On November 17, the sky was overcast and the wind was cold. It looks like it's going to snow.

This day is also the day of Bai Qianqian's burial, expedient waiting at the corner of the street outside the 100 yuan mansion, the carriage is confined, leaving only the coachman outside, expedient through the curtain of the car, to the outside of the house.

Although the marriage between Shen Xuzhi and Bai Qianqian was not counted, the emperor gave an order to let Bai Qianqian be buried as Shen Xuzhi's concubine. So according to the situation, Shen Xuzhi also went to the Yuanwaifang Mansion to offer condolences, and by the way, he gave a generous gift for Quan Yi.

Expedient lowered the curtain and ordered: "Let's go, go to Wanke to have a cup of tea to warm up." ”

The groom got the order, turned the horse's head, and left the corner when Bai Yuanwaifu came out carrying Bai Qianqian's coffin.

In the car, Xiaohe looked at the expedient who was not very interested, since the birthday banquet of the Hou Ye, the expedient has been frowning, she wanted to persuade but felt that her words were insignificant.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the streets were much quieter than usual because of the weather, except for the creaking of wheels.

The car stopped at Wankelai, Xiaohe went out and got off the carriage first, and Quan Yiyi helped her men to get out of the car, and the people on the street wrapped their clothes tightly and passed by quickly with their heads down.

The wind seemed to be a little lighter, and the horizon in the distance seemed to have an opening, and the light came through the hole, and Xiaohe reached out to put on the expedient cloak and hat.

Entering the back room, there seemed to be more and more guests coming to Wanke, probably it was really cold outside, and everyone ran into Wankelai to ward off the cold.

Hua Xiaoliu was checking the account book at the account desk, and Xiao Er next to her touched her with his arm: "Boss, the princess is here!" ”

Hua Xiaoliu looked up and saw the two people at the door, put down his things, and asked Xiao Er to help take care of them.

"Princess ......"

Quan Yi shook his head at her, and Xiao Liu reacted and was silent. "Is there still a wing? Come to you with a cup of hot tea! ”

Hua Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed, looked at the second floor, and lowered his voice: "Princess, the private rooms are all wrapped, and the master is in the original room, do you want to go and see?" ”

Quan Yiyi forgot about the room on the day of the birthday banquet, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Forget it, I probably don't want to see me, you should be busy first, I still have to go to the West Market to buy osmanthus cakes for the concubine." ”

Hua Xiaoliu stretched out her hand to hold her, but the expedient attitude was tough, she was not good at persuading, but she muttered in her heart, these two people are more difficult than anyone else, and they are both strong, and they are unwilling to let go of their principles, but they don't know that this will only push themselves farther and farther.

She was thinking about going up and telling Ji Fu, when a little girl happened to pass by with the wine that Ji Fu wanted, she reached out and took it, "I'll come, you go get busy!" ”

The little guy nodded and turned back, and Hua Xiaoliu went up to the second floor with the wine.

"Princess, I've met with Hou Ye, why did you run away!" The little lotus gang squeezed his leg and asked with some pity.

Quan Yi's eyes sank, thinking of the birthday banquet that day, obviously he wanted to congratulate him on his birthday, not only called the brother who was opposed, but also opposed him everywhere and quarreled with him, Ji Fu is an arrogant person, she must be uncomfortable, she hasn't figured out how to face Ji Fu.

"It's not early, let's go back first, oh, remember to go to the West Market around the corner to get the things from the concubine." Justigna gave the order, then stopped talking, opened the curtain and looked out the window, and the cold wind poured into her neck along the collar and she didn't feel it.

"You said she was here?" Ji Fu looked back at Hua Xiaoliu.

The latter nodded, thinking that there was hope, but who expected that the next moment, Ji Fu sneered, and was extremely disdainful: "What about people? I know I don't want to see her go! ”

Hua Xiaoliu shook his head frantically in his heart, the hard-mouthed master was obviously worried, and his mouth was not unpleasant, "Master, the princess is still young after all, and it is normal for some little girls to be willful, so you can't be more tolerant." ”

"She's very tight, so I need to tolerate it, and it's okay to leave, so as not to disturb me drinking." Ji Fu continued to be stubborn, and Hua Xiaoliu saw that persuasion was fruitless, so he could only retreat.

