Xiutu found Xiao Yuandu, and under his reminder, Xiao Yuandu also noticed He Zhen not far away.

After the two parties met, He Zhen proposed to go back.

Xiao Yuandu didn't ask anything, just said "OK", and the group went back home.

It was not very lively when we came, and the return journey was even more dull, in stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere outside the carriage.

Su Ye and Su He looked at the silent girl, and felt something was wrong, but they didn't know what was wrong.

As a fiancée, the fifth son-in-law's performance all day long is remarkable. Although he can't be called diligent, he can be regarded as respectful. Day by day.

Before going out, the lady changed into several jumpers and skirts, and her hair bun makeup was also considered after consideration. Obviously, she also had a look forward to tonight's appointment.

How come this is so?

It doesn't look like there is a conflict, which is really puzzling.

When approaching Xuanyangli, the hustle and bustle has gone away.

The carriage was about to turn right when suddenly there was a rush of drumming. After careful study, it was found that it was coming from the nearby watchtower.

I wonder where there is fire again.

The whole city can't help carnival all night, it seems that such emergencies are inevitable.There were city patrol soldiers and guards rushing to put out the fire, so everyone didn't take it seriously.

But Xiutu called out in astonishment, Young Master, and pointed to the northeast direction: "Why does the place where the fire looks like—"

Xiao Yuandu reined in his head and looked at the corner of the night sky that was dyed orange, which was where the Dongcheng Bieyuan was located.

Staring at him for a long time, his handsome face was tense, his lips were gradually pursed into a straight line, and his deep eyes seemed to reflect thousands of emotions...

The hand holding the rein kept tightening, and the rein was almost unbearable.The mount under his crotch sensed his master's emotions, snorted uneasily, and kicked back and forth on the spot.

Xiutu saw that he didn't say a word, and he wasn't moved by anyone. Only then did waves clearly appear on his face, and the little bit of struggle gradually calmed down.It's like being poured cold water on your head.

That's right, the Fifth Young Master is impatient to erase the traces of the Young Madam.

Although the Dongcheng Bieyuan was closed, it was still there after all. Wouldn't it be better to burn it down now?

When everything is burnt up, the trace of the young lady will be completely gone, and it will not prevent the fifth son from marrying a bride and starting a new life...

Just as I was thinking wildly, I heard an eager "drive!" echoing in the quiet street.

Xiao Yuandu scolded him, swung his whip fiercely, and galloped away with his horse.

Xiutu was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned the horse's head and followed closely behind.

The master and servant disappeared into the night in an instant.

The place where the fire started was indeed Xiao's Bieyuan.

This area was originally quiet and not many people lived there, but because of the special night, many people were attracted by the drumbeat of the watchtower and ran to watch the excitement. There are many people watching from afar.

The fire started fast and fast, but there was wind tonight, and the wind helped the fire again, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was blazing and the flames were soaring.

Shouts and exclamations came one after another.In front of the fire are the figures of soldiers running back and forth, carrying buckets, rattan buckets, mochi... mainly relying on water bags.

The water bladder is sewn from healthy horse or cowhide in the prime of life. It is strong and not permeable, and the water storage capacity is as high as three to four hundred catties.After filling the bag with water, tie up the mouth of the bag and insert it into a hollow bamboo tube. The three or five young men hold the bamboo tube and point it at the fire, squeeze the water bag hard, and the water will spray out to achieve the effect of extinguishing the fire.

However, with such a big fire, no amount of water bladders will help.

I can only watch helplessly as the fire spreads rapidly, expands, scratches and merges into one piece in an instant...

When Xiao Yuandu rushed to the Bieyuan, the flames had already shot up to the sky, completely illuminating the entire night sky.

Before the horse stopped, he jumped off.

He rushed to the front of the mansion and stopped, looked up and stared, those things that had been suppressed forcibly reappeared, panic and anxiety appeared on his face little by little.

Suddenly remembered something, his eyes froze, he yelled "Auntie!", and was about to rush in.

A soldier recognized him and stopped him with his arms, "Fifth Young Master! The fire is too fierce, please stay away!!"

Without a word of nonsense, Xiao Yuandu directly knocked him down.

Xiutu saw that the fifth young master kept raising his whip, and the horse under his crotch galloped so fast that he couldn't see clearly. He urged the horse to chase all the way, and when he arrived, he saw this scene, and was immediately horrified.

He hurriedly hugged Xiao Yuandu's waist from behind, and dragged him out forcefully: "Forget it, young master, forget it!"

After burning like this, it is obviously impossible to save it.

"Release!" Xiao Yuandu snarled.

Xiu Tu refused to let go of his life and death, he could not watch the fifth son go to die.

But how can he match Xiao Yuandu's strength?Fingers scratched out deep blood channels on both arms, and the confinement finally loosened a little bit.

