"This fire is probably caused by Jiang Yiqing, I want to see what moth he can make. Dai Jianghe looked at the raging fire around him, and he was not as flustered as the people outside, but as calm as Gu Ling. Gu Ling was holding a girl in her hand, the girl looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was in the mood for love.

However, her face was not as calm as Gu Ling's, looking at the fire outside, and even the temperature was invading this higher village, like a frightened deer, she hurriedly hid behind Gu Ling's sturdy body.

"Wait for Uncle Gu to take you out of here, before that, you have to listen to me, you know?" Gu Ling put his hands on the girl's shoulders and said gently. The girl looked at Gu Ling's eyes with big eyes, hummed in a low voice, and was picked up by him.

Seeing this, Dai Jianghe hurriedly asked everyone else to retreat to the back mountain, and let it burn here, so he rushed out of the fire with Gu Ling.

In a relatively wide meadow, there stood a man and a woman, the man held a spear in his hand, the spear was bright white and sharp, and the woman held a long sword in her hand, and the long sword was attached to the inside of her arm. Looking at the fire in the distance, his face was extremely frozen.

"Let's go!" the man snorted, and his figure flashed and jumped down, followed by the woman, and in just a few breaths, the two were already submerged in the flames.

The fire didn't seem to recede, and the loud noise just now also shook Zheng Fang's side, making Zheng Feng and Fei Xuan always worry about what would happen in their hearts, while Hong Mingtian already felt that in this small village called "Shiren Township".

The buildings in the village are very simple, and even most of them are still houses built with loess, even so, the fire still spread to the entire village, Hong Mingtian can vaguely see the corpses of several villagers being burned black, at this time the shouts of people have gradually decreased, if not all burned to death, then, should have been transferred.

"Damn, where will Mr. Jiang be?" The scorching wave of air slowed down Hong Mingtian's speed a little, and he looked around, there were only flames here, and there was no living object in sight. He just guessed that Jiang Yiqing would appear here, but after all, this was just a conjecture, and no one could be 100% like a god.

Not knowing what to do next, Hong Mingtian had no choice but to retreat and hide by the river, which was two or three hundred meters away from the raging fire, and close to the water source, so the fire could not be approached no matter what. Now in this situation, we can only wait for the fire to go out and then look for any clues about Jiang Yiqing.

"If you want to extinguish this fire, why will it take one night, right? If it is delayed like this, I might as well go back to the inn and wait for Mr. Jiang to come back." Hong Mingtian sighed first, his current strength was limited and he could not participate in the firefighting operation, but just when he wanted to turn around and walk back, the turning point happened.

Under the illumination of the strong firelight, Hong Mingtian could clearly see that it was a group of people, supporting each other, there were tall, short, fat and thin in the crowd, but most of them couldn't get rid of the embarrassed appearance, if they didn't guess wrong, they should be the villagers of this small village, and they could just take this opportunity to ask them about Jiang Yiqing.

Flying over, Hong Mingtian found a fairly normal middle-aged man, this middle-aged man had some burns on his face and body, but these were not major problems, his body was as short as a plank, and even Hong Mingtian was a head taller than him.

"This big brother, have you ever seen a man who is wearing a few patches but his aura is completely different from that of ordinary people?" Hong Mingtian didn't know how to describe Jiang Yiqing's appearance, after all, he couldn't see his face during dinner today.

The middle-aged man only sighed, shook his head, and signaled that he didn't want to speak. This made Hong Mingtian feel very helpless, so he had to interrogate them one by one. But when interrogating a person who was dressed more decently, his words made Hong Mingtian fall into deep thought.

"Don't do so much! Who still looks at any strange man outside at night, go away, don't stop us from going to Qingshui Mountain!"

Hong Mingtian pondered, although it was a bit stupid for him to ask like this, but the information this person gave him had some weight, "Qingshui Mountain, what are you doing there?" Hong Mingtian then asked.

"The refuge point set up by the Tianji Gang is to allow us ordinary people to take refuge together, boy, you are not a local, right?

"I've heard a little, but I don't know the details, and I hope that the eldest brother will say it clearly. Hong Mingtian clenched his fists and bowed down and said, at least he knows the respect of the juniors for the elders, and it can also be seen from these that he is not as reckless as Fei Xuan.

