Chapter 760: Setting Fires Everywhere
The fire on Jiang Goudan's side was also under control. When they looked back, the fire in Wu Laoliu's yard was actually out. Everyone found it incredible.
"There is so much water on the ground. Where does it come from?" Someone soon discovered something was wrong.
Where did they get so much water just now? It was useless to pour it into the fire and it was quickly burned dry.
At this time, the fire on Jiang Goudan's side was extinguished, and a few people were left to guard the yard. They also came to see the situation on Wu Laoliu's side.
Shen Qingqian followed behind Li Laosan with a curious look on her face.
When Liang saw her, she quickly pulled her away and whispered, "Where have you been? It's so dangerous tonight, don't run around!"
"I'll go help fetch water. Don't worry, mom. I will protect myself." Shen Qingqian blinked.
Everyone in the family now knows that she is learning martial arts from Cheng San, but they all think that she is just learning it for fun on a whim and no one takes it seriously.
At this time, Liang Shi didn't say much, but just held Shen Qingqian and Shen Zhe's hands tightly.
Wu Laoliu and others walked around the yard several times but still couldn't see anything.
"Strange, it feels like someone helped us put out the fire, but there are no traces on the ground."
"And why did that person leave without a word after helping?"
"No, think about it, we were all at the well just now, and we didn't see anyone else fetching water. So where did he get the water to put out the fire?"
This last question goes straight to the soul and no one can answer it.
"Mom, I'm so sleepy." A child from somewhere shouted.
Everyone was confused, but it was a good thing that the fire was out. Everyone quickly got back to work and settled the people whose houses were burned down first, and would deal with the others until tomorrow.
However, what Shen Qingqian and the others never expected was that tonight's fire was not an accident. Not only were they affected, but everyone within a semi-arc of a hundred kilometers surrounding the north city gate was affected.
At this time, countless fire reports were being sent to Liang Cheng at the camp five miles outside the north gate of Ebei City.
At the same time, the small group of people who were sent out to investigate the news also rushed into the military camp.
"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy! The barbarians are coming!" They shouted and roared all the way.
Liang Cheng stood up suddenly and looked at Sheng Ze, "Your Highness"
"Uncle Liang, just do as we said before. The fires in various places tonight are probably their work. I will have someone deal with it." Sheng Ze said calmly.
Because they had known this would happen, they had made a lot of preparations in the past few days, but they did not expect them to come so soon.
I really didn't expect that this time those foreign tribes actually spent so much energy to send people to sneak into northern Hubei and set fires everywhere. I think it was to disrupt the morale of the army and the people.
Unfortunately, they will soon find out that northern Hubei today is no longer the same as it used to be.
Sheng Ze did not go to the front line with Liang Cheng tonight. Instead, after seeing the news that Huanxiyuan was on fire, he led a small team to Xiaonantun.
There was no way Shen Qingqian could sleep that night. Putting aside the things given by the system, the fire tonight was really weird.
She had just laid down for a while when she suddenly turned over and stood up.
Shen Qingqian didn't know whether her inference was correct, but it was obvious that the fire tonight was set intentionally.
First, they set fire to the yard of Wu Laoliu and his family, which was the most likely to burn. When the fire was out of control and everyone's attention was drawn to it, they set fire to Huanxiyuan and Jiang Goudan's yard. The purpose was to burn down all three yards at once.
But why?
Shen Qingqian soon found out the answer.
At Huanxiyuan, not long after everyone settled down, screams were heard from Jiang Goudan's yard.
"Murder! Help, help!"
