Chapter 593: A Fire Consumes All
that was supposed to be handed over also vanished overnight. Li Bufan, the Salt Commissioner, was furious and believed that Deng Jiu had colluded with outsiders and stolen the salt. He therefore orde..."I think I finally know why the whole city of Ruoshui obeys Wen Jia's words." The question that had puzzled her before, Xiao Yuge finally understood at this moment.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle, controlling an entire city with this thing is terrifying!
“This thing appeared a long time ago, causing countless families to be destroyed. The Wen family actually secretly planted so many of them and even gave them to the people as divine tea. It’s truly unforgivable!” As a doctor, He Ming was naturally angry when he thought about how many people had been poisoned by this thing.
"Brother, at their current rate, they'll be able to harvest this entire field tonight. Once it's processed tomorrow, it will end up in the hands of the common people. At that time, who knows how many innocent lives will be affected Since we've stumbled upon this, we can't just stand by and watch."
"Little junior sister, what do you say we should do This time, senior brother will listen to you!" He cried out, no longer insisting on his principle of "less is more."
A gust of wind blew by, and Xiao Yu Ge gazed at the vast expanse of alluringly dancing flowers before him. Suddenly, he thought of something and pulled out a firestarter from his person: "Senior brother, destroy them, and it will be done once and for all!"
When Hé Míng saw her take out the firestarter, she immediately understood what she meant, but still hesitated: "But, those innocent laborers are still down below..."
"It's fine, Senior Brother, did you hear that There's the sound of water below, and today's wind is blowing upwards from that direction. As long as we start a fire, they will instinctively run downwards, so they won't be harmed." Xiao Yuge tested the wind direction again, confirming it was correct.
"Okay, we'll split up. I'll go over there, and you stay here. Even if they manage to save this side, they won't be able to reach the other." He-Ming also pulled out a fire starter from his person.
"Brother, wait a moment." Xiao Yuge pulled out another thing from her body: "Just taken from that person, I smelled it, should be phosphorus powder. You go past here, sprinkle it all the way, with this thing and the wind direction, our plan will be foolproof!"
"Okay." Hehe took it, nodded, and glanced around. He narrowed his eyes and pointed towards a certain direction: "I'll take care of those servants first!" Seeing the long whips in their hands lashing out at the innocent workers, his fists had already clenched tight. Those who bully others with power have nothing good about them!
"Big brother, just give it to me!"
"Who's there! Come out!"
Just as Xiao Yuge was about to go up and deal with those servants, unexpectedly, those servants seemed to have noticed something amiss on their side.
Xiao Yu, the singer, had a dagger hidden under her collarbone. She planned to wait until those few people got closer and then kill them with one strike!
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a figure suddenly flashed, followed closely by a cold light. Several screams rang out, and when they looked again, the several servants were already lying dead on the ground. At the same time, a black-clad man quickly leaped towards somewhere and disappeared into the night.
"Who is this person" Xiao Yuge felt that the figure was a bit familiar. Thinking about it, wasn't this the person who saved her at Zhao Jiazhuang that day Who was he Why was he here too
"Ah! He killed someone!" The hired laborers cried out in fright when they saw the housekeepers fall.
"Little sister, we don't have time, let's split up!" Hé Rmíng was afraid that the long workers' screams would attract people from the mansion, so he quickly instructed Xiao Yǔgē: "Be careful, we'll meet up downstairs later!"
"Good!" Xiao Yuge also came to her senses. Regardless of who that person was, she would deal with the matter at hand first.
That's it, the two of them immediately split up.
"Stop, please don't kill us!" Those long-term workers saw Xiao Yuge suddenly appear and mistook her for the one who had just killed those servants. They all retreated in fear, looking at Xiao Yuge who was walking towards them step by step with a terrified expression. They clutched their sickles tightly in their hands, also thinking she was here to kill them.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuge ignored them completely. He took a firebrand from his body and sprinkled some phosphorus on it, then lit the flowerbed... Suddenly, the wind blew, fanning the flames. The fire spread rapidly, fueled by the wind, soon becoming a raging inferno!
And over there, the cranes' calls began. With the help of phosphorus powder, the fire quickly spread from both sides towards the middle!
"You're still standing there Don't you want to be burned alive!" Seeing those laborers standing there like fools, Xiao Yuge shouted at them, "Run! Run down the mountain!"
The startled workers, all dropped their tools and scrambled down the hill!
"Fire! Fire! Come on, someone help put out the fire!" At this moment, someone shouted, and it startled everyone in Wengjiazhuang. Suddenly, the whole place was in chaos!
When people from Zhuangzi rushed to put out the fire, it was already out of control. They could only watch helplessly as those flowers turned into ashes.
Looking at Afu Rong who was buried in the sea of fire, Wen Shiyun was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood!
He Ming and Xiao Yu wanted to take advantage of the chaos to return to the back mountain, but then they thought that all the finished divine teas in the inner courtyard were still there. They didn't want those things to continue poisoning the people, so they decided to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the inner courtyard and burn everything there as well.
"Who are you What happened outside" However, as soon as they ran into the courtyard, they were stopped.
"The mountain is on fire, the city lord told everyone to rush up the mountain to put out the fire!" Xiao Yuge was quick-witted in the face of danger and shouted at him.
“You’re flooded You all go with me to the mountains!” Upon hearing this, that person hurriedly called out to those around him, intending to run out. But after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back, staring at Xiao Yuge and the others with a puzzled expression: “The two of you look so unfamiliar. What are your names Which team are you from Who is your leader”
It seems he's starting to get suspicious.
Xiao Yu's song didn't expect that the servants in the front yard and the back yard were so orderly, and knowing that this person couldn't stay, he secretly exchanged glances with He Ming, and came to a preemptive strike!
That person immediately realized something was wrong and shouted, "Guards! An outsider has..." Before he could finish the word "entered," Xiao Yu Ge's silver needle sealed his throat with a single strike.
In the blink of an eye, all the servants in the inner courtyard were taken down by them.
They rushed in, and the hired laborers were still there working hard. Upon seeing them suddenly burst in, they were all startled.
"There's a fire outside, you guys get out of here quickly!"
As Xiao Yuge roared, those laborers snapped out of their daze and dropped their tools, rushing out in a frenzy!
At that time, Wen Shiyin was at the back mountain. Naturally, he wouldn't have thought anyone would target his backyard. Most of the household staff had been dispatched to the back mountain to fight the fire, so the few guards outside couldn't stop the returning laborers at all. Soon, the laborers all rushed out, along with those who were seeking tea for divine intervention and didn't understand what was happening.inking about it, it chilled her to the bone."My dear, do you know The other day, I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I took your eyes out with my own hands... I was truly terrified. How could I ever...
