The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the red sleeves were bent on her calves, leaning on a thick branch, and the ground in the mountains and forests was too humid at night, so she climbed up the tree.

At the foot of the mountain, the camp of the Yulin Guards encloses the whole peak impermeably, looking down from above, the campfire in the barracks is like a long snake connected to each other, and a team of soldiers patrolling the night can be clearly seen in the firelight.

But night is night, and there are always things that cannot be seen in the light, just right for the night to be done.

In the dark night, the figure flickered, and the five black-clothed masked men quietly broke through the night patrol soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and sneakily touched the mountain forest halfway up the mountain.

The five men scattered in the forest, and one after another untied a bag from their waists, the bag was not large, and it contained a clay pot the size of a human head.

I saw that the five people simply threw the clay pot to the ground, and the clay pot shattered, and a pungent liquid burst out of the jar.

As soon as the clay pot shattered, one of the men in black immediately gestured, and then the five began to evacuate.

The man in black who gestured was the last, and when everyone else had walked some distance, he took out two flints from his bosom, crouched down, and with a bang, a spark flew out and fell to the ground......

On the treetops, Red Sleeves felt the biting cold of the west wind, and suddenly frowned, she snorted, and seemed to smell some special smell.

Suddenly, Red Sleeves suddenly stood up from the treetops and looked down the mountain, a little crimson lotus slowly bloomed halfway up the mountain, and her face suddenly turned blue!

In the line at the foot of the mountain, the Empress Dowager Zhao was lying on the brocade bed, she had just dismissed the hundred officials who came to greet her, and what happened today made her physically and mentally exhausted, and recalled that there was still a sense of the aftermath of her life.

Faintly, there was a commotion outside the big tent, which made the sleepy Empress Dowager Zhao feel irritable, she frowned, summoned the female official to serve, and asked with an angry face, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"Back to the Queen Mother's words......" The female official lowered her head and replied cautiously, "The slave maid heard that it seems that there is a fire on the mountain......"

"What!" When Empress Dowager Zhao heard this, her heart trembled suddenly, and her sleepiness disappeared, she only felt her head buzzing, and it took a while to react, "Quick!

When the Empress Dowager Zhao got dressed and walked out of the big tent, the fire on the mountain had already illuminated the entire sky, and the firelight shone on the face of the Empress Dowager Zhao from afar, flickering uncertainly.

"How can this be?" Empress Dowager Zhao muttered to herself with a distracted expression.

The fire on the mountain was ignited from the west, and the Empress Dowager Zhao knew that the fire was using the west wind, and it would be impossible to extinguish it even if tens of thousands of soldiers under the mountain all entered the mountain!

Why did a fire suddenly break out on this western mountain? And it burned from the west!

After a period of distraction, Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly realized something, and asked Gao Xi beside her, "Where is Prime Minister Huang Ping?"

"Queen Mother, the old minister is here. Before Empress Dowager Zhao's words were finished, Huang Ping's response came from not far away, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Huang Ping!" After Empress Dowager Zhao heard the response, she turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Huang Ping standing not far away, and then she stared at her and shouted angrily, "Bold Huang Ping!

"I don't know. A low and powerful voice spit out in Huang Ping's mouth, he did not panic at all because of Empress Dowager Zhao's questioning, his back was to the mountain fire, Huang Ping's face was unwavering.

"You...... You...... You are killing the king!" Empress Dowager Zhao's chest rose and fell, and she could already see from Huang Ping's answer that her guess was correct, the fire on the mountain was indeed put by Huang Ping!

"Why did the Queen Mother say this?" Huang Ping's voice was still unhurried, as if the sky was falling and he wouldn't blink his eyes.

"Don't pretend to be garlic! Huang Ping! Do you think the mourning family doesn't know, the fire on this mountain must have been set by you!" Empress Dowager Zhao angrily reprimanded, "You are guilty of killing the king! The mourning family wants to punish your nine clans!"

"Queen Mother......" Huang Ping sighed and said, "You should know very well that if the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of traitors, we will never have a place to turn over!"

"So what? That's why you've done such a rebellious thing!" Empress Dowager Zhao scolded by pointing at Huang Ping's nose.

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, this mountain fire is a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with the old minister. Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Huang Ping said coldly.

"Bold! Dare to quibble!" Empress Dowager Zhao glared at her and shouted angrily, "Come on! Take down this traitor to the mourning family!"

After Empress Dowager Zhao's words fell, no one around responded for a long time, her face turned pale, as if she realized something, and looked towards Gao Xi, sure enough, Gao Xi lowered his head in shame in the face of her gaze.

By the light of the fire, Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes saw Gao Yan from behind Huang Ping, the general of Yulin who had been pulled up by himself, was standing behind Huang Ping like a servant at this time!

"Troublesome ministers and thieves!" Empress Dowager Zhao trembled and pointed at the people in front of her, but in the end, she could only retreat into the big tent with a pale face......

On the top of the mountains and forests, Shi Qingyi and others stood on the top of the peak, looking at the menacing fire.

"Is this retribution? Think about the fact that yesterday we burned most of the Jingshi with the help of the west wind, but now we are going to die under this mountain fire?"

"Mr. Jiang, when has this happened?Are you still talking about cool things?" Hearing Jiang Zixian's self-deprecation, Shi Yuezhu suddenly shouted anxiously, "Father said that you have great talent, can you come up with a way out now?"

"Shi Gong praised it falsely, he really can't be called a great talent in Xia, this way to get out of it, I can't think of it in Xia, but ......" Jiang Zixian's tone changed, and he said with a smile, "Presumably Shi Gongzi should be confident." ”

"Tsing Yi?" Hearing Jiang Zixian's answer, Shi Mu and Shi Yuezhu immediately looked at Shi Qingyi, who was standing silent.

Shi Qingyi felt everyone's gaze, just looked up at the sky that was half illuminated by the mountain fire, and then said lightly-

"It's going to rain, let's find a place to hide. ”

It's going to rain? Red Sleeves looked at the stars in the sky, and the bright crescent moon, with a puzzled face, now that it's winter, why is it still raining?

Seeing that the mountain fire was about to spread, Red Sleeves was the least nervous, because she was confident that with her own ability, she would be able to escape with her uncle even if the fire burned!

However, seeing that Uncle Shi looks like he is holding a wisdom bead now, he shouldn't have to run away desperately?

Watching Jiang Zixian turn around and leave, although everyone was puzzled, they were inexplicably relieved, so they followed.
