Everything happened too fast.

Yan Yi had walked to a few meters to the south of the sedan chair and witnessed everything.

After throwing the fireball, the thief turned around and ran east.

Yan Yi shouted, "Protect Miss Qin!"

He tiptoed and flew after the thief.

The two men fought fiercely on the roof of a house near the northwest corner of the road.

What surprised Yan Yi was that this man's martial arts skills were unfathomable, and he danced with the big sword in his hand with divine power.

Han Yijian had already rushed over to the bridal sedan.

Han Yijian saw the moment the wooden ball turned into a fireball.

He immediately took out a black scarf, covered his face, then flew into the air, passed the palace soldiers, and rushed towards the sedan chair.

In the sedan chair, a sudden fireball fell on Qin Rubing.

Qin Rubing screamed, lifted the veil, and used all her strength to use the red veil to whip the fireball to the bottom of the sedan chair.

The burning fireball slammed heavily into the bottom of the sedan.

In an instant, sparks flew and the fire spread rapidly.

At the same time, the wooden fireball made a "crackling" sound, and a crack appeared, from which a puff of white smoke came out.

Qin Rubing was terrified and her screams resounded through the sky.

She struggled desperately, but the merciless flames surrounded her tightly, leaving her nowhere to escape.

The flames licked every corner of the sedan.

The white smoke coming out of the fireball made it impossible to breathe.

Seeing this, Qin Rubing's eyes became determined, and he swallowed the pill in his hand before he fell unconscious.

The people around the sedan chair panicked and fled in all directions.

At this critical moment, Han Yijian rushed to the sedan chair and suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it. The curtain that was originally tightly covered was pulled down in an instant.

Without any hesitation, he resolutely rushed into the flaming cabin and picked up Qin Rubing, who had been engulfed by the raging flames and turned into a "fire man".

As soon as he got out of the sedan, Han Yijian hugged Qin Rubing tightly, threw himself to the ground, and began to roll desperately.

Once, twice, three times... He kept rolling over and over, trying to put out the fire burning on Qin Rubing's body in this way.

Every roll was accompanied by sparks flying, but Han Yijian didn't care and still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Finally, after several efforts, the fire on Qin Rubing's body was gradually brought under control and eventually completely extinguished.

At this time, Han Yijian was exhausted and panting, his body covered with ashes and dirt, but his eyes were full of determination and satisfaction.

Seeing that Qin Rubing was already unconscious, Han Yijian immediately grabbed her left wrist and took her pulse.

Her wrists were smooth and delicate, without any jewelry.

The pulse feels strong, it seems to be just an external injury.

He let go of her hand and suddenly felt something was wrong.

At this moment, Chu Tiancheng and Zhu Shijie arrived.

Chu Tiancheng took the unconscious Qin Rubing and nodded to Han Yijian.

He used his Qinggong skills to fly towards the back door of Prince Yan's Mansion east of the intersection while holding Qin Rubing, and climbed over the wall to go in.

Zhu Shijie looked around with sharp eyes and a serious expression. He knew that the situation was urgent and decisive measures must be taken.

He gave orders to the palace guards around him without hesitation:

"Pass the word immediately. No one is allowed to act rashly! Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished!"

After receiving the order, the guard quickly turned around and left, conveying Zhu Shijie's instructions to other personnel.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. No matter whether it was the guards of the royal palace or the servants of the general's mansion, they did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They all stopped what they were doing and waited on the spot.

After Chu Tiancheng left, Han Yijian also disappeared like a ghost and went north.

His steps were light and silent, as if he blended into the surroundings.

With his extraordinary martial arts skills, Han Yijian hid in Yuelai Inn without anyone noticing.

Yan Yi and the thief fought for dozens of rounds and were evenly matched. Yan Yi was thinking about King Yan and did not dare to fight any longer, so he had to withdraw.

The thief was like a cunning fox, watching his surroundings vigilantly.

After confirming that Yan Yi was no longer chasing him, he quickly turned his head and galloped towards the east with steps as light as a cat.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the vast crowd, as if he had never appeared.

Yan Yi hurried back to the intersection, feeling anxious and worried.

He widened his eyes and looked at the scene in astonishment:

The originally gorgeous sedan chair was now unrecognizable and almost completely consumed by the raging fire.

Flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed.

Yan Yi stood there in a daze, unable to believe his eyes, his mind going blank.

A gust of wind blew, carrying the ashes of sparks with it.

Yan Yi couldn't help but think of that beautiful and mysterious woman. Could it be that she...

Countless questions came to his mind, but he couldn't find any clues. Yan Yi felt extremely heavy-hearted.

"Prince, where is the prince?" he shouted.

A palace guard stepped forward and reported: "Brother Yi, the prince has brought Miss Qin back to the palace through the back door."

Yan Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Miss Qin must have been injured.

He immediately turned around, jumped over the wall and returned to the palace.

Li Shilin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, hurried over and saluted when he saw Zhu Shijie. "Please forgive me, my lord. I am a little late. Please give me your instructions."

Zhu Shijie glared, "Master Li, I dare not order you. Under the emperor's feet, in broad daylight, a member of the royal family was attacked on the street. Jingzhao Prefecture has failed in its duty!"

Li Shilin shuddered and bowed again, "Master, spare my life."

"Humph, you'd better go and beg for mercy from the emperor."

Zhu Shijie ignored him and walked towards Prince Yan's Mansion.

Li Shilin quickly made arrangements and sent people to protect the scene, then he took several witnesses to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

At this time, the "thief" fled eastward along Xizhao Street from the intersection for a distance. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he tiptoed and climbed over the wall into the Prince's Mansion on the south side of the road.

Chu Tiancheng was sitting quietly in the study, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Li Yong knocked on the door and came in, "Your Highness, Gu Yidao is here."

Chu Tianxing stood up immediately and said, "Please invite him in."

"Thief", no, his real identity is Gu Yida, walked in.

Gu Yida was dressed in cloth and carried a knife on his back. He was the leader of the "Bloody Sunset", the number one killer organization in the underworld, that Han Yijian recognized.

Yan Yi's martial arts skills were far inferior to his, but his mission did not include killing the first secret guard of Prince Yan's Mansion.

So he only used three-tenths of his strength to fight Yan Yi, just to delay time.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Yidao saluted with his fists clasped.

"How is it?" Chu Tianxing asked impatiently.

"The wooden fireball made by the villain can not only start a fire and make the fire fierce, but also contains poisonous smoke, which can be regarded as a double insurance."

"Okay!" Chu Tianxing slapped the table.

At this time, Li Yong came in again to report: "Your Highness, the bridal sedan has been burned to ashes. Chu Tiancheng has returned to the palace with the injured and unconscious Qin Rubing."

"Li Yong, prepare the sedan chair and go to Prince Yan's mansion. I want to see how Prince Yan will get married."

Yuelai Inn.

Han Yijian stood in front of the window of a guest room on the third floor, thinking about what had just happened.

Why do I always feel like something is wrong?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Why isn’t Qin Rubing wearing that emerald jade bracelet on her wrist?

She never took off that jade bracelet.

unless……

The appearance of Gu Yidao made Han Yijian feel a little uneasy.

After a long time, he left the window, took out a cloth bag that he had prepared in advance from under the bed, slung it across his body, and with a flash of his figure, he left the inn and went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion.
