Chapter 383: Mountains of Gold and Silver
When the men in white robes saw the fire starting, they immediately stepped aside and stood guard nearby.
The emperor issued a death order that the two people in the inn must not be allowed to come out. They were guarding here, and as soon as they saw the two people come out, they would attack and kill them.
Those two people must die, otherwise they will be the ones to die.
They were the most powerful shadow guards around Emperor Dong Feng. Emperor Dong Feng would not let them show up unless it was absolutely necessary. But just to kill these two people, he actually sent six of them out.
There are a total of thirty shadow guards of Emperor Dong Feng, each of whom is a master who can fight against a hundred people at once. They are also top-notch masters in the martial arts world. It can be seen that Emperor Dong Feng has invested a lot of money this time.
The imperial guards at the gate of the posthouse finally discovered it. They ran to the back of the posthouse in panic and were shocked to see the raging fire. How could a fire break out in such a heavy snow?
"Quick, put out the fire."
The captain of the Royal Guards shouted, ignoring the smell of kerosene in the air.
"call out!"
As soon as he finished shouting, an unidentified object flew towards him and hit him on the forehead.
"hiss!"
The captain cried out in pain and quickly pressed his forehead, which was already bleeding.
The captain was shocked. The person who attacked him used just the right amount of force and accuracy. It didn't kill him, but only injured him.
He was suddenly stunned. Who hurt him?
If the other party was an enemy, he would probably be dead by now.
If the object that hit him had been a little more off, it would have hit him right in the forehead, and he would not have died.
Thinking of the people in the inn, the captain immediately understood that the person who attacked him was trying to stop him from putting out the fire.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered the Royal Guards to withdraw.
"Hurry back, the fire is too big, let's go back and report to the emperor."
The captain quickly stopped the royal guards who were about to cut down the window.
The royal guards turned around and looked at him in confusion. Prince Li and Princess Li were still inside. As long as they chopped down the burning wood and prevented the fire from spreading into the house, they could rescue the two.
"Go quickly, what are you still standing there for?"
The captain saw that they stopped and shouted anxiously.
"Captain, Prince Li and Princess Li are still inside. We have to rescue them quickly."
One of the Royal Guards said anxiously that they were watching people here, but they did not help and the people were burned to death. They could imagine what would happen to them.
Emperor Dongfeng will definitely take their lives to be buried with Prince Li and the other two.
"Let's go, let's evacuate quickly. We can't put out this fire, pighead."
The captain went up and slapped the Royal Guard on the head, gritting his teeth.
It was precisely because of those two people inside that they could not save them. If they saved them, their entire family would surely die. If they did not, at most they would die themselves.
When the Royal Guards heard what he said, they suddenly understood. Their eyes tightened and they quickly retreated.
They watched helplessly as the fire burned unrestrainedly, unaffected by the wind and snow.
Except for the tiles on the roof, the rest of the inn is basically made of wood. Dongfeng Country is cold, and most of the buildings are made of wood, especially the second-floor floor, which will burn as soon as it comes into contact with fire.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed like a giant beast, engulfing the entire inn.
The fire in the posthouse alarmed the nearby residents. Everyone ran out and saw the flames rising from the posthouse. Some people immediately shouted to put out the fire.
Some of them picked up their weapons and rushed towards the post station.
Some people still knew that King Li and Princess Li of Xifeng Kingdom lived there. In their minds, no matter who lived in the inn, they could not just stand by and watch them die.
But when they rushed over, they were stopped by the Royal Guards.
The captain shouted, "Everyone go back, this fire can't be put out."
"General, isn't there someone else inside?" someone asked in surprise.
The captain of the Royal Guards said calmly: "No, it's empty."
"Oh, that was a false alarm. Let's go back quickly. It's so cold outside."
When the Royal Guards saw that the people were so easily deceived, their previous unhappiness disappeared.
When the royal guards saw the people running to help put out the fire, they cursed them in their hearts for meddling in other people's business. Fortunately, the captain was smart and sent them away with just one sentence.
The shadow guards stared at the thick smoke. There was no sound in the inn from the beginning. They were very surprised. With King Li's martial arts skills, he shouldn't be completely unable to resist, right?
Just watch it burn like this?
This seems a bit unreasonable.
The six of them looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
They really wanted to see what was going on, but the fire was too fierce and they didn't dare to get close.
"Wait."
Someone said.
The other five nodded, as if there was nothing they could do but wait.
Su Yue and the other person were unaware of the fire outside and were leisurely sorting out the treasures they had collected.
Su Yue was amazed. The corrupt officials of Dongfeng Kingdom were so rich, much richer than the officials of Xifeng Kingdom. These things were piled in front of her, forming a mountain.
This is the real gold and silver mountain.
Look at these Dongzhu pearls, some of them are bigger than a baby’s fist, so shiny and bright that they can blind people’s eyes.
There are also these jades, various jade articles, and look at these gold and silver jewelry, each one is a treasure and a fine product, which almost dazzled Su Yue's eyes.
Su Yue picked up an exquisite piece of gold jewelry, which was a lifelike phoenix hairpin. She had never seen jewelry with such exquisite craftsmanship. She couldn't let it go when she held it in her hand. It was so exquisite. Although she didn't like gold and silver jewelry very much, she was also amazed by this phoenix hairpin and liked it very much.
She must keep this phoenix hairpin as a treasure.
But the Dongfeng Kingdom is not at peace. The phoenix hairpin is not something that ordinary people or officials from noble families can wear, but it was found in the home of a minister.
This minister has great ambitions.
Su Yue looked at the pile of things, which might include dragon robes and phoenix robes.
Alas, time really doesn’t allow it, otherwise I would have to check it carefully before taking it away and leaving that thing to them, exposing it to the eyes of Emperor Dong Feng.
Haha...that would be exciting.
When Murong Li came out, he saw Su Yue playing with the phoenix hairpin with a fascinated look. He came to her side, sat down gently, and looked at her lovingly.
Faced with this mountain of gold and silver, Murong Li felt mixed emotions. All these good things were not given to Yue'er by him.
It seemed like from the time he and Yue'er met to the time they got married, he really had never given her anything in all that time.
I used to think Yue'er didn't like these vulgar things, but when I saw it today, I found that she still liked them very much, but she didn't show it as prominently as other women.
Yes, no woman in the world can resist such exquisite things. These things are not only exquisite, but also priceless.
Murong Li secretly swore in his heart that he would collect all the rare treasures in the world and give them to his Yue'er.
"What time is it?"
It took Su Yue a while to realize that Murong Li had come. She carefully put down the phoenix hairpin and asked him.
