Chapter 45 Kindness is rewarded
Neither side was responsible for signing the agreement, and the real peace talks had already been completed in the inn.
Hua Rongxiu was only responsible for going to the council hall to sign, draw a pledge, and then send the peace talks back to Shangjing to ask the emperor for approval.
The inn was still some distance from the government office, and Wen Ling insisted that Wen Chuan send half of the forbidden army to escort him to the government office.
The inn needs to pass through several markets to get to the government office, and today is the second day of February, and the street is very lively.
The streets of Pingliang City were not wide, so Hua Rongxiu's carriage went slowly, and finally stopped altogether.
He lifted the curtain and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The driver replied, "My lord, there are two cars in front of you that have collided with each other, and the goods have been scattered all over the ground, blocking the road." ”
The two cars were loaded with walnuts and oranges, and they were rolling on the ground. The owner of the car is making noise in the street, and no one else dares to pass. If the past is crushed, it will be impossible to tell.
Huarong cultivated: "Then turn around and change your path." ”
If I continue to wait like this, I don't know how long it will be delayed.
The coachman said, "My lord, this road is too narrow to turn around, and there is a traffic jam behind." ”
Hua Rongxiu was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot here, but Wen Ling was already humming a song in the inn, and began to pack his bags and prepare to go home.
Before she came out, she didn't expect it to be so smooth, and she didn't want to live a day of hard life here.
I don't know if the vixen in the palace has found it, if it does, when he goes back, he will definitely blow up his hair again.
After packing his bags, Wen Ling prepared to go shopping on the street. She still owes Gongyehan a New Year's gift, and she doesn't know what to give, so if she can't, she can send some souvenirs.
She hummed a song downstairs, and Wen Chuan was downstairs.
"Where?"
"Go to the fox... Go buy some souvenirs for Your Majesty and bring them back. ”
"I'll send someone to protect you."
"No, I'm on this street."
Wenling's shopping figure fell in the eyes of Yue Qingci upstairs.
The man sent back with the word of mouth said that King Ping had no reaction to the fact that the deal was nullified.
It's really not like his style.
Today's streets are a little too lively.
"Su Liang, send someone to the government office to see, why hasn't the envoy come back yet?"
"Yes."
Boom!!!
There was the sound of things breaking outside.
Boom!!!
One after another, the voices of people downstairs also became noisy.
Su Liang didn't wait for Yue Qing's instructions, and immediately went out to check.
Outside, a large crowd of people blocked the door, shouting and cursing.
Although the guards suppressed, they could not stand the number of people, and people kept throwing wine jars into the building.
Su Liangsan ran back upstairs in two steps, "Your Highness, the outside is surrounded by people, looking at the situation, you are bound to rush in!" ”
Sou!!!
Before he finished speaking, a fire arrow passed through the window, grazed Yue Qingci's shoulder, and shot on the bed.
The bedding was all cotton, and the flames jumped up in an instant!
"Your Highness, go quickly!"
As soon as I left the room, thick smoke rushed in.
All that fell in just now was a wine jar, and the fire was a little bit, and there was already a sea of fire downstairs.
The soldiers put out the fire and suppressed it at the same time.
The fire spread too fast, and the billowing smoke rushed upward, and Yue Qingci's eyes were almost unable to see clearly.
If you don't go out, you won't be burned to death, but you'll be choked to death.
In the chaos, I don't know who threw the wine jar at the inn opposite, and shot a few fire arrows from nowhere.
The inns on both sides were on fire, and the flames were raging.
Wen Ling was shopping, but when the riot happened, she wanted to go up to persuade her, but when she found that the signs were wrong, she stopped her steps.
Sure enough, things got worse, as if someone had planned it.
But Yue Qingci is still in it!
She didn't care much, so she threw down her souvenirs and went up to help.
At the door of the inn, Yue Qingci and Su Liang were trying to rush out.
Wen Ling picked up a bucket of water and poured it on himself.
Damn it! This water is so cold!
After pouring it, she lifted a bucket of water and rushed it in, and she experienced what it means to be ice and fire.
The smoke was so thick that she choked on two puffs.
I wanted to appreciate Yue Qingci's expression of gratitude to Dade, but unfortunately it was foggy and I couldn't see it clearly.
"Ahem, ahem! Cloak for me! ”
Yue Qing took off the cloak and handed it to her, and Wen Ling took it and dipped it all into the barrel. Then he took it out again and returned the soaked cloak to him.
