Xia Xiaoqiu saw Song Ran running towards the riverside, his expression was also anxious, and he saw a pillar tied to the horse next to him, and hurriedly tied Jiang Lili to it. "Grandpa, I don't have time to clean you up now, so you can stay here first."

Jiang Lili shouted at his back: "You tied me here, what if someone sees me beautiful like a flower and wants to insult me!" ”

Xia Xiaoqiu had already run away, but after listening to her words, she turned back. In Jiang Lili's expectant gaze, he raised his hand knife and slashed at her neck......

This woman is too good at shouting, it would be bad if someone was called to help her loosen her ties, so it would be more reassuring to cut her out.

When the accident first occurred, the explosion carried a scorching wave of air in the face, and the people near the river bank were frightened, fearing that it would harm themselves, and fled in all directions. Seeing that the fire was only spreading in the boat mill in the river, the people on the outer layer crowded inside with the mentality of watching the excitement.

The scene at this time is more than a gibberish word.

The night that had been a peaceful night of singing and dancing was stirred up by this sudden commotion.

The officials stationed nearby also rushed over, busy evacuating the people and preventing a stampede.

There was a little girl with a bun who was supposed to be with her family, but she was dispersed by the crowd, she fell to the ground, crying helplessly, and suddenly a pair of hands picked her up. The man carried her through the crowd, and when he saw a man dressed as an official, he immediately shoved her into the other's arms. Before the official could react, the figure in brocade had already turned around and rushed into the crowd.

Song Ran picked up the people on the inner and outer three floors, and squeezed in the direction of the ferry, losing the brocade clothes on her body, no one dared to complain.

Officers and men have set up barricades in front of the river bank to prevent the crowd of onlookers from obstructing the rescue at the scene, and have also temporarily requisitioned painting boats parked on the shore, and some boatmen are bargaining on the side.

Song Ran was weak, and she was already sweating profusely when she came to the front, and she continued to pant and squeeze forward. There was a big man who looked back viciously: "What a squeeze!" As he spoke, he slapped her the shoulder. The slap made her stagger and fall heavily to the ground, and the black gauze official hat on her head fell to the side. I touched my forehead, and my hands were full of blood.

The others got out of the way, and someone took a breath and whispered, "It's Jin Yilang." ”

"Who pushed it? We're going to be out of luck now. ”

Seeing that he was in trouble, the big man who pushed people also had panic flashing in his eyes, and he hurriedly turned around and fled the scene in a hurry: "Get out of the way......"

Song Ran sat up slowly, picked up the hat that had fallen aside, and put the scattered long hair back in.

The whispers of the people came from the crowd: "I heard that the exploded building ship was specially built by Lord Meng, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, in order to entertain the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Health Division, and today it has also suffered retribution." ”

"It's a good ship, how can you say that it will be blown up?"

"The wicked have their own heaven to reap it, but when I saw a red light falling from the sky, I smashed straight down on the boat, isn't this a heavenly punishment?"

"Red light, why didn't I see it?"

"You must have not noticed."

Song Ran frowned at these rumors, but she didn't have time to care about them, she got up from the ground and walked forward. The people were busy making way for her. Walking to the barricade, the officers and soldiers guarding there raised their hands to stop her, she took out the Tingwei commander card that Xia Xiaoqiu gave her in advance from her waist, and the other party did not dare to slack off, so she hurriedly moved the barricade out of a small opening and let her in.

Song Ran entered inside, grabbed an officer and soldier and asked: "Whose boat was the accident, who is on board, and what are the casualties?" ”

"It's Lord Meng's ship, and the personnel and casualties on board are still being confirmed."

Song Ran's face sank, and he asked again, "Lord Shen is on the boat?" ”

Seeing that she was dressed as Shen Hanxi's attendant, the other party was afraid that she would anger herself, so she replied cautiously: "Lord Shen and Master Meng are on the boat, and we are trying our best to rescue ......."

Song Ran's face was bloodless, and he snatched the torch from his hand: "Lend me one!" ”

She rushed to the riverbank, and there were constantly boats carrying the wounded on the shore, but those who were rescued were all from the small boat farm that was affected by the fire, and the fire in the building boat in the middle of the river was too big, and the boats of the officers and soldiers kept circling around the perimeter and could not get close.

With a small expectation, Song Ran held a torch and shone it on the faces of the injured who were carried to the riverbank. Every time she saw a face, the hope in her heart diminished. Xia Xiaoqiu hurried here and called, "Miss Song! Hearing the familiar voice, her body suddenly softened, but fortunately, he reached out in time to support her, and her voice finally trembled a little: "Lord Xia, my lord, he ...... Will it be ......"

The torch shone on Xia Xiaoqiu's swarthy face, and there was no wavering in his slender eyes: "How many times have adults experienced life and death, how can they be easily buried in such a place." He took the torch from her hand and said, "Miss Song is waiting here, I'll go and see how it goes." ”

He strode over to the official who was directing the scene, scooped up his shirt, and said, "Lord Qi, you are really good if something like this happened in your jurisdiction. Let all your people go to my family, if you can't find it, don't expect to keep your black yarn and the head under the black yarn until tomorrow! He shook his pale face to the side and said, "Why don't you go and prepare a boat for grandpa, grandpa will come to find it himself!" ”

Song Ran withdrew her gaze from Xia Xiaoqiu, she also wanted to follow him on the boat, but thinking that she would follow him in the past, it would only distract him and cause him trouble, so she put away this thought. A feeling of powerlessness struck, and she sat down slowly, hugged her knees, and buried her face in them.

