Chapter 727: Yunya Ancient Town (4)
"Gong ...... Princess she ......"
It seems that he has never seen Liu Xunyi so "fierce and evil" tonight, and he feels guilty, so in the face of his aggressive questioning, Feng Tianba, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but panic, and he was speechless for a while.
"Where is she?" Seeing Feng Tianba's resignation, Liu Xunyi's mood became more and more urgent.
"I ...... I don't know ......."
"Bastard!" Before Feng Tianba's words fell, Liu Xunyi suddenly pushed it with a big hand, overturning it on the spot.
"Lord Liu, these men in black came suddenly, we were all sleeping at the time, and we didn't have time to react......" one of the guards defended in sincere fear, "plus they set a big fire......
"Alright!" Liu Xunyi interrupted impatiently, "which room does the princess live in?"
"According to Sui Zuo's arrangement, the Mongols lived on the first floor, we lived on the second floor, and the princess and her personal maid lived on the third floor......" Feng Tianba recalled, "As soon as the scuffle began, the whole mansion was on fire, and there were murderous black-clothed people everywhere, so no one cared about anyone, and they were all running for their lives......
"Then you can't leave the princess alone......"
"How dare we?" Feng Tianba said with an aggrieved expression, "When I squeezed up the third floor, the princess's room was already empty. The corridor was full of people, but there was no trace of the princess......"
"What about Ding Qinghong?" Liu Xunyi said urgently, "Is he by the princess's side?"
"I don't know. Feng Tianba said annoyedly, "It's all broken up by the man in black, and I haven't seen his shadow all the time......"
"Brother Liu!"
Just when Liu Xunyi asked Feng Tianba for clues about Zhao Xin, Su He's voice suddenly sounded outside the store.
Immediately afterward, three or five black-clothed men flew sideways, falling into the fire one by one like dumplings, and burned into several burning men, struggling desperately to walk around, while letting out bursts of heart-rending and desolate wails.
Almost at the same time, Su He shook a big sword, opened a passage through the raging fire, flew into the store, stepped on the heads of several fire men, and flew down in front of Liu Xunyi in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Liu, I'm relieved to see that you are safe and sound!" Su He said, "I just met the brother who was killed from Dongjie outside, and he told me that the Dongjie store has fallen, and most of Tao Amu and his four hundred brothers have been killed in the fire, and few have escaped......" As he spoke, Su He looked up and down at Liu Xunyi, who was covered in blood, and sighed, "Looking at your appearance, I guess General Xu and his three hundred brothers in the West Street store are also very ......lucky."
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's heart suddenly felt a burst of shame, if it weren't for Xu Guangsheng's eating inside and out, tonight's death and injury would not be so tragic.
However, Liu Xunyi did not dare to tell Su He bluntly that Xu Guangsheng was after all a guard general appointed by the Great Song Dynasty, and if Su He knew that Xu Guangsheng had rebelled, how would the Mongols view the Great Song Dynasty? If he was not careful, it was very likely to cause even greater trouble.
"Brother Su, what is the situation of King Hexi?"
"Rest assured, General Sui has led people to protect the king of Hexi and fight his way out of the siege, and now he has entered the vast Qinling Mountains. What about you, have you found the whereabouts of the princess?" Su He said worriedly, "The king of Hexi and the general Sui are very angry about tonight's events, if they can't rescue the princess, I'm afraid they will settle this account on the heads of the Great Song court." ”
"These men in black call themselves 'civil rebels', but I think they are well-trained, and they don't look like a rabble at all......"
"Okay!" Liu Xunyi was worried that Feng Tianba would make a mistake, so he interrupted urgently, "There are fights everywhere outside, and if we delay for a moment, the princess will be more dangerous." Right now, the fire in the store is getting stronger and stronger, and there will definitely be no more men in black who will venture in, you guard the first floor for me, and I will go to the princess. ”
"The fire upstairs is too fierce, even if Lord Liu can rush in, how can he get out?"
