Mid-Autumn Fire

  The days spent leisurely at the general's mansion passed by, and one day, it finally arrived at the Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole of Fengcheng was filled with joy and festivity.

  Big red lanterns are hung high, and every street is bustling with excitement.

  The Mid-Autumn Festival is not just a simple flower and moon for Fengcheng, but more importantly, tonight will be the day when men and women in Fengcheng are free to go out. If they have taken a liking to each other and both love each other, they can even discuss marriage.

  In the morning and evening, she watched the people in General's Mansion busily preparing, and she was happy to leisurely watch the show.

  Yesterday, General Wei Chi said that everyone in the general's mansion would go out for a stroll tonight, and invited her to join them. Chen Xi naturally refused, as they were just being polite and didn't really want to accompany her on an outing.

  As night fell, the sound of hustle and bustle came from outside. Her heart was a bit melancholic. Huangfu Jinghao also went out with the people from Jiangjun Fu, even Huazi Huan went out too.

  She was alone in the yard, feeling somewhat lonely.

  The flowers are blooming and the moon is full tonight, but this is not her hometown, nor is it her festival.

  She misses her loved ones and friends from past lives...

  Suddenly, fighting sounds came from all directions, seemingly besieging her courtyard.

  Sighing at dawn and dusk, this killer is indeed tireless.

  Standing in front of the window, she gazed faintly at the scenery in the courtyard. The quality of the guards left by Huangfu Jinghao could be seen after this incident.

  Suddenly, several dark arrows flew in, and Chen Xi had to retreat a few steps to avoid them. As she retreated, she felt a gust of wind coming from the rooftop, and an iron cage clanged shut around her, trapping her inside.

  If it wasn't for her timely dodge, she would have been crushed by this iron cage and broken her leg. Chen Xi's eyes dimmed slightly, and this time the person was really clever!

  She quietly waited for the assassin, but strangely, after being surrounded by an iron cage, there was no movement until she smelled a burning smell. She looked up and saw that everything around her had started to burn, and oil was poured on it, burning fiercely.

  The guards outside should have been stopped, and Chen Xi slightly furrowed his brow, this plan seemed to be quite perfect.

  If she were face-to-face with him, she wouldn't worry about her own safety at all; however, the other party knew how to trap her in an iron cage and set it on fire without showing up.

  Could it be that they have already been on guard against her? The Black Dragon Society's people? Have they learned their lesson from two failures?

  "Palace morning and evening, can you escape this time?"

  A cold voice entered her ears, Chen Xi smiled slightly: "The Black Dragon Gang's killer? Long time no see!"

  "Hmph, I'll see just how capable you are. Don't worry, all the guards have been taken care of by my people!"

  Alas!

  Sighing softly at dawn and dusk, he said quietly: "It seems that this time I must die!"

  The person on the roof who overheard her nonchalant remark became enraged, "My deceased brother is not enough to compensate for your life, today you will be the one to compensate with your life as a bodyguard!"

  To pay with one's life

  If you have the ability, then kill!

  The great fire spread to her feet, the entire iron cage was also poured with oil and ignited, some flames even burned to her floating hair.

  Morning and evening, she reaches out her hand to tie up her long hair, gazing slowly, waiting.

  With her strength, she can't open this iron cage. She is poisonous and can kill people with poison, but she doesn't have brute force.

  Wait and see, maybe someone will come back to save her!

  Waiting quietly, watching, listening...

  Everything is so peaceful, and the spread of the fire is also so steady, neither hurried nor slow.

  Suddenly, in the morning and evening, an arm was raised, shooting straight to a certain part of the roof. A muffled hum followed by a rolling sound, the person on the roof fell to the ground, "A hidden arrow hurts people!"

  "Don't worry, I'm only using ordinary poison, you won't die from it." Chen Xi said slowly, "However, if you don't have my antidote, you won't make it through today either. If I die, you die too."

  "I've never been intimidated!" A black figure appeared at the window, a man in all black with a mask staring at her, "If you're capable, then show me your hidden weapons again!"

  Morning and evening, she touched her face, because of the flames surrounding her, her face had already turned red, sweat dripping down one by one, but there was still no panic in her eyes. "Do you want to see through my hidden weapon? Sorry, I don't want to let you see it. If you don't want to release me, hurry up and find a divine doctor, maybe you can save your life!"

  "You!"

  The man in black watched as she stood in the midst of the flames, her skirt corners burning up, yet still so stubbornly refusing to beg for mercy, and anger rose up in his heart.

  But even if she begged for mercy, he wouldn't let her off.

  Chenxiu stood in the center of the iron cage, trampling out the flames at the hem of her skirt, carefully protecting herself. The roof did not collapse due to the fire, nor did sparks or even beams fall down.

  The iron cage is a predicament, but it also becomes a little protection, holding up those large firewood planks.

  Due to the splashing of Mars' sparks, the clothes at dawn and dusk slowly became unbearable, with some black holes here and there.

  The coat was even more tattered because it had to cover her head, she only wore a thin shirt, standing in the center of the iron cage with the coat draped over her head, the scorching temperature made her almost unbearable, maybe she couldn't wait for their rescue!

  She glanced up at the black shadow by the window, and he was still standing there, staring at her as if she had done something shocking, but in fact, she hadn't done anything yet.

  "What, you want to see me perish with your own eyes? Be careful, I'll drag you down with me before I die. If you don't leave quickly, I'm afraid you won't even last half a day!"

  "Aren't you afraid of death?"

  "I'm scared, how can I not be afraid of death?"

  The man in black gazed at her with profound eyes, as if he wanted to etch her figure firmly into his memory.

  Morning and evening, I touch my forehead, it's getting hotter and hotter, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer.

  Zhuge Jingze, Huangfu Jinghao, Xiao Bing, Hua Zihuan, they all played to the point of forgetting themselves!

  So she is lonely because in this world there isn't a single person who truly cares about her.

  Heaven gave her a rebirth, but also made her taste the bitter flavor of loneliness and helplessness once again. She thought of Xiaogang's song "Desolate Desert Island", and a faint smile appeared on her lips as she softly sang that song:

  Since you left, my heart has been disheartened. White apricot blossoms are flying in the wind. Fallen flowers seem to have feelings like humans do during this season. The riverbank's wind is blowing wildly and recklessly, constantly stirring up tears of parting. Such intense love can never be given again!

  A melancholy night, when memories of the past are tangled and fragmented, anxiety occupies my heart. There are flowers with butterflies, and a lone swallow can fly in pairs. In the still of the night, I wander alone, when happy lovers send red gifts to share their joy, I close my eyes and dare not look back, yet I gradually hate it and refuse to rest, with a hint of regret!

  Deserted sandy islet, who should I miss...

  Time and again, she sang out her loneliness in a low voice. After the loneliness had been poured out, however, she truly smiled.

  "Princess!"

  Two figures flew over at the same time. Chen Xi raised his eyes, bright and colorful, and rushed over without caring about anything were Zhuge Jingze and Xiao Bing who had disappeared for many days.

  They were very tacit, one person mentioned iron cage, another stretched out his hand and pulled it out in the morning and evening...

  When Zhuge Jingze carried her out of the courtyard, his body was also burned by the flames in the house, forcing him to take off his coat.

  Xiao Bing also ruined her coat as she freed herself. Both of them looked at Chen Xi with the same concern, "Princess—"
