Little Cardamom

Madam Zhifu's face suddenly turned pale, Xianquanfang? Then, isn't my master... and His Royal Highness King Dingbei and Young Master Right!

There was a flash of white light in front of her eyes, she just stood up and took a look, then fell back to her buttocks and sat down again, bewildered, unable to open her mouth for a long while in panic.

The play on the stage stopped, and everyone on the boat was chattering, waiting for the magistrate's wife to make up her mind:

"Oh my god, if this wind blows, the boat will probably burn up!"

"It's Xianquanfang! Mom, what should I do? Daddy is still on it!"

"Ma'am, do you want to send someone to put out the fire?"

"With such a big fire, the submerged fire army should have already been dispatched?"

…

The ladies and wives on the boat talked to each other, and even secretly thought to themselves with the intention of watching the fun: The water is going so well, it would be better to burn all the foxes in those boats clean , so that you don't have to be so enchanting and so pitiful all day long, and you won't be able to hook up with men!

The prefect's wife has never encountered such a scene. She usually spends her days pampered and pampered in the inner house. At most, she just takes care of the miscellaneous trivial matters among the wives and relatives. She is pointing at her to make decisions for a while, and her mind is completely blank.

At this moment, Ming Tan suppressed the panic that was surging in his heart, and said calmly: "Madam, please send someone to notify the Submarine Fire Army and the City Defense Department immediately, and let them go to fight the fire. The soldiers that the government can mobilize are the best. They are all dispatched to fight the fire!"

The magistrate's wife had no backbone, when she heard Ming Tan's words, she came back to her senses, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, what the princess said is right, hurry up and do what the princess said!"

The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, this...it is nothing to inform the Qianhuo Army, the Qianhuo Army will definitely send people there, maybe they are already on their way to put out the fire right now.

But the city defense department and the soldiers of the government office, they can't be mobilized by reporting the letter, and the magistrate's wife and princess don't have the right to do so.

The magistrate's wife was in a panic at the moment, how could she expect to get this level, seeing them hesitated, she commanded in a panic, "Hurry up!"

Someone looked puzzled: "Madam, if there is no order from the magistrate, the city defense department and government soldiers, even the younger ones will report to them and they will not listen."

Ming Tan heard the words, and immediately retorted: "The magistrate is also trapped in the boat now, how can he have a warrant? You just go, and say it is the order of the princess!" She said, tearing off the princess jade around her waist. "If you don't obey the order, tell them that if something happens to the prince and the second son of Shu in Quancheng tonight, neither the city defense department nor the people in the government office of Quancheng can get away with it!"

How could she not know that the imperial concubine's decree could not dispatch soldiers from Fucheng, but at the moment she didn't care so much, she could only threaten coldly: "My concubine still has some weight in saying this in front of the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, the servants were sweating down their backs, and hurriedly bowed to accept the jade plaques, not daring to shirk.

As expected, the potential fire army had already rushed to the boat to fight the fire. However, the city defense department and the government soldiers all argued that they should not act rashly without the magistrate's warrant, and the person who went to report took out the princess jade card and repeated Fan Mingtan's words , the two officers began to hesitate.

As the saying goes, the prince of the court, the son of the right minister, and the magistrate are all there, so it is really unreasonable to go to a submerged fire brigade to fight the fire. If something goes wrong, the emperor will be furious and bury him with him, and the Su family may not be sure keep them.

Thinking of this, the city defense department and the government office both said yes, hurry up and set off.

The painting boat for watching the play has already landed, and everyone is standing on the bank waiting for someone to report the fire, and Ming Tan has been staring at the place where the fire is escalating.

Seeing that she was nervous, Yun Yi comforted her in a low voice: "Princess, don't worry, with the master's skills, it is impossible to be trapped by the mere fire, and the master also has hidden guards with him, so you don't have to worry."

Yun Yi's words are actually very conservative. From what she sees, it's not only impossible for the Lord to be trapped by the fire, it's not bad if he didn't set the fire.

However, Ming Tan can't feel at ease, how could she not know that her husband is very capable, but this is in other people's territory, if this fire is aimed at him, and there was an ambush before, who would know the current situation?

The Qianhuo Army, the City Defense Department and the government office were dispatched, and the news from the other side of the boat soon came back.

"Prince Wang, madam, the fire started from Xianquanfang, the river is windy, and the fire is spreading rapidly. The prince and his party have not been found yet!"

Madam Zhifu's face was pale, and her voice trembled: "I didn't find it, so why don't you come back and find it!"

"Don't forget about the water, you have to send people to find it under the water." Ming Tan ordered quietly.

"yes!"

This person left after reporting, and soon someone ran and loudly sent back a message: "My lord, my lord has found it!"