"I can't care so much, the princess is waiting for me to save her!"
Leaving a sentence in a hurry, Liu Xunyi ignored the dissuasion of Su He and Feng Tianba, flew up to the second floor, and disappeared into the fire in the blink of an eye.
"Xin'er! Xin'er......"
The billowing black smoke obscured the sky and the sun, and Liu Xunyi's eyes were filled with tears, and he covered his mouth and nose, stumbling back and forth in the rooms.
Because of wearing single clothes and bare feet, the skin on his body was burned red, and his feet were covered with blood blisters.
Where he walked, there were two intermittent blood marks on the ground, connected with the surrounding pools of blood, emitting a disgusting fishy smell in the terrifying heat.
At this moment, the entire North Street store was tightly wrapped in a huge ball of fire, like a blazing furnace, vowing to melt everything in the store and evaporate and burn it to ashes.
"Xin'er, ahem......"
I don't know how many rooms I've walked through? I don't know how long I've been in? Liu Xunyi is stumbling around like a headless fly, such a hot and unbearable environment, even a master like him is in danger, let alone Zhao Xin, who is weak?
As time passed, Liu Xunyi became more and more anxious, more and more panicked, and more and more angry......
At this moment, he was numb to the pain and weakness of his body, and he relied on his will to support his scarred body and run around in the flames.
Even if his feet stepped on the red charcoal, even if the single clothes on his body were eroded into strips of sparkled cloth by the tongue of fire, even if his blood and tears were dried up by the heat at the moment of overflow, he had no scruples, and still kept calling out Zhao Xin's name in a hoarse voice that was almost inaudible, like a fearless walking corpse passing through one wall of fire after another.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
Suddenly, in the depths of the vast and endless sea of fire, there was a rather regular tapping sound.
The voice was not loud, and there was even a tendency to get weaker and weaker, touching Liu Xunyi's heartstrings like a stick, making his chaotic spirit suddenly shake, and a pair of cloudy and bloodshot eyes instantly swelled with excitement and excitement.
"Xin'er!"
Liu Xunyi desperately ran towards the source of the sound, and fell several times surrounded by heavy flames, but he still couldn't extinguish his persistent and resolute heart.
When Liu Xunyi held his breath and flew into a room shrouded in fire, he finally saw a beautiful woman who he wanted to wear and had no regrets.
It appears to be a warehouse, but most of it has been burned beyond recognition, leaving it in shambles.
At this moment, Zhao Xin's body was soaked in a huge water tank, and most of the water in the tank undoubtedly became a life-saving straw for her to escape.
The thick smoke had brought her to a coma, but even so, her instinct for survival had forced her to hold a wooden spoon and tap weakly against the edge of the water tank.
The sound that Liu Xunyi heard just now came from this.
The temperature around is getting higher and higher, and the water in the tank is constantly heating up, if it weren't for Liu Xunyi's timely arrival, I am afraid that the unconscious Zhao Xin will be cooked alive by this hot water sooner or later.
"Xin'er ......"
In Liu Xunyi's memory, Zhao Xin has always been a handsome and elegant lady. How have you ever seen Zhao Xin so embarrassed, so miserable, and so weak?
Looking at Zhao Xin, who was half-awake in the water tank, with her hair scattered and trembling all over, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt that her heart was burning and her intestines were broken. In the face of pear blossoms and rain, Chu Chu's poor sweetheart, Liu Xunyi's state of mind is no longer enough to describe it with the pale words "pity" and "heartache".
At this moment, Liu Xunyi only hated herself, why didn't she protect her well, why did she let her fall into such a situation, why couldn't she bear everything for her?
At this moment, Liu Xunyi couldn't cry, he couldn't bear the pain, he was ashamed of being a man, and he was ashamed of himself.
At this moment, he hated to kill himself with a sword.
"Xin'er, I'm sorry, I'm late......"
