When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

The green flames floating in the air, hidden in the night mist, looked like several pairs of eyes staring at him.

“Ghost…ghost…don’t…don’t come over here…!”

Chang Feizhang's eyes were wide open with fear in them, and he instinctively threw the torch beside him towards the ghost fire flying not far away.

With this fire, the dense forest was ignited and the fire broke out instantly.

Chang Feizhang was so frightened that he didn't even dare to pull up his pants. However, because he didn't pull up his pants and was too scared, he fell face down to the ground after running a few steps, and his injured right ankle felt a piercing pain.

But even so, it could not stop Chang Feizhang from wanting to escape. Chang Feizhang did not dare to look back and crawled back.

Jiang Lian'an happened to hear the noise and rushed over here, and saw Chang Feizhang kneeling on the ground with a terrified and embarrassed look on his face.

"County Magistrate Chang!" Jiang Lian'an ran forward and helped Chang Feizhang up, and asked with concern: "County Magistrate Chang, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

When Chang Feizhang saw Jiang Lian'an, he felt like he had seen a savior. After being helped up, he desperately grabbed Jiang Lian'an's sleeve and said in a mental breakdown: "Save...save me, Jiang Guitan save me, there is...there is a ghost ahead!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lian'an frowned and looked forward with a calm look.

In the midst of the fire, there were several balls of blue-green fire floating up and down in the mist.

After confirming, Jiang Lian'an's brows relaxed a little, and then he looked at Chang Feizhang who was holding him and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, County Magistrate Chang, that's not..."

The Doll Cave is not far from here.

After hearing Chang Feizhang's scream, the people who were resting in the camp chased after him with torches in their hands.

“Ghost…it’s a ghost…there’s a ghost on this island!”

"Quick...run!"

Those who didn't know what was going on all looked terrified and screamed out in shock after seeing the scene before them.

"Don't be afraid, this is not a ghost!"

Seeing this, Jiang Lian'an hurriedly shouted, but after a whole day, the people who were in fear could no longer listen to Jiang Lian'an's words. They ran into the deep forest with fear and screams in their eyes as if they had Hot Wheels on their feet.

Also running away was Guo Yong.

"General Cheng, it's dangerous in the fog at night, stop them quickly!"

Chang Feizhang was still pulling at his sleeve, and Jiang Lian'an asked for help from Cheng Su who had come over.

Cheng Su signaled to Hong Mingxu with his eyes, and Hong Mingxu immediately led several nearby soldiers to chase after it. Then Cheng Su looked aside and shouted, "No matter what it is, the rest of you go put out the fire!"

"Yes!"

There is no water source in this deep forest, so you can only use the knife on your body to dig up the soil on the ground, and then use the hat on your head to collect the dry soil around you or use the clothes on your body to put out the fire.

I thought that my sleeves were burned beyond recognition, and I applied the crease cream Qingchuan gave me on the inside of my arms, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Lin Lezhi glanced in the direction of Xiao Yihuo. After a brief eye contact, Lin Lezhi turned away, took off his clothes, and followed Cheng Su's soldiers and the civilians who stayed behind to put out the fire.

Liu Yunhe followed closely behind, and just as he was about to take off his coat, Xiao Yihuo grabbed Liu Yunhe.

"Young Master...?"

"It's too slow to just dig the soil. Go and clear the weeds near the fire source to prevent the fire from spreading."

Liu Yunhe's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Xiao Yihuo meant, and responded: "I'll go right away!"

Xiao Yihuo and Liu Yunhe jumped to the periphery of the fire. The weeds were all over their knees, and it was too slow to pull them out directly. Xiao Yihuo took out the fan from his waist and threw it out.

The fan moved among the weeds as quickly as a sharp blade. In a short while, all the weeds outside the fire fell down. Then Xiao Yihuo threw the cut weeds to the other side where the fire had not spread.

Leave a safe distance from the fire.

After seeing Xiao Yihuo's behavior, Liu Yunhe followed suit and cut down all the weeds in other directions and cleared the weeds on the ground.

Cheng Su was not idle either. He saw everything that Xiao Yihuo did with admiration in his eyes. He drew the sword from his waist and did the same thing.

Although Jiang Lian'an also wanted to put out the fire, the frightened Chang Feizhang held him tightly and he did not dare to let go.

Jiang Lian'an suddenly remembered something, looked around at the people who came but didn't see Qiao Ying, and looked anxious.

At this moment, Qingchuan came over quickly from the side, squatted down and looked at Chang Feizhang's injured ankle first, and spread out all the branches that Chang Feizhang used to fix his ankle.

This undoubtedly aggravated his injuries, and Qingchuan's eyes showed worry.

"County Magistrate Chang, please sit down and let me check your injuries."

"Ghost...ghost...there is a ghost..."

However, County Magistrate Chang was already in fear and could not listen to Qingchuan's words at all. His face was pale and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Master Qingchuan, why didn't Qiao Ying come with us?"

Jiang Lian'an asked with concern in his eyes.

Qingchuan raised his eyes to look at Jiang Lian'an and said soothingly, "Detective Jiang Gui, don't worry. When we came here, Qiao Ying hadn't woken up yet. Master Zhou Yuanliang stayed to accompany him, and General Cheng also left people to guard the camp. If he wakes up, Master Zhou will surely bring him here."

"So..." Hearing this, Jiang Lian'an's emotions calmed down a little, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Qingchuan, for telling me."

"You're too polite, Jiang Guitan."

After saying that, Jiang Lian'an looked at Chang Feizhang, who was holding his hand and trembling, and said softly: "County Magistrate Chang, there is no need to be afraid. The floating ghost fire is not a ghost, but a Yin fire."

"...Yin...fire?"

Chang Feizhang regained some consciousness and spoke in a trembling voice.

"I mentioned it before when we were talking about the lights in Huaifeng Village at the inn."

Jiang Lian'an reminded.

At Jiang Lian'an's reminder, Chang Feizhang's emotions calmed down. After his breathing stabilized a little, he looked back and saw that the Yin Fire was floating back and forth in the air, without any sign of hurting anyone.

Seeing that Chang Feizhang had calmed down, Qingchuan helped Chang Feizhang sit down.

The soldiers were wearing armor which made it difficult for them to take it off in time, but the situation was urgent and there were no women, so they didn't care about anything else. They took off their trousers, urinated on them, and then used the soaked trousers to cover the fire.

Fortunately, the torch was not thrown very close to the tree, and the fire was put out in time and isolated in time. Before the fire spread to the tree trunk, it was extinguished.

The fire was put out, and the people who ran away were brought back by the people Hong Mingxu had taken out. Hong Mingxu walked up to Cheng Su with a serious face and reported to him.

"General, we brought them back, but... Guo Yong ran too fast, I... we couldn't catch up with him. I was worried that something might go wrong in the thick fog, so I brought them back."

After saying this, Hong Mingxu immediately knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and apologized, "It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Please punish me, General!"

Cheng Su looked at Hong Mingxu who was kneeling on the ground, and said solemnly: "It's easy to get lost in the fog. At this time, more people should go first. You did the right thing. Get up."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, General!"

Hong Mingxu stood up.

Cheng Su's eyes were like an eagle locked on Chang Feizhang, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face. He said in a displeased voice, "Why did a fire start out of nowhere?"
