CHAPTER XIII

Soon, Shen Xuan caught two pheasants and came back, Ah Zheng saw that there were already four or five fish, so he put down the fishing rod and began to clean up the fish, and also asked Shen Xuan to clean up the pheasants. Shu Yu waited for the fish to be cleaned up, Ah Zheng started to light the fire, Chu Yangcheng was born in the end, and these things were completely out of his hands. I couldn't help but sigh: "I always thought that you were a dignified prince of the palace, even if you didn't come to Yilai to reach out for food to open your mouth, you were served since you were a child, but I didn't expect you to know anything." ”

Ah Zheng smiled and said: "It's not a difficult thing, I taught her to light a fire in the past, and before I returned to Beijing, I was just a child of an ordinary family." But it's also a good thing, when you go out on the march, you can meet any situation, there will be more, it's always good. ”

"You're right, I'll only have to eat dry food when I go out. Chu Yangcheng agreed with Ah Zheng's statement, and unconsciously, the relationship between the two was much closer.

After a simple dinner, the four of them returned to the capital the same way, and when they were about to arrive in the capital, Ah Zheng looked at the fire in the distance, provoked a smile and said: "Sure enough, I can't hold my breath, let's go, let's catch a few mice!"

Chu Yangcheng raised his eyes and looked at the direction of Vermilion Bird Street in the city, looking at the appearance of the fire, he was afraid that the fire was not small, and he was afraid that it would cause chaos, so he couldn't help frowning.

Ah Zheng seemed to see Chu Yangcheng's thoughts, and said lightly: "Father has already prepared, there shouldn't be any big problems, let's go, go over and take a look." ”

"You deliberately took me out of the city, just to give them a chance?" Chu Yangcheng was not stupid, and quickly thought of the crux of the problem.

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "I guess you have roughly found out where the other party is, and they should have been forced by you to jump off the wall." Yang Cheng, it's good to get to the bottom of it, but remember, the dog will jump off the wall when he's in a hurry, if they come to a fish and die and the net is broken, it's not worth it to destroy the enemy 10,000 and lose 8,000. ”

was broken by a zheng, Chu Yangcheng lowered her eyes slightly, her hands clenched into fists, she didn't know this, but thinking of her brother's death, she couldn't calm down, so she chased after her when she found a clue. Ah Zheng is right, if she continues to force it, the other party may really jump off the wall in a hurry, and even if she can get the truth, I am afraid that her strength will be greatly damaged. "Why are you helping me?" Chu Yangcheng asked, looking at Ah Zheng.

Ah Zheng rode in front without looking back, and said, "Because it's you!"

Chu Yangcheng was stunned for a while, and then said, "The prince is joking." ”

Ah Zheng didn't look back, his voice was a little blurred in the night breeze, and said, "Is it a joke in your opinion? If you think so, it's a joke!"

Before Chu Yangcheng had time to think carefully about the meaning of Ah Zheng's words, the four of them had already rushed to Suzaku Street, the fire was very big, and there were Praetorian Guards maintaining order and busy fighting the fire. And Murong Yunqiao, the Marquis of Dingbei, who was in charge of the guards in the capital, stood outside the fire, looking at the fire and frowning.

Ah Zheng and Chu Yangcheng walked to Murong Yunqiao's side, and Ah Zheng spoke first: "Uncle, what's the situation here?"

Murong Yunqiao saw that Ah Zheng was coming, his frowning brows loosened a little, and said to Ah Zheng: "You came back just in time, your father went into the fire, it's been almost half an hour, and he hasn't come out yet, I'm worried that something will happen to him, and he can't go away." You watch here, I'll go inside and see. As he spoke, he went inside.

Ah Zheng hurriedly grabbed Murong Yunqiao, and heard that his father had not come out for almost half an hour, Ah Zheng was also very worried, but he couldn't let Murong Yunqiao take the risk, so he stopped: "Uncle is waiting here, I'll go in to find my father!"

"Ah Zheng!" Murong Yunqiao wanted to stop Ah Zheng, but he passed Ah Zheng as fast as possible, so he had to watch Ah Zheng's figure disappear into the fire. At this time, the fire was already much weaker, but there were countless hidden dangers in the burned houses and shops, Murong Yunqiao was worried, but there was nothing to be done.

Chu Yangcheng saw Ah Zheng rushing into the fire, his heart suddenly tightened, and he asked Murong Yunqiao: "Master Hou, why did Prince An enter the fire?" People are always obsessed with the authorities, just like Chu Yangcheng will desperately force the other party into a desperate situation, and Ah Zheng doesn't even ask about the cause and effect, and just rushes inside.

"Hey, before I could say anything, this kid went inside. After the fire, my third brother and I rushed over, but it didn't take long for someone to send a letter, saying that Jinnian was in their hands, and if Jinnian was safe, they asked the third brother to go to the fire alone to meet them. The third brother was worried about Jinnian, and he couldn't take too much care of it, so he rushed in. ”

"They said, "You believed?" Chu Yangcheng asked.

"If you just say it, the third brother is not such an impulsive person, but along with the letter, there is also Jinnian's jade pendant, which was given to Jinnian by Jinnian's grandfather, Prince Yue, and has never left his body. Murong Yunqiao explained.

Chu Yangcheng frowned and said, "Listen to the rain, go back and ask Tingshuang to bring someone to come and pick it up, and I'll go in and have a look." So saying, he went inside. Murong Yunqiao hurriedly grabbed Chu Yangcheng and said, "Yangcheng, why are you messing around? How can that fire be a place to break indiscriminately!" Murong Yunqiao only knew that Chu Yangcheng was the head of civil officials, and he didn't know that Chu Yangcheng was still a person with strong martial arts.

