Chapter 274: A Chance to Live
It felt so stuffy that it was as if the whole room had been turned into a steamer. She wanted to wake up, but her brain was so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes no matter how hard she tried.
Song Liangchen noticed it earlier than her, and when she heard the strange sound outside, she couldn't wake up, and she struggled for a while, touched the dagger next to the pillow, and slashed her hand with all her might, barely sobering up.
"Beautiful?"
Shen Meijing answered vaguely, was helped up by him, and pinched hard before opening her eyes.
"It's on fire!" Seeing the firelight outside, she gasped, quickly got up and got out of bed, and ran out with Song Liangchen.
The fire that ignited out of nowhere surrounded the entire main house, and as soon as she helped Song Liangchen to run to the center of the main house, the fire had already spread in. The curtains were lit, the wooden furniture was set on fire, and the carved wooden railings that had been hollowed out above the partition smashed down, almost hurting her.
"Go through the window." Song Liangchen shouted in a low voice: "There must be a fire at the door. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he choked on the smoke and coughed non-stop. Meijing took the handkerchief out and gave it to him, and hurriedly pulled him to the window.
Jinyi and Yushi were both awakened, Yushi hugged Tian'er and ran out of the door first, and Jinyi went to the main house with Linfeng Yushu to save people.
"Master!"
The main house is too big, there are many things, it is not so easy to escape when it burns, Meijing found the window, but the windowsill was also full of fire, Song Liangchen couldn't see it, it was too difficult to get out.
"Click-" A voice sounded over her head, and Meijing gasped, and she couldn't care much more, so she directly pushed Song Liangchen out.
The smoke was billowing and choking people so much that they couldn't breathe, and Song Liangchen fell out of the windowsill with fire on his body. Yushu and Linfeng hurriedly went up to help him extinguish it, and Jinyi stood outside the windowsill and shouted: "Master, come out quickly!" β
Meijing covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when Song Liang came to her mind. Most of the candles in his hands were smoky, otherwise how could they sleep so dead and not even wake up from the fire.
Now, her consciousness was drifting away little by little, her hands on the windowsill, burned by the fire, and the pain brought her back to her senses, and she struggled to climb onto the windowsill.
That's when the huge beams slammed down.
"Masterβ"
The miserable shout startled Song Liangye in the Yan Wang's Mansion and frowned.
"What's wrong?" He asked outside.
Pick up the lamp and push the door in, kneel down and say, "Go back to the prince, the back house is on fire." β
How can it catch fire? Song Liangye was stunned, hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, and just wanted to leave the house, but was stopped by General Chang's cronies.
"The general has orders, everything will be said tomorrow." The man said: "It's not dawn yet, it's better not to leave the mansion." β
With frowns, Song Liangye's heart sank: "You want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" β
The man was silent.
After staring blankly at the closed door for a while, Song Liangye sneered, and immediately turned around and walked back, still climbing over the wall, and hurried to the back house.
The fire was fierce, and the people in the back house all fetched water to extinguish the fire, and when Song Liangye entered, the fire was already small.
"What's going on?" He pulled a person next to him to ask.
The subordinate said tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know, the main house is on fire, and there are sounds of fighting, and when we come over, we only see the burning house, and the people inside don't know if it's still there." β
Feeling slightly tight, Song Liangye's face sank: "Put out the fire, send someone in to take a look." β
"Yes."
The main house was doused with oil all around, so it burned quickly. By the time the fire was completely extinguished, the house was almost burning.
Pick up the light and take people in, and after a while, six corpses were moved out.
"Lord Wang."
The six corpses were all charred black, Song Liangye was a little shocked, stared at the corpses silently for a long time, and turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard.
As the sky was about to dawn, General Chang brought someone in, looked at the corpse on the ground, looked at him again, and said, "It's time to succeed to the throne today, congratulations to King Yan." β
With darkness surging in his eyes, Song Liangye looked at him, hooked his lips and smiled.
"General Chang really has a heart."
"The prince doesn't have to say thank you." General Chang said with a smile: "There are lowly duties here to clean up, the prince should go back to the palace to prepare first." β
Song Liangchen had to die, if he was still alive, there were infinite possibilities. Just like Song Liangye, as long as you don't die, you can turn the tables. The emperor is the most thoughtful, the weather is dry, Song Liangchen was buried in the fire, and no one can say that the royal family is ruthless. The rebellion was not executed, which already shows the bearing of the royal family.
That's the best ending.
Song Liangye closed his eyes, turned around and walked out: "General Chang is very kind, Liangye will definitely remember it." β
This was a word of thanks, but for some reason, he felt a chill behind his back and couldn't help but look back at him.
Song Liangye, who was dressed in a vermilion robe, walked without the slightest hesitation, with a straight back, quite the royal style of the Song family.
Shaking his head, General Chang thought, it should be that he was too worried.
Looking back at the six corpses on display on the ground, he asked the person next to him, "The mission is complete, why haven't the people who performed the task come back yet?" β
The cronies' faces were a little unpleasant, and they glanced at the charred corpse on the ground, and said, "General, do you think this corpse... It's not like Song Liangchen and others? β
General Chang was stunned for a moment, squinted and looked at it carefully, and his face changed suddenly: "Send someone to chase me!" β
"Yes!"
These six corpses can be seen by looking at the shape, they are clearly all men, and there is no woman who does not say, what about the baby? The baby didn't see it either!
What a Song Liangchen! He was blinded!
The sun was rising, and Shen Shanshui was driving a carriage on the path. In the carriage, Meijing bandaged Song Liangchen with a white face.
He had a long cut on his arm, and blood flowed.
When the burned beams fell, Shen Meijing jumped out of the windowsill, but fell unconscious in the courtyard. Jinyi shouted and was about to go over to help her, but saw several black-clothed people suddenly pop out next to her, with bright swords, and slashed at them without saying anything.
Linfeng protected the brocade clothes, Yushu went to protect Shen Meijing, Song Liangchen fought with the black-clothed people with just his ear power, and the six black-clothed people on the opposite side, but two of the five people on their side did not know martial arts, Song Liangchen couldn't see it, so he was naturally at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, even if Shen Shanshui rushed over, saved them from fire and water, and sent the man in black into the fire, not to mention, he also prepared a carriage and took them out.
Yu Shi and the little young master are also safe for the time being, and now as long as they can avoid being caught up and escape from Yan Land smoothly, they will be safe and sound.
"Fortunately, I was smart and noticed that something was wrong." Shen Shanshui's face was not very good-looking, and he said to Yushu next to him while riding a horse: "When they were storing oil in the backyard, they said that there was a problem, so I was prepared early, but fortunately I listened to her." β
There was a sudden disaster at the birthday banquet, and Cheng Beiwang and others stayed up all night thinking about it. He and Gu Xiurong didn't leave the palace, and General Chang was planning to kill Song Liangchen's mouth, and he didn't have time to take care of them, so they all had a chance to escape.
