Chapter seventy-four, three beasts
The fire spread quickly, and several clusters of flames penetrated into the house and immediately ignited the nearby account book. The scorching flames and black smoke attacked Su Chen.
Su Chen immediately retreated and stood in a relatively empty place. However, the house was very small. After the fire entered the house, it encountered a paper account book, like a fire encountered dry firewood, burning even more crazy. Su Chen was almost at a loss.
At this time, a ball of flame seemed to be alive, turning into a fire snake, bowing and staring at Su Chen. Su Chen was shocked. He clearly saw that the fire snake had tentacles on its head, which turned out to be a fire dragon!
The body of the fire dragon is not huge. The raised head is only as high as Su Chen. The snake Xinzi, which is also shining with fire, is spit out from time to time, as if she treats Su Chen as her prey.
Before Su Chen could figure out what was going on, a lion condensed next to the fire dragon, and the flames were also surrounded by fire. He took a step towards Su Chen and emitted a shocking lion roar.
Then, an eagle shook its wings from the fire and flapped its wings stained with flames. The storm produced not only did not blow away the flames, but instead caused the flames from the whole house to gather towards it.
"What's going on inside?"
The fat manager was also shocked when he heard these incredible sounds. How could lions and eagles appear in this room?
At this moment, three ferocious beasts in the house surrounded Su Chen, all of them ready to go.
Su Chen felt a heat all over his body, not from the outside to the inside, but from the inside to the outside to the outside. Then he felt that he was not breathing smoothly and was thirsty. At this time, a fiery red bead condensed in his chest.
Su Chen is not unfamiliar with this bead. It is the strange bead that was forcibly ingested in the body in Mingshan.
The three ferocious beasts became more and more crazy when they saw the beads, as if they saw an enemy, and rushed over fiercely.
Su Chen subconsciously raised his left hand to protect his face. At this time, the jade pendant responded, and a surging cold air surged out, instantly blocking the attack of the three ferocious beasts.
"Brother! I'm here to save you!"
At this moment, two huge banana leaves rushed in through the burnt window. After entering the room, the banana leaves opened, and Xuan Qi in soft armor stood inside. However, he was stunned as soon as he saw the scene in front of him.
Su Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that Xuan Qi would turn back to save him this time. He saw Xuan Qi's upright figure at this moment through the cold air shield and the beating flames. Unfortunately, Xuan Qi's face was blurred.
If there was no barrier between them at this time, Su Chen could clearly see Xuan Qi's expression, he would be even more surprised, because at this moment, Xuan Qi was crying silently, and the fiery red bead was reflected in his pupils.
The confrontation between the cold air and the three ferocious beasts was very anxious, and neither side could make any progress. Su Chen was worried that there would be an accident if the stalemate continued, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xuanqi, think of a solution!"
Xuan Qi woke up at this moment, wiped away tears silently, brewed his emotions, and responded: "Catch my vines and I'll pull you out!"
He stretched out his hands, turned into two extendable vines, and drilled into the raging fire. As the vines progressed, the scorching flames left burning marks on his arms, but Xuan Qi gritted his teeth and endured it and continued to apply spiritual power. Finally, the vine's incomplete head touched Su Chen, and the cold air chose to protect the vines as if they had wisdom.
Su Chen stretched out his left hand to grab the vine, then he was pulled out with force on the other end, not only leaving the encirclement of the three ferocious beasts, but was directly thrown out and landed outside the house.
After leaving the flames, the strange bead penetrated into his body and disappeared.
Xuan Qi followed closely behind and rushed out, but shortly after they came out, the house collapsed and was submerged in the fire, and the three ferocious beasts disappeared.
"Come on! Catch them for me!"
The fat manager ordered in panic, and suddenly several servants surrounded him.
Su Chen wanted to deal with the fat man, but suddenly Xuan Qi grabbed his shoulder and ran away without saying a word.
After leaving the Ministry of Revenue Mansion, Xuan Qi took him all the way home.
After entering the courtyard of Su Chen's mansion, Xuan Qi put Su Chen down, but he fainted.
Su Chen hurriedly checked Xuan Qi's situation, and then he found that Xuan Qi's arms were covered with scalds.
