Chapter 119 Arriving in time
Jun Yanci closed his eyes, took a deep breath, circulated the internal energy in his body, and calmed his suddenly rising emotions.

Things have come to this, he needs to calm down.

There is food stored in Qingcheng City, so it should be enough to last for a few days.

However, the intensity of this wildfire is the most uncontrollable, and I don’t know whether it has already burned to Qingcheng.

"How far is Huicheng from here?"

Jun Yanci had to rush to Huicheng as soon as possible to release the flood water.

Jiang Xiubai was stunned for a moment. Isn't this a coincidence?

"This is Huicheng."

"Order the prefect of Huicheng to release the floodwaters immediately."

Jun Yanci was brief and clear, unwilling to waste any more words.

Jiang Xiubai did not question it, and first ordered his followers to call the prefect of Huicheng.

Then ask what exactly happened.

When Jiang Xiubai heard that the forest in Qingcheng was on fire, his brows suddenly furrowed. He naturally knew the power of forest fire, but he could not have imagined that such a big thing would happen in Qingcheng.

But even if no news came out of Qingcheng, the surrounding towns should have seen it. How come no one reported it to Shangyang City for seven whole days?

When Jiang Xiubai was wondering, he saw an unexpected person.

The prefect of Huicheng arrived at the backyard, and the person following him was Shui Lin, the first aide of the Regent's Palace.

Jiang Xiubai's eyes sank. Although he had been practicing martial arts in Tianqing Sect since he was a child, it did not mean that he knew nothing about the affairs of the palace.

Especially this powerful official Shui Lin, who was specifically responsible for handling Jiang Renxuan's secret dealings, all of which were shameful.

Since he appears here
"Your humble servant Song Zhi, the prefect of Huicheng, greets the prince."

Song Zhi was kneeling on the ground, cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead, and he was visibly nervous.

This is really a weird thing. You know, their city belongs to the border of Xiyuan, and it is rare to see dignitaries there.

First, there was Jiang Xiubai, the son of the regent who had great power in the court, and then there was Shui Lin, the most famous powerful official in Shangyang City.

"I pay my respects to the prince."

Shui Lin said he was meeting Jiang Xiubai but he didn't even bow. He just nodded slightly to Jiang Xiubai.

Jiang Xiubai had long been accustomed to his attitude and didn't take it seriously.

"Prefect Song, the forest fire in Qingcheng has been burning for seven days. The situation is very dangerous. We need to order people to go to the dam immediately to release water and save people."

After Prefect Song stood up, he first looked at Shui Lin timidly, stammering.

"Sir, without the imperial decree, I have no right to make the decision."

It takes three days to travel from Huicheng to Shangyangcheng by water.

According to Jun Yanci, the wildfire has been burning for seven days and it may have already spread to Qingcheng. The situation is critical. How can we wait any longer!
Shui Lin stood beside Prefect Song, glanced at him calmly, then continued:
"Sir, where did you hear this groundless news? I just came from Shangyang City the day before yesterday and have not heard of any incident in Qing City."

Jiang Xiubai looked at Shui Lin face to face, and after seeing his eyes, he understood that this must be what his father meant.

Even if he wanted to kill the Crown Prince of Eastern Jin, he is already here.

Now the people who are going to be burned to death by this fire are the people of Qingcheng and Xiyuan!

What's more, Yun Qianyi is here
"Shui Lin, this is the life of everyone in the city."

There was a warning in Jiang Xiubai's words, but the other party was not afraid at all and smiled instead.

"My Lord, you are not in Shangyang City, but Concubine Jin is always under my care. Last month, I heard Concubine Jin was thinking about you. Now that you have returned to Xiyuan, you should hurry back to fulfill your filial duty."

Shui Lin's sudden change of tone showed concern on the surface, but was actually a threat.

Jiang Xiubai's hands behind his back suddenly tightened, veins popping out. Just as Shui Lin was showing a proud look, his neck was suddenly grabbed by a hand, his feet were off the ground, and his whole body was lifted up. His face was flushed, and a feeling of suffocation instantly invaded.

Jun Yanci's eyes were filled with murderous rage, like the god of death from hell. He ignored Shui Lin's panicked look and looked leisurely at the frightened Prefect Song.

"My eyes are not like dye vats, they cannot contain all the different expressions you and others have. Take me to the dam right now. If anything happens to my people in Qingcheng, I, the Eastern Jin, will crush you, the Western Yuan!"

His sickly appearance could not conceal his beauty, and what it could not conceal was Jun Yanci’s murderous aura.

When Shui Lin heard the word "Ben Gong", he immediately realized that this person was actually the crown prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? !

How did he appear here? How did he get out? Shouldn't he be waiting to die in Qingcheng?
Prefect Song couldn't stop nodding and immediately ordered people to prepare the horses, but Jun Yanci grabbed him by the back of the collar with one hand and flew him away with his lightness skill.

Shui Lin was thrown to the ground casually by him and saved his life.

The change happened in just a moment, and Jiang Xiubai seemed to see the former Yun Qianyi in Jun Yanci.

She was also so swift and decisive, without further ado, she just used force to resolve the issue.

Simple, brutal, and effective.

The aura of looking down on the crowd and the arrogance of an emperor.

Jiang Xiubai glanced at Shui Lin, who was gasping for air and coughing on the ground, with disgust in his eyes, then he quickly followed the direction Jun Yanci left.

As soon as we reached the dam, we saw the water begin to slowly release, gradually pouring out, falling like a waterfall, straight towards Qingcheng.

-

庆城
As night fell, flames shot up into the sky, making the capital city, which was supposed to be shrouded in darkness, as bright as day.

Yun Qianyi was covered in sweat, and the scorching hot breath of the fire rushed straight into her face.

God was kind to them after all. The wind always blew in the opposite direction, and the fire that originally burned into Qingcheng was delayed for three hours before it reached the city gate.

All living things on this mountain have been burned to death, and the next ones to go are humans.

"Miss Yun, let's go into the city!"

Meng Chen's face was red and there were signs of burns on his hands.

He had been leading his soldiers in fighting fires and had never retreated once, so it was inevitable that he would get injured.

Yun Qianyi looked at them, picked up the bucket in his hand, and said:
"Hold on a little longer."

The whole day of non-stop firefighting made it difficult for her to even speak.

Meng Chen was extremely anxious and was about to speak to persuade them again when Xuan Liu jumped down from the top of the city gate.

He was full of joy and said to Yun Qianyi:

"Miss Yun! The water is coming!"

Xuan Liu is the one with the highest martial arts skills among them, and naturally his internal strength is also the strongest. He has already heard the sound of the surging water.

Yun Qianyi looked at the direction Xuan Liu was pointing, with hope in his eyes.

Sure enough, in less than half a quarter of an hour, a huge stream of water rushed straight to the foot of the mountain, blocking the spreading forest fire outside the city.

The fusion of water and fire formed thick fog-like water vapor, making Yun Qianyi unable to determine whether there was a human figure in the distance.

Until she heard that familiar voice, penetrating the mist, with anxious worry.

“Qianqian!”

Yun Qianyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was fine.

If he hadn't held on to this breath, Yun Qianyi would have collapsed long ago.

Just as she saw the face she had been thinking about day and night, she was about to take a step forward, but her legs went weak.
