Chapter 438: Can't Protect It
Outside the courtyard, they kept throwing fire oil into the courtyard, as if to make sure that the whole courtyard was burning, so they threw a lot, and the fire oil flowed in the courtyard, and it had spread to their feet, and it was about to flow into the fields.
Yang Tinghe
Even if the oil does not burn in the end, it will pollute the land, so that the potatoes grown will not be edible, Yang Tianhe picked up a shovel and began to dig pits around the potato field, hoping that when the fire oil flows through, it will flow into the pit and not pollute the potato seedlings.
At this moment, Yang Wenxuan and Shen Qingshan had already run out with quilts, fortunately, in order to facilitate watering the potatoes, Yang Tinghe had been preparing several water tanks in the courtyard, all of which were filled with water, and the two put the quilts in, and soon the quilts were full of water.
At this moment, the outside began to throw torches into the courtyard, Shen Qingshan's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward with a quilt to wrap the torches, not letting the torches fall to the ground, Yang Ting and Yang Wenxuan saw this, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, they thought that a crisis had been solved, but in a moment, several torches were thrown in from all corners outside the courtyard, and it was obvious that there were too many opponents, and the forbidden army couldn't resist it at all.
As soon as the torches touched the oil, they spread rapidly with the momentum of a prairie fire, and soon the whole courtyard was ablaze, and their faces were red, and the three of them were gradually pushed back by the flames, and they were already forced to the front of the potato field.
The three of them had only one thought in their hearts, that is, it was over, it was difficult for them to escape, and the potato seedlings in this place could not stand the fire at all.
The forbidden soldiers have been resisting these thieves outside, but they can see that they took out the items contained in the wine jar, their faces were pale, they knew what these people were going to do earlier than Yang Tinghe and the others, but there were too many people on the other side, they couldn't resist at all, and they could only watch as those fire oil were thrown into the courtyard.
Even in the end, they were still throwing torches inside, and everyone's faces were extremely ugly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted them with such an important task, but they let the thieves burn the entire courtyard, and if the Prince returned, they did not know how to face him.
I didn't have time to care about those thieves, some of the forbidden soldiers rushed to the yard to rescue, but those thieves also seized this gap and rushed to the yard together.
Now it was in the night, the sky was dark, but everywhere was lit by firelight, Yang Tinghe watched the forbidden army rush in with a few thieves, they were wielding knives and guns, some wanted to put out the fire, and some continued to throw fire oil, wanting to make the fire burn more vigorous, and the whole courtyard was in chaos.
Yang Ting and the three of them were like duckweed, they wanted to help the forbidden army, but where did the three scholars join the battle between the two sides, Yang Wenxuan didn't even know who was stabbed, fortunately it was only injured on the arm, and there was not much danger.
Shen Qingshan saw the gap and dragged Yang Tinghe and Yang Wenxuan back, but at this moment, they saw that a thief had already sprinkled fire oil on the ground of the potato seedlings, and the three of them couldn't stop it, so they could only watch the torches fall, and the green potato seedlings were all rolled up in the yellow flames.
Yang Tinghe suddenly felt extremely painful, and the whole person fell to his knees.
Shen Qingshan and Yang Wenxuan were also uncomfortable, they could only hold Yang Tianhe's arm tightly at this time, lest he rush into the sea of fire in an excited manner.
The surrounding people heard the sound of swords, and when they went out, they saw that the sky near Lord Yang's courtyard was already illuminated by firelight, and everyone was shocked, and some ran over without even having time to put on their clothes.
"Oh my God, our potatoes, what kind of sin has been created, those potatoes are the hope of all the people of my Wu Dynasty."
Some of them were a little more sensible, and they had already run to put out the fire, but the gate of the courtyard was full of fire oil, and they couldn't rush in at all.
After a long while, I saw many people rushing out of it one after another, including the forbidden army, and there were also people wearing black night clothes, they were still fighting, and the forbidden army saw the people outside and shouted.
"What are you doing in a daze? If you don't hurry up and go home to get water to put out the fire, there is already a fire in the potato field, and now you can only save one or two. ”
The people did not dare to delay, and immediately ran home to get water, some with wooden basins, some with wooden barrels, carrying water to put out the fire, but it was fire oil that started the fire, which was so easy to extinguish.
Similarly, Yang Tinghe also discovered this problem in the hospital, he saw that the entire potato field was involved in the fire, even if he took the quilt and tried to extinguish the fire, or even poured water on it, he could not extinguish the fire.
Shen Qingshan took advantage of the chaos in the courtyard and quietly ran to the back, he still remembered that when Lord Yang fetched potatoes for them, there were two large baskets of potatoes in the warehouse behind him, if the potato seedlings in the potato field were burned, the potatoes in the backyard were the next seedlings, and there must not be any mistakes.
He understood this truth, and Liu Zhongqing and the others naturally understood, after all, they really found two large baskets of potatoes from Yang Tinghe's courtyard, so when they gave orders to these people in the rivers and lakes, they were specially instructed to destroy all the two large baskets of potatoes, but these people didn't know where they were, so they searched in the courtyard.
Shen Qingshan held the key that had just been passed from Yang Tinghe's body in his hand, opened the warehouse door and walked in, he looked left and right, and found that there was no place to hide such a large pile of potatoes, he could only step forward and use his coat to pocket it, and hide it separately in other places.
He was carrying it here like a little hamster, the thieves had already searched here, Yang Tinghe also thought of the warehouse, and when he saw that they were about to rush in, he immediately ran over to stop them.
"Stop, although I don't know who sent you, but whether you are ordinary people or people from the rivers and lakes, they are all the people of my Wu Dynasty, here is the hope of the people of the Wu Dynasty, you should have also experienced disasters, seen the displaced people, and seen the tragic situation of starvation all over the wilderness, as long as you have these potatoes, you can reduce many casualties, and many people don't have to go hungry, but you have to collect money to destroy these, and wake up in the middle of the night, don't you feel uneasy about your conscience?"
Unexpectedly, his words made several people on the other side stunned for a moment, and several masked people looked at each other, and their eyes were a little shaken.
No one wants to go hungry, they are in the rivers and lakes, they have seen more tragic situations, what is it to starve all over the wilderness, and some of them have even experienced Yizi and eaten.
