Chapter 153: Fire
The impact was so violent, and the deadbolt was shaken.
Zhang Genggui was taken aback, the whole person bounced up from the ground like a frightened bird, turned his head and looked at the door in horror, and took two steps back half-kneeling and half-crawling.
Although Ye Qianhuai was not as exaggerated as him, he was also shocked in his heart, and immediately raised his hand and pressed the sword on his waist.
The lives of the soldiers and Wang Yunzhong and others have been lost in this warehouse, and these are only known to Ye Tianhuai, and she doesn't know how many lives there are. It shows that Xue Song and his party are all ruthless extralegal fanatics.
Ye Tianhuai was also unsure whether such rituals as the way of kings and ministers could restrain their behavior.
At this time, what gave her more confidence was the sword in her hand.
After all, she has been practicing martial arts with Zhao Yinshi and Lu Yanchen for two months, and if she really talks about swords, she still has some confidence.
The next moment, the deadbolt finally couldn't withstand the impact, and the two wooden doors were kicked open.
A tall man in black strode through the door.
Seeing the person coming, Ye Tianhuai's hand holding the sword immediately loosened.
"Sir?" Ye Tianhuai looked at the visitor with some disbelief.
Lu Yanchen frowned slightly, his face was very gloomy, and after his gaze swept over Zhang Genggui, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, he quickly scanned the entire room.
After making sure that there was no danger in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief for the rest of his life and turned his gaze back to Ye Tianhuai.
His eyes suddenly softened when he met Ye Qianhuai's gaze, and Ye Tinghuai noticed that there was an undetectable upward arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to pull out a smile to comfort her, but he failed to form because of his heart palpitations.
"Your Majesty is well?" After a long time, Lu Yanchen asked.
Ye Qianhuai was not as flustered as him, her face was calm, she nodded, and said, "I'm fine." ”
She just wanted to ask why Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared here, but the tip of her nose suddenly smelled a strange smell.
As the door opened, a smell of burning stuff mixed with smoke wafted in from outside.
Ye Tianhuai had a bad premonition in her heart, she frowned, looked outside the house, and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Lu Yanchen quickly turned around and glanced outside the house, and said, "There's a fire outside." ”
"There's a fire in the warehouse?"
Lu Yanchen nodded, he was just about to speak, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and a group of officers and soldiers with spears in their hands rushed in, surrounding the door of the house, and the spears in each hand were aimed at Lu Yanchen, but they were afraid of the emperor's majesty, and they did not dare to enter the house in front of the emperor and take him down.
As the tension was raging, several civilian-clad men parted a way from the officers and soldiers and walked to the front.
The one at the head was the person who had led Ye Qian to rest in this room before, and as he walked, he used his long sleeves to swing away the spear heads that were aimed at the landing banquet dust, and said sharply: "What are you doing!" Didn't see His Majesty here! ”
He walked to Lu Yanchen's side, his tone softened, and said to him: "Lord Lu, after all, this is a warehouse land, not a Taiqing Pavilion. Didn't you disturb Your Majesty's rest by intruding in so recklessly? ”
Lu Yanchen glanced at him with a cold expression and did not speak.
Ye Tianhuai didn't pay attention to them, she got up straight and walked out of the door.
It was already dark outside, and the moon was only halfway up, but the moonlight was obscured by the billowing smoke on the horizon.
The light of the fire not far away is like a flowing red sea, illuminating the night like a red sun.
A pungent smell wafted through the air, engulfing the shouts of the distant crowd.
Ye Qianhuai faintly saw that there were five or six warehouses on fire, and the largest one of them had a yellow top cover.
"What's going on?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, for some reason, there was a sudden fire in the warehouse. I am afraid that the weather is dry, and there are fires and candles at night, and the precautions are not properly prepared. "The humanity of the people around me.
"Didn't you just start a fire and strengthen fire prevention measures?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"This ...... One or two hundred warehouses, and one by one to strengthen fire prevention, these may not have been done yet. ”
He said vaguely, and I don't know if it was because the fire was too hot, or because of what, the beads of sweat on his forehead looked very large in the light of the fire.
"It's been a hundred years since the warehouse was built, and it catches fire every summer?" Ye Qianhuai asked again.
"This ...... Nature is not ......"
"Then why did the grain start one after another as soon as the warehouse was opened this year?" Ye Qianhuai's voice froze.
The civil official was not a person who took care of things, and his expression flickered when he was asked by Ye Tianhuai after a few words, and he couldn't answer.
"What are you still doing here?" For a long time, Ye Tianhuai looked at the officers and soldiers and civil servants who were surrounding her.
Xue Song was dismissed, no one gave them orders, and these people looked at each other.
In the end, a civil official standing beside Ye Qianhuai saluted Ye Qianhuai and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear." ”
Seeing their unhurried appearance, Ye Tianhuai's heart burst into flames, and he said angrily to them: "That granary is filled with Dajing's military rations, the lives of the front-line soldiers, and the defense line of our dynasty!" You're not going to put out the fire, and you're still here asking me what to do? ”
She started a fire that was so scary that some people knelt down to persuade her to calm her anger, and others trotted to the fire. After a while, the people in the courtyard dispersed, leaving only Lu Yanchen and Zhang Genggui.
"You go first, don't talk too much. I have written down what you said. ”
Zhang Genggui went with great gratitude.
When there were only two people left, Ye Tianhuai opened his mouth and asked, "Why is Mr. here?" ”
"Weichen received the news from Gonggong Li that His Majesty was staying here today, and felt that something was wrong, so he immediately rushed over." Lu Yanchen groaned for a moment, and then said, "It's a little weird here. ”
Ye Qianhuai looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
"They stopped the ministers from coming in, and the battle was ...... It's a bit too strict for a warehouse. ”
Lu Yanchen said it tactfully, but Ye Tianhuai imagined it.
The same was true when Xue Song stopped her from entering the warehouse in the afternoon, as if there was really something in the warehouse that could kill people.
"How did the gentleman end up getting in?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"Later, there was a fire inside, and the minister didn't care so much, injured a few people, and forced himself in."
No wonder the officers and soldiers who followed him saw him as if they were facing a great enemy.
I think I have already felt Lu Yanchen's skills.
Ye Tianhuai subconsciously looked behind him, today he didn't have that strange long knife, and he didn't even have a weapon on his body, but he was stained with some blood that I don't know who it was.
It seems that he has taken the white blade empty-handed.
Ye Qian suddenly remembered Gu Shihai's evaluation of Lu Yanchen's sentence - "Such a talent does not take it to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but has to sit in the study to dance and ink, it is really a pity for me." ”
Lu Yanchen didn't know that Ye Tianhuai sighed in his heart, he looked at Ye Tianhuai with a serious expression, and said, "Your Majesty, after all, the minister has been the emperor's master, so he will say a word more and more." You don't have to be safe outside the palace, you are a member of the country, and you must no longer be alone like this. ”
At this time, he took out the posture of a division commander of 100,000 points.
Ye Tianhuai just wanted to refute him, saying that he was not "alone" when he left the palace this time, but suddenly his heart was cold.
She remembered something she had overlooked.
"Sir, Qin Yang...... Qin Yang may be in the fire. ”
