Perhaps the heavy snowfall in winter, which has not been seen in decades, has taken away the share of rain that originally belonged to summer. Since the beginning of spring, Xueyantuo has only received a few sporadic spring rains that are worth gold, barely maintaining the growth of some crops.
In the past month since the beginning of summer, Xue Yantuo has not seen even a drop of rain, nor has there been any gloomy weather.
Under the scorching summer sun, one can imagine how dry the weather is.
Therefore, although the fire in the west courtyard where Fang Yiai lived temporarily started under the eyes of the two guards who were ordered to escort him, by the time they summoned people to rush to put out the fire, the fire had
It's already out of control.
Until Mrs. Hongxiao's courtyard was set alight by Fang Yiai, the fire that spread out of the West Crossing Courtyard was still not completely under control.
The fire that towered into the sky in the royal court looked particularly dazzling under the dark night.
Many people who were cooling off in the courtyard after dinner saw the red night and curiously looked in the direction of the thick red light. From a distance, they saw the fire rising into the sky in the direction of the Royal Court.
Many people sighed, there was a commotion last night, and the royal court was on fire today. No one would think that the sudden fire in the royal court was just a leak. They shook their heads helplessly and sighed, thinking, it seems that there will be no fire tonight.
I want to have a peaceful sleep.
Uh-huh, how many days have the people of Xue Yantuo slept peacefully since the Mnzi captives advocated war with the Tang Dynasty?
well!
As for the residents near the Royal Court who had been affected by Mrs. Hongxiao's city-wide search warrant earlier, they sent off the wolf-like search officers and soldiers in a good mood, and looked at the flames in the Royal Court indifferently, silently.
Cleaning up the messy house.
The people nearby were unable to think about whether the fire would spread beyond the royal court and harm their homes, and they did not want to bother to imagine.
Watching Wu Man drink the medicine and take the empty medicine bowl, Li Zhong asked Wu Man a little uneasily if he needed to go to the royal court to tell Fang Yiai that Yilan and Yan Qina had been taken over by Chen Dayou.
The others escorted her out of the city safely to avoid any accidents happening to Fang Yiai.
Thinking of Fang Yiai's countless instructions to everyone to put safety first, as long as people are alive, things will be done one day. If people die, everything will really become a cloud. Although Wu Man is also very fond of it.
I wonder if Fang Yiai will be criticized by Mrs. Hongxiao, but after thinking for a long time, she finally shook her head.
"If Mrs. Hongxiao is really suspicious of the general, she will definitely send people to keep a close eye on the general overtly and covertly in the past two days. If she rashly goes to the royal court to seek information from the general, she may not only not reassure the general, but also make her
The general fell into a dilemma and fell into Mrs. Hongxiao's plan." Wu Hao said.
"I understand." Li Zhong nodded and said, "Dayou and the others should have arrived at Mu Qing's place safely by now. You should have a good rest and recover from your injuries as soon as possible so that you can do things easily." He did not mention it again.
Fang Yiai was afraid that Wu Han would waste his energy even more.
"Hey, where is the fire?"
"Looking in the direction, it seems, it seems to be the royal court?"
"Maybe it just got lost, right?" The speaker's tone was very uncertain.
"Look, look, it's happening again!" Excitement and gloating coexisted.
"Take a walk? You can't go to two places in a row, right?"
"Isn't it because Lord Vulcan can't stand the behavior of Munchiao and Mrs. Hongxiao?"
""
Hearing the gloating conversation among Arzhan's men in the yard outside, Li Zhong and Wu Hao looked at each other, both seeing something in the other's eyes and guessing, could it be the general who did it?
Wu Han looked anxious. He lifted the sheets and was about to put on his shoes and get out of bed. Li Zhong pushed him back and said, "Don't be anxious. I'll talk about it first. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the general." Even so, Wu Han was comforted.
, but Li Zhong himself didn’t know for sure.
"Skinny Monkey didn't come back last night." Wu Hao grabbed Li Zhong's hand and said with a serious expression.
Although Wu Hao's words were only half of an unfinished sentence, Li Zhong understood what Wu Hao was hiding in his mouth but could not say.
It is very possible that Shou Monkey is already dead, and Mrs. Hongxiao, who was unable to catch anyone, ordered someone to whip the corpse or do something else, but Fang Yiai found out about it, which made Fang Yiai feel angry.
I have to say that Wu Hao, Li Zhong and others knew Fang Yiai very well.
The reason why Fang Yiai set fire to the royal court in such a hurry, risked angering Mrs. Hongxiao, and rescued Qizaro early... Part of the reason was indeed because she was stimulated by the corpses of the three thin monkeys, and the more important reason was,
But it is the safety of Wu Hao and others.
In the current situation, judging from Li Shimin's posture, he is probably determined to destroy Mn Chijiu. Manganchijiu also understands that he has completely angered Datang and is already riding a tiger. Thinking about it, unless he dies or the Tang Dynasty
Tang Dynasty is destroyed!
As the woman behind Mangan's kidnapping, Mrs. Hongxiao had no way out.
Because I have medical skills, and Mrs. Hongxiao needs to learn from other medical skills to develop ideas to help her prepare poison, so if she falls into the hands of Mrs. Hongxiao, as long as her poison preparation fails, I will not be able to do it for the time being.
dangerous.
