When Hua Xiong's voice appeared, the palace maid and the Empress Dowager Dong, who were hiding in the utility room, only heard a vague voice, and they couldn't hear it clearly. They can only know that there should be a thief talking outside, and it is not clear what they are talking about.

Hua Xiong looked at the rooms in the pavilion and looked around, there was no movement he saw, only his cavalry who came out of the room after the search.

This made him a little embarrassed, burning down the pavilion? Hua Xiong is not just talking, he really did it, anyway, it doesn't need to be burned, as long as the Empress Dowager Dong is still hiding in a corner of the pavilion, it would be good for her to see the smoke.

The female streamers, and the kind of noble people, must be very afraid of death. When you see the smoke and know that the fire outside is already burning, how can you still hide?

It's impossible, it's Hua Xiong himself, if he knew that he would be burned alive by fire. No matter if he comes out, he will also come out, at least, he can still kill a few more enemies in the fight, and the death is worth it.

Because instead of dying in the fire, one of the most cruel ways to die, it would be a kind of happiness to really die under the sword.

After muttering for a long time, Hua Xiong raised his hand, and was about to give another order, asking his cavalry to collect some fire-burning things, and then light them in the courtyard of the pavilion. With the current wind, the smoke will drift directly into the rooms of the pavilion, naturally creating the illusion that the pavilion is about to be swallowed by flames.

Hua Xiong's words came to his mouth, and when he spit it out, it became completely different words from what he thought in his heart, "Shout out for me, and let the people hiding inside come out by themselves, otherwise I will burn down the pavilion." ”

The cavalrymen next to them were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, they all took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened their mouths wide.

"The people inside come out by themselves, otherwise we will burn the pavilion to the ground!"

This time, the palace maid and Empress Dowager Dong who were hiding in the utility room finally heard clearly, but they would rather not hear it clearly, and would rather this sentence never appear. Because once the pavilion is burned, they hide here, and they can only be burned alive at that time.

"What should I do?" Empress Dowager Dong opened her mouth and said word by word, just lip provoking and not making a sound.

The thief in the utility room was still rummaging, and if she spoke out at this time, no matter how small her voice was, it might be heard. Therefore, Empress Dowager Dong didn't dare to make a single voice, for fear of being discovered.

The palace maid saw what the Empress Dowager Dong said clearly, she grabbed the hand of the Empress Dowager Dong, and nodded solemnly, indicating that she heard clearly. She shook her head and opened her mouth, but she didn't speak, and she made a lip shape.

"No, I can't go out now, because I don't know if the thieves will burn the inn. Once a fire breaks out, people from miles away can see it clearly, so it is impossible for them to leave silently if they do this. ”

Empress Dowager Dong looked at the palace maid's mouth carefully, and barely understood the meaning expressed by the palace maid. After the initial panic and fear, Empress Dowager Dong also regained some calm at this moment, unlike at the beginning, even thinking was a reluctant action.

When she thought about it, it was indeed the case. Why do these thieves shout out to let them know when they burn the pavilion?

It is very likely that these thieves are for her!

Empress Dowager Dong is very old, but she is not like those old people who are already dying and have half a foot in the coffin, and they can't even think anymore. When she was completely calm and returned to her normal state, she immediately realized that everything was wrong.

These thieves can't be for money!

Because if it was an ordinary thief, after the pavilion was ransacked, he would have already left. If you want to burn the pavilion and erase all the traces, you won't be able to speak at all, you will only burn it directly!

If you look at it even bigger, what kind of thief would do something to a place like the pavilion? If it is an ordinary thief, he rarely dares to do anything to the institutions under the rule of the government, and he will definitely be tracked down by the government afterwards!

These thieves seem to know everything, know who lives in the inn, and know her identity! Therefore, they came to attack the pavilion, not for money, not for any other reason, only for her!

The search of all the thieves shows that this is exactly what they are searching for. Obviously, if it is not property, but property, there is no need to scrape the ground to search for it. The only way to find her is to find someone, among those who are hiding.

Empress Dowager Dong knew that there must be people like her, hiding in a certain corner and not being discovered by thieves. However, these eunuchs and palace maids, what is the value of letting these thieves do such a big thing?

No! Nope! Yes, only her, she is the most noble in this line of driving, if it were not for her, the car would not have gone out of the city at all, would not have come to this place, and would not have been accompanied by palace maids and eunuchs!