"Uncle Cousin don't worry, it's too dangerous for Xu Zheng to rush in regardless of it, Yang Cheng goes in, at least he is more rational than him, even if he can't find Prince An, at least if necessary, you can bring Xu Zheng out, besides, I have already called someone to come over to answer, and it will be fine." Chu Yangcheng said, "Did the letter say where to find Princess Yuehua for Prince An?"

Murong Yunqiao knew that Chu Yangcheng was a stable person, so it made sense, so he said: "The letter said that Jinnian is in Mingyuezhai, which is the place where the fire is the greatest, Yangcheng, you are a literati after all, so you will wait outside, and I will go in to find them." ”

Where would Chu Yangcheng let Murong Yunqiao in, knowing that Ouyang Xuzheng had just broken in, Murong Yunqiao would definitely stop her directly, but fortunately, Murong Yunqiao didn't know that she knew martial arts, and without waiting for Murong Yunqiao to react, he shot at Murong Yunqiao's acupoint and broke into the fire.

Chu Yangcheng is also familiar with Vermilion Bird Street, and went straight to the Mingyue Zhai mentioned by Murong Yunqiao, Ah Zheng came in earlier than him, and it was already difficult to find him, so it was better to find Shen Yanling and Jin Nian first. Mingyuezhai is a time-honored dim sum shop in Beijing, Chu Yangcheng's mother likes Mingyuezhai's dim sum very much, and often asks Chu Yangcheng to buy it back for her, and Chu Yangcheng will most of them come in person, and he is also a frequent visitor to Mingyuezhai.

Without much effort, Chu Yangcheng came to Mingyue Zhai. This is the center of today's fire on Suzaku Street, Chu Yangcheng can't see the original appearance at all, but as Ah Zheng said, they have been prepared, although the fire is very large, and there are many houses and shops that have been burned, but they have not seen anyone burned to death along the way.

Although he had martial arts to protect himself, Chu Yangcheng still felt the scorching heat in the fire and the choking of the fire smoke, but fortunately, the fire had gradually weakened at this time, and Chu Yangcheng's sleeve was in front of the fire smoke and dust, looking for someone in the ruins.

Chu Yangcheng is a smart person, and immediately thought that since the other party used Ouyang Jinnian to lead Shen Yanling into the fire, the purpose should not be to let Shen Yanling and Ah Zheng come in and send them to death, then, this Mingyuezhai should have a secret passage or secret room. Therefore, Chu Yangcheng stood in the ruins of Mingyuezhai and observed where there might be a secret passage. Probably too focused, Chu Yangcheng didn't notice a fallen beam.

"Be careful!" Chu Yangcheng heard Ah Zheng's cry, and then he was thrown and rolled on the burning ground. Chu Yangcheng instinctively closed his eyes, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome face enlarged in front of him, which was a Zheng with an angry face.

"Ahem, ahem, what are you doing here, don't you know it's dangerous?" Ah Zheng inhaled a lot of smoke and coughed heavily twice before scolding.

Chu Yangcheng pushed Ah Zheng away and sat up, glanced at Ah Zheng, although he looked a little embarrassed, he was not injured, and then said: "I just thought it was strange, I guessed that there should be some secret passage or secret room in this Mingyue Zhai, so I came in to explore." As he spoke, he stood up and continued to check the Mingyue Zhai, which was about to burn out.

"I thought you were worried about me!" Behind Chu Yangcheng, Ah Zheng sighed leisurely.

Hearing Ah Zheng say such words, Chu Yangcheng's body stiffened, and she didn't know how to answer, she didn't deliberately hide the identity of the woman when she walked the rivers and lakes, with Ouyang Xuzheng being so smart, since she could find out that she was the owner of the Wind Listening Building, she was afraid that she had already discovered her daughter's body, but she didn't dare to continue to think about it, and desperately told herself that she could only be Chu Yangcheng, the youngest prime minister of Jinlong.

Ah Zheng saw Chu Yangcheng's body stiffen, knowing that his words had worked, and he no longer stimulated Chu Yangcheng's turtle shell behavior, and carefully observed this place with Chu Yangcheng. He heard Shen Yanling enter the fire, and he didn't have time to think about it before he broke in, only to find that he had broken in without a purpose, and just as he was about to go back to ask Murong Yunqiao, he saw Chu Yangcheng break into the fire and go straight to this side. Ah Zheng knew that in this case, Chu Yangcheng must be much calmer than himself, and everything that should be asked should have been asked clearly, so he followed Chu Yangcheng over.

The two of them turned around inside, and the smoke was so thick that they could barely open their eyes, Ah Zheng looked at Chu Yangcheng and said, "You go out first, it's too dangerous here!"

Chu Yangcheng frowned, intellectually she shouldn't have taken risks here at this time, but she knew that she would definitely not be able to persuade Ah Zheng to leave, although she was not so great as to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman, but for some reason, she just couldn't leave Ah Zheng alone.

Ah Zheng saw that Chu Yangcheng did not move, and said angrily: "Are you stupid? Get out, I'm looking for my father, what do you have to do with you, what do you want to find out later, there will be opportunities in the future, why risk it here!"

Chu Yangcheng glanced at Ah Zheng sideways, "If the roles of the two of us are reversed today, will you accompany me?"

Ah Zheng was stunned and said, "I will accompany you." ”

"Then why do you want me to go!" Chu Yangcheng smiled, and walked to the corner of the wall without believing in evil, as if he had the intention of touching several walls.
