Traveling through books: trapped in an infinite cycle of injustice

Yan Muyi was absent-minded along the way, thinking about what Aunt Zhang and the guard Heze said. After combined analysis, what is the truth? Is it really because of the rumors as they said, or is there another hidden secret?

There was an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in her heart. It feels like what is in front of me is not the truth, but what is the truth? She had no way of verifying it.

In her panic, she suddenly heard the cry for help coming from a distance. Yan Muyi followed the direction of the sound and came to an abandoned house.

The sound became fainter and fainter, and she put her ear to the door to listen to the sounds in the house. The door was unlocked and he opened it quietly. Entering through the main door was the main hall of a square courtyard. Yan Mu looked around and found that there was a door ajar.

She picked up her skirt and quietly reached the door.

The scene that caught his eye was a guard with his back turned to him, holding a short-handled bayonet and walking towards a woman wearing concubine's clothes who was hiding in the corner.

The woman in the corner cowered to the ground, burying her head between her legs, shaking with fear.

The guard who was about to attack him had his back turned to him, and he didn't know that he was right behind him. Taking advantage of this advantageous position, Yan Muyi fought hard and pushed the guard to the ground.

The guard was suddenly attacked from the back and fell to the ground. The short-handled knife in his hand accidentally rolled down to the woman's side.

Because of the sudden loud noise, the woman raised her head to check.

As soon as he raised his eyes, Yan Muyi was stunned on the spot. Isn't the woman in front of me Ji Feier?

The thoughts in her heart were a mess, and she didn't know why. Could it be that Ji Feier also traveled through time with him? How can it be? If it's true, why haven't we met each other in more than a year?

At this critical moment, Yan Muyi's panic was unintentionally a fatal blow to her, and she completely forgot about the guard who was just about to commit an attack.

The fallen guard was furious at Yan Muyi's sudden attack just now. When she was dazed, she had already stood up, rushed in front of Yan Muyi in a second, and grabbed her neck.

Yan Mu was choked so hard that he could hardly breathe. He looked at the guard with his face covered in front of him, his eyes full of murderous intent. Although Yan Muyi tried his best to resist, he was still no match for the guards in front of him.

In these short ten seconds, she was gradually deprived of oxygen, and everything that had happened in the past year flashed through her mind. Is this the life rewind scene that occurs before someone dies?

Due to lack of oxygen, Yan Muyi's hands, which were still tightly grasping the guard in front of him, now hung limply by his side. His eyes gradually became unable to focus, and his whole body began to become numb due to suffocation.

Just when she thought she was about to pass away in the next second, the hands that were squeezing her neck suddenly loosened their grip.

The sudden air flowed into her throat and lungs, and she stood there gasping for breath. The guard in front of her slowly fell to the ground, and the one in front of her at this time was 'Ji Feier'.

She looked at the guard who fell to the ground with horror and fear on her face. The short knife in her hand was covered in blood. She dropped the knife in fear and looked at her red hands.

His eyes were bloodshot, and they opened like bells out of fear, looking at his blood-covered hands. He yelled, covering his ears, and fell to the ground tiredly, his whole body twitching like a spasm.

Yan Muyi stepped forward to check the fallen guard and found that he was not dead. But the stabbing blow in the lower back of 'Ji Feier' also caused him serious injuries and he fainted.

Taking advantage of the fact that the guards had no strength to resist, Yan Mu worked hard and regardless of the situation, he picked up 'Ji Feier' who was curled up on the ground and ran out of the house.

When they were about to run out of the house, they saw a group of guards in black running towards the gate of the house.

This is a big deal. I just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and now I have entered the wolf's den again. There was an encirclement in front, and there were murderous guards behind. Who did 'Ji Feier' beside her offend and cause this fatal disaster?

And behind the group of strong men who surrounded her, she vaguely saw the figure of Concubine Ying. When Yan Mu saw that he couldn't go out, he could only run back.

Concubine Ying shouted in her broken voice from a distance.

"Catch them quickly!"

After obeying the order, these five or six big men all rushed to the house and broke in through the door. When Yan Mu saw the formation of this group of people, they seemed to be here to kill people and silence them. Feeling bad, he immediately took 'Ji Feier' and hid in the original wooden house. Lock the door tightly with a bolt.

'Ji Feier' was extremely frightened and looked at Yan Muyi with eager eyes.

"What should we do now? They're already outside the door."

At this critical moment, Yan Mu came up with a plan.

Picking up the hem of his skirt and tearing out two pieces of cloth, he saw a teapot on the table. When he walked forward, he found that there was water in the teapot, so he poured all the water in the teapot onto the cloth to completely soak it.

'Ji Feier' beside her was confused about Yan Muyi's actions. But at the critical moment, she didn't dare to say anything.

The big man outside the house kept cursing and banging on the door. The two of them were in very critical condition at the moment, and they didn't know when the big man outside the house would break in.

Yan Mu took the soaked cloth in his hand to 'Ji Feier', then turned around to find a match, started burning the things in the house, and said urgently.

"Hurry up and find something that can burn quickly, and set the house on fire right now."

Although 'Ji Feier' didn't know the reason, Yan Muyi's actions were really shocking. Could it be that he wanted to set himself on fire and die together?

Looking at the hesitant 'Ji Feier', Yan Muyi had no extra time and could only explain briefly.

"We can only burn the house down to attract the attention of the outside world and come to help us."

After hearing this, 'Ji Feier' finally understood what Yan Muyi meant.

It would be death to go out now, and it would be death to set fire to the house. As long as there is a chance, she is still willing to give it a try.

So, she quickly moved all the things around her that could be burned.

The flames grew bigger and bigger.

The big men outside the house felt that something was wrong, so they stopped kicking the door.

"Good guy, are the people here going to self-immolate?"

"Should we report to the Queen?"

The four or five big men who kicked the door began to discuss each other, completely unaware of Yan Mu's coming and going.

The fire in the house grew stronger and stronger, and the people outside the house had already fled five feet away. Yan Muyi asked 'Ji Feier' to cover her mouth and nose with the newly soaked cloth.

Because the fire in the house increases, the smoke will inevitably choke you. You can only cover your mouth and nose to avoid choking in the thick smoke and suffocating to death. If they can be lucky enough to survive until someone comes to rescue them, they can escape death and avoid disaster.

Yan Muyi shouted loudly outside the house when the fire was raging.

"It's water! It's water!"

At this time, Wei Yunchen, who was on duty nearby, saw thick smoke billowing not far away. He took the guards beside him to check.

As they got closer, they heard faint calls for help. At this time, everyone was on guard. Someone was trapped inside. Wei Yunchen led the guards and rushed to the point of trouble.

When the fire broke out in the house, the big man outside the house escaped and reported it to Concubine Ying.

"Mother, the people in the house want to set themselves on fire, what should we do now?"

How could Concubine Ying be a sensible person? She was originally here to seek revenge and kill someone to silence her.

Since everyone inside has set themselves on fire, there is no need to take action to leave evidence. She was quite happy with it.

Concubine Ying, who wanted to watch from here, heard the sound of someone coming. Discovering that it was the imperial guard, they quickly fled the scene with five strong men.

When Wei Yunchen arrived, the house was already on fire with thick smoke billowing. Yan Muyi and 'Ji Feier' were also choked by the thick smoke and fainted in the house, their lives and deaths unknown.
