Chapter 105 Raging Fire
As night falls, a black curtain covers the entire sky and a dark world descends. Only the full moon hangs high in the sky, shining its light all over the earth.

However, at this moment when almost everyone was going home, several horses were galloping on the official road. They were Gu Changting and his group who were rushing to rescue people.

The horses' hooves were running so fast that countless small insects were flying towards them. The people could only squint their eyes to see the road, and walking was very difficult. But even so, they did not slow down.

As the destination got closer, the people became more anxious, especially when they saw the flames rising into the sky from the manor and the manor burning vigorously in the dark night. They almost felt anxious enough to burst out of their bodies.

"Something's wrong! Speed ​​up!"

Finally they arrived at their destination. When Gu Changting and his companions arrived, the entire village was on fire. The fire was so big that the firefighters did not dare to get close. They could only watch as the house was swallowed up by the raging flames bit by bit.

"Where are the people? Where are the people in this village?"

Gu Changting jumped off the horse without waiting for it to stop, and anxiously asked the onlookers who had just put out the fire and were now watching the fire.

"Our Third Young Master is still in there! Our Third Young Master is still in there! Help him! Help him!"

"Help! Help! Please, everyone, save my Third Young Master!"

"Oh my God! What shall I do?"

But before anyone could answer, the people who had escaped from the fire in the nearby village started crying and shouting, sobbing and crying their hearts out. If the people nearby had not stopped them, many of them would have rushed into the fire to save people.

If something happened to this master, those servants who survived would not be able to escape from harm. However, given the favor that the masters of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion showed to the Third Young Master, they would definitely be skinned alive.

So these people were really crying and they really wanted to rush into the fire to save people.

"I asked people, but they don't know where Shu... is. They only know that this afternoon, two servants around Meng Xichen brought back someone, but they don't know who it was."

Just as Gu Changting was anxiously trying to find out the whereabouts of Shu Yunfu, Li Xuan had already found a clue, but this clue was not good news.

"Anyway, after entering Meng Xichen's yard, they didn't come out again. The fire also started in Meng Xichen's yard. Meng Xichen didn't come out, so I guess she was the same. They must have all been trapped in the fire."

"But this fire is too..."

The fire was too big, and it was probably going to be disastrous. Thinking of such a beautiful woman being buried in the sea of ​​fire, Li Xuan looked a little unhappy. The Duke of Protectorate Mansion...

"The Duke is in danger!"

He had only said half of his words when a figure beside him rushed into the sea of ​​fire, accompanied by Qixian's exclamation.

"Is he crazy!"

Seeing Gu Changting's figure disappear in the sea of ​​fire, Li Xuan was completely unable to conceal his shock. A son of a wealthy family should not sit in a dangerous hall. Does Gu Changting know what he is doing?
He is the Duke of England, the master of the entire Duke of England Mansion, and he shoulders the responsibility of the entire Duke of England Mansion. Now, for the sake of a woman, he actually rushed into the sea of ​​fire without caring about his own safety. This woman is Gu Changheng's concubine.

His sword-like eyebrows moved slightly. Is this still the calm, steady, wise and calm Gu Changting he knew?

Gu Changting didn't know about Li Xuan's thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't bother to care. At this moment, he was anxiously looking for Shu Yunfu in the fire scene. The blazing fire made his skin burn, as if he was in an oven, and his whole body was on fire. The air was hot and filled with thick smoke, and he kept coughing and couldn't breathe.

Even though two large buckets of clean water had been poured on him before he came in, and even though he was completely wet, in this blazing fire, the water vapor on his body was evaporating and disappearing at a very fast rate.

Even if the wet towel covering your mouth and nose can block some of the thick smoke, it will still be uncomfortable to breathe.

But these are not the biggest problems, they can all be overcome and endured. The biggest problem is that the fire is too big and Gu Changting can't recognize the road conditions at all.

The Duke of Huguo's Mansion is a wealthy family, and the farm outside the city is naturally not small. Now the fire is so big that everything you look at is fire, and you can't even recognize the road.

Even though Gu Changting asked the servants in the manor about the specific terrain of the manor, he still lost his way in the fire and could only walk by feeling.

He ran at the fastest speed in the fire, dodging various objects falling from the side, and finally arrived at Meng Xichen's yard. Looking at the house that had turned into a fireball, Gu Changting's heart sank.

"Shu Yunfu! Shu Yunfu! Are you in there? If you are, answer me!"

"Gu Changting! I'm here! I'm inside! Ahem..."

Outside the yard, Gu Changting shouted anxiously, hoping that Shu Yunfu would respond to him so that he would know that she was safe and where she was.

Fortunately, Shu Yunfu's voice was soon heard from the room. Although she kept coughing due to choking, her voice was loud and not weak, which surprised Gu Changting.

Even facing the raging flames, he did not hesitate at all. He rushed into the house with a determined look, and his figure was instantly engulfed by the flames.

"Don't do that, Duke! It's dangerous!"

Qixian, who was a step slower, watched helplessly as his own Duke rushed into the fire. He stamped his feet anxiously, clenched his fists in frustration and wanted to punch himself a few times, but he was just a little short!
But I have to say that Qixian's loyalty to his master is beyond doubt. He has really followed his master through mountains of swords and seas of fire. He just rushed forward, so there is no reason for him not to rush forward now.

But although he rushed forward, he could not get in. The fire was raging and it was like a shower on his face when he got close. He rushed forward two or three times, but each time he was blown away by the fire and could not get in at all.

This really made Qixian anxious. They clearly came in together, so why did the Duke go in while he couldn't?
Qixian was getting anxious outside, but Gu Changting in the room didn't pay any attention to him. He was just staring at the man who was huddled under the table and covered in a mess.

"Fu'er!"

"Gu Changting!"

With her arms raised to cover her mouth and nose, Shu Yunfu hid under the table. Her dirty little face had a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and the moment she saw Gu Changting, they shone with endless light.

She quickly crawled out from under the table and rushed into Gu Changting's arms. Tears flowed from her eyes like a broken faucet.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming!"
