As the words fell, there was another flash of lightning in the air.

The electric light brightened Li Shao's face, showing his eagerness and worry in front of people.

Wang Gouzi heard the movement and came from the side hall in a hurry, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

The rain was heavy and thunderous, he only knew that there was something going on in the flower hall at first, and he didn't know the specific reason, but at this time, when he saw Li Shao's complexion, he said "not good".

"Your Highness, Your Highness," Wang Gouzi called out twice in a hurry, "What's the matter?"

Xu Bai's gaze turned around several people, and when he saw that Xu Jian didn't stop him, he said, "There is a lightning strike that has landed in the hidden mansion."

Wang Gouzi said "oops", and subconsciously said, "Didn't hurt anyone, right?"

"I'm going to take a look," Li Shao said, "You hurry up and prepare the carriage and horses."

Wang Gouzi's heart trembled.

It happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to discern it in detail, but he instinctively felt that he couldn't let His Highness go on such a trip.

"You don't have to worry," Wang Gouzi licked his lower lip, ignoring his puffing heartbeat, and tried to calm his tone as much as possible, "The rain is so heavy, and I don't know the specific situation, can you wait here for a while, and let Fu Guogong send someone to inquire again?"

The more Wang Gouzi didn't want to be in a hurry, the more anxious Xu Bai was on the side.

"Didn't you just come back from inquiring," Xu Bai rubbed his hands, his voice trembling a little, "It's smoking in the house!"

Wang Gouzi asked, "Have you informed the government?"

"There are ordinary people who have gone," Xu Bai said, "but after all, it is the Qianfu, whether it is the Shuntian Mansion or the garrison yamen, it is easy not to dare to break in."

Wang Gouzi had a toothache when he heard it.

A house that has long been uninhabited, and it is smoking, not to mention the people of the yamen, it makes sense for the neighbors to climb over the wall to check the situation.

In the unlikely event that the rescue is too late and the situation deteriorates, it will affect an entire street.

But it is a hidden mansion, and the government is bound to be more restrained in doing things.

"Your Royal Highness," Wang Gouzi had no time to distinguish the inside story, and at the moment he only had a countermeasure in his mind, and said in a hurry, "You are afraid that the yamen will not be able to do things, so it is better to let the people of the Guogong Mansion take your waist card to guide the way to the government, you go by yourself, it is too dangerous."

Li Shao hesitated slightly.

On the side, Lin Yunyan, who had not spoken for a while, explained to Xu Bai: "Hurry up and bring some rain gear."

After speaking, he took a cloak from the shelf next to the door and gave it to Xu Jian, and he also took a drooping eye tie.

"No matter what, it's so close, how can you not go and take a look?" She glanced at Li Shao and said, "Don't delay, say slowly on the road, if Your Highness doesn't go in, you will be in the carriage, and the official yamen will see you, whether you have a waist card or not, whether you lead the way or not, it's the same."

Li Shao wanted to go, but when he heard Lin Yunyan say this, he didn't object, and he didn't want to delay his work, so he urged the dog again.

Wang Gouzi thought about it, it was really inappropriate to stalemate.

On the way, he pondered again, and if he noticed that something was wrong, he would let His Highness stay in the car.

The carriage left the house, the rain was light, but the lightning and thunder did not stop, and it sounded quite bluffing.

Li Shao sat in the car, very anxious.

Wang Gouzi was also anxious, but Xu Bai accompanied them in a car, and he couldn't say a lot of things.

After thinking about it, Wang Gouzi couldn't tell what Fu Guogong's plan was.

The lightning strike is an accident, and it falls in the hidden mansion, and the matter can be big or small, but it is necessary to make a fuss about it......

It can be directed at His Highness or at the Holy Lord, how to splash ink and how to diverge, it only depends on the positions of all parties.

To say that the Auxiliary Guogong guided the lightning strike, tsk!

If you really have such a ability, you have to be an idle national teacher!

Besides, Fu Guogong has been stabilizing His Highness and advancing and retreating with His Highness in recent days, just to make a fuss about lightning strikes, which doesn't make sense.

Because anyone can do the article, there is no need to gain the trust of His Highness.

Wang Gouzi scratched his head, worried.

Fu Guogong is really a mystery to do things!

Even the master is in the clouds, let alone him?

Time is tight, there are many ideas, until he arrived outside the Qianfu, Wang Gouzi didn't catch a thread, let alone straighten it out.

When they got out of the carriage, they saw many people pointing not far away.

Wang Gouzi looked up, "Where is the smoke? Why didn't you see the little one?"

Xu Bai said: "You can't see it when you get close, and it was very obvious on West Street before."

"Let's get inside." Li Shao urged.

Wang Gouzi stopped: "It's too dangerous, you stay here, little ......."

"What's the danger?" Li Shao interrupted him, "Why can't I go?"

