"Oh! It's on fire, it's on fire..."

"Help! Come and put out the fire..."

There were cries of surprise from the village, and some people were banging on the bottom of a basin, calling for help. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw thick smoke billowing from somewhere in the village.

Everyone was shocked! The guards immediately surrounded the carriage, and even Shang Mingxian was startled!

At this time, the village was in chaos.

The old village chief asked anxiously, "Whose house is on fire? Come on, let me take a look."

As the old village chief turned around, he saw a man running back in a hurry.

"Oh no, oh no... Gou Wa, Gou Wa's house is on fire."

"What!" The originally weak man immediately stood up straight and ran towards home. Unfortunately, he fell to the ground after running only two steps and had no strength to get up.

"Dad... Mom..." Gou Wa lay on the ground calling for his parents.

Shang Mingxian couldn't bear to hear this. After all, she was his new favorite. He pointed at the guard and said, "Go and see if there's any hope."

A dozen guards took the order and carried Gou Wa away, and the old village chief hurriedly followed.

Lai Pi Si also pretended to rush to put out the fire. He walked over to the person who reported the incident and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to let them go and give them a few warnings? Why did you set the fire anyway? You're such an idiot!"

The man also whispered, "It wasn't us. When we got there, the fire was already on."

Lai Pi Si also became confused after hearing this. He felt that his subordinates would not dare to lie to him, so who set the fire?

The arsonist was naturally the Dragon Hidden Guard Xiao Hei. At this time, Xiao Hei covered half of his face with a black cloth, hiding his iconic scar.

He returned to Lai Pi Si's courtyard and prepared to rescue people.

This time he didn't go through the backyard, but went directly through the main gate. He kicked the broken door and it broke into pieces.

The man who stayed behind to look after the house was stunned in the middle of the yard. He only saw a dark shadow flash by, and Xiao Hei had already rushed behind him. With a crisp "click", his neck was broken. He didn't even have time to shout before he was dead.

After Xiao Hei knocked the man down swiftly, he looked around the yard. Only the door of the west room had a big lock on it, and the windows were nailed shut with wooden boards. It was obvious that someone was locked up there.

He pushed the door and then lay down at the door to listen to the noise.

"Excuse me, is Miss Su in the room?" With his keen senses, he had already heard that there was someone in the room. He just wanted to remind the people in the room that he was a polite and good person.

After a long while, there was still no movement.

Xiao Hei was getting impatient. He didn't have time, so he said, "Miss Su, I was asked to come and rescue someone. If you trust me, I'll reply."

Soon, a steady voice came from the room: "Who asked you to come?"

This voice surprised Xiao Hei. "It's your maid Linglong. I've rescued her. She's waiting for you in the woods outside the village."

"What's the proof?"

"Your father is a Zhongshan wolf. The Su family's property cannot fall into his hands."

"Okay, I believe you. The key is on Lai Pi Si. He carries it with him. He's not here right now. How are you going to save him?"

Xiao Hei felt relieved after hearing this. This girl was so smart and didn't hesitate. Just based on her temper, he was willing to save her.

"Stay away from the window."

The window itself was already rotten, and was only sealed with two wooden boards nailed crosswise on the outside. These two boards were useless to Xiao Hei.

He searched the gatekeeper and found an axe. The axe was more than a foot long. Although it was not a handy weapon, it was made of high-quality materials and had a sharp blade.

With one swing of his hand, he cut off the wooden board on the window, and with two more swings, the board broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

"Quick, climb out of the window."

Soon a little girl appeared in the window. She had two spiral buns and a pair of cute dimples on her round face when she smiled.

"Hey! Young man, stop being distracted and give me a hand!"

Hiss! Xiao Hei was dumbfounded. Is this Miss Su? The voice and the person are completely different! Even though he was confused, Xiao Hei still helped her, holding her arm and pulling her out of the window.

Soon after, another girl came out of the window, and Xiao Hei still held her arm to help her down. When the third girl came out, Xiao Hei had calmed down. It seemed that there was more than one girl locked up in this small dark room.

The last girl who jumped out of the window really scared Xiao Hei.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen, tall and slender, with a good temperament, but her face... was a little hard to look at. She had a red birthmark on her left cheek, running from her forehead to her cheek, covering almost half of her face.

The girl ignored Xiao Hei's surprised look and said calmly, "I am Su Qingyan. There are only four of us locked up in there. Time is running out. Let's get out of here!"

Xiao Hei nodded, and just as the five people were about to leave, the main door opened and Sun Zhenzhen ran out with disheveled clothes.

"What about me! What about me! Why don't you come and save me?" She was talking to Miss Su and the other girls. After all, they had been locked up together for several days, and why didn't they come and call her when they left?

Xiao Hei got angry when he saw her. This woman was so vicious that she would be a disaster even if he saved her.

The girl with the twin buns rolled her eyes at Sun Zhenzhen: "Why should I save you? Aren't you one of them?"

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever become part of their group? You just want revenge on me... You... You vicious women, you're just jealous that I'm prettier than you, so you deliberately pushed me out to be abused by the evil men... Wuuuuuu... You bitches will not die a happier death!"

"Hey! Who are you scolding!..." The girl with double spiral bun was indignant and wanted to argue with her, but Miss Su quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"It's already late, young man, don't believe her, let's go!"

Of course, Xiao Hei wouldn't believe her. He felt disgusted just by listening to her talk. "Let's go!" He turned and left without hesitation.

When Sun Zhenzhen saw that everyone was about to leave, she hurried forward and tried to pull Xiao Hei's arm. She originally wanted to show weakness and beg the man if he could carry her out, as her legs were weak and she really couldn't walk.

"Looking for death!" he shouted violently.

Before she could reach Xiao Hei, he spun around and side-kicked her in the stomach. Sun Zhenzhen flew back into the main room, her back hitting the table in the middle of the room. With a crash, the teapot and teacups on the table shattered to the floor.

Sun Zhenzhen fainted on the ground, and the four girls were stunned.

"Great, great! Young man, you are so awesome!" The girl with double spiral bun applauded.

Xiao Hei was embarrassed and thought to himself, you must not go out and say that he beat a woman, otherwise his reputation will be ruined.

Miss Su apologized and said, "Sister Muyao is still young, please don't mind me, we won't say anything when we go out."

Hmm! Xiao Hei's heart was already filled with tears. This Miss Su was truly his confidant!

"Let's go!" Xiao Hei calmed down and urged everyone to leave.
