In an instant, a sea of ​​flames enveloped the small courtyard house.

The scalding heat started from the door and spread to the surroundings. Chu Qing's eyes reflected the raging flames, and his legs and feet were almost stiff.The heat wave hit his face, and Chu Qing's mind went blank.

Can't sit still...

Chu Qing reminded himself repeatedly, dragging his stiff legs towards the window that had not yet been ignited.

"Wangwangwang-!"

The general followed him, and suddenly rushed towards him, throwing him to the ground. The next moment, the flames rolled from the window, licking him desperately.

The general pressed him to the ground, and the hair on his back was scorched and curled by the flames.

Fortunately, the fire did not burn the general.

Chu Qing froze for a moment, then dragged the general stiffly to hide in a wide area.

The general's house was empty and sparsely decorated, and it was not easy to burn. Most of the fire climbed up the doors and windows, and they were safe for the time being.

Thick smoke billowed above his head, Chu Qing hugged the general, squatted down and hid in a blank corner, he opened his mouth, wanting to call for help, his throat seemed to be blocked, dry and painful.

The general raised his head, "Wow! Wow!!"

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

Outside the house, there was a sharp scream, followed by more and more noisy human voices.

"Save the water—!"

"Go and find the Habayashi Army!"

The general's head was buried in Chu Qing's arms, and Chu Qing covered his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling too much smoke.

The voices outside the house rose and fell, and fell into Chu Qing's ears and turned into meaningless syllables.

The flames jumped, reflecting in Chu Qing's eyes.He stared at the flaming tongue, which gradually overlapped with the scene in the nightmare.

Same fire, same situation...

On the other side, Chu Tingyue walked to the Imperial Garden, and saw the Habayashi Army rushing past not far away, followed by an attendant from the animal garden.

"My lord, please hurry up, the general's garden is flooded, and I heard that the servant is also in it—"

Servant——

Qing!

Chu Tingyue turned around abruptly, and hurried over, "What did you say?"

"Emperor, Your Majesty, slave..."

The servant saluted tremblingly, but was stopped by Chu Tingyue, asking him to explain clearly what happened to the servant.

"The Servant and the General are in the garden, and the garden is flooded...they are still in it, they haven't come out yet..."

Chu Tingyue was stunned for a moment, then his face turned gloomy, and he walked towards the animal garden.

"emperor--!"

The commander of the Habayashi Army shouted, and hurriedly beckoned the guards behind him to follow quickly.

He has also heard about the emperor's preference for his servant, if... the commander dare not think about it, if the emperor acts impulsively, he needs to stop it.

The fire was all over the sky, and the billowing black smoke of the animal garden could be seen from a long distance away. Chu Tingyue's heart was clenched tightly, and a big rock was pressed heavily on his heart.

Animal garden attendants, eunuchs, and palace maids kept coming in and out, fetching water to put out the fire, making a mess and making a lot of noise.

The steward of the animal park was in command, and when he saw Chu Tingyue coming, he stepped forward to salute profusely, but Chu Tingyue ignored him, and ordered the Habayashi army to put out the fire quickly.

The steward was sent to inform Chu Yuanyan and Yuanhe, Chu Tingyue stood anxiously outside the house, several times trying to approach but was blocked by the heat wave.

"Ah Qing! Can you hear me?"

Chu Tingyue called out, but when he didn't hear an answer, he raised his voice again, "Chu Qing!"

"Wangwangwang-!"

Inside the room, the general yelled a few times at the top of his voice, and the head buried in Chu Qing's arms weakly arched against him.

As the flames gradually approached, Chu Qing squinted and watched, and the scene that repeatedly appeared in the nightmare was repeated again.

The scenes that reappeared again and again quietly passed by, and then there were scenes that he had never seen before.

A young man in black called his master and rescued him from the flames. He was seriously burned.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. After the young man rescued him, the two met with murderous hands and were intercepted.

