The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 317 317. Lightning strike

“The most urgent thing is to go to the prison and find out where Nehe went after he left? And why did he show up at the General’s Mansion to assassinate the Ninth Prince? Knowing this, maybe we can find a way to save Brother Feng.”

General Su suggested, and at the same time he also recommended himself to do this.

But now the Ninth Prince is under tight guard. They want to go in and interrogate openly, but they are afraid that it is impossible, so they have to find a way.

Xiao Muqian glanced at his second uncle and suddenly spoke.

"I heard from the military supervisor that there will be thunderstorms in the next few days. If it accidentally hits the general's mansion, it may cause a fire."

The words were not said clearly, but the meaning was already obvious.

Hua Shi and Feng Jinhua looked at each other, and they even plotted against their second uncle's mansion. This young general was really a figure!

Xiao Ji patted Xiao Muqian's shoulder and said with a slight smile.

"You kid, why did you go back to Dongdu City and everyone became so cunning? Did you make bad friends in the capital?"

 Xiao Muqian just smiled and didn't reply.

Could it be possible that he would say that he got all these bad ideas from Su Cheng and Feng Jinlin?

Why don’t General Su and the Feng family beat him up?

In the next few days, Fengshan was imprisoned in the general's mansion. Perhaps he heard about the Feng family's efforts to raise money to redeem people, so the Ninth Prince was polite to him and did not let anyone torture him.

As for himself, he was hiding in the main room, nominally to recuperate from his injuries, but in fact, he was having fun with Ling Guang.

 No one was left to guard the yard, for fear that their affairs would be leaked.

If the news about his masculine behavior reaches the ears of his father, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar.

 So his own preferences are important, but if it is for imperial power, he can do it at any cost.

"Your Highness, this Feng family really doesn't drink wine as a penalty. If you serve them all at the banquet, why do you have to suffer this jail sentence?"

 Long Guang said while serving the Ninth Prince.

"Huh, how can we say they are a group of untouchables? How shameless! You have to put a knife to your neck to spend money and eliminate disasters."

 In his eyes, he was very disdainful of what the Feng family, or the merchant family, had done.

When I thought that someone would come to honor me soon, I suddenly felt much more comfortable, and I also felt much more pleased with the general's mansion.

"These days, General Su comes very frequently, as if he is staying in your highness's courtyard every day."

 Long Guang complained and said that he felt a little scared every time he saw General Su, always worried that he would reveal his identity.

At that time, the Ninth Prince will be a noble man in the sky, and at most he will receive a few words of reprimand, but it will be different for him, and he will definitely not get any good fruits.

I felt a chill in my body when I thought of this, and I couldn't help but lean closer to the Ninth Prince.

Soon, the two of them were caught in the ripples again.

Maybe he was too tired, or maybe he was too relaxed, but when the Ninth Prince was sleeping soundly with his arms around Lian Guang, he heard the noise outside.

 “The water is running out! The water is running away!”

 The sound came from far away and came closer. He was so frightened that he sat up in shock.

He quickly pushed the Ninth Prince beside him and said anxiously, "Your Highness, get up quickly, you're in trouble!"

The word "Zhuishui" suddenly woke up the Ninth Prince who was still sleeping. He quickly went to the ground to get dressed. They didn't even have time to clean up the bed, so the two of them hurried out.

But when they were in a hurry, they didn't notice that the people in the dark saw what they were doing.

As soon as the Ninth Prince went out, he smelled the smell of thick smoke.

Hongguang tore off his clothes and quickly handed the wet clothes to the Ninth Prince. He casually covered his mouth and nose, and the two of them hurriedly ran outside. The fire was so intense that at first sight more than a dozen houses were on fire.

Perhaps it is due to disrepair or the dryness of the northwest. No matter what the reason is, it is burning horribly at the moment.

Worried about the safety of the Ninth Prince, Lian Guang escorted him and ran towards the gate of the General's Mansion.

On the road, I met some people who were about to carry water to put out the fire. I immediately grabbed it and showered the Ninth Prince from head to toe, and then I also got wet all over myself.

“Your Highness, it’s safer this way.”

The Ninth Prince has never experienced a fire, so naturally he doesn't know how to protect himself.

However, it was probably okay for Luo Guang to react like this, so they didn't care about punishing him, and the two of them ran quickly outside the house.

Fortunately, they were quick on their feet. When they escaped, they saw that none of his men who lived with him in the general's mansion came out.

 Suddenly my heart dropped!

The Ninth Prince and Long Guang were showered with water, while the terrible lightning strikes in the sky continued.

There was only thunder but no rain, this time they really saw it.

The dark sky and the thunder and lightning that seemed to be about to hit his head made the always conceited Ninth Prince feel a little frightened.

“The fire must have started because the house in the general’s mansion was struck by lightning.”

 Long Guang grew up among the people, so he has naturally seen things like lightning striking houses, so for him, it is not that scary.

 But the Ninth Prince is different. Lightning strikes are not a good sign for the royal family.

If this happened in the palace, I'm afraid my father would have to write a criminal edict.

And this thunder and lightning did not strike others but only struck the general's mansion. Could it be that it was a warning to him?

 After all, he deserved the great victory in Liangzhou City and everything today. Thinking of this, even though his usually domineering temperament made him feel a little worried and guilty at the moment.

After the thunder and lightning, it started pouring rain soon.

 After being washed away by the rain, the General's Mansion was even more dilapidated, giving off a sense of lifelessness.

When Xiao Ji led his army to support him, the Ninth Prince originally wanted to get angry, but when he thought of the scene of the lightning strike, he stopped talking.

 “General Xiao, please get up quickly.”

"Your Highness, the first priority is to find you a place to stay, change into clean clothes, and then find a doctor to see your injury. If the wound you were stabbed before festered due to being exposed to the rain, it will be very troublesome."

 When Xiao Ji mentioned this, let alone the Ninth Prince, even Lian Lian Guang felt a little guilty.

His injuries were fake to begin with. In times of crisis, no one bothered to put on a bandage, so there wasn’t even a scar under the tight-fitting underwear that had been washed away by the rain.

Hurryly covering his chest, the Ninth Prince remembered and pretended to be weak.

 “Everything is subject to General Xiao’s arrangements!”

"yes!"

He put the raincoats he had brought on the two of them and immediately escorted them to the nearest restaurant.

The restaurant here is still the property of the Hua family. In an emergency, we can't kick out all the residents, so we have to reserve the Tianzihao floor so that the Ninth Prince can "heal" quickly.

At this moment, Xiao Muqian and General Su were rescuing Fengshan and Nehe in the dungeon of the General's Mansion.
