Chapter 1968: A Big Fire

The reason they shouted was to remind this ” Captain Wu ” that he had already been impolite.

This was the n.o.ble princess of Guguo, and also the wife of the Defender General. He was just a small captain; how could he hug the princess?

However, the situation was urgent now. This ” Captain Wu ” only glanced at them with a sharp gaze as if he was giving them a deep warning. Then, he carried Lin Yuelan and walked out.

“Cough cough…” The smoke outside was really too thick. Lin Yuelan’s body was heavy, so she accidentally inhaled a few more mouthfuls of smoke and choked twice.

Jiang Zhennan tightened his grip on Lin Yuelan and asked in a low voice,” Yue ‘er, are you okay?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head gently and said,” I’m fine! We should leave this place as soon as possible!”

Jiang Zhennan nodded and continued walking with Lin Yuelan in his arms. The two girls followed behind him.

However, when they walked out of the house, the guards were all in bad shape. When they saw the captain coming out, they came forward and said,” Captain, the surroundings are full of fire. We can’t get out at all!”

Jiang Zhennan pursed his lips tightly and asked sternly,” Is no one coming to put out the fire?”

The subordinate shook his head and said,” No! Moreover, when we planned to go to the well to get water, the well was full of big stones. We couldn’t get water at all.” At this point, he said in a panic and worry,” Boss, someone deliberately set this fire, and they deliberately blocked the well water. Their goal is to burn us to death!”

Jiang Zhennan did not deny his words. Instead, he said solemnly,” We’ll protect the Princess and rush out!”

“Yes, sir!” Everyone received such an order.

The people standing outside the posthouse could see the flames soaring into the sky and the smoke billowing.

Those commoners said,” Sigh, such a big fire. Can the people inside escape?”

“That’s right.” Someone else chimed in, but her eyes darted around as she said in confusion,” I heard that the person staying in this posthouse is the most beautiful princess in the world from Longyan Country!”

“I heard that the princess of Guguo lives there! I saw them move in with my own eyes yesterday.”

” Strange, why isn’t anyone putting out such a big fire?” Someone looked around and asked in puzzlement.

“Shh, do you want to die?” Someone immediately stopped the person who spoke.” Look, who’s that?” He pointed at the person standing in the distance.

“Then…Is that the Mayor?”

“That’s right, it’s our mayor. Did you see that? The mayor didn’t even order anyone to put out the fire.”

“Then…Then…” Wasn’t that murdering the princess of the Guguo of Longyan Kingdom?

“Shh, don’t say anymore. The matter here is huge. Let’s leave quickly and not join in the fun. We don’t want to get into trouble.”

“Yes, yes, let’s hurry up and leave!”

Many sensible commoners quickly left.

The Mayor of Huaifeng City looked at the burning post station and frowned.

The advisor standing beside him asked in confusion,” Sir, don’t we need to put out the fire?”

The mayor said in a deep voice,”Let’s wait a little longer…”

“But, Sir…” The advisor seemed to be very anxious as he said,”Again…” If they waited any longer, the princess of the Guguo might really die in the house.

The mayor said seriously,” Hmph, I know my limits!”

In fact, what the advisor did not know was the real reason for the fire.

The fog in this fire had combined with something in the inn to form a kind of gas that would make people faint.

The target of the person above was Lin Yuelan, the beautiful princess of the Guguo of the Longyan Kingdom. As for the others, it didn’t matter whether they were dead or alive.

There was a secret pa.s.sage in the Courier Station that led to the outside.

As long as he waited for the right time, he would be able to bring the princess out from the secret pa.s.sage.

..

The guards inside, who were about to risk their lives to get out, quickly realized that something was wrong with them.

One of the guards shouted,” Captain, I… I feel dizzy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted.

The people beside him immediately went up to check. However, he was still breathing. However, they had to face a more serious problem. Now that everyone was in a state where they could not even protect themselves, how could they bring him out?

However, before he could finish thinking about this problem, one guard after another said that they were dizzy and then fainted.

All of a sudden, all the guards panicked.

Were they going to faint and be burned to death before they could escape?

The most important thing was that they had not escorted the princess of the Guguo out. This was a serious dereliction of duty.

Lin Yuelan frowned and said to Jiang Zhennan,” Put me down!”

Jiang Zhennan immediately understood what she meant.

Lin Yuelan squatted down slowly and examined them. She said with a serious expression,” They’ve been poisoned by the Ecstasy Mist! They are unconscious. Their lives aren’t in danger!”

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the remaining guards were relieved. However, they were faced with a bigger problem.

What about these people who fainted?

However, while they were thinking, they fell down again.

Soon, everyone collapsed, including the two girls behind them.

The only ones awake were Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.

Jiang Zhennan had taken the antidote pill, so the poison was ineffective against him.

Lin Yuelan looked at all the guards who had fallen, and her eyes flashed. Then, she said to Jiang Zhennan very seriously,” Brother Nan, no matter what you see later, don’t ask, understand?”

Upon hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Jiang Zhennan’s first reaction was to do whatever Lin Yuelan wanted.

He was terrified and uneasy.” Yue ‘er, what are you doing?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” I’m not going to do anything. I just want to save these people. Along the way, they did their best to protect me. Also, this is a scheme against us. Therefore, I definitely can’t let their scheme succeed. So, Brother Nan, what you have to do now is to protect me from the side, understand?”

Jiang Zhennan knew that he could not change Lin Yuelan’s mind after she made up her mind. Therefore, he nodded solemnly and said,” Alright!”

Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Alright, help me sit down first!”

Jiang Zhennan obediently followed Lin Yuelan’s instructions and helped her sit down. She moved into a meditative position.

Lin Yuelan closed her eyes and made a gesture that Jiang Zhennan couldn’t understand. Then, Jiang Zhennan’s pupils contracted violently.

That was because he saw a small thunderbolt that looked like a snake shooting into the sky from Lin Yuelan’s fingertip.

Then, he saw a flash of light in the originally dark sky, and a bolt of lightning resounded across the sky.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Every time Lin Yuelan’s fingertip emitted a small bolt of lightning like this, the sky would be filled with rumbling thunder.

However, when the third bolt of lightning flashed past, Jiang Zhennan’s pupils constricted again.

This was because what came out of Lin Yuelan’s fingertips were no longer small thunderbolts but small water columns.

This small water pillar shot into the sky in the darkness. In a moment, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, accompanied by heavy rain.

It was raining heavily.

The fire was instantly extinguished.

However, Lin Yuelan had already fainted in Jiang Zhennan’s arms!