Ho ?!!!

Empress Dowager Dong subconsciously became more sure that all this was most likely planned by the He family! However, she was shocked by He's audacity and ruthlessness.

He dared to do such a thing, if the news of her assassination spread, what would the people of the world, those important ministers in the court, think? The Queen Mother's car was attacked, and the Queen Mother didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and all of this stemmed from the Queen Mother's somewhat bizarre sudden return to her hometown!

Hua Xiong waited quietly, did not move, and waved his hand again. The cavalry, which had lined up neatly in the courtyard, shouted again.

Finally, a figure appeared in the room, and a figure walked out. Hua Xiong didn't see clearly, only saw a cavalry searching next to him running over and bringing people down.

After seeing clearly who the person who appeared, Hua Xiong was a little disappointed. Palace maids, or palace maids, one or two, are all palace maids, judging by their clothes and appearances, they are not Empress Dowager Dong.

Hua Xiong is impatient, if Empress Dowager Dong really doesn't appear again, then he will really consider some more drastic means. Li Ru had an explanation before he left. As long as it doesn't hurt the Empress Dowager Dong, if there is any emergency, let him watch and handle it himself.

Therefore, it is still possible to light a pile of firewood in the courtyard and release some smoke to Huaxiong.

At the same time, there is another explanation, that is, in the end, it is not necessary to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. If Huaxiong couldn't find Empress Dowager Dong now, he would really burn down the pavilion directly, and then deliberately leak some facts that they were Empress He's people, and then accidentally let a few palace maids escape, and happened to meet Dong Zhuo, the Zhonglang general who was outside.

It's all a coincidence, isn't it?

Although Hua Xiong didn't know why Li Ru's plan was so different, from having to find it, to the back, the last one could make the Empress Dowager Dong die. Although I don't know why this is the case, Hua Xiong knows a little, just do it, anyway, Li Ru asked him to do it, and it was Li Ru's fault that something happened in the end.

The lord knows very well what kind of person he Huaxiong is, and knows that he will not do it for no reason.

While the cavalry outside was shouting, there were also people in the room inside who were hesitating to go out. This is a eunuch who was lucky enough to avoid the search of the Liangzhou cavalry and successfully survived.

The thought of going out only appeared in his mind for a moment, and he stopped thinking about it. When he was just hiding, he had also seen the killing of his companions and other eunuchs.

It is not difficult to see from the extremely decisive actions of those thieves that they are all decisive in killing the eunuchs? Just now, he was bold, and after the thieves in the room left, he secretly leaned to the window to peek, and after seeing that all the palace maids in the courtyard below were arrested, he took this idea even more seriously.

If you go out, you will die, those palace maids have nothing to do, but he will definitely die!

It's not just gut feeling, it's fact.

Empress Dowager Dong, who was hiding in the utility room, was still hesitating, and she could hear the impatience mixed in those voices. Obviously, they couldn't help but get their hands dirty.

Do you want to go out?

Empress Dowager Dong is still struggling with this option, if she goes out is death, if she stays here, she also dies, there seems to be nothing to choose. Because no matter which choice it is, it will be exactly the same ending, and it will die the same.

Die?

When thinking of this word, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but feel the most fearful emotion in her heart. When death is not what you think, but it is really possible, she finds that the previous calmness and other emotions have completely disappeared, leaving only the fear of death itself.

The palace maid beside her sensed that something was wrong with Empress Dowager Dong now, but she really had no way to persuade her. Even she didn't know what to do now, at the beginning, she could hide here with the Queen Mother, which was the only thing she did at that time that was worth affirming.

Now tell her to decide, what to decide, how to decide? A mistake, it's not just her who died, but also the Queen Mother! Therefore, now this palace maid is also the master of the six gods, and I don't know what to do.

"Mer. Let's go out. Empress Dowager Dong said softly on the side.

"Get out? This, the Empress Dowager..."The palace maid was stunned for a while, and she didn't know why Empress Dowager Dong made such a decision at this time.

"yes, get out." Empress Dowager Dong repeated again.

She hadn't thought it through just now, but now it was different, and after thinking about it again, she suddenly realized that it was very likely that these people were not the people sent by the He clan to attack and kill her. If it was someone sent by the He family, killing her was actually a very simple matter, and she had already set fire to the pavilion, so she wouldn't be so grinding.

She could have gambled that these thieves didn't actually have the will to kill her!