When he was about to close the door, Ji Fu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Do you know where she went?" ”

Hua Xiaoliu's face was overjoyed, "It should be Yunji pastries in the West Market, help the concubine buy pastries." ”

Ji Fu waved his hand, a little absent-minded.

There is a high-rise building in the West Market, called the West Corner Tower, as the name suggests, standing on the highest ground is convenient to experience an unobstructed view, although it is not as high as the palace station, to the farthest away, you can also look into the capital here (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 67: I don't know if I'm alive or dead

of the capital.

The street corner has been a hawker selling sugar gourds and children's toys, the two eyes met, by the quick departure, the street selling treasure hawker looked up at the restaurant not far away, the noble son inside a leather carved jacket, overlooking a crowd of people, the eyes are fierce and full of confidence.

The expedient carriage stopped at the corner of the street, this small alley is relatively narrow, usually a little more people will be blocked, let alone the carriage, I am afraid that they will not be able to sell osmanthus cake if they wait for a day.

The master and servant walked through the alley and stood at the door of Yunji pastry, Xiaohe pulled the silver and stepped up the steps, the people inside were overjoyed to see her, Xiaohe has been here several times and has become a frequent visitor here, this son is the son of the shopkeeper of Yunji, naturally he also remembers the appearance of inviting Xiaohe, his eyes are shining, and he told Xiaohe to hurry up and pack Xiaohe. It's all done

Xiaohe was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, and ran out after giving the money, and the son of Yunji chased him out with the silver money, and saw that there was a luxuriously dressed and extraordinary temperament beside Xiaohe, and everyone was beautiful with a smile and a smile, and raised his hand to salute the expediency. He turned his head again and handed the silver money to Xiaohe, smiling like a spring breeze.

The expedient looked at Xiaohe's awkward appearance, and then looked at the eyes of the son in front of him, and seemed to understand a little,

She looked at the people in front of her carefully, Yun Ji Gongzi was extremely tall, quite a little clear-eyed, and bowed when he saw the expediency, which was extremely thoughtful. She heard that on this year's top list, this son of the Yun family is Tanhualang, and he should be on duty in the academy now.

She nodded with satisfaction and left with Xiaohe.

got into the carriage, Xiaohe lowered his head with red ears and didn't speak, and he had a joke in his mind, "The son of Yunji is a good one, who understands etiquette, it is said that he is a Tanhualang for several years and this year, and he works in the academy, and his conduct should not be bad, but I still have to investigate." ”

Xiaohe seemed to have been debunked by someone, and asked hesitantly: "Yun Gongzi is Tanhualang, is there a problem with where he is on duty?" Why did the princess say this to the slave? ”

Justifying showed a sly look, and was just about to speak, when the carriage shook violently, and then the bright yellow fire flickered outside the curtain, and there was a restlessness outside, accompanied by people's cries for help.

Convenience stabilized his body, opened the curtains, and saw that the groom was already dead in the car, staring at his eyes, his body was as black as burned, Xiaohe screamed, and pulled Expedient out of the car.

The crowd was in a hurry, someone was knocked to the ground, and before he could get up, he was hit by the oil behind him, and the house in front of him was on fire, and the fire was extremely fast, spreading rapidly like a tongue of fire.

The two of them followed the cover of the carriage and pushed it aside, and the originally gray sky was red against the vast fire.

Expedient took Xiaohe's hand and forced himself to compose, "Let's go, let's go this way!" ”

She pulled Xiaohe to run behind her, and before the two of them had run a few steps, there was a scream in front of them again, only to see a few fireballs flying from the sky and drawing a fox fairy from the sky, which landed on several rooftops in front of expediency.

Expedient looked in the direction where the fireball was flying, it was the direction of the West Corner Tower, was someone deliberately rushing to her?

Xiaohe was frightened a lot, and pulled the expedient to leave, but after looking for a long time, they didn't see an exit, the fire spread, and they were blocked here.

For a while, the wailing continued, the crying of women, the cries of children and the helpless cries of men, expediency's eyes were red, she knew that she could not sit still, she could not die here, and neither could these people.

