Chapter 56: The Fire

Mu Tianxiang came to his senses, his head was swollen, he listened to Yu Jin's words, looked at the dark sky outside, and asked, "When is it now?"

"Miss, the time has passed. Yu Jin helped her wrap the cloak that had slipped off, and then said: "Uncle Jiang has been waiting outside for a long time, and knowing that you are resting, he didn't let the slave wake you up, saying that when you wake up, let the slave and maid go to the outer courtyard to call him." ”

"Then please ask Uncle Jiang to come over. When Mu Tianxiang heard this, she quickly got up and planned to go out.

She knew what Uncle Jiang was talking about, and when she came back this evening, in addition to asking Uncle Jiang to check the matter of the chili powder, she also specially instructed him to do another thing, which was the same thing that she and Brother Pei Zongze Pei said at that time.

That is around tonight, when no one is around, the incense in the secret room must be quietly transported out.

It's not that she is too careful, at that time in the room outside the secret room, the black shadow with the fragrance she saw made her feel uneasy.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, in short, she must talk about things first, so as not to fall into the hands of others or be destroyed.

Now, it is at the juncture of her development of the sacrificial incense that no accidents can be tolerated, especially those incense utensils on which she has placed her hopes.

When Yu Jin invited Uncle Jiang to come, as she thought, Uncle Jiang told her that he had already sent a reliable person, so he went to the shop when he was ready.

Mu Tianxiang looked at Uncle Jiang, always feeling a little uneasy and flustered. After thinking about it again, she still asked Jiang Bo to find those two people and advance the time by half an hour.

That night, a carriage quietly drove into the backyard of Mu's Xiangfang, and stopped in the courtyard where Mu Tianxiang had come during the day, and the person who answered opened the locked door and waved his hand to let the two people who got off the carriage enter the house, and it didn't take a while. The two of them took out a large box and laboriously loaded it into the carriage.

At this moment, on the roof of the opposite house, there were two people, one of whom 5 watched the people below carry the large boxes with great difficulty, and he was not in a hurry. He whispered to the man next to him who exuded coldness: "We really don't have to go down, are you sure they don't need help?"

This man will help both words very seriously.

The man with a cold light in his eyes was none other than the eldest young master of the Protector Mansion, Yan Shaoting, who was talking to him, of course, Qi Huanyu, who had always been inseparable from her.

Yan Shaoting ignored him, staring closely at the man who answered downstairs, knowing that the man was the big shopkeeper of the Mu family, Pei Zongze.

Thinking that whether it is Mu Wanqiu or Mu Tianxiang, the two of them have no reservations about their trust in this person. He snorted coldly, and the anger emanating from his body became heavier.

And Qi Huanyu, who was beside him, suddenly shuddered, glanced at Yan Shaoting, and couldn't help but sigh that this March day is really cold, especially tonight.

The two of them hid far away above the roof, quietly watching downstairs.

After a while, it went back and forth several times. The two of them finished moving their things.

When the man had locked the door again, the three of them got into the carriage together. Drove out of the yard.

The man in black didn't say a word, and quietly followed the carriage, until the carriage stopped at the side gate of the shogunate, and saw that the eldest lady of the Mu family, accompanied by the housekeeper, picked up the people in the carriage, and the man suddenly stopped and turned to leave.

Qi Huanyu, who was closely following him, couldn't dodge. collided with Yan Shaoting straight, and immediately jumped away with disdain, touched his nose that pretended to be painful, and said angrily: "What are you doing, I don't know if there is someone behind you, I don't know if I squeak in advance when I turn around?"

"Squeak!" Yan Shaoting glared at him. Bypass him and leave.

With a pop, Qi Huanyu behind him almost broke his skills, if it weren't for the fact that they were peeping on the thieves because it was dark, he would have laughed out loud.

He didn't expect it, he just jokingly squeaked, his Young Master Yan actually really squeaked himself, this person is really ......

Why didn't he find out earlier, this person really has a sense of humor!

Holding back a smile, he looked up and saw that Yan Shaoting had already walked away, he turned his head and looked at the door of the Mu Mansion, and several people began to compete with those big boxes again, shook their heads, and hurriedly trotted to chase Yan Shaoting.

And just when they left Mu's Xiangfang with the carriage and came to Mufu, Mu's Xiangfang also ushered in uninvited guests.

Seeing that there was no one around, a group of masked men in black jumped onto the fence and quietly sneaked into the backyard.

This group of people purposefully went straight to the courtyard where Mu Tianxiang had been before, and saw that several mothers-in-law who were nursing the courtyard were sleeping sweetly, although it was strange, they still bypassed them and walked towards the house.

The lock on the door was difficult to overturn, and with a wave of the dagger he carried, the knife rose and fell, and there was only a slight sound.

Gently opened the door, and a strange aroma suddenly wafted from the room, and everyone was startled, thinking that it was poisonous, and immediately covered their noses and retreated.

