He said Cao Cao was about to arrive, but within a moment, Prime Minister Duan appeared in front of him.
And behind him, a large group of servants followed.
"Where is it? Where is Qingyao?"
Prime Minister Duan was out of breath from running, and with a flushed face, he stared at the blazing fire with scarlet eyes.
He murmured in his heart that he agreed to set fire to the west courtyard, but he never said he would set such a big fire!
The fire is so big, what should I do if something unexpected happens?
Maybe it will really be self-defeating!
Prime Minister Duan glared at Madam Duan reproachfully, but in the end he didn't say anything more in front of so many servants.
Right now, the most important thing is to rescue Duan Qingyao first!
"Princess An seems to live in the house on the south side, but the fire is so big that she can't get in at all!"
The butler didn't say the last part of the sentence, but everyone could tell from the raging fire that anyone who stayed in this raging fire for so long would be in serious danger even if he was not burned to ashes! https:

"Master, what are you going to do?"
Success or failure depends on this one move. To be honest, Prime Minister Duan was also afraid.
But what's the use of being afraid?
If this move is successful, from now on, the Duan family will enjoy endless glory and wealth!
If Duan Qingyao really died in this fire, Duan Mansion would really be on the road to strangers.
At first, Prime Minister Duan thought it was just a show and was not nervous, but now, the fire was completely out of control, and his eyes were red with anxiety!
"Save people! What else can be done?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Duan had already taken off his clothes three times, grabbed the bucket from the servant next to him, and poured a large bucket of water on his head. He was wet from head to toe.
Like a drowned rat just fished out of the water.
"master!"
"Master, be careful!"
Amidst everyone's exclamations, Prime Minister Duan rushed into the fire scene desperately.
The temperature inside the house was scorching hot, and thick smoke was billowing everywhere. It was impossible to see anything clearly, let alone looking for someone in this fire?
Just when Prime Minister Duan was at a loss, a small voice suddenly came from the corner.
"Dad! Dad! Help me!"
father?
Prime Minister Duan was stunned for a moment. Are you calling him?
But since Duan Qingyao married into Prince An's Mansion, it seems that she has never called him daddy in front of him.
"Dad! It's me! I'm Qingyao! Help me! I don't want to die!"
Duan Hongyan, who was huddled in the corner, was trembling with fear. At first, she believed what her mother said, saying that the fire was all under her control.
But this is obviously just talking big words!
She may have asked someone to set the fire, but once the fire burned, how could it still be controlled by my mother?
She began to regret it from the moment she rushed into the fire. It was her dream to be a princess and a queen, but she had to have a life!
When the heat waves hit her one after another, Duan Hongyan felt the sting of fire burns on her body, and her long hair almost burned.
At that moment, she really regretted it!
She turned around and was about to go back. She didn't want to be a princess or a queen. As long as she lived well, that was enough!
But it’s easy to get in, but how easy is it to get out?
In just a moment, the road behind him was already covered in flames.
Except for the narrow place where he stood, everything he could see was filled with fire.
Wood kept collapsing, making harsh sounds, and sparks bursting out.
Duan Hongyan was so frightened that she could not move at all. She had no choice but to protect her head and squat down on the spot like a cooked shrimp.
At this moment, her mind went blank, and she even had a desperate thought, maybe she would die here!
Fortunately, there is no sure path!
Just when she was about to cry, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into the firelight.
At first she thought she was showing off, how could it be her father?
Not to mention that my father is very old, as the prime minister, he holds a high position of power. Is there any dangerous time when it is his turn to personally take care of it?
It wasn't until she heard Prime Minister Duan calling out Duan Qingyao's name that she was sure that what she saw was not an illusion!
It’s indeed dad!
At that moment, Duan Hongyan cried with joy.
Isn’t she Duan Qingyao now?
It seems that my mother did not lie to her!
"Dad! Dad! I'm here!"
Duan Hongyan's throat felt tight and she almost couldn't make any sound.
"Qingyao! It's okay! Don't be afraid! Dad is here. Dad will help you get out!"
Hearing this call, Prime Minister Duan felt that all the efforts he had made were worth it!
"Let's go! Dad will take you out!"
But Duan Hongyan was so frightened that her legs were weak. At this moment, let alone leaving, she couldn't even stand up.
"Dad, I can't walk!"
Prime Minister Duan frowned in confusion. Duan Qingyao had done all kinds of dirty work in the house since she was a child, chopping wood, carrying water, feeding horses, everything. When did she become so valuable?
He couldn't even walk a few steps!
Even if she, as a princess, wants to put on airs in front of her, she shouldn't choose it at such an urgent moment, right?
"Come on, lie on Daddy's back, and Daddy will get out of here!"
This moment is no time for gossiping. If they don't hurry up and escape, neither of them will survive.
Prime Minister Duan didn't think too much and immediately squatted on the ground and patted himself on the back.
Duan Hongyan struggled to get up and lay on Prime Minister Duan's back.
"You haven't come out after so long. Could it be possible, Prime Minister?"
Looking at the fire that was like a fireball, one of the servants whispered something quietly. Although the voice was not loud, everyone around him heard it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Prime Minister and Princess An are good friends and will be fine!"
Mrs. Duan stroked her flat belly with one hand and stared at the fire scene without blinking.
This is a gamble made by Prime Minister Duan.
Why is it not her?
Once Hongyan becomes the queen, neither Brother Bao nor the unborn child in her belly will be on the road to stardom from now on, and there will be nothing to worry about!
"Amitabha! God bless you!"
Mrs. Duan kept praying to heaven in her heart. If Prime Minister Duan could not come out, her daughter would be hopeless!
"Madam, madam, look! It seems to be the master! There is also Princess An!"
Suddenly a figure rushed out of the fire scene. To be precise, it was a man whose whole body was on fire, and he was carrying a person on his back!
At first glance, it looks like a moving fireball!
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you splash water to save people!"
After giving the order, the servants who were watching from afar immediately rushed forward with buckets of water, one bucket on the left and one basin on the right, and finally put out the fire on Prime Minister Duan and Duan Hongyan!
"Mom, it hurts!"
Duan Hongyan was so painful that she almost cried. She had never suffered such a crime in her whole life.
She didn't know how many burns she had on her body. She just felt like a layer of skin had been pulled off her body, and no part of her body was intact!
