Volume 1: Storm in the Western Regions, Chapter 82: The young lady has a big background
Hearing this, Zhao Rang and Yuan Ming stood up quickly and ran outside, wanting to see the situation.
It's a pity that Yuan Mingkong's body has not fully recovered yet. He got up a little violently when he stood up, and he immediately felt dizzy and out of breath.
Before I even crossed the threshold, I felt my heart was about to jump out of my throat. I had no choice but to reach out and hold on to the door frame, gasping for air.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Rang quickly asked Ximen Dazhuang to come forward to help him, and asked him to stay in the house and take good care of Yuan Mingkong and Yuan Kexin. He also asked the deputy shopkeeper to go to the next door room to call Ye Sanniang.
As a result, as soon as she left the house, she saw Ye Sanniang already standing in the courtyard, staring at the rising black smoke, with a slightly worried look on her eyebrows.
When he was in a trance, he didn't notice that Zhao Rang was already standing beside him, but he was startled instead.
Zhao Rang had never seen Ye Sanniang show such a panic look, and he knew at that moment that the fire should not be lit easily.
"What does the boss lady feel?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Ye Sanniang calmed down her mind and continued to turn her gaze to where the black smoke was rising. After a long time, she shook her head and said:
"Nothing, let's go and take a look!"
Zhao Rang heard that there was something hidden in Ye Sanniang's words, but he couldn't know what Ye Sanniang was hiding by just guessing, so he had to go with her to investigate the situation.
Chen Liushu and his newly married lady were placed under house arrest in the courtyard where Zhao Rang and Xiaolan had a fierce battle. As soon as he and Ye Sanniang walked to the entrance of the courtyard, they saw several men carrying water basins to put out the fire, running from inside.
When they came out, everyone looked gray and gray, with only one pair of eyes showing some color.
"What's going on inside?"
Zhao Rang grabbed one of the guys who was running away with their heads in their hands and asked.
The man was crying because of the smoke rising from the fire. He was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Rang. Before he could see who it was, he immediately cursed him.
Zhao Rang was not angry and asked again calmly. The waiter heard something was wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and saw that it was Zhao Rang. He quickly dropped the basin in his hand, bowed and saluted, and replied:
"Mr. Zhao, we were originally ordered to be on duty here, but for some reason, it suddenly caught fire, and..."
Zhao Rang asked:
"And what?"
The guy looked back with some fear and continued in a trembling voice:
"And there is an evil wind in the yard, which is blowing the fire bigger and bigger! The water brought by the little ones is of no use at all! If the evil wind is not solved, the yard will be destroyed..."
After Zhao Rang heard what the clerk said, he didn't make things difficult for him. He patted his shoulder and asked him to go down and rest first. Then he was going to discuss with Ye Sanniang how to deal with it. When he turned around, he found that Ye Sanniang had already entered the yard.
What happened in front of him was something that even Zhao Rang didn't expect to be so serious!
Raging flames soared into the sky, enveloping the only three-story building in the courtyard. There was also an unexplained wind that was swirling around the building. The wind assisted the fire, and the fire borrowed the wind. The two merged into one,
It became more and more intense. Not only did it swallow up the entire small building, it also ruthlessly swallowed up all the vitality and hope.
When Zhao Rang was young, he witnessed a big fire in his city. The flames burned everything it encountered, turning everything into ruins and ashes. Under the thick smoke, the whole sky became extremely terrifying.
, like the night scene of a beast, shining with an evil light in the abyss.
The people of half the city fled in terror and struggled in the sea of fire. The heart-wrenching cries were mixed with the crackling sound of the flames, and finally turned into a silent death, leaving only chaos and despair.
The Zhao family where Zhao Rang lived was spared because they mobilized all their manpower and dug a ravine one foot deep and two feet wide around the mansion.
The fire burned for three and a half days. After the fire, nothing was left except the charred remains. Countless people's dreams, property and lives were shattered in the bursting fire.
This memory can be called one of the things Zhao Rang least wants to recall. However, the people who survived the fire later experienced the deepest pain and became more united and supported each other out of the darkness, which gave him some hope.
comfort.
But the situation in front of him was completely different. At least the fire that was sealed in Zhao Rang's memory was not blessed by this evil wind. What happened in front of him had exceeded Zhao Rang's cognition, and he had no idea how to deal with it.
.
Zhao Rang suppressed his surprise and was about to say something to Ye Sanniang, but was interrupted by her:
"look!"
The window lattice, door frames, and everything outside the walls of the three-story building have become fire vents, belching out blazing flames.
Following Ye Sanniang's gaze, Zhao Rang saw a vague figure deep in the doorway, slowly moving forward, getting closer and closer.
Such a fire is enough to swallow up all life, how can there be any living people?
Besides, the only people in this small building were Shen Liushu and his young lady who was married back from the brothel.
Zhao Rang and Ye Sanniang both stared at the figure. When they slowly approached, they found that even the fire had made way for it and separated from the middle to both sides. And this figure was actually wrapped in the same thing as the one outside the small building.
