Chapter 121: Blazing Fire
The Le County Magistrate's heartbeat quickened. With so many people...
Why!
I can only say sorry.
He really loves money.
"Okay, then I'll be grateful for your guidance in the future." As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of Zhending City.
The man in black also stood up with a smile and completed what Mr. Zhou had asked him to do. The heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
I looked at the night outside. The moonlight was bright and the stars were twinkling, which was suitable for a night tour.
He invited, "Would you be interested in joining me in enjoying the upcoming beautiful scenery, sir?"
The magistrate of Le County stood up, and the two men looked at each other with a knowing smile.
The two of them had already booked a restaurant in the east of Le County.
They chose a perfect spot, with the windows wide open, and looked towards the north of the city while enjoying the wine and food.
At the same time, Mr. Zhou in Zhending Prefecture also picked up his wine glass with a leisurely look. He stood in front of the window, looking far into the north, and a gleam of light flashed in his old and turbid eyes.
It will be soon!
Young Master Huanyu’s biggest worry is about to disappear.
After tonight, they can take their time.
…
Late at night, everything is quiet, the south wind blows gently, and the dogs bark silently.
Inside the inn, the two officers guarding the medicinal herbs dozed off and soon fell to the ground, sound asleep.
At this moment, a team quietly entered the east and west sides of the north of Le County.
The leader solemnly warned, "Don't miss any of the streets."
The layout of the north of the city is very simple, a square shape, divided into two parts by the main street of Le County. The inn is located on the west side close to the main street, and is also the last place visited.
Kerosene spilled onto the ground bit by bit, emitting an unpleasant smell.
But it was already late at night and no one noticed their actions.
Hundreds of people acted simultaneously, and in just half an hour, they had completed all the tasks, and the soldiers who had previously besieged the north of the city had already been evacuated.
At the same time, in different places, people who were concerned about this matter were all looking forward to it.
When the agreed time arrived, people in different locations in the north of the city threw torches directly towards the place where kerosene was spilled in front of them.
boom--
The fire suddenly broke out hundreds of meters high.
The raging flames spread their claws unscrupulously, trying to cover all places under its rule.
Seen from the air, it looked more like a winding, crawling fire snake, thick and long, taking advantage of the wind to sweep across most of the northern part of the city.
"My Lord, look quickly."
On the top floor of the restaurant, a man in black was pointing towards the distance with a happy look on his face.
It was as if a brilliant firework was burning.
The magistrate of Le County was in a complicated mood. Would it really be a bright and smooth road for him to follow the Liang family who did not care about human life?
"Could it be that Your Excellency regrets this?" The man in black noticed his expression and immediately looked at him with a cold gaze.
The Le County Magistrate immediately explained, "How could that be? It was just a momentary emotion. Since I have promised you, sir, I will not break my promise midway."
Now that you're on this boat, don't think about it anymore.
…
Outside Le County, two carriages gradually stopped.
Luo Tingshan, who was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, frowned slightly. Noticing the unusual silence outside, he slowly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice:
"Jiang Cheng?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the scene in the distance that dyed the sky red and said in shock: "...Master, look!"
Noticing that his tone was not right, Luo Tingshan lifted the black brocade robe he was wearing and opened the carriage curtain. Just as he was about to ask what happened, his pupils suddenly shrank and all he saw was a red night sky.
On Fire!
Thick black smoke filled the air, enough to tell how big the fire was.
…
In the northern part of the city, almost all the people were awakened by the smoke. Fen Tao covered her mouth and nose and knocked on the lady's door, but no one answered.
Luo Huai kicked the door open and saw his mother lying flat on the bed, sleeping soundly.
The little world spirit in the fairy palace was also very anxious. How could he suddenly not wake up?
"Mother, wake up." Luo Huai hurriedly stepped forward to push the person, but Zhu Mingqing seemed to have lost her soul. She did not move at all and her face was very red.
Pink Peach placed it directly on her forehead, and her expression instantly became serious: "Madam has a fever, a high fever."
Luo Huai carried the person on his back and hurried downstairs to the open space in the backyard.
At this time, Liang He and others were protecting the medicinal materials. When they saw Zhu Mingqing unconscious and learned that she also had a fever, they had a bad premonition.
They all took preventive medicine, so why did some of them still get sick?
Is there a new illness happening?
"Sir, the fire outside is too big." Qin San covered his mouth and nose, his eyes red from the smoke. "The whole street is on fire. Even if we can escape from the inn, we can't escape from the whole street."
People around had already taken action, carrying buckets of water and pouring them over, but the fire was still spreading rapidly!
The crackling sound of broken walls struck everyone's heart.
Some people suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Emotions are also contagious. There are many women in the courtyard, and crying sounds rang out one after another, and the atmosphere of despair gradually spread.
"Woo, woo, I don't want to die."
"We can't escape."
"I'm not married yet, woo woo..."
“Help, help…”
Song staggered out of the fire, rolling on the ground in pain.
She had offended everyone by drugging someone, but this time when the fire broke out, no one woke her up.
When she woke up from the smoke, the whole room was on fire.
Fortunately, there was water in the room, so she wet the towel and ran out. Otherwise, she would have ended up with a torn corpse.
But at this moment, things are not much better.
Everyone was busy putting out the fire and didn't look closely at the person in front of them. Some of them picked up a basin of water and poured it on the person.
When she felt a hint of coolness, Song thought she had a chance to survive and immediately tried to grab the person in front of her, but she was still on fire and anyone who saw her would avoid her, thus delaying the best opportunity to save her.
Luo Huai looked around. Xiao Fu was taking care of his sister-in-law, his elder brother had run off somewhere, and Fen Tao had already started boiling medicine.
After a while, I noticed the person in my arms move his arm.
"Mom, are you awake?" he asked in surprise.
Zhu Mingqing just felt sore and uncomfortable all over, and he was roasted.
“Ahem…”
Her eyes hurt so much that she couldn't open them. When she managed to open them a crack, she was irritated and burst into tears.
The children were overjoyed to see her wake up.
At this moment, a trace of pain appeared on Wu Yunyun's face. Luo Fu, who had been supporting her, was the first to notice something was wrong: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Wu Yunyun tightly grasped Luo Fu's arm, feeling that breathing had become very difficult: "My stomach... hurts."
