Chapter 716: When the Great Tribulation Comes, You Run First
Ignition? These people want to set fires?
Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but take a deep breath and think quickly. He didn't think he was so lucky...... Or if the luck is so bad, it is to go to the Tianfeng Guild for a while to thank Xiaoxiao and exchange information with each other, and it will be so coincidental to encounter this obviously very abnormal behavior.
Speaking of which, when the old lady Yue adopted him, it was after a fire, could it be that he was related to the word fire?
He thought about it seriously, and at this moment, regardless of the task at hand, he shouted that a dog thief would dare to ...... in broad daylight No, when the black light is blind, arson causes evil, harms the people of Nanjing, and then jumps out, then what will be the result. But he just thought about it casually in his heart, and he didn't mean to put it into practice at all, but quietly flashed out of the doorway and retreated the same way.
When he finally retreated to the small alley in front of the Tianfeng, which had long since returned to quiet, he saw that the originally dark night sky was already on fire, and the noise of gongs and drums was getting louder and louder, and even spread in all directions.
"Hurry up and put out the fire! It was the traitor Xiao Jingxian and his comrades who made a rebellion! ”
"Hurry up, catch one and you'll get the first credit!"
"Oops, it's Deputy Qin's home that is on fire, save people!"
Hearing this messy voice, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but think about it again, whether he should climb over the wall and hide in Tianfeng Xing again, after all, this place, which is like the Golden House of the Six Princes, should be someone else who will not dare to trespass.
But when he thought about it again, the six princes were a little stronger than the puppets, what if those people who set the fire were not just pretending to be Xiao Jingxian's henchmen, but also planning to kill two birds with one stone?
Yue Qianqiu, who had no plans to fight the fire just now, was very worried about whether he wanted to be a hero to save the beauty - although Xie Xiaoxiao is not a beauty who loves him, and he may just have unrequited love for Zhen Rong, but his biggest shortcoming is that he can't turn a blind eye to relatives and friends.
So, when he came to the gate of the Tianfeng, he climbed up the wall in three or two and quickly glanced inside. And at this glance, he found some clues.
He hadn't stayed here for a long time before, and he didn't alarm anyone when he came out, which may be explained by the fact that the Sixth Prince had just left and he was in good shape. But now that the movement outside is already so big, the people here seem to be asleep, so it is very unreasonable.
Thinking that the sixth prince had just come here, Xie Xiaoxiao also said that every time he encountered this situation, other people would be driven back to the room by the accompanying guards, Yue Qianqiu felt a total in his heart, and simply pushed over the wall, and then cautiously approached a room in the front yard, and when he pushed the door, he found that it was not closed at all, he listened carefully for a moment, simply took off the sweat towel and covered his face, and rushed straight in.
The next moment, he found that the two people were lying there motionless, and when he touched his heart, his heart immediately sank. He's dead...... Although he was not a forensic doctor, he instinctively felt that people had not just died.
At this moment, there was a shouting outside, followed by the Tianfeng street lamp that only had the intersection, but the dark alley inside suddenly lit up, as if a torch had shone here. Just as he sighed helplessly, thinking to himself that this time he would have to kill the old staff in Beijing like the last time he went to Beiyan to get out, and there was a sound of talking outside.
"It's the emperor's heart, and the emperor has been here before, so there is no need to be alarmed."
"Anyway, let's catch the arsonist and make a show......"
"After all, pillow wind is the hardest ...... to repel"
The first command was loud, but the next voice seemed to be a whisper. Realizing that these guys who bluffed to catch the arsonist were likely to be thieves shouting to catch thieves, Yue Qianqiu's heart moved, and then he returned the same way without thinking about it, and when he returned to the house where he had just seen Xie Xiaoxiao, he strode to the door without saying a word, and shouted in a low voice.
"Someone outside pretended to be Xiao Jing and set the fire first, and he has already found out that this neighborhood is here. It seems that someone in your front yard is dead, you can do it yourself, I can only help you get here! ”
Leaving these words, he very irresponsibly went straight over the wall to the next door. In his opinion, it is enough to do this by himself. However, when he climbed all the way over the adjacent wall and quickly slipped through the neighbor's neighbor, he suddenly heard Xie Xiaoxiao's exclamation that was enough to pierce the night sky.
