Chapter 2679 Stop It
"Lord Li!"
Everyone rushed to the camp over there, only to see that the entire tent had been completely engulfed in flames. When Tian Ye saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted and rushed forward.
But at this moment, there was a loud "boom".
The entire tent collapsed.
The flames spread rapidly in all directions along with the hot air waves. The person behind Tian Ye was quick-witted and pulled him back.
The few people rushing in the front were caught off guard and were caught in the flames, and the flames suddenly jumped onto their bodies.
“Ah! Ahhh!”
Suddenly, a burst of screams rang out in the night sky, and these people rolled over and over on the ground screaming. The people around them immediately rushed forward and helped them put out the fire on their bodies.
Xie Jiaojiao had been pulled by Xue Huai'en and the others before, and seeing the fire, she ran over regardless of everything. But when she got here, the Jinyiwei and their guards had already surrounded them. She desperately pushed through the crowd, shouting, "Get out of the way, everyone!"
When the people around saw her rushing towards them like this, they were frightened and stepped back.
She rushed to the front. At this time, the tent had completely collapsed, and the blazing flames were burning fiercely, almost spreading to the surrounding tents.
Someone immediately came over with a bucket of water and put out the spreading flames.
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes turned red.
She shouted, "Hurry up and save him! What are you standing there for? Get him out!"
As she said this, she was about to rush in.
However, Song Zhiwen and Xue Huai'en, who were running behind her, quickly grabbed her. Xie Jiaojiao struggled and screamed. Song Zhiwen grabbed her hands tightly and said in a deep voice, "Jiaojiao, danger!"
"I don't care, I want to save him"
"Are you going to die?"
Although Xie Jiaojiao could drive away the wolves with just a leaf, she was just a petite girl after all, and could not withstand the strength of several big men who pinned her down and made her unable to move. She watched helplessly as the tent was burned to ashes. Apart from the crackling of flames, there was no other sound.
She trembled and froze there.
After a long moment, she slowly turned around, staring at Murong Qiuming and the others with red eyes, and said, "Who is it? Who set the fire?"
“…”
"Who set fire to him?!"
When they heard her words, the people around her were shocked.
Murong Qiuming frowned, and seeing the murderous eyes around him, he shouted in a deep voice: "Jiaojiao, are you crazy!?"
“…”
"Do you know what you're talking about!?"
"Why did you kill him?!"
Seeing that she was already somewhat out of control, Xue Huai'en immediately said to the guards around him: "Miss Xie is not feeling well, send her back to rest!"
The people around were unable to react for a moment and did not dare to move.
Tian Ye and the others were stunned by the fire and the fact that Li Bushang died in the flames. The sadness in their hearts almost swept away their calmness and rationality. It was not until this time, when they heard Xie Jiaojiao's words, that they seemed to come to their senses.
Everyone immediately became furious and shouted at them, "Yes, who is it?"
"Who set fire to our commander?!"
"They must have set the fire!"
"We must make them pay with blood!"
For a moment, everyone was still a little angry after just going through a fierce battle. At this time, they almost lost their minds because of anger, and the Jinyiwei were about to rush up again.
The guards from several families here immediately surrounded them and stood in front of them.
Song Zhiwen hurriedly said, "Everyone, calm down first and get to the bottom of this!"
"What else do you want to say?!"
Tian Ye couldn't hold back any longer at this point, and glared at them with red eyes: "It's clearly you who harmed the commander, what else is there to say now?!"
Song Zhiwen was sweating profusely and stamped his feet, saying, "Just now, when the fire started, we were all with you!"
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were stunned again.
Indeed, just now all the people gathered at the camp gate and fought together, whether it was Song Zhiwen, Murong Qiuming, or Xue Huai'en, they were all present.
Tian Ye frowned, but immediately said: "You are there, but not all of your people are here!"
Having said that, he suddenly looked at the tent that had collapsed to the ground and burned to ashes.
"Where are the people guarding here?!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Yes, although some of them went to the camp gate to cause trouble, some were resting, and some were on patrol and might not have time to pay attention to this place, but there were people guarding the area around the tent where Li Bushang was imprisoned.
Moreover, both sides sent several people to guard here together.
How come when the fire started, all these people disappeared?
Tian Ye was anxious and said quickly: "Where are our people? Why are they all gone?!"
Several Jinyiwei were also panicking, saying in trembling voices: "No, they were not all burned to death, were they?"
"How is that possible?"
As they spoke, the people in Bailong City also came to their senses. Song Zhiwen looked at the flames rising into the sky, almost illuminating the dark sky above them, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Where are the guards we arranged here?"
Everyone looked around.
The guards they had arranged to guard here were nowhere to be seen.
At least just now, when everyone ran over, they only saw people putting out the fire, but did not see the guards and Jinyiwei guards guarding here.
Song Zhiwen asked, "Who are on guard duty tonight?"
Everyone looked at each other.
At this time, Xie Jiaojiao raised her head, with two tear marks on her pale face. She looked at Xue Huai'en and said, "Brother Huai'en, the guards here tonight are your family's guards."
"yes!"
Xue Huai'en looked around a few times, but there were so many people around him, so many familiar and unfamiliar faces, that he seemed a little confused for a moment. He said, "Where are my people? Why are they all gone?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him without saying anything.
Song Zhiwen frowned and said, "Besides their men, there are at least six or seven of us who are sent here to guard him every night, more than a dozen people in total. It's impossible that they were all burned to death. Where are they?"
The Jinyiwei here was furious and said, "No need to ask, they must have killed our people and then set fire to the commander. We want to avenge the commander!"
After saying that, these people rushed up again.
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the crowd, saying: "Stop it."
