After Xu Junjun said this, the little emperor calmed down.
After looking around, he chose a place he felt was safe and ran over carefully with Xu Junjun in his arms.
At this moment, in a dark alley across the two streets, the stone walls were covered with traces of fighting caused by swords and knives.
The bloody smell that filled the scene was creepy and almost nauseating.
Deep in the dark alley, Jun Xiaochen's face was as cold as a pond. He swung his long arm, and the sword in his hand instantly cut off the trachea of the last assassin.
Hot blood splattered on the sword and dripped down the tip. Jun Xiaochen threw the sword back in front of his guards, his amber eyes flashing coldly:
"Immediately send someone to track down the assassin's origins."
"I obey my orders!"
The personal guards who followed nodded quickly, leaving a few people to clean up the mess. Jun Xiaochen flicked his long sleeves, turned around and strode away, quickly returning to where Xu Junjun and the little emperor were.
Seeing a sea of fire rising into the sky from afar, Jun Xiaochen's face turned grim and he quickly led his men into the sea of fire.
The guards who were still searching for someone in the sea of fire saw Jun Xiaochen appear, and immediately surrounded him and knelt down to apologize:
"Master, please forgive me. I was separated by the crowd and have not yet found Miss Xu and the noble lady."
Jun Xiaochen pressed his lips together, his expression tense, revealing a rage about to burst forth. He looked up at the increasingly fierce fire, and with a move of his long legs, he rushed towards the fire scene:
"Keep looking for them. If you can't find them, get out of the palace tomorrow!"
Jun Xiaochen rarely gets angry. His aura of majesty without even getting angry is enough to scare the guards. Now, seeing his cold eyes, the guards quickly stood up and dispersed to continue searching.
It only took Jun Xiaochen half a minute from discovering the assassins had left to strangling the last assassin.
But within half a minute, the platform had turned into a sea of fire.
The people surrounding the high platform screamed and surged like a tide, and the piercing cries pierced their eardrums. Jun Xiaochen and his personal guards went upstream, following the place where Xu Junjun and the other person were standing in their memory and quickly approached inside.
On New Year's Eve today, the entire long street of the imperial capital was packed with people, and the number of people on the high platform was even greater.
The crowd was so close together that it was difficult to move forward, let alone running on the long street.
When the fire broke out, the people below the platform fled in fear, but due to their limited location, they were unable to hide in a safe place in time. They could only scream and change positions around the platform, and fell to the ground injured in the pushing and shouting.
During this half quarter of an hour, no one was burned to death, but more than a dozen people were trampled to death while fleeing.
Once someone died, the people became even more frightened and pushed even harder. In a blink of an eye, dozens of people fell to the ground.
Jun Xiaochen and his personal guards were unable to approach the platform quickly. His eyes became fierce, and he flew up, tapped the shoulders of the common people, and jumped into the sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
The fire spread rapidly, and as Xu Junjun expected, the platform could hold out for a while, but not for long.
Hearing the crisp cracking sound of the wood above being licked by the flames, Xu Junjun grabbed the little emperor with his intact arm and ran out without hesitation.
"Come on, it's no longer safe here."
The high platform that was dangerous just now has now become the most dangerous place. No matter how the people outside escape, she and the little emperor have to go out.
Amidst the billowing black smoke, Xu Junjun grabbed the little emperor's arm tightly and pulled him forward, rushing out.
"Okay, Sister Xu, be careful. There are a lot of flints falling from above. Be careful not to hit you."
The little emperor's throat was choked by the smoke, and his head was dizzy. He passively followed Xu Junjun's footsteps and rushed out covered in dust.
As the two rushed out of the corner, a lot of red burnt chips fell from above their heads. Xu Junjun pulled the little emperor into her arms without thinking, put her arms to block his head, and continued to run out.
The charcoal penetrated her clothes and burned her skin, causing large blisters. Xu Junjun gritted her teeth and led her men to run forward without stopping.
Just as the two were about to run out of the platform, a huge boom came towards them. Xu Junjun looked back and his pupils, which reflected the firelight, suddenly contracted.
The platform collapsed.
The sky was filled with flames, and with loud noises, Xu Junjun's eyes went dark.
Looking back at the empty area in front of the platform, Xu Junjun was sure that he could not outrun the speed of the platform's collapse. He gritted his teeth and pushed the little emperor forward with all his strength.
"Sister Xu!"
The little emperor screamed in surprise. The moment he turned around, he clearly saw a piece of charred wood hit Xu Junjun's shoulder with a bang, knocking her forward.
Without a second thought, the little emperor turned around and wanted to rush back to save people, but suddenly an irresistible force came from his waist, pulling him back and throwing him into the air.
When the wood hit his shoulder, Xu Junjun clearly heard the sound of the bone breaking and almost vomited blood.
Everything in front of Xu Junjun went dark, and he was knocked to the ground, unable to even get up.
There was a constant rumbling sound behind him. Xu Junjun gasped and glanced behind him, looking at the other broken wood that were about to hit his head. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in despair.
Damn, I can’t run anymore.
Just die.
At least a child was saved.
I hope Niao Niao won’t be sad after receiving the news of her death, and won’t come to accompany her so soon. She will raise the little one well and let him enjoy a few more years of happiness.
What a fucked up life.
Pooh!
Just when Xu Junjun was completely desperate and cursing in her heart, a slender figure descended like a god and flashed in front of her in an instant to block all danger.
Jun Xiaochen kicked two pieces of charred wood away, then quickly glanced at Xu Junjun lying on the ground, confirming that she was still breathing, and then turned back to kick away the falling charred wood.
Unexpectedly, Jun Xiaochen would appear at this time. Xu Junjun frowned and wanted to get up, but as soon as she moved, she was shocked by a heart-wrenching pain and broke out in cold sweat.
With a broken shoulder and a dislocated elbow, she struggled to even stand up, let alone escape.
Looking up at Jun Xiaochen in front of her, and feeling the severe pain in her calf, Xu Junjun knew that he was also injured.
Enduring the pain all over her body, Xu Junjun straightened her back, slowly stood up, and dragged her feet back a few steps, trying to get out of the danger zone. However, the injury on her shoulder was too severe. She had just taken two steps forward when her eyes blurred and she fell forward.
At the critical moment, a pair of iron arms suddenly wrapped around Xu Junjun's waist, and then his feet were suspended in the air, and he was picked up horizontally and rushed out of the fire scene.
