Chapter 356 Faith (3)
At this time, it seems that even the passage of time has slowed down, and every collision and shouting is enough to make the people in the hall tremble.
Even Jiang Yixi, who had always been calm and composed, began to get a little restless. Nangong Yue held her cold hand and comforted her in a soft tone: "Sister Xi, it will be alright, but they are just some bandits, they are definitely not as good as those in other courtyards. The guards are well-trained and skilled in martial arts. Besides, we all know about our outing in Cuiwei Mountain. If we don't go back later, someone will come out to investigate. Once they learn about the situation in the other courtyard, they will definitely Will come to our rescue! We just have to hold on a little longer..."
Jiang Yixi forced a smile to Nangong Yue and said, "I hope so!"
Nangong Yue smiled at her, then looked at Nangong Tsang on the other side, stretched out her left hand and grabbed her right, and asked with concern, "Big sister, are your feet okay?"
"Third sister, I'm fine." Nangong Chen replied calmly, but her slightly trembling hand still revealed everything.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Yuan Yuyi, who was sitting not far away, stood up, looked out the window blankly, and moved her lips slightly: "This is..."
Everyone couldn't help but follow and looked over, only to see the sky in the west dyed blood red like the setting sun, and there was a vague ominous premonition in people's hearts.
At this moment, an old woman rushed over with a panicked expression, and said shiveringly, "His Royal Highness the third prince, the county master, the big girl, the big thing... the big thing is bad! The west courtyard is flooded!"
"What?" Han Qixia was shocked, her face turned pale, as if struck by lightning, she was speechless for a long time.
Han Lingfu hurriedly asked, "Where is the Western Courtyard?"
Han Qixia said in a trembling voice: "The west and west courtyards are the closest courtyards to here, adjacent to the guest courtyard, just to the west..."
Han Lingfu's face was solemn, and he said, "That is to say, this fire will burn here at any time?"
How could Han Qixia know that as a girl, she hurriedly looked at the old lady, and she saw the old lady nodded and replied, "Yes. The third prince..."
"There is no way that the water in the West Court was for no reason..." Han Lingfu made the worst guess, "Could it be that the bandits have already captured the West Court?"
"Yes, yes." The old woman said in panic, "Those thieves are already approaching this guest house, and the eldest son is still outside, leading people to block..."
The old woman was talking incoherently, but no one had the heart to listen. They were all shocked by the bad news. They thought that although these bandits were powerful, they were still in this other courtyard. There are many others. The palace guards, it won't be a big problem, but now even this courtyard is about to be breached!
The firelight outside the window unknowingly filled up again, the heat wave intertwined with the air, and the scorching breath constantly penetrated into the nasal cavity, making their breathing quicker. This unbearable heat wave is enough to indicate that the fire in the west courtyard is getting closer and closer to them...
Can't sit still!
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then she stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, please forgive Yaoguang for boldly suggesting that we can't wait any longer, otherwise even if the bandits didn't rush in, we would probably Trapped in the fire! I think we need to go out and see with our own eyes what the situation is, and then make plans! See if we want to break through or stay behind." The situation was urgent, and she couldn't care about her honor.
"What you said is very light!" The head of Mingyue County said sternly, "Just rush out like this, I am afraid that we will meet those bandits head-on before we are burned to death by the fire!"