It was only after a while, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and found that no one had an accident, so I put down my hand with peace of mind, quietly entered the house, and picked the second lock in the same way.

The purpose of this group was very clear, and those high-quality glass bottles and ceramic bottles did not even look at them in front of them, and went straight to the shelf in the innermost part of the room.

"Move all the things!" the man in black led by him waved his hand and whispered to the people behind him.

When these people put away the set of exquisite incense utensils on the shelf, the leader sprinkled the oil drums he had brought all over the room.

When everyone had withdrawn, and was some distance from the house, the man took out a handful of fire from his bosom, wiped it a few times, lit it, and threw it far into the house.

In an instant, a fire dragon was born in the room, spreading along the oil he had poured on him, and in an instant, the whole room was almost completely found.

The leader of the man in black raised his arm again and whispered to his companion, "Go!"

A group of people jumped out of the yard and fled the scene one after another.

However, in a quarter of an hour, the backyard of Xiangfang was filled with the sound of gongs and screams, and for a time the noise of the soldiers broke the silence of the night, and the streets of Licheng on the east side were full of firelight, illuminating the whole street red and bright.

Yan Shaoting and Qi Huanyu, who originally left Mufu, made a detour, and as soon as they returned to the upper room to welcome guests, before they entered the door, they faintly heard the shouts on East Street.

The two of them looked at each other, and as if they hadn't heard, they withdrew from the door and entered, ignoring what was going on outside.

"I don't know if Mufu has already gotten the news at this moment?" Qi Huanyu looked at Yan Shaoting's back and muttered.

Of course, his question was not answered, and he did not expect anyone to answer.

However, when Mu Tianxiang got the news, she had already sent someone to take a look at the several large boxes she had moved into her yard, and found a big house to put away to ensure that nothing went wrong.

It's only half an hour.

As soon as Mu Tianxiang heard that there was a fire in the courtyard of Xiangfang, her body immediately weakened and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Yujin and Luzhu supported her at the same time, so she was saved from sitting on the ground.

Clapped his chest with both hands, and forced down his beating heart, Mu Tianxiang raised his head and knocked on Uncle Jiang.

Lucky!

This is the idea that the two of them shared at this time.

For the first time, Mu Tianxiang really felt that her decision was right.

She was afraid when she thought about it at this time, if it weren't for her uneasiness at the time, she asked Uncle Jiang to advance the time by half an hour and transport those incense utensils back, I am afraid that when she went to see those incense utensils again, there would probably be only ashes left.

"Uncle Jiang, I'm sorry for you to prepare the car quickly, I'm going to go to the shop to have a look. ”

Although Brother Pei sent someone to inform her of the burning of the yard, in order not to make her anxious, he must have suppressed the matter and difficulties.

Although the house was in a separate yard, there were a lot of things in that yard, and once it caught fire, it would definitely cause a lot of damage.

When Mu Tianxiang and Jiang Bo rushed to the shop, it was the time when the fire was at its strongest, for no other reason, because the yard was originally for storing sundries, and it happened to be next door to that room, which was the place to store balsam.

A large part of these balsams are aromatic substances extracted from animals, because they were contaminated and smelled before, and they were stored in this room, so now when these things encounter fire, they instantly ignite and are unstoppable.

There were not many people in the shop, and there was a fire in the yard, and everyone was busy putting out the fire, but it didn't work at all.

Pei Zongze was also in the firefighting team, guiding everyone to fight the fire and grab the goods. The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no one else living in this courtyard except for the few gatekeepers.

As soon as Pei Zongze saw Mu Tianxiang enter the backyard, he immediately stuffed the bucket in his hand into the hands of others, and walked over to block her at the gate of the courtyard.

"What are you doing, it's not safe here, didn't you just say that you should wait for news at home?"

"It's okay, I want to see if everyone is okay, there is such a big thing in the shop, let me wait, how can I calm down." ”

Mu Tianxiang only felt that she was standing at the gate of the courtyard, although Pei Zongze stood in front of her to block some fire for her, but she still obviously felt the heat in her nose, and her face was hot and painful.

Poking his head out and looking at the people who were busy putting out the fire inside, Mu Tianxiang felt a palpitation.

"It's okay here, it's just some debris, you go to the front yard and sit, don't be here, it's too dangerous." Pei Zongze grabbed Mu Tianxiang's wrist and was about to take her to the front yard.

In fact, he had another layer of worry, that night fire, when the late mother died, she witnessed this qiē on the side, he was afraid that she would touch the scene and remember what happened at that time.

"It's okay, Brother Pei, you let me join everyone, so that I can feel at ease. Mu Tianxiang didn't want anything else at this time, just watching these fires not be extinguished for a long time, lest someone be injured again.

Just when she refused Pei Zongze and wanted to go to the yard, a guy suddenly ran up to her and shouted at Pei Zongze: "Oh no, the big shopkeeper, the room next door to the balsam is also on fire!" (To be continued......)
