Chapter 1936 The hand holding her suddenly tightened
Although her movements were gentle, even cautious, Zhu Feng was now fully alert because of the fire.
This little movement naturally did not escape his perception, and he frowned slightly.
But, nothing was said.
He just walked forward with a complicated expression.
Just now, when he walked over, he originally wanted to go to the front of the courtyard. This fire came strangely and it couldn't be without a purpose. The most likely possibility was that he was the target.
So, he wanted to see what was going on here.
However, he didn't expect to hear the sound of "bang bang" knocking on the door behind his residence.
At first, he thought it was an assassin doing something behind him, so he immediately went around, but as soon as he got closer, he heard Xue Yun shouting "Young Master Huang".
At that moment, he thought he had heard wrongly.
However, the sound seemed too real, so he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he actually saw Xue Yun picking up a red-hot stone and smashing the lock on the back door.
At that moment, he thought he had seen it wrong again.
However, the one standing there, beating and shouting desperately, was clearly Xue Yun, whom he looked down upon. Her white and soft hands, belonging to a doctor, were so burned that they smoked when she grabbed the stone, but she didn't care at all and struggled desperately like a trapped beast.
But when she turned around and saw herself, all the anxiety on her face turned into a smile, and she even ignored the burns on her body.
In order to save herself, she even risked her life...
Thinking of this, Zhu Feng looked down at her again.
She immediately felt the slender body in her arm, which was obviously a woman's, trembling slightly. It was probably at this time that she came to her senses and realized how dangerous it was.
When Zhu Feng strode out of the bamboo garden behind the house, he heard a loud bang.
A large area of thick bamboo behind him collapsed due to the fire.
There was a loud bang.
It actually made a big hole in the wall next to it!
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose up, and the fire dragon roared and soared into the sky. Zhu Feng looked back and frowned, and Xue Yun's face turned pale with fright.
Just now, if Young Master Huang hadn't come and taken her away—
I'm afraid she is buried in it now.
He couldn't help but shiver again and looked up at Zhu Feng, only to see that his angular face looked even harder than a rock in the light of the fire, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Xue Yun said softly: "Mr. Huang..."
"Um?"
"You, you weren't in there just now?"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Of course I'm not in there."
Xue Yun was stunned: "But didn't those people all come to your side this morning——"
As they were talking, Zhu Feng had already led her around the courtyard. When Xue Yun looked up, she saw flames rising from the river in front of her, and billowing smoke almost obscured the entire courtyard.
Behind the thick smoke, in the courtyard on the other side, a group of people slowly walked out.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Lord Ye who came with them this time.
There were a few others, obviously their personal soldiers and some people from the Western Regions.
Xue Yun suddenly understood: "You——"
Zhu Feng said: "We are on that side."
"……ah?!"
This morning, he only asked Gu Yiyou to accompany the special envoys to drink tea in the open pavilion on this side. However, when the real meeting came, Gu Yiyou led the special envoys to walk across the bridge on this side, but then came down from the bridge on the other side.
Go around to the lobby opposite.
So, there is actually no one in the residence here.
Originally, they had not planned to make it so complicated, but when he came to the Lianxin Hall yesterday, he found that everything in this place was arranged very well, except for the river. Although it was the most outstanding part of this beautiful scenery, in his eyes, it became the only flaw in this place.
Or rather, weakness.
Because he doesn't just look at a place to appreciate its beauty.
For people like them who have been fighting for many years, when they arrive at a place for the first time, the first thing they do is not to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but to check the safety and loopholes of the place.
Will it be easily attacked?
In order to verify his idea, he walked out of the room and looked around last night, and then he met Xue Yun on the bridge.
He soon discovered that the rest of the Lianxin Hall was very well arranged, except for this river, which might become a hidden danger.
Therefore, even though Ying Shao had arranged a lot of people around, he still arranged the meeting place in the lobby on the other side.
Although the fire also burned over there, it only reached the door. Unlike this side, it was not surrounded by water on all sides, but was almost surrounded by flames.
He came here just to check if anyone was coming.
But I didn't expect to meet a——
Xue Yun is so stupid!
At this time, Xue Yun seemed to understand, and she said softly: "I, I thought you were in here, and I was afraid that you didn't know about the fire, so I came to find you. I didn't expect——"
“…”
She felt both ashamed and guilty when she said this, especially when she thought about how she had just banged on the door like crazy at the back door, crying out his name, and then looked at Zhu Feng's still cold face and indifferent eyes in the firelight.
She just felt uncomfortable all over.
She was afraid that the tiny thoughts in her heart that she couldn't show to others had already been known by him.
She asked cautiously and softly, "Mr. Huang, I'm causing you trouble, am I not?"
“…”
Zhu Feng looked down at her again.
He just wanted to come over and take a look. The arsonist would not just set the fire and leave it at that. If he really wanted to kill himself, he should have a backup plan. He just wanted to see if anyone would rush to his residence.
However, before I got there, I turned to the back door because I heard her voice, and I still don’t know what’s going on in front.
It really is a nuisance.
However, seeing that she was covered in wounds.
After a pause, he said, "No."
Hearing him say this, Xue Yun immediately smiled again and said softly: "That's great, I was afraid that I would miss the important matter of the young master."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent again.
But he didn't respond, only saying, "Can we go now?"
“…”
His words made Xue Yun stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly came to his senses. He was still being held by Zhu Feng. His face immediately flushed red, and he stammered, "I, I can walk now. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Huang."
As she said this, she was about to jump out of his arms.
But just when she was about to leave his arms, Zhu Feng's hand around her suddenly tightened and he held her in his arms again.
