Chapter Twenty-Nine: Awakening from a Dream
"Stop!"
The person who came was Ke County, and he came in a hurry with a few headhunters.
Liu Guangtai glanced at him, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and ordered his subordinates on the side: "Light the fire!" ”
"No..." Ke Xiucheng's eyes were red, he wanted to pounce to save people, but he was stopped by four or five catchers beside him.
The four or five catchers he brought were faced with Liu Guangtai's high-minded hired horses, but it was still very powerful to stop his own county commander.
The catchers are also very worried, this new young county magistrate has no background foundation, but he has this stubborn temper, and he is still delusional about fighting against the Liu family.
Is it hard to turn a blind eye to some things?
The flame fell into the firewood, at first as a small flame, and then as the flame grew larger.
Looking at the small figure that was about to be drowned in the fire, Ke Xiucheng regretted it.
yes, can't you turn a blind eye?
It's all his fault.
If he didn't insist on asking, Aunt Zhou wouldn't tell the truth.
He killed the child.
Wan Yanjing hadn't yet felt the pain of being burned by the fire, and the thick smoke had already made her feel the pain of suffocation.
And Huo Xiang had calmly closed his eyes and waited quietly for death.
The fire ignited, surrounding Huo Xiang, and Huo Xiang's body was almost invisible from the outside.
Liu Guangtai stroked his sleeves twice, stood up, and prepared to go home.
It was a trivial matter, and he shouldn't have come forward, but for the sake of prudence, he still saw this little cub turn to ashes with his own eyes.
Wan Yanjing was in pain, the smoke was supposed to make people unconscious, and it would not be so unforgettable to be burned, but she was always awake.
At this moment, a man in white fell from the sky, kicked over the fire frame, grabbed Huo Xiang's hair and lifted the person out of the fire, he moved quickly in the air, and finally stood some distance away from the fire frame.
The people saw his face clearly in the exclamations.
The man in white has soft eyebrows and eyes, and a handsome face, if you don't look at his tall height, he will probably be recognized as a girl dressed as a man.
He was carrying a simple sword box, although it was to save people, but the technique was not very gentle, thanks to Xiao Huo Xiang's light body, otherwise he would have to lose a layer of scalp with his method.
"I want this doll, do you want to sacrifice or change the sacrifice." The man in white was amazingly imposing, with a pair of Danfeng eyes extremely sharp, he glanced at the altar in the room, the people around, and the guards of Liu Zhuang who were approaching him, and said politely.
Liu Guangtai squinted his eyes, very displeased.
"I'm not old, but my tone is arrogant, I don't know which brother on the road?"
The man in white looked about the same age as Ke Xiucheng, and the arrogance and disdain in his expression were about to reach the sky.
"I don't know what you are a lonely person about." The man in white glanced at Xiao Huo Xiang with a sluggish expression in his hand, and didn't want to entangle, he kicked over the offering platform, and with his strange body and Liu Zhuang's guards who rushed up, he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes like a ghost.
Huo Xiang was playing in his hand, coughing violently.
It's a pity that the man in white didn't pity the young man at all, and he disliked carrying Huo Xiang farther away from him while hurrying on the road.
A few minutes later, the man in white carried him to a luxurious and huge carriage.
Horses graze around at will.
In the shade of a tree, a young Taoist priest and an old man were playing chess.
The young Taoist priest was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a simple Taoist crown on his head, a white face and beardlessness, and an elegant appearance.
The old man's beard and hair are all white, and the tail of his eyebrows is slightly long, looking kind and kind, he should be like a fairy wind and bones, but he has a big gold chain with the thickness of a finger hanging on his neck, and he is dressed as a rich man.
"Liu'er, what did you pick up outside again?" The old man asked without looking up, his gaze anxiously fixed on the chessboard.
The man in white frowned and put Xiao Huo Xiang in front of the carriage, and then quickly took off the transparent gloves on his hand and threw them away.
"On the other side of the county road, someone is burning the little murderer, I think this little murderer is very interesting, so I slipped back. Do you want to look, he seems to be dying? ”
"Little murderer?" The young Taoist priest raised his head in surprise.
At this time, the old man pushed the chessboard expressionlessly: "Ah Ling, it's important to save people, let's even draw this game of chess." ”
The young Taoist priest looked at the chess pieces mixed up on the chessboard and was speechless. But in the face of the old man's suddenly serious expression, he could only forcibly swallow the words he wanted to blurt out, and went to Huo Xiang's side to take a look first.
Wan Yanjing looked at the young Taoist priest walking towards him, and felt a little familiar.
The Taoist priest is getting closer and closer, but for some reason Wan Yanjing's vision is getting more and more blurry, maybe Huo Xiang's body is too weak to faint.
The Taoist priest's hand was on Huo Xiang's chest.
Wan Yanjing was startled and wanted to dodge, she leaned back vigorously, and this time her gaze moved according to her dodge.
She slammed away from Xiao Huo Xiang's body, and then entered a certain vortex.
The last thing I saw before leaving was the turquoise wrench on the young Taoist's thumb.
The whole wrench is green, and the ring face is a rare light green gemstone.
It wasn't until Wan Yanjing really opened her eyes that there seemed to be a rare wrench finger shaking in front of her eyes, and the slender hand of the young Taoist priest.
"The princess is awake!"
"Finally woke up."
"Go to the medical woman."
Wan Yanjing opened her eyes in the exclamation of a bunch of maids.
The pain of a broken leg and smoke still tormented her nerves.
She tried to move her legs, but the huge pain made her face pale, and she instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
Her throat, burned by the smoke, seemed to have been brought from the dream to reality, making her unable to speak, and she could only look with her eyes open to judge what the current situation was.
Wan Yanjing saw Huo Xiang lying beside her, and the chain that was cut off on her wrist.
A big dream all night, but she seemed to have spent many days and nights in reality.
The memory finally returned, and she remembered what had happened before the dream.
She slept in her own bamboo garden, and tied herself to the bed with chains.
And now that she woke up, the chain was broken, and she appeared in Huo Xiang's room again.
