Chapter 236 Arson (Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass)

Qian Yan heard the shout because of her good ears, and others couldn't hear it, so everyone still walked unhurriedly, and the other people in the front yard didn't mess up.

When she heard the voice, she immediately probed her divine sense and found that there was a fire in the wing room where the monks lived in the backyard.

She took a closer look at the one that had started the fire, which was probably closest to the wall, and in a moment it was almost burned out.

At this time, the houses were all wooden structures, and only the lower part of the foundation was made of masonry, so it burned quickly.

The side room is not like other courtyards, there is a courtyard wall in the middle, and they are all built one by one, so the company camp was burned down all of a sudden.

Fortunately, there was an open space between the side room where the monks lived and the courtyard where the pilgrims lived, and the wind direction was northwesterly, so when everyone found out that they had started to fight the fire, it was not affected.

Qian Yan pulled Li Muxue with one hand and Wang Qingyue with the other, and her feet sped up.

Turning back to Xue Huan'er and Mrs. Wang, he said: "I vaguely seem to hear some sounds, and I don't know what happened, let's leave quickly, lest we really encounter something and be scattered in chaos." ”

Although a few people didn't know why, they also subconsciously followed a few quick steps.

Mrs. Wang walked all the way from the back to the front yard, and there was a little sweat on her forehead, and her body was really empty.

Fortunately, there were two maids holding one on the left and one on the right, and they were only leaning lightly before, but now they have almost pressed half of their body weight on the two maids.

When they got to the side gate where the carriage was parked, someone shouted from the front yard.

There is no need for someone behind to spread the news, the smoke and flames over there can be seen in the front yard.

Although there is a lotus pond in the backyard, there are not many people in the backyard after all, the pilgrims rest in the various courtyards, not to mention, most of the monks are in the front hall here to preach the scriptures, and there are really few people who put out the fire in the back.

In addition to controlling the burning to the side of the fasting room, several trees next to the side rooms were also set on fire, and even the two side rooms of the abbot in the back were now on fire.

No way, the wind in the northwest is too strong, there are usually four or five winds, especially this is on the top of the mountain, the wind has to be six levels up, the wind is rising and the fire is rising, that's not just talking.

Fortunately, the burning wing is in the south, and now the northwest wind is blowing, and there is a high probability that the wind will not change direction, so it has been controlled over there, otherwise the entire Qingyuan Temple is estimated to be burned.

Even if it is not extinguished, the wings where the monks live will be burned, not to mention, and the few trees behind it will probably have to be scrapped.

It was also because a few trees behind it were burned, and the height was much higher than that of the wings, so the front yard could be seen clearly.

In addition, the smoke is also rising, and almost everything you see has found that something is wrong, no way, there is a tall hall in the middle courtyard, and there is also a large hall in front of it, if there is no smoke, it is really invisible.

When they first arrived at the place where the carriage stopped, the coachmen of all the families stood on the wheels and looked behind them.

When the three horsemen of the Wang family and the Li family saw their master, they jumped down as soon as they saw their master, and their faces were all relieved.

Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam (young master) (miss), is there a fire in the backyard?" We're also talking about whether we want to go over and greet us. ”

Li Hanyun, Xue Huan'er and Wang Qingyue all waved their hands, they had just followed and quickened their pace, and now they were all a little wheezing, and they stopped for a while to pant evenly.

Xue Huan'er said: "Let's not delay time here, hurry up and get in the car and leave, it's okay now, I'm afraid it's not good to go down the mountain in a while." ”

Several people stopped talking nonsense and got into their respective carriages directly, and the coachman also drove the car away from the temple gate as soon as possible.

If you stay here for a while, I'm afraid that there will be too many people to squeeze out, although there are no cliffs and cliffs on the mountain road down the mountain, it is easy to bump into it if there are too many people, and you will also be injured.

Seeing this, the coachmen of the other families ran back, ready to remind their masters not to patronize and watch the excitement, and it was important to escape.

If the fire can't be extinguished, there may be a mountain fire on the mountain, there are no green trees on the mountain in winter, just a little bit, once the fire starts, no one can run, the fire spreads much faster than people run.

