In the darkness of the night, the fire was extremely dazzling, and if it burned any bigger, it would soon attract the yacha who were searching everywhere.

"Extinguish the fire, quick!"

But the clay pot was a fierce fire oil, which could not be extinguished for a moment.

"Catch someone first."

The leader immediately commanded.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people in this courtyard, and when they calmed down a little, they immediately had a rule, and several figures immediately rushed outside.

Outside the courtyard, a man was holding two other clay pots in his arms, and his calculation was to wait for the moment when the fire burned before throwing the remaining clay pots out of his arms, the bigger the fire, so that the yamen and the patrol officers could notice this, his purpose was to attract the government, and he might be able to catch the person in charge of it while he was in chaos.

He did not go to the yamen to deliver the letter in advance, because he did not trust the officials of the imperial court.

He cautiously approached the courtyard, and lit the fire as soon as the people guarding the gate entered the courtyard, but the people in the courtyard were obviously quicker than he did, and in the blink of an eye an arrow came at him.

The man dodged, and the arrow grazed his face, taking away the cloth that covered his face, and the long scar on his chin was particularly clear in the moonlight.

He is Yan Si, and he is also the steward of the Song family's room, Xu Rui, he received the news sent to him by Prince Jian, and he should have left, but he didn't go.

It doesn't make any sense for him to find another place to live incognito, he can't run away like he did more than ten years ago, he has to do something he has to do.

He spent some time inquiring about the news, and asked people he knew to help keep an eye on the movements of the prison of the Criminal Department, just to help at this time, so that those who were hiding here could not escape.

Unfortunately, there were too many people inside and outside the courtyard, and he was so entangled that he couldn't get out for a while, the fire in the courtyard had been extinguished, but the two clay pots in his arms had not yet been thrown in.

If he had been quicker, he might have been able to achieve his goal.

If he wants to make a fire again, he has to get the fire fold, but now it is very difficult for him to protect himself, let alone catch the person in charge.

Xu Rui was forced to retreat to the side, if he threw down the oil in his hand now and turned to leave, he could still escape by the moonlight, and the slightest hesitation would fall into the hands of these people.

But he couldn't just leave, he had already caught the alarm, and if he didn't make some noise, these people would leave here quickly, and by the time the officers and soldiers on patrol noticed something was wrong, it would be too late.

Xu Rui gritted his teeth and reached out to split the clay pot in front of him, he wanted to light a fire on himself.

The clay pot shattered with a "snap", and the oil was immediately sprinkled on him, and those who gathered around him had obviously sensed his intentions, and their footsteps paused slightly.

Xu Rui took out the fire fold, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked forward step by step, he was not afraid of death, and death was also a relief.

His hand was on the fire, and he was about to pull it away.

At this moment, Xu Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and a ray of fire ignited again, this fire did not come from the fire fold in his hand, but on the wall not far away.

There was a man standing on the wall, he did not hide his deeds, he generously threw the torch in his hand into the courtyard, after throwing the torch, neatly threw three clay pots, squatted down to look at the situation, and then made up another jar, the movement was smooth, very skillful.

There was not only oil but also some livestock manure in the jar, and the smoke rose into the sky, and the yacha could find it even if he was looking for a smell.

"Come here, your grandfather is here."

When the man had finished setting the fire, he cried out loudly, as if he were afraid that the people would not notice him.

Xu Rui was stunned, he secretly came to set the fire, but this man was so rampant that he was even suspected of scratching his head and posing...... After seeing it, people were furious, and sure enough, those people abandoned him and ran away to the man.

Who is that man? It seemed to know what he was going to do, and not only that, but also guessed that he wouldn't be going well, so he took these things to help.

Xu Rui was a little happy but a little afraid, he couldn't distinguish friend or foe in the dark, and he didn't know the intentions of those people, he had a retreat in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to help.

"When you meet the master, you can't escape."

There was a bit of heroism in his hearty voice, and Xu Rui listened like a fire burning in the yard, and the blood all over his body burned.

"Steward, I'm afraid we've been targeted for a long time."

Cui Zhao looked at the fire in the courtyard, his heart gradually sank, he was already very careful, he had been hiding in the dark, staring at the movement of the criminal department, even if the criminal department found the clue, he could only find out the history of the official order, he didn't believe that anyone could detect his existence smartly, Huijing had already attracted their attention, and they were powerless to pay attention to anything else.

Even if he accidentally leaves a trail, he can leave with someone, and he has enough men for the dead to make a way for him.

Those people seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and came straight to him, judging by the situation in front of them, they might have made careful arrangements before this, and knew everything in advance.

These people were more difficult to deal with than he thought, and those dead soldiers were helpless for a while, and the tone of the man's voice was quite like the gentleman of An Yihou's family.

Cui Zhao sensed the danger for the first time, and he took the initiative to ask for help to solve Huijing, and Huijing was not only alive, but he also had a high chance of falling into it.

"Steward, go from here."

Finally, as if to get out of the way, Cui Zhao was escorted to the outside, and after walking out of the alley, the dead man found two horses, and Cui Zhao immediately turned over and rode on.

In the darkness they drove their horses forward, and as long as they left here and hid, they could get through the difficulties in front of them.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the courtyard, Cui Zhao's beating heart gradually stabilized.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves was particularly pleasant in the dark, and someone caught up, and the dead soldiers around him immediately went to deal with it, and finally there was no one behind him.

Cui Zhao was about to change direction, he knew that there was a secluded place in the mountains and forests west of the city, so he led people there and hid in Zhuangzi.

Thinking like this in his heart, Cui Zhao pulled the reins, but the horse under his crotch did not listen to him, but continued to run forward.

Cui Zhao frowned, he had already discovered an anomaly, a beast that had long been tamed would obey people's orders, unless...... The beast had been specially domesticated and could only do what its master wanted, and no one else could control it.

It didn't seem to be the horse they had put there, it was tall and strong, not an ordinary breed, and only such a horse could obey the complicated orders of its master.

Cui Zhao was already about to escape from the horse, but found that his feet could not be withdrawn from the stirrups no matter what, and he was anxious, when he heard a whistle, and the horse immediately stopped.

Cui Zhao looked around in a panic, the doors on both sides opened, and someone walked out with a torch.

The person who is the leader, Cui Zhao, knows that it is the king of Shunyang County.

The King of Shunyang County glanced at Cui Zhao, then turned to look at King Cheng and the others who were slowly walking out behind him: "Do you recognize him?" ”
