Chapter 232: Fire and Water
Zhou An tried his best and only spit out one word.
It is also the last word of his life.
He watched with his own eyes as Ning Wuxian quickly dropped his dagger and cut off the shaft of the arrow after hearing what he said, his expression became frightened, and he threw the shaft of the arrow into his wound and retreated.
I still want to ridicule it, when Ning Wuxian's expression is really exaggerated.
The hot feeling just now suddenly turned into a ball of fire.
Call......
The clothes stained with fuel and the arrow shaft that was also smeared with fuel were ignited together with the fire fold, and a ball of fire instantly ignited, wrapping Zhou An's wound in it.
"Ah!!h
Zhou An let out a miserable howl like killing a pig, and subconsciously curled up his body, wanting to reach out and slap the burned place.
Unexpectedly, his action directly spread the flames to his neck, hair, and cuffs, burning all over his body.
The sudden change stunned the deputy on the side.
And Ning Wuxian seemed to be taken aback, and stood stunned for two breaths.
It wasn't until Zhou An's hair was all burned, the whole person rolled on the ground uncontrollably, and the flames had a tendency to go out, that he seemed to come back to his soul.
"Splash the water, there's water in the kettle you carry!"
Ning Wuxian picked up the kettle he had brought with him, pulled the cork with one hand, and splashed it on Zhou An's face.
Call!
Zhou An's face, which was stained with fuel ash and burned oil, did not extinguish the fire when it encountered water, but made the fire burn more vigorously.
Ning Wuxian, who single-handedly created this result, understood it in his heart.
Dousing water on oil on fire will only fuel the fire.
But he still pretended not to understand, holding half a pot of water in his hand, and deliberately leaning under his nose.
"I didn't take the wrong kettle, and it's not a flask?"
As he spoke.
The deputy had also pulled the wooden cork and poured a whole pot of fire at Zhou An's most seriously injured and most burned lungs.
Call!
This time.
Zhou An's body, which was still rolling, stopped turning directly.
The flames that burned violently rushed towards Ning Wuxian.
Ning Wuxian gritted his teeth and didn't move, stretched out his right arm, and thought about splashing some more water on it to help the combustion.
Although this kind of thing is very embarrassing, it is really easy to use.
An arrow wound in the arm proves Zhou An's killing intent.
One arm burned, proving that he really wanted to save people.
Quite logical.
At this moment, Ning Wuxian's waist tightened, and he was unprepared to be pulled by his belt, dragged back two steps, and staggered to the ground.
The scorched earth made him gasp.
"Mr. Ning, be careful!"
Zhou Jingxian hurriedly helped the person up, grabbed his hand and looked at it carefully, so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes.
"Mr. Ning, you weren't burned, were you?"
"Why are you so careless, don't save people if they can't be saved, he doesn't deserve your life to save!"
Okay.
Ning Wuxiao saw that the bitter meat plan could not be used, so he simply raised his throat and shouted in a hurry.
"I want to save him, but he wants to kill me, Lord Xian, I can't save this person, you put out the fire quickly, send him to Lai'an County to find Langzhong."
said that he would lead someone to find Langzhong.
Ning Wuxian's right hand was holding on to Zhou Jingxian's skirt and not letting go.
Zhou Jingxian was just about to step forward, feeling the force behind her like a thousand pounds, and laughed dumbly.
Before she could pull Ning Wuxuan up, the ground shook violently.
"The ground moved?"
Ning Wuxian, who was sitting on the ground, quickly bounced up, grabbed Zhou Jingxian's arm, grabbed the deputy who was still stepping on the burning rice seedlings beside Zhou An, and shouted as he walked.
"Yunfei, retreat outside the fire!"
Although the fire is large, there is still a way out.
But if they are buried in this oily scorched earth if they are touched by the ground, the outcome is not easy to say.
Initially.
It was Ning Wuxian who dragged Zhou Jingxian and her deputy back.
Afterward.
After Zhou Jingxian saw that Zhou An was completely burned to a charred corpse and no longer had a trace of movement, she grabbed Ning Wuxian with her backhand, picked him up horizontally, and ran quickly in the direction of the carriage.