"This guy..."
Su Chen had never trusted Xuan Qi so much before, but just treated him as a jar for storing spiritual power or a pistachio, and had no feelings for Xiaoqi at all. But at this moment, he confirmed Xuan Qi's position in his heart. No matter what his purpose was, he would be his brother in the future.
,,
It was already evening when Xuan Qi woke up. He found himself sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, with a chilling spiritual power lingering on his arm, relieving a lot of pain for him. When he raised his eyes to look at the owner of this spiritual power, he felt a little scared. Because what he saw was a face that was even colder than Han Bing, and it was so cold that it was very bright.
"How do you feel when you finally wake up?"
Of course, Xinyun was not the one who spoke, but Su Chen who was waiting aside.
Xuan Qi's expression was slightly stunned at first, then sighed and said, "It hurts so much, I can't stand it."
Suddenly, the spiritual power that relieves him disappeared, Xinyun snorted and sat aside.
Su Chen also knew that Xuan Qi's old habit had been dealt with again, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, you have made great contributions this time, I will not treat you badly, look."
Su Chen signaled to him the roast chicken on the stone table. Then he added: "The wine of a daughter is not yet available yet. When the case is completed, I will definitely buy it for you."
Xuan Qi immediately grabbed the roast chicken and started to chew on it, completely forgot about the scalding on his arm.
Su Chen could only shake his head and smile when he saw it, as long as he was fine.
"Let's talk about the results of today."
Su Chen also sat down and looked at Xinyun.
"The Hailong Gang is indeed suspicious. I found out that they will meet with the Lingguo people outside the city tonight."
Su Chen was shocked that such progress was made. The strength of the great priest was indeed extraordinary, so he also reported his own progress.
"I have brought all the files from the Ministry of Revenue in half a year. Ye Sheng is reviewing it. I believe that there will be clues in no time. At the same time, I went to visit the Ministry of Revenue today and had unexpected gains."
Su Chen opened a letter and handed it to Xinyun, and then said, "This is a physical evidence of an affair between the General of the Ministry of Revenue and the General. I have also reviewed the evidence. The General actually accepted bribes to protect the merchants from Lingguo and go to the city to do business. He also colluded with the General of the Ministry of Revenue to tamper with their household registration information and packaged them into Frost."
Su Chen remembered the house that was burned out by the fire and sighed: "It's a pity that all the accounts have been burned down. I don't know which merchants in Lincheng are from Lingguo."
At this time, Xinyun sneered and said, "I've been working hard for this and almost lost my life? I'll walk around the city today and know who are Lingguo people."
Su Chen was shocked again. As a great priest, Xinyun specializes in supervising Lingguo spies cases, she must have a very good understanding of the living habits of Lingguo people. After listening for a while in various teahouses and inns, she can tell who is Lingguo people from the accent. Even if they change their accent, some living habits cannot be changed, and they cannot escape Xinyun's eyes at all.
"Is there anything suspicious of these people?"
Xinyun shook her head and said, "They are all ordinary businessmen, and they don't seem to have any contact with that person."
"Where is the Hailong Gang?"
"It depends on who they meet tonight?"
Xinyun replied coldly.
"Then let's go over and take a look tonight."
Xinyun nodded.
At night, the streets of Lincheng are much more gloomy than other cities. First, because there are too many ancient trees on both sides of the street, which are black. The sound of rubbing the leaves is extremely creepy. Second, there is always a cold air on the surface of Lincheng, especially at night, the cold air around the ancient trees becomes more and more intense. Therefore, whenever it is dark, there are few people walking around the streets of Lincheng, which is very different from the wine city, which is known as the city of never sleeping.
Su Chen, Xinyun and Xuanqi were walking in the middle of the street at this moment, and the cold air came from all directions, and the rustling sound of leaves rubbing was creepy.
"You are sure that someone will come out so late?"
Xuan Qi looked around nervously, and kept saying words to comfort him.
"Stop talking nonsense, someone is here!"
Xinyun issued a warning, and the three of them immediately hid behind an ancient tree and stared at the direction of the city gate.
