Even Han Han was shocked and stared at the sky with wide eyes.
The prince handed the little guy to Ye Qi aside, walked to Zhan Beihan, raised his head and took a closer look, frowning: "This direction... is Hulang Mountain! What's going on, it's so big?
Thick smoke?”
Hulang Mountain is thirty miles away from the capital.
From such a distance, you can clearly see the thick smoke rising into the sky, and you can imagine how powerful the fire is.
Now, General Yang Huai is leading the army from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to exterminate the bandits in Hulang Mountain. Under normal circumstances, there will be no fire.
The smoke came quite strangely.
Zhan Beihan's narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "Either something went wrong with Yang Huai, or the bandits were desperate and set the mountain on fire!"
The prince asked: "Which one is more likely?"
Zhan Beihan's tone was cold: "Yang Huai's ability to lead troops is pretty good, so he won't make mistakes like this. Eighty-nine times out of ten, it's the bastards in the bandit village who set the mountain on fire!"
The prince took a breath of air and said solemnly: "The weather has been dry recently and there has been little rain. If such a large fire spreads, it will probably affect the people in the surrounding towns and villages."
"I know!"
Zhan Beihan knew the terrain near Hulang Mountain better than the prince, and a mountain distribution map flashed in his mind.
He decisively said to the prince: "Brother, you stay in the palace, I will go back to the palace first."
The prince nodded and warned again: "You are still injured. If you have anything to do, let the people below do it. Pay attention to rest."
"Um."
Zhan Beihan responded briefly, glanced at Ye Qi, and strode down the steps.
Ye Qi understood and hurriedly followed Hanhan with her arms in her arms.
Only then did Han Han react and instinctively struggled.
Ye Qi immediately coaxed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we are leaving the palace with the prince now. Don't you want to see Miss Shen?"
When Zhan Beihan got on the carriage and left the palace, the people sent to investigate had already left the capital.
In the huge capital city, the streets and alleys are crowded with people. Pedestrians passing by, people at home, vendors doing business, and even shopkeepers all ran out and crowded on the streets, looking at the thick smoke rising in the distance.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"What's wrong with this, such a big smoke?"
"It looks like it's very close to the capital..."
"Last night there was an earth dragon turning over, and today there is smoke again. Could something have happened?"
Many people are worried.
Some naughty children who did not know the world innocently pointed at the thick smoke in the sky: "Dad, Mom, look, there is such a big dark cloud in the sky!"
The parents next to them quickly picked up their children and looked at the sky, their expressions full of worry.
Meng Wenhao was also standing in the crowd, holding the little boy by his hand. He looked up at the direction of the rising smoke, frowned and murmured: "It seems to be the smoke rising from Hulang Mountain..."
Didn’t Miss Shen say that the Northern Qin court had sent troops to suppress the bandits?
How could there be such a big fire?
Did something really happen?
At this time, a loud sound of gongs came: "Kang! Bang!"
Someone shouted: "Come and see, the government has issued a notice!"
People on the street swarmed over, and Meng Wenhao was also pushed by the crowd. He led the little boy and struggled to get to the sign.
More than a dozen government officials worked together to block the crowd, while another government official was holding a notice and pasting it on the notice board.
"Brother, help me, what's written on it?" Meng Wenhao stood in the middle of the crowd. He stood on tiptoe and couldn't see the words on the notice clearly, so he had to ask the person next to him.
The people nearby said enthusiastically: "The notice said that the place where the smoke was coming from was Hulang Mountain. The imperial army was exterminating the bandits in the mountain, so that the people should not panic. After the bandit suppression, the army would escort the prisoners back to Beijing in triumph."
