In just a moment, the ancestral hall was set on fire, and the flames shot into the sky, illuminating Shen Zhiyi's face. She took out the wet cloth she had prepared long ago, covered her mouth and nose, lowered her head, and quickly rushed to the door. The flames danced wildly behind her, and the heat wave came one after another, burning her skin until it hurt.
The door was knocked open and Jiang Yubai rushed in. The flames shone on Jiang Yubai's face. He frowned and saw a piece of wood falling. Jiang Yubai quickly protected her behind him. The piece of wood hit her hard. There was a loud noise on the ground, which made people's eardrums hurt.
"Shen Zhiyi, are you crazy? You are using your own life as a bargaining chip!"
Shen Zhiyi bit her lower lip and said nothing, just looking at him silently. Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Yubai became even more angry. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side, "Is it worth taking such a risk?"
"I knew what I was doing and it was the only way I could think of."
"If you have someone you want to protect, you will understand me."
The firelight rushed over and reflected on Jiang Yubai's face. He frowned slightly, "If you die like this, who will remember you?"
"You don't understand. I should have died a long time ago. It's God's blessing. Leave quickly and I will find a way out."
The flames danced wildly, and the heat wave hit us. Jiang Yubai held Shen Zhiyi's hand tightly and protected her as she rushed towards the door. Their figures flickered in and out of light, as if they were two lone figures traveling against the wind. The flames licked their skin, and the heat almost suffocated them.
"Knowing!" Xiang Jinzhu exclaimed and walked forward quickly.
"Governor Jiang, please leave quickly. If you are seen, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave the Shen Mansion."
"I came to save you on the order of Princess Xiang. If I can't save you, I will die in the fire with you. Didn't I say that I won't suffer any loss if I have a beautiful woman by my side."
"What a madman." Shen Zhiyi complained, holding the military book tightly in her hand and hiding it on her body. She mixed the peach blossom soup, and just in case, Aunt Yue also sprinkled some poison in the incense. , when the medicine took effect, Shen Zhiyi vomited blood and sprayed it on Jiang Yubai's clothes.
"You," Jiang Yubai glanced at the incense falling next to him, "since you knew this was a trap, why did you rush in?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't answer, just looked at him silently, with a trace of determination in his eyes.
"The dose is not large, don't worry, I won't die."
Hearing this, Jiang Yubai became even more angry. He grabbed Shen Zhiyi's hand and pulled her to his side, "Is it worth taking such a risk?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't speak, just looked at him silently, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came, and Shen Zhiyi bit her lower lip, trying hard not to scream. Jiang Yubai's heart twitched when he saw her painful look.
"Hiss," Shen Zhiyi felt pain and pulled Governor Jiang over, dragging him behind him with his right hand. Unexpectedly, he was hit by a red-hot wooden beam. Shen Zhiyi turned his head and looked at the wounds on his body.
"Governor Jiang, lend me your Star-cutting Sword."
Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment by Shen Zhiyi's words. He looked down at her and saw that Shen Zhiyi's face was pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat, but she endured the pain and looked at him firmly.
Jiang Yubai's heart trembled. He never thought that this woman who usually seemed weak could have such a strong will. He silently pulled out the Star-cutting Sword and handed it to her hand.
Since Shen Zhiyi came in, he noticed that the carvings on the beams were a bit strange. When he combined it with the military book he just found, he found that what was engraved on it was the key to using this military book.
It must not fall into the hands of outsiders. During the time just now, Shen Zhiyi had already memorized all of this in his mind and would write it down again when he went out.
She held the Star-Slashing Sword tightly and slashed hard at the red-hot wooden beam. The carvings on the wooden beams looked particularly strange under the sword light, as if they were ferocious faces, lunging towards her with their teeth and claws.
Shen Zhiyi felt happy because she knew that the second half of the Shen family's military book was hidden there.
As the sword edge fell, the wooden beam broke instantly, and the second half of the military book fell down.
Shen Zhiyi grabbed the book of war and held it tightly in her hand. At this moment, she felt a force pouring out of the book of war, echoing the power in her body.
Shen Zhiyi used all his strength to insert the sword back into Jiang Yubai's hand, and then fainted in his arms.
Jiang Yubai hugged her tightly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He clenched the military book in his hand, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Is this the legendary Shen family's military book that has been lost for a long time?
It was something that her disciple wanted to protect even at the risk of her own life.
