The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

The fire at Gou Wa's house grew bigger and bigger, and now everyone in the village went to put out the fire.

Xiao Hei was also a little confused when he saw the flames rising to the sky in the distance. He had set fire to the kitchen and the woodpile, but he had deliberately set fire to the cellar as well. But now it felt like the whole house was on fire. This didn't seem like a fire he had started.

Didn't the whole village go to put out the fire? Why is the fire getting bigger and bigger?

What he didn't know was that the people of Donghu Village preferred to watch the fire from the other side. Even though they were anxious to put out the fire, they were afraid it would burn their own homes. The villagers were holding buckets of water, not to put out the fire, but to prevent sparks from reaching their homes.

If you want them to put out a fire, you have to negotiate the price.

Gou Wa's house is a detached house, not adjacent to any other houses in the village.

When Gou Wa and his men arrived, the fire had already spread to the roof of the main house. There were crowds of people outside his yard, but no one was prepared to put out the fire. They all stood outside watching the fun.

Gou Wa cried and begged the villagers to save people first, but the villagers just shook their heads when they looked at the fire.

"It's been a long time. If he was still alive, he should have run out when the fire started."

"That's right, I was the first to discover the fire. I pried open the door and looked inside. It was only the kitchen that was on fire, but no one came out to open the door even though I shouted at the top of my lungs. Tell me, what happened to your parents? They can't be sleeping so soundly!"

Gou Wa stood there in a daze. His parents... couldn't they be... He glared at Lai Pi Si fiercely.

Lai Pi Si felt relieved instead. After all, he didn't start the fire, so it was just right that the people inside were burned to ashes.

The guards Shang Mingxian brought with him hadn't expected the villagers to be so indifferent. They had come to watch the fun, but now they had to put out the fire. They had heard that there was something the master wanted inside, so the fire had to be put out.

The fire was too big, so they had to go back and call a few more people. Even with more than twenty guards and a few Lai Pi, they could only do a drop in the bucket to put out the fire.

Here, Xiao Hei led the girls out of the yard.

He had already figured out Donghu Village thoroughly. There were two exits out of the village: the east exit and the west exit. The east exit led to Dongling Mountain, and the west exit led to Daxing Town. Currently, the west exit was the closest to Linglong, but unfortunately, Shang Mingxian's convoy was at the west exit.

To exit the village from the east gate, one has to go around half the village. The four girls might be discovered before they even reach the west gate.

Xiao Hei was a bit troubled. He couldn't go to the east entrance of the village. He could only lead the four girls to the west entrance of the village.

At the intersection, he and the four girls squatted in the dark corner. He looked out and found that Shang Mingxian's carriage was still there, and there were only a few of his guards left, all surrounding the carriage. The six handsome servants were all in Shang Mingxian's carriage. There was also a driver in each carriage behind.

This convoy happened to block their way. If he were alone, he could escape in a few moments by climbing over the eaves and walls, but these girls couldn't.

He was frantically thinking of a solution in his mind. Miss Su also saw what was happening outside.

She whispered, "If only there were a way to scare the horse in front, so that their attention would be focused on the carriage ahead."

What a good idea! Xiao Hei was still wondering whether he should show up and distract everyone. Then Miss Su pointed out a clear way for him.

He took out three steel needles from his sleeve. These needles were ten times thicker than ordinary embroidery needles. They were made of fine steel and were extremely tough.

Xiao Hei just waved his hand, and the three steel needles silently penetrated into the horse's body.

Sure enough, the three horses were frightened, raised their front hooves, and suddenly rushed out, running wildly towards the village.

Shang Mingxian was sitting in a carriage, his legs massaged by a servant, feeling so comfortable he almost fell asleep. Suddenly, the horses neighed, and the carriage suddenly rushed forward. Shang Mingxian stumbled backward, hitting his head hard on the wall, and passed out. The six servants were also knocked unconscious, their screams deafening.

The three horses were frightened at the same time, and under the huge force, they rushed around the village with the carriage.

The guards were the first to react and hurried to chase after him. The grooms behind did not dare to stand idle either, and quickly jumped out of their carriages and chased after him.

