Chapter 230 The two meet again

At this time, the shouts and screams on Mu Qingran's ship were deafening, and flames were rising to the sky. After all, the high priests and elders of the Mu family had no martial arts, and even with their poisonous methods, they could not withstand the repeated attacks of the secret guards. Knowing that they had no hope of survival, they let the injured Mu Qingran and Mu Hongying escape.

"Ah Ran, you and Hong Ying are the only hope for our Mu family, you should leave now!"

Mu Qingran was also seriously injured when facing the siege of highly skilled secret guards. Mu Hongying relied on her clansmen to resist, and she placed spiders behind her to interfere, and she was in a very miserable state.

After Mu Qingran saw that his clansmen had blocked the assassin for him, he immediately took Mu Hongying's hand and prepared to jump into the lake.

Suddenly I remembered that there was a little girl in the room. If she died, wouldn’t my Tongsheng Gu be wasted?

Thinking of the speechlessness of being dominated by the little girl, Mu Qingran wished she was dead, but in order not to waste his Tongsheng Gu, he decided to take her away!

He would never admit that he was reluctant to see the little girl die in the fire.

"Husband, where are you going?"

"Hongying, go into the water and wait for me first, I'll be there soon." After saying that, he rushed into the sea of ​​fire. The biggest fire was in Ling'er's room, and he rushed forward regardless of everything.

Mu Hongying's face froze, and she angrily said, "Mu Qingran, come back here!!"

Even when the time comes, she is still thinking about that little girl. Could she really be the mistress of her husband?

Hatred instantly ignited in her eyes. Mu Qingli betrayed her!

Then what right does he have to live?

Mu Qingran kicked open the door that was blazing with flames. The fire inside was so big and the smoke was so thick that he was not sure if the little girl was alive or not. "Hey, little stinky girl, cough cough cough, are you dead?"

The smoke was too thick and the fire was raging, so he couldn't get in. The hem of his red dress caught fire. He was about to leave the room helplessly when a railing flew towards him and he raised his hand to block it.

Mu Hongying looked at him coldly: "Mu Qingli, you betrayed me, you failed my grandfather's last wish, then you deserve to die."

As she spoke, she pushed the half-burned door inwards fiercely, just to make the fire bigger.

"You're crazy!!"

Now there are only two of them in the whole world. If she were gone, how would she give birth to offspring?

Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, Mu Hongying jumped into the water to escape, while Mu Qingran was submerged in the sea of ​​fire...

At this time, Lu Zhanxing in the water just wanted to ask for help, but suddenly found Ling'er coming out, and hurriedly hugged her. Ling'er shivered in the water: "Father..."

"Ling'er, why did you come out?"

"Ling'er doesn't know. Ling'er was having a good time and then she came out."

Father really has so many treasures!

Lu Zhanxing was stunned. Is there a time limit for living things to enter this space?

I didn't realize there was a time limit?

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Lu Zhanxing said, "We're going to get on the boat soon, Ling'er should call me daddy."

"Okay, Daddy."

Lu Zhanxing and others were rescued by the merchant ship's crew and brought on board. Lu Zhanxing first expressed his gratitude.

"Did you escape from that fire ship?" The servants of the merchant ship surrounded the father and daughter and asked about the situation.

"Yes, we escaped from there." Lu Zhanxing responded immediately.

Soon, the leader of the merchant ship came over. He was a middle-aged man who looked very friendly. He first asked someone to bring clean clothes, and then introduced himself: "My surname is Hu, and I am the owner of the Hu's Trading Company in Yangzhou. This time I am carrying goods to the capital. I wonder where you are going? If you are going somewhere else, I will have someone drive a small boat to take you ashore, or you can go to the dock to wait for other merchant ships."

Lu Zhanxing was very surprised, but said helplessly: "My surname is Lu. My father and I were going to Beijing to seek refuge with our relatives. Unexpectedly, someone took a fancy to our family wealth. We were protected by our men and jumped into the water to escape. However, the others..."

"Well, no matter what, young master is lucky and fortunate. Since you are going to the capital, just come with our merchant ship." Mr. Hu was very enthusiastic and even wanted to waive all expenses for them, the father and daughter.

Lu Zhanxing was extremely grateful. He quickly pulled out the soaked purse from his waist and poured out ten taels of silver from it: "How can we eat and live for free? I still have some silver on me. I wonder if it's enough?"

"No, no, you need money to go to the capital to seek help from relatives and find people to investigate. It will be troublesome if you don't have money. Just think of it as a good relationship for me. Anyway, it won't be a problem if you two have more. There is a vacant room on the second floor. I will ask someone to take you there. If you have money in the future, you can come to the Hu family residence in the western district of the capital to find me."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Hu." Lu Zhanxing was not surprised. There was a reason why Mr. Hu was willing to give them and their daughter this convenience.

After all, the clothes he wore were made of expensive fabrics, and although his daughter wore ordinary clothes, the jewelry on her head was quite expensive, and it was obvious that they were not short of money. When Mr. Hu heard that he was going to the capital, he guessed that they were of extraordinary status, so he wanted to do them a favor and establish a good relationship with them, perhaps he could use his connections.

Didn’t you see that they even reported their home address in Beijing?

As expected of a businessman, he has a good eye!

Lu Zhanxing didn't hesitate any more. He went to the capital and asked Lin Yun, who was in charge of his business, to contact Mr. Hu and buy his things at a high price. That would make the matter even.

The father and daughter were taken to the second floor. There were many guests admiring the night view at the railing upstairs, but most of them were discussing the fire that was blazing into the sky. They were just guests and were some distance away. They had no idea what was going on over there and were helpless even if they wanted to save people.

The servant of Mr. Hu opened the door and said, "Young Master, you can rest in this room. I will ask someone to prepare hot water for you to wash. Clean clothes and food will also be brought up. Please wait."

"Thank you very much." Lu Zhanxing thanked him.

As soon as the servant left, Lu Zhanxing was about to take his daughter into the house, when suddenly a handsome man in blue clothes came out from next door. He was full of bookish air. He had a handsome and elegant appearance, fair skin, and the mole on the lower right corner of his mouth made his appearance even more charming.

The two sides looked at each other!

They were all stunned. They didn’t expect to see each other here?

Mu Qingli saw Lu Zhanxing wearing a cloak, but the clothes inside were still dripping with water. There was also a delicate and cute little girl who looked very similar to Lu Zhanxing. How could they be here?

"you……"

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhanxing snorted coldly. Thinking that she was working hard to give birth to a baby in the yard, but he was nowhere to be seen, she didn't want to pay attention to him. Lu Zhanxing also knew that his behavior was inappropriate. After all, Mu Qingli also helped them clean up the poisonous insects.

Doesn’t Mu Qingli know that she is pregnant with his child?

But she just couldn't help sulking.

"Ah Qi!"

Ling'er suddenly sneezed. Lu Zhanxing was startled and quickly pulled his daughter into the house, then slammed the door.

Anyway, we still have to stay on the boat for a few days, so there will always be a chance to talk. Let's leave him alone for a while.

Mu Qingli: "..."

Is he... angry with himself?

Mu Qingli recalled the times she spent with him. Except for the day when she rejected him, she didn't provoke him, right?

Then why was he glaring at me with such a fierce look?
