Chapter 51 Burning the Tower of the Medicine King(1/2)
Fu Jiuqu looked at the stiff expression on Xin Yi's face, and his expression turned cold.
"How dare you tease me?"
Xin Yi was startled.
She didn't expect that the lie would be revealed so unexpectedly, and she wouldn't be given the slightest chance to prepare.
"It's all my fault for misdiagnosis. I just found out..."
Xin Yi smiled apologetically, then changed his tone and strangled Fu Jiuqu's arm, "Prince, now is not the time to talk about this. The fire is burning. Is there someone from the Imperial City Division outside the Yaowang Tower?"
"Dianqiansi and Kaifeng Mansion."
They won't set fire to it.
Then it can only be Chen Chusheng.
Xin Yi's heart trembled, and a bad premonition suddenly arose.
"The fire is coming fiercely, doesn't it look like it was started on the spur of the moment?"
Fu Jiuqu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he pulled her up with a cold face, showing no sympathy for her.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get out!"
Xin Yi suddenly felt a little happy.
If Chen Chusheng told her about her fake pregnancy before she fell down the wooden ladder, Fu Jiuqu would definitely not fly to save her, and she might fall to her death on the spot.
The entire pagoda hall was filled with the smell of burning wood, mixed with the pungent smell of kerosene, and the thick smoke was so thick that people couldn't open their eyes and coughed for a while.
"Hahahaha, stop guessing. I set the fire!"
Chen Chusheng's laughter was like a demon, hysterical and crazy.
"Die, let's die together. Come and taste the burning fire."
Cheng Cang walked over from the thick smoke and said loudly while coughing: "Prince, the gate of the tower is on fire. We can't get out. Let's go to the back hall..."
Fu Jiuqu glanced at Xin Yi who was coughing, turned around and left.
"Wait for me..." Xin Yi dragged his sleeve.
Fu Jiuqu looked down at her skinny knuckles and frowned in disgust.
"Can't bear to leave? Then you wait here to die."
He was still angry and was not polite to Xin Yi.
"Don't, don't, don't." The smoke gradually filled in. Xin Yi took a look, grabbed Fu Jiuqu's sleeve and refused to let go, "In order to help the prince solve the case, I worked hard and bravely tried the poison... Now I am weak and the prince cannot let go.
I don’t care.”
Fu Jiuqu frowned, "Duan Sui."
Duan Sui said: "My subordinate is here."
Fu Jiuqu looked at Xin Yi coldly and said, "Throw her out."
Duan Sui: "Yes."
Damn it! So heartless, so cold, so cruel, so excessive...
Xin Yi greeted Fu Jiuqu in his heart, but saw Duan Sui's smiling face suddenly froze. He opened his eyes wide and let out a horrified roar.
"Master Jiu! Let's go quickly——"
Bang! I don’t know how Chen Chusheng set the fire. I only heard a click and a huge shadow suddenly fell from the top of the tower.
"Prince! Be careful." The shout reached his ears, and Cheng Cang rushed forward.
Several guards rushed forward.
Xin Yi's lips were blue and white, and her heart tightened.
"Go away!" Fu Jiuqu shouted. Xin Yi felt a cold wind blowing from the ground. His collar tightened, and Fu Jiuqu pulled him over. Then, there was a violent sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from behind.
The wooden beams in the pagoda hall were crisscrossed and stacked up layer by layer. One beam burned out and the others fell down one after another...
The smoke and dust were flying, choking her and making her breathless.
Fu Jiuqu turned around and glared at Xin Yi, "Are you a dead person?"
Xin Yi: "I really...can't walk."
I wasn't pretending, nor was I trying to seduce him.
"Cheng Cang, open the way." Fu Jiuqu's eyes were cold.
"yes!"
The fallen beam and the exclamations of the guards were all left behind. Xinyi was held hostage by Fu Jiuqu under his arm, feeling like a little chicken that couldn't move. At this moment, Fu Jiuqu was tall and tall.
Full of strength, holding a long sword in his hand and frowning, he held her in his arms and ran towards the back hall in the thick smoke.
On his neck, a trace of blood snaked down, and he didn't know where he was injured. The blood fell on his luxurious fox fur collar, which made Xin Yi tremble with fear.
"Where are you hurt?"
There was wind at Fu Jiuqu's feet, as if he had not heard her words, and he quickly led the guards to the back hall. However, under the sweep of the fire, the octagonal eaves above Yaowang Tower fell down and had already been blocked.
exit.
"Hahahahaha..."
A wild laugh rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the melancholy erhu solo tune drifted into my ears through the smoke and firelight.
The lingering sound lingered, and the sadness seemed to be soaked in the bottom of my heart.
Sobs and farewells are like mourning for them.
The veins suddenly appeared on the back of the hand holding the sword of Prince Guangling.
"Cheng Cang, go up to the tower."
"Yes. You two come with me."
There was a sharp shout, and Cheng Cang and two guards quickly disappeared.
Fu Jiuqu stood motionless, his eyes slowly narrowed.
A shrill scream came from not far away. It was unknown who was hit. He screamed in fear and pain, like water thrown into a frying pan, exploding in Xin Yi's heart.
She has never experienced such a battle since she was a child. The scene of death is so real, not a game, not a world of paper people... Her eyes gradually dimmed, she looked at Fu Jiuqu, and whispered:
"When you have the chance, you go first and don't worry about me."
Hum! Fu Jiuqu pursed his lips slightly, "You don't need to say anything."
"Cough cough cough!" Xin Yi breathed unevenly and let go of his hands, no longer trying to tie him up.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't want the life-saving straw, she doesn't like to owe favors. If she dies like this, she will treat her death in Fu Jiuqu's hands and maybe go back...
The fire became brighter and brighter, burning her cheeks.
Xin Yi simply closed his eyes.
Her waist suddenly tightened, and before she had time to think, she was already off the ground.
This time Fu Jiuqu did not carry her like a chicken, but picked her up by the waist and ran towards the boulders that formed the base of the tower.
There was a fleeting light, and the fierce fire reflected Xin Yi's eyes.
The sad tune played by the erhu floated in my ears. Fu Jiuqu, wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with purple and gold unicorns, was flying in the wind. His hair was spread out. The sweet scent of osmanthus coolly covered the smell of smoke and blew into Xinyi.
nose, she watched helplessly as Fu Jiuqu hugged her and jumped onto the base of the tower...
The picture suddenly became strangely slow, like the slow motion of a movie or a game animation, repeatedly alternating between reality and the mind.
The sense of instant vision made Xin Yi's heart burn.
She looked at Fu Jiuqu's beautiful face in the firelight.
"Fu Jiuqu?"
"Bold! Who allows you to call me by my first name?"
"Prince..." Xin Yi moistened his lips, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he looked behind him, "Huo. Run quickly——"
Before she could finish her words, Xin Yi suddenly clasped her hand on his arm, tried her best to pull her away, and sank down, trying to break away from his arms.
"Go away quickly and don't worry about me."
Faced with life and death, she didn't want anyone to risk their life to save her.
"Let's go!" She pushed Fu Jiuqu away hard.
Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes in surprise and smiled crazily.
"I refuse to let you have your wish."
