Chapter 265: The Grain Storehouse Burns
Another seven days passed quickly, and Gu Qingzhi's injuries were basically recovered, but he was told not to do any very strenuous movements. During this period, Jiang Liu delivered medicine and reported to the marshal as usual.
"Uncle, you are much better now, but you still can't do anything big. You still need to rest for a few days. I will send a message back to Dongyou today. I don't know how Dongyou is doing after I left."
When Su Yue said this, worry flashed in her eyes.
"Okay, uncle will listen to Yue'er." Gu Qingzhi stood up and stretched his muscles, and his body felt much more comfortable.
"Oh no! The granary is on fire!" Just as Su Yue and Gu Qingzhi were discussing their next plan, the sound of gongs was heard outside, accompanied by the shouts of soldiers.
"What's going on?" Gu Qingzhi heard shouting outside and wanted to rush out, but was pulled back by Su Yue.
"Uncle, it's not suitable for you to go out. I'll go out and take a look." Su Yue looked at Gu Qingzhi with serious eyes.
Gu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and patted Su Yue's hand.
Afterwards, Su Yue ran out of the tent, only to see a huge fire and thick smoke in the distance under the night sky.
At this time, Yang Junfeng and his men happened to walk past Su Yue. Su Yue grabbed Yang Junfeng and asked anxiously, "Captain Yang, what's going on?"
"As for the Mo Kingdom, my elder brother led his troops to burn their food supplies a few days ago. Now the wind has turned and they are coming to burn ours too!"
Yang Junfeng looked at the fire in the distance, and his deep eyes reflected the raging flames.
"Let's go and see if there's any hope of saving them." After hearing Yang Junfeng's words, Su Yue took the lead and ran over.
Yang Junfeng was about to stop her, but saw Su Yue had already run away.
"Captain Yang, it seems that this granary cannot be saved." When Su Yue stood still, the fire in front of him was reflected on Su Yue's face. The granary was now on fire from the inside out, and the wind fanned the fire, making it extremely terrifying.
Many soldiers took wooden buckets and poured water on the fire, but it was just a drop in the bucket and was of no use at all.
"Damn it!" Yang Junfeng was so angry when he saw this situation that he punched the small tree next to him, but he was powerless to do anything.
Su Yue looked at the burning fire, then looked around, turned to look at Yang Junfeng and said, "Captain Yang, looking at the wind direction, the granary is in danger. Ignore the fire and move the tents that are not on fire away quickly, otherwise the fire will spread with the wind and it will be difficult to control."
"You have a point. Someone, call everyone over here and move all the tents around here."
General Yang also hurried over at this time and happened to hear Su Yue's words, which coincided with his own thoughts.
On the hillside in the distance, a man in black clothes looked at the burning granary, with a smug look of revenge in his eyes. His profile was as sharp as a knife, his nose was high, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
"Fourth Prince, the Dongyou grain warehouse is gone." The person next to him walked over and bowed respectfully to the man in black.
"Hmph, you dare to set your sights on our food supplies. This is what happens to you." The voice of the Fourth Prince Mo Jingxuan came out faintly, mixed with the wind and carried away into the distance.
Mo Jingxuan, the God of War of the Mo Kingdom and the fourth son of the emperor, is only nineteen years old, but he is not obsessed with imperial power and only wants to fight. He is a strong enemy of Dongyou.
"Let's go." Mo Jingxuan turned around and smiled frivolously with a triumphant expression. It was okay for someone to offend him, because that person hadn't been born yet.
"Junfeng, you and your elder brother will be in charge here. I will report to the Marshal. We have to send this message to Dongyou overnight. After all, the military camp cannot live without food."
After General Yang finished his instructions, he turned and left.
The military camp was in chaos, and Princess Su Yue's mansion was shrouded in dark clouds.
Tomorrow is the day when the Second Prince will come to marry, but there is no news from the Second Miss yet.
Su Qing sat at the table, looking at the treasure bag left by Su Yue. It was unknown what he was thinking in his eyes, and then he turned his head to look to the other side.
It was a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, and the exquisite headdress was made of pure gold, not to mention the gems inlaid on it.
Su Qing raised her hand and opened the treasure bag that Su Yue left for her.
After reading it, his hands dropped weakly.
What was written above was the Second Miss' instructions, telling her to take advantage of the chaos during the wedding to get out, regardless of whether she had any news or not.
After all, her face is still Su Qing. In the chaotic situation, with Xiao He's cover, it is not difficult for her to escape without being noticed.
Su Qing frowned and looked at the unusually exquisite wedding dress with confusion.
