On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1877 Just a Small Role

Zhao Laosan confessed everything before he could even withstand thirty lashes.

According to him, he was just a small-time character and used to make a living by running a grocery store, but one day someone came to him.

He was indeed asked to do something, but it was not him who said it or threatened him. Instead, he was tempted with money and agreed on his own initiative.

His job was to keep watch and pass on messages secretly. Only a small part of the things in the box were his, and most of them were kept by him for others.

This time he contacted Wei Luting under the instructions of the person behind the scenes.

"Who is he?" Song Ping asked.

Zhao Laosan was sweating profusely from the pain, and he spoke incoherently while gasping for breath.

Song Ping went to reply and came back after a while.

"The prince has ordered, keep fighting!"

Zhao Laosan let out a wail and fainted.

……

Yan Ruyu personally brought silver ingots and spring swords to a small courtyard.

As soon as he arrived nearby, Yinding had no time to check the situation when he suddenly saw thick smoke rising.

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.

Yinding's eyes widened: "I'll go take a look."

Quan Dao stood where he was, not daring to move away, holding the knife and guarding Yan Ruyu.

At this time, the gong sounded, and many people realized that there was a fire here, and hurried over to put out the fire.

Yan Ruyu secretly thought that this was not good. When there were too many people, there would be chaos. Not only would the person they wanted to catch be frightened, but he might also take the opportunity to slip away.

Quan Dao was also a little anxious. He held the knife tightly and looked at the people passing by vigilantly.

Yan Ruyu whispered, "Don't be too nervous."

At this time, more and more people came out, and the silver ingots came out. Their faces didn't look good. No need to ask, it must be something bad.

"Princess, the place where the fire started is exactly where we are going."

As expected.

Yan Ruyu stared without saying a word. Many people were coming and going, some carrying basins, some carrying buckets, and some holding large brooms.

Various.

"Did you see how the fire started?"

"It started from the side room. It looked like some debris in the house, a torn quilt or something."

Quan Dao said, "How could it catch fire for no reason? Could it be intentional?"

Yinding nodded: "I think so too."

"But, there are so many people now, I don't know which one it is."

Yan Ruyu was watching the crowd going to put out the fire, when suddenly a man appeared in her sight. He was in his sixties, with gray hair, walking with a bent waist and a cane in his hand.

The man walked over slowly and was about to pass by them.

Yan Ruyu suddenly said, "Zhao Laosan."

The man paused slightly, but only for a moment before continuing forward.

Yan Ruyu immediately took action and shouted, "Stop him!"

When Yan Ruyu called out "Zhao Laosan", Yinding had already rushed out, and Quandao also went up with a knife.

But the old man turned his wrist and the cane in his hand turned into a long sword.

The tip of the sword swept straight towards Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu sneered. Was he treating her like a soft persimmon?

Two knives appeared in his palms, and he went straight forward without dodging or avoiding.

The two swords and the swords were on the shelf, and with a clang! sound, they did not give in at all.

The old man's eyes changed slightly. He thought Yan Ruyu was a woman and it would be easiest to capture her. He didn't expect that!

In a moment of hesitation, Yan Ruyu had already turned defense into offense, and she swung her two swords with great force and launched a rapid counterattack!

The old man took two steps back and immediately realized that he could not continue fighting. He had to seize the opportunity to escape after creating the chaos with great difficulty.

He fought and retreated at the same time, consciously retreating to where there were more people.

Although it is difficult to escape when there are so many people, Yan Ruyu must be worried because there are so many people.

But Yan Ruyu had already seen through his intentions, so how could she let him escape?

"Stop him!"

Yinding was already waiting in front, with his sleeves rolled up, waiting for him to come over.

The old man suddenly stopped and gave him a strange smile.

Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling and warned, "Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man spread his arms, and his clothes changed in an instant. The sleeves were connected to the waist, and when spread out, he looked like a big bat.

He was facing Yinding, who was eager to catch him, but he didn't expect it to suddenly become like this and was shocked.

Yinding reacted quickly, took out something from behind him and covered his face with it.

At the same time, the old man rolled out several fist-sized fireballs from his hands or from the connected wings as if by magic and threw them at the silver ingots.

There are many people around the silver ingots. If the fireball hits them, it will cause panic at best, or even injuries, burns, or trampling.

Yinding quickly stretched out his arms to stop him, but suddenly heard Yan Ruyu say, "Go on!"

Then a large cloak was thrown over.

Yinding took it without thinking too much, and swung the cloak in his hands to catch all the fireballs.

In an instant, the cloak caught fire.

Yinding tiptoed the ground, left the crowd and rushed to a place with fewer people.

He secretly felt lucky that he wore the mask that the princess had given him, otherwise, his handsome face would have been injured.

Everything happened in a flash. As soon as the silver ingot was gone, Yan Ruyu's double swords also arrived.

The old man wanted to blend into the crowd, but at that moment the people were just frightened and some had already started shouting and panicking.

They did not think it was some kind of evil spell. Many people did not see the fireball and just thought that the fire inside had spread and burned here.

The old man was blocked, Yan Ruyu chased after him, and Quan Dao followed and directed the people.

Shouting, the sound of fire, and the sound of chaotic footsteps all mixed together.

The old man looked back at Yan Ruyu, who was reluctant to leave.

When he turned back to find a way to escape, he found that someone was already trying to stop him.

When Huo Changhe arrived, he saw Yan Ruyu holding two swords in her hands. He immediately drew his sword and rushed forward.

Being attacked from both sides, the old man's face changed slightly. He spread his arms again and threw out a fireball.

"My lord, be careful!"

Yan Ruyu reminded him from behind, and Huo Changhe turned sideways, swung the sword in his hand, and three fireballs flew out in succession, steadily hovering on the sword.

He aimed at the right spot and threw it. The fireball hit a tree opposite and exploded instantly.

The old man took the opportunity to grab a civilian and leap to the other side.

Yan Ruyu ran to Huo Changhe, looked at the old man with a strange smile, and quickly stepped back, tapping her toes on a stone on the side of the road, and then flew into the air.

The people he caught were also pushed hard and thrown into the crowd.

"Help!" Huo Changhe roared.

Just then the silver ingot returned and he jumped up to catch the person who was thrown down.

However, once the opportunity is missed, it is difficult to catch it again.

The old man spread his arms, reflected in the firelight, like a strange bat, leaping over the treetops, stepping onto the roof, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yan Ruyu frowned, and Huo Changhe immediately said, "Yu'er, I'll take someone to look for her."

Yan Ruyu nodded, and Huo Changhe took his men away, leaving a few behind to help her with the aftermath.

The fire had been extinguished by this time. It wasn't very big in the first place, but the thick smoke was scary. Only the rooms in that yard were burned. It was discovered in time and the surrounding neighbors were not affected.

Yan Ruyu asked Quan Dao to comfort the people and bring people to apply medicine and bandage the injured.

She was in the yard with the silver ingot.

There was still smoke coming out of the wing rooms. Yinding pointed to one of them and said, "The fire started right there."
