The crowds were surging on the streets, and there were screams and wailings everywhere. This was the first time Wan'er encountered such a thing. Her little face was so scared that she was pale and her hands were hugging Zhang Zong tightly.

Although Zhang Zong really wanted to calm the crowd down, he was alone and had no way to turn the tide. At this time, Zhang Zong also felt very powerless. In the face of the power of the group, his personal power was too small.

"Mom~, Mom~" At this moment, a little girl was crying at the top of her lungs not far from Zhang Zong. It seemed that she was being squeezed away from her mother, and the crowd around her were all rushing forward like crazy, watching the little girl being about to be stepped under her feet.

When Zhang Zong saw this, he didn't care about the danger and immediately asked Wan'er to let go of himself. Then he squeezed over the crowd and pulled the little girl over, then retreated and stretched out his hands to protect Wan'er and the little girl. Behind them was the wall. As long as Zhang Zong was not squeezed out, there was no need to worry about danger.

As time went by, the crowded crowd finally escaped, and Zhang Zong felt half loose, so he turned his head and saw that the street, which was already extremely prosperous just now, was now in a mess, with injured people moaning in pain everywhere, and people who were separated from relatives and friends were also shouting the names of relatives and friends everywhere.

"Young Master! So... So terrible!" Wan'er still grabbed Zhang Zong's clothes on her chest tightly and said with a pale face.

Zhang Zong also reached out and stroked Wan'er's little head, then looked at the frightened little girl next to Wan'er. She looked at at most five or six years old, and her big eyes were full of fear. She obviously hadn't woken up from the shock she had just now.

"Ming Niang! Ming Niang!" At this moment, a woman with disheveled hair ran from a distance, shouting while running, and even lost her shoes on her feet. However, she suddenly realized that she was full of despair on her face.

"Mom~" When the woman shouted, the little girl in front of Zhang Zong immediately responded happily.

The woman also saw the little girl at first sight, which immediately made her run forward with an ecstasy look, hugged the little girl and cried bitterly. After all, the mother and daughter were squeezed apart in the crowd just now, and Ming Niang was only six years old, so her mother thought that her daughter might have encountered an unexpected accident, especially as she came to see many people who were injured or even trampled to death, which made her feel even more desperate.

After finally waiting for the woman to stop the sound of the instrument, she realized that she immediately stood up and bowed to Zhang Zong and said, "Thank you, my kindness, saved your daughter's life!"

"Madam, you are polite. This is what I should do. The situation is not stable now. You and your daughter should go home soon!" Zhang Zong also politely said.

Of course, the woman knew that the streets were very dangerous now, so she immediately agreed when she heard Zhang Zong's words, then thanked him again, and then left the place with her daughter.

"Young Master, let's go home too!" Wan'er also said in a trembling voice at this time. She has not recovered from the fright.

Zhang Zong really wanted to go home, but he turned his head and looked around, then smiled bitterly: "This is the northern section of Zhuque Street, which is a bit far from our residence. In this case, I'm afraid we can't hire a carriage. If we walk back, we may have to walk until dawn to get home."

"What should I do?" Wan'er was so scared that she had no idea. After all, she was still young and could not be as calm as Zhang Zong when encountering problems.

Zhang Zong did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the location of the fire. He saw that the sky over there had been burning red light, and even black and gray floated down in the sky. When he listened carefully, he could still hear the shouts and noise coming from the fire. It seemed that many people were putting out the fire.

"Wan'er, let's go and see how the fire is. If you need it, you can also help a little!" Zhang Zong thought for a moment and finally made a decision. Although the fire in the distance had not yet burned, it looked huge. If it really spread out in Chang'an City, looking at the wooden houses in Chang'an City, several yards might be burned, which he would not want to see anyway.

"But the fire is so big, and the court must have sent someone to put out the fire. You, young master, may not be able to help you if you go alone, but there may be danger." Wan'er advised very rationally. She didn't want Zhang Zong to take risks.

"With such a big fire, the court may not be able to mobilize many people for a while. To stop the fire, the most effective way is to mobilize the people to participate in the firefighting. If everyone thinks like us and avoids the fire when they see it, then the entire Chang'an City will probably be burned!" Zhang Zong said to Wan'er with a serious expression at this time.

"I...I was wrong!" Wan'er saw that she couldn't persuade Zhang Zong, and immediately admitted her mistake, but Zhang Zong did not blame her, because he knew that Wan'er was actually just worried about herself, so she patted her little head and said nothing.

At that moment, Zhang Zong pulled Wan'er to the fire. Along the way, you can often see people who escaped from the fire. Some of them had their hair and clothes burned, and their faces were covered with black and gray, so they couldn't even see their appearance clearly.

However, although there are many people who escaped, many people took tools to put out the fire, especially those people whose homes are nearby. They want to protect their homes from being burned, so they are very active in putting out the fire. The administrative agencies at all levels of the Tang Dynasty have also begun to play a role, and some famous gentry or officials in the workshop also organized their families to rush to the fire.

Looking at the more and more crowds around him, Zhang Zong also felt confident, and even Wan'er was no longer as scared as before.

Of course, when the fire broke out, some illegal people took advantage of the chaos to rob, but when the people around them organized, these rioters were quickly suppressed, especially when the Jinwu Guard, who maintained public order, arrived, no one dared to make trouble again.

When Zhang Zong and others arrived at the fire, they saw that the fire in front soared into the sky, partitioning the entire street, and there were people everywhere in the firefighting. However, with such a large fire, ordinary firefighting methods had no effect at all. The only way was to demolish the houses around the firefly so that the fire could be stopped from spreading. When all the fuel in the firefly burned out, the fire would naturally be extinguished.
