Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 599
The towering lantern building collapsed as soon as it said it. The shelves originally made of bamboo joints collapsed layer by layer. When they collapsed halfway, they fell to one side due to the tilt of the center of gravity. Countless lanterns fell or stained the clothes of passers-by. corners, or ignited the bamboo frame, the originally beautiful lantern building from a distance has become a sea of ​​flames, and screams can be heard endlessly.

Ji Chonglian frantically wanted to squeeze into the crowd, Liuli grabbed her arm behind her and exclaimed: "Madam, you can't go over, it will burn you!"

The crowd dispersed, Pei Yan and the child were no longer visible at the moment, Ji Chonglian looked anxiously among the crowd, Liuli urged urgently: "Madam, Chief Guard Tan is the closest to the adults and the others. Saved to the side, don't jump into the fire again, it's very dangerous there..."

When Liuli said this, Ji Chonglian paused.

Yes, if she cares, she will be chaotic. Pei Yan and the children are surrounded by the guards of the general's mansion, and there are hidden guards ambush all around. When they encounter danger, they will naturally rescue them at the first moment. I can't see them right now. The person may have been moved to a safe place.

"Madam, step back quickly, or you will be stepped on by someone!"

Liuli looked panicked, and stepped back while clutching Ji Chonglian. Waves of people rushed towards her, and even though the two of them tried their best to protect each other, they were bumped into each other from time to time.

"Go, back under the tree first!"

Ji Chonglian nodded, and the two carefully avoided the running crowd, and ran back under the tree again.

Supporting Liuli's hand, Ji Chonglian stood on the stone platform under the tree, so that he could see farther and clearer.

Those lamphouses were originally connected one after the other, but now one collapsed, and the flames shot up, and soon the adjacent lamphouses were ignited, burning into a sea of ​​flames in the winter night sky, even if Ji Chonglian was a little far away I can also feel the heat waves coming one after another, making people feel anxious and anxious.

"Get out of the way quickly, the official is here to put out the fire!"

Someone in the crowd let out a violent roar, Ji Chonglian looked for his reputation, and indeed saw several groups of men and horses wearing the clothes of Wucheng soldiers and horses driving over with several water carts, pouring pots of water on the flames, but They were engulfed in flames in a moment, such a rescue could not reduce the disaster situation at all.

Some officials still understood this truth and actively arranged for the evacuation of the crowd. These lighthouses were considered destroyed, but if they were no longer in contact with any combustion source, they would always go out by themselves.

Some of the guards in the General's Mansion are around Pei Yan and the child, and some are naturally there to protect Ji Chonglian. At this moment, four or five guards have gathered around them.

Ji Chonglian only left one person, and the others ordered them to search around, and report quickly if they found Pei Yan and the children.

Time passed by, and Ji Chonglian's anxious mood did not ease at all.

If Pei Yan and the others hadn't had any accidents, they should be anxious to join him right now, but why did half an hour pass without any news.

Not long after, Ying Hong was helped back by someone. Her face was covered with dust, even half of her clothes were dirty. I couldn't help but burst into tears, "Ma'am, I thought I would never see you again!"

"What's wrong with you, how did you get all dirty?"

Liuli rushed over to meet her, took Yinghong from the guards, and wiped her face with a handkerchief, "Are you with the adults and the others, do you know where they are right now?"

"I was with them at first," Ying Hong was still crying, and slowly stopped crying, "But at that time, there were so many people that crowded me away, and I couldn't see the figure of the adults when I turned around. Someone stepped on my ankle, and it still hurts badly!"

Ji Chonglian listened intently to what Ying Hong said, and asked again: "Tan Guard Chief and the others have been protecting you all the time?"

"Yes," Yinghong sniffed, nodded with red eyes, "The lamp tower hadn't completely fallen down yet, the head of the guard Tan and several guards in the mansion protected the adults and they retreated. The servant girl walked a little Slow down and get separated from them."

"That is not bad!"

Only then did Ji Chonglian breathe a sigh of relief. According to what Yinghong said, Pei Yan and the others should be safe, at least they will not be affected by the fire from the collapsed lamp building, and they should be in a safe place now.

But why can't anyone be found?
Ji Chonglian suddenly remembered the voice she heard, and that stare that seemed to be hostile and visiting. She always felt that all this happened very strangely, as if it was premeditated.

But who will it be?
At the moment her head is also in a mess, she can't figure out a clue, so she can only order Liuli to help Yinghong to sit down and rest, and then ask the doctor to see her after returning home.

The crowd waited anxiously for another half an hour before they saw a few people running not far away. The first one was An Ye, with a child clamped on each of her left and right arms. It was Sister Zheng and Sister Shuang. She relaxed and hurried to meet them.

"lady!"

An Ye's breathing was heavy, and he handed the child over almost as soon as Ji Chonglian came near.

Sister Zheng was still crying, and Sister Shuang was still in shock, she just clung to Ji Chonglian's shoulder and cried, "Mother, they caught Brother Yuan!"

"what?"

Ji Chonglian's complexion changed drastically, and she felt a little shaky in an instant. An Ye suddenly stretched out his hand to support her, "Madam is in a hurry. My lord is still there. Brother Yuan must be fine."

Ji Chonglian only felt a heart beating non-stop, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, she pressed her hand on her chest, her face panicked, she was afraid that the father and son would be in danger, and she was afraid that she would not be able to reach them in time, so she managed to stabilize herself Confused, he held An Ye's hand tightly, "What's going on, where are they, I'm going to find them!"

"Ma'am, it's too dangerous there, you can't go there!"

An Ye held Ji Chonglian's hand tightly, and said anxiously: "My lord, besides the guards of the general's mansion, there are a dozen or so dark guards guarding him. Those dark guards can fight five against one. My lord's safety should be Wuyu, although there are quite a few people over there, another group of people suddenly appeared. I observed secretly for a while, and they seemed to be helping us... The two sides are still confronting each other. Go, adults must be distracted!"

"But how do you want me to calm down?!"

Ji Chonglian bit her lips tightly, her face was as pale as snow, "If Brother Yuan has any accident, I..."

"lady!"

An Ye held Ji Chonglian's hand tightly, and looked straight at him, like a sharp blade, but with a shocking power, "You have to believe my lord, Brother Yuan is his life, even if he doesn't care about anything I will definitely rescue Brother Yuan safely!"
