Liu Yijin ran crazily in the darkness. He wanted to shout, but found that it was like a stone was pressing on his chest. No matter how much he shouted, there was no sound.
The surrounding firelight illuminated Liu Yijin's face, and he could clearly hear the shrill shouts emerging from the firelight.
The sound filled his mind, and tragic scenes seemed to appear before his eyes.
There are old people and children covered in fire, as well as struggling men and women.
The entire Jiming town was in flames.
"Liu Yijin, you can't go there!" Qingluan blocked him with cold eyes.
"Get away! I want to save people!"
Qingluan's eyes flashed with cold light: "I can't watch you die!"
"I can't die. If I don't save myself from death, what's the difference between me and those people of Maitreya Buddhism!"
"Liu Yijin, do you know..."
Liu Yijin punched Qingluan: "Get out of my way!"
Qingluan didn't expect that Liu Yijin would be beaten whenever he asked, so he said angrily: "You bastard, this is a conspiracy of Maitreya Buddhism!"
"But those who are caught in the fire are ordinary people. You can be indifferent, but I'm sorry, I can't!"
Liu Yijin strode towards the sea of fire.
"Liu Yijin, are you crazy?"
Qingluan stood in front of Liu Yijin: "There is no one here at all!"
"Nonsense! Then where did these voices come from? Are those who were burned to death all members of Maitreya Buddhism? Qingluan, you are a Jianghu person, and I, Liu Yijin, am not. Although I love power and money, my heart is not black. "
Qingluan frowned helplessly: "I didn't expect you to be quite kind-hearted. Aren't all those who serve in office have evil hearts?"
Seeing the ridicule on Qingluan's face, Liu Yijing was furious: "Get out of here!"
Qingluan watched Liu Yijin turn around and run towards the burning shop nearby, and casually tapped Liu Yijin.
There was a numbness, and Liu Yijin's body went limp and he collapsed directly on the ground.
"Qingluan, what the hell do you want to do!" Liu Yijin couldn't help roaring.
He slapped Liu Yijin directly on the face, causing Liu Yijin to stagger: "Shut up, if you say one more word, I will slap you until your teeth are all over the floor!"
Liu Yijin was extremely angry: "What is the difference between your behavior and that of people from Maitreya Buddhism?"
Qingluan sneered: "Reckless man! You are possessed by the evil magic of the Shadow Gate!"
Qingluan's finger directly touched Liu Yijin's forehead, and a sharp pain made Liu Yijin's brain split.
"What are you doing?" Liu Yijin was stunned. The angry expression in his eyes disappeared instantly. He looked at Qingluan's raised palm and couldn't help but said, "Why did you hit me?"
"Are you awake?"
Qingluan lightly tossed a pill over and said, "Take it."
"What's this?"
"Antitoxic Pill."
Liu Yijin looked at Qingluan's calm expression and threw the pills directly into his mouth. A bitter taste rushed to his forehead, as if he had drank Pepsi-Cola, and he was full of hiccups.
Liu Yijin stood up, rubbing his tear-filled eyes, and looked around confusedly: "Why are those sounds just now missing?"
"Because it's your imagination."
Hallucination?
This made Liu Yijin a little bit unacceptable: "How could it be an illusion? There are obviously many people's voices."
Qingluan sneered: "Not only did you not hear it, I think even they didn't hear it."
Only then did Liu Yijin think of Mengyao and the others, and he couldn't help but be shocked: "Where are they?"
Qingluan took Liu Yijin back to the distance, and saw everyone sitting there back to back with pale faces, but Lan Yuer had a calm face and clear eyes.
"Why are you okay?"
Lan Yuer said: "I didn't really hear it just now, but Qingluan said let us stay here and don't move. I suddenly remembered that I had heard about the Shadow Gate."
"So I took out the antidote pill and fed it to them. Sure enough, it was all an illusion."
Lan Yuer glanced at Liu Yijin lightly: "If we had rushed in just now, I believe no one would have come out alive."
Mengyao and others woke up slowly. They looked around confusedly, hearing nothing but the firelight.
"Where are those screams?"
Qingluan's eyes showed coldness: "There are no screams at all, because there is no one inside!"
Everyone fell silent immediately and looked at Liu Yijin.
Liu Yijin also had a bitter look on his face: "We will know everything when the sun comes up."
There was no way back from the hotel, a fire had set everything on this street on fire.
"If all this is true, it would be too weird. When we came in, we saw the villagers and even some people who came to eat in the hotel. Could it be that all of this is fake?"
Some people cannot accept this reality and express doubts.
Everyone stayed up until dawn, and the fire gradually became smaller.
Everything around was burned to the ground, and broken walls and ruins were everywhere.
Liu Yijin and others dispersed in all directions, but found no trace of anyone at all.
"Why is there no one?"
Liu Yijin stood in the ruins and roared lowly.
He searched all around, but there was no trace of anyone at all.
But there was obviously someone there yesterday? Why did it disappear overnight?
Mengyao and Lan Yuer's hair was messy, and their faces and hands were covered with ashes.
"Sir, we have searched everywhere, but there is no trace of anyone here at all."
Liu Yijin looked at Qingluan: "What on earth is going on?"
A cold glint flashed in Qingluan's eyes: "Actually, there were people here yesterday. Maybe these people don't even know who is from the Maitreya family and who is from the dynasty."
"They just disappeared overnight. As for where they went, I don't know."
Liu Yijin suddenly thought of the girl last night: "If I can find that girl, I think I should be able to understand all this."
Qingluan frowned slightly: "If they were targeting you, they wouldn't have given up so easily last night, unless there was some reason why they had to give up."
Liu Yijin looked at Qingluan: "Is it because you are guarding me?"
Qingluan shook his head and said: "That girl's internal strength is not inferior to mine, and how could such a big movement be just her?"
"Why is that?"
Qingluan looked at everyone: "Maybe there are more important things or more important people than Liu Yijin."
"More important than me?" Liu Yijin was stunned for a moment: "Unless the princess or His Majesty comes in person."
Qingluan shook his head: "This possibility is very small, unless they have another purpose."
Liu Yijin's face suddenly changed: "Five hundred iron guards?"
"Yes, they can't handle a hundred thousand troops, but if they cooperate well, killing five hundred iron guards will shock the Daqian Dynasty more than killing one Liu Yijin."
Liu Yijin took a breath: "These five hundred iron guards are all your majesty's personal guards. If five hundred iron guards die at once, your majesty will be furious."
Mengyao looked at Liu Yijin: "If this is the case, even if His Majesty does not recruit you back to the capital, the ministers will attack you. From now on, His Majesty will definitely replace you as General of Zhenbei under pressure."
Lan Yuer nodded: "Yes, once that time comes, General Zhenbei will definitely be selected from other places."
"The army of one hundred thousand will be completely out of His Majesty's control."
A bitter smile appeared on Liu Yijin's face: "If this is the case, then I will become Daqian's sinner."
A cold look flashed in Mengyao's eyes: "If this is really the case, then we can only hurry up and hurry up, hoping to catch up with the 500 Iron Guards before them."
Qingluan glanced at Liu Yijin: "Such a big thing happening here will definitely attract the attention of the court. I think the surrounding officials will definitely notice it. You don't have to worry."
Liu Yijin sighed: "That's all we have now."
Liu Yijin looked at Yuan Peng: "You guys are waiting here. If anyone from the Wolf Guard or the imperial court comes, explain the situation and ask them to report it to the imperial court quickly."
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely fulfill my humble duty."
Liu Yijin looked at Qingluan and others: "The next step is up to you all!"