"Put it on and rush out!"
Yue Qingci took the cloak and did not put it on his body, but took a step closer to Wen Ling and propped the cloak on top of the two of them.
Wen Ling: Count your kid with a good conscience.
The rest of the water, Su Liang soaked his coat.
The three of them rushed out together, and finally escaped.
As soon as she saw the light of day, Yue Qingci put down her cloak and asked her, "Are you injured?" ”
Wen Ling took two breaths of fresh air, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, what about you?" ”
"Sizzle^" As soon as he finished speaking, his hand hurt a little.
Before she could react, Yue Qingci grabbed her hand first and checked, "Your hand is burned." ”
Wen Ling looked at it, and there was indeed a coin-sized burn on the back of his hand, "Small injury, don't get in the way." ”
As soon as the words came out, she regretted it.
She should cry and cry out in pain, so that he can thank him a thousand times.
Perhaps, as soon as he feels guilty, the remaining 30 million taels will be settled immediately!
Yue Qing said: "This will leave a scar...... I have jade ointment!"
Wen Ling said: "No need, don't worry." ”
Everyone was glad that no one was injured, and fortunately the time was short, because soon, the sound of arrows breaking through the air continued to sound.
This time it wasn't a fire arrow, the arrow glowed green, and it was quenched.
This is a poisoned arrow that kills people!
There were about a dozen archers, dressed in cloth clothes, on the roof.
The forbidden army and the government soldiers soon formed a barrier around Wenling and Yue Qingci, and they had no shields, so they could only fight and retreat to find cover.
Wen Ling picked up a sword on the ground and held it tightly in his hand.
Yue Qingci glanced at her.
During the retreat, people kept falling around, and gaps appeared in the barrier.
A feathered arrow struck straight at him, and the target was Yue Qingci.
The green-glowing arrow approached Yue Qingci's chest, and was finally cut off in an inch away.
Wen Ling raised his knife and fell: "This is the second time I have saved you, remember that you owe me two lives." ”
Wen Chuan successfully covered the two forbidden soldiers to break through and move the rescuers, and then everyone retreated to a teahouse, and quickly blocked the doors and windows with tables and chairs.
The rain of arrows is very dense, and there are still arrows that can come in.
Wen Ling and Su Liang protected Yue Qingci behind them.
If at such a time, the Yue Qing resigned and died in Daqian, and the two countries were bound to quarrel again.
At that time, the Longyou Army will be constrained, and it is self-evident who will benefit from it.
Wen Ling secretly cursed in his heart: The old lady will die here today, and she will never let that sea king succeed!
This teahouse is not very far from the inn that is on fire, and the people have long since fled in all directions, and there is no one to put out the fire, and the fire will soon spread here.
went out and was killed by random arrows; If you don't go out, you will be choked to death by smoke.
Now, they can only hope that the help will arrive in time.
The fire spread faster than they expected, and the temperature in the teahouse began to rise, and smoke came in through various cracks.
And the rain of arrows does not stop for a moment.
What's worse than that is that Yue Qingci is coughing incessantly.
His body was already weak, and he tossed and turned again and again today, and it seemed that his life was not long in coming.
If you continue like this, even if you don't get shot to death, you will choke to death, you will have to be tossed to death.
The smoke was getting thicker, and not only did the others start coughing.
Wen Ling's eyes were already choking on tears.
The doors must be opened, and everyone will hide under the windows on both sides, so that they will not be injured by arrows for the time being.
But the one who opens the door is bound to become a meat shield.
Without longer tools, Wen Ling could only stand a little further away from the door, trying to break it open with his sword.
Wen Chuan: "No! Ling'er, you're sure you'll be shot like this! ”
He came from under the window to stop her, and the sword in Wen Ling's hand was already enough to reach the door, and with a little more force, he could open it.
But that wasn't enough, she took a step further and pushed harder.
But because of the distance, he couldn't hold it steadily, and the sword fell with a clatter.
The rain of arrows seemed to be a little thinner, and she wanted to open the door with her hands.
A quick solution should not be so coincidental.
Having made up his mind, he ran to the door.
Just when Wen Ling's whole person was exposed in front of the door, the door was kicked open from the outside!
Wen Ling instinctively made a move, and his wrist was choked in mid-air.
