Chapter 827 Fire and Attack(1/2)
Silver light streaked across the sky, like a shooting star. Qi Ranran's right eyelid twitched, and then he heard someone exclaiming, "It's gone! It's gone!"
Thick smoke was flying all around, and the black smoke was rolling in, surrounding the area, and going straight into the nose. It was so pungent that I couldn't help but cough a few times.
Eunuch Li was frightened and shouted, "Protect me! Protect me!"
Qi Ranran didn't have time to see where the fire started. In the next moment, he was picked up by Yu Wenchen and jumped off the tower.
When his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, he had already landed on a stable ground.
Yuwen Chen let go of his hand holding her shoulders and ordered Eunuch Li, who had escaped from the tower with a layer of black ash on his face, "Send the queen back to the palace."
Qi Ranran saw that his face was particularly ugly. When he turned around, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeves.
I wanted to speak, but I didn't know if I was choked by the thick smoke. When I opened my mouth, I felt a sore throat.
Yuwen Chen turned around, squeezed her hand holding her sleeve, and said, "Go back first, I'll come back after I've finished processing it."
Qi Ranran swallowed and felt the sore throat relieved a little. She kept looking at him, "...be careful."
"Um."
When being surrounded and left, Qi Ranran looked back.
He was facing in the opposite direction to her, his back looking particularly resolute against the firelight.
And behind him, the prosperity that he had admired and shocked before was like a passing cloud, swallowed up by fire in just a moment.
The capital city, with its dreamy and brilliant colors, disappeared quietly and unpreparedly.
The fire was merciless, growing bigger and more intense, spreading crazily as the north wind swept by.
When the fire burned into the sky, the people downstairs in Xuande fled one after another, and stampedes occurred frequently. There were no longer the joyful cheers just now, and all that could be heard in the ears were howls.
Military patrolmen carried water dragons and pushed carriages filled with water to quickly put out the fire. People from Jingzhao Mansion controlled the scene to maintain order and prevent further accidents.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, is one of the most important festivals. Because there will be a lot of fireworks and a large number of lanterns on this day, so whenever the Lantern Festival is approaching, it is the time when military patrols are most cautious, especially
On the Lantern Festival, all aspects will be taken into consideration. In previous years, people's homes occasionally had water leakage, but this is indeed the first time that water leakage occurred in Xuandemen.
In about a stick of incense, the fire that filled the sky was finally put out.
After the fire is extinguished, the panicked people are the most difficult to appease.
People in the crowd were talking in various ways, "Why is Xuandemen on fire?"
"Yes, I have never encountered this kind of thing in all these years!"
People were chattering in the air. Following the east wind, the fly ash had already drifted ten miles away, with a burning smell floating around. Even after the fire was extinguished, there was still a choking smell.
Someone in the crowd whispered, "Isn't this a sign?"
Someone said, "It's just water. What's the sign?"
"But, how many years have passed, when did Xuandemen have a fire? Why did it break out this year? It's such a great festival, and this happened... ugh..."
A sigh as the concluding sentence seems to have finished the words, but it arouses countless reverie.
People no longer spoke, but everyone was thoughtful.
Yu Wenjing stood in the attic not far away, watching this scene indifferently.
When Lin Ze came, he looked over his shoulder and saw the fire being put out not far away, and said, "Everyone is fine."
Yu Wenjing heard it but said nothing.
The fourth child's kung fu was good. There were imperial guards and bodyguards in the open, and hidden guards in the dark. I never thought that a fire could do anything to him.
When you raise your hand, you catch the ashes that accidentally float in the air.
He looked at the illusory dot of black and said quietly, "He doesn't want to be a good emperor who cares about the safety of the people. I want to see how much prestige he, the emperor, has in the hearts of the people, and whether it is really like this fire.
It’s gone once it’s burned.”
A fire in Xuande Building on the Lantern Festival is never a good sign.
None of the emperors in the past dynasties of Beiyu started a fire at Xuandemen on this day.
Lin Ze: "Why bother?"
In this matter, it is easy to see that there has been some manipulation.
Yu Wenjing dismissed this, "So what if you know? Why, do you think he dares to kill me?"
Lin Ze: "..."
Yu Wenjing's eyes were extremely cold and he sarcastically said, "He doesn't dare."
When I walked out of the attic, there were still many pedestrians on the street.
The terrace is as beautiful as Yichun Garden, and the lights are as bright as the city that never sleeps.
Even though it has just experienced a fire, the glory of a great country cannot conceal its splendor.
