The fire was so intense that Xie Xun couldn't even open his eyes. He endured the soreness in his eyes and rushed to the door of the room based on his intuition.
I saw that the door to the room had been locked tightly!
He suddenly pulled the big lock on the door with his hand. The big black iron lock had been burned hot by the fire. Nie Lei, who was accompanying him, could even hear the sizzling sound of human flesh sticking to it.
"My lord, don't worry, I'll go find the key right now!"
"No need to look for it, it's useless! The keyhole has been melted, so we can only use brute force to break it open!"
"But...but..." Nie Lei looked at Xie Xun in shock, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his hands at all.
Xie Xun pulled hard a few times, but without pulling the lock open, he took his hand back again, and with a squeak, the entire flesh and skin of his palm stuck to the hot door lock.
The smell of burnt meat entered Nie Lei's nose. Even a man who had been injured frequently on the battlefield couldn't help but feel pain when he saw Xie Xun's hands.
There was no good spot left in Xie Xun's palm, and some of the nails on his fingers even cracked due to excessive force, causing blood to flow freely.
Xie Xun still seemed to be unable to feel the pain. After only a moment of relief, he stretched out his hand again and tried to forcefully break the lock.
"Boom——"
There was another sound, as if something inside was burned.
Attracted by the noise, Nie Lei tried his best to look inside the house, and vaguely saw through the cracks in the window that the house was already in flames, and the beams had long since collapsed.
At this time, the other pillars of the house were also burning under the fire, making an overwhelmed creaking sound.
No, we can't go on like this! This house is going to collapse!
"My lord, please leave first! This house is going to collapse!"
"Leave? How do you want me to leave? My wife and children are still inside!"
Xie Xun roared angrily, his voice full of anxiety and pain, even hoarse.
Nie Lei was stunned. He had never seen Xie Xun collapse like this.
Even when the troops came to the city, even when they were surrounded by Dayan's army and ran out of ammunition and food, the prince was calm and calm. Whenever he was like this, he was like a trapped beast, unable to break free from the painful cage.
Nie Lei was frightened by the pain and determination in his eyes, but he also knew that Da Qi needed Xie Xun, and Xie Xun must not let anything happen here!
Nie Lei suddenly jumped on Xie Xun, and used the inertia to knock Xie Xun away several meters away. Fearing that Xie Xun would be in danger if he rushed over again, Nie Lei firmly suppressed Xie Xun.
But how could Nie Lei alone control Xie Xun, who was like a trapped beast?
There were several times when he almost got freed, and Nie Lei could only shout to the Imperial City Army on the side, "Why are you still standing there?! Hold the prince down, you can't let him pass!"
"Let me go! Nie Lei, let me go! Rushuang is still inside!"
Extreme despair caused Xie Xun to burst out with astonishing brute force, even knocking Nie Lei and the two Imperial City Army soldiers away.
But that move also used up all his strength. He stumbled two steps, and with a bang, the whole room collapsed in front of him.
Xie Xun suddenly knelt down, his wife and his children...
Gone……
Xie Xun was still immersed in this cruel fact and couldn't extricate himself, but his body was kicked from behind and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Master Shen, what are you going to do?!"
Shen Xiaoyang arrived.
Nie Lei rushed over to protect Xie Xun, but after Xie Xun fell, he seemed to have lost all his strength and just lay on the ground motionless in embarrassment.
Shen Xiaoyang wanted to go up and fight again, but Nie Lei stopped him and hugged him: "Mr. Shen, what are you doing? Tell me what you have to say!"
"What to do? I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill you!!! You murderers, you killed my sister with your own hands!!"
Xie Xun's voice was hoarse as he lay on the ground, "Don't stop him..."
Nie Lei let go of his hand at a loss, and Shen Xiaoyang rushed forward, punching Xie Xun's mouth with blood.
He didn't even let go and pinched Xie Xun's neck tightly with both hands, "You know how sad you are now? You know how sad you are?! Shouldn't you be happy?! Ah? Isn't it what you wanted to kill my sister? ? Shouldn’t you be happy?!”
"Why are you crying?! What right do you have to cry?! You should laugh! You should laugh! I won't let you shed a tear for her! You should laugh for me!"
Only then did Nie Lei realize that Xie Xun, who was lying on the ground, had started crying at some point.
It was a silent, soundless, desperate cry.
Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes without making any sound, mixing with the blood and tears at the corners of his mouth.
Shen Xiaoyang on the side had already burst into tears. He also lost all his strength and sat down next to Xie Xun.
"What's the use of crying now? Why don't you believe her? How could she steal the defense map? Why did you come so late? Why didn't you rescue her?!"
Shen Xiaoyang murmured: "You killed her..."
Nie Lei on the side couldn't help it anymore. He whispered: "The prince has never doubted the princess. This matter is too complicated. He only did it because the soldiers who were trapped at the border a few days ago had no choice but to do it. That is Five thousand human lives..."
Nie Lei's words of explanation seemed to ignite the final anger in Shen Xiaoyang's heart: "You are not human!!! She saved you back then, but you killed her with your own hands!!! If Rushuang Yuan hadn't been there, Kyoto gave advice, Fei Ge sent a message to Xie Xun, and saved the soldiers at the border, but they would have died long ago!!"
"Now you let Rushuang die in the fire because of their lives. You owe her two lives!!"
Xie Xun sat up suddenly and held Shen Xiaoyang's shoulders firmly: "What did you say?!"
Xie Xun got up in embarrassment, walked to Shen Xiaoyang step by step, and looked at him humbly, "Flying pigeons pass the message? Say it again!"
Shen Xiaoyang reached into his chest, pulled out a pile of letter paper, and scattered it randomly in front of Xie Xun, "See for yourself! Your favorite Qin Fanghao pretended to be Rushuang and achieved great achievements, but you are completely unaware I don’t know!”
"How could that happen? How could this happen?!" Xie Xun knelt on the ground and read the papers page by page.
"How could this happen? Why didn't she ever tell me?!"
"Ha? How do you understand! How do you know the pride that is engraved in Ru Shuang's bones! You idiot! How can someone who has the ability to make suggestions for you to save the border be an ignorant woman in the boudoir? How can such a person? Maybe she's using your achievements as a border officer to blackmail you into giving her an emotional response?! You see, that's looking down on her feelings!"
"Xie Xun, you loser! You don't deserve her! You don't understand her! You don't understand her pain and pride, let alone his self-esteem engraved in his bones!"
"ah--"
The extreme pain and regret made Xie Xun cry hoarsely.
Nie Lei was stunned.
He had never heard such a painful sound.
Pain, despair, regret...
Like a trapped beast that can never break free from its cage.
