"Cough cough cough...Is there anyone...ah!"

Zhu Guoqiang, who covered his mouth and nose with his clothes and was in the sea of ​​fire, shouted loudly, and his hair smelled of burnt fire.

But within a short time, his whole body and face were covered with soot.

"Help..."

While desperately calling for help, he looked around in horror.

fire!

Raging fire!

It's crackling and burning!

The burned-out house was crumbling with only bare shelves left, as if it would fall on him in the next second!

how so?

He was just taking a bath, why did he "wash" into the sea of ​​fire?

"You, who are you..."

Suddenly, a faint voice came into his ears, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a man with disheveled hair and gray face who had been burned by the fire, leaning against a wooden pillar. His clothes were tattered by the fire, and he was breathing heavily from his mouth with his head hanging down. There was also a wine jar on the ground beside him.

Amidst the choking smoke, you can also smell the choking smell of alcohol.

"Hey, hey, how are you... wake up!"

However, this man seemed to have lost consciousness. It was the first time that Zhu Guoqiang encountered such a thing and he didn't know what to do. But the next moment, he looked at this man with dumbfounded eyes.

He, he... is too much like me!

Although this man's face is covered with soot, how could he not recognize his appearance after looking in the mirror for more than 20 years?

The man's eyes were still half-closed, and his lips were slightly opening and closing in a state of confusion.

"...No, I am worthy of being high. Emperor Gao, no, no..."

Then his head dropped and he could no longer make any sound...

Dead!

This is how you die...

Looking at the man dying in front of him, before he could react, he heard a "boom" behind him, and the house that could not hold up in the fire began to collapse!

"What the hell..."

Are you going to die? Are you going to be burned to death?

In the thick smoke, Zhu Guoqiang was choked and about to faint. His breathing became more and more rapid. The fire behind him was getting closer and closer, and he was about to ignite himself.

The house also began to collapse.

what to do!

At this moment, he heard some people crying for help from outside Lieyan.

Over there, there's someone over there!

Although there was a fire burning in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang, driven by the desire to survive and knowing that he would be turned into a suckling pig if he didn't escape, dared to hesitate. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, faced the fire, and moved towards the sound.

He rushed over in the opposite direction. As soon as he left his front foot, a burning beam hit him directly. Even though he blocked it with his hand, it still hit his head.

"ah……"

Zhu Guoqiang, who was so hit that his eyes were filled with stars, still endured the pain and ran out.

But the further he ran outside the house, the bigger the fire became and the hotter he felt, as if his body was about to be dried out. But this was his only hope. Although he tried to rush out of the sea of ​​​​fire, the flames blocking the door in front stopped him.

His way to go.

The tongues of fire licked his hair. Through the fire, he even heard bursts of crying coming from the other side of the fire.

"Have a nice trip, Your Highness..."

Crying?

Are you all crying?

Why don't you come in and save people!

A bunch of idiots, let's go all the way? Why don't you go...

Just then, he heard a noise outside, and then someone shouted again.

"Quickly, remove all the fires..."

Along with a burst of noise, the fire outside the door suddenly weakened. Seeing this, Zhu Guoqiang immediately rushed out desperately...

Everyone in the courtyard was immediately shocked by this sudden scene! People covered their mouths and looked at the people rushing out of the sea of ​​​​fire in disbelief.

Under the light of the fire, I saw that the man was naked, his face was dark, but his eyes were strangely flashing red, like a man-eating beast. Zhu Guoqiang, who rushed out of the fire, felt his whole body burning hot, and saw that he was in the courtyard.

The kneeling man immediately yelled.

"Ah...water, water...but, it's so hot to death..."

This roar shocked everyone back to their senses!

"Yeah, hurry up, hurry up... get water quickly..."

However, before Zhu Guoqiang could calm down, the biting cold wind blew over him. Even though there was a raging fire behind him, he couldn't help but sneeze when the cold wind blew.

As soon as someone sneezed here, someone shouted over there.

"Quickly, get some clothes for His Highness..."

After a while, a thick cotton robe was draped on him. Only then did Zhu Guoqiang come back to his senses. Looking at the people in the yard, he stood there in a daze, not knowing why.

This... what is going on?

There were also a group of women dressed in ancient costumes, as if they had stepped out of a painting of ladies, surrounding him. Their eyes were red and swollen with bloodshot eyes, and there were tears hanging on their faces.

"Your Highness, the general's rescue has been late, please forgive me..."

Before they could figure out the situation, there was another middle-aged man in armor kneeling in front of him, and this, what the hell was going on?

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Who are they calling?

Are you calling me?

…

"Your Highness, drink some water to moisten your throat!"

A girl in royal attire brought a bowl of warm water and helped Zhu Guoqiang drink it. While he was drinking water, he had the opportunity to look at the people around him.

These people are wearing ancient costumes, this is...

Traveled through time?

This thought came to mind subconsciously. He, why do they think I am that prince? I thought of that man who was exactly like me.

He was even more confused in an instant. What was going on? Did they think I was him?

But he is already dead...

Dead!

His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the women in palace attire around him. They were all young girls with delicate looks. Those eyes that looked like autumn water looked at him with concern from the bottom of their hearts.

The feeling of being surrounded by these beautiful and lovely girls is very strange, very refreshing, very... a faint fragrance blows into my nose.

My body no longer hurts!

It’s not hot anymore!

What can we do to prevent this gentle village from sleeping forever?

Admit it, what are you admitting?

What’s wrong with impersonation?

From now on, I will be this His Royal Highness!

But what if it’s exposed?

As if by God's will, at this moment, the house behind him could no longer support it. With a "boom", it collapsed completely! The fire in the collapsed house burned even more intensely...

Looking behind him in astonishment, thinking of the "genuine product" who was buried in the fire, Zhu Guoqiang had an idea in his heart.

This...doesn't it even save the destruction of corpses and traces!

From now on, my brother will start out as a prince, and from then on he will enjoy all the wealth in the world, surrounded by a cloud of darling wives and hordes of beautiful concubines. From time to time, he will carry a bird cage and, under the protection of dozens of bastards, walk around and drink.

Drinking tea and teasing a decent woman...

What kind of teasing? They obviously took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms, right?
To be continued...
