Chapter one hundred and eighty-fifth theater fright
Mu Jingrui didn't answer at all, just drank tea and looked at the stage absently, all he could think about was Shangguan Wan Ning.
She is obviously very close, why should he be thousands of miles away from her?
Suddenly, several big men holding steel knives jumped down from above, startling the two people who were singing.
The sword flashed and a head flew out.
Blood splattered everywhere, frightening the actors on the stage to the point where their legs became weak, and even the audience below the stage screamed in horror.
In an instant, the scene was in chaos.
A group of big men came to the private room on the second floor aggressively, and the two forces started a melee.
Yin Yuqing is a noble lady, but when she saw such a battle, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was at a loss.
"What should we do? Let's... let's run too?"
Mu Jingyan was very calm, holding Yin Yuqing's hand and smiling: "What are you afraid of? My brother is here. He can come and go freely among thousands of troops, let alone just a few minor characters."
At this time, she didn't forget to brag about herself. Mu Jingrui really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He stared at the battle situation intently and found that there were many top experts among this group of people.
Who...are they? What are they going to do?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Mu Jingrui's mind.
"Ning'er?"
He reacted, turned to Mu Jingyan and said, "Wait here for me and don't run around." After saying that, he rushed out.
"Eh? Brother, be careful..."
Mu Jingrui opened the door of the private room, and the narrow corridor was already crowded with people, who were rushing towards the stairs.
Most of these were kept by the maids in the boudoir, and they were all in disarray for a while.
Mu Jingrui glanced around but didn't see Shangguan Wan Ning and Lu Tong. He didn't know which private room they were in, so he had to look for them one by one.
At this time, two big men slashed at him with steel knives.
Mu Jingrui gathered his true energy in his palms and struck out with two palms to stun the two of them. Mu Jingyan's cry for help came from behind.
"Brother...help..."
Mu Jingrui was angry and annoyed, so he had to turn around and go back.
Just in time, he saw a steel knife stabbing Yin Yuqing.
He stood in front of Yin Yuqing in a flash, grabbed the big man's pulse gate with one hand, and kicked the big man away with one kick.
"Why did you come back?"
In fact, Mu Jingrui just left not long ago.
Mu Jingyan's martial arts is not very strong, but it is more than enough to protect himself, but it is a bit difficult to take care of Yin Yuqing at the same time.
Mu Jingrui had no choice but to look down and saw that there were fewer and fewer people. Only two groups were left fighting, and the theater started to catch fire.
"Xiaoyan, follow me." After Mu Jingrui said that, he looked at Yin Yuqing again, "Miss Yin, I'm offended."
Yin Yuqing didn't understand what it meant, she just felt her body light up, her whole body was picked up, and she jumped into the air.
This feeling was something she had never experienced before.
Yin Yuqing felt a little scared. She pressed her face against Mu Jingrui's chest. She only felt that her cheeks were hot and her face was red.
Until Mu Jingrui took her out of the theater and let her go, she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now.
"It's so scary..."
"Yes, have you reported to the official? Who are those people?"
"Who knows? I don't know how Jingzhao Mansion does things, but it allows so many people to fight openly in broad daylight. I will tell my father when I go back and ask him to severely punish the governor of Jingzhao Mansion."
Mu Jingrui searched for Shangguan Wan Ning's figure in the crowd that had not dispersed. He saw Lu Tong standing at the side door of the theater looking anxiously, and immediately ran over.
"Lutong, where is your young lady?"
Lu Tong was so anxious that she burst into tears when she saw Mu Jingrui.
"Mr. Mu, please quickly find a way to save the young lady... She... She just ran out with her slaves, but she suddenly broke in again for some reason. What should I do... If something happens to her, then..."
Mu Jingrui's heart ached violently. Seeing the smoke billowing inside the theater, he rushed in again.
"elder brother!"
It was too late for Mu Jingyan to stop him.
As soon as Mu Jingrui entered the theater, he heard the sound of weapons being exchanged. At this time, he really was not in the mood to find out who these people were.
"Ning'er..."
"Jing Rui, I'm here..."
With a "boom", the stage collapsed instantly.
Mu Jingrui's mind went blank. He just vaguely heard Shangguan Wan Ning's voice coming from near the stage. Could it be...
He rushed forward desperately. The dust and thick smoke made his vision unclear. He glanced around and saw no sign of Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Ning'er!"
I called several times, but received no response.
Mu Jingrui was anxious and annoyed. He inadvertently lowered his head and saw a handkerchief pressed under the wood. He hurriedly picked it up and saw the word "Ning" embroidered on it.
It's Shangguan Wan Ning's handkerchief.
Could it be that she was pressed underneath?
Mu Jingrui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He stuffed the handkerchief into his arms and started to move the wood.
At this moment, he completely forgot everything before. He only knew that if he lost Shangguan Wan Ning, then there would be no point in trying his best to get ahead.
"Ning'er, nothing happens to you... I'm here to save you..."
"Sir, the eldest lady is here."
From the other side blocked by the ruins, shouts came from the other side.
Mu Jingrui was startled and ran over in a hurry.
I saw Shangguan Wan Ning moving a pillar away. She had very little strength and almost used all her strength. The skin on her palms was scratched and covered with blood.
"Ning'er, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Yue was drinking tea with his colleagues nearby. Hearing that something happened in the theater, he brought people over to check. He met Lu Tong at the door and learned that Shangguan Wan Ning was still inside. He was frightened with anxiety.
"Dad, please ask someone to move these things away quickly..." Shangguan Wan Ning was sure that she had heard Mu Jingrui's voice.
She had just escaped along with the crowd, but she didn't see Mu Jingrui in the crowd.
She guessed that Mu Jingrui was still fighting with people inside. She knew she couldn't help, but she couldn't help but turn around.
Shangguan Wan Ning was very scared when the stage collapsed just now. She was worried that Mu Jingrui was buried underneath.
No matter how good a person is in martial arts, he is still made of flesh and blood.
"Ning'er, there's a fire. The fire will come over soon. Let's go out first." Shangguan Yue took his daughter and started to leave.
Shangguan Wan Ning stood stubbornly on the spot.
"Dad, please, don't leave. What if... what if there are still people trapped here... maybe they are still waiting for us to rescue? Dad..."
Shangguan Wan Ning seemed to see a familiar voice out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and met a pair of deep eyes.
Is he okay?
Shangguan Wan Ning subconsciously wanted to run towards Mu Jingrui, but her father grabbed her wrist.
