388: Elbow everywhere
388: Everywhere is restrained. The place where Zi Jin lives now is not a separate courtyard, but a house in the back garden. So when you go out, you can see the rockery and flowing water. This is because there is no courtyard wall around the house. The fire is getting stronger and stronger.
The bigger it is, because Zijin is made of lamp oil, and the curtains and bedding in the room are all flammable. Naturally, the flames suddenly burst into the sky, and it was very difficult to get close.
Zi Jin hid in the gap in the rockery and did not dare to say anything. Through the gap, he could vaguely see a red light coming in. At this time, he heard someone shouting: "What's going on? Has anyone been rescued?"
"Miss Qiaolan has already entered the fire scene to save people, and she hasn't come out yet." A woman replied tremblingly, looking at the fire, she was afraid that it would be more dangerous than anything else.
Zi Jin was leaning against the stone wall, feeling very nervous and breaking out in a cold sweat. At this moment, he heard a series of chaotic footsteps outside, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't go in, the fire is too big, it's too dangerous..."
It turned out that the man was going into the fire to save himself. Zi Jin was stunned. He never thought that an enemy would risk his own life to save himself. There was a commotion outside, with the sound of splashing water, footsteps, and shouts. Zi Jin didn't know
Whether the man in black entered the fire scene or not, I don’t know how long Zi Jin stayed in the rockery at home. When the sound outside gradually weakened, the air was filled with the pungent smell after the fire. Zi Jin was already in the cracks of the rockery.
I was hungry and thirsty while squatting, my feet were sore, my legs were numb, and I almost lost all feeling.
It was late summer now, and it was still a bit cold at night. Zi Jin was wearing thin clothes and had an injury on his head, so he inevitably became drowsy. If he hadn't held on with one breath, he might have collapsed.
When the sky was bright, Zi Jin woke up and was awakened by the footsteps outside.
"Prince, I only found one body. After careful identification, it was Qiaolan's. Qiaolan was hit by the beam on the bed and died in the fire. I heard Yunhui said that when she and Qiaolan discovered the fire, they saw it first when they entered the door.
The lampstand collapsed on the table, then the curtain, and the lichen was burning along with the fire. Since Miss Yao’s body was not found, it seems likely that Miss Yao deliberately set the fire in order to take advantage of the fire and escape while everyone was in a hurry.”
Zi Jin's heart skipped a beat, this was the ancient version of Sherlock Holmes? The deduction was so accurate... Zi Jin became more and more frightened, could she run away in front of such a person? She just didn't expect that the maid who was implicated would die.
Zi Jin felt very uneasy. He originally thought that he had set the fire. How could anyone be so stupid as to rush in regardless of his own life? This Qiaolan was so loyal. Zi Jin felt really guilty. After all, it was a human life.
, but this was also an accident, and Zi Jin was just trying to escape.
"Mr. Yi, do you think Miss Yao is still in the garden?"
"It's virtual but real, real but virtual. Looking down, Miss Yao must have not left the garden. Although the fire broke out last night, the guards in the garden did not move anywhere. If someone goes out, they will not be alert. Secondly,
, only one body was found, which proves that Miss Yao is still safe and sound, but she was injured and could not walk far if she wanted to. The prince first sent people to search the area around this courtyard. If there is no other courtyard,
Search, rush forward everywhere, as long as she doesn't leave the garden, you can always find someone."
Damn it, Zi Jin gritted his teeth, this strategist is so powerful. If Prince Anlu really has such a counselor beside him, Prince Anlu wanted to do evil in his last life. Wouldn’t the possibility of success in this life be greater than in the previous life?
Are you sure?
Zi Jin became more and more frightened when she thought of this. She was now like meat on the chopping board, and would be eaten alive if she wasn't careful. Although Zi Jin didn't know why Prince Wu saved her, she did know a little bit, like this
This kind of heroic figure who seeks to gain power is the most ruthless and ruthless, and he will never be soft on a woman. What's more, who doesn't know that Ye Mingxuan has a deep love for him, and it is not impossible to capture him alive and threaten him.
The more Zi Jin thought about it, the more frightened she became. How could a weak woman compete with desperadoes like them? She thought she could take advantage of the fire and escape, but she didn't realize that there was such a powerful strategist here.
, if he knew, Zi Jin would never use this trick.
It's just that it's too late to regret now, I can only take one step at a time.
Just when Zi Jin was thinking, the military advisor had already recruited people to start a carpet-like search. Zi Jin looked at the small rockery cave he was in and felt uneasy. The rockery was not deep, and the cave was not deep either.
At first glance, Zi Jin had no hiding place at all.
