The impact was so violent that the door bolt was shaken to the point of collapse.

Zhang Genggui was startled, and his whole body jumped up from the ground like a frightened bird. He turned around and looked at the door in horror, and took two steps back, half kneeling and half crawling.

Although Ye Qinghuai was not as exaggerated as him, he was still shocked and immediately raised his hand to press the sword on his waist.

The lives of the Minister of War, Wang Yunzhong and others have already been lost in this warehouse, and these are only what Ye Qinghuai knows. She does not know how many lives there are. This shows that Xue Song and others are ruthless.

Outlaws.

Ye Qinghuai was not sure whether etiquette such as the way of a monarch and his ministers could restrain their behavior.

What gave her more confidence at this time was the sword in her hand.

After all, she had been practicing martial arts for two months with Zhao Yinshi and Lu Yanchen. If it came to swords, she still had some confidence.

The next moment, the door bolt could not 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 Qinghuai's hand holding the sword immediately relaxed.

"Sir?" Ye Qinghuai looked at the visitor with some disbelief.

Lu Yanchen frowned slightly, his face very gloomy. After his eyes glanced at Zhang Genggui, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, he quickly scanned the entire room.

After confirming that there was no danger in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned his gaze to Ye Qinghuai.

His eyes suddenly softened when they met Ye Qinghuai's gaze. Ye Qinghuai noticed that there was a subtle upward arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to make a smile to comfort her, but because

I still have lingering fears but can't take shape.

"Is your Majesty okay?" Lu Yanchen asked after a long time.

Ye Qinghuai was not as flustered as he was. She looked calm, nodded, and said, "I'm fine."

She was about to ask why Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared here, but she suddenly smelled a strange smell on the tip of her nose.

As the door opened, the smell of something burning mixed with smoke drifted in from outside.

Ye Qinghuai 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, saying, "There's a fire outside."

"There's a fire in the warehouse?"

Lu Yanchen nodded. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden noise outside. A group of officers and soldiers holding spears filed in and surrounded the door of the house. The spears in each hand were pointed at Lu Yanchen, but they

Afraid of the emperor's majesty, he did not dare to enter the house and capture him in front of the emperor.

When the tension was tense, several people in civilian clothes separated a path from the officers and soldiers and walked to the front.

The leader was the one who led Ye Qinghuai to this room to rest. As he walked, he used his long sleeves to brush away the spear points aimed at Lu Yanchen, and said sternly: "What are you doing! I didn't see you.

Your Majesty is here!"

He walked to Lu Yanchen, his tone softened, and said to him: "Master Lu, after all, this is an important place in the warehouse, not Taiqing Pavilion. By barging in like this, aren't you disturbing His Majesty's rest?"

Lu Yanchen gave him a stern look and said nothing.

Ye Qinghuai ignored them. She stood up and walked out of the room.

The sky outside was already completely dark, and the moon had only risen halfway, but the moonlight was obscured by the thick smoke billowing from the horizon.

The firelight not far away was like the flowing Red Sea, illuminating the dark night like the red sun rising in the east.

There was a pungent smell in the air, carrying the shouts of the crowd in the distance.

Ye Qinghuai vaguely saw that five or six warehouses were on fire, the largest of which had a yellow roof.

"What's going on?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, for some reason, a fire suddenly broke out in the warehouse. I'm afraid it was because the weather was dry and there were fires at night, so the precautionary measures were not properly prepared." The person in charge said.

"Didn't the fire just break out and fire prevention measures have been strengthened?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"This... there are one or two hundred warehouses, and fire protection needs to be strengthened one by one. These ones may not have been done well yet."

He spoke vaguely, and he didn't know whether it was because the fire was too hot or because of something else, but the beads of sweat on his forehead looked particularly large under the light of the fire.

"It's been a hundred years since the Yuanshang warehouse was built. Does it catch fire every summer?" Ye Qinghuai asked again.

"This... naturally isn't..."

"Then why did fires break out one after another as soon as the warehouses were opened to use grain this year?" Ye Qinghuai's voice became colder.

The civil servant was not a troublemaker at all. After being asked a few words by Ye Qinghuai, his expression flickered and he was unable to answer.

"Why are you still standing here?" After a while, Ye Qinghuai looked at the officers, soldiers and civil servants surrounding her and asked.

Xue Song was dismissed from his post, and no one gave them orders. These people looked at each other in confusion.

Finally, a civil servant standing next to Ye Qinghuai saluted Ye Qinghuai and said, "Your Majesty, please give me a clear explanation."

Seeing their unhurried manner, Ye Qinghuai felt a fire rising in his heart, and said angrily to them: "The granary contains Dajing's military rations, the lives of the frontline soldiers, and the lives of our dynasty."

Line of defense! If you don’t put out the fire, why are you here asking me what to do?”

She was very frightened when she got angry. Someone immediately knelt down to persuade her to calm down, while others trotted towards the fire scene. After a while, everyone in the yard dispersed, and only Lu Yanchen and Zhang Genggui were left.

"You go ahead and don't talk too much to anyone. I've written down what you said."

Zhang Genggui left with great gratitude.

When there were only two people left, Ye Qinghuai asked: "Why are you here, sir?"

"Wei Chen received the news from Eunuch Li that His Majesty was staying here today. He felt that something was strange, so he rushed over immediately." Lu Yanchen pondered for a moment and then said, "There is something weird here."

Ye Qinghuai looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"They stopped me from coming in. That formation... was a bit too strict for a warehouse."

Lu Yanchen said it tactfully, but Ye Qinghuai could imagine it.

The same thing happened when Xue Song stopped her from entering the warehouse in the afternoon, as if there really was something deadly in the warehouse.

"How did you get in in the end?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Later, there was a fire inside, so I didn't care so much. I injured a few people and forced my way in."

No wonder the officers and soldiers who followed him looked like they were facing a powerful enemy when they saw him.

I guess I have already experienced Lu Yanchen's skills.

Ye Qinghuai subconsciously looked behind him. Today, he did not carry that strange long knife. He didn't even have a weapon on his body, but it was stained with some unknown person's blood.

It seems that I took it with my bare hands.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered what Gu Shihai said about Lu Yanchen - "It is a pity that such a talent is not used to kill enemies on the battlefield, but is left in the study to write and write."

Lu Yanchen didn't know that Ye Qinghuai was sighing in his heart. He looked at Ye Qinghuai seriously and said: "Your Majesty, after all, I once lived in the Imperial Palace, so I would like to say more. You don't have to be safe outside the palace.

We are connected to the country and the country, so we must never take risks alone again."

At this time, he actually showed the attitude of a teacher.

Ye Qinghuai was just about to refute him, saying that she was not "alone" when she left the palace this time, but suddenly her heart dropped.

She remembered something she had ignored.

"Sir, Qin Yang... Qin Yang may be in the fire scene."
