When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 299

"Mother, are you okay?" Seeing his mother's pale face, Brother Chao couldn't hold back after all, pushed her hand away from his mouth, and asked her in a low voice.

Chu shook her head and pressed a finger on his lips.

Although Brother Chao was young, he ran around with his mother that night, watching his mother tremble, and felt something was wrong.

He thought, his aunt's game is really good, even his mother keeps playing it so seriously.

Compared with him, Chu's thoughts were much more complicated. She pursed her lips and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands.It is actually not difficult for normal people to climb over this mountain, and a whole night is enough.But it takes more effort for her to bring up a child like this.Although she has used these little tricks to escape the search, there will be another time.

If that person didn't find traces of himself in another direction, he would definitely search the mountain vigorously.

According to her sister-in-law, she still needs to bypass the city at the foot of the mountain.She couldn't go around in an open and aboveboard manner, if someone was sitting on the sidelines at the foot of the mountain, she would really be in a trap.

Thinking of this, she turned her head carefully, and after making sure that there was no one around, she got up and left with the child.

……

General Fang searched around, but couldn't find any hairs.There was a trace of despair in his heart, could it be that he was wrong in his judgment?In fact, Mrs. Chu is such a person who is so stupid that he can't even pick up a pair if it falls on the ground?
After he went down the mountain, he came to a nearby town, and the soldiers guarding the mountain also said they didn't see anyone.

"F*ck! Can this person disappear?" General Fang cursed, and his mind turned. Since she didn't come this way, she just walked around the mountain, or she is still on this mountain.He called for someone, "set fire and force people out."

"Ah?" The guard was stunned, "General, this burning mountain..." It's not something people do.

"What are you afraid of? I'll take care of it if something goes wrong! Besides, what else is there on this mountain besides flowers and plants?" General Fang curled his lips, urging him to act quickly.

"But general, what if he is burned to death?" The guard still hesitated.

This is on point.

General Fang scratched his head, if he searched again...it wouldn't be a problem, at most it would be a waste of time.If the Chu family is on this mountain, it's okay, but what if she has already crossed this area and left a big mountain?

"Well, keep looking with that mountain as the boundary!" She shouldn't be able to walk too fast as a woman, let alone with a child.

With an order, everyone searched for it one after another.

But the sky was not as expected, the more General Fang wanted to find the Chu family, the more he couldn't find anyone.

At night, General Fang held the torch and stared at the mountain in front of him.

The fire made his face warm red, but his eyes were still sharp enough to pierce the mountain.

"Set it on fire! Force people out!"

The soldiers who had been looking for the whole day were also tired. Although they still had doubts about this move, they thought that if they doubted it again, it would definitely be another day of climbing tomorrow.So they looked at each other and decided to follow General Fang.

The place where General Fang is going to set fire is between the second mountain and the first mountain,
Since the beginning of the search, he has already sent people to station on the mountain range of the second sitting mountain.This second mountain range was untouched, and no one was seen passing by.Therefore, he dared to conclude that the Chu family's mother and son must have not left this first mountain!

A cluster of small but warm flames silently devoured a fallen leaf, and then spread all the way, devouring a branch.Gradually, it spread upwards like a wild beast that didn't know how to be full.

……

Gunpowder, how could he have gunpowder?

Cheng Muqing took the stone and made a scratch on the wall.

I remember reading in a book that this gunpowder seems to be derived from alchemy.

Alchemy...

Could it be?To a Taoist priest?
By the way, when she saw Yang Shurui's face, she thought of him.They look so much alike.Especially those eyes, it was like coming out of a mother's womb.

Now this gunpowder appears again.

Could it be that Taoist Xiang is his biological father?

Cheng Muqing slept for a day and a night since he came back last night, but now he is very energetic.She was sitting on the couch, with various refreshments and fruits on the small tea table beside her.

She felt chills all over her body, and her brain quickly connected the two together.

The originally dark room suddenly lit up with fiery red.Cheng Muqing squinted his eyes, the light came through the window.

The light was hot and bright, illuminating the whole room.

Cheng Muqing stayed on the bed, went to the window and pushed it open.

The guard standing outside the window quickly put his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking on guard.

Cheng Muqing was used to their way of guarding prisoners.She stretched her neck and looked straight at the direction of the light.

That's... the direction my sister-in-law left!
Thick smoke billowed, and large pieces of fire fell into her eyes.

Her face was pale, and she grabbed the guard beside her, "What are you doing?!"

"How would I know?" The guard frowned, very dissatisfied with her behavior.If the prince hadn't refused, he really wished he could tear the woman in front of him to pieces!

Cheng Muqing let go of him, feeling that everything in front of him was in a trance.

sister-in-law...

The fire is the most ruthless, but it burns up the whole mountain in a short time.Another gust of east wind blew up, and the fire spread all the way down. The sparks jumped to the thatched cottages of the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and burned instantly.

"It's flooded! It's flooded! Go put out the fire!"

The guard's shout came from not far away.

"Hey, aren't you going to put out the fire?" Cheng Muqing had already regained her composure. She clasped her fists and leaned against the window.

"Our duty is to guard you." The guard looked indifferent, "Of course we won't stop what we shouldn't do."

"Well, I did my duty." Cheng Muqing nodded repeatedly, and finally couldn't help applauding.

The flames filled the sky, mercilessly devouring the pitch-black night.

Cheng Muqing stood quietly, looking at the sky.Maybe it was because she was so enthralled that she didn't even know when Yang Shurui arrived.

"Your Highness." The two guards guarding the window saluted him.

Yang Shurui was wearing the golden mask, and he walked slowly to the other side of the window, looking at her.

"Are you worried about your sister-in-law?"

"Can you not worry?" Cheng Muqing simply sat on the window coffin.

"General Fang set fire to that mountain in order to force your sister-in-law to show up." Yang Shurui said lightly, "Are you regretting it now? It's all because of you, the Chu family may have been burned to ashes...even with that Little boy." His voice trailed off, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Everything has risks, but...is it because of the risks that you don't do it?" Cheng Muqing looked back, "Just like you, you also know that you may fail to revive the country, but you still choose, don't you?" ?”

Yang Shurui fell silent.

"I know that my sister-in-law may have an accident on the way to escape, and I also know that I may be killed, but I will not give up, even if there is only a little chance, I will not give up."