That's not a girl, is it? are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, how can they see a dead corpse like this? Or is it ...... Deliberately?
Fortunately, the previous two times in and out, the route is familiar with the route, and at this time, Yue Qianqiu left all the way, just to avoid the flow of people who hurried here. Even so, when he finally got out without danger, he was still sweating profusely, but he had almost figured it out a little bit in his heart.
Arson, most of it was to pour dirty water on Xiao Jingxian, arousing the Nanjing army and people to fight against the big demon king.
As for the dead man in the front yard of Tianfeng Xing, it is difficult to say. Maybe it was the guards brought by Xu Houcong who did it, in order to frame Xie Xiaoxiao; Maybe these people did it, and the purpose was to lure the suspicion of arson to Tianfengxing to cover up and harbor it; Maybe the inside line that belonged to Da Wu found something that was killed by someone or someone else's mouth......
In view of the fact that there were too few clues, he just thought about it casually, listened to the six roads and looked in all directions, and quickly detoured to rush back wholeheartedly.
The fire that was ignited in Qiuer suddenly alarmed half of the sleeping officials and people of Nanjing, and there were calls for firefighting in all directions, and after a while, it attracted countless soldiers and horses to gallop around in the city. And in this chaotic season, Yue Qianqiu finally rushed back to Sui Mansion by moonlight.
Although he came back late, because he was carrying a snack in his hand, and he still had the waist card given by Deputy Sui when he went out, plus he was a close confidant of Old Lady Chen, he generously gave a silver horn to the porter of Sui Mansion, saying that it was rewarded by Old Lady Chen.
After all, Xiao Jing's honest face that put on Yue Qianqiu's makeup first was very confusing.
And Yue Qianqiu went straight back to the courtyard where Xiao Jingxian lived, and saw that there was still a vigilant servant left in the courtyard at night, he secretly sighed that Xiao Jingxian didn't know what magic power he had, and he still had such a loyal henchman after leaving all the guards and subordinates to treason before. He walked directly to the door of the main room, stretched out his hand and pushed it, and saw that the door was only hidden, so he strode in.
As soon as he entered the house, a voice came from the bed: "Back?" Why is it so late? ”
"Well, I found a teahouse and asked about the situation, and then I watched a farce of arson."
Yue Qianqiu didn't mention the fact that he went to Tianfengxing, and talked about the gossip of the teahouse shopkeeper, but said with interest that he heard the arson as he saw it: "It is estimated that there are more than a dozen people, some people look at the wind, some people light fires, some people shout for help, and some of them pretend to use your name to overthrow the faint king, it is really a very good show." ”
He paused at this point, and then added: "Oh, and then I heard a woman screaming not far away, as if it had alarmed many soldiers and horses who had been catching the arsonists to rush over, and I was caught off guard and almost ran into these searchers. In order to prevent the fish in the pond, I had to take a detour back, so it was too late. ”
Xiao Jingxian did not frown, but curiously asked Yue Qianqiu a few more detailed questions, and finally said thoughtfully: "We walked more than 200 miles from Yongqing to Nanjing, and it took us five or six days. As long as one or two spies from the group of people who had flocked out of the city had rushed to Nanking to report the news, then before my son-in-law went to see the Sixth Prince to make a case, others should have received the news of my appearance in Yongqing. ”
Yue Qianqiu didn't expect Xiao Jingxian to really put himself into the role of Old Lady Chen, and even take advantage of the unlucky ghost left behind by Deputy Sui, he smiled, he was really too lazy to say this.
