Chapter 11: What do you think you can do in the middle of the night?
The wind made my mouth slightly dry, and since I didn't eat much after the morning incident, my stomach growled unceremoniously. I casually took a cloak from the bedside and put it on my body, then went downstairs to the kitchen to look for food.
Helplessly, there was not even any cooked food in the huge kitchen, and I only found a dry and cold steamed bun. I choked and rolled my eyes, and hurriedly ran to the lobby to find water.
"Do you know which room the Dog Emperor lives in?"
"It's on the second floor, but the specific location hasn't been investigated yet."
The harmless voice coming from the lobby stopped me, and I quickly hid behind the door.
In the dark night, the speaker's face could not be seen clearly, only the burly figure was in a trance under the light of the sword.
"Now what?"
"I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Go get the kerosene and burn this inn."
"good."
The two black figures left quickly. I took advantage of the opportunity and ran upstairs quickly. I slapped every door hard and shouted: "Open the door quickly, hurry up, someone is going to set fire to the inn, hurry up."
There was a rattling knock on one door after another. First there were bursts of complaints, and everyone opened their own doors in disheveled clothes. The group of people looked over, and only Li Keqing, who walked in front of me, looked the most handsome.
"What did you say, madam?"
"Someone wants to set fire to the inn and kill Yelu..."
Before I could finish saying Yelu Zihan's name, Li Keqing's eyes stopped me. He turned back to a starry-eyed guard and said, "Go down and see what's going on."
Everyone was in a panic. The originally narrow corridor was suddenly crowded with guards in crooked clothes. Li Keqing glanced at him and said calmly: "Has the master come out?"
"Are you the one doing the trouble again in the middle of the night?"
When I heard that Cao Cao had arrived, Yelu Zihan walked up to me, his face full of dissatisfaction.
I curled my lips, too lazy to talk to him.
"Master, I'm afraid someone knows our whereabouts, so we shouldn't stay here for a long time."
As soon as Li Keqing finished speaking, the soldier who had just been sent to see the situation stumbled back. To be precise, he climbed up the stairs in a panic and reported breathlessly. "Master, something serious has happened. There are kerosene and straw everywhere down there.
A fire has started at the front door. The fire is still very strong."
"Protect Master and Madam, and leave quickly."
As soon as Li Keqing finished speaking, Yelu Zihan and I were surrounded and ran towards the outside of the inn.
The fire became more and more fierce, making a crackling sound, and the roof of the inn was also emitting thick black smoke. Li Keqing was the last one to come out. Not caring that he was in a mess from the smoke, he said to Yelu Zihan: "Master
,are you alright?"
"It's okay. Is there anyone else inside?"
"No more. Our soldiers came out and discovered it in time. No one was injured or killed."
When Li Keqing said this, I always felt that something was wrong. Looking at those of us who survived the sea of fire, I always felt that something was missing.
woman--
"The shopkeeper and the store girl seem to be still inside."
It suddenly occurred to me that they were the bosses and lived in the backyard for the convenience of doing business all day long. The notifications I just made on the second floor were all guest rooms, so it was normal that they didn't hear such a loud noise.
Li Keqing looked at the already burning inn, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."