The time had come. Xiao Hei called the four girls and they rushed towards the village entrance. Even the youngest, Mu Yao, swung her short legs and ran as fast as she could. Each girl ran at a desperate pace, not wanting to be a burden or lose this last chance to escape.

Even Xiao Hei has to admire these girls, their initiative is amazing!

His eyes lit up as he passed a single-horse carriage. How far could these girls, no matter how strong they were, run? Even if they were sent out of the village, the road ahead would still be dangerous. He suddenly thought, "Wouldn't there be a carriage right here?" It would be a waste if he didn't use it. Who would mind using it for free?

He called to the girl behind him, "Get on the last carriage."

The four girls regarded Xiao Hei as their backbone and climbed onto the carriage without hesitation. The carriage was half a person's height, so the girls didn't need to use a stool today. They helped each other and climbed up very quickly.

Xiao Hei thought that since three horses could be frightened, the remaining horses should not be left idle.

Several more steel needles flew out, and except for the last horse, the other carriages were frightened and ran around with their carriages.

Xiao Hei's goal was achieved. He was the last one to jump onto the carriage. He threw the reins and the horse turned and galloped out of the village. To outsiders, it looked like the horse had also been frightened and ran away.

"Oh no! Another carriage has been frightened."

"Ouch! My carriage..."

"Why is it so weird today? All the horses are possessed by evil spirits."

The fire in Gou Wa's house had not been extinguished yet. A guard came to tell him to go back quickly to save the young master, as the horses were frightened and the young master was in danger.

"What!" The most shocked person was the village chief. He didn't care about Gou Wa's parents' life or death, but he couldn't let anything happen to the noble man! This was the noble man who could cost his entire family's life. He quickly called on the villagers to rescue him.

The guards had all left, and more than half of the villagers had also left. The small number of people who remained were neighbors near Gou Wa's house. They were afraid that the fire would spread to their houses, so they had to stay and watch.

Gou Wa crawled to the yard with weak legs. With his eyes red from crying, he watched his house being engulfed by the fire bit by bit. Finally, the roof collapsed and his home became a ruin.

The fire was finally extinguished before dawn. Dust floated in the gray sky and scattered all over the ground like snowflakes. The red figure on the ground was about to be buried in the black ash.

Shang Mingxian was more unlucky. Three mad horses pulled a huge carriage, breaking two trees and destroying several courtyard walls. Fortunately, the carriage was sturdy and made of sufficient materials, so it didn't fall apart despite all the collisions.

If the mad horse continued to ram the carriage like this, the people inside would be crushed to pieces. In desperation, the guards had no choice but to draw their swords and kill the horse.

The three horses were hacked to death by the guards. Just as the carriage stopped and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, three more mad horses rushed out from behind, carrying the carriage with them. All three mad horses relentlessly rammed into the carriage in front.

The guards were too late to stop him.

No matter how strong the luxurious carriage was, it could not withstand the final devastating three consecutive blows and was instantly shattered into pieces. The exquisite carved panels were even smashed to pieces.

The people in the carriage were thrown into the sky like flowers scattered by fairies.

Their master, Master Shang, was also thrown out and flew towards the only stinking ditch in Donghu Village. He dived into the taro paste, splashing a cloud of mud and merging with the mud.

The guards were all worried. So what if the carriage was destroyed? At worst, they could be convicted of dereliction of duty and fined some of their salaries. But nothing could happen to their ancestor! He was the Empress's own nephew. If anything happened to him, their careers would be over, and they might even lose their lives.

Hurry and look for him! However, they searched everywhere nearby but couldn't find him.

Shang Mingxian woke up on his own. After being knocked unconscious, he had a dream. He dreamed he was soaking in hot spring water, and a very beautiful young woman was massaging him. However, the young woman's hands were a little too strong, and the massage made him feel painful all over. The hot spring water made him feel very comfortable. The beauty also brought him tea, which he drank in big gulps.

"Ugh! What a smell..."

"Ugh...! Pah pah pah... What is this... How dare you, you servant, give this young master a drink... Ugh!... Cough cough cough!"

"Someone come...someone come..."

The guards who were searching for their master in the bushes all turned around to look into the stinking ditch behind them.

"Sir... found it!"