Xiao Jingxian, who was sitting on the quilt, continued unhurriedly: "The three cities of Yongqing, Gu'an, and Anci, the soldiers and horses added together are less than 5,000 in the sky, even if I am there, I can't change thousands of troops and horses, and Nanjing should not be afraid." I don't know if the kid who just became the emperor was too weak, or the nobles who followed him to Nanjing were too afraid of me, and they had to incite the entire army and people in Nanjing to hate the enemy. ”
"So when I saw the fire, I knew I couldn't do anything, and I didn't want to run away. Sure enough, not long after the fire lit up, a group of guys named Firefighting jumped out. If you want me to say, these guys are probably just looking for a bunch of scapegoats to blame the dead, and by the way, to clean up the eyewitnesses. I don't know who the woman who screamed in the middle of the night was. ”
Yue Qianqiu completely simplified the process of escaping from the encirclement in a few words, and also turned Xie Xiaoxiao's incident over, and then asked casually: "Are we going to see Xu Houcong tomorrow?" ”
"Why not?" Xiao Jing clasped his hands together and said lightly, "Even if it's a trap, you can jump first." Until the end, it is not yet known who will kill the deer. ”
"Okay, then I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman." Yue Qianqiu lamented his unlucky fate again, he has always been a person who is unwilling to take risks, but the consequence of following Xiao Jingxian as a madman is that he has to play with his life if he has nothing to do. However, after calmly accepting the incident, he made a request when he yawned and turned to leave.
"It's okay to accompany you, but I'm not as powerful as you, and I'm not as crazy as you, please prepare a weapon for me, I don't want to be yin with my bare hands, my bare-handed kung fu can only deal with ordinary people."
"Alright, I'll naturally prepare a weapon for you. By the way, the snacks are taken away, and you have been running all night, and it is estimated that that dinner is not enough to fill up. If you go hungry, you will complain to your grandfather when you go back that I can't even eat enough with me. ”
"Thank you so much, I'm so hungry and want to go to the kitchen and order something to eat!"
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu heard this when he walked to the door, he immediately turned around unceremoniously and took away the snacks, and then went straight out of the door, Xiao Jingxian couldn't help laughing. He leaned back comfortably, and the wrinkles and folds of his face, which had been concealed by the vivid makeup, seemed to be completely stretched.
"There are ambitious people in this world, but there are very few people like you who are too self-aware and idle to the point of being lazy. It's no wonder that even a person with a bad personality like Li Yiming has been with you for seven or eight years, and he seems to have changed as a person...... It's a pity for a person like you to live in the royal family. ”
After closing his eyes for a while, Xiao Jingxian finally clapped his hands gently, and after a while, someone quietly pushed the door in and came to the bed to stand with his hands down.
"Prepare for the worst tomorrow, and if something happens, leave me alone and follow the plan I have set before. But remember, at all costs, cover Qianqiu for me first, and contain the pursuers, as long as he can get out. ”
The man raised his head and looked at Xiao Jingxian with disbelief on his face, until he found the sharp eyes, and then hurriedly lowered his head again and answered. Seeing that Xiao Jingxian didn't have anything else to say, he tiptoed out, and when he crossed the threshold and went out, he stretched out his hands to cover the door again, and his face showed dazed and annoyed.
Why did His Royal Highness King Jin, who had always been cold to others and even more ruthless to himself, treat that kid so kindly?
This night, Nanjing galloped all night, and I don't know how many people woke up, and there are even fewer people who can sleep comfortably in the homes of dignitaries, but it does not include going out for a run at night to eliminate food, and after returning to the room, he eliminated Yue Qianqiu who bought snacks for "Old Lady Chen". It's just that he is in a foreign enemy country, and he still woke up suddenly after the first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the window.
"It's dawn......"
Putting the back of his hand on his forehead to make himself completely sober, he quickly got up. After changing clothes, washing and combing his hair, and cleaning himself, he looked out through the crack in the door, and then immediately opened the door and flashed out and went straight to Xiao Jingxian's house. Seeing that the man had already gotten up, and was looking at him with a whole set of things and smiling, he stood forward with a blank face, just like in the past few days.
When his face was also smeared, he asked angrily, "It's easy for me to go out, what about you?" ”
"It's okay to find someone to pretend to be me and lie down, do you think that the person I put in the Chen family before can stand being fed like a pig day after day, year after year?" Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxian accentuated his tone, "If there is an accident today, you just break through, run, don't leave your hands, don't hesitate, otherwise it will be the two of us who will be ruined, understand?" ”
Yue Qianqiu stared at Xiao Jing for a long time, and finally said seriously: "Don't worry, if you let me stay at the critical moment, then I may hesitate." But if you let me run first, I'll try to run first! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jingxian couldn't help laughing, and then said casually: "It is worthy of a thousand years to be able to say this kind of thing so confidently." Very good, if you have such an awareness, I am relieved! Come, grab a bite to eat, change your outfit and get ready to head out! ”
