Chapter 228 Home was stolen
But Sima Lingchuan was already failing; he felt dizzy.
Zhang Langguan was also limp, his body completely draped over the two men.
The two of them, carrying the weight of Zhang Langguan, found it extremely difficult to walk out.
With each step they took, their breathing became labored, the scorching heat burning their respiratory tracts.
Fortunately, there was an open space outside. At least they could get out of this dangerous house. The three of them had just stepped out of the door.
The beams behind them fell one after another; any later and they would have perished in the flames.
The cold sweat poured down my back as I collapsed onto the flat ground, but I couldn't let my guard down now.
The platform here is small, and if the surrounding houses collapse, they will also be injured.
First of all, let alone being injured by these walls and tiles, the heat would kill you.
Fang Yuerong looked at the two people on the ground; they probably didn't have the strength to walk any further.
The entire city's guards were fighting the fire, but I don't know what they were doing; it hadn't made any progress for ages!
If he had to choose between saving lives, he would definitely prioritize saving Sima Lingchuan.
He was caught in a dilemma.
The people outside were also getting anxious. Yue'er tried to rush into the fire several times, but was stopped by the people around her.
One person goes in and dies; a group goes in and a group dies!
"Your husband and boss are inside! If you're too scared to go in, I'll go in! Let go! Don't hold me back!"
But those people surrounded him in groups and wouldn't let him out at all.
After all, Fang Yuerong had instructed her before leaving that he absolutely must not come along!
The firefighting teams outside have already extinguished most of the fire at the main gate.
However, the fire spread very quickly, and it seemed that someone had deliberately set fire to other places as well.
Wu Ziyan and Wu Chengji were sitting in the hall, their bottoms barely warm.
People outside rushed over to tell Wu Ziyan that her house was on fire.
She paused for two seconds, then burst into a tirade of profanities.
"Damn it, my house was robbed while I was away for two days! What happened to the people inside?"
"The Fourth Prince's search party is doing its best to rescue him, but no one has come out!"
In an instant, a chill spread, and not a single part of the body emerged.
Huang Ziliang has come here, and Sima Lingchuan has gone back. If one of them dies, then she will die too!
The system did not issue any warnings about their lives being in danger, indicating that they are all safe for the time being.
Going back would be of no use; she had probably already crossed the line with Cheng Xiang and Wu Chengye.
I want to set fire to all the evidence and burn it all away!
How could she let her succeed? She looked at Wu Chengji.
She also understood that when she dispatched her team to fight the fire, she heard on the way that the fire had spread and that water could not extinguish it.
Heavy sand and gravel were transported here, and the fire burned continuously, causing damage to many shops on this side.
Wu Ziyan cursed the heavens in his heart, "Even if you fight for power, you can't harm the people!"
"Water can carry a boat," but does this mean all the water will evaporate?
"I'll leave that aside for now and get the person out first."
"Then pile up sand and gravel in the areas where the fire is spreading the most intensely to stop the fire from spreading further."
"Dig a firebreak in areas where the fire could easily spread!"
Even after hearing such news, Wu Ziyan was still able to clearly and methodically assign tasks to his subordinates.
The person listening glanced at Wu Chengji and nodded; this was exactly what she had in mind.
From other parts of the city, the fire at Jiu'an Prefecture could be seen, startling both Changsun Boyou and Chu Qiu.
Thinking that Wu Ziyan was being punished with caning at home, how could she have escaped the fire?
Without saying a word or ignoring the surveillance, he put on civilian clothes, went out, and rode a fast horse towards Jiu'an Prefecture.
The streets were already rushed, chaotic, and disorderly, and the two of them were riding their horses.
The people on the sidelines hid to one side, not daring to rush into the street, for they might be knocked over by passersby.
After Wu Ziyan finished arranging things, he thought about riding a horse, but with the injury on his hand, he probably couldn't ride.
Fortunately, no one showed any signs of life-threatening danger.
She still hired the fastest carriage, since his residence was on fire.
Then he, as the person involved, should also be present, otherwise it will arouse suspicion from the outside world.
Moreover, you should make yourself look disheveled so that you can pitifully cry to the Empress later.
"Big sister, I'll go ahead first. You and Ziliang, remember to come and meet me after you've finished dealing with things."
"Don't worry, I will protect him well."
Wu Ziyan was puzzled. How could her older sister understand her so well? She didn't even need to remind her; her sister knew.
"Thank you, elder sister."
Once inside the carriage, Huang Ziliang had just arrived and hadn't even said a word before turning back.
Huang Ziliang originally wanted to go back with them, but he was too weak to even lift a matchstick.
It's best to stay with Wu Chengji obediently.
It would be a good opportunity for him and Wu Chengji to discuss what would happen next.
As Wu Ziyan left, she gave her a gentle smile.
She trusts him completely, but she doesn't trust the men in her home.
Mo Baiyun is not like Sima Lingchuan, who is rather stubborn. If someone is injured in a fire, he will definitely go to save them.
Han Yuxiu had just come out of his room and changed his clothes when he saw the towering flames in the distance.
After thinking about it for a moment, I suddenly remembered that wasn't that the direction of Jiu'an Prefecture?
Although Wu Ziyan wasn't in the mansion, there were other people there!
"Mother, I need to go out for a bit!"
"Oh dear, which house is on fire? Such a big fire must have spread this far."
The old physician Han was still sighing
She heard Han Yuxiu say it was from Wu Ziyan's residence, and her eyes widened in disbelief. Who dared to set fire to Jiu'an Mansion?
"Don't panic! Mother will go with you!"
With a fire this big, it would be a shame if no one died or was injured.
If Han Yuxiu goes alone, he definitely won't be able to handle it all.
She also carried her medicine box on her back and set off in her own carriage towards Jiu'an Prefecture.
Chu Qiu was on the way, sweating profusely from his forehead.
Thinking that if the people in their household were heartless and left Wu Ziyan alone in the room, she would be burned to death!
As a result, he whipped the horse's rump twice more.
At the alley entrance just before reaching Jiu'an Prefecture, they bumped into Changsun Boyou.
"Chu Qiu?"
"Eldest grandson?"
"No time! Let's hurry in and check on the people inside!" The two of them said in unison as they dismounted.
There was no time for pleasantries; they all rushed toward the gate, where the fire had already been extinguished.
People gradually came out of the house; they were all servants, maids, and nannies.
The two men simultaneously grabbed two other people and asked, "Where is the Fourth Prince?!"
The two men shook their heads simultaneously, since they hadn't seen Wu Ziyan since yesterday.
If they suddenly rushed up to her and asked where she was, then they genuinely didn't know.
It's very likely that they were blinded by their anxiety and rushed inside without thinking carefully.
The captain of the guard who was putting out the fire outside recognized the two men, but no matter how much he called out to them, they seemed not to hear him.
