Chapter 229 Lighting the Sky Lantern (3)
Cheng Gang looked at the sun in the sky that was about to climb into the hollow, and quickly said: "There is still a quarter of an hour until the ignition time."

"I only know that this matter has something to do with Dongfang Dance; I don't know the specifics. I will know about this matter, or it was Luo's mother who secretly sent someone to tell me after the incident, so that I could find a way to inform Miss Yu Master He, save Rouge."

"Young master... I beg you, I must save Yan Zhi, my subordinate..." Cheng Gang said but suddenly knelt down on one knee, his cold face was full of distress and pity besides anxious and worried.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu was stunned, and suddenly a thought flashed through him.

But the current situation is urgent, not the time to ask Cheng Gang.She pondered for a while, looked at Mo Bai and asked: "Accordingly, Rouge is my personal maid, and I should decide her life and death. Apart from me, even the mistress has no right to dispose of her. Wu is making such a big fuss about making a sky lantern, I think a certain adult in the imperial capital should be in charge of this matter, right?"

Mobai glanced at her, showing admiration, and then said to Cheng Gang: "Cheng Gang, you immediately take my token to Dali Temple to ask Lord Huo Pinghuo, and say that someone disregarded human life and used lynching wantonly in the imperial capital. It will cause extremely bad influence, so we must invite him to the place of execution as soon as possible."

He paused for a while, took the girl's weak and boneless hand, and said, "As for me and Xiaoyu, hurry over and stop them now."

Cheng Gang took the token, nodded, and turned to go to Dali Temple.

Mo Bai thought for a while, and suddenly blew a strange whistle, and immediately a figure in the same black clothes turned out from nowhere.

A figure flew out, and while bowing his head in salute, he called out briefly and forcefully: "Young master."

"Well, Lian Tie, go and investigate right away, who originally owned the open space five miles to the right of Dongfang Mansion, and then..."

After Mo Bai gave the order, Lian Tie immediately said, "This subordinate will do it right away."

Dongfang Yu watched the figure in black clothes disappear in front of his eyes in an instant, but fell silent in surprise.

"Mobai, do you think Huo Ping will take care of this?" Dongfang Yu followed the man's footsteps, thought for a while, and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he won't leave it alone, unless he doesn't want to sit in the position of Dali Temple Minister anymore." Mo Bai shook the girl firmly, and looked at her calm and calm face gently from the side, "little girl In other words, believe me, I will not let you have trouble, and likewise, I will do my best to keep the people you care about from trouble; only when you are happy and happy can I be happy and happy. "

Dongfangyu met his firm yet tender eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, I believe in you."

This man with a charming face has never done anything to hurt her, and he will definitely do what he said.Thinking of Dongfangyu, his restless and worried mood gradually calmed down.

Mo Bai chose a place with few people to perform lightness kung fu, trying not to disturb the people, and rushed to the temporary execution ground that Cheng Gang described.

The distance is getting closer and closer, Dongfang Yu looks at the top of his head anxiously, the time has passed, I don't know if Rouge can stand it now...

Perhaps because of anxiety, Dongfangyu seemed to be able to feel the scorching heat of the burning fire from a distance of one street away.

"Mobai..." Dongfangyu grasped the seductive man's snow-white clothes nervously and subconsciously, raised his head slightly and blinked his eyes, and said, "Can you..."

"Xiaoyu, we're here." The man patted the back of her hand reassuringly, and landed sharply with his arms around her waist.

Dongfang Yu turned his head and took a closer look. He built a simple wooden platform in the open space three feet away, and saw that the woman who was tied upside down on the wooden stick was gagged. The woman was still struggling desperately, whimpering pleadingly from time to time, because the distance was too far, and the heads of countless spectators were shaking in front of her, she couldn't see the woman's face clearly for a while.

She rubbed her eyes, quickly took a few steps forward and looked over carefully. The woman with a face full of despair and pleading was the Rouge she hadn't seen in many months.

With this confirmation, Dongfang Yu felt blood rushing up, and suddenly her throat felt a fishy sweetness. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and forcibly suppressed the fishy sweetness.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright?" Seeing her frowning and covering her lips with her sleeves, Mo Bai couldn't help asking worriedly.

"I'm fine." The girl forced a smile at him, kept her eyes on the situation over there, and said anxiously, "Let's go there quickly."

Mo Bai glanced at the crowded situation over there, gently took her hand, and then walked towards the platform full of firewood.

When he got close, Dongfangyu squeezed into the platform surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and he couldn't help being surprised and angry.

It turned out that at the very bottom of the table, Mother Luo was leading most of the maidservants in Lvyi Garden to surround the bottom of the table with her thin body, preventing those people from starting the fire. The body couldn't resist the rough tugging of those servants.

There was a gap, and someone among the servants held a torch and ignited the firewood at the bottom of the platform; not only the firewood at the bottom started to catch fire, but also someone threw a torch on the platform, because the whole body of Rouge was soaked in oil, and the fire It soon burned to her body; but Mother Luo still refused to retreat, and kept fighting with the servant while shouting to Yanzhi: "Yanzhi, hold on, miss, she will definitely come to rescue you."

Dongfang Yu looked at the flames on the stage, and his heart tightened so painfully: Rouge!
"Bah!" In the crowd, a girl in bright red clothes raised her head, took a few steps, glanced at Yanzhi surrounded by the sea of ​​flames, spat at Mother Luo, and sneered coldly: "Who?" There is no way to save her, for such a lowly servant girl who ruined my Dongfang Mansion's family style, she deserves to be lit with a sky lantern today."

"Oh, is that right? I think you should be the one who should be lit with sky lanterns, elder sister!" The voice was cold and clear, and the pitch was not high, but when the crowd heard this, they immediately made way out of the way.Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Dongfangyu slowly walked in front of the girl in a colorful dress embroidered with peonies.

"I don't know what law Rouge violated? Sister Lao, can you light her sky lantern yourself?" Dongfang Yu looked at Dongfang Wu's surprised face and asked with a smile. She seemed to be smiling friendly, but However, there was a threatening chill flowing from the corner of her eyes. Wherever she went, the people next to her could immediately feel a strong surge of evil spirit.

"You... oh, it turned out that you came back." Dongfang Wu's face returned from the initial surprise, and she glanced at Dongfang Yu coldly with sarcasm in her eyes, and her gaze fell on Mo Bai holding the hand that stopped. After a pause, he laughed and said: "I knew that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. It turned out that this is really the case. No wonder a lowly maid would dare to do such a shameful thing in my Dongfang Mansion."
