Chapter 176 Rescue the Girl
I saw a flash of fire reflected in the pupils of both of them, and the wildfire, along with the cold wind, was overwhelming towards them.
"Yu'er, be careful." Shangguan Nanxing roared, pulled Su Yue over and held her in his arms.
Then, he felt some luck at his feet and leapt away quickly.
When they landed in a safe place and looked back, they found that the place where they had just stood had been engulfed by the wildfire.
The blazing firelight reflected on their faces, and because they were still a little close, their faces were a little red from the heat.
"Yuer, let's stay away from it. This forest fire is really dangerous with the wind." After Shangguan Nanxing said this, he took Su Yue and jumped to a slightly safer place.
"Brother Nanxing, has the emperor ordered the digging of a firebreak?" Su Yue suddenly asked as he watched the wildfire getting farther and farther away from him.
“Yes, we have dug before, but the speed was far behind the spread of the wildfire. Finally, my father had to give up South Mountain and directly dug a firebreak at the junction of South Mountain and West Mountain. Now, the firebreak is still being dug.
But looking at the intensity of the fire just now, this firebreak might not be of much use. ”
Shangguan Nanxing looked at Su Yue, his eyes full of worry.
If he hadn't known martial arts, he and Yue'er might have died in the fire just now.
No wonder dozens of firefighters died in these three days.
Just as the two of them were watching the raging wildfire and quickly thinking of ways to put it out, Shangguan Nanfeng also went up the mountain. Under the guidance of the fire-fighting team, he quickly approached the direction of Su Yue and the others.
But halfway through, he met two girls.
The two girls were now surrounded by wildfire. They were holding each other with fear on their faces. The situation was very critical.
"Qingzhu, take a few people to rescue them." Shangguan Nanfeng didn't care about the lives of the people here until he saw a familiar face.
If one of these two girls is not Xiaohe, then who else could it be?
It turned out that Xiao He and Su Qing saw Su Yue going up the mountain, even though Su Yue asked them to stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for her to come back.
But out of concern for their master, Xiao He and Su Qing still went up the mountain hand in hand.
Although they were very careful and stayed away from the forest fire not far away, a gust of mountain wind blew just now, and the forest fire seemed to have eyes and rushed straight towards them.
The two of them were women, and there was no way they could escape from the wildfire. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by the wildfire.
"Thank you, Second Prince, for saving our lives." Xiao He and Su Qing were rescued by Qing Zhu and others. Regardless of their own embarrassment, they ran to Shangguan Nanfeng and knelt down to thank him for saving their lives.
There was no wildfire here originally, and naturally there were no firefighters here. Who would have thought that a mountain wind suddenly blew and blew the wildfire over here.
The two of them were so scared that they forgot to ask for help for a moment, and just then they met Shangguan Nanfeng coming over.
"It's okay. Where's your lady?" Shangguan Nanfeng motioned for the two to get up.
After the two of them stood up, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Su Qing only heard the familiar voice of the Second Prince, so he mustered up the courage, quietly raised his head, took a look, and quickly lowered his head again.
The Second Prince, she then remembered that when she escaped and first met the Second Miss, it was the Second Prince who helped them solve the problem.
This time, it was the second time that the Second Prince saved himself.
My heart started beating fast and my cheeks suddenly turned red, spreading all the way to the tips of my ears.
However, because Su Qing lowered his head, and Shangguan Nanfeng's attention was on Xiao He, he naturally did not notice Su Qing's expression.
"Replying to the Second Prince, the Second Miss went up the mountain with the Third Prince earlier, saying that they were going to find a way to put out the fire. Su Qing and I were worried, so we followed them. The servants were useless and lost the Miss."
What Xiao He said before was all true, except for the last part where she said she lost the young lady, which was a lie. She naturally knew which direction the second young lady was.
However, the Second Prince had ulterior motives towards the Second Miss. She had served the Second Miss for so long that she could naturally see that the Second Miss hated the Second Prince very much.
"Xiao He, the Second Miss and the Third Prince clearly went in that direction." Su Qing raised his head, pointed forward casually, and looked at Xiao He with confusion.
Xiao He could only laugh it off and said that she was just frightened by the fire and forgot about it for a moment.
"It's normal for a little girl to be timid. You are quite smart." Only then did Shangguan Nanfeng glance at Su Qing with an admiring tone, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Su Qing was very unfamiliar.
"Thank you for the compliment, Second Prince." Su Qing bowed lightly, his tone nervous.
"Are you also the maid next to the second young lady?" Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Su Qing's blushing face and guessed something, but just smiled evilly.
He has always been confident in his own charm, but Su Yue is just a special case.
"Replying to the Second Prince, yes." Su Qing was afraid of saying something wrong, so he answered very nervously.
"Oh, what's your name?" Obviously, Shangguan Nanfeng had forgotten that he had saved Su Qing before. After all, his mind was entirely on Su Yue.
"My name is Su Qing." Su Qing gave her name with red ears.
"Su Qing, that's a good name." Shangguan Nanfeng said this in a low voice, then turned to look at Qingzhu beside him.
"Qingzhu, send a few people to take them down. The fire on this mountain is ruthless. The two little girls are in too much danger." Shangguan Nanfeng waved his hand, signaling the people around him to take Xiaohe and the other girl down the mountain.
Su Qing followed the others in the direction they were heading back. Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she turned back quietly.
But the second prince looked at her with a faint smile.
When Su Qing met those fox eyes, her cheeks turned completely red and she turned back in a hurry.
Because she was too nervous, her steps were unsteady. If Xiao He hadn't been quick-eyed and helped her, she would have fallen down on the spot.
"Su Qing, what's wrong with you? They say it's easier to go up a mountain than to go down. You have to be careful and don't hurt yourself." Xiao He supported Su Qing steadily and then spoke worriedly.
"No, it's okay. I was careless just now." Su Qing explained hurriedly, but she never raised her head. She pretended to look at the mountain road, staring at her feet so as not to let Xiao He notice her blushing face.
"Just be careful." Xiao He saw Su Qing lowering her head and thought she was just looking at the road, so she didn't say anything else.
Shangguan Nanfeng saw Su Qing's embarrassed look and turned around with satisfaction.
He said that he still had some charm, and he had almost doubted himself before because of Su Yue.
But Su Qing does have a good helper.
Thinking of Su Qing's identity and the medicine his mother gave him, a calculating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Qingzhu, let's go quickly." Shangguan Nanfeng looked up and saw the direction Su Qing had pointed to. Fortunately, there was a winding path leading up the mountain.