Chu Qing was dizzy, aching all over his body, and confused. Occasionally, when he woke up, he could see himself in the carriage, and the carriage was staggering and he didn't know where he was going.

The young man was beside him, his body was badly burned, his body was wrapped in bandages, and he smelled of wound medicine. He was more seriously injured than him.

"Our whereabouts have been discovered, what should we do?"

"With two people, it's inconvenient to drive a horse-drawn carriage to walk along the path, and it's too risky to take the official road all the way."

"If you don't arrest that servant... Your Highness will only say to arrest the master."

"Row."

When the sound fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, someone came in and carried the young man out of the carriage.

Ah Yuan...

Chu Qing knew that if A Yuan was taken away, there would be no way out.

He cannot be allowed to be taken away.

Chu Qing woke up and fainted for a few days, and got a general idea of ​​the group who hijacked them.

Xu is to deceive people, they are not many in number, there are three of them in total, and the division of labor is clear, and there is always one person watching beside him and A Yuan at any time.

For example, now, when the two carry Ah Yuan away, there is still one person guarding him.

Chu Qing caught him by surprise and attacked him.

As soon as the blow hit, Chu Qing's wound burst open, and it was hot, but he didn't have time to control it, and he wanted to bring A Yuan back.

A Yuan grew up with him since he was a child, and he is said to be a loyal servant, more like his friend and relative.

Chu Qing fought desperately, and seeing that he could save A Yuan from the hands of the two, the person who ended up in the dark suddenly appeared, and the situation changed instantly. Chu Qing had to hold his breath to persist until now.

Under the hands of the better hidden guards, he was defeated in a few moves and was escorted by the dark guards.

General A Yuan was brutally murdered, Chu Qing rose up to resist, and the hidden guards restrained his hands and feet, out of concern for his life. Chu Qing realized this and almost fought with his life.

He wants to save Ah Yuan.

The person who seemed to be the boss in the hidden guard made a gesture, and dragged the person who did it away with Ah Yuan, out of Chu Qing's sight.

Chu Qing was anxious, enduring the pain of the broken body, and made more and more fierce moves, all of which contained killing intent, attacking people's weak points.

The dark guard gradually lost his patience, and his strikes lost sense. Chu Qing got a slap, and when he fell to the ground, he used his strength to escape the attack range of the dark guard, and ran away to Ah Yuan.

A Yuan was put on the edge of the cliff and was being pushed down the cliff.

Chu Qing kicked the two people who were fighting and held A Yuan tightly, but he was unable to move him to a safe place.

He could only hold him tightly, so that the hidden guard wanted to do something to A Yuan, and he had to take his life into consideration.

"Knock him out and take him back."

The voice of the person who ordered was hoarse, with a Nanliang accent.

Chu Qing stuck to A Yuan and protected him behind him, "If you dare to do something, I will jump down with him."

Behind them is Lirenya, the depth is bottomless, and maybe there is not even a whole body when they fall.

If he wanted to jump, the hidden guard would have no time to stop him, so he could only agree to his request.

They agreed, and Chu Qing got his wish, and pulled A Yuan with great effort to keep him away from the cliff behind him.

"Let's help him up."

"No need."

Carrying A Yuan forward, Chu Qing swallowed blood from the wound on his body, Chu Qing was unconscious and staggered forward.

Behind him, the dark guard made a gesture.

Grabbing A Yuan with one hand, Chu Qing dragged A Yuan away, and happened to catch another person behind him.

A Yuan was arrested and thrown away.

Chu Qing rushed to rescue him, but was punched by the hidden guard, and fell backwards on the stone tablet, rolling to the ground.

The back of his head was in pain, and Chu Qing's consciousness fell into darkness. He closed his eyes for the last time and landed on the word "Li Ren" on the stone tablet until the light and shadow finally disappeared.

Ah Yuan...

The fire was still burning, and it seemed that the fire had been contained. Chu Qing moved slightly, let go of the hand holding the general, and covered his head.

