"Sister Huang is right. Good times and beautiful scenery should not be taken lightly. The night is long. You and I should go and sober up before coming back."
"Eunuch Hu, to ensure safety, could you please speak to His Majesty and ask him to send two dragon guards with extraordinary skills to follow Sister Huang and me."
Whenever a banquet is a top priority, troops and defenses are concentrated on the banquet occasion, so the armored guards patrolling the camp cannot patrol as highly as usual.
The same goes for the Dragon Guard.
Zhu Sijia's excuse for finding Yan Xiu to protect the dragon guard was simply not very reasonable.
Hu Shunhai felt that something was wrong and insisted on persuading him nicely, which almost made Zhaohua Leiting furious. Then he only returned to his high position and told Yan Xiu about Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu's needs.
"Don't you just need two dragon guards?" Yan Xiu looked Hu Shunhai up and down with contempt in his eyes, "How many years have you been with me? You are still so clueless, why should I keep you by my side?"
Hu Shunhai was almost scared to death, while Zhaohua left the table with Zhu Sijia satisfied.
As soon as they left the table, Yan Xing stood up and toasted Yan Xiu:
"Now the great Qin sea and rivers are clear, stable and prosperous, and bordering all directions, all because of the majesty of your Majesty, which shocks the world. I wish that your majesty's glory will be with the sun and the moon through the ages, and the mountains and rivers will last forever."
What he said today sounded pretty good.
Hu Shunhai finally learned to adapt and quickly filled Yan Xiu's golden bottle with fine wine, and Yan Xiu quickly gave Yan Xing a drink in return.
Although Yan Xing doesn't drink well, he is by no means a child who drinks three glasses of wine. The glass he drank to Yan Xiu just now was considered his second glass. But as soon as he drank the old wine, the scene in front of him quickly blurred, and he was about to faint. .
Eleven almost didn't hold him up.
A raging fire burned in front of his eyes, and black smoke filled the air, pressing on everyone's heads at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner like black clouds over a city.
The sea of fire was filled with the screams of old, young, women and children.
The biggest fire was undoubtedly the Beiliang camp, and the most dazzling princess on the grassland was burned to ashes bit by bit in front of his eyes.
All these illusions were so real that Yan Xing seemed to be immersed in the scene, and he even felt waves of heat rushing towards him.
"Bangdang——"
The sound of the golden lamp falling to the ground in Yan Xing's hand brought him out of the illusion. When he came back to his senses, he had been helped by Shi Yi to sit down. From the root of his hair to his temples, there was a dense layer of cool sweat, as if it were beaded.
Yan Xiu sneered: "Is it possible that King Yi is also a strong drinker? Or is King Yi's courage so small that he could be so scared when he toasted me?"
"Your Majesty makes atonement. I am indeed too drunk. I hope your Majesty will forgive you." Yan Xing became increasingly restless and did not care whether Yan Xiu would look bad. He stood up directly and said, "My brother, please leave first."
Regardless of whether the illusion just now was true or false, he had to go to Beiliang Camp to see it in person.
Without him, Yan Xiu had deliberately placed the heavy responsibility of fire prevention on him. He had not dared to relax in the past few days. He would be truly relieved only after tonight was safe.
In this final level, nothing can go wrong.
…
Zhu Sijia was pretending to be drunk, and her steps were much more steady than Zhaohua's. She said she was taking a walk to get some fresh air, but she almost intentionally guided Zhaohua to walk with her towards the Beiliang camp.
Because she and Zhaohua were chatting in random directions along the way, the two dragon guards who followed her did not become suspicious.
The night is like a tide, revealing the coquettishness and weirdness, and the jackdaw finally makes its appearance on this Mid-Autumn Festival night full of weirdness.
The cry of blood was louder than the other, and it seemed that the breath of death was smelled in advance.
Finally, we arrived dozens of feet away from Beiliang Camp. The firelight was already brighter than the clear moonlight, illuminating everyone’s faces!
The people who were setting fire heard the movements of Zhu Sijia and her group, and hurriedly threw all the remaining torches into Princess Zhenzhen's tent and ran away.
Zhaohua was so frightened that he was completely drunk.
"You two, hurry up and chase, and you will definitely catch the thief who set the fire! I will save people! Sister Huang, hurry up and call for reinforcements!"
Zhu Sijia arranged it in an orderly manner, scooped a basin of water directly from the wooden barrel outside the camp, raised it above her head and soaked herself.
Although Zhaohua was worried that Zhu Sijia would be in danger when fighting the fire alone, the current situation did not allow her to delay. After hesitating for a moment, he loudly told Zhu Sijia "take care" and hurried back to the direction of the dinner party.
The fire wasn't too big, but it couldn't be careless under the raging night wind.
Zhu Sijia took off her wet coat and covered her head, covered her mouth and nose tightly, gritted her teeth and bent down to walk into the fire.
"Princess Zhenzhen, Princess Zhenzhen, where are you——"
The choking smoke made Zhu Sijia's eyes hurt, and the wooden frame used to build the tent seemed to have been burned by the fire and was in danger of collapsing at any time.
It would be a lie to say that she is not afraid, but when Zhu Sijia thinks of the twelve cities in the North that will turn into ghost towns in the future, she feels great courage in her heart.
"I...I'm here..."
Princess Zhenzhen's faint cry for help came from the direction of the bed.
Zhu Sijia quickly ran towards that place and saw Princess Zhenzhen lying weakly on the couch. The sick look on her face had been driven away by the high temperature of the fire. She could not move, and it was difficult to even turn over.
"Don't be afraid, Princess." Zhu Sijia went around Princess Zhenzhen's armpits and prepared to lift her up. "It's not too late now, I will definitely take you out."
Zhenzhen originally thought that she would be buried in the sea of fire in the despair that filled the sky. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the beauty next to the Emperor of Qin came to rescue her.
She moved her lips slightly and silently said "thank you" to Zhu Sijia.
Princess Zhenzhen was wearing heavy clothes and her steps were frivolous. For a while, Zhu Sijia couldn't just take off her coat and take her out. After only carrying her for a few steps, she was already sweating profusely.
"Bangdang——"
A burning beam had fallen in front of the two of them, blocking their way.
"You can go out from the back...you can also go out from the back." Princess Zhenzhen pointed in another direction.
She felt dirty and didn't learn Chinese well. She didn't know if this beauty could understand what she said at the critical moment.
Zhu Sijia silently led her around.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and just as the two were about to walk out of the tent, a beam suddenly fell on the opening of the curtain, completely blocking their way.
Oops.
Zhu Scarlett was exhausted and almost fell down when her eyes darkened. She was too exhausted and now she was at the end of her strength.
If history is not changed smoothly...
Maybe she will be buried in the fire together with Princess Zhenzhen.
But she refused to accept her fate and used her remaining strength to cry out for help: "Is there anyone? Help!"
While the two of them were waiting desperately, the beam in front of them was kicked open, and then Princess Zhenzhen was taken out first.
After confirming that she was out of danger, Zhu Scarlett finally collapsed and fell unconscious.
Yan Xing reached out to catch Zhu Sijia at the moment she fainted, and carried her away from the fire.