Based on politeness, this person didn't have the same impatient attitude and tone as before, so he said: "A while ago, the people of the Tianji Gang wanted to buy a rare ore called 'Wenyang Stone' in our township and Luotian Town, although I don't know what that thing is for, it seems to be related to a girl, we don't have this thing, so we can't help much." ”

"However, there is a woman named Qianqiu who seems to be also inquiring about the Tianji Gang and a little girl, and in the end the two sides also had a big fight, as for the cause and effect, I can't say why. What's the matter, boy, are you also looking for the stubble of the Tianji Gang?"

"Big brother, you misunderstood, nothing. Hong Mingtian replied casually, but the thoughts in his heart were like a tide, "Woman, little girl, Tianji Gang, is there any connection between these three and Mr. Jiang? Qingshui Mountain, refuge......? I'd better go along, anyway, it's not in the way. ”

Hong Mingtian's footsteps were very slow, and gradually, he fell to the back of the crowd, and most of the rest of the people were sighing, and he was the only one who was almost holding his breath, as if he was thinking about something, and the surrounding environment could not accept him at all.

......

In the midst of the fire, there were two figures, looking around in front of a large stockade that was already in ruins, as if looking for something suspicious, and strangely, the two of them did not seem to be affected by the raging fire, and there was no difference between inside and outside.

"Yiqing, it's almost time to leave, he probably has fled somewhere else. The woman grabbed Jiang Yiqing's wrist with one hand, and wanted to leave this sea of fire. And Jiang Yiqing's face was undoubtedly frozen, and he had no choice but to retreat from the sea of fire in a hurry.

As soon as they came out, the two of them breathed heavily, as if a person who was about to drown suddenly gained air, and it was clear that they would not have an easy time entering the sea of fire.

"How many people from the Tianji Gang were killed and burned?" After a long time, Jiang Yiqing eased up and asked. Qianqiu, on the other hand, recorded all the corpses around him, first, to make sure that there was no one they were looking for this time, and secondly, to know how much damage this fire could bring to the Tianji Gang.

"There are only thirteen, but the good news is that there is no Xiao Yu among these thirteen. Qianqiu said. This made the two sigh slightly, their purpose was obvious, it was to rescue the girl named Xiaoyu.

"Yiqing, have you ever wondered why they wanted to arrest Xiao Yu? We have no grievances with them, if we know our identity, there is no need to have a bad relationship with us. ”

"All of this can only be known from the mouth of the Tianji Gang, now what we have to do is to ensure Xiaoyu's safety, it is useless to say so much, and then go around to find out if there is any place to take refuge. Jiang Yiqing's face did not change, he was even a little out of proportion, Xiao Yu was his sister, and there could be no mistakes.

......

A group of people walked along the river, estimating that there should be three or four hundred people, this small village is indeed small enough, but these are not the key to the problem, with a pheasant crowing, the purple curtain on the horizon gradually hung on the mountain, which was mixed with some fiery red. From a distance, the sea of fire has withered a lot, and a group of people have finally come to this so-called Qingshui Mountain.

Qingshui Mountain is not big, a mountain is only two or three hundred meters from the horizon, the mountain is as its name suggests, surrounded by green water, even in the dawn of early autumn, it seems so full of life here. In the north-west of the mountain, there are 12 large and small stockades, which look very simple and have nothing to decorate, and the only thing that is still valuable is this large pile of wood.

But there were already preconceived people inside, and more than thirty guards stood upright in front of the twelve stockades, like a statue that could not be blown by the wind, but they had a more vivid color of life than the statue.

"It's here. Walking in the front, an old man who had reached the age of old age tremblingly pointed to the vague few stockades in front of him with his thin fingers, and just two words in his mouth had already spent almost all his strength, and finally his eyes were closed, and he lost consciousness.

Although the person was holding on, he couldn't wake him up no matter how the people around him shook him, and then he went to probe his nose, and there was no sign of breathing, just in case, the people around him finally put their hands on the old man's chest, feeling the changes in his chest, and after a long time, he sighed softly, "Alas, the village chief is gone." ”

Hearing this, the rest of the people were silent, the atmosphere became solidified and silent, and the two or three hundred people did not go directly to the village to fall down, but buried the old village keeper in a fairly empty place.

After the graves were piled up and the tombstones were erected, a group of people settled down in the stockade with a heavy breath.

Looking around, Hong Mingtian didn't find any suspicious people, he just wanted to see if this Mr. Jiang would come here, but looking at the situation, it was estimated that there was no show.

"Okay, let me recover and go back. Hong Mingtian was about to meditate and recover, but who would have thought that three figures would come in front of him. The sky was already bright, and he could even see clearly that the three of them were two men and one woman, referred to as "嬲". (PS: At the end of the month, should I also ask for a monthly pass and ask for a recommendation)
