It was strange.

The fire on the soldier who was on fire was extinguished not long later.

Gu Nuo’er didn’t really want his life.

However, the burns he suffered weren’t light.

The surrounding people were dumbfounded.

It was no wonder everyone said that there were gods everywhere.

Apart from having the help of a god, they couldn’t find any other reason for what they had witnessed just now!

Gu Nuo’er crossed her arms and pouted, ordering the remaining soldiers, “What are you guys waiting for? Carry him to another room. Treat him if you’re free. If you’re not, just leave him there.”

This bad person had called her a little girlO so many times just now.

The child had already shown mercy by not taking his life!

The soldiers didn’t dare to act rashly anymore.

they were afraid that bad luck would turn to them in the next second.

They had forgotten Cabinet Elder Liu’s instructions and were now completely listening to Gu Nuo’er’s instructions.

They carried the leader of the soldiers who were covered in wounds into a room at the side.

Gu Nuo’er and Kongjue then untied the villagers one by one.

One of them was the villager who had previously slandered Gu Nuo’er, saying that she was going to help the imperial court to burn them to death.

At this moment, after he was untied, he looked at the child apologetically.

“Your Highness, when they first came, I thought that we had been deceived by you. Now, I understand that I’ve misunderstood you.”

Gu Nuo’er snorted in a childish voice.

“Now do you know that this princess specially came to save people? I’m really speechless at you guys. There are so many men here, but there are only a dozen of them. Why aren’t you fighting back?! Are you just going to be tied up by them?”

If she wasn’t around, were they really going to sit and wait to be burned to death?

At the mention of soldiers, the villagers were all afraid.

At this moment, he replied embarrassedly, “Those are all officials. We’re commoners and we’re afraid just by seeing them. How would we dare to resist?”

Gu Nuo’er could understand their words.

Her father had said that not everyone had an emperor as their father!

Gu Nuo’er sighed like an adult.

“Forget it, I’ll protect you guys well

It was a princess’s duty to protect her people!

At this moment, someone pointed at the sky and suddenly shouted in horror, “There’s a fire! There’s a fire!”

Gu Nuo’er turned around.

There had originally been a gorgeous sunset.

However, there was thick smoke rising from afar at this moment.

“Judging from the direction, it seems to be Hedong Village below us!”

“What a sin! A group of soldiers must have gone there too and burned the place!”

“It’s too tragic. There are many old people in Hedong Village who have difficulty moving. What should we do? They’d be just waiting for death!”

When Gu Nuo’er heard this, wanted to quickly run to Hedong Village without a second word.

However, her small hand was held tightly by someone.

Gu Nuo’er turned around and saw Kongjue’s worried eyes.

“Don’t go.” He shook his head. “It’s too late.”

Hedong Village was far away. Even if one were to ride a horse there, it would take five minutes.

Gu Nuo’er could only rely on her legs to walk. By the time she got there, the entire village would probably have been burned down.

However, the child was very determined. “I have to go! Monk older brother, I have a way. If I can save one, I’ll save them!”

As she spoke, she wanted to shake off his hand.

“I don’t want you to go!” Kongjue blurted out.

His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

“Sister, I’ve never told you that I’m actually your seventh brother. I’ve already become a monk before you were born. My real name is Gu Zixuan.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes.

However, very quickly, the child turned her back to the setting sun and smiled brightly at him.

“Seventh Brother, then I have to go even more!”
