Chapter 761 Fire Cut (2)
The two were ordered to leave the team together, and rode forward to inquire about news.

The guard commander ordered the team to stop advancing, take a rest for a while, and wait for the inquirer to come back before making a decision. At the same time, he arranged for people to be vigilant and look around to guard the two princesses in the carriage.

After about two cups of tea, the fire in front seemed to be getting bigger.Almost lit up the forest.

"It looks like it's on fire!" Jin Yan wondered, "Why did it catch fire in the middle of the night?"

"Who knows!" Qin Lian looked annoyed at the fire.

The commander guessed after hearing the words, "We are walking on the official road. On both sides of the official road, there are mountains and forests. Usually there are one or two families who live by hunting. It is early spring, but if there are some sparks, it can attract the mountains and forests." When it is on fire, and when the spring breeze blows, the fire will spread."

Jin Yan and Qin Lian looked at each other, but didn't speak.

At this time, the two people sent by the commander hurried back to report, "My lord, the forest is indeed on fire. Because it is dark night and there is no one to put out the fire, the fire is getting bigger and bigger."

"If we put out the fire now, will the fire be extinguished?" Qin Lian asked immediately.

The man glanced at the team and said hesitantly, "Take care of the safety of the two princesses. If we all go to fight the fire, if some bad person murders the two princesses, wouldn't it be possible to take advantage of it? Not sure if someone planned to set the fire on fire. The two subordinates didn't see anyone, only saw that the fire was not small."

"If we don't put out the fire, let's hurry up now, can we avoid the fire?" Jin Yan asked anxiously.

The man shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't. Although the forest on one side of the road is on fire, if the flame blows along the wind, the other side of the road should also be on fire soon. If we pass by, the flames will all be burned." The wind hit us, and we were surrounded by a sea of ​​flames. We couldn’t get out at all. At that time, not only will the brothers have no way to protect the two princesses, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to save ourselves.”

"Then what should we do? Do we want to go back?" Jin Yan was in a hurry, she finally came out, she hadn't seen Qin Yu yet, she didn't want to go back no matter what.

"Before the fire is still burning, leave a few people to protect us, and the rest to fight the fire." Qin Lian said.

"No, what if someone makes a disturbance and a few people can't protect the two of you? Besides, there is no water nearby to put out the fire." The commander immediately shook his head.

"Then what do you say?" Qin Lian looked at the commander, "You also said that there are Orion families on both sides of this road. What if someone's life is hurt? We will die instead of saving them?"

"This..." The commander shook his head, "The subordinates only know that there is an Orion family, but now they are in a dark place, and they can't see where they live. How to save them?"

Qin Lian frowned, as if thinking of a way.

"You two princesses, my subordinates suggest that we go back to the city! It's hard to guarantee that the fire will not burn to the north just because the wind direction changes. If something happens to you two, the three hundred brothers we escorted will all have to protect the lord. If you are unfavorable, you will die." The commander requested.

"No! I definitely can't go back!" Jin Yan immediately vetoed and said decisively.

The commander looked at Jin Yan, "Princess, the safety of you and Princess Lian is..."

"You don't need to say, I finally got out of the capital, and it's impossible for me to go back to the city." Jin Yan stopped his words and ordered, "Just do what my sister Lian said just now, keep a few people here, and leave the rest alone." They all went to find water to put out the fire."

The commander was startled, "Princess, this can't be done."

"What can't be done? I don't believe there is any blind person who doesn't know the identities of the two of us and wants to murder us? Let's see how many people in their family are enough for the emperor's uncle to behead his whole family!" Jin Yan Angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, do as I say."

The commander knew that it would not work with Jin Yan, so he looked at Qin Lian.

Qin Lian regained her comprehension for a while, turned her head and said to Jin Yan, "My thoughts just now were not right, and now it's midnight, our people should not be sent out. Besides, what he said is right, where can I find a water source to put out the fire?"

"Then what do you think? I won't go back anyway!" Jin Yan said.

"How about this! Let's not go back to the capital! But we must retreat to a safe place. This place is too close to the place where the fire is on fire. If the fire spreads, it is not safe. This is fire. When the fire encounters dry grass and firewood, it will burn. It doesn't matter who we are, it just rushes at us." Qin Lian said.

Jin Yan heard the words and looked forward, the front was already illuminated by the flames, she was also a little timid, knowing that if she forced her way, she might be swallowed by the fire and died, and Qin Yu would not be seen.She nodded, "That's it!"

Hearing this, the commander breathed a sigh of relief, and the two princesses don't need to return to the capital, as long as they retreat to a safe place.

So, he gave an order, and the team retreated five miles.

After the order was issued, the team turned around and retreated in unison.

"What if the fire here gets too big? Let's send someone to pass a message to the capital!" Qin Lian was in the car, looking back at the fiery forest. Trouble."

Jin Yan looked at the red mountains and forests, and was also a little scared, "Well, you are right, if it spreads, it will not be a one-foot-by-foot disaster." After finishing speaking, she gave instructions to the commander.

The commander nodded, and quickly sent two people back to Beijing to deliver the letter.

The team continued to retreat.

After about a cup of tea, at the end of the line, two people quietly left the line.

Half an hour later, the team withdrew to the outside of the maple leaf forest, far away from the mountain forest. Only the sky was burned red, and the rest was invisible.

The team stopped and waited in place.Everyone didn't notice that two people were missing.

Xie Yunlan and Xie Fanghua guarded the only mountain pass that could bypass the fire source, waiting for the two to pass by.

In addition to the official road, this place is a must pass.

Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan felt that since the two came to Southern Qin, they should know every terrain along the way. The fire could stop the two women, Jin Yan and Qin Lian, and the guards of the eldest princess' mansion, but it couldn't stop them either. Stay with those two people.
