Chapter 407: Fishing in Troubled Waters
"Yes, General!" the four guards said in unison, and then they quickly went downstairs with their weapons.
Arrived at the city gate.
They explained the situation.
The guards guarding the city gate opened the door immediately, but only a little bit, and four guards quickly walked out.
Nan Jiao, who was hiding in the dark, was very satisfied when she saw someone go out. Sure enough, the fire still attracted their attention. She didn't know what would happen next.
Will they send more people to put out the fire?
"I'll go up first, you find a chance to go into the city." Zhan Beiheng said in a low voice. Anyway, he had changed his appearance and no one would recognize him.
"No, let's just use the dragon." Nan Jiao made a decision. It doesn't matter if the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion finds something unusual, as long as they hide it well.
They couldn't catch them.
After entering the city, they had to bring Yoyo to their side as quickly as possible.
Daddy and second brother should be here soon.
What's more, they have other preparations. They have arranged people to go to the military camps in the northern border to destroy their food and grass and see how they march and fight.
It's just a bit of a waste of food.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Zhan Beiheng looked at the densely packed crowd on the tower and said, "Okay."
Nan Jiao took out the piccolo from her sleeve pocket, but she didn't play it immediately. Instead, she waited for the right opportunity.
A moment later.
The fire in the woods grew bigger and bigger, with thick smoke and flames rising to the sky.
Even people in Xian'an City could see it clearly.
The four guards quickly returned the same way, all of them with particularly grim looks. They were the closest and could naturally see it clearly. The fire was too big.
If the fire is not put out or continues to spread towards the city gate, it will definitely be of no benefit to them.
"General, the fire is too big and we can't see anyone else." The leading guard coughed a few times to report, and they didn't dare to get too close.
Qi Jinsong was furious. The fire was indeed getting bigger and bigger. Was the arsonist crazy?
The forest was very large and connected to the Guanlan Mountains. If the fire was not put out, it would probably burn there eventually. Suddenly, he looked at the guards on duty.
"No matter how big the situation is, you must stay at your posts while everyone else goes to put out the fire." He made a quick decision.
Although the military camp was not in the city, there were 30,000 soldiers guarding the city. The military camp was on the other side of the Guanlan Mountains, so it was not particularly far away.
The fire must be put out!
If it spreads to the military camp, the consequences will be disastrous!
The person who set the fire must be crazy!
"Yes, General!" The guards on duty spoke in a firm voice, indicating that they would never leave.
Qi Jinsong quickly went down the city tower with an extremely ugly look on his face, and arranged for a guard to go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to report the current situation.
After all, this happened suddenly.
He couldn't hide it, nor did he dare to hide it.
In the darkness.
Nan Jiao stared intently, holding the piccolo tightly in her hand without moving. It would be best if they could sneak in through the city gate.
This won't cause a big stir.
"Let's wait a little longer. If there are a lot of people coming out, we can take care of the two guards and pretend to be them." Zhan Beiheng said in a low voice.
The fire grew bigger and bigger.
It can be seen that the general guarding the city is a little anxious, otherwise he would not open the city gate.
"Okay." Nan Jiao put away the piccolo.
…
Zhenbeihou Mansion.
Yoyo and Baoer had not slept yet. They were looking at the Kongming lanterns in the sky that were getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly, they saw thick smoke in the distance.
There was a fire in the mansion that night, and they were all too familiar with the thick smoke.
"Is there a fire outside the city?" Baoer asked in surprise.
"It looks like the leader has taken action." Jinzhi said firmly, touching her chin, otherwise she would not have made such a big fuss.
Yoyo's face was filled with joy. "Great, can we take action now?"
If he guessed correctly.
After father and mother enter the city, they will definitely take them away immediately. They don’t have much time to spare and must do something tonight.
Jinzhi told them that the Zhenbei Marquisate and the Queen were planning a rebellion.
They are so bad!
He actually wants to seize his grandfather's kingdom!
"Yeah." Jinzhi felt that the blood in her body was boiling. She told the young master and young lady about the rebellion between the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the Queen.
They have to find evidence of their conspiracy.
"Let's go now." Baoer said excitedly, with an eager look on his face. They came to Xian'an City specifically just to see what was going on.
Now that we know they are planning a rebellion, of course we are looking for evidence.
Then the Emperor can sentence them and make sure they can no longer do anything.
Jinzhi looked at them with a smile, "Just stay here and I'll go find him."
"You definitely can't do it alone. The Marquis' Mansion is heavily guarded. It would be better if you disrupt the Mansion while Baoer and I take the opportunity to go to where the old man lives." Yoyo said calmly.
I have been staying in the Marquis' Mansion for so many days.
He knew that the old town's Beihou had the most say.
The evidence is surely with him.
"Wait a moment. The fire outside the city seems to be getting bigger and bigger. The guards guarding the city will definitely come to report. We will act after they take action." Jinzhi said seriously.
It is easier to fish in troubled waters.
I wonder if Baihu and the others will come to the Marquis' Mansion. Seeing the fire outside the city, this idiot should be able to guess the Sect Master's actions, right?
Yoyobaoer nodded to show that he would listen to her.
The originally quiet Marquis' Mansion soon became boiling with anger. The fire outside the city was so huge that the dark night sky was illuminated by the fire, coupled with the strong wind.
The thick smoke was billowing into the city, and it was hard for anyone to ignore it.
Huangfu Xiong was furious when he learned about the fire outside the city. How could there be a sudden fire at this time, and such a big fire? It was too abnormal.
"Father, I think someone set the fire on purpose," said Huangfu Ming.
"This is nonsense!" Huangfu Xiong glared at him unhappily.
Huangfu Yue said, "Grandfather, I am willing to lead people to put out the fire. The fire is too big. If we don't find a way to stop it, it will spread to the city gate and even to the Guanlan Mountains."
I heard the words "Guan Lan Mountains".
Huangfu Xiong became anxious.
Not only is the military camp there, there are also unexploited mines there, and the weapons manufacturing site is also in the Guanlan Mountains. We absolutely cannot let that area catch fire.
"You must take the soldiers in the city to put out the fire immediately. Citizens who are willing to put out the fire will be rewarded, but if anyone wants to escape from Xian'an City, they will be killed directly." Huangfu Xiong said sternly.
"Sun'er understands." Huangfu Yue said in a loud voice. This time he must put out the fire and make a great contribution.
After he left, Huangfu Xiong looked at Huangfu Ming and said, "Go patrol the city and kill anyone who seems to be acting strangely, especially those who are lighting lanterns."
"Son will do it right away. Father, do you want to send more people? I'm afraid it's a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Huangfu Ming said worriedly.
After all, the young prince and the young princess are in the marquis's mansion.
"Arrange some people to surround the yard from the outside and don't let anyone in or out!" Huangfu Xiong said loudly with a stern look on his face.
Been preparing for so many years.
He would never let his hard work be destroyed like this.
