Ruan Tang had no choice but to find a rockery to hide in the garden of Zhufeng Garden.
Not long after, she saw the light of fire not far away, making the sky over there brighten.
She knew it was Aomine who took action.
She leaned out from the rockery, looked at the place where the fire appeared, and recognized that it was Lingyun Pavilion not far from Canglang Garden.
But the fire was bigger than she imagined.
Not long after, fire also appeared in another place, which turned out to be Guanxue Garden, which was far away from Canglang Garden.
Ruan Tang bit his lip and couldn't help but curse Qingfeng in his heart.
It was clearly agreed that the fire would only be set in one place, and that the fire should not be too big.
Their purpose is to save people, not to burn down houses.
Now the fire was not only huge, it also burned two places.
If they can't escape tonight, they will be caught by Chu Mu.
The crime of setting fire to Prince Ning's Mansion was enough to make them die hundreds of times.
Soon, Ruan Tang heard shouts from a distance, similar to the sound of "drain water, put out fire".
While she prayed that Qingfeng would bring Chunhan and the others over quickly, she also hoped that the two fires would not cause excessive losses to Prince Ning's Mansion.
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Qingfeng come back, let alone Chunhan Xiaofeng and the others.
Time passed by minute by minute, until the fire in the distance gradually became smaller, but they still did not appear.
Ruan Tang felt vaguely uneasy.
Such a fire would require at least the entire palace's guards to put it out.
And with Qingfeng's martial arts, he could take advantage of everyone's time to put out the fire, rescue Chunhan and the others, and then bring them here.
But after waiting for so long, the fire was almost extinguished and he didn't show up, so there was only one possibility.
Their rescue plan failed, and it's very possible that Aomine was captured as well.
Ruan Tang only regretted it now. If she had known this earlier, she would have left with Qingfeng first, and then looked for an opportunity to rescue her.
But now even Qingfeng was folded in, and it was impossible for her to rescue them from Chu Mu's hands alone.
Ruan Tang was filled with resentment and did not dare to stay here too long.
After leaving the rockery, he ran towards the cave where he sneaked into the palace last time.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from the cave, so she got there in a short time.
She got into the cave almost without thinking, and then leaned out to tidy up the grass outside. After confirming that there was no hole visible from the outside, she moved sideways inside.
Just as she was about to move to the entrance of the cave outside, a burst of uniform, sonorous and powerful footsteps came from outside the entrance of the cave.
Ruan Tang knew clearly that it was the footsteps of patrolling guards.
She immediately stopped moving.
She had no way of knowing what was going on outside now and did not dare to act rashly.
He had no choice but to lie down in the cave and remain motionless.
At the same time, he raised his ears and listened intently to what was going on outside.
As for Canglangyuan, the moment the fire started, Chu Mu knew that it was Ruan Tang and the others who were here.
But he didn't expect that this woman was really heartless. She disappeared for more than half a month, and he looked for her for more than half a month.
She was lucky enough to set fire to his mansion as soon as she came back, which was really a shame.
But her little trick of trying to save people in the chaos was simply not enough for him.
Prince Taning is a vegetarian.
Soon, a team of well-trained guards divided into two groups and rushed to the two courtyards where the fire broke out.
At this moment, Canglang Garden is still brightly lit, and there are many guards who were originally on guard.
If the Qingfeng beside her hadn't run away, he wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths to greet her just by herself.
He alone is enough to control her.
Chun Han, Xiao Feng and Ling Qing were now tied up with their hands and feet tied, their mouths gagged, and they were thrown into a twisted shape under the pear tree in the Canglang Garden courtyard.
Chu Mu was sitting on an old man's chair, swaying, looking carefree.
Chunhan still hasn't figured out how she was exposed?
She was obviously the same as usual, and Prince Ning didn't pay special attention to her.
How did you know she was going to run away today? How did she know that her young lady was coming to save her?
She didn't even have time to join Xiaofeng Lingqing and the others.
Chu Mu waited for a long time. When the fire in Lingyun Pavilion became more and more intense, a figure finally appeared in Canglangyuan.
After Chu Mu saw the person coming, his cold eyes were like sharp blades, staring at the person.
"Where is Ruan Tang? Why don't you show up?"
Qingfeng stood alone on the wall of Canglangyuan, looking down quietly.
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. I am the only one tonight. My master is missing. Doesn't Your Highness know that?"
There was a smile on Qingfeng's lips, still looking carefree.
But how could Chu Mu believe it?
"Let her come out and I will spare your life."
No one has ever dared to act like this over and over again.
Just that woman.
He provided her with good food and drink, but she actually took advantage of the chaos and escaped, causing him to look for her for so long.
It seemed that he really underestimated her body's endurance. She could run away even if she was hit by a sword. He thought she had fallen into the hands of some unscrupulous person.
It seems that he is careless.
These days, she was probably living a carefree life.
But he is not well. This account must be settled carefully no matter what.
But she still dared to hide and not come out?
Chu Mu did not get up, still looking leisurely, lying on the old man's chair, but his eyes became colder and colder. He gently raised his eyes and glanced at Qingfeng from a distance, as if he was looking at an ant.
Qingfeng put away the carelessness on his face and said, "Spare us? Then let's see if His Highness has this ability."
As he spoke, he observed the situation below without leaving any trace.
There were quite a few guards here, but his appearance did not make them alert, and they still remained motionless.
He didn't seem to take him seriously.
But Chu Mu was even worse, there was even a sneer on his lips.
For Qingfeng, this was a provocation.
I have to admit that this Prince Ning is very brave and courageous.
He had fallen into his hands twice, yet he could still be so relaxed and content when seeing him.
But his self-confidence cannot be blind. There is only one possibility. He is so relaxed because he has full confidence and can fight against him.
But just like this, Qingfeng's desire to win was aroused and he couldn't suppress it anymore.
He jumped towards him almost without thinking.
With his speed, it was obviously impossible to solve all of these problems in a matter of seconds.
But to capture the thief first, capture the king. If he wanted to restrain Chu Mu in an instant, he could do it easily.
But just when he thought he had a chance to win, Chu Mu's hand suddenly pressed the armrest of the old man's chair, and an extremely fast arrow shot out from the armrest and headed straight for Qingfeng's face.
This was something Qingfeng didn't expect. He didn't see the crossbow in Chu Mu's hand, so he relaxed his guard. Unexpectedly, there was another mystery to this chair.
He used his inner strength and retreated a foot, but still could not stop the cold arrows like the wind. He only heard a "pop" sound, and the arrow penetrated his shoulder blade.
He was brought to his knees by the huge momentum of the arrow.
Soon, the pain hit his whole body, and the pain was accompanied by waves of numbness. He could feel the strength in his body dissipating little by little, and soon his whole body became limp.
He never expected that one day he would be plotted against.
He lowered his head and glanced at the arrow that had been half-buried into his flesh, and the numbness on his body became even worse.
He raised his eyes to look at Chu Mu, his black eyes narrowed, "Is the arrow smeared with poison?"
