Chapter 313 Unexpected and Reasonable
Chapter 313 Unexpected, but reasonable
There's a fire!
There was a fire in the center of the city, which was the most heavily defended by the Feiying Army.
The reason why Zhenniang's family saw the fire in the north was because their home was in the south and their lines of sight were opposite each other, thus creating an illusion.
The moment the fire broke out in Chixia City's former governor's mansion, which is now the Feiying Army's military camp, the generals in charge of the defense almost went crazy.
The guards at the central military camp are not unscrupulous. A county guard's mansion is packed with 20,000 flying shadow troops. It can almost be said that they are packed with people. They are guarded from the inside to the outside, and there are no blind spots.
And in this case, they actually asked people to touch it and set it on fire!
When several generals in charge of defense saw the fire, the first thing they felt was not anger, but fear.
Where does this fire come from? What kind of person, what kind of master, can successfully set a fire under such guards? How did the other party do it? Where are they now? The higher-ups will definitely hold them accountable, and how will they respond?
?
Several generals looked at each other, each seeing similar fear in the other's eyes.
What they feared most was nothing but the severe punishment of King Linhai.
Then someone shouted: "Fight the fire! Throw water, quickly!"
The soldiers ran quickly, and the center of the fire was originally a granary. In order to prevent fire, there were peace jars around it. The peace jars were usually filled with water, so that they could be taken anywhere when a fire broke out.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, no matter what the cause of the fire is, even if it burns, it will be difficult to spread over a large area.
Buckets after buckets of water were scooped up, and some military masters picked up the buckets and poured them on the fire.
boom!
A series of splashes of water were thrown away, but instead of extinguishing the blazing fire, it actually started to surge up again.
The fire turned out to be even bigger!
"Damn it! What's going on?"
A school captain shouted loudly: "Splash again, hundreds more people will come and splash water together!"
The people below were panicked: "General, there are not enough barrels! The barrels in the warehouse were stolen for some reason!"
The school captain was so angry that he felt a sharp pain in his heart. Where could he say "I don't know how it was stolen"? This clearly meant that the person who set the fire had a premeditated plan.
But how is this done?
Naturally, these soldiers, whose powers are still within the realm of ordinary people, would not have expected that there would be someone like Cheng Ling in this world. Not only does she have the most enchanting body skills, she also has a physical dimension that the world cannot understand.
The most important thing is that Cheng Ling's portable space has been upgraded!
Yes, both of her spaces have been upgraded and the area has been expanded.
I can’t tell whether it was because of the good harvest last time that Cheng Ling’s physique strengthened and a qualitative change occurred, or whether it was because during this period in the valley, Cheng Ling practiced hard day and night, and his skills increased to a new level——
In short, not long ago, one night when Cheng Ling was collecting moonlight, there was a sudden click in her ear, and both of her spaces expanded.
From one cube to ten cubes!
With ten cubic meters, there are so many things that can be done, which are completely different from those before.
Cheng Ling used the space to quietly move the barrels in the warehouse. As for the emergency tanks surrounding the granary outside, although it was inconvenient for her to move the huge emergency tanks together, she also took advantage of the convenience of the space.
Added material to the mortar.
Because the night was misty, even though there was a fire nearby, the light would distort people's vision even more, so that no one noticed that something was wrong with the water in the tank for a while.
But Cheng Ling, who secretly set the fire and tampered with the Taiping vat, had already taken advantage of the chaos here to sneak into the depths of the governor's mansion without making a sound.
The fire grew bigger and bigger as it went out, spreading continuously in all directions. Such movement even alarmed the Cangtian King.
All of a sudden, the top experts in the Central Military Camp appeared next to Cangtian King, surrounding him like a human wall of guards.
Cheng Ling was wearing night clothes and was quietly lurking in the shadow of a courtyard a little further away. He was walking around to avoid the patrolling sight of the sergeant in the mansion while observing the movements of the Cangtian King.
King Cangtian is indeed the king who is most afraid of death. Even if there is a fire in the granary, he has no intention of going over to take a look in person.
He just walked from the room to the lakeside in the garden of the Sheriff's Mansion, surrounded by the guards and entourage. When he opened his mouth, he asked: "The granary is leaking, what's going on with the Queen Mother?"
The granary was flooded, but the Cangtian King asked the Queen Mother?
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Ling saw a group of people hurriedly walking out of the courtyard next to Cangtian King's residence.
It’s Queen Mother Xu!
She was also surrounded by numerous guards and entourage, and the whole scene was almost the same as that of Cang Tian King.
But when the people on the two sides got closer, Cangtian King's entourage actually dispersed!
Yes, the people surrounding Cangtian King dispersed. The crowd dispersed into a passage, and Empress Dowager Xu walked quickly through the passage. She almost jumped on Cangtian King.
King Cang Tian quickly caught her, patted her shoulder with concern, and said warmly: "Are you scared? Okay, don't be scared, I am here."
Empress Dowager Xu chirped with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I had a nightmare just now. It was like a firebird flying in the night sky. It spread its wings, covering the sky and the sun, and in the blink of an eye, I had a nightmare.
Devour! It was the prince who protected me at the critical moment... Later, when I woke up, I heard that there was water leakage at the granary..."
Her words were slightly confused, but King Cangtian felt pity for her and was very helpful.
He said: "Good girl, don't be afraid, your dream was right, I will indeed protect you..."
Just like that, King Cangtian persuaded and Queen Mother Xu responded, and the two of them hugged each other as if no one was around, as if they were a couple in love.
The guards around her looked accustomed to this. Empress Dowager Xu acted coquettishly like a young girl, but King Cangtian actually called her "girl". Such a ridiculous thing was performed in public.
Cheng Ling, who was hiding in the dark, was dumbfounded. This was unexpected and reasonable - ah, what the hell, there is no such reason!
But the reality is often much more dramatic than the script. Although Cheng Ling feels that it should not be reasonable that King Cangtian and Empress Dowager Xu have an affair, the fact is that it exists. Whether it is reasonable or not, at least
, it is logical.
No wonder Queen Mother Xu and the young emperor wanted to defect to King Cang Tian!
The northeast corner of the Sheriff's Mansion was filled with flames, but the lakeside in the garden was full of warmth.
While King Cangtian continued to comfort Queen Mother Xu, he began to issue various orders.
"Go and call Lu Chun over, and add more people to put out the fire."
"Send more manpower to patrol. If the thief is still in the house, he will have nowhere to hide!"
