As soon as the words fell, I saw that there were raging fires in the cottage, and Shen Manqiu on the arrow tower also floated back.

By the time the people outside finally climbed the gatehouse, the inside was already in a sea of fire.

Red flames rise, smoke fills the air, and candle waves emptiness make it impossible to get on your feet, let alone try to get into.

After a while, the tall and sturdy gate of the cottage was also engulfed by the raging fire, and the entire Qifeng Mountain seemed to have become a purgatory on earth, and people couldn't get close to it from afar.

The King of the Three Rivers, who had always been calm and composed, was also deeply stunned, and he didn't expect it to be this scene at all, and when his people went up, they found that Shen Manqiu was nowhere to be found, and all he saw was fire and smoke.

"What is this?" Shangguan Yingyue was also confused, what was going on? Even if Shen Manqiu was unwilling to succumb to the King of the Three Rivers, it seemed that he couldn't afford to burn the entire cottage to ashes, and he would be able to use such a tragic trick?

Zhu Chenglin stood relatively close to the gate of the cottage and choked on the smoke, couldn't help coughing, walked to the front of the car of the king of Sanhe and said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials are foolish, they must have run away......

"Ran away?" The King of the Three Rivers looked at him in disbelief, and smiled indifferently: "You guess let's hear it, how did they run?" ”

Zhu Chenglin sweated through his forehead, and said cautiously: "Lord Qiqi, the lower officials don't know whether it's right or wrong, but if you speculate with common sense, all bandits and bandits have always worked hard if they have benefits, and they are foolish if they don't have benefits." Once you meet an opponent, you can fight if you can beat it, and you can run away if you can't beat it, but there is rarely a hard time. ”

He didn't believe that the people of Qifeng Mountain would set themselves on fire, so why didn't he take this opportunity to wipe out all the bandits. At the same time, he deliberately emphasized the tricks of the bandits, and also left a good foreshadowing for the suppression of so many bandits in Fengcheng County.

"You mean, they knew the king was coming, so they had a plan to get out early in the morning?" The King of the Three Rivers said thoughtfully, if this is indeed the case, then it is really very possible.

After all, he just sent people to surround the retreat path on three sides of Qifeng Mountain, but it was difficult to guarantee that they would not sneak away from the back cliff or the secret passage leading directly to the bottom of the mountain. If they hadn't been prepared, how could they have started such a monstrous fire all at once?

Zhu Chenglin said apprehensively: "The lower officials are just guessing, everything depends on the prince's decision!" ”

"Someone!" The king of Sanhe groaned slightly, and looked at the few people in front of him who bowed their heads and obeyed the order: "Immediately pass the order, all the checkpoints in Qingzhou are under martial law, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, even if you dig three feet into Fengcheng County, you have to find them." ”

Just now he thought of a not very good possibility, these people knew early on that he would send someone to chase him, and thought of a plan to get out, whether Yeqi would have gone to the capital when he was in Chizhou, and deliberately let these people stay here as a cover to attract his attention, so as to buy more time for Yeqi to escape smoothly......

If that's the case, so much time has passed, and it's almost impossible to catch up with Nightshade.

Who are these bandits?

Why did they help Yeqi, and how did they get people out of the palace?

If there is no internal response, how can it be possible to take people away from the heavily guarded palace?

The more the King of the Three Rivers thought about it, the more gloomy and terrifying his face became, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhu County Order! ”

"The lower official is here!" Zhu Chenglin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, what do you command?" ”

The king of the three rivers said undoubtedly: "This king limits you to arrest all of them within three days, otherwise your life will not be guaranteed." ”

Over the years, he has been in charge of the land of the three states for a long time, and all the life and death of officials below the county order in Chizhou, Liaozhou, and Qingzhou are all decided by his words. The officials at and above the county order are not much different, but they will hand over a fold to the capital to take a situation, and everything is ultimately up to him.

Zhu Chenglin was helpless and had to answer the order, he didn't know what he had done wrong, he had a feeling of patting the horse's ass on the thigh, and as a result, he was kicked to the ground by the horse.

I can't wait to slap myself a few times, I originally stayed well in the county office, and I came to Qifeng Mountain to make a lot of fun, isn't this looking for death?

Zhu Chenglin thought that after the King of Sanhe heard Shen Manqiu's words of sowing discord, he was already suspicious of him, so he deliberately made this arrangement for him.

In fact, it is not that the King of Sanhe is deliberately trying to embarrass Zhu Chenglin, but there is no problem anywhere in these three states, but this Fengcheng County, which is hundreds of miles away, has a relationship with Yeqi, whether he wants to take Zhu Chenglin to the knife?

"Let's go home!" After the Three Rivers King made arrangements for the follow-up personnel and matters, he made a decisive decision.

It is not known how long this fire will burn, and there is no point in him continuing to stay here, and he must return to the palace as soon as possible to make the best judgment and response to the latest situation.

With the order of the King of the Three Rivers, the people on the mountain retreated a little except for a small number of people who were ordered to stay behind, and the rest of the people all went down the mountain one after another.

The wind blew the fire for a long time, and the fire on Qifeng Mountain burned more and more, reflecting half of the sky, as if it was going to burn the entire mountain to ashes.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Manqiu and a group of more than ten people appeared in a small valley near Qifeng Mountain.

Shen Yuan looked at the fire-filled and smoky Qifeng Mountain in amazement, and was stunned there, without saying a word for a long time. Unexpectedly, the cottage that has been operated for more than ten years has been burned down in front of his eyes, who can understand the regret and reluctance in his heart?

He has been entrenched in Qifeng Mountain for so many years, although he doesn't dare to say that his business is solid, how can he not leave a way out for himself?

The reason why they were able to escape smoothly this time was naturally inseparable from the escape secret path that Shen Yuan had dug up early in the morning.

Not to mention him, even everyone who has lived on the mountain for many years is also nostalgic one by one, but at this time they are all covered by the excitement of escaping death.

"Fortunately, there is a plan for the eldest lady's golden cicada to get out of the shell, otherwise I'm afraid that we will all become turtles in the urn." Xia Ziwen looked at the shadowy figures up and down the mountain of Qifeng Mountain, and sighed.

Hou Kaisen nodded and said, "I didn't expect them to dispatch such a big battle, and the Ghost Palace and the Three Rivers Royal Mansion really look up to us too much." ”

"That mysterious woman who is out of nowhere, isn't she from the Ghost Palace?" Shen Jingbei thought for a while, and said with palpitations: "If she makes a move on us, I'm afraid that a few of us will not have the possibility of escaping at all......

Thinking of the mysterious woman with unfathomable martial arts outside the cottage, everyone's hearts were unconsciously clouded.
