When I woke up again, I was already lying in a strange house.

The surroundings are quiet and silent, only the silver-white moonlight pours in from the window, making the whole room clear and translucent.

Where is this?

I rubbed my temples that had begun to swell because I had been sleeping for too long, slowly sat up from the bed, took a deep breath of the slightly cool air late at night, but unexpectedly smelled a familiar scent.

This is

When I was young, I often smelled this fragrance in my mother's bedroom. However, I was still young at that time and only knew it was the fragrance of orchids, but I didn't know what kind of orchids it was.

Now that I can smell this fragrance in this strange room, I am interested in it for a moment.

What kind of flower is it?

The cool breeze slowly came, and in the direction of the fragrance of flowers, I finally found a pot of pretty orchids with flowers and leaves by the windowsill. The slender leaves blew slightly with the wind, and the moonlight shone on it, dragging the orchids with mixed shadows.

In order to see clearly, I walked off the bed gently, and the cold touch under my feet immediately made me feel like I was electrocuted and I had goose bumps on my back.

When I walked to the window, I found that there were strings of small white flowers hidden among the leaves with clear veins. The petals were slender, and under the moonlight, they were like solid-colored butterflies lying among orchids. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see them at all.

At this time, the breeze was coming, mixed with the refreshing fragrance of flowers hitting my heart, which also made me feel a little relieved.

However, at the moment when the wind blew, the complex leaves of the orchid grass were blown away by the wind, causing me to suddenly appear a piece of rolled parchment at the root of the leaves.

Driven by curiosity, I took out the parchment paper, opened it and saw that the paper only caught my eye: Danger! Get out of here quickly!

What does this mean? Is someone reminding me? Or is it a conspiracy?

Before I could think about it, Shen Xiao's low voice came from behind, "I will never change my anger, but my heart will never change my anger! It's something that suits the scenery!"

"Shen Xiao?"

I suddenly turned around and looked over with the slight light of the moonlight and saw Shen Xiao leaning against the door, looking at me with a pair of dark eyes with a roaring smile in his roaring eyes.

"When did you come in?"

"Guess!"

Shen Xiao curled the corners of his lips and smiled mysteriously, then raised his legs and walked to me, glanced at the parchment in my hand.

"It seems that the old doctor knows you!"

"Old doctor?"

When I saw me looking confused, Shen Xiao explained, "It's the doctor who treated you. Have you forgotten that you fainted due to fever?"

"Fever" I couldn't help but speak in a slight voice, and then looked down at the window. At this time, the silver-white moonlight was shrouded in a dilapidated street, with a few lights lit up in groups of three or three, which looked very deserted. "Where is this?"

Shen Xiao raised his chin slightly, his eyes looking a little confused, "This is Luyang City!"

After hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

So, am I already in Luyang City now? Will I be able to find Yin Linxi soon?

Shen Xiao looked at me steadily, and a bitter smile appeared on his thin lips, "Are you so happy? You must know that Luyang City is now in a plague, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" I responded instinctively, and then I remembered, "By the way, I heard the group of people who stopped me say that you sent them to do this, and the purpose was to prevent me from coming to Luyang. Why?"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, and a joking voice gradually appeared between his eyebrows and eyes, "Didn't I just say it? There is a plague in Luyang City. I'm afraid you are too stupid and rushed in without knowing it. If you get infected with the plague, wouldn't that miracle be pitiful? After all, he is still so young."

"Bah! Crow's mouth!" I pushed him angrily, "Since you stop me, why would you take the initiative to bring me to Luyang?"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao's eyes became serious. After looking at me for a long time, he whispered, "If I don't let you come, will you really not come?"

"Chenxiao, actually I"

>

"No need to say it!"

Under the moonlight, he hurriedly turned around and looked at the sparse but extremely quiet streets in the distance, leaving me a silence that looked a little lonely.

At this moment, the breeze blew, lifting his temples as stained with ink, but those eyes never looked at me again.