Liu Xunyi staggered to the water tank, looking at Zhao Xin who was humming softly with trembling eyes. Reaching out for a trembling hand, he carefully pulled a strand of wet hair from her forehead behind her ear.
Since Liu Xunyi returned to Tianji Pavilion, this was the first time he had "contact" with Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin, who seemed to sense that someone was approaching, suddenly shrank her body, closed her eyes and kept shouting: "Don't come here...... Don't come here...... Find clothes, find clothes, save me......"
It seems that the unscrupulous pursuit of the man in black has left an indelible terrifying memory in Zhao Xin's heart, so that her reaction in a coma is still so intense.
"Xin'er, it's me!
Seeing Zhao Xin's panicked appearance, Liu Xunyi's heart ached, and she hurriedly hugged her trembling delicate body tightly in her arms. At the same time, tears uncontrollably poured down, and drop by drop fell on Zhao Xin's face.
Zhao Xin opened her eyes with difficulty, and the blurred world gradually revealed Liu Xunyi's dirty face, and her violently struggling body slowly quieted down.
"Looking for clothes?" Zhao Xin looked at Liu Xunyi, who was crying and laughing, and reached out to caress the scars on his cheeks, and said in disbelief, "I...... Is it already dead?"
"No ......" Liu Xunyi held back his tears, grinned with a bitter smile, and shook his head desperately like a rattle, "You're not dead, I'm not dead, I'm here to save you." ”
"Xunyi, you're finally here, I knew you were coming......"
Feeling the warmth from her fingertips, Zhao Xin's high heart gradually became more steady, a gratifying smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and then the back of her head tilted, and she completely fainted.
"Xin'er, let's go!"
Liu Xunyi picked up Zhao Xin from the water tank, found a piece of felt cloth that had not yet been burned, soaked it and covered Zhao Xin's body, and then with a full expression, he strode towards the roaring fire.
......
"Su Daxia, there is someone upstairs!"
Feng Tianba, who was anxiously waiting on the first floor, accidentally saw a looming figure faltering and crumbling in the raging fire upstairs.
"It's Brother Liu!"
Su He looked closely, and gradually recognized Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin, his face changed, and he said loudly: "Brother Liu, don't panic, Su is here!"
Before the words fell, Su He had already flown up, and his palms were waved alternately in mid-air, and the two sharp palm winds suppressed the spreading tongue of fire like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, changing a glimmer of life for Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin, who were about to be engulfed by the fire.
In the blink of an eye, Su He flew to Liu Xunyi's side, grabbed the unconscious Zhao Xin with one hand, and the dying Liu Xunyi with the other, kicked his feet, and flew a beam that was charred by the fire.
Su He took advantage of the situation, dragged Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin, stepped the beam in half in mid-air, jumped over the resurgent fire with his strength, and then fell to the ground.
"Princess, Lord Liu!"
Feng Tianba and several people quickly surrounded him, both happy and worried.
"Brother Liu, how are you?"
Facing Su He's concern, Liu Xunyi waved his hand again and again: "It's just a drowsiness choking on the smoke, it's no big deal!"
"Lord Liu, put on these boots first!"
Feng Tianba didn't know which dead man took a pair of boots from him, so that Liu Xunyi's miserable feet were not tortured even more.
Seeing that Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin were not in danger of their lives, Su He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and urged: "There are people in black outside, I don't know how long our people can support it?
After that, Su He, Liu Xunyi, and Feng Tianba protected Zhao Xin and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the store.
"Let's wait all night, you finally give up?"
However, at the moment when Su He and Liu Xunyi stepped out of the door of the North Street store, a gloomy laughter suddenly sounded from the opposite side.
At this moment, hundreds of black-clothed people who were waiting for the battle were arranged in a fan shape, blocking the water around the gate of the North Street store.
One by one, they are ready to go. The sharp arrows reflecting the cold essence light were all aimed at the same target, that is, Liu Xunyi and his party in front of the gate.
