Chapter 178: The Fire Rises
"The wind is blowing!"
The same words came out of the mouth of another person, this person was also lurking on the roof of a certain house outside Donggao Academy, but this person was not dressed in black, but dressed as a scholar, and he was not alone, there was also a person sitting cross-legged next to him, this person was munching on a chicken leg, while gnawing on the chicken leg, while pouring wine into his mouth, yes, it was pouring, not drinking, pouring it into his mouth like pouring water.

The man poured wine into his mouth and muttered: "I said Lao Bai, you are not a thing, and the old dog is not a thing, if it weren't for this little guy to rebel, my old bag would not have come to do this hurtful thing with you!"
This man who calls himself Lao Bao is Bao Tianqing, one of the four famous catchers named after Bai Hongru, this person has a strong sense of justice, loves to manage injustice, and is extremely fair in his affairs, and the people in the rivers and lakes praise him.
Bai Hongru, who was standing in a white robe in the courtyard and was looking up to admire the moon, smiled bitterly and said: "I said Lao Bao, if you want to scold the old dog, scold it, don't drag me in, I, Bai Hongru, walk the rivers and lakes, although I love Iono's tricks, but I haven't done anything angry and resentful!" ”
Bao Tianqing snorted and said, "You think I don't know what you did?" I just don't have proof, and if there is, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me? ”
Bai Hongru really couldn't stand this person, so he waved his hand and got up and said: "Okay, okay, you are the best person in the world, I am the number one bad person in the world, okay, it's time to work!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Hongru lifted his strength, his figure soared into the air, and disappeared into the courtyard in an instant, and on the roof, except for a black-clothed man lying on the green tile, Bao Tianqing disappeared without knowing the right time.
Cuckoo!!! Cuckoo!!!
Two cuckoo calls sounded in the night sky, and the pair of night guards who were roasting the fire, the leader looked up at the sky suspiciously: "It's the middle of the night, it's still this month, why is there still this bird?" ”
As soon as the leader of the squad finished speaking, he saw a person beside him: "Boss, you also take care of the bird, maybe people can't sleep in the middle of the night and come out to play with the mother bird?" ”
When the words fell, they immediately burst into laughter, but these people did not dare to laugh too loudly, as if they were afraid of being heard by the other night guards.
Before the laughter was over, someone said a few more words, and the laughter immediately became a little louder, but under the cover of this laughter, several soldiers on duty at night had already grasped the blades in their hands.
When the soldiers held their weapons one after another, the leading squad leader suddenly stretched his waist, and then glanced left and right in a daze, and then took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, opened the oily paper bag, and a smell of grilled chicken immediately wafted in the air.
Several soldiers widened their eyes, and unconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and the soldier closest to the squad leader swallowed his saliva and said, "Captain, where did you come from?"
"Kitchen steal!" After saying this, the team leader lowered his voice again and said, "Whoever wants to say it, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!" ”
"Let's divide it!" After saying this, the team leader took the lead in pulling a chicken leg: "Lao Tzu taste it first!" ”
If someone looks close at this time, they will find that the captain is tearing off the chicken leg at the same time, and he also takes a black pill from the side, and everyone else also takes one when they tear the chicken.
Not long after, a grilled chicken was eaten by the team of soldiers on duty at night, and when several soldiers were licking their lips and snickering, the team leader suddenly snorted and said, "Alas, why am I so sleepy? I can't even open my eyelids! ”
"I'm so sleepy, what's wrong!"
"yes, I want to sleep too, and I can't open my eyes!"
After about half a moment, a man in black quietly came out of the forest, came to the side of these soldiers, observed it, and then boldly kicked the leading team leader, but the team leader was unconscious as if he had fallen asleep.
The man in black snorted disdainfully, turned and disappeared into the darkness......
……
"It's water, it's water, come and put out the fire!"
"Oh no, the kitchen in the west courtyard is running out of water, quickly find a bucket to put out the fire!"
"Come on, people, go to the water!"
"Fight the fire!"
"It's going to burn to the East Courtyard! The lord is in the East Courtyard! ”
"Protect your lord, don't let the fire burn!"
"Protecting the Lord's ......"
“……”
At the darkest moment before dawn, a sky-high fire suddenly broke out in Donggao Academy, and both those who were sleeping and on night duty had already joined the firefighting army at this time, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
The firefighter shouted while carrying a bucket that the lord was protecting the lord in the east courtyard, although the fire was big, but it was actually controlled by these people in the west courtyard, and a house just across the wall from the west courtyard was not ignited, which is also a miracle.
More and more people poured into the firefighting army in the west courtyard, and the east courtyard became deserted for a while, and there was no one in sight for a long time.