At this time, adults will not have been buried in the belly of the fish.

As soon as the thought came, I was shocked and hurriedly forgot about this thought.

I don't know how long it took, her body was already slightly stiff, and suddenly a voice came with the night wind, which also blew away the magic obstacles in her mind, and blew away the inappropriate thoughts hanging on the tip of her heart.

A painting boat slowly docked, and the gray-robed official who was trembling and waiting there saw the man who was helped down, the whole person was like a new life, and hurriedly greeted him, snorting and tearing: "My Lord Shen, I can find you, and the lower official said that Lord Shen has his own natural appearance......

The other party interrupted his talking: "Master Meng was a little frightened, and he was still lying unconscious inside, so it was only right to send someone to carry him down quickly." ”

The gray-robed official nodded hurriedly and ordered someone to go in and carry him.

Song Ran took two steps towards it, then stopped, staring blankly at the man who was surrounded by everyone. He was drenched all over, his hair was scattered, and he hung all the way to his waist, and his expression was still indifferent. He took the hot tea handed by the person next to him, and after drinking it, he handed it to Xia Xiaoqiu casually, and heard Xia Xiaoqiu remind: "Adult, Miss Song." ”

He looked over at her.

I saw her standing not far away, as before there was no sense of existence, with a trace of trance on her face. Before he could speak, she suddenly ran towards him with her feet raised. He took her into his arms steadily, the corners of his lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak, letting her lie in his arms, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Except for Xia Xiaoqiu, everyone was dumbfounded.

If you are not mistaken, the commander-in-chief of the Tingwei Division, Lord Envoy, is holding a young man at the moment? No wonder there are rumors that he is not close to women, it turns out that he is ...... It's a good south wind!

Shen Hanxi ignored those shocked gazes, waited for the person in her arms to calm down, held her hand in her palm, and said to the dumbfounded gray-robed official beside her, "Do you plan to let this official blow a cool breeze here all the time?" ”

The other party came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan has sent someone to charter an inn, if the adults don't dislike it, please move to the general for a night." ”

Shen Hanxi was noncommittal, and said in a cool voice: "Today's incident is a deliberate murder, go and ask Dali Siqing to come over and let him investigate, if you don't find out, this matter will never be over." ”

The gray-robed official was shocked, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the lower official will go and ask Lord Xu." ”

Shen Hanxi didn't say anything more, took Song Ran's hand and walked towards the inn. Halfway through, he gave Xia Xiaoqiu a look, and he immediately understood, and said, "Don't worry, adults." "In the Jingshi, there are eyes and ears of the Ting Wei Division everywhere, and Xia Xiaoqiu has his own set of methods for transmitting news. The official surnamed Qi couldn't be trusted, and before they arrived at the inn, it was all replaced by the men of the Imperial Guard.

Song Ran unconsciously clenched Shen Hanxi's hand and settled his mind before asking him, "How did the adult escape?" ”

He said: "As soon as I got on the boat, the officer felt that something was wrong. He had always had a keen sense of danger and squinted his eyes and said, "At that time, there were three buildings of almost the same size parked on the water, but the draft was very different. With a sneer, he said, "Now that I think about it, the ship's board is filled with gunpowder saltpeter, and the draft is naturally deeper." ”

Song Ran was shocked: "Saltpeter? ”

Shicai's mind was full of worries about him, but now that she calmed down, her brain began to spin again, she frowned and pondered, and said: "Lou Chuan belongs to Master Meng, and he is also the one who specially invited the adult to Lou Chuan to listen to the play, he has a lot of suspicion, but he should not hate the adult so much that he even counts his own life." But if it weren't for him, who hid saltpeter in the ship? ”

She suddenly remembered something, and suddenly paused: "Lord Xia! ”

Xia Xiaoqiu looked at her confusedly: "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you remember where the old man who accidentally bumped into my horse today came from?"

He didn't know why she mentioned it, but he replied, "You're talking about the old man who doesn't have long eyes?" He came from the direction of the ferry, everyone went to listen to the play, he just wanted to go against the flow of people, panicked, rushed to reincarnate, and hit Miss Song's horse, isn't this looking for death? His eyes suddenly sank, "Do you think there's something wrong with him?" ”

Song Ran's gaze was also slightly cold, and he said, "There is a smell of sulfur on his body." "The old man's appearance is suspicious, maybe it has something to do with it.

Xia Xiaoqiu said: "I immediately sent a letter and asked people to block a radius of 100 miles, dig three feet into the ground, and find him out!" ”

Song Ran nodded, and asked him again, "What about Jiang Lili?" ”

Xia Xiaoqiu patted her head and said, "How did I forget her!" Raising his eyes and seeing the inn close in front of him, he said to Shen Hanxi, "My lord, I will go down to deploy first, you and Miss Song should rest early." ”

Shen Hanxi nodded, let him go, and then looked at the girl beside him: "Have you seen Jiang Lili?" ”

She snorted, her eyebrows almost tangled: "She suddenly appeared here, I always feel that it is not accidental, maybe today's events have something to do with her." What is this woman's idea......

He took advantage of the light of the inn to welcome guests, and saw that her expression was solemn, there were faint blood stains oozing out from under the black gauze hat, and her body was also covered with dust, which was even more embarrassing than him, the person who had survived the catastrophe.

He took her hand and stepped into the door of the inn, and lightly ordered, "Don't think about it. ”

"How could I not want to." She stopped in the atrium and looked up at him, "I almost ...... today I've lost my adult. ”
