Feng Ning Yan roared in grief and rage, but the surrounding was only filled with the biting cold. In that darkness that made people despair, Yue Qing's shadow was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, the sound of weapons clashing came from a remote corner of the manor.

"It's the murderer!" It must be! "

The moment Feng Ningyan and Li Pei thought of the murderer, they could not suppress their hatred. Without any hesitation, they rushed to the source of the sound of the battle — to the woodshed in the backyard.

Feng Ning Yan rushed to the door of the wood house. When she saw the door open, she raised her leg and kicked it open.

The moment the door opened, she seemed to see a black figure, its body moved, kicking the firewood until it collapsed. The chopped firewood all rushed towards Feng Ning Yan.

"Yue Qing! It's you! "

She lifted her sword and shouted.

Under the wind that was like a broken sword, the firewood was cut into two pieces and scattered on the ground.

From within the flying pieces of wood, a black figure broke through the window and disappeared into the woodshed.

Just as Feng Ningyan was about to chase out of the window with her sword, she heard Li Pei's terrified shout, "Young Marshal! Vice General Yue is here! "

She quickly turned around and saw Li Pei standing at the door, trembling slightly. His eyes were fixed on the pile of fallen firewood.

He lit the fire piston, and under the flickering flames, his frightened face became even more twisted and terrifying.

"That's Vice General Yue's armor …"

With some difficulty, he managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth. Raising the fire piston, he slowly moved forward.

Feng Ning Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced outside the window. That black shadow had long disappeared without a trace.

She knew that she had missed the opportunity to track him down, so she didn't dare to leave Li Pei here alone.

She fiercely patted the window frame, gritting her teeth as she walked back to the woodpile, following Li Pei's line of sight, only to see Yue Qing lying there, with his upper body buried under the firewood, revealing only his face.

The eyes bulged as if they were living on his face.

"Dead …" Feng Ning Yan looked at Yue Qing's lifeless face and knew that this person was hopeless.

Li Pei's hands trembled slightly as he slowly pushed away the sticks of wood.

In the end, Yue Qing was the most capable assistant general by Feng Wei's side, with outstanding achievements and prestige in the Southern Ning army camp. Li Pei had always respected Yue Qing, but now that he had died in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

He stepped forward to push away the firewood that was pressing down on Yue Qing's body. When he clearly saw Yue Qing's appearance, his entire body shuddered and he fell down on his butt, "Why … "This is how it will be …"

At this moment, with the help of the fire piston, Feng Ning Yan had clearly seen Yue Qing's death.

Yue Qing faced the sky, his back facing the sky.

That's right, his neck had been forcefully twisted to the back by someone.

He laid on the ground with his chest and back facing upwards. The bones in his arms were broken and he laid limply on the ground like two flattened pythons …

A hole had been dug into the back of his heart. The heart that should have been alive and beating had disappeared.

"Ugh …" Feng Ning Yan suddenly thought of the broken limbs and bodies in the Skeleton Island Arena and retched.

Turning around, she clutched her chest, suppressing the pain in her heart.

She only wanted to lure Yue Qing out and make him admit that she was bewitched by Hua Ruyu. This way, they could talk openly and dispel the misunderstanding caused by the rumors, and give him the chance to atone for his deeds.

Yue Qing was a valiant general. Even if he had the crime of bewitching the hearts of soldiers, he should still have died in this kind of place.

But now, who could tell her what exactly had happened in the Green Plum Guild?

Seeing Feng Ning Yan turn her back on Yue Qing, Li Pei couldn't help but ask for mercy: "Young Marshal, Vice General Yue is already dead, but there is still a complete corpse, we … Can you bring him back? "

Historically, the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army who had died in the battle would be brought back to their homes. Not a single one of them would die in the wilderness.

They had the ambition to return the body and were not afraid to die, but they were afraid and would never be able to return home.

Although Yue Qing did not die in battle, he was still an outstanding general who had been loyal to the Southern Ning Army for many years.

Feng Ning Yan's eyes couldn't help but turn red as she sobbed, "Bring them back …"

Li Pei nodded his head and quickly put down the fire piston, about to carry Yue Qing on his back.

Feng Ning Yan suddenly smelled a pungent smell, she was extremely familiar with this smell, immediately turning around, and shouted in shock, "Not good! Sulfur! Hurry and destroy the fire piston! "

However, in that instant, it was already too late to extinguish the fire piston!

Only now did Li Pei realize that Yue Qing and the firewood beside him were sprinkled with a kind of yellow-green powder. It was sulfur!

Right at this moment, the flame on the fire piston suddenly burst into blue flames. The fire rose up and ignited the corner of Li Pei's clothes.

Li Pei had already eaten everything and left Yue Qing behind. He hurriedly patted the flames on his body, but when he flipped open the firewood and helped Yue Qing up, his body was already covered with sulphur powder.

The fire engulfed him in the blink of an eye!

Ah!" Li Pei screamed as he suddenly fell towards the pile of firewood.

The scattered flames were like a prairie fire as they rapidly swept over like a fire dragon, pouncing towards Feng Ning Yan.

"Brother Li!" Feng Ning Yan looked at Li Pei struggling and screaming in the pile of firewood as she ran in all directions. She kicked away the firewood on the ground and was about to rush over.

However, the fire was growing bigger and bigger, cutting off the area between her and Li Pei. She shouted, "Brother Li, run outside! There's a well outside!"

However, Li Pei had long since lost his mind and couldn't hear the shouts of others. He was like a headless fly, crazily rolling around in the woodshed, trying to extinguish the fire on his body.

Under his reckless movements, the entire woodshed was surrounded by a sea of fire.

"Brother Li — —"

Under the fire dragon's attack, Feng Ning Yan was completely unable to see Li Pei's current situation. She was shouting at the top of her lungs, but instead choked on a mouthful of smoke, coughing out until she felt a sharp pain in her throat.

The fire got bigger and bigger, and the smoke also increased. If he continued to circulate in the sea of fire, he was afraid that he would die from the smoke even if he didn't burn himself to death!

Feng Ning Yan suddenly gathered her energy and jumped up, rushing towards the rooftop.

The tiles flew in all directions, and the straw scattered everywhere.

Feng Ning Yan quickly rushed to Qian Chao's well and poured a bucket of water over his head. She was completely drenched inside and out.

Then she soaked her cloak in the bucket, tore off a piece of fabric, covered her mouth and nose, and rushed back into the sea of fire.

Even though Feng Ning Yan had come prepared, she was still stung by the flames. When she found Li Pei in the collapsed woodshed, he had already fainted from the pain.

She quickly wrapped Li Pei in her wet cloak and carried him on her back. Like a sharp arrow that had left the bowstring, she quickly rushed out.

When the two of them fell on the well, Feng Ningyan discovered that Li Pei had been badly burned.

His exposed skin was as hot as fried pork skin. It was wrinkled together, and there were wristguards and clothes stuck to his skin. It was impossible to see his original appearance.

"Brother Li …" Feng Ningyan hated herself for being so reckless, her voice was choked with sobs.

She shouldered the unconscious Li Pei and ran out from the road. At this moment, Ye Bailu was still under the protection of the Southern Division of the Interpretation Pavilion. She had to send Li Pei over to Ye Bailu for treatment as soon as possible!

"Da Da Da"

The moment Feng Ning Yan stepped out of the front yard, she heard the disorderly sound of horses' hooves.

She looked up and saw a group of people rushing into the manor and stopping in front of the main terrace.

Looking at his attire, it was actually a yamen runner from Ningnan County.