Zi Jin looked at this place, but the place was really small, and it was impossible to hide in any gaps. Zi Jin listened to the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, and saw that he was about to find this place, and he was very anxious.
, inadvertently raised his head and scanned the top of the rockery, and suddenly his eyes lit up. It turned out that the top of the rockery was all pointed, and the inside of the cave was naturally also pointed. When Zi Jin saw this, he stepped on the small rocks protruding from the rock wall.
The rockery was originally only as high as one person, so Zi Jin climbed up without much effort. It turned out that there was a small stone slab protruding from the top of the mountain. Zi Jin thought that if he curled up and hid on it, he would be able to climb up.
Just to avoid people coming in for inspection.
Zi Jin was really grateful that he had climbed trees and dug out bird's nests in his life. At this time, he was very familiar with climbing up the cave. He quickly hid in the gap on the small stone slab. This gap was really too small.
Zi Jin shrank down hard, squeezing in so that she could barely cover her figure, but her heart was extremely nervous.
Sure enough, as soon as Zi Jin hid, he heard someone coming to the cave, "Go in and see if there is anyone in here?"
"It's a small fake cave, let me take a look."
Zi Jin heard the sound of footsteps, and sure enough, someone walked in. Zi Jin held on tightly to the corner of her skirt to keep it from falling, and was worried that the person would look up. As long as he didn't walk in, he wouldn't.
It doesn't matter, after all, there is this small stone slab blocking him, but if he walks in and looks up, Zi Jin will have nowhere to hide, and his heart is clenched tightly. It's just everyone's thinking habits. If
We entered a small rockery cave. Why would we think that such a small place can hide people above our heads? If it is true that ordinary small caves cannot hide people, Zijin is lucky, and the cave he is hiding in has this one.
The stone slab stretched out, giving Zi Jin a place to stay. Fortunately, Zi Jin was a man who had climbed trees and climbed mountains, so he was able to climb up to the small nest inside the cave roof. Luck and strength were both indispensable.
When Zi Jin was worried, he heard the footsteps of the man who just took two steps in not far from the door. He looked at it with wide eyes and walked out, "There is no one, keep looking forward."
"
Zi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to come down like this. After all, thinking about how smart the man just now was, there would definitely not be only one group of people searching it.
Sure enough, Zi Jin's estimate was correct. Not long after the previous group of people left, another group of people came as soon as she burned the incense. If she was careless, she would come out of her hiding place after the first group of people left.
He happened to bump into the second group of people, and that's when his true colors were revealed and he was caught.
This military advisor was also a very calculating person, so Zi Jin became even more careful and hid in a small den in the rockery cave for a whole day until there was no movement around.
I just climbed down from the top, my waist is stiff, my legs can't feel, my head still hurts, I feel dizzy, I haven't eaten all day, I didn't eat yesterday because I was dizzy, and I have been worried and scared all day.
I can't bear it even if I'm strong enough.
Zi Jin didn't know if she could escape from here, but one thing she knew was that if she didn't eat something, she would just starve to death here without running away.
Zi Jin made up his mind to go to the kitchen to get something to eat while he still had the strength. At this time, he was busy looking for people, so there shouldn't be many people in the kitchen.
Generally speaking, the layout of the construction of various yards is basically the same. The kitchen should not be too far away in such a garden. The construction site must be a remote place. The kitchen is an important place where people come and go. Why not build it in a busy place?
Aren't they causing trouble?
Zi Jin came out of the rockery cave and looked for the location of the kitchen through the cover of flowers and trees. It was pitch black tonight, not to mention the moon, and there were not many stars. Zi Jin was so happy, God helped her.
Before walking a few steps, he smelled the fragrance coming slowly. Zi Jin's eyes lit up. He followed the fragrance and saw that it was still thick bone soup... bone soup... bone soup?
Zi Jin staggered at his feet and almost fell to the ground. He was so hungry that his vigilance dropped. How could anyone bother to make bone soup at this time, making it so thick and fragrant? I have been looking for it all day today.
People, the kitchen should prepare more meat and wine, how can they make soup?
Damn it, Zi Jin cursed in his heart. This bastard was too smart. He couldn't find him all day. Knowing that he was hungry and thirsty, he wanted to lure him out with food. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the kitchen.
Make a thick soup and let the aroma of meat guide you...
Zi Jin's face turned pale. Meeting such an opponent was truly a disaster!
Zi Jin has never been forced to this point by anyone. In the past, her cleverness always allowed her to take advantage of the enemy, but this time Zi Jin was passive in everything, as if every idea she had could be ignored by others.
It's the same as expected first.
In this way, Zi Jin's fighting spirit was further stimulated. Mom, just come over here. Grandma, I not only want to eat meat tonight, but I also want to drink a big bowl of soup!