"Ayuan..."

His dry lips parted and he let out a hoarse voice.

Outside the house, Chu Tingyue only heard the general's roar, but couldn't get any answer from Chu Qing. He frowned and kept urging the Habayashi Army to put out the fire faster.

With the addition of the Habayashi Army, the speed of fighting the fire was much faster, and the fire soon became smaller.

Chu Tingyue was so anxious that he wet the quilt and put it on his body, and fell into the flames.

The commander of the Habayashi Army kept staring at him, but he didn't have time to stop him, so he put on a wet quilt and followed him into the flames.

"Chu Qing!"

Chu Tingyue yelled twice, the billowing smoke made him cough, but Chu Qing's answer did not come.

Chu Tingyue, "General!"

"Wang! Wang Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

As soon as Chu Tingyue's voice fell, the general's roar sounded. Chu Tingyue gathered his mind and walked towards the direction of the sound.

"Your Majesty! It's dangerous here, you'd better go out first, just come here!"

The commander followed up and dissuaded.

Chu Tingyue ignored him, and went straight to the direction of the voice, the commander had no choice but to keep up.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The general's cry continued to guide Chu Tingyue, but his cry became smaller and hoarse.

"Chu Qing!"

Seeing Chu Qing curled up into a ball covering his head, Chu Tingyue was terrified, and rushed forward to hug him.

"Chu Qing, Ah Qing!" Chu Tingyue called out twice, seeing that Chu Qing didn't respond, he quickly picked him up and walked out.

The commander was a step behind, and hurriedly picked up the general as well. When he got up, his back was stiff, and he almost didn't straighten up.

"Your Majesty! Commander!"

People from the Yulin Army came in one after another and helped to take Chu Qing and the general out.

The general lay down on the ground whimpering and screaming, and the veterinarian checked its condition.

Chu Qing was lying in Chu Tingyue's arms, unconscious, his hand covering his head was still on, and his expression was painful.

"Ah Qing..." Chu Tingyue stroked his cheek, and ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuanyan and Su Yuanhe rushed over, together with Yang Yunxiu, Mingyuan, and Xu Yuanzheng.

Xu Yuanzheng took the pulse, and after checking, he said it was not serious, but the thick smoke inhaled from the mouth and nose required a lot of work, so he stepped back and ordered someone to prepare medicinal materials.

Yang Yunxiu fell down beside Chu Qing, her eyes were red, and she wiped off the ashes on Chu Qing's face with a handkerchief.

Chu Qing's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes to look at Yang Yunxiu. He opened his lips several times before making a sound.

"...Auntie."

Smoke inhalation caused his voice to be hoarse and his voice was extremely low.

Yang Yunxiu paused and opened her eyes wide, "Ah Qing, you, do you remember?"

"Auntie."

Yang Yunxiu answered twice, tears kept falling.

Chu Tingyue was slightly taken aback, and tightened his grip on Chu Qing.

Qing remembered?remember him?

Chu Qing swept over the people around him, looked at their worried expressions, pulled the corners of his mouth, and called out one by one.

"Father."

Xiu Mingyuan nodded, his Adam's apple slipped, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotional fluctuations.

"Second brother, third brother."

Chu Yuanyan and Xu Yuanhe responded again and again, and Xiu Yuanhe turned his head and secretly wiped away tears.

When it came to Chu Tingyue, Chu Qing looked at him, and his eyes became wet.

"...Don't cry." Chu Tingyue wiped the tears from the corners of Chu Qing's eyes with trembling hands, and the black ash on his hands wiped Chu Qing into a little cat.

Chu Qing grabbed his hand, his voice choked up, "Go to Lirenya, look for, look for A Yuan, where is he..."

"I'll let someone go right away!"

Chu Tingyue turned his head to give instructions, and after finishing speaking, he picked up Chu Qing, hurriedly left the animal garden, and brought him back to Qinzheng Hall.
