Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 294
Yunxi didn't intend to involve Jingbian Hou in what happened tonight, and specifically ordered him not to know, but Jingbianhou still knew about it.

He didn't sleep because of the fire in the south of the city, but when he heard that something happened to Yunxi, he came out overnight.

It was only when he was about to arrive at the princess mansion that he learned that all the people in the mansion had withdrawn, and Yun Xi was not in the mansion either.

It was getting late, and he didn't know where Yun Xi moved to for a while, so he had to leave in a resentment.

After tossing this trip in the middle of the night, he didn't feel sleepy anymore. He remembered the fire in the south of the city again, so he directly asked people to bring the supplies and diverted to the south of the city.

When he came to the city with a large amount of supplies, he was really taken aback by the scene in front of him.

"Zhang Cheng, what's going on! Didn't it mean that only a small area was burned?"

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there were still so many people affected by the disaster, and his anger rose immediately, and when he found Zhang Cheng, he questioned him unceremoniously.

Zhang Cheng's face was blackened from fighting the fire, and his face was ashamed.Being scolded by Hou Jingbian like this, he felt a little wronged.

The fire was about to be extinguished, but all of a sudden the whole street burst into flames.In a hurry, he also went to put out the fire himself, and naturally he didn't rush back to report.

The people who escaped from the catastrophe sat around the open space across the street.Seeing that there seemed to be some high-ranking officials coming, they all rushed over at once, and all opened their mouths to express their grievances.

Seeing this, Jingbian Hou got off his horse immediately.He was immediately surrounded by these people, and the guards, along with Zhang Cheng and others, were immediately pushed aside.

Surrounded by disaster-stricken people, the guards were not so nervous, and were not in a hurry to return to Jingbianhou's side.

"My lord, you have to decide for us! The family property I have worked hard for half my life is gone!"

"The villain's home is gone!"

"All the cloth I just came back from was not rescued! They were all burned!"

"Who the hell set it on fire! My lord, you must uphold justice for us!"

……

The crowd began to complain one after another, and suddenly a woman in thin clothes rushed towards Jing Bianhou.

She grabbed Jingbianhou's robe and cried, "My lord, help me! My child is still in the fire, please save her!"

Human life is at stake, Jing Bianhou helped the woman up without thinking too much, tore off the cloak behind him and put it on the woman, saying: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, where is your home?"

The woman didn't care about wiping her tears, she pointed to the house that was still burning on the street not far away and said, "My lord, this is the house, this is my house. My child is inside."

Hearing that Jing Bianhou didn't care too much, he snatched the bucket from a soldier not far away, and poured the cold water from the bucket directly over his head.

Only then did the guards at the other end of the crowd come to their senses, and quickly squeezed past the crowd of onlookers.

It's just that when they squeezed through the crowd, they didn't react as fast as Jing Bianhou. When they reacted, Jing Bianhou had already rushed into the fire.

"Master Hou! You can't go!"

"Master Hou, come back quickly!"

"Master Hou!"

Seeing Jingbianhou rushing into the fire like this, Zhang Cheng and several guards became anxious.

Seeing the fire that burned almost half of the house, several people were sweating profusely.

The guards even rushed into the fire.

"Quick, give me the water, I can't let Master Hou be in danger alone.

Jing Bianhou had already rushed in, and no one else would be in danger no matter what.With such a big fire, no matter how many people go in, it will not help, it will just kill them.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but stop several people.

"Master Zhang, Master Hou is inside, how can we wait here." The guards were still worried.

Seeing these officials arguing, the surrounding people quietly inquired about the identity of this so-called high official.

After learning that the man turned out to be Marquis Jingbian, there was a burst of exclamation among the people.

It turned out that it was Jingbianhou who rushed into the fire scene to save people, no wonder all these people seemed crazy.

In the eyes of these people, Marquis Jingbian is a great official.No one thought that such a big official would personally save a small commoner who had nothing to do with him regardless of the danger.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could they not believe it.This scene also moved these people very much.

The people who were still watching the excitement from the sidelines also took the initiative to join the firefighting team at this time.

When everyone's eyes were on the room where Jingbianhou was, the woman who was still kneeling on the ground crying faintly stood up quietly, quickly slipped into the crowd, and soon disappeared. .

She thought she was doing it very covertly, but she didn't know that a black figure had noticed her long ago.After she disappeared, that figure also disappeared together.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone took various utensils filled with water and poured them into the fire.It's just that the burning fire showed no sign of going out.

Zhang Cheng looked at the fire that could not be extinguished no matter what, and frowned.Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this!

He smelled a conspiracy.Immediately, he turned back to look for the woman, only to find that she was nowhere to be found.

Zhang Cheng broke out in a cold sweat immediately!There is nothing I don't understand. This is a trick someone deliberately set for Lord Hou, and that person wants Lord Hou's life!

Seeing that the fire was getting fiercer and Hou Jingbian did not come out for a long time, Zhang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, he ran out of the burned house and shouted: "Master Hou, come out quickly! going to fall."

But at this moment, Hou Jingbian in the room couldn't hear it.All his thoughts were looking for the child.Slowly, the beams of the house also caught fire, and it seemed that the house was about to fail.

He was a little anxious, and shouted again in the room: "Son, where are you? I'm here to save you. Come out quickly, and I'll take you to find your mother!"

No matter how much he called, no one answered him.He searched anxiously, but still did not see the child.He searched almost the whole house, but still found nothing.

At this moment, a slightly immature voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "There is no one here, she is lying to you. Get out quickly, the house is about to collapse!"

Jing Bianhou was taken aback for a moment, always felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and he searched the place carefully, but still did not see any children, he couldn't help but thought in his heart, could it be...?
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and ran to the door quickly.

At this moment, "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the beam in front of the door fell down, a large piece of fire blocked Jingbian Hou's way, and the door was also blocked by the fire.

People outside the door also saw that the house seemed to be collapsing, and they all panicked.Everyone rushed to the outside of the fire and shouted: "Master Hou, Lord Hou!"

"Master Hou, come out quickly!"

However, Hou Jingbian in the room heard nothing.Even if he heard it, he couldn't get out.It was a house facing the street, and the fire was coming from the back, so it was impossible to get out of the backyard.

Now that the front door was blocked again, Marquis Jingbian couldn't help but feel a little hopeless.

The situation was obviously not good at this time, Jing Bianhou was a little panicked, he didn't want to die here, he still had a lot of things to do.His Xi'er didn't know what was going on, if he was plotted and burned to death here at this time, what would his Xi'er do.

Thinking of this, the desire to live was rekindled in his heart.