Although there is a water source in this Qingyuan Mountain, it can only stop the fire, and it may be good to be able to save half of the mountain.

Qian Yan looked behind with her divine sense, the fire was indeed quite big now, especially when the spark was swept by the wind and flew over the walls of the temple, falling on the branches outside, and now a few trees outside were also on fire.

Qian Yan thought about it, she didn't know who set this fire, and she didn't know what the purpose was, but if it really wanted to cause a mountain fire, none of them could escape.

So she said directly to Chou: "Can you help control the fire, at least extinguish the flames that are rushing out, otherwise I am afraid that the people above will not be able to escape." ”

The ugly ugly agreed, and immediately extinguished the fire on the few trees that were ignited, it did not use water, but directly wrapped the fire with its divine sense, just like blocking the air, and naturally extinguished.

In the eyes of outsiders, they will think that it was because the wind was too strong, and they directly blew out the fire again.

The other one didn't burn up before, just a little bit of spark, so it wasn't so obvious.

After that, the ugly ugly stared directly at that side, as long as the fire escaped from the wall, it was extinguished, and it could be regarded as temporarily controlling the situation.

Qian Yan used his divine sense to probe the courtyard of Vice General Wang, and now there was only Deputy General Wang alone, there was a fire outside, not far away, but he just stood in the courtyard and watched, did not come out to put out the fire, nor did he leave, and he didn't know if he was watching, or if the fire had something to do with him.

While controlling the fire, the ugly side said to Tilt Yan: "Didn't I keep an eye on those two people, I was just knocked unconscious and taken away, from the house where it was burned first." ”

Qian Yan raised her eyebrows, "Taken away?" So where are you now, are you still in the temple? ”

Ugly: "Yes, it's on the third side of the room, but the woman is gone, and now a few people are searching inside, and I don't know who it is." ”

Qian Yan thought for a while and asked, "Is there any one inside who is wearing a cyan dress?" Long and Vice Admiral Wang have four or five points of resemblance? A Chinese melon face, the eyes are quite large, and some are convex outward. ”

Ugly: "Yes, yes, this is the person of Vice General Wang?" ”

It was busy staring at those two people before, and it didn't pay attention to it when Li Hanyun went to find Vice General Wang, so it didn't see Wang Kaiyuan.

Qian Yan explained it and said: "That person is the nephew of Vice General Wang, called Wang Kaiyuan, he should have taken someone to arrest them, I described their appearance to Li Hanyun, and now it should be the wife of the prison general."

They should have planted this fire, but I don't know if they were going to lure the snake out of the hole to attract the attention of these people, or if they were trying to hide something.

I may not be able to see the situation on the mountain in a while, you keep an eye on it, and you can tell me if there is anything new. ”

They have now gone up the mountain road, when they came out of the temple before, the temple fair outside was still going on, and no one had found the scene in the temple, but after they walked for a while, they heard the noise behind them getting louder and louder, and they probably found out that they were cleaning up the things on the stall.

Don't say that they are cruel and don't notify these people in advance.

Xue Huan'er may not have remembered it at all, or she may have remembered it, and she couldn't leave for fear of chaos.

Qian Yan knew that Ugly and ugly could control the fire and would not hurt so many innocents, and they would be chaotic for a while, and when they found that the fire did not burn out, it would definitely be divided into two waves.

A wave is busy leaving to escape, a wave of more enthusiastic people should help to put out the fire, there are many people with great power, if there are many people saved, the fire in the temple will soon be controlled.

And Vice General Wang is still inside, if it is really the fire he set on fire, I believe it should not be uncontrollable.

By the time they had walked for an hour and reached the halfway point of the mountain, Tian Yan could no longer see the scene above. However, you can see the crowd of people who fell behind and squeezed down the mountain.

The walking roads were too crowded and went straight through the woods, and now the crowd was fanning out.

She didn't find the lady in the third room in those carriages, and she didn't know if she had left or if she was controlled by someone else, but she was nowhere to be found.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party had left before, and after listening to what she said to the fake monk, she didn't pay attention to it anymore, and she didn't know when she disappeared.