Let go of Xiaohe's hand, pulled the face that was scattered on the ground, scooped up the ice water in the tank of the unknown person on the street, soaked the face, draped it on Xiaohe's body, and got a piece for herself.

Expedient asked people to squat and let people run out to the place where the fire was not too big, and she pulled Xiaohe to guide the crowd.

The crowd ran all the way forward, the fire had not yet spread to say goodbye to the street, and after two turns, the crowd seemed to see hope. However, a group of officers and soldiers in armor suddenly appeared, ruthlessly closed the gate of the West Market, and put an end to them.

Everyone ran to the door, pounding the door frantically, but did not see the people inside responding, helpless, desperate expressions of emotion surged into their hearts again, looking at the approaching fire, everyone collapsed on the ground in despair, and ran all the way (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 67: I don't know if I'm alive or dead

After that, he still didn't escape.

"Princess, what to do, princess!" Xiaohe shook his expedient arm excitedly, and his heart began to collapse.

Expedient looked at the fire behind her, the wail in her ears, the tears in her right eye unconsciously, and the pain made her unable to make a sound.

If you do it all over again, you can't escape your fate? After calculating for so long and working hard for so long, in the end she still had nothing, and she didn't have time to apologize to Ji Fu yet......

In the attic, a few men wearing gold armor and combing whips suddenly appeared, and the men who took the lead had a deep scar on the right side of their faces, and several people looked down and looked at the desperate people playfully.

Expedient frowned, and the scar man who listened to the head used his not very fluent Central Plains dialect to scornfully look at everyone: "Everyone, today's dazzle is quite satisfying!" ”

The originally desperate crowd began to be restless again, and when they looked up at the people in the attic, some boldly stood up and cursed directly: "Who are you, this is the capital, and I can't help you people from the outside world to speak......"

There was a scream in the air, and the man who had just spoken boldly fell to the ground with an arrow in his chest, and there was another scream around him, and no one dared to speak again.

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, the man held on to the railing and said loudly, "Originally, you didn't have to suffer all this, if you want to blame the bride of Shuo Fenghou, that is, your seventh princess is inside, I don't share the sky with Shuo Fenghou, if you take the initiative to identify who is the seventh princess today, I will immediately open the door for you, if not, you will die with her!" ”

Expedient's eyes were stunned, she thought it was just a bureau set up by someone in the palace to deal with her, but she didn't want Ji Fu to be involved, and Xiaohe on the side was even more shocked, pulling Expediency's arm to reduce her sense of presence as much as possible.

Knowing that he was still saved, everyone parted in twos and threes, looking at the others to find the seventh princess.

"Who is the Seventh Princess, you have a lot to save us!" The crowd shouted for help.

Suddenly, the woman next to Quan Yi suddenly shouted, pointing at her, "She is the Seventh Princess, I just heard her maid call her princess, it must be her!" ”

Expedient didn't expect Xiaohe's negligence to be heard, and after the woman finished speaking, everyone looked at her, either hating or pleading, and a pitiful and helpless look crashed into Expedien's eyes.

Xiaohe stepped forward and stood in front of Quan: "What do you want to do?" ”

An old woman with her grandson trembling and running to the expediency, knelt down, and prayed helplessly for the expediency: "Seventh princess, it's okay if I'm old and immortal, but look at this child is still so young, the old woman begs you to save us!" Your great kindness and kindness, we will never forget it! ”

As she spoke, she kowtowed to her little grandson, and the child did not know what was happening, and he did what the grandmother said.

The scarred man in the attic laughed mockingly with his subordinates, the voice was harsh and ugly, and said disdainfully: "I think most of them are people who understand righteousness, begging others to die for their own lives, but that's it!" ”

"However, I don't want to let anyone go now, I want to see what the smell of this roasted human flesh is, come on, continue to set fires!" The scar man snorted.

The group of expedient seekers became frightened again, and pointed out that the expedient woman went mad, "Didn't you say that if you find the princess, you will let us go?" ”

The scar man snorted defiantly, "I didn't say I'd let you out now!" ”

"Long time no see, Lin Sui, why do you still not know life and death so much!" Suddenly, a terrifying male voice sounded in the air, and the man followed the voice. Expedient's eyes lit up and his heart was relieved.
