The fire was very strong, fueled by kerosene and the night wind, it quickly swept through all the rooms.

Chu Yunyao had already ordered someone to move all the boxes of the medicine she had boiled in the bedroom these days and the remaining expensive medicinal materials to the carriage outside.

"Let's go, those who should be burned to death should have been burned to ashes."

Chu Yunyao looked around the other courtyard, then turned and walked out.

"Chu Yunyao!" A person suddenly rushed out from the sea of ​​flames, "You will die, and even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go."

Chu Yunyao turned around, and saw Feng Baizhe, whose whole body was burned, rushing towards her.

Before Feng Baizhe could get close, Mu Qing grabbed the oil barrel on the ground and threw it at him. Feng Baizhe instantly turned into a ball of fire, and the howling sound gradually died down. Finally, he fell to the ground, leaving A charred corpse.

Chu Yunyao didn't know if Feng Baizhe woke up by herself, or if she woke up from the pain when she was burned.

She murmured in a low voice: "You have done all kinds of bad things, I'm afraid that if you don't come to me after being a ghost, you will already go to the 18th floor of hell. If there is really hell in this world."

Chu Yunyao came out of the other courtyard where the fire was raging, and saw Wuying standing beside the carriage, holding an exquisite teapot in his hand.

Chu Yunyao smiled and asked, "How is it?"

"The medicine will cure the disease." Wuying raised his arm, "I don't have that feeling of powerlessness anymore."

Chu Yunyao paused, took out a sealed letter from her cuff, and handed it to Wuying, "Personally deliver this letter to Governor Feng for me, it's been too long, it's time for us to go back to Jincheng .”

"Yes." Wuying held the letter, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Chu Yunyao got into the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage, and asked Mu Qing who was riding the horse: "Has there been any movement in the He family recently?"

"No." Mu Qing replied: "He Changqing lost his youngest son, and he blamed He Jingyu. He's second son's leg injury has recovered, and he has contacted He Changqing. He wants to say goodbye to you and return to He's house."

Chu Yunyao asked again: "Where's Xiu'er? Do you miss me?"

"The young master misses you very much. These days, he has been learning kung fu with Wuying. He said that if he learns kung fu well, he will be able to protect you by his side."

There was a long silence in the carriage.

Mu Qing glanced at the fluttering curtain and sighed silently.



It was already late at night when we returned to the other courtyard.

As soon as Chu Yunyao stepped into the hall, a small figure rushed towards Chu Yunyao, and threw herself into her arms, causing her to take several steps back to stabilize her figure.

"Xiu'er." Chu Yunyao picked up the child in her arms, kissed him several times on the forehead, and said angrily, "Why are you still awake at this time? Are you waiting for mother? Fortunately, mother tonight came back."

Bao'er came over and looked at Chu Yunyao carefully: "Miss sent a letter. When Mr. Mu and Changyu were discussing countermeasures in the study, they said that the action would be in the next few days. The young master accidentally heard it. Always pay attention to the movement outside.

Hearing the sound of hooves and voices, the young master got up from the bed. "

Xiu'er didn't care about wiping the saliva from Chu Yunyao's kissed face, held Chu Yunyao's face in her small hands, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, before you left, why didn't you tell Xiu'er that you would be gone for so long?

Xiu'er is waiting for your return every day! "

Chu Yunyao's tears, which she had put away with great difficulty, welled up again in an instant. She carried Xiu'er and walked towards the bedroom, pressing her forehead against Xiu'er's forehead, desperately suppressing the moisture in her eyes, and sucking her nose , smiled and replied: "Mother didn't know that I would be away for so long, and Mother also thinks about Xiu'er every day, and wants to come back to see Xiu'er, but Mother can only come back after getting Uncle Wuying's medicine.

Otherwise, we may not be able to return to Jincheng safely. "