Wang Gouzi really couldn't tell where the danger was, so he had to say, "The people from the government haven't arrived yet."

"They're far away, and it'll be too late when they arrive," Li Shao made up his mind, and when he saw Xu Bai come forward and knock on the door, he asked Wang Gouzi in a suppressed voice, "I'm here, but I don't go in, so that my father knows, what will I think?"

Wang Gouzi was speechless.

Li Shao looked at the closed door with a very serious expression.

This is where he lived as a child, this is where his mother lived.

His father favored him, and his father missed his mother even more!

Last time, how disappointed and angry his father was when he saw the damage to his mother's relics, Li Shao remembered it clearly.

It is true that the lightning strike in Qianfu has nothing to do with his own actions, but Li Shao also remembers that his father was satisfied and relieved that he went to repair those relics with his own hands.

Repairing the house, he definitely doesn't have that ability, but if he goes in and takes a look, what's the difficulty?

If he is in the palace at this moment and does not know it, he will stand outside the gate of the house, and he will not go in, which is really unreasonable.

Moreover, if the place where the queen mother lived was damaged, or burned down......

The father's nostalgia for the queen mother is gradually decreasing, so can his son still be favored?

If he wants to be the crown prince again, he has to hold on to Yu Ze of the queen mother!

Wang Gouzi understood what Li Shao meant, and couldn't help but glance at Xu Jian.

There may not be danger in the house, but if His Highness stays outside, he will definitely be found by the imperial history and make the saint dissatisfied.

"That little one follows you closely," Wang Gouzi and Li Shao suggested, "It's hard to walk on a rainy day and dark road, so you must be careful of your steps for a while."

Xu Bai couldn't knock on the door.

"Is the porter unguarded?" Lin Yunyan walked over and muttered.

Li Shao said: "There may not be many people inside, and the caretaker found that there was smoke and went to check, so he couldn't take care of the door."

"What then?" Lin Yunyan asked knowingly.

Li Shao looked at the courtyard wall.

The courtyard of the Qianfu is high, and Wang Gouzi doesn't look like a person who can climb over the wall, so it will be delayed to ask someone to borrow a ladder at this moment.

He asked Xu Jian, "Can you turn it over?"

"I can't eat my legs." Xu Jian lied and said without changing his face, and raised his chin to Shenchen.

Samchen's back wounded by the blind bear had already healed, and he just followed, and without saying a word, he trotted a few steps, stepped on the courtyard wall and rose into the air, and fell into the wall in the blink of an eye.

Soon, he opened the door from the inside.

Li Shao took the lead and quickly entered the house.

The rain obscured the view, and the lanterns swayed in the wind and rain as if they would be extinguished in the next moment.

Although Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan had seen the drawings, it was the first time they came in, and at the same time, they had to pretend to be extremely unfamiliar, and only relied on Li Shao to lead the way.

Li Shao lived here until he was five or six years old, and then he only accompanied the saint a few times, and his memory was vague, he was good at recognizing the road during the day, but he couldn't see anywhere clearly at night, and he only walked all the way to the backyard with a superficial impression.

Bypassing the front hall, Lin Yunyan pointed to the sky not far away: "Is there smoke there?"

Li Shao paused, followed the direction of her finger, and saw the rising smoke.

It's not strong, it's blowing in the wind, and there is not much burning smell between breaths, so it can be seen that it is not serious, and it does not burn.

There is one

Direction, Li Shao walked around the east and west under the corridor, and arrived at the place in a short time.

That's the main courtyard of the Hidden Mansion.

What was hit was a tall tree, which fell sideways to the ground and cracked in the center.

The main house was also hit by it, and it was from here that the smoke came from.

The steward of the house was looking inside, and there was an oil light peeking through the house.

Hearing the commotion, the steward hurriedly walked out, "Who is coming?"

Li Shao said, "It's me."

The steward looked at it, recognized Li Shao, and hurriedly saluted.

"How's the damage?" Xu Jian asked the steward.

"The little one was in the porter's room, and suddenly I heard a few lightning and thunder sounds, and the ground exploded as if it were shaking, and I knew that this thunder must have fallen nearby, but I didn't expect it to fall in the house at all," the steward cried with a sad face, "There are still people who see the smoke and call the little one, and the little one hurry up here."

I saw that a tree had fallen, and there was a hole in the roof on that side, and the hole was not big, but the rainwater leaked in, and now it was half a small house.

There was only old furniture left in the house, and there were no buckets and basins, and the little one was about to look for one to fetch water......

"You go," Li Shao urged him, "I'll go in and have a look."

Lin Yunyan asked the steward, "Do you still have oil lamps?" Not enough lighting."

"Yes, there should be one or two in the low cupboard in the east room, and a few candles."

The steward hurried.

