pampering wife

Chapter 167

The moon is bright tonight, and there is a lot of wind, but the opportunity to watch the lanterns is only a few times a year, so the people are still enthusiastic, but just be more careful.The carriage crossed the Royal Street, but the road ahead was blocked by the bustling people. People watching the lanterns gathered around and chattered, as if something had happened.

Junli sent people over to investigate, and within a short while there was news.

"It's some young masters who were drunk and fighting." The guard's words fell, but there was an exclamation in front of him-a bunch of flames suddenly sprang up three or four feet away in front, and spread rapidly by the wind, and in a blink of an eye there was a fire. Thick smoke rose into the sky, and the crowd watching the excitement instantly burst into an uproar, rushing towards the back one after another.

This street market is already crowded, how can the carriage move when the crowds are pouring in?The flames from the opposite side spread quickly, and someone in the bustling crowd was trampled to the ground, and the lantern in his hand instantly burned, adding to the chaos.

Under such circumstances, the carriage naturally couldn't move anymore, Jun Li's eyes darkened, and he jumped off the carriage holding Qing Mei's hand.The crowd was crowded and chaotic, and he couldn't ride alone, so he could only lead him to avoid people.Several guards also knew about the strangeness of the accident, and they guarded Junli tightly.

The imperial street was crowded with people, and the imperial court had actually arranged for patrol soldiers to put out the fire on the night of watching the lanterns. At this moment, the smoke was so thick that it naturally attracted people to come to fight the fire, creating a mess.

The fire was still spreading, and quickly engulfed the shops and houses on both sides of the Royal Street. Jun Li and the others were skilled, but with the burden of Qingmei, they would inevitably be in trouble.The thick smoke made people's eyes hurt, Junli didn't hesitate any longer, and turned around to pick up Qingmei.The street was full of panicked crowds, the houses on both sides had already been caught in the fire, there was no choice but to let the guard open the way, and he carried Qingmei on his back through the thick smoke to hide in the upper vent.

After walking on the burning roof for a long time, they finally got outside the circle of fire, and everyone was in a bit of a panic.However, before he could take a breath, dozens of thieves in black with knives surrounded him in the night illuminated by the flames, and arrows swished through the air.

Sure enough, I couldn't hold back!Jun Li sneered, the prince is really good at predicting things in some respects.

Because it was a family banquet, Jun Li had only three or four bodyguards with him, plus a few secret guards accompanying him, no more than a dozen people. Normally, Jun Li would be able to keep Jun Li safe and sound, but at this time, Qing Mei would not The weakness of kung fu, facing the siege of dozens of thieves, is somewhat stretched.

These people obviously received strict training, surrounded Junli and the others in the middle, and each guarded a section, like an impenetrable copper wall.They also seem to know Qingmei's identity, relying on her being a weak woman, they greeted her and Junli with all their vicious tricks, how could Junli allow them to hurt Qingmei, summoned a few guards to get close to each other, and the rest of them dealt with others The villain is even more disadvantaged.However, Jun Li already had some calculations in his heart, so he didn't order to break out, but just guarded a small circle and procrastinated.

The fire is getting stronger and stronger. This is the upper air outlet, and the crowd naturally wants to hide here. Obviously, the fighting here has attracted the attention of others, and even the guards have rushed over.

This gang of thieves was obviously impatient, and the attack became more and more fierce. Someone whistled from a distance, and these people seemed to have received an order to evacuate immediately.

How could Junli allow them to leave just like that?Taking the risk to go around the bustling Royal Street, and crossing the thick smoke and flames, the purpose is not to fight at this moment.The guard behind also whistled, and the three of them got Junli's signal to catch up. Junli asked the guard to escort Qingmei back to the mansion, and he also followed.

This change caught Qingmei off guard, seeing Junli's figure disappearing into the night, she immediately followed the dark guard back to the mansion.

Such an accident happened on a beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, which is unavoidably frustrating, but she has experienced the fight just now, and she also knows the danger of the other party. , Can the hidden guards of the bodyguards he raised be compared with the crown prince?not necessarily.Although the He family fell, the remaining forces are still there. If all of these are directly under the prince's command, it should not be underestimated.

The fire in the Royal Street tonight was obviously intentional. The prince dared to do this, and he was prepared for it.A few gods are fighting, and she, a helpless little spectator, seems to be unable to do anything except worry.

It was three quarters of the hour of Hai, and the palace was brightly lit, obviously the steward was strictly guarding it.Originally, Qingmei had people prepare delicious food and wine, and planned to play the moon with Junli, but now she can only walk around the courtyard with her heart hanging.Her clothes were unavoidably a little messy after being licked by the flames, Lv Zhu and Qin Qi Shu Hua urged her to change into neat clothes, seeing Qing Mei's anxious appearance, it was inevitable that she was also worried.

Time passed extremely slowly.

When Qingmei first arrived at the palace, she could still vaguely see the thick smoke from the Imperial Street, but now she couldn't see anything, presumably the guards had put out the fire.She thought of the previous hasty escape and the thrill of being besieged by thieves, and her palms were sweating.Although she could vaguely guess Junli's arrangement, she still felt that the trouble this time was caused by her wanting to watch the lantern, so she couldn't help but blame herself.

I waited for a long time with a lot of worries, but when it was nearly midnight, I still didn't see Jun Li returning.Xiaoqin couldn't see it, so she forced her to go in and rest. Qingmei also felt that such anxious waiting was not a problem. She forced herself to calm down and asked the steward to ask a few words. Of course, it was to strengthen the defense of the palace. Before seeing Jun Li's return, it's time to send someone out.

She usually didn't sleep late, after all the adventures and exhaustion, she was a little tired now, she leaned against the back of the chair and squinted her eyes, and soon fell asleep.I don't know how long she slept, she was still running away in the thick smoke in a trance, she pulled Jun Li's skirt, but she couldn't escape no matter what.Suddenly woke up, and saw Xiaoqin running in, "Princess, the prince is back!"