It doesn't matter, anyway, I already know the identity of the other party, unless she never goes home again and disappears, otherwise, as long as the other party goes back, she can be found.

She heard Xue Huan'er say that the wife of the prison general has two children, and she believes that as a mother, she should not disappear easily, even if it is for the sake of her children, and there is a high probability that her own children will not be implicated.

As for whether the general knows the details of his wife, or whether he is an accomplice, it will be up to Adjutant General Wang to investigate.

They walked for another hour, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they looked back and could see the crowd coming down with the naked eye.

The smoke on the top of the mountain can also be seen, and it is thicker and darker than the previous smoke, and after asking Ugly Ugly, I realized that the fire above has almost been extinguished, so now is the time when the smoke is the heaviest.

Because it was discovered in a timely manner, there were no casualties, not even a single injury, but a few wings and trees were burned.

Oh, and the lotus pond has almost been drained, and many of the fish in it have suffered, and they have been poured into the fire directly with the water.

The abbot of Qingyuan Temple and the man with the scar in his house have also been controlled, and now they are all tied up to Vice General Wang, and now there are the most people in his courtyard.

It and the few suspicious people she had discovered, except for the lady, had now been caught in the courtyard.

In addition to those few people, there is also a group of middle-aged men, who seem to be Deputy General Wang's subordinates, and they all have the temperament of a soldier.

Qian Yan could be sure that the lady had left early, and it was estimated that there was no need to stay there after completing the task.

She should have gone up the mountain alone without a companion, and everyone wouldn't pay much attention when she left.

Xue Huan'er could also see the thick black smoke on the mountain through the window of the carriage, and threw an inquiring look at Tilt Yan, who nodded invisibly at her.

Xue Huan'er sighed, and said with something in her words: "Today is really an eventful day. ”

At this time, they had reached the bottom of the mountain, and the road was much wider, and of course, the three carriages did not go side by side, after all, there were people coming from the opposite side from time to time, and they could not block the road.

So they still marched in a row vertically, with the Wang family's carriage in front, their car in the middle, and Li Hanyun's in the back.

When they had walked a little further, out of the range of the mountain, and came to a flat clearing, they stopped and prepared to rest for a while.

There is a tea shed in front of this, which should have been newly built in the past few days, specifically to provide tea and resting places for people who come and go to the temple fair, and there are also in the village at the foot of the mountain before, but it is estimated that there will be more people over there for a while, so they did not stop there.

There are also two or three miles from there, and those who come from afar will also rest here, after all, I don't know if there is any spare space in the village, and there is no tea to buy on the mountain road to the top of the mountain after going up the mountain.

They had walked down the mountain for more than two hours, and they were already thirsty and tired, and it was already the limit for them to endure this point.

It turned out to be such a coincidence that I met the wife of the prison general.

Because Qian Yan has been looking at the back with her divine sense, she didn't pay attention to the front, so she really didn't spot her in advance.

I didn't expect the other party to drink tea here, I don't know if it was just one step faster for them to go down the mountain, or if they were sitting here waiting for someone, it was possible anyway.

Before, she didn't pay attention to whether there was a carriage in front of her, so it's really hard to say when the other party was here.

When they came to them, Qian Yan directly found a place to sit down with Li Muxue and Li Hanyun.

Mrs. Wang doesn't go out much, so she doesn't know many people, it's normal not to know this person, Wang Qingyue and Xue Huan'er stepped forward to say hello, they have met many times in the prefect's house, and they can't say hello when they meet.

Qian Yan observed the person with her divine sense, and saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged, and responded naturally, the other party didn't know that they already knew her identity, it was normal to be so calm, it was Xue Huan'er who surprised her, and she was able to talk and laugh with the other party without changing her face, and sure enough, she was also a person who had seen the wind and waves.

She didn't know, Xue Huan'er thought so too, she saw that Qian Yan looked natural and quiet, and nodded straight in her heart, sure enough, she was worthy of walking through the south and the north, and she was very calm at a young age.