But Wu Hao and others did not have such conditions. If they fell into the hands of Madam Hongxiao, they would not die! What's more, Yilan's two dead guards were recognized by Madam Hongxiao's people. Even if they could not be sure whether Yilan
Following back to the royal city, it did not prevent her from ordering the city to be sealed off, allowing only entry but not exit! It was very convenient for her to capture Wu Man and others. If she could capture Yilan by the way, she would take this opportunity to manipulate Qizaro to order Yilan to be captured.
Lan gave her marriage to Mn Chi and took her abducted by Mn Chi on the excuse that she was in poor health and had a good Zen position.
If she is allowed to do it, the morale of Mn Chijiao, which has been suppressed with great difficulty, will be greatly improved, and Mnjijiao will be able to legitimately order conscription to various tribes and force people everywhere to recruit troops.
His troops were thrown into the battlefield.
With the injection of fresh blood, if the Tang army wants to eat Pingmanchiji and Xue Yantuo as soon as possible, it will become more difficult. Both manpower consumption and supply consumption may double.
Once they are kidnapped by Manganese and turn over, will the Western Turks, who are ready to take action and want a share of the pie, still maintain a wait-and-see attitude?
Therefore, no matter what, Fang Yiai cannot let Mrs. Hongxiao free her hands to concentrate on arresting Wu Man, Yilan and others, and distract Mrs. Hongxiao's attention, disrupt her thinking, and destroy her calmness.
The best way is to completely destroy her hard work, rescue Qizaro who is tightly controlled by her, direct all her hatred towards herself, and drive her crazy!
If she knew that Qizaro was missing, Mrs. Hongxiao would definitely think of herself first and ask someone to look for her in the courtyard, and she would definitely rush to Qizaro's residence to check the situation.
At this time, Fang Yiai set fire to the yard where she was staying temporarily, just to tell her clearly that Qizaro was rescued by herself. Tell her that she was not under her control. This was to undermine her confidence and disturb her.
Her train of thought. Even if she ordered a comprehensive first inspection of the royal court and wanted to dig deep into the ground to find Fang Yiai, in this dry season, the royal court's manpower had to be allocated to control the fire.
Haha, you must know that the location of Xikuoyuan is very close to the place where the servants in the royal court live together. Once the fire spreads there, all the belongings that the servants have accumulated with great difficulty will be turned into ashes.
In addition, what Fang Yi likes to bet is that even if Mrs. Hongxiao orders a blanket search of the royal court, not many people would dare to actually search Mrs. Hongxiao's residence!
What made Fang Yiai feel even more open-minded was that there were actually guards in the yard who were angry and poisoned by Mrs. Hongxiao. Those wailings were really frightening to those who heard them, and made people even more afraid to enter Mrs. Hongxiao's house easily.
In the yard, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be the one lying in the yard dying.
The burning of Mrs. Hongxiao's yard was not only to attack Mrs. Hongxiao and increase Mrs. Hongxiao's hatred towards herself, but also to destroy her harmful things.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Zhong and Wu Han to guess all of what Fang Yiai did, but it did not hinder their Fang Yiai's safety.
Li Zhong pushed Wu Hao back on the bed, turned around and came to the yard, climbed up on the roof, and looked in the direction of the royal court. When he was about to go to the royal court to inquire about the news, Arzhan turned around from the front yard and saw
When Li Zhong was on the roof, he waved to Li Zhong to come down, and he and Li Zhong entered Wu Hao's room again.
Arzhan could see clearly that although the matter could be discussed with Li Zhong, if the two of them had to finally make a decision, Wu Mao would have to nod.
"I believe you all know about the fire in the Royal Court." After Arzan came in, he said without any nonsense, "You must also think that the fire in the Royal Court is evil, it seems like someone deliberately set the fire, right?"
Wu Han and Li Zhong looked at each other, nodded, and did not hide anything. Wu Han said, "To be honest, General Arzhan, Zaiping estimates that this fire is probably related to my general."
"My people went to the royal court to inquire about the news. Looking at the direction of the fire, it is generally estimated that it was the courtyard where Mrs. Hongxiao lived temporarily, which originally belonged to the Khan's wife."
Arzhan looked as expected and continued, "Besides, I heard that Qizaro disappeared together with your general."
"Everything in the royal court is in chaos now, and neither of them have been seen. Furious, Mrs. Hongxiao once again ordered the whole city to be cordoned off, and ordered door-to-door inspections. You two should feel aggrieved for the next two days and hide in the cellar.
Here." Arzhan said, feeling a little headache.
"How is my general doing now? Maybe General Arzhan has found out specific information?" Wu Hao sat up from the bed, grabbed Arzhan's hand in desperation, and asked.
"There is no specific information yet, but you two had better hide it first. The patrol officers and soldiers all have portraits of you two." Arzhan said, "Otherwise, when your general is safe, something will happen to you two.
If I do, won’t it cause trouble to your general?”
Seeing Wu Hao and Li Zhong's worried and hesitant looks, Arzhan added, "Why, didn't you say you could trust your general's ability before? Now you don't believe that he can turn danger into disaster."