Ming Tan stepped forward and hurriedly asked: "The magistrate has found it? What about the prince and Second Young Master Shu?"

The man was panting heavily, and his voice was intermittent: "Bi, Wangfei, I only found the prefect under the water, the prince...the prince and the second son of Shu haven't seen the figure yet."

The prefect's wife rushed over and asked, "How is your lord? Where are you?"

"Your Excellency choked on water and fell into a coma. I don't know if he was injured yet, but... But his life should be safe. The government soldiers are planning to carry you back to the mansion."

The magistrate's wife was shocked by the shock earlier, but at this moment, she suddenly heard that her lord was alive, she covered her chest, and muttered "It's fine if you don't have anything to do, it's fine if you have nothing to do". , fell back limply.

"mother!"

"lady!"

Everyone was in a hurry to help the magistrate's wife who passed out.

"..."

Such a little thing makes me dizzy.

Ming Tan pursed his lips, thinking of Jiang Xu who had not heard from him yet, clenched his hands in his wide sleeves so tightly that the edges of his fingertips turned white.

In fact, reason is telling her that no news is the best news, and the magistrate is fine, so how can something happen to the God of War who is decisive in fighting on the battlefield? But she kept thinking in her heart, what if someone targeted her husband by injecting some rare drug and poison in an attempt to set fire to cover it up?

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind every moment, and she even wondered if this was a situation that the magistrate's wife knew very well, in order to deceive her so that she could be used against her husband?

Those thoughts were all mixed, but they all reminded her that she should believe that her husband would be safe, that she should stay here and wait for the good news, and that she should protect herself from acting rashly. She is the princess of Dingbei, and every thoughtless and hasty decision may cause irreversible consequences.

But no matter how she tried to persuade herself to calm down, as long as she thought that there was such a one-ten-thousandth chance that her husband would be framed and set up by someone, and he was in deep flames at the moment, she couldn't bear to just stand here like this, passively waiting for someone to send back news.

Finally, she made a decision.

"Send Madam back to rest, and everyone should leave first, as long as I'm here." Ming Tan suddenly ordered.

Now that my father was found, my mother passed out again. The ladies of the magistrate's family didn't want to stay here any longer, so they said goodbye and hurriedly helped mother back to the house. Seeing this, the rest of the wives and ladies thought that it had nothing to do with their own family, so they responded one after another and quickly scattered away.

After everyone had left, Ming Tan suddenly looked at Yun Yi, his eyes burning and said: "Yun Yi, I want to go."

Yun Yi was stunned: "In the past?" She was afraid that she would make a mistake, so she deliberately looked at the burning Xianquanfang, "Your Majesty... the past is dangerous now, and you can't do anything if you go, and the Lord will not Something happened."

"I must go and have a look."

"Please forgive me for not being able to obey orders, the Lord said..."

"Since Husband sent you to protect me, then you are mine." Ming Tan interrupted, "I also remember Husband said that Jin Yunwei does not matter to two masters, who is your master now, do you listen to it?" Whose words?"

Yun Yi was dumbfounded, and felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell at the moment.

Ming Tan looked around again, and raised his voice: "Aren't there two hidden guards? Where are they? If something happens to the prince, what's the use of protecting me?!"

There was silence all around, only the water waves swayed gently.

Yun Yi was a little confused by Ming Tan's words, who would have thought that Ming Tan would take advantage of her unguardedness, suddenly lift up the hem of her skirt, and step onto the small boat docked on the shore.

She bit her lip, untied the rope vigorously, and picked up the oar in a dignified manner, as if she wanted to paddle by herself.

Seeing this, Yun Yi hurriedly flew onto the boat and snatched the oar from Ming Tan's hand.

Ming Tan knew that he would not be able to make it through, and his idea was to lure Yun Yi into the boat.

Seeing Yunyi boarding the boat, her eyes turned red as soon as she said it, and her voice suddenly softened, she was small, and she still pinched the hem of her clothes: "Good Yunyi, just take me there, nothing will happen, I will definitely not Something will happen."

Yun Yi: "..."

This was the first time she saw her own princess being so anxious. Although she was calm on the face, she was like a child who didn't want candy in her heart. She was so anxious that she was about to shed tears in an instant.

She remembered that when she was framed by someone in Pingguo's mansion, the princess was always rational and clear-headed at critical moments, and even when she escaped danger, she never forgot to check her body for missing items.

For some reason, there seemed to be slight ripples in her heart, which had been calm all year round.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly blew a whistle, and the hidden guard who had been guarding in the dark finally appeared, tapped water quietly, and floated onto the boat.

Yun Yi instructed: "Your Majesty, you can't go near the boat, you can only stay on the boat."

As long as Yunyi is willing to take her there, she will naturally be fine at the moment, she nodded obediently, and promised: "I will stay on the boat, and I will not put myself in danger."

