C386 Don't ever see me again

To Morong Gan, attacking Su City was not difficult at all. But he never could have imagined that while the city was broken, that damned strict guard of justice, who was trying to cover his escape, would set the city on fire.

The gates opened, and a fiery light blazed. The people howled in agony, as if they were in purgatory.

He was so angry that his face turned blue. He didn't have time to chase them down. It was more important for him to calm the people down.

He used the east wind to break the city. However, he had to make use of the east wind to set the city on fire. The fire spread quickly, and half the sky was red. The people in the city were confused by the fire and began to run around like headless flies. In the chaos, there were countless people who had stepped on the rock or were blown away by the smoke. Regardless of whether the person who fell was dead or not, he would trample over his body like a swarm of bees. The fire was still burning, but what was scarier than the fire was the people who had lost their minds.

Fortunately, the Prince Chu and the crown prince were people who did not panic. One was in charge of fighting fire, while the other was in charge of maintaining order.

The panicked citizens all ran towards a place where there was no fire, but they did not know, and only death awaited them. The Crown Prince sent a group of his men to stop the chaotic crowd, and they rushed past the ruins, those places were all in a mess, and the smell was bad, but they were relatively safe.

Prince Chu brought a group of people to extinguish the fire, but there were not enough people, so he sent a small team to the surrounding villages to request for reinforcements. Even though it was a request, it was actually a death command. They had to go. Those who were afraid of death would be killed without mercy.

No one was willing to be beheaded. Moreover, it was a duty. They obediently listened to the order and rushed to the city to help out with buckets, shovels, and wet quilts.

Only men were recruited. Women, children, and the elderly were all left at home. There were too many people to do anything, so it would only be a waste of time if they were to go. She was naturally going to Bai Qianfan's house. Yue Xiang was very worried, as the Prince Chu was in the city, what if they met each other?

Bai Qianfan comforted them, "It's so dark that you can't see anyone. "It's okay, put out the fire and I'll be back."

She was dressed in a short coat and had tied up her legs. Standing in the courtyard, she could see the light of the fire. It was such a big fire, yet she had used water to extinguish it.

Bai Qianfan quickly covered her face with a wet handkerchief and followed the crowd into the city. There were a team of soldiers cleaning up the corpses on the ground, making a place for the corpses to be placed on the ground. Normally, if they saw so many corpses, the commoners would definitely scream out in alarm. However, tonight, everyone's expressions were very serious. They didn't even look at them and just listened to the arrangements for them to go everywhere to fight the fire.

Bai Qianfan was arranged in front of a small building. The houses in the south were different from those in the north. There were many small buildings on the two or three floors of the street.

Fortunately, there was a pond at the back of the house, many people used a bucket to pour water on the fire, but the fire was too big, it did not last long and was not of much use. Bai Qianfan used a shovel to scoop up some sand and threw it into the fire, but it worked, so some people gave up on the water and found branches to throw at the fire.

Bai Qianfan did not go down, the handkerchief on her face had long been dry from the fire and was drenched in her own sweat. These few times, she was completely exhausted, her hands were too heavy that she could not lift it.

Such a familiar voice. Bai Qianfan was stunned for a moment.

He was a tall man in armor, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his face was smeared with black, which made him look funny. Without looking at her, he grabbed the shovel and bent down to scoop up the sand, waving his powerful arms as shovels after shovels of sand were thrown into the fire.

Bai Qianfan looked at him silently, then turned and left. Suddenly she heard him say, "Stop."

She paused, and the man came over and handed her the shovel. "You don't want your stuff?"

She did not dare to raise her head. She reached out her hand and took it. Then, she turned around and left. However, her arm was grabbed by him. He stared at her with suspicion in his eyes.

"I picked something off my face."

She hesitated and didn't move, but he did himself. He gently took off the handkerchief on her face, and his expression changed from doubt to surprise. "It's you!"

Bai Qianfan quickly made a silent gesture, signalling him to keep quiet.

Du Changfeng looked left and right, pulled her to the side and whispered: "Why are you here? Does Your Highness know? "

"Don't ever meet me."

"You don't want the prince to know?"

Bai Qianfan shook her head.

"Don't want to see him?"

How should she put it, it was too complicated for her to say. With Morong Gan's temper, it would be fine if he could kill her in one go. Resentment was one thing, while Huangfu Zhuer was still around, she, as a Princess Chu, had become a joke. There was another thing, she had hidden it deep in her heart, and no one knew it, but she herself knew it well.

In truth, she was not a person who knew how to hide herself, but she had fooled anyone through her longing for Morong Gan. He used to think that death was the most painful thing because that person was buried underground and would never be seen again. But now, he knew that in comparison to death, life and death were the things that were truly unbearable.

People died, they were sad, they accepted the truth, and they slowly walked out.

It was like being eaten by ants, endlessly, endlessly, because she knew he was in the world, somewhere, and she wanted to see him countless times, and at night she lay in bed and suddenly she sat up and tried to find him, and even if he did kill her, she wanted to look at him again, and the thought came to her, and she couldn't stop, and she put on her clothes and shoes and went to the door, and once she even opened the gate and went out into the street, but in the end she never did.

Countless hesitations had turned into fear and trepidation. She truly did not dare to go see him, did not dare to do so.

Du Changfeng looked at this girl he had once deeply liked and couldn't help but sigh. He wasn't clear about the matter between Prince Chu and Bai Qianfan, and only knew that she left for the woman by his side. When he heard the news of her departure, he was very excited for a while. He had thought that one day, they would meet again and continue their relationship, but now that he saw her, he knew that it was impossible. Her heart was still with Morong Gan.

He had always been kind to her, so he had promised to keep it a secret. He touched her head and smiled. "I've grown taller."

Bai Qianfan tilted her head and bid him farewell: "I'll be leaving first."

"Alright, take care."

"You too." She smiled and carried Tie Chui into the darkness. After walking a short distance, she heard that someone was calling for Du Changfeng, it was Jia Tong. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickened her pace.