“……”
Ning Wuxian, a young man in his early eights, nestled in Zhou Jingxian's arms, somewhat shy.
But now is not the time for distraction.
He took advantage of someone to run forward, and when he turned his head to look in the direction of the earth's movement, he heard the neighing of the horses, accompanied by the sound of official shouts.
He reacted immediately: it was not the ground moving just now, but the horses carrying Zhou An and those killers were driven back by the officers and soldiers of Lai'an County.
The horses were all out of the fire because they were afraid of fire.
However, it was precisely because of the ground shaking caused by their return that the officers and soldiers who were about to enter the fire scene after cutting the isolation zone were so frightened that they all turned around and ran to a safe place.
Time.
All the rice seedlings within the isolation zone were ignited, and the scope was so wide that even the remaining living road was covered by the rice seedlings and flying flames on both sides of the surrounding area, and it was impossible to enter.
"Ahhh Help me! ”
"I'm not dead yet!!"
In the middle of the fire, there were several killers who pretended to be dead, trying to escape.
However, because the fire was too fierce and could no longer be controlled by manpower, he finally walked less than ten steps before falling to the ground and splashing a spark.
Ning Wuxian, who was standing ten feet away from the fire and was put to the ground by Zhou Jingxian, stared at the burnt corpse that was motionless and burning, and sighed lightly: "It's still acceptable to be evil in the sky, but you can't live if you do it yourself." ”
"Mr. Ning is right."
The deputy tugged at the charred sleeve beside him, echoing with righteous indignation.
"If it weren't for the killer who wanted to kill Mr. Ning, he would have been saved by us."
Ning Wuxian smiled bitterly, handed the kettle in his hand to Zhou Jingxian, and pointed to the last burn on her forehead.
"Wash it with water, lest you get dirty and scarred."
"Hmmm......"
Zhou Jingxian took the kettle, thinking of what happened just now, her eyes flickered.
She was too far away to see what was happening.
But she saw that when Zhou An's body caught fire, Ning Wuxian took the lead in opening the kettle and splashing it on it, and the fire on Zhou An's body became bigger and bigger.
Is Mr. Ning trying to get her to destroy the evidence?
Zhou Jingxian thought that Zhou An was dead, no matter whether it was oil or water in this kettle, she would prove that it was water.
He gritted his teeth, poured the water from the kettle into the palm of his hand, and covered it on his forehead.
"Hurt ......"
"Of course the wound hurts when it encounters water, and also, what are you doing with so much effort?"
Ning Wuxian saw through it without saying anything, tore off a clean undershirt from his sleeve, and wiped the dirt on Zhou Jingxian's forehead.
Zhou Jingxian tilted her head slightly, staring at Ning Wuxian's face in a daze.
It wasn't until Ning Wuxian put down her arm that she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Mr. Ning, I shot that arrow just now."
Zhou Jingxian's voice was low and her expression was solemn.
If it weren't for Ning Wuxian, who was paying attention to her changes at this time, he really couldn't hear her voice.
"Mr. Ning, you try your best to rescue, and there are witnesses who can prove your innocence, Zhou An's death has nothing to do with you, I will explain the ins and outs to the imperial grandfather."
Zhou Anke is not an ordinary person.
Even if the body is burned, at most it will not be recognized.
But when the King of Jin knows about Zhou An's disappearance, he will definitely investigate it strictly, and Zhou An once appeared in the Third Watch Pavilion to issue a summoning order, and it is impossible to hide it at all.
Of the ninety-nine people who were summoned at the beginning, only about eighty came in the end, and those who didn't come were more or less impressed by Zhou An.
Instead of letting King Jin find out about her head and implicate Mr. Ning, it was better for her to take the initiative to tell the imperial grandfather about it, to beat and punish, and even to ask her to pay for her life, she also admitted it!
Ning Wuxian saw Zhou Jingxian's expression of resolute death, and guessed her thoughts.
This is an upright little girl.
In this case, is it to use her psychology to make her sleek?
Or continue to fool her as a villain?
