Chapter 101: The Benefits of Being Weak
The Governor's Mansion of Tiannan Province is far away from Kongsang Mountain, so far that even the flying pigeon has to change the pigeon three times halfway.
At this time, it was already in the middle of the day, but the sky was a little dark, mainly because the smoke was so thick that it stained half of the sky gray. The Governor's Mansion of Tiannan Province is not only the place where Governor He Tianhua lives, but also the administrative center of the entire Tiannan Province.
What was once the most palatial place is now in ruins.
The entire palace complex, not even the palm-sized wood remained. Not only that, even He Tianhua, the governor of Tiannan Province, was seriously injured in this fire, and nearly one-third of his skin was severely burned.
The fire came too suddenly, and spread too quickly. There were already thousands of large water tanks in the Governor's Palace, which were specially designed to deal with fires. But no one expected that those flames seemed to have spirituality, as long as the wood was almost stained, they would burn brightly, and the varnish on the surface that set fire to prevent insects had no effect.
These flames can drill into the wood grain, and then burn inside and out, and even the charcoal can't be burned, and it is directly burned to ashes.
This kind of flame was so terrifying that even the masters of the Returning Realm couldn't react, and when he rushed into the fire to rescue Governor He Tianhua, half of his body was already touching.
It was not enough to tear off the clothes, directly tear off half of the human skin, and then soak it in the water tank, which extinguished the terrible flame on the body. But after such a toss, half of He Tianhua's life was gone.
In the midst of this fire, countless people saw that demon beast that was as black as ink. This demon beast was like a black wolf magnified tenfold, with that terrible flame burning on its limbs and tail, and a large area of the palace turned into a sea of fire between the swallows.
In this case, no matter how high the martial arts are, they will not dare to fight this demon beast in the sea of fire, so they can only flee, and the farther away the better.
The Doge's Palace burned all night, and the fire was not extinguished until dawn, and it was extinguished very quickly. After those crazy flames burned the entire Governor's Mansion to ruins, it was swallowed up by the demon beast.
The monster's originally streamlined body instantly turned into a round appearance of being pregnant, and then ran away in a bouncy. When he ran away, he kept hiccups, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a ten-zhang long flame.
It looked very funny, but no one dared to intercept it, not even attack from afar. That round belly contained a fire in the entire Governor's Palace, and if it hurt this demon beast, the belly would burst open...... Hehe, the master of returning to the virtual realm is also a human being, and he generally does not do things like death.
Just watched this demon beast leave, and the surviving people could only report the matter to the imperial court, and at the same time began to pretend to issue a reward order to catch the murderer. At this time, all the staff of the Imperial Sword Gate had already run out of a hundred miles and walked in the direction of the capital.
Touching the fat circle of Wangcai, Xu Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What's going on with this dog, it has obviously grown into the size of a big black dog before, and after eating the fire in the Governor's Palace, it has become a little milk dog again, but it is so fat that it has become a meat ball, and its stomach is a little mopped when he walks.
was pinching the back of Wangcai's fleshy neck, but he heard Squirrel Hang ask: "Master, why do we have to wait until last night to set the fire, the second prince is afraid that they have already walked out of Tiannan Province, and we have to chase for half a month to catch up." ”
In fact, three days ago, the people of the Imperial Sword Gate had already come to the vicinity of the Governor's Palace, but Xu Lin waited until last night to let Wangcai set the fire.
Hearing Squirrel Hang's question at this time, Xu Lin sighed in his heart: My stupid apprentice, why do you want to catch up?
Xu Linke remembered very well that the purpose of their going out this time was to avoid Yin Honglian...... No, it's to find the lost treasure trove.
However, this reason is not easy to say directly, but fortunately, Xu Lin has already prepared another reason.
"Do you know what the burning of the Doge's Palace represents?" Xu Lin asked rhetorically.
Squirrel Hang thought for a moment, and then said, "On behalf of us, we want to rebel?" ”
Xu Lin almost choked to death by his own saliva, this apprentice really dares to say anything! Do you know how awesome the Dawu Dynasty is, there are only a few people in the Imperial Sword Gate, so you dare to say that you have rebelled?
Looking at the few disciples around him, they didn't seem to be surprised by what Squirrel Hang had just said, and even their eyes lit up, revealing an excited expression.
This group of players is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!
Xu Lin had to explain: "There is a set of unspoken rules between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, such as the governor's mansion, the people of the rivers and lakes cannot touch it, otherwise they will definitely be wanted by the imperial court." We can't afford this consequence, let alone rebel, and we will be crushed to death in less than a month. ”
"Then we have achieved this level for the second prince, isn't it a loss?" The Dou Emperor powerhouse asked in horror.
This time, without Xu Lin answering, Huangfu Tie Niu interjected and said, "We burned the Governor's Palace, not just for the second prince, right?" Isn't Master's goal to dominate Kongsang Mountain and become the number one sect of the Martial Alliance? Although these words were said, the entire Kongsang Mountain people felt that it was bragging and daydreaming. ”
Xu Lin looked at Huangfu Tie Niu and wanted to say to him: You are very smart, but the last sentence can actually be omitted.
Among the disciples of the Imperial Sword Gate, Squirrel Hang always had a dead temperament, so that Xu Lin, who was a master, couldn't help but want to stab him; Xiaoqiang is the kind of diligent and conscientious character, who can do everything he is told to do properly; Cuihua and Zhaodi, girls, it's enough to be cute, Xu Lin doesn't have any requirements for them.
Among these disciples, Huangfu Tie Niu is the smartest one, in addition to the habitual poisonous tongue, it can be said that he is bold and careful, this time he can easily solve the ambush of the Governor's Palace, Tie Niu can be said to be a great contribution.
It's just that Xu Lin couldn't figure out how he mixed up with the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion and was not discovered. This is probably the player's ability, Xu Lin feels that his understanding of this group is only the tip of the iceberg.
"We waited here for three days, in fact, we were waiting for the people of the Kongsang sect to give us a cushion. The Kongsang faction's fangs of scourge have become famous, and now everyone knows that the Kongsang faction has raised two scourges, and if I let Wangcai set fire to it with great fanfare at this time, the Kongsang faction will have to carry this pot on my back. Xu Lin explained.
"However, the people of the Governor's Mansion are not stupid, and they know that this is a blame when they think about it."
Although Squirrel Hang likes to die, he still has the ability to think independently.
The people of the Imperial Sword Gate have already participated in the seizure incident, and they have also exposed their wealth in front of the people in the Governor's Palace.
"It's indeed a blame, but even if you jump out and turn yourself in now, the Governor's Mansion will ignore you, and will continue to find trouble for the empty Sang faction." Xu Lin said with great certainty.
"Why? The people in the Doge's Mansion are not stupid. "Squirrel Hang really can't figure it out.
"Because our Imperial Sword Gate is too weak, too weak to afford to burn down the Governor's Palace. Even if the evidence is ironclad, the people in the Governor's Palace cannot admit it. This fire can only be set by the Kongsang sect, and it must be set by them. Xu Lin sneered.
