fake prince

Chapter 49
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Zheng Yingci ordered.

Hearing this order, the servants of Zheng's family sank in their hearts. Zheng Yingci has always had a very good reputation. It is normal for him to wait for others to go there to save people, but in the current situation, he can't get close!

"No way, Young Master!" Seeing the eyes turn around, a middle-aged man stood up. Others are ordinary domestic servants and cannot disobey orders, but he has served the Zheng family for 20 years, so he still has some face.

"Tian Bo, why?" Zheng Yingci asked with a gloomy face after hearing this.

"My lord, with the fire and wind like this, once we get past it, not to mention the direct connection between the two ships, even if there is some sparks on our ship, our ship will follow in the footsteps of a boat." The middle-aged man pointed, and everyone looked over, only Seeing the burning of the painting boat, the wind blowing the wreck from time to time, with flames spraying out for more than ten meters, I couldn't help but nod my head again and again.

The middle-aged man saw that Zheng Yingci's expression was not good, and he knew that if he left early, those who were far away would be fine. He had no responsibility, but it happened to be very close here. The young master can't bear the reputation of being helpless. With this reputation, no matter how good the article is Yong, said immediately: "Young master, even if you want to save, you can't save the boat, but you can save the people who jumped into the water. This place is too far from the shore. Let alone people who can't swim, even those who know how to swim, it's hard to guarantee that they can swim. Landed."

These words made sense, Chen Ziyi quickly said: "My dear brother, you have such a loyal servant, these words are indeed golden and jade good words, the fire on the boat is extremely high, if you want to save people, you must save those who jumped into the water."

With these words, Zheng Yingci nodded, and replied: "Brother Chen, you are right, row the boat faster, and go around the boat to save people!"

"Yes!" The servant immediately put his heart into his stomach, rowed the boat around and shouted to save people, and if he encountered someone, he stretched out his penny and pulled them up.

Because of the closeness, I could see more clearly, I saw a person rushing out of the painting boat!

This man was covered in fire, and he was not willing to die. He struggled desperately and climbed onto the deck. He was already dying. However, when he saw the boat, he didn’t know where the strength came from, so he stretched out his hand desperately: "Help me, save me..."

But Huafang couldn't get close at all, and during this hesitation, his body was burned into a ball of fire, and his screams became sharp and lowered. Facing this tragic scene, Zheng Yingci closed his eyes.

Although Zheng Yingci has a good reputation and can be called kind, but calm down, it is absolutely impossible to go close to the burning boat in the heat wave.

Feeling that the heat wave was gradually decreasing and the ship was moving away, Zheng Yingci breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene was really a severe test for his heart.

"Thank you Brother Zheng for your help." At this time, a scholar who fell into the water climbed up, his face was pale, his body was still shaking, and he came up to thank him.

After Zheng Yingci saw it, he still recognized him, who had ridiculed Ye Buhui and one of his children, who was also a chess player.

But such a trivial matter, of course, is nothing, and he hurriedly responded: "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, when encountering such a thing, anyone would..."

"My lord, it's not good!" Shrieked again, Zheng Yingci yelled badly, turned around and looked, everything in front of him made his face pale.

The wind on the lake turned suddenly, and a painting boat that turned into a fire boat broke away from the main body, and quickly slammed into where the boat was.

"Quick! Get out of the way!" Zheng Yingci shouted in shock.

But on water, where is it so easy to turn on land?
What's even more weird is that the boat came by the wind and hit it extremely fast, but the Zheng family's boat, despite the sailors' desperate efforts, seemed to be completely motionless, as if it was nailed to the lake.

Not to mention that in order to save people, the boat was very close, only about ten meters.

"Boom" The fire boat slammed into it heavily, not only that, when it hit, the extremely burning sail wood on the opposite side flew up, and then fell heavily, only a scream was heard, and a servant was crushed by the fireball.

The flames ignited quickly, and almost in the blink of an eye, the place where Zheng Yingci and Chen Ziyi were standing was already engulfed in flames.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Yingci and others ran towards the stern of the boat. They repeatedly ordered the servants to put out the fire, but they didn't stay idle. They scooped up the lake water with a wooden basin and poured it on the fire on the deck.

However, there was no way to stop the spread of the fire.

"My lord, quickly jump down with the barrel in your arms!" The servant who jumped down first shouted, "I'll wait for the water, my lord, jump quickly, I'll keep you safe!"

Zheng Yingci didn't know how to swim, so he felt anxious, but as the heat wave approached, he knew that if he didn't jump, he would die a miserable death, but Chen Ziyi knew how to swim, and without hesitation, he hugged a wooden bucket and jumped off.

"My dear brother, jump!"

Hearing the shout, Zheng Yingci gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, hugged a wooden barrel, and jumped into the water with a plop.

I thought that someone in my house would know how to swim, so I would be taken care of when I jumped down, but when I jumped into the water, I suddenly felt my body was cold, and then I felt a cold air penetrated through the cracks in the bones.

"Oops!" There was a bad sound in his heart, before Zheng Yingci could yell out, he felt like he was turned into a stone, unable to grasp it with his hands, and sank straight down.

Not to mention waiting for others to rescue him, in this case, it is obviously impossible to even float a little bit.

How cold is the water in April?

With this thought in his mind, Zheng Yingci struggled desperately, but his leg hurt and he got a cramp. He felt a chill in his heart, full of grief and indignation. Could it be that he was going to die in Panlong Lake?Just because of a sudden fire?What absurdity!

I am a carefully cultivated son of the Zheng family. I have never been admitted to the Juren, I have never been admitted to Jinshi, I have never been an official in the court, I have never made profits for the family, and I have never left a name in history. I am going to die here, a handful of bones at the bottom of the lake?
The unwillingness in my heart could not stop my body from sinking.

Through the blurred light of the water, Zheng Yingci saw someone falling into the water, who seemed to be swimming towards him, and then he had some hope, and saw that this person grabbed the wooden bucket he was holding, and swam desperately to other places, without reaching out at all. .

It's the Tongsheng chess player I rescued just now.

Before there was time for grief and anger, a burning wooden beam fell and hit the man's head hard, half of his head was sunken, sinking faster than himself, and Yan Hong scattered away. "

"Could it be caused by this chess player?" Zheng Yingci suddenly had this feeling at the critical moment of life and death, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The pain and suffocation made him almost want to lose consciousness immediately.But it seemed that the faces that his parents were looking forward to, Su Ziji, and the appearances of many people he had known in the past appeared again.

"No! I can't die here, I want to live!" Zheng Yingci, who had given up struggling at first, aroused a strong desire to survive, and struggled again. At this moment, he felt his cramps relieved, and he desperately wanted to Floating out of the water, he grabbed the half-burned wooden beam that had been extinguished by the water, and held on tightly.

Then, Zheng Yingci, who was choking on a few saliva, went dark and didn't know anything.

And almost at the same time, a small boat far away was slowly moving, the dark green lake was rippling, and a little farther away there was a painting boat slowly cruising on the lake with joyous songs and laughter, and the beautiful and melodious singing could be heard. look.

Su Ziji couldn't help feeling refreshed, and felt tired again, turned around and saw that Ye Buhui was also yawning, and said: "I didn't sleep well last night, no, I didn't fall asleep, we will make up for it."

He said loudly: "The boss of the boat, get a fish and call us up at noon."

"Yes, son." The boss of the boat saw the smoke from a distance, but it seemed faint from this distance, so he was not even surprised, but just responded.