However, there are more people from Jingzhao Prefecture on the streets, and public security management is stricter.
After all, the Shangyuan Festival is a grand festival, with a ten-mile long street connecting it from the east to the west of the city. The number of participants is so huge that it cannot be dismissed in a short time.
Fortunes are unparalleled and misfortunes never come alone, and dangerous accidents never happen more than once.
The flying arrow rode the strong wind and pierced Yu Wenjing's left shoulder with precision.
If he hadn't happened to avoid Lin Ze while talking to him, he would have been stabbed in the heart.
Lin Ze, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, used the fastest speed to seal Yu Wenjing's acupuncture point to prevent more blood from flowing out.
His body was penetrated by an arrow, and the people around him were splashed with blood when they passed by. They shouted at the top of their lungs, "Killing people! Help-"
It exploded in the crowd, and when people saw the light of the sword, they started to flee.
At this moment, dozens of masked men rushed forward, with surprisingly the same goal, all attacking Yu Wenjing.
He didn't even care about his own life and fought to the death.
The guards hiding in the dark had been blocking Yu Wenjing's side when he was hit by an arrow.
The two waves of people began to engage in a fierce life and death duel.
The long sword slid across the opponent's neck, and a trace of blood streaked through the air. Lin Ze retreated to Yu Wenjing's side, "Let's go quickly."
Now we are in a crowded city, with so many people, it is difficult to use their movements, and it is difficult to defend against them. Although there are guards around them, they don't know how many people there are on the other side. At the moment, the number of people on the other side is obviously still increasing, so what they need to do now is
Evacuate immediately.
Because of the fight, everyone fled. A small area was cleared around Yuwen Jing Linze and others. One of the men in black was seen waving his hands in the air, and then the arrows in the air were directed at Yu Wen Jinglin.
The waves are densely projected.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Ze was shocked.
Not only were the people who came here all experts, but there were also archers on the surrounding high-rise buildings, obviously they were fully prepared.
With the blessing of the archers, Yu Wenjing's side quickly fell into a disadvantage, with each person hitting several arrows.
The situation is unfavorable and it is impossible to escape now.
At this time, a fire spot appeared on their east side, and they were walking in an orderly manner. It was the Jingzhao Mansion who heard the news and came over.
Seeing the involvement of government officials, the situation reversed again, and the man in black at the head made a retreat gesture.
However, another man in black in a high-rise building drew his bow, accurately aimed in the direction of Yu Wenjing, and shot an arrow with all his strength.
The sharp arrow flew across the sky and should have hit the target perfectly, but at this moment someone rushed out and blocked Yu Wenjing.
As a result, the arrow penetrated directly through the man's body.
Seeing that his plan failed, the man no longer wanted to fight and immediately retreated.
The governor of Jingzhao apologized, "I came late to escort you, please forgive me."
Yu Wenjing had no intention of paying attention, and his eyes quickly followed the person who blocked his arrow.
When he saw the person lying on the ground, he was shocked and his expression was indescribable. He was also hit by an arrow in his calf. The action of lifting the person up became extremely difficult, but what made him feel even more difficult was the other person's injury, "...
...you...why..."
The next words will be difficult to open your lips.
He never thought that Zhao Chengping would help him block this arrow.
Zhao Chengping could not suppress the surge of Qi and blood, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood. He only felt a dull pain in his heart. The pain was so extreme that he fell into boundless darkness.
Lin Ze was also hit by an arrow in his arm. When he saw that the blood coming out of Zhao Chengping's wound was black, he was frightened and said, "No, the arrow is poisonous. The wound must be treated quickly."
The Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture was very discerning and sent someone to call, "Please call the imperial doctor quickly!"
He returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion as quickly as possible. After treating Yu Wenjing's injury, the doctor's eyes fell on the wound on Yu Wenjing's shoulder. He looked troubled and said tangledly, "This... the wound on the prince's leg has faded."
Toxin. But the wound of the arrow on the shoulder is too deep and has damaged the bone. The end of the arrow is coated with highly toxic poison. If you want to completely remove the toxin, you can only... follow the ancient method... scrape... scrape the bone to remove the poison."
Lin Ze: "What did you say!"
Yu Wenjing lost too much blood and his complexion turned pale. "Just treat it and treat it. How can there be so much nonsense."
When the doctor heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over and replied, "...Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have limited medical skills. I have only heard of scraping bones to remove poison, but I have never done it."
To be continued...
