Chapter 180: A Fire(1/2)
In the Longyan Kingdom Palace, the old emperor sat in the imperial study room and frowned when he saw the memorial on the desk table. In front of him were the prince and several ministers.
"Your Majesty, what does this Aduo Chai Kingdom mean? A few years ago, I just married the Ninth Princess to their king as a princess to maintain good relations between the two countries. Do you want to destroy this kind of peace now? He actually joined forces with Wuyun Kingdom and gathered troops on the borders of our country. Is he planning to attack?" A minister said angrily.
"But the most angering thing is probably the most shameless Wuyun Kingdom?" Prime Minister Chen was also furious. "As soon as the princess of Guguo entered Wuyun Kingdom, they were tangled in the border. What do they want to do? Are they trying to attack our court?"
"Strange, didn't it mean that the Emperor of Wuyun Kingdom was seriously ill and his life was in danger?" Someone said in confusion, "But why can they still think of attacking our court at this moment?"
"Yeah, that's it. When rumors spread all over the world, it was said that the princess of Guguo was betrayed and violated her promises, which made the world laugh. But now the princess of Guguo have kept the promise and went to Wuyun Kingdom, so what does it mean to do this? Ingratitude? Are you not afraid of laughing at the world?"
"Hmph, I see that those rumors were spread by them. It is obvious that the purpose is to attract the Princess Guguo to come and then to use the Princess Guguo as a hostage. You must know that the Princess Guguo is not only the identity of Princess Guguo, but also the identity of the General of Zhenguo. The General is so fond of Princess Guguo, maybe the Emperor Wuyun wants to capture Princess Guguo as a hostage and threaten the General to submit."
The more they talk, the more they feel that this is the truth.
"However, even if the general loves the princess of Guguo, he cannot ignore the safety of the country. The general is a kind and righteous person."
"That's right. The general is very kind and righteous. It's impossible for me to be in danger for my entire dynasty for my own selfishness."
"Your Majesty, since Aduo Chai Kingdom and Wuyun Kingdom have joined forces and have the intention to attack our dynasty, we should prepare as soon as possible and call the general of Zhenguo back!"
"Yes, yes, call the general of the country back!"
These ministers who shouted to call back the general of Zhenguo, had no idea that the general of Zhenguo had already followed Princess Guguo Lin Yuelan to Wuyun Kingdom.
The old emperor did not expect that Wuyun Kingdom would be so despicable and shameless.
They actually secretly united with the neighboring Aduo Chai Kingdom, intending to attack the Dragon Banquet Dynasty.
But what worries him was that in order to protect Lin Yuelan's safety, Jiang Zhennan disguised himself as his secret guard Wu Ming, and followed Lin Yuelan to protect him.
Now he has to notify him to return, the journey is long, and I don’t know if it will delay things.
However, from the moment, we secretly inform Jiang Zhennan to come back first, and the fake Jiang Zhennan went over and resisted first. At that time, they would be able to change their identities.
Thinking of this, the old emperor suddenly asked the prince and said, "Crown Prince, what do you think?"
The prince responded, "Father, my son minister has the same idea as all the adults. Call the general back first. Only the general can deal with emergencies in various wars on the frontier at any time!"
The old emperor nodded and replied, "Well, what you said makes sense!"
Although there has been no war in recent years, Jiang Zhennan has never relaxed in the war and defense of the frontier.
Since he has been with Lin Yuelan in Taoyuan Village over the years, he has a clear understanding of the situation in the border areas.
The old emperor immediately said, "Then call the general back!"
...
"Ah, no, it's a fire, it's a fire!"
Looking from a distance, the Huaifeng City Inn was filled with smoke and white fog, which was very frightened!
"It's a fire, put out the fire!"
In the inn, people were in a mess, and they were yelling, showing panic on their faces.
As soon as Jiang Zhennan learned of the fire, he quickly ran to Lin Yuelan's room.
"Yue'er, are you okay?"
"Ahem..." Lin Yuelan choked a few times by the smoke. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine!"
Then he asked, "What's going on outside?"
Jiang Zhennan Road, "There is a fire outside. Let's go, I'll take you out now!"
With the fire in the face of the fire, Jiang Zhennan didn't care about his hidden true identity. He held Lin Yuelan's waist in his hand and planned to take Lin Yuelan out.
The two girls who rushed over from behind were surprised and puzzled when they saw their actions, and shouted loudly, "Captain Wu!"
Their yelling meant that they intended to remind the "Captain Wu" that he was now rude.
