visiting the county lord of Qingping.
Yan Ying wanted to take King Yingwu for her own use, but King Yingwu has always been separated from Yan Ying by a wall of hearts, Yan Zhong knows Yan Ying's thoughts, that old guy dares to assert himself, I heard that she wants to help, and she is touted by her, so naturally she will not object to her to visit the county lord of Qingping.
She went to see the county lord of Qingping, and then came to participate in the outing that she had promised a long time ago.
Yan Ying's death in Luzhang Island completely chilled her heart, and she had been thinking about how to keep herself alive in Yicheng and in this only transactional harmony, and then she suddenly remembered Princess Chenguang of Feng Mingguo, she had heard many rumors about Princess Chenguang a long time ago.
Princess Chenguang was also a princess back then, marrying from a small barbaric country into the prosperous and xenophobic Longxi Kingdom, Princess Chenguang's situation at that time was not as good as her, after all, she was born in a big country, and the person said that she was a princess, but in fact, she was the daughter of a clan leader.
But Princess Chenguang has changed from a lowly princess to a phoenix lord who can now cover the sky with one hand.
She struggled to recall the rumored process of Princess Chenguang's seizure of power, and the first step was to quickly integrate into the aristocratic circle of Qi'an, and become a woman who everyone praised and everyone wanted to invite her to be a guest.
She understands the significance of Princess Chenguang's doing this, firstly, when many invitations come to the door, even if her husband is unwilling, he can't refuse them all, sooner or later he will agree to her to enter the social circle, even if he agrees reluctantly, it is also consent. When she really enters the aristocratic circle, what she increases is her connections, what she gets is freedom, and the information will no longer be blocked, and once she encounters something, there will be people who can discuss and inquire, unlike before when she spent days in the inner courtyard every day, as if she was waiting to die.
Moreover, if the first one is done well, when she is like a fish in water in the aristocratic circle of Yicheng, she will naturally become her husband's arm next. Their relationship was originally a partnership, and now she no longer longs for the love between husband and wife, as long as she lives better, it is clear that she can live better than useless, and she can be indispensable and useful.
For this, she came out today to participate in the flower feast, for which she spent a lot of money to envelop the old servants in the house, she wanted to practice the first step, accumulate her own contacts, accumulate more important invitations, she hopes that in the near future she can receive many invitations every year like the noblewomen of Cangqiu country, and then go out to the banquet alone, maneuver around, and make herself useful.
I didn't expect an accident to happen in the first practice.
The old servant who followed her was not as good as the entourage of others, and if such a big thing happened, she ran away, and in the eyes of the people in the Regent's Mansion, she was not a serious master at all, and they would not be loyal to her.
Princess Leyang was almost desperate, her eyes were red, and billowing smoke rushed up, choking her tears. She looked up, trying to let the tears clear of her own accord, and in her eyes, she saw the figure on the roof opposite, even in the smoke and fire.
