Chapter 408: Stupid Things
"Son will make arrangements immediately, and leave the mansion to father." Huangfu Ming said seriously, then walked out quickly, feeling very puzzled.
Who dared to set such a big fire outside!
This is just crazy!
Huangfu Xiong put his hands behind his back, his face was gloomy, his lips were tightly pursed, "Prince Jin and Princess Jin are here?"
impossible!
How could they be so fast!
Given the Queen's prudence, she would never let them know that the young prince and the young princess had come to Yan'an City, and acted so boldly and recklessly.
Apart from the two of them, he couldn't think of anyone else.
Such a big fire!
Huangfu Xiong was so angry that he paced back and forth. He had never thought that someone would set a fire, so naturally he had not prepared any countermeasures in advance. Now it seemed that they were too passive.
At this time, Huangfu Xin walked in.
"grandfather."
"Xin'er."
"I know everything. The guards have surrounded the mansion and will never let anyone in." Huangfu Xin smiled gently.
Huangfu Xiong had an expression of admiration on his face. He thought that it would be great if she was a man. With her talents, she would definitely be able to rise to a high position in the court in the future.
Unfortunately, it's a daughter.
But it doesn't matter. When their plan is successful, the Queen has promised that she will let Xin'er marry Prince Rui as his principal wife. When Prince Rui ascends the throne, she will be the Queen.
"Those two children?" Huangfu Xiong's face was gloomy. The city gates were closed, so people outside the city would set fire. They should have come for the young prince and the young princess.
He still couldn't figure out how the other party knew they were in Xian'an City.
They have only been here a few days.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I have arranged guards to surround the small courtyard. They can't run away." Huangfu Xin said confidently and proudly.
"We still can't let our guard down. Send someone to the barracks immediately and ask Qi Yi to lead the troops here." A ruthless look flashed in Huangfu Xiong's eyes.
If it was Prince Jin and Princess Jin who came.
He wanted them to go but never return.
There was no news from Yingze City, which meant that only a few people came. He wanted to see if they could defeat the army of thousands.
"Okay." Huangfu Xin said and went to do it immediately.
Xian'an City is the territory of their Huangfu family, and anyone who wants to cause trouble will only end up dead.
…
The city was in chaos.
The common people who were originally preparing to sleep all got up. After all, the anger was so great that they couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to, especially since the Marquis' Mansion had spoken.
Those who put out fires are rewarded.
Immediately, everyone carried wooden buckets filled with water and went outside the city to put out the fire.
Baihu, Xue Miaoyin and others were standing in the dark not far from the city gate. They had just released Kongming lanterns and came over.
"It looks like the sect leader has taken action." Baihu said excitedly.
"What should we do next?" Xue Miaoyin's eyes sparkled.
Bai Hu said, "You pretend to put out the fire and see if you can run into the sect leader. Now that so many people are rushing outside, they will definitely take advantage of the chaos to come in."
"Okay." Xue Miaoyin nodded.
"You guys be careful, I'll take people to the Marquis' Mansion to pick up Jinzhi and the others." Baihu said. The Sect Master would definitely not stay in the city for long after causing such a big commotion.
The military camp is in the Guanlan Mountains. When the time comes to deploy, they won't be able to escape.
Xue Miaoyin nodded, and took Danqing and other followers to find wooden barrels to get water to put out the fire.
When Nan Jiao saw a steady stream of people coming out, her eyes sparkled brightly. The more people came out, the better, as the chaos would be greater.
Next second.
She took the piccolo and started playing.
The crackling of the burning fire and the various sounds of people passing by made the sound of her flute less obvious.
All kinds of insects in the forest crawled out. When she was in the holy mountain, the seven elders told her that if she learned music, she could control the insects in the wild.
gradually.
Dense swarms of insects swarmed toward the people who came out to put out the fire.
No one paid attention at first until someone felt pain in their body and looked down. When they saw all kinds of insects on the ground, they screamed in fright.
Soon after, everyone else noticed.
The soldiers remained calm, but the civilians were not.
The scene was in chaos, with everyone running in panic. The guards who were originally standing on the roadside had to step forward to maintain order.
That's the gap.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng blended into the crowd like lightning.
They picked up the discarded bucket on the ground and ran into the city in a panic. They didn't stop until they entered the city gate, but they didn't run wildly either.
That would be too conspicuous.
There are many soldiers watching on the city wall now.
They didn't speed up until they had walked for a long time.
Zhan Beiheng had been to Xian'an City before. When the war broke out with the State of Wei, he brought a small number of black iron cavalry and went to the battlefield with the old Zhen Beihou.
Who would have thought that now, he would team up with the Queen to rebel!
…
Marquis' Mansion.
Huangfu Xiong was sitting in his study, writing a letter. He planned to have one letter delivered to the capital by express horse, and the other note to be delivered by pigeon.
He had to get the Queen's attention.
See if she's exposed there.
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door.
"Huo Hui." Huangfu Xiong put down the pen in his hand and called out in a deep voice. The other person was his personal attendant who had followed him for several decades.
Waited for a moment.
No one responded.
Huangfu Xiong's expression changed, and then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, reminding the person hiding in his room.
Usually when he was in the study, Huo Hui would wait outside.
There must be something wrong if there is no response at this time.
"Huo Hui!" Huangfu Xiong shouted angrily.
Bang——
The door of the room was pushed open from the outside.
Jinzhi stood at the door holding a sword, the gleaming sword was stained with blood. She walked into the room step by step with cold eyes and looked at Huangfu Xiong who was sitting at the desk.
"Who are you?" Huangfu Xiong looked at her with sharp eyes. She was wearing the clothes of a maid in the marquis's mansion.
"The one who wants to kill you!" Jinzhi said and stabbed at him with the sword.
This is the study.
Important documents must be hidden here.
But before he got close, two figures emerged from the darkness. They were not dressed in black, but in casual clothes, one man and one woman.
"It's someone from the Netherworld Cult." Jinzhi recognized him at the first glance. After all, she had dealt with the Netherworld Cult before.
They were both stunned.
Unexpectedly, Jinzhi would recognize them.
"Kill her!" Huangfu Xiong said angrily, with a dangerous light in his eyes. He didn't expect that this maid actually knew someone from the Netherworld Cult.
A man and a woman flew over to attack Jinzhi.
Jinzhi pursed her red lips and waved the long sword in her hand. Why hasn't Baihu come over yet? It is very difficult for her to deal with two masters alone.
Sudden.
"Help, don't kill me, I am the little princess of Prince Jin's Mansion." Baoer's panicked and frightened voice rang out in the yard.
Huangfu Xiong's face darkened.
Why are they here?
Didn’t Xin’er say that there was a circle of guards guarding the small courtyard?
Is he the maid's accomplice?
Huangfu Xiong was about to get up and go outside to see what was going on, but he quickly sat down again. This maid came to kill her, so how could her accomplices kill the little princess?
No!
They are a gang!
What a mess!
When did they come together to conspire?
Where are the people in the yard?
There was a sinister sneer on Huangfu Xiong's face. He wanted to see what the two children could do!
If they have the guts to come in, he will make sure they can’t get out!
