Chapter 140 Scorching Flames...
Chapter 140 Scorching Flames...
Inside the city.
Xiao Lingyun observed the scene for a while and found each item quite interesting, concluding that the Spark Gathering had not been a wasted trip.
"Qin Wan, hurry, it's next! This is number four, we should go to number three!"
Qin Wan smiled and nodded gently.
But she was worried about what was happening outside the city.
On the second floor not far away, Zhang Yue witnessed everything. With a single glance, the guards below instantly understood.
He gave a signal to the person in the middle of the third circle of the acrobats. The acrobats who were originally facing the two of them turned around after receiving the signal, and now they were facing Xiao Lingyun and Qin Wan.
Seeing that the person turned around, Xiao Lingyun was very excited. The previous times she couldn't squeeze in from the front and could only look from the side. This time she could finally look directly at him.
"This is the third theatrical circle, performing 'Flying Flames in the Air.' Unlike the sixth theatrical circle, this is a fire manipulation technique; this flame will change according to my pointing..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Lingyun was already bursting with anticipation. What she had seen before were all things she had seen before, only more exaggerated, but this 'flying flames in the air' was something she had never seen before.
Xiao Lingyun stared intently, afraid of missing any exciting detail.
This is fire, extremely dangerous. The servants are on high alert, fearing that the flames might harm their master.
"Everyone, watch closely!"
With a loud shout, a person in the theater circle lit a ball of flame in their hand, and as they gestured with their other hand from a distance to a closer distance, the flame grew larger and smaller.
Many people observe carefully, but cannot see the principle behind it.
But most people were just watching the spectacle, and as the flames grew larger and smaller, they also exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Lingyun and Qin Wan also clapped and cheered.
"Now comes the main event!"
This sound was a prompt. Zhang Yue on the second floor stared intently at the spot, feeling very excited and looking forward to seeing them rolling around on the ground.
As the words fell.
The flame in the man's hand suddenly grew larger. The flame, which had been flying in the air, changed direction abruptly and rushed towards Xiao Lingyun and Qin Wan.
The two stared wide-eyed, instinctively covering their eyes.
Qin Wan brought Xiao Lingyun to the Spark Club, so naturally she had to protect Xiao Lingyun's safety and tightly shielded Xiao Lingyun beneath her.
Waiting for the flames to scorch you.
Despite the screams around her, Qin Wan did not feel any burning sensation.
Slowly turning her head, she saw people fleeing in all directions and Xiao Jingyan standing behind them.
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly handed Xiao Lingyun over to her subordinates and went to check on Xiao Jingyan's injuries.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
The flames were so large that she knew she couldn't escape, so she thought of protecting Xiao Lingyun.
She hadn't expected that this person was deliberately spraying flames in their direction.
She wasn't injured; she must have been blocked by Xiao Jingyan.
Qin Wan's eyes reddened. It was all her fault. If she hadn't recommended this place, this wouldn't have happened.
She was extremely worried. If Xiao Jingyan were injured because of this, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
But after examining Xiao Jingyan closely, she found no injuries whatsoever, not even a single hole burned in his clothes.
"Your Highness, are you alright!"
The same words, spoken in different tones, have different meanings.
Seeing how worried Qin Wan was about him, Xiao Jingyan was deeply touched and grinned widely, saying, "I'm fine!"
"What are you doing here, Your Highness?" Qin Wan asked, tears still glistening in her eyes.
"There's a fireworks display in the southern part of the city today. I went to the Marquis's residence to find you, hoping to come with you, but the gatekeeper said you came out with Sixth Sister in this direction, so I came looking for you!"
"It's my fault for not informing you beforehand, making you come all this way for nothing!"
"It wasn't a wasted trip, did I? I saw you there."
"..."
As Xiao Lingyun watched the two people in front of her talking back and forth, she couldn't help but wave her hand at them.
Stop showing off your love, there are still people here!
However, she was protected by Qin Wan just now, which was really unexpected. Although she didn't know what the fire was about, fortunately she was safe and sound. Otherwise, her pretty face would have been ruined.
"Your Highness, the man is under control!"
Xiao Lingyun's people and Xiao Jingyan's people spoke up at the same time.
This was clearly intentional. This person came from the north and couldn't possibly have made enemies with them; someone must have deliberately instigated it.
After the chaos, many people were frightened and left the Spark Club, and performances in other theater circles also came to a halt.
Fei Peng tied up the three people from the opera circle and threw them in front of everyone.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
......
On the second floor not far away, Zhang Yue panicked.
The plan failed. The flames had clearly reached the two of them, but that damned good-for-nothing managed to control them.
He threw something onto the flames, and it instantly turned into white mist, extinguishing the fierce fire.
He had never seen anything extinguished so quickly.
But now is not the time to ponder this. Tracing back to the source, it was he who ordered this. I thought that as long as I silenced him in time, it would be fine.
But to his surprise, not only did he fail to harm those two vile women, he also failed to silence them.
Now he could only pray that the man wouldn't confess, after all, the amount of silver he had given wasn't small.
This place is not safe to stay in. Zhang Yue turned his body to the side so that no outsiders could see him, packed his things, and opened the door to leave.
But the moment he opened the door, it was already packed with people outside.
"Young Master Zhang, where are you going?" Fei Peng led his men to arrest him.
After saying that, he subdued Zhang Yue!
Zhang Yue was stunned. They caught him so quickly?
......
After what had just happened, Xiao Lingyun became more and more frightened. If the flames had really hit her, she would have been disfigured.
Fortunately, Qin Wan protected her, and the fifth prince protected Qin Wan.
Inside the inn, Xiao Lingyun was still trying to calm herself down, slumped in a chair for a long time, unable to find relief.
"I never imagined it was that scoundrel Zhang Yue who instigated this. I must tell my father about this and make him seek justice for us!"
Xiao Lingyun clenched her small fists, gritting her teeth in hatred. He was Empress Shen's man, and Xiao Lingyun attributed this disaster to Empress Shen.
Qin Wan was just a little curious whether Zhang Yue and the people who killed Xiao Lingyun in her previous life were the same group of people.
"Fortunately, my fifth brother arrived in time, otherwise Qin Wan and I would have really been injured!"
If the fire hadn't been extinguished in time, even if the guards had blocked it, they would have inevitably been injured.
Xiao Jingyan blushed slightly at the praise and looked at Qin Wan, saying, "It's all a coincidence. I just happened to see her. Wan'er is my fiancée, so of course I have to protect her!"
Xiao Lingyun smiled. She was deeply favored by Emperor Xiao and had never liked her mentally challenged elder brother, mostly ignoring him.
This time, it was he who saved her, which made her look at him in a new light.
"Your Majesty and your sister-in-law are truly a loving couple!" Xiao Lingyun teased.
Sister-in-law!
Qin Wan turned her head at the sound, and the blush on her cheeks visibly spread to her ears.
"Your Highness and I are not yet married, so it's a bit inappropriate for the princess to address me as 'sister-in-law'..."
Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, a report came from outside the door.
"Princess, Fangqiu has returned, and she appears to be injured!"