Evil wind.
After completely walking out of the small building, Zhao Rang saw clearly that the fallen figure was no one else, but the young lady from the brothel whom Shen Liushu had just married!
It's just that the face is still the same, but the temperament around him has completely changed. It's like he's a completely different person!
At this moment, she was standing in front, wearing a red dress, suppressing the firelight behind her. The red dress was flowing and swaying, and her whole body was as noble as a lotus! Her long red and black hair fell down to her waist, and her slightly raised eyebrows revealed
There was a look of perseverance. Those eyes were clear and bright, but bottomless, as if they were hiding endless stories and secrets.
She seemed to know that Zhao Rang was staring at her, so she deliberately took a few steps forward, each step as if stepping on the petals of a flower. She held a long sword in her left hand, and her slender fingertips lightly slid across it, like a swimming dragon.
Jinghong, free and swift.
This inadvertent movement perfectly combines power and grace, and seems to be able to shock the world! It becomes a scorching color, like the brightest star in the sky, shining unobtrusively. No matter who sees it, it will never be forgotten!
After staring for too long, Zhao Rang was a little distracted. It wasn't until his eyes suddenly darkened that he realized that the three-story building that was still burning just now had completely extinguished the fire. There was a thick smell of burning in the air, and there was a constant...
A crackling sound.
However, the sense of oppression coming from this woman made Zhao Rang panic inexplicably.
A gust of wind blew behind me.
Not the evil wind that enveloped the small building before, but the real summer evening breeze.
The evening breeze blew over Zhao Rang's back, bringing a chill!
It turned out that Zhao Rang had a thick layer of cold sweat on his back at some point. When the wind blew him, he couldn't help but shudder. He was so excited that he immediately slashed his chest.
Seeing this, the woman slowly raised the corners of her mouth and also raised the long sword in her hand.
Zhao Rang saw a few crystal blood beads hanging on the long sword in her hand. The woman held the long sword in front of her and shook it left and right. The blood beads also rolled around on the sword, and then she He actually stuck out his tongue, licked it lightly, and ate it all in his mouth!
"you……"
Zhao Rang opened his mouth and only uttered one word, which was stuck in his throat. He coughed violently, but he could hardly hold the knife in his hand.
"You want to ask, who am I?"
The woman's red lips parted slightly, and her voice was extremely charming, as if it was poured directly into Zhao Rang's mind from his Heavenly Spirit Cap, rather than being heard through his ears!
"I am Chen Liushu's little wife! Haha!"
The woman asked and answered herself, but her tone was obviously mocking, mocking Zhao Rang's ignorance and insignificance.
Zhao Rang once thought that he had seen enough of the world, and felt that all the noise and excitement were just a drop in the ocean. But now when he was facing the woman in red, he suddenly felt that she could be a drop in the ocean!
"By the way, shouldn't you ask Shen Liushu?"
The woman asked, seemingly puzzled.
Her tone returned to calm.
Jingping said without any emotion, just like a dead person!
Although dead people can never speak, if they could, it would be like this.
Zhao Rang pursed his lips and did not ask about Shen Liushu. Because his fate was obvious, and the blood beads on the sword of the woman in red could already explain everything.
After a moment of silence, the woman in red saw that Zhao Rang neither spoke nor drew a sword, her eyes moved slightly, a moment of disappointment flashed, and then she said:
"Okay, since you don't ask, it means you don't care. That's it for now, I have other things to be busy with!"
As soon as the last word was spoken, the woman in red's long skirt moved without any wind, as if it was about to rise in the wind.
"Now give me the account book that Yun Lifei held last, and then I will allow you to choose a comfortable way to die."
Zhao Rang's eyes gradually became sharp. He thought that since the woman in red wanted something from him, she must have just threatened him with harsh words and would not seriously attack him. As for raising his hand to extinguish the fire in a three-story building, Zhao Rang He also felt that there must be some cleverness involved, but he didn't know about it, so it didn't count.
But he suddenly remembered that Yuan Mingkong told him earlier that he had heard Shen Liushu talking to a woman in the coffin. Could it be that what Yuan Mingkong heard was the so-called little lady in front of him? What if? It's her. What does this woman have to do with the few irrelevant words Yuan Mingkong recorded on the coffin lid?
"Oh, forget it, you are too lazy."
The woman in red sighed and said, interrupting Zhao Rang's meditation.
"I'd better go get it myself!"
After the woman finished speaking, she hung the sword on her waist and prepared to set off.
"Destroyed Cult!"
Zhao Rang said something out of nowhere.
After hearing this, the woman in red suddenly froze, her ice-like face suddenly twisted, and asked breathtakingly:
"Where did you know that?"
She didn't know that Zhao Rang just connected the first two words of the words Yuan Mingkong wrote on the coffin lid and said them out. But seeing the reaction of the woman in red, Zhao Rang knew that he had encountered a blind cat. Damn it, you guessed it right by accident!