However, just as I was hesitating whether I wanted to find something to relieve the awkward atmosphere at the moment, Chen Xiao suddenly pulled me and hid in a shadow that was beyond the reach of the moonlight.

"What's wrong?"

I raised my eyes in confusion to look at Chen Xiao with a solemn expression on his face, but saw him pressing his index finger against his lips and making a silence, but his eyes were staring outside.

"What happened?" I lowered my voice and whispered.

After a while, I saw Chen Xiao relaxing his guard, but he still had a cold face, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, I stood on tiptoe and looked out the window curiously.

Unfortunately, before I could see anything, a sharp arrow broke through the wind sounded in my ears.

"careful!"

Chen Xiao shouted loudly and hurriedly snatched my body.

After I was transferred to a safe place, I looked me up and down nervously, "How are you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine!" I gently pushed Chen Xiao's hand away, and I finally couldn't help asking, "What the hell is going on? What did you see?"

Chen Xiao frowned, "I'm afraid I can't stay in this Luyang City anymore, we must leave immediately."

"Why?"

Listening to my question, Chen Xiao looked at me in a complicated way and finally turned a little open.

I looked out through the gap in the window behind him, and then I saw clearly that the clear and transparent moonlight on the street was gradually replaced by the fire that was rolling up with thick smoke.

"fire"

I looked up at Chen Xiao blankly, "How could this happen?"

"It's from Duguao!" Chen Xiao spoke lightly.

"Why? Didn't he transport supplies to Dachuan? Why did he set fire to Luyang? There are still people in Luyang City!

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that there was a plague in Luyang City, and Duguao immediately set fire to Luyang City. The two must be closely linked.

The reason why Duguao had such courage to burn the city was that he must have given the emperor the order!

Doesn’t this just show that the emperor has given up on these people? In order to prevent the spread of this epidemic, he even tried to kill and turn all innocent people into ashes.

If this is the case, wouldn’t Qintong, who is also a severe epidemic area, not escape this end?

The ridiculous thing is that the emperor hurriedly sentenced everyone to death without seeing the situation in these two cities.

However, it can be seen from this that the purpose of Duguao's trip is indeed not simple!

"Go away!"

Chen Xiao didn't explain much to me, but just shouted coldly and pulled me out of the door.

But at this time the fire had spread to the inn where we were. The howling flames were like crazy monsters, waving their minions and blocking our way out.

“What should I do now?”

Chen Xiao, who was blocking me, frowned and looked around, but he did not find any place to escape.

At this time, a tile suddenly fell off the top of our heads, hitting the ground in front of us, and immediately shattered.

Chen Xiao looked up and saw a big hole with a tile collapsed on the roof, and he was finally happy.

"Hurry up!"

Without waiting for my answer, Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes as he looked at the roof, and then his big hand wrapped around my waist.

When I calmed down, I had already jumped onto the roof with him, and at this moment, the houses under my feet were filled with flames soaring into the sky, stretching for several miles.

The firelight shone into the air, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, making this originally quiet and quiet night suddenly turn half red and half silver white, looking strange and brilliant, as if another world has arrived.

This is

Is it the so-called burning city?

Under the scorching fire, I felt a little blurred before my eyes and a dry and painful feeling.

Chen Xiao's hand holding my waist tightened again.

"pay close attention!"

After whispering, Chen Xiao jumped hard and went to the weaker side of the fire with his outstanding light skills.

However, just as I turned around, on the other side of the fire, I seemed to see a few black shadows.

Although I was covering my face for the man and I couldn't see his expression clearly, I could clearly feel the hot gaze.

Who is it?

With this doubt, the figure was finally swallowed up in the dazzling light in front of him.

"Your Highness! My subordinate doesn't understand why he didn't stop the Chen man!"

Zhao Zhou, dressed in black, was deeply angry and leaned behind the man with a group of guards behind him.

The figure standing in front of everyone did not retract his gaze for a long time, but he was filled with joy that could not be dissolved.

"Born."
