Chapter 43: Assassination by Unscrupulous Means

When the explosion sounded, Huo Erye and Bai Zeqing, who were standing in the largest Jiazi warehouse compartment, were shocked to the point that their eardrums hurt. Then came the skyrocketing fire.

Especially Bai Zeqing, who was shocked by the explosion at this time, his blood surged, his eyes were full of stars, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Just because she was listening carefully to the movement in the barn in a state of concentration, when she heard the slightest trace of the fire line hidden in the voice, before she could say "bad", the explosion seemed to explode directly in her mind.

They thought it would be a hidden arrow, assassination, poisoning, siege.

So Huo Erye and Bai Zeqing briefly discussed and quickly formulated a method to lure the snake out of the hole.

They deliberately chose the largest Jiazi warehouse, and in the moisture-proof compartment, they let the best guards Li Xiao and Huo Erye change their clothes, pretending to be Huo Erye, and under the cover of the maidservant Banting, they entered the granary to inspect the grain.

The main owner waited in the compartment, and as long as the people inside acted, they would directly take down and judge the real culprit behind the scenes. Properly staged praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.

But they never expected it to be an explosion.

As soon as the explosion started, the fire caught fire, and in an instant, the entire Jiazi warehouse was set on fire.

Banxia gritted his teeth angrily: "The thief dares!" ”

The guards were also shocked: "Black powder is scarce, and it is strictly controlled by the imperial court, where did they get the explosives?" ”

Huo Erye was choked and coughed repeatedly. Bai Zeqing covered his buzzing head, glanced at the guards, and said: "The imperial court controls it, and in Yuanzhou, it is the government control." As she spoke, her eyes looked around, looking for something.

The guard came back to his senses and repeated even more frightenedly, "The government? Yin Fucheng! ”

"This fire...... The fire is so fierce! Bai Zeqing's brows furrowed very tightly, and she asked Second Master Huo, "It's not good, go?" ”

The entire Jiazi warehouse was already on fire, and black smoke was billowing out. There was a sound of fighting in the barn, followed by a woman's cries of pain.

"Ban Ting......" Ban Xia anxiously raised his steps and wanted to go inside, but he stopped stiffly, and still stayed by Huo Erye's side one step at a time.

"Help!" Huo Erye finally stopped coughing and said coldly.

"Yes!" The guards kicked open the wooden door of the barn, and a wave of heat came out along with the fire.

When Huo Erye and Bai Zeqing discussed each other's methods, they also thought about the possibility of burning the prison. But she didn't think it was the best solution, first, she had observed that when a fire broke out in a prison, it was very easy to escape, and she wanted to carry out an assassination here, unless-

Bai Zeqi felt bad, immediately stood up, and kicked the door of the outer warehouse.

The barn door fell in response, and they saw that the outside of the barn was already full of flames, and all the barns in front and back, left and right, actually caught fire almost at the same moment, and they were surrounded by raging fire.

For a moment, Bai Zeqing's scalp was numb.

The other party really set fire to all the surrounding prisons in order to kill them!

In order to kill them, it is necessary to make the entire twelve warehouses of Yushan Cang turn into scorched earth!

This is tens of thousands of stone grain! Do they want to starve all the displaced people to death?

Why? How dare they?

In the midst of the fire on all sides, they were trapped in the only compartment that had not yet been burned.

The passage between the barns and barns is a panicked rush of soldiers, who have given up fighting the fire and only want to flee for their lives.

But thick smoke surrounded them, and it was already a Jedi, almost impossible to escape.

At this moment, a person rushed out of the inner warehouse door kicked open by the guards, and it was Li Xiao.

Banxia dragged him out of the sea of fire and shouted, "What about Ban Ting? The voice was already crying.

The guards hurriedly fluttered the flames on his clothes, and Huo Erye saw that there were clay pot fragments on his legs, arms, and back, and said, "Is it a fire pot cannon?" ”

Li Xiao shook his head, struggled to get up, and said, "Second Master, it's the fire cannon." The canister was placed on the oil tank, and the explosion ignited the oil can, and the fire started. ”

"It's a small carelessness." He looked sad, "Miss Banting was afraid that I would be recognized by them, so I was kept in the middle, and I was dragged by them when the explosion started, so I was afraid that I would ......"

Huo Erye frowned slightly, motioned to the guards to help Li Xiao up, and said, "Let's go." ”

Before the words fell, there was an exclamation outside, and the C-shaped warehouse next to it had collapsed with a bang.

In order to prevent moisture, Yushan Cang chose a dry place far away from the water source, surrounded by processed bamboo pieces around the warehouse and at the bottom, and then evenly coated with cow dung and plant ash to prevent insects and moisture. These designs work with high winds, and when a fire comes, it burns like a divine help, fast and fast.

The burning beams and grains with sparks were all scattered and smashed on the passage, and several of the soldiers who escaped from the barns were smashed and screamed loudly.

Bai Zeqing closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, then concentrated, and then opened his eyes and looked out.

She first had to find the direction of the gate of Yushancang, and then she had to find a relatively safe passage. But the flames seemed to be pressed down from all directions, and black smoke billowed and enveloped the entire Yushan warehouse.

The direction of the passage was indistinct, and the soldiers who were running blindly had already choked and coughed violently, and some even fainted to the ground.

Bai Zeqing finally saw the nearest water tank in the thick smoke, she quickly ran over, tore two pieces of cloth from her cuffs, and found the nearest water tank to soak it, and tied one piece to her face to cover her mouth and nose, so she ran back and handed another wet cloth to Huo Erye's mouth and nose.

Then he pointed to the water tank and shouted: "There is a water tank over there, cover your face with a damp cloth, quick!" ”

The fire is critical, and even more critical than the fire is the billowing smoke. The guards and warehouse soldiers hurriedly pulled strips of cloth and soaked them to cover their mouths and noses.

Bai Zeqing and Banxia left and right escorted Huo Erye, who kept coughing, out of the compartment, she pointed to the direction of the gate of Yushancang, which was only right to identify, and shouted, "Follow me." ”

"The smoke is coming up, bend down and lower it, it can be better below." Bai Zeqing pulled Huo Er Ye to lower his body and led them to the door.

The warehouse soldiers, who were like headless flies, were led by someone, and they all immediately followed behind a few people.

The smoke was so smoky that everyone couldn't open their eyes, Bai Zeqing closed his eyes, squatted down, dragged Huo Erye tightly, and walked with his sense of qi.

The soldiers couldn't find their way with their eyes closed, and even if there were barns around that hadn't completely collapsed, they were already burned hot, and they couldn't grope at all, so they could only crawl in the darkness.

"Hey...... Ahem! Huo Erye tripped over a body on the ground, and he didn't know whether the other party was dead or alive.

This stumbling away from Bai Zeqing's guidance. He hurriedly took a few steps back before getting up, and circled around, only to feel that the heat wave around him was hitting people, and it should be a burning warehouse.

He couldn't open his eyes, covered his eyes, mouth and nose with a wet cloth with one hand, and probed forward with the other, but didn't find Bai Zeqing.

Banxia couldn't find Second Master Huo, so he forcibly opened his eyes, and tears flowed out, and no one could be seen in the black smoke. She wanted to scream, but her throat hurt sharply, and even her brain began to dizzy. As soon as her knees went limp, she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, someone grabbed her by the arm and held her up.

Bai Zeqing's voice sounded in Banxia's ears, "You follow me." ”

Then Bai Zeqing grabbed Huo Erye's hand that almost reached the burning warehouse, and said, "Hold on to me, I'll take you away." ”
