Shen Xianhe was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately reacted and rushed to the east with the people around him.

Sure enough, the fire in the eastern courtyard was huge.

And the place where the fire started, that was one of the firewood houses of the princess's mansion, and yesterday she ordered someone to detain a seat of Shen Junan's subordinates.

That Yun Niang, if it weren't for Steward Wang's other arrangements, she would have been locked up in this firewood room at that time.

Was this fire an accident, or was someone deliberate?

Shen Xianhe thought about it while ordering people to put out the fire.

The only thing that can only be rejoiced in is that the people imprisoned in the firewood room, because of today's Yun Niang incident, Shen Xianhe locked everyone in the secret room for interrogation in the morning.

I escaped this fire!

The fire spread very quickly, and the wind was strong at night, and even though all the people came to put out the fire with water, the speed of extinguishing the fire still could not keep up with the speed of fighting the fire.

However, due to the early detection of the fire, there were no casualties.

However, almost one-third of the huge princess's mansion was burned, and Shen Xianhe had no choice, so in the end, he could only take the people who could not settle in the mansion for the time being to go to the Dingguo Mansion to rest.

Dingguo Mansion is the mansion where Shen Xianhe's uncle Shen Junfeng lives, and the two mansions are separated by an alley.

However, this time, at night, except for the Dingguo Mansion, Shen Xianhe had nowhere else to rest.

was busy fighting fires all night, and in the second half of the night, Shen Xianhe really didn't have the energy to count the inventory work after the fire in the princess's mansion.

She slept in her uncle's room and did not wake up until the next morning.

It's just that Shen Xianhe never thought that a fire and the property damage of the princess's mansion were all trivial.

And Chen Han, who had been detained yesterday, took advantage of the chaos to escape......

In the palace.

Chu Xi looked at Huo Biao, who was standing in front of him with an unconvinced face, and his heart was filled with joy, but the expression on his face was serious.

"Huo Qing, I know that your mother suffered a lot of humiliation in the princess's mansion, but if you set fire to the princess's mansion in the future, I won't be able to continue to protect you. You have to remember that the Shen family and the eldest princess's mansion have deep roots in the barracks, if you really offend them this time, if you fight in the future, they will definitely try their best to hold you back. ”

Huo Biao smiled disappreciably, the expression on his face was still arrogant.

"The emperor is too worried, since the minister dares to set fire, he naturally won't let the other party seize the handle. Tell you about this matter, I hope you don't want to be partial to your aunt, you can rest assured, the Shen family and the eldest princess can't help the minister, as long as the emperor sends the minister to fight, the minister will definitely give you a beautiful victory and come back! ”

Huo Qing is so confident, I am very relieved. The old man of the Shen family, there is no news so far, if he really defects to the country of Basar, Huo Qing must go back and give me a morale-boosting victory to come back. ”

Two people, you praise me, I praise you, and time passes quickly.

When it was almost noon, Chu Xi still left Huo Biao to eat a Chinese meal, and then let Huo Biao leave.

And after Huo Biao left, Chu Xi finally looked at Gonggong Liang, who had been preparing to tell him about things.

"What the hell is going on, you've been talking for another morning this morning, and when are you going to spit it out now?"

"Your Majesty, it's the Queen Mother who has something to tell the minister, and the minister doesn't know how to speak."

Since the last time he was forced by his mother to beat Bai Lianrong, Chu Xi has been a little cold to his queen mother recently.

obviously knew that his mother was for himself, but Chu Xi just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

However, hearing the good news that the eldest princess's mansion was burned down today, Chu Xi's mood improved a lot, and he suddenly asked about what Liang Gonggong said.

"What did my queen mother order, while I was in a good mood now, hurry up!"

"The Queen Mother found a capable person from the people, she knew that the emperor had always wanted to train his secret guards, so she was ready to recommend this person to you, and the Queen Mother asked the slave to tell you, if you use it well, this person can definitely become your right-hand man."

"In that case, bring someone over to see me, I want to see what kind of capable person can be praised by the queen mother like this!"

When Huo Biao returned to his mansion, he did not rush to the courtyard where his mother lived, but went to his study.

In the study, a middle-aged man in a cyan cloth shirt was sitting upright, and when he saw Huo Biao coming in, he immediately stood up.

"General."

The middle-aged man shook his head, Huo Biao nodded, and then sat down in the first seat of the study.

"Although yesterday's plan was not successful, but fortunately, there was a fire at night, Mr. Wen, the emperor will always reuse me for the time being, what should we do next?"

"The emperor has always been jealous of the military power of the Shen family and the eldest princess, although the general is now trusted by the emperor, once the Shen family and the eldest princess are destroyed, the emperor will definitely deal with you, the general. Therefore, the Shen family and the eldest princess's mansion are enemies of the Huo Mansion, but they cannot be destroyed. ”

Huo Biao's always arrogant expression was calm at the moment, and he knocked on the wooden table in front of him with his hand, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified.

"The emperor is too narrow-minded, and he has no overall situation of right and wrong. Shen Junfeng's betrayal and leakage in the country of Basar is likely to be leaked by the emperor. In order to destroy the Shen family, the emperor would rather destroy the Great Wall by himself, I can't recognize it as the master, and I must think about the future. ”

"What the general said is reasonable, now that we are enemies with the Shen family and the eldest princess's mansion, the emperor should not do anything to the Huo family army for the time being in order to support you in dealing with the Shen family. However, it's always right to plan ahead. If necessary, if there is a need to change the lord of the world, the general needs to have this kind of courage—"

Huo Biao didn't nod this time, he was groaning.

However, before his thoughts could unfold, Huo Biao's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door outside.

"What's the matter?"

Huo Biao looked at the housekeeper in his house with a majestic expression.

"General, there is a young man kneeling outside in front of the gate of the General's Mansion, he claims that he is the sinner who caused the injury to the General's mother, and is kneeling outside the gate to ask the General to punish him!"

Could this be some new trick played by the eldest princess's mansion, or is it some means of revenge.

Huo Biao thought about the county lord who was not very old yesterday and had strange methods, and his face darkened slightly.

"Can someone come and report their identity?"

"General Hui, this person calls himself Meng Lansheng, a person from the suburbs of the capital."