This noble princess Guguo and the wife of the general of Zhenguo. How could he hug the princess, a small captain?
However, the situation is urgent now, and the "Captain Wu" just glanced with a sharp look, as if there was a deep warning, but then he hugged Lin Yuelan and walked outside.
"Ahem..." The smoke outside was too big. Lin Yuelan was bulky and accidentally got a few more breaths of smoke and choked twice.
Jiang Zhennan's hand holding Lin Yuelan couldn't help but tighten. He asked in a low voice, "Yue'er, how are you?"
Lin Yuelan shook her head gently and said, "I'm fine! We'll leave here as soon as possible!"
Jiang Zhennan nodded, hugged Lin Yuelan and continued walking forward, and the two girls behind him followed directly.
However, after walking out of the house, the guards were full of anxiety. After seeing the captain come out, they came forward and said, "Captain, there is fire around here, we can't get out at all!"
Jiang Zhennan pursed his lips tightly, and he asked fiercely, "Is no one here to put out the fire?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "No! And when we were planning to go to the well to draw water, the well was full of big stones and there was no water at all." Speaking of this, he said in extreme horror and worry, "Boss, someone deliberately released this fire, and they also deliberately blocked the well water. Their purpose is to burn us to death!"
Jiang Zhennan did not deny his words, but said seriously, "We will rush out with the princess Guguo!"
"Yes!" Everyone received such an order.
Those who stand outside the inn can see the fires soaring into the sky and the smoke rolling.
The common people said, "Oh, can the people here escape with such a big fire?"
"Yes." Someone next to her echoed, but her eyes were lingering around and she said in confusion, "I heard that the inn is the princess of Guguo who is the most beautiful woman from Longyan Country!"
"I'm not hearing that, it's just that the princess of Guguo lives in it! I saw them living in it with my own eyes yesterday."
"Strange, why didn't anyone go to put out the fire with such a big fire?" Someone looked around and said in confusion.
"Shh, are you dead?" Someone immediately pulled the person talking, "Look at who it is?" He pointed to the person standing in the distance.
"Then...that's the prefect?"
"That's right, it's Lord Prefect. Did you see that, Lord Prefect didn't even give the fire?"
"Then...then..." Isn't that murdering the Guguo princess of Longyan Kingdom?
"Shh, stop talking. I see that the matter is getting big, so we should leave quickly. Don't join in the fun, don't cause trouble then."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go!"
Many tactful people left quickly.
The prefect of Huaifeng City looked at the inn where the fire was soaring into the sky, and his brows were frowning tightly.
The master standing next to him asked in confusion, "Sir, don't we need to put out the fire?"
The prefect said in a deep voice, "Let's wait..."
"But, sir..." The master said anxiously, "Another..." If you wait any longer, the princess of Guguo really could die in the house.
The prefect said seriously, "Hmph, I know the right way!"
In fact, what the master didn't know was the real reason for the fire.
The fog in this fire is combined with something in the inn, and it will form a kind of thing that will make people faint.
The target of the person above is the stunning beauty, the princess of Long Yan Guoguo, Lin Yuelan. As for the others, whether they die or live is irrelevant.
There is a secret passage in the inn courtyard that leads directly to the outside.
Just wait for the right time and bring this Princess of Guguo out of the secret passage.
...
The guards inside who were trying to fight for their lives soon discovered something was wrong with them.
A guard shouted, "Captain, I...I'm dizzy!"
As soon as the words fell, he fainted.
The people next to him went up to check immediately, but they were still breathing, but they had to face even more serious problems. Now everyone is in a state of difficulty in protecting themselves, so how can they take people out?
But before he could finish thinking about this question, he immediately followed by a series of guards saying they were dizzy and then fainted.
In a moment, a large area fell.
This made all the guards panic.
Are they about to faint and burn to death before they escape?
Most importantly, they seem to have not escorted the Princess Guguo out yet, which is their serious dereliction of duty.
Lin Yuelan frowned and said to Jiang Zhennan, "Put me down!"
Jiang Zhennan immediately understood what she meant.
Lin Yuelan slowly squatted down and checked them. She said with a serious expression, "They were caught in a fog! They were just sleeping, but they were not in danger of their lives!"
Hearing Lin Yuelan's words, the remaining guards were much more at ease, but they were facing bigger problems.
What should I do if these fainted people?
But in their thoughts, they fell down again.
Soon, everyone fell down, including the two girls following behind them.
The only thing sober is Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.
Jiang Zhennan had taken Xiedu pills, so these poisons were ineffective on him.
