"There is no gain in seeking the skin of a tiger."

Chu Yi sighed softly and subconsciously touched the sword at his waist, but it was empty. Then he remembered that the sword given by his father had been given away by him.

As we all know, when the late emperor was still alive, he loved King Kang, his youngest son. Not only did he repeatedly propose to change him to a crown prince, he also gave him the best fiefdom, food, and military power in the northwest, so that King Kang became powerful.

Although his father has successfully ascended the throne, his foundation is particularly unstable and he is severely constrained by the civil and military ministers.

If King Kang formed an alliance with the Yue people, it would be tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. The Yue people were very ambitious. If they were given an opportunity, it would only shake the foundation of the country.

Chu Yi knew very well that King Kang and the people of Yue did not trust each other, so he took advantage of this to set up this situation, making the people of Yue suspicious of King Kang, and completely ending the possibility of their alliance.

Chu Yi raised his chin and looked at the direction of the fire without blinking, with blood faintly moving in his pupils.

His half-bundled black hair was blown by the wind, and a few strands of hair were messy and covered his cheeks. His white clothes were fluttering, as if he was about to ride back in the wind at any moment.

"According to me, it should be dog bite dog!"

Xiao Shi clapped and laughed, looking at Chu Yi with reverence.

Danyang City can be called the gateway to the capital, and King Kang finally placed He Zhifu in this position, and he would never give up this place easily.

Everything was as the young master expected. Seeing that the young master was critically ill, the magistrate immediately rushed to find the scapegoat.

The young master’s move to sow discord is truly brilliant!

He Zhifu is just a dog of King Kang, let him and those Yue people bite each other, it is best for them both to lose!

Thick smoke filled the air with the wind, and the fire was fierce and unstoppable.

"Sir, let's leave here as soon as possible," Sihai added respectfully, his ordinary face calm.

In his mind, Chu Yi's safety is the most important.

Now that the situation in Danyang City has been settled, it is time for them to return to Beijing.

Xiao Shi also echoed.

Chu Yi closed his eyes and felt the night wind blowing on his face, then opened his eyes and said: "The wind is too strong tonight..."

There is an old saying: Fire takes advantage of the wind, and the wind helps the fire.

If the wind continues, the fire may get out of control and harm the surrounding people.

"Sihai, go notify the fire department to put out the fire." Chu Yi ordered and turned around.

Sihai's pupils shrank, but he never disobeyed Chu Yi's orders. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Young Master."

Sihai jumped onto a black horse with great agility and rode towards the east.

The night wind was fierce, getting stronger and stronger every now and then, as if there was a wild beast hiding in the darkness and roaring.

With the help of the east wind, the fire became more intense, and the flames shot up higher than the wall. It opened its teeth and claws, like a crazy fire unicorn, trying to devour everything it could.

The surrounding trees and shrubs also burned, and the fire quickly spread to the mansion next door...

"It's gone! It's gone!"

Xiao Shi shouted loudly and beat the gongs and drums. The "dang-dang" sound of the gongs was particularly harsh in the silent night.

The people in the government office and the people on the street finally woke up from their sleep and shouted, and the whole street became commotion.

"It's gone!"

"The fire is coming, everyone run away!"

"Such a big fire cannot be extinguished..."

"I'm afraid all the houses on this street will burn down..."

The people nearby shouted and rushed to leave.

After a while, people escaped from the houses around the government office one after another. Some were pushing carts, some were carrying baggage, and some were crying endlessly...

In the chaos, a three- or four-year-old girl ran over barefoot, stumbling, calling for her parents in a panic.

The little person ran and looked around helplessly. It was obvious that he had become separated from his family.

"Ouch!"

The little girl accidentally tripped over a stone under her feet and fell to the ground.

A large area of ​​her face was blackened by the smoke, tears fell from her red eyes, and she burst into tears: "Dad, mother, my daughter hurts..."

"Little girl, can I take you to find your parents?" A gentle and pleasant male voice suddenly came from above the head.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and raised her head. What caught her eyes was a handsome and picturesque face.

The young master is dressed in white as snow, and his temperament is elegant, unlike ordinary people.

"Big brother..." The little girl opened her mouth slightly and handed her hand to him obediently.

"Zizzi..."

Directly above them, a section of burnt branch suddenly broke and fell from mid-air like a huge torch, with countless sparks crackling and blooming.

Xiao Shi, who came back with the gong, saw this thrilling scene from a distance and screamed: "Master!"

He was too far away and couldn't react in time. He could only watch the burning branch approaching Chu Yi, and then getting closer...

Of course Chu Yi could avoid it, but this little girl who was less than three feet tall couldn't avoid it. He raised his hand to block the girl's head, and a few scattered sparks fell on his snow-white sleeves...

Suddenly, a strange demonic wind suddenly rose up, blowing up the burning branch, as if an invisible big hand forcefully pushed it forward one foot.

"Bang!"

The burning branch fell on the ground in front of Chu Yi, and a few wisps of burning flames clung to the toes of his shoes.

Sparks flew everywhere, burning several small holes in Chu Yi's snow-white cloak.

All this happened in a flash of lightning.

Xiao Shi was only seven or eight steps away from Chu Yi, so he naturally saw this strange scene. His eyes were wide open, dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe what he had just seen.

There was an eerie silence all around, as if time had stopped passing.

"Brother Immortal, you are Brother Immortal!" the little girl clapped and smiled.

Chu Yi suddenly didn't hear it. He only felt a burning sensation in his sleeves and was startled.

He thought of something, and took out a red brocade bag from his sleeve. His tentacles were hot, and his slender fingers gently picked up the drawstring at the mouth of the brocade bag, and shook it again.

Ashes as thin as cotton wool floated down from the brocade bag, and the next moment, they disappeared with the wind...

With a "click" sound, another section of burnt branches fell down at the end of the alley.

"Sir," Xiao Shi rushed to Chu Yi in three steps at a time, his eyes widened, and he kicked away the burning branch and stammered, "Then...

That peace talisman..."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it and wouldn't dare to believe it. This is too incredible!

Chu Yi looked thoughtfully at the red brocade bag in his hand.

There was chaos all around and fireworks were rising into the sky.

Other people on the street were either running for their lives or busy putting out the fire, and didn't pay attention to what was happening here.

People came to put out the fire one after another, pouring bucket after bucket and basin after basin of water into the sea of ​​flames.

Unfortunately, it is a drop in the bucket.