A few more soldiers came over and worked together to stop him.Xiao Yuandu clenched his fists, exerted all his strength, and shook away all the people who blocked him.

At the last moment, Xiutu cut a water bag with a knife, splashed the water all over him, and then watched him disappear at the entrance like a whirlwind.

"Young master! Be careful!!!"

Su He and Su Ye looked at each other, and then Qiqi looked at their girl.

The fifth son left the girl on the way, and went straight to the East City Bieyuan without saying a word, that's all, so desperate to go through the flames, what's in it?
Whatever it is, it probably has something to do with Jiang Nu.

Both of them felt a little regretful, just now when the girl told the driver to turn around, she should have stopped her...

However, unexpectedly, they didn't see any embarrassment and heartache on the girl's face, as well as worries about the fifth son.

Sitting in the carriage, He Zhen watched all this happen through the half-opened window.

The fire is empty, the smoke is full, and there are crazy people...

A smile suddenly appeared on his cold and flawless face.

This smile is like the ripples in the water, swaying in circles, but it does not disappear, but gradually deepens, against the red flames, it is particularly moving.

Even her eyes were smiling.

I haven't seen her like this all night.

No, to be precise, she has never been seen like this.

He Zhen, who was smiling, sighed inaudibly: "I thought I hid it very well, and I deceived others, even myself, but when the fire broke out, my original shape appeared again."

The two maids pretended to be a girl and forced a smile on their faces, trying to comfort her: "Girl, don't take it to heart, the fifth son, he, he probably left something in it..."

He Zhen didn't respond to these words, and looked away from the other garden, looking into the distance: "The moonlight tonight is also beautiful!"

It was as beautiful as the moonlight at Gegu Temple that night.

Sigh, the smile gradually disappeared.

The pride that belonged to her hangs in the corners of her brows and eyes again.

Thick smoke was billowing, the smell was pungent, and the eyes were so smoked that it was difficult to open them.

Xiao Yuandu shuttled through the flames, and went straight to the main room based on his memory.

Along the way, all kinds of pasts with Jiang Nu repeatedly appeared in my mind.

They have been husband and wife for nearly four years, but in fact, it was only those few months when they really knew each other and slept together.

Although even the intimate agreement of these few months may be his wishful thinking, but if these few months are gone, what is left for him?
Great fear spread in my heart.

All the previous work has been abandoned, and only regrets are left.

There are no traces of Jiang Nu's life in Fufengyuan, and even the fish pond has been filled.

If Bie Yuan is no longer there, then she really must be gone.

Jiang Nu really had to disappear from his life...

Xiutu followed in wearing wet cowhide, when he heard a heart-piercing cry resounding through the night sky.
-
Open Wuzhou and compete for the city.

Gao Chesi immediately got off an old man with the appearance of a scribe.

Standing at the bottom of the steps, the old man looked up at the luxurious mansion with carved gold flowers on the door and jade ornaments on the front, stopped for a moment, and then was welcomed in by two eunuchs.

Passing through the pavilions, bypassing the mountains, rivers and ponds, we finally arrived at the most secluded corner of the mansion.

It is a bamboo building.

The bamboo building is surrounded by internal guards armed with armor, giving people a strong shock and oppression.

A search was carried out as usual, the box was returned, and the eunuch led him up to the second floor lightly.

There are many bamboos in Nanzhou, and Li and Shu often use them as houses. However, this bamboo building is different from ordinary residential buildings. wide open.

The afternoon breeze was blowing, and the gauze was flying, but there was not much coolness.

The old man waited quietly in the corridor, couldn't help but raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It was already December, and even though there was no winter in Nanzhou, it was somewhat strange to be like this.

The eunuch who went in to report came out quickly and stretched out his hand to make a petition.

The room was very quiet, save for the occasional sound of pages being turned.

The old man stepped inside and raised his eyes slightly. There was no screen in front of him, and he could see the slender figure sitting behind the long and wide desk at a glance.

Her hair is partly combed and partly pulled up, and she only wears a ring of purple gold diamond-shaped forehead ornaments. The robe is Zhongzhou style, I don't know what kind of material it is made of, and it looks like smoke and mist when viewed from a distance, just like her.It is lavender again, so it is even more mysterious.

The lower half of her face was covered by a scarf of the same color, and only a pair of misty phoenix eyes could be seen.

Those eyes just looked right at this time, the clouds and mist cleared, revealing a clear light, the upturned eye tails were like a hook, hooking people's hearts and secrets.

The old man's heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head, crossed his arms, pressed them on his shoulders, and bowed to salute: "Greetings Qi——"

"Master Jian, you don't need to be too polite." The woman said, her voice was thin but pleasant, "Sit down."