But at this moment, suddenly a vague shadow swept in, and when the dawn was approaching, this vague shadow could hardly have been detected if it had not been looked at very carefully.
The shadow did not rush to move after landing, but stood still for a while, and after finding that no one was moving, the shadow slowly moved, he first walked around the courtyard, and after making sure that most of the people in the room had gone out to put out the fire and no one was left, he slowly approached the room where the light seeped out.
The shadow had not approached the room before it stopped, as the voices of several people talking could be heard in the room.
"This fire is so big, it can't be a fire, someone definitely set it on purpose!"
"Yes, lord, you can't hesitate, let's go quickly, what if someone really comes to assassinate you?"
"Lord, Lao Xu is right, now the lord is only with our personal guards, the second master and the old man Wei are both leading the troops outside, even if the division commander Zhou Yun is also outside, these people in our personal guard camp alone can't protect the lord at all! Let's move quickly! ”
Suddenly, a chuckle sounded, which seemed to be Liu Zheng's humanity: "What are you afraid of, what can you do to me?" The last time they succeeded, it was because I was alone, and now this is our base camp, it's good if they don't come, if they dare to come, they will have no return! ”
"Oh, lord, don't underestimate them, even the second master and the old man Wei have said, the people of the six doors are very tight, and we have only been practicing the formation for a few days, and we are not proficient, how can we resist those old monsters!"
"Lord, my subordinates have offended, the second master has instructed, if you are in danger and do not retreat, we have the right to kidnap you!"
"Bold, what do you want to do, I, Liu Zheng, am the chosen one, destined to ascend the throne as the emperor, you dare to be rude to me, stop, let me go, what are you going to do, I want to punish you nine clans, I ...... Woohoo......"
After a while, I saw a few people dressed as guards walking out carrying a person who was gagged with a cloth and kept struggling.
The person hiding in the dark saw this scene very clearly, and seeing that these people were going to take Liu Zheng away, this person was a little anxious, picked up a stone next to him and threw it out to one of them.
When the stone hit the heart guard on the chest of one of the people's armor, there was a crisp sound, and the person carrying Liu Zheng immediately put down Liu Zheng and pulled out the waist knife at a very fast speed.
"What people!"
"Come out for me!"
"Who is it, don't hide, I've already seen you!"
No one answered, but the rooster crowed!!
The crowing of the rooster did not make the people who protected Liu Zheng let down their vigilance, but became more and more vigilant.
After only a few breaths, there was a sudden sound of rustling when the clothes were broken through the air, and the guards who protected Liu Zheng had already understood at this time, and immediately some people wanted to shout that the enemy was attacking, but before those people could open their mouths, they heard a few soft pops, and several hidden weapons appeared on the throats of the guards extremely strangely.
"Woo~~~"
Blood trickled down the corners of his mouth, and several of the guards only had time to let out a few whines before they lay to the ground.
Liu Zheng, who was protected in the crowd, was taken aback, reached out and pulled down the cloth stuffed in his mouth, and shouted: "What kind of person, dare to attack General Ben!" Aren't you afraid that the general will kill your nine clans! ”
Several guards who were protecting Liu Zheng also shouted at this time: "Come on, someone will assassinate the lord!" ”
"There are assassins, protect the lord!"
"Protect the lord!"
Just as the guards were shouting, a few chuckles suddenly sounded, followed by dozens of figures emerging from the darkness.
These people, all dressed in black, covered their faces, and only a pair of eyeshadow with a playful glint was exposed.
One of the black-clothed men who let out a chuckle took a few steps forward and said, "I'm so scared, you quickly call someone to kill my nine clans, hahaha!" ”
"Bold, who are you!" Liu Zheng yelled angrily at the man in black.
The man in black smiled disdainfully and said, "Haha, who is it?" Can't you guess? ”
As soon as the words fell, another man in black answered: "Of course the people who came to kill you!" ”
Liu Zheng angrily stretched out his hand and pointed: "Bold dog thief, if you dare to assassinate me, aren't you afraid that my soldiers will break your corpses into thousands of pieces?" Come on, give me someone, cut down all these dog thieves! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a white-clothed scribe fall into the courtyard lightly, and as soon as the man fell, he said: "Enough, Liu Zheng, I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for a few days, you have become like this, you really disappointed me as an uncle!" Don't you understand it now? Your people are no longer able to save you, they have been poisoned by me, and they must be buried in the fire at this time! ”
Liu Zheng looked at the person who came, and retreated again and again in surprise: "You, it's you, it's you, Bai Hongru, you, what are you going to do, you, are you here to kill me?" ”