Sanchen took out the lampholder from the low cupboard, took out some oil from the oil lamp left by the steward, and lit a few more candles.

The room gradually brightened up.

Lin Yunyan held an oil lamp in one hand, gestured with Xu Jian's eyes, and went to find Li Shao.

As soon as he entered the house just now, Li Shao walked to the west to check the damaged west, and Wang Gouzi followed him every step of the way.

The two of them only had a lantern that could not be extinguished, and they couldn't see the situation clearly at all.

Lin Yunyan was "a newcomer", but she had heard about the condition of the house from Xuansu.

There are five bays on the left and right, and two ear chambers.

The west room is used for daily living, and now there is a wooden kang bed under the window, as well as an old wooden table, and some other bits and pieces, and then a bed is set up in the west room, which should be Li Shao's childhood residence, and there are old curtains hanging on it.

The roof that was struck by lightning was just above the head of the bed, and Li Shao stood on the roof and the sky.

Wang Gouzi raised his arm and took the lantern to shine, and looked at it carefully with wide eyes: "The entrance to the cave doesn't seem to be too big, it doesn't seem to have a big impact, it shouldn't expand, it's that seat is smoking, it seems that the rain has extinguished the smoke left...... Alas!"

As he was talking, his eyes suddenly went dark.

The lantern couldn't hold on any longer, and it went out.

It was pitch black, Wang Gouzi couldn't help but turn his head to look for light, and saw Lin Yunyan coming over with an oil lamp.

"It's too dark," Lin Yunyan walked over, one lamp casually placed on the vacant tabletop, and the other was handed to Wang Gouzi, "You change this and take it again."

Wang Gouzi took it.

The oil lamp is not as well balanced as the lantern, and he does not dare to lift it too high for fear of the lamp oil spilling.

Li Shao raised his head and continued to look, but he couldn't see clearly, so he casually said to Lin Yunyan, "Bring the one on the table too."

Lin Yunyan didn't move, twisted her fingers, and there was a small stone between her fingertips: "Father-in-law Wang, come and take it, I didn't take it just now, and my hands are hot."

When Li Shao heard this, he secretly muttered "squeamish".

However, muttering to muttering, he did not object.

Wang Gouzi didn't notice anything wrong, and his squeamishness was equated with the county lord, how normal this was, he put down his raised hand.

In the next moment, Li Shao stretched out his hand, looking like he was about to receive the light.

Wang Gouzi was stunned for a moment, he didn't mean to hand it over, and wanted to take two lamps to illuminate it himself, but seeing that His Royal Highness stretched out his hand, it didn't seem to be good if he didn't give it......

Just a moment of distraction fell in Lin Yunyan's eyes.

She was going to wait for Wang Gouzi to take two lamps, and her left and right hands were held high together, which was not stable enough

I made a move, but I didn't expect such an opportunity.

Don't miss the time!

With a pinch of her fingers, when Li Shao's hand was about to touch the oil lamp, Lin Yunyan's arm moved slightly.

The small pebble flew out and hit Wang Gouzi's hand, his fingers trembled, and he was relieved in an instant, Li Shao didn't hold it, the oil lamp fell obliquely, smashed on the ground, rolled twice, and the lamp oil spilled.

The curtain that was close at hand was lit with a bang.

Wang Gouzi was stunned, looking at his hands at a loss, not knowing why the handover was unstable.

Seems to have a tingling pain?

He didn't dare to be sure, and he didn't bother to think about it, and the moment he came back to his senses, he went to pat the curtain.

Li Shao remained motionless, his hand was still stretched out there without retracting, and the fire on the curtain reflected half of his face, which was full of confusion.

Lin Yunyan stared at Li Shao tightly from beginning to end.

That ignition didn't last long.

The curtain was flammable, but the water leaking from the roof made the house on this side wet, and even the tent was damp.

If it weren't for the addition of some lamp oil, there would be no need for Wang Gouzi to pounce hard, and the smoke would be almost extinguished.

Time is pressing, she can't miss the opportunity, and she has to force Li Shao again.

Picking up the lamp on the table, Lin Yunyan raised it very close to her face this time, she took two steps forward and called out eagerly: "It's on fire, beware!"

The voice exploded in Li Shao's ears, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the person who was talking to him.

Under the swaying of the firelight, this person's facial features are so familiar.

And in the next moment, Wang Gouzi, who was fighting with the flames, also shouted: "Your Highness, go out and avoid it first, beware of the fire!"

Li Shao glanced at the burning curtain, and then at the familiar outline of his facial features, and he didn't know what was wrong, countless pictures suddenly flashed in his mind, surging over like a tide, and the impact made him stagger.

Overturned oil lamp.

Fires that burn from small to large.

An old eunuch who is not very familiar, a woman who is familiar.

Collapsed beams and pillars, a burning hall......

Li Shao let out a "ah" and staggered out.