Soon, the boat rowed to the middle of the river.

Not far away, the fire had spread to other boats, but most of the fire in Xianquanfang had been extinguished. The boats were sunk and collapsed, and there were many charred beams and corpses floating on the water.

Soldiers from the Submarine Fire Army, the City Defense Division, and the government office were searching the wrecked ships that were emitting black smoke. When they encountered charred corpses, they carried them to the shore one by one.

"Hurry up and look for it." Ming Tan hurriedly said to the two shadows at the stern whose faces were tightly covered.

Shadow was very obedient, nodded slightly, then ordered some water, and flew to Canfang.

These boats in Xianquanfang are all very spacious and luxuriously built. The lowest one has two floors, and the tallest has nearly five floors.

After not seeing anyone back for a while, Ming Tan couldn't wait any longer. The rumors and imagination about Su's house in her mind were infinitely magnified, and the pictures of being with her husband before were intertwined with it.

She turned around and rubbed Yunyi: "The fire in Xianquanfang is almost out, so let's look for it too."

"Your Majesty, you promise me that you won't get off the boat, and you won't put yourself in danger."

"The fire has almost been extinguished, so it's not dangerous." Seeing that it was not far from Xianquanfang, she simply said, "If you don't let me go, I'll just swim there by myself."

Yun Yi: "..."

After Ming Tan said that, Yun Yi had no choice but to let her get on the boat as she wished.

Although the fire had been extinguished, the thick smoke above was still choking, Ming Tan covered his mouth and nose with a water-soaked handkerchief, and searched for the boat that had not yet been searched by others, shouting: "My lord, my lord! Husband!" She didn't know whether she was choked by the thick smoke or anxious, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Yun Yi didn't leave even an inch, and accompanied her, searching from time to time.

These boats not only built several floors upwards, but also had open cabins. Ming Tan felt that if he was accidentally trapped, the possibility of being trapped in the bottom cabin was the greatest, so he insisted on searching in the cabin after searching for the top.

But at the moment the cabin at the bottom was like a steamer, the temperature was extremely high, scorching hot, Ming Tan crawled up and down, his whole body was already in a state of distress.

Although Jiang Xu and Shu Jingran were not found, in the cabin, they accidentally found a woman who was tightly **** and was already dying. Ming Tan and Yun Yi worked together to rescue her up.

"Didn't find it?" Jiang Xu stood among the reeds on the bank and suddenly asked the visitor.

The visitor shook his head: "No, Zhuiying has already gone to investigate the female corpse."

Jiang Xu said "hmm" and didn't intend to continue entanglement here, but at this moment, another figure suddenly settled down, clasped his hands and said in a low voice: "My lord, my concubine is at Xianquanfang."

"What did you say?" Jiang Xu was slightly taken aback.

"The princess went to Xianquanfang in order to find you."

"..."

There was a sudden pause in his heart.

In the thick night, no one could clearly see the emotion on Jiang Xu's face, only that there was an inexplicable silence for a while, and then he moved forward suddenly.

After rescuing a woman who was **** in the bottom cabin, Ming Tan wanted to continue searching the bottom cabins of other boats, but she was physically weak, after a lot of tossing, her hair was messy, sweat was pouring down, and her face was covered with sweat. It was also all dirty and ash, and it was exhausted.

She didn't know what she was insisting on. She knew that the fire was all out and she hadn't found him yet. With his ability, he should have been out of danger, but if she didn't hear from him for a moment, she couldn't feel at ease for a moment.

She wanted to go to other boats that hadn't been searched yet.

The boats are connected by a narrow single-plank bridge, seeing that Ming Tan is about to board the bridge, Yun Yi hastily put down the rescued woman for the time being, and followed her.

"Crack——"

The single-plank bridge looked intact at first glance, but the other end was already scorched. Ming Tan had just taken two steps, and the opposite side was about to collapse.

Yun Yi was about to reach out to support her, when suddenly someone flew over, first she grabbed Ming Tan's slender waist, turned around in mid-air, touched the water with her toes, and then landed firmly on the boat .

Seeing the person coming, Ming Tan was stunned: "Husband, husband?" Her voice was already choked by the thick smoke.

"Come here, are you crazy?"

Jiang Xu rubbed her head and asked in a low voice.

Ming Tan has a lot to say, but he doesn't want to blink for a moment, and just lingers on his face, carefully identifying his eyebrows and eyes.

For a long time, the heart she had been holding in her throat finally fell down: "Husband, it's good that you're fine, it's fine that you're fine."

As she spoke, she felt that the tight string in her head was completely relaxed, light and light, and her eyes were inexplicably blurred.

Before she lost consciousness, she had only one thought left, which was so embarrassing, that she passed out just like the magistrate's wife...
